Chapter 395 10 10 alien spaceships!
Since there are no satellites and no aircraft, the war philosophy of the Tep civilization is generally stuck in the era of giant ships and cannons. The more troops there are, the more fierce the artillery, the higher the combat effectiveness of which side will be. Moreover, in order to overcome air friction, the mass of the shells is particularly huge, which is completely an enlarged version of the shells that humans once had.
In addition to giant ships and cannons, there is also a war mode that uses airships to transport missiles and bomb the ground. Which airship can fly higher, then which side will be invincible.
"War has never been far away..."
Just watching the TV room, a huge streamlined airship arrived at the station. O'Brien hurriedly ate his breakfast and boarded the airship with the passengers.
Immediately afterwards, the air pressure pump rang out loudly and quickly inflated the surrounding sub-airbags. As the volume of the sub-airbags increased, the airboat took off very smoothly again.
This airship, code-named "Linzeppel", can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour. In the city, each public airship has its own route, and its rated speed can reach about 50 kilometers per hour.
Fortunately, the stations are straightforward and there are no intermediate stations, so this speed is acceptable.
Since there is no way to build high-rise buildings, the unit land can accommodate a small population. This civilized residence is like farmland, spreading neatly, and the core area in the central area must be an airship parking place.
O'Brien's work location is at the Observatory Meteorological Office, 50 kilometers away, and can be reached in just one hour.
When he came to the astronomical meteorological observatory, he found that the atmosphere inside was as usual. Most of his colleagues gathered together to chat casually, and the working day had not officially begun.
The Astronomical Observatory is mainly responsible for the exploration of alien spaces and meteorological monitoring.
Of course... it's mainly the latter.
The airship navigation system still has a very high climate requirement. Whether it is strong winds or heavy rains, it may cause traffic paralysis. This requires that the meteorological observatory can predict the weather conditions more accurately and issue notifications in a timely manner.
O'Brien's biggest wish is to launch a real meteorological satellite... There was once a project like this in the plan, but it eventually died because of the technical difficulty and the financial requirements.
It is very difficult for the entire country to manufacture even the aircraft, let alone launch rockets.
Therefore, the funding for starry sky exploration is very, very small. Everyone thinks that if the technology is developed in a few years, it may save a lot of money?
Moreover, we have never used artificial satellites, and most Tep people don’t think this kind of thing is very urgent. Can we live well without satellites? Can we accurately predict the weather? Only these meteorologists are eager for satellites, but the appeals of these experts are often useless.
"Tomorrow is over again. The government allocates only a few million yuan a year. At most, it is not too large to maintain an astronomical telescope or satellite? At this rate of development, it is impossible to have it in the next century!"
O'Brien sneered in his heart and kept complaining about the short-sightedness of the politicians. Without visible benefits, politicians would not be able to allocate funds.
A large number of scientists are sharpening their heads and thinking about how to make airships fly higher, and all the funds are invested in airships. Since the last plan failed, the Tep people were too lazy to consider other aircraft that could produce qualitative changes. Many people even directly believe that it is impossible to fly in the air.
"What's the weather today?" Just thinking about it, a colleague greeted him.
This is not a casual greeting, but their job.
Since there are no satellites, climate observations must be completed through the airship observation deck above. Radio communications and computer technology have appeared on this planet.
O'Brien glanced at the data on the computer and came back to his senses: "There shouldn't be too big... Of course, it's just my experience and judgment. Now our area is in a high-pressure state, with sinking airflows, and the probability of rainfall is scarce...the air humidity is not high."
"It's another relaxing day." The colleague stretched lazily, as if he hadn't woken up.
At this moment, suddenly, a computer in the next room emitted a "Didi" alarm.
"It seems that the radio interferometer has observed signals from outer space."
This kind of thing is not once or twice. Neutron stars, pulsars, and even solar winds may have electromagnetic wave signals. The atmosphere of this planet is thick enough that even the most violent solar winds have an insignificant impact on the planet.
"I'll go and check it out, it's good to record it."
O'Brien trotted over and recorded these signals into the storage device. He suddenly realized that these signals had certain rules, but were more like the general telegram password of the Tep civilization.
"Fortunately, I learned the language of telegraph..." He scratched his head and typing on the keyboard, the entire translation came out in an instant.
"Hello, unknown civilization, we are human civilizations from afar, coming with peace and goodwill."
"We abide by the principle of equality and free trading. Everything can be bought and everything can be sold, as long as you can pay the corresponding price..."
"us……"
When I saw this line of text, my colleague who came to join in the fun laughed silently, "I bet that some idle guy sent this message on the airboat... Even the password is our telegram password. Could it be that we, the Tep, accidentally conquered the entire universe?"
"What are you betting on? Lunch for a meal? I've invited you." O'Brien didn't care much, and began to try to control the space telescope: "But the direction of the radio waves does come from space."
"Their spacecraft stays above the atmosphere, is it true? You are so bored. You have to search for it. Be careful of being scolded by the webmaster." The colleague was still chatting next door, staring at the screen: "Hey??!"
"What's this?!"
His voice suddenly increased, almost from a plain sentence to a huge scream!
"Extra...again!"
A large number of colleagues heard the scream and rushed over, thinking that something really happened.
A small shadow really appeared in the telescope!
It seems... it stays at an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, and no airboat can fly to an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, and there is no atmosphere there at all.
It was incredible that the air was filled with deathly silence!
Aliens, aliens really appeared.
Every Tep man held his breath, as if his brain was down. After a few seconds, he ran to the leader with a more intelligent ambition.
"Replace the resolution ten times more!" The stationmaster of the meteorological observatory rushed over after hearing the news, and he said in a trembling tone.
O'Brien swallowed, his face not very good-looking.
The shadows on the screen gradually became clear.
It can be seen in a vague way that it is not just one spaceship, but... 10!
Chapter completed!
