Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 807: Heaven and Earth Link, Begin! (3/3)

Time slowly moves forward.

Both the Pillar of Heaven and the base island were gradually shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

In the command hall of the Pillar of Heaven, Li Xuan pursed his lips slightly and occasionally looked at the big screen.

Li Xuan paid the most attention to the screen related to radar detection.

The attack that occurred when connecting with the counterweight satellite had just happened about a week ago, and that thrilling battle still made Li Xuan feel extremely thrilling.

If it weren't for He Ming and Salamantini who turned the tide in the end, even if the Pillar of Heaven successfully overcame the difficulties, the base island below would probably not be put into use for several years, and this would still be the most ideal result.

Once it is determined that it can no longer be used, not only will it be necessary to find a new island and carry out land reclamation work again, but it will also mean that the massive investment made by the East Asian Republic in the base island will be instantly wasted.

"It's almost time!"

Lund Mina Sahak spoke.

She looked calm and meticulously read the reports from various departments.

"Yeah! It's almost time!"

Li Xuan stood up, turned around and looked at the guest seats set up behind the command center.

Lacus Klein and Yuri Amalfi, representatives of the parliamentarians, were sitting at the front.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the main screen intently, waiting for that moment to come.

"Report! All system pre-startup tests completed! All systems passed, no abnormalities! All subsystems completed response and are in standby mode!"

At this time, the system detection of the Pillar of Heaven was completed.

After exchanging opinions with Lund Mina Sahak, Li Xuan asked.

"Colonel He, are you online?"

"I'm here. Envoy."

The next second, the picture that appeared on the main screen surprised Li Xuan a little.

Because, in addition to the famous faces, there is also a background dominated by the cockpit.

Judging from the view presented by the transparent canopy, He Ming should be flying the aircraft at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

"Colonel He, shouldn't you be at the ground command center?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.

As the inventor of the solar power generation system, He Ming should stay in the ground command center as planned and be responsible for on-site command.

"No! There are too many people there, I can't get used to it. Besides, I can also provide you with a "golden finger" now."

"Goldfinger?"

He Ming's words were somewhat confusing.

But the next second, the same scene appeared in both the Heavenly Pillar and the ground command center.

"Report! A new connection has been found! The link name is "Super Intelligent Comprehensive Calculation AI", do you want to allow the connection?"

The same problem was placed before the Pillar of Heaven and the commander of the ground command center.

"Approve it! That's my personal AI. It can help connect heaven and earth. And the reason why I'm driving this machine and appearing in the sky is because of this."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan and the commander of the ground command center approved it without hesitation.

"The link protocol passed! The super-intelligent comprehensive calculation AI entered the system and began to take over the underlying program, began the final test, began to check resources! Begin communication line testing!" As soon as the intelligent AI cube Arduino took over, it immediately gave the operators of the Pillar of Heaven and the ground command center of the base island a great sense of shock.

It was crazy to watch the data and windows jumping on the screen like a frenzy. Even some small problems that they had not found after several tests were fixed in an instant, which stunned all the staff.

"what is happening?"

The surprise did not last long. In just a few minutes, Arduino completed all the tests and troubleshooting, and even used the excess computing power to fix some minor problems.

"Final test, passed without abnormality! Comprehensive investigation completed, no abnormality! You can connect to the sky and the earth at any time! "

"This machine will enter standby mode! Once the connection between the earth and the sky begins, this machine will start the real-time monitoring plan, and provide the first warning and intervention for possible orbital deviation, gravity changes, atmospheric anomalies and other problems! Please prepare the corresponding response plan and preparation! "

When Adino's calm, almost emotionless voice sounded simultaneously in the halls of the Pillar of Heaven and the ground command center of the pedestal island, everyone felt not indifference or loss, but excitement and even excitement.

Being able to complete detection, troubleshooting, and even proactively deploy intelligent AI to deal with all possible causes of failure in the connection between heaven and earth in such a short period of time is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for the completion of this historic feat!
Li Xuan let out a long breath slowly.

"Master Mina. I suddenly feel that this time the connection between heaven and earth does not seem to be a very difficult thing."

Lund Mina Sahak responded slowly.

"Feel the same."

Although everyone knows that He Ming is very mysterious and always has methods that surprise people, the sudden intervention of the intelligent AI cube in the connection between heaven and earth at this moment really surprised everyone.

It is not difficult to see that after Arduino took over the systems related to the connection between heaven and earth, the atmosphere in the command center gradually relaxed from tense and oppressive.

I believe the atmosphere in the ground command center is the same.

"All hardware is online! All engine control programs are online! All sensors are confirmed to be online! The connection between heaven and earth begins!"

When the time comes, the fixed structure under the Pillar of Heaven is gradually untied, releasing the "cargo" that has been prepared long ago.

"here we go!"

(There is no relevant information for the following plot about the connection between the space station and the ground base station! It is purely the author's personal imagination, so just watch it for fun!)
At this moment, the eyes of all those in the know were cast towards the Pillar of Heaven. As several flames lit up from the bottom of the Pillar of Heaven, the first counterweight ring also detached from the Pillar of Heaven. Under the slow propulsion of the propulsion engine, it slowly left the Pillar of Heaven and flew towards the predetermined location.

Behind them are a larger number of counterweight rings that perform the same task.

The counterweight ring is equipped with many propulsion units, which can adjust the balance of the cable and its own posture during the descent.

Of course.

The energy used by these propulsion units comes directly from the solar power generation system of the Pillar of Heaven.

As long as these propulsion units are not in an overloaded state within a certain time unit, the energy they can use can be said to be almost endless.

"Counterweight ring number one has been successfully released! Counterweight ring number two and counterweight ring number three will be released in three and five minutes respectively!"

"The cable is currently unfolding normally! Each motor unit is operating normally, and the output is at the average level!"

"···"

Listening to the sounds of normalcy, Li Xuan leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"At least 36,000 kilometers in height. Master Mina, is this the tallest building in human history?"

Lund Mina Sahak nodded.

"That's right! Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, we are doing something incredible right now. Moreover, this is just a preliminary plan. A hundred years from now, when the global solar power generation system construction project is completed, perhaps this record will be broken."

"Maybe!"
