I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

After the main parachute was straightened in the air, it was still fully inflated. After eight seconds of vertical fall, it was released from the inflated state. The huge main parachute of 1200 square meters was fully inflated and landed obliquely at the return manifest point.

【Throw away the heat outsole. 】

58 seconds later, the hot bottom of the return capsule was jettisoned with a "bang", and the vertical suspension releaser was activated to straighten the obliquely falling return capsule into a horizontal position.

【Gamma height controller starts...】

[Reverse thrust engine preheating ignition, energy power curve 85%--100--75--50...]

[3-2-1]

Under Huang Ya's control, the reverse thrust engine at the bottom of the return capsule was manipulated little by little to complete the final smooth landing.

Amidst the flying dust, the return capsule with its huge parachute landed in a wheat field. The contrast from extreme movement to extreme stillness was so great that even someone with Shirleya's physical fitness felt a surge in her throat and she wanted to vomit.

The other two people who had just woken up looked even more pale.

【Landing successful, welcome home.】

'Puff'

The hatch of the return capsule popped out automatically, and sunlight shone into the cabin through the gap.

Alexei untied the safety straps on his body with trembling hands, climbed out of the cabin using his hands and feet, lay down on his back in the wheat field, took off his space helmet and breathed in the fresh... oh, the air full of smoke and dust.

A shadow blocked the sunlight. Alexey looked up and saw a dark and kind face. However, her expression was not so kind at this time. She held the fork in the pasture and pointed at Alexey with a vigilant look: "Who are you? Are you a spy from abroad?"

"Auntie, I'm nothing... Bah, bah, bah, I'm an Alliance astronaut, look at the flag on my chest!"

At this time, villagers came running over one after another. In addition to farm tools, they also carried double-barreled shotguns that were very effective for self-defense and could shoot out bullets silently.

'What's wrong? What's that big thing?'

'He said he was some kind of ape'

"Oh my wheat! Forget the gods, just fork him out!"

During the busy farming season, people in rural areas have no time to watch TV and they get more information through the radio. Land is a taboo for farmers, so the situation is starting to become a little tense.

Fortunately, the army responsible for the search mission used a military helicopter to lock onto the signal source in a very short time and quickly rushed to the scene.

After amiably and unquestionably taking control of the scene, all the soldiers rushed towards Alexi and the others with even more intense enthusiasm. They did not dare to touch the girls, but Alexi, a grown man, truly felt their enthusiasm.

Shaking hands, signing autographs, hugging, and answering all kinds of questions. The most frequently asked question was what it felt like to go into space for the first time.

Even the officers could not suppress this excitement. Of course, they did not want to suppress it. This was how a group of young men in their teens and twenties should be. They themselves were also very surprised deep down.

They are heroes of the planet they live on, and not only themselves but the whole world thinks so.

Alexei and others rushed into space, and the equipment serving them also brought back a lot of valuable information data, images and photos.

Not everyone has received professional education, and not everyone can become enlightened after receiving education.

A set of real-life space photos is far more shocking than a thousand propaganda in books, news newspapers and newspapers about the benefits of space exploration. Many people still believe that seeing is believing.

Among them, the photos of other planets caused a huge social impact.

After accepting the premise that we live on a planet, questions like whether there are aliens, whether aliens are more powerful than us, how they would interact with us, etc. have become hot topics on the streets.

Unexpectedly, most ordinary people are generally optimistic, or it can be said that the rapid development of the Alliance's technology and its increasing international status have given them unparalleled confidence, allowing them to look at things with a more peaceful attitude.

Compared with citizens within the alliance, people from other countries were hit harder, or rather, the alliance's operations gradually became incomprehensible to them, as if they were not in the same boat.

After all, they are still studying how to get enough food and resume production, explore outer space, and aliens seem a bit too far away from them.

Leaders of various countries have to consider something more profound, because there are more planets in space. If they can find a planet suitable for survival, then there is no need for them to mess around on their home planet.

Instead of arguing with each other on the border all day long, it would be better to cling to the alliance and join the plan. Who knows, maybe one day in the future they can get a share of the spoils. After all, even if they only get one percent of the land of an ownerless planet, it is still a hundred times larger than the area of ​​their entire country.

Of course, the most important point that makes them think of this is that the alliance has proved that they have indeed made it in the field of space, turning the illusory pie into a carrot that seems to be within reach with a little effort.

In addition to this goal itself, entering space is also a sustainable project with considerable returns. However, its returns require a main body to continuously provide it with transfusions in the fields of economy, talent, policy, etc. in order to realize results.

For example, the challenges faced by astronauts come from all aspects, such as how to protect themselves and how to fill their stomachs. The technologies derived from meeting these challenges will eventually be transferred to the field of people's livelihood.

Just like a major accident that happened when the Alliance was simulating the space environment in a ground simulation cabin, a spark that suddenly burst out in the return capsule turned into a raging fire in a very short time. If it was not just a simulated environment, this fire could burn the astronauts to ashes within a dozen seconds.

After that, the Alliance improved the fabric of the space suit and developed Teflon-coated glass fiber according to the requirements. This material is as strong as nylon, lightweight and flexible, and is fully insulating and flame retardant, and has extremely high thermal insulation efficiency.

This technology can be applied to building materials in the future. It is flame retardant, heat insulating, lightweight, light transmissive, and can reduce the corrosion of rain and moisture to the materials. It is a perfect building material.

Now the roofs of stadiums and racing tracks in the league are all made of this Teflon fiber, and it can also be used in fire fighting and special police equipment.

Such examples abound. With the initial investment of 20 billion alliance coins, the alliance has driven a civilian market worth more than 100 billion alliance coins in various fields within the alliance, including medicine, energy, communications, materials, computers, and consumer goods.

The input-output ratio is more than 1 to 10, and it is still a completely positive progress. It can be seen that aerospace is a huge complex of interests, and such long-term planning should not be too perfect.

However, in order to reap this dividend, the country behind it must have strong enough scientific and technological strength, a long-term vision, and a central government that is willing to allocate funds.

Therefore, the perfect completion of the alliance's space program this time is undoubtedly a blessing for the people of all countries on the planet, because even under the leadership of a superpower, peace is not eternal, because resources are ultimately limited.

However, competition for limited resources and unrest can never be avoided. What superpowers guarantee is not permanent peace, but relative regional peace.

That is, you can start a war, but you cannot destroy the world or get involved in the unscrupulous war dynamics of most countries.

It can only be restricted to non-hotspot areas, limited in scale, and limited in weapons level to the level that is acceptable to other countries. In the final analysis, war in the world is still unavoidable, it is just restricted.

But the progress of the Alliance's space industry has opened a window for the world to see gold everywhere, and it also brings the possibility of lasting and true peace.

Based on the summary of exploration results from visits to many locations over the years, scientists from the alliance have detected approximately 63% of the planet's resource reserves. With the advancement of future technology, deeper exploration and drilling capabilities will allow for potential discoveries.

The total number of healthy people that this planet can sustain is roughly around 40 billion, based on health standards, which means that the living standards will not be too bad.

At least in terms of the allocation of total resources, even if there is some encroachment by a certain class, the utilization of arable land and various non-renewable resources can at least allow 40 billion people to live a life without worries about food, clothing and work.

It is not impossible to have more, but after exceeding 40 billion, with the explosive increase in population, there will inevitably be a huge resource gap, because the total amount of resources is not enough, some people will be able to eat their fill, while others can only eat grass.

There will inevitably be artificial factors to create a certain area where people are only fit to eat grass and soil to ensure the enrichment of resources in the country's allies. The decision-makers will naturally take caring more about the lives of their own people as a prerequisite, and the policy will turn right.

The larger the total population, the more acute this contradiction will be, so theoretically eternal peace can never be achieved.

Unless the speed of development exceeds or even far exceeds the speed of consumption, the insignificant benefits that spill over will be enough for ordinary people to live a prosperous life.

The alliance has also prepared a backup plan in case the aerospace field is stagnant or even fails due to high development costs, which is the exploration and development of the outside world.

Previously, the World Alliance of Fanica would not distribute the profits but occupied and used it alone. However, the Alliance does not mind using this world as a transit point to attract other friendly allies to develop and explore other unknown worlds under the guidance of the Alliance, and jointly cooperate to develop and achieve win-win results.

However, this plan is still pending, and this backup plan will not be activated until a situation arises where a major commotion is required and the news from the outside world cannot be completely concealed.

The ideal situation is that the alliance takes the lead both inside and outside the industry, and everything goes smoothly, so that the technological advantage can always remain at the leading level.

Chapter 450: Sun Chaser Project

Surrounded by the military and civilians, the three of them boarded a bus to the military hospital, where they were immediately arranged to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that they were not affected by outer space radiation.

This is because they did not leave the cabin. If they had close contact with outer space, they would definitely not be allowed to come into contact with other people.

After the physical examination, there was a grand celebration. After severely punishing a group of idle guys in Astar Oblast, the three women rushed back to the capital overnight and dressed up to attend the meeting with Alexei, Valentina and Shirleya.

The three of them correspond to the human race, the beastman race, and the long-lived ethnic minority respectively, which happens to include all groups and can be said to be very ZZ correct.

Compared to the other two who were obviously flattered, Shirleya seemed much more casual. When Medea extended her hand to shake hands, the two bowed slightly to prepare, while the carefree Shirleya directly took Medea's little hand and kissed it.

The reporters who were watching and recording the scene did not dare to make any noise due to the Queen's majesty, but the shutter buttons in their hands were so many that afterimages were left.

Alexei and Valentina, who were waiting to shake hands, froze in their places. Did they also want to...?

The tall and strong Alexei hesitated for a moment and immediately felt his hair stand on end. The woman who had little presence next to the Queen stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, making his head spin like never before.

His instinct was faster than thinking and he stepped forward, bent over, lightly touched the little hand with both hands, and then retracted his hands. The speed was so fast that Medea, who was about to pat his shoulder, was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, there were no fools who could pass the layers of screening. Valentina followed Alexei's movements very smoothly, so that the brief pause did not seem abrupt.

The ceremony then continued, and the national alliance medals made of holy crystals provided by the Holy Light Church were worn on the chests of the three people.

This is currently the highest level medal of honor in the Alliance, and can only be obtained by making significant contributions that can change or promote world progress.

Every winner will surely be written into world history as a legend of sharing weal and woe with the mother planet.

After the ceremony, Mitia glanced at the eager media and the Space City students with bright eyes in the audience and said with a smile: "I will not disturb you here anymore. Go and enjoy your glorious moment. This is what you deserve."

After saying that, she left the hall with everyone's regards. With her status, it was impossible not to let others pay attention to her every move. If she stayed too long, they would not even dare to show their excitement, which would be unpleasant.

It would be better to leave early and let them have some fun and relax. After all, the tasks for the next few people are not easy.

Now all the official media in the league are on high alert. The league's propaganda machine will use all conceivable means to infinitely amplify the popularity of these three people, let their names resound throughout the world, and give them supreme glory.

Let everyone think of their identities as soon as they hear the name of one of the three people, and instill the significance of space to the world into the minds of people around the world through information media such as audio, video, and text, and plant a small seed called the space dream.

After Mitia and other senior leaders left, Alexei and Valentina were immediately surrounded by people, especially the group of young people who were once competitors and partners of Space City. They lifted them up and threw them into the sky, cheering loudly.

They did not feel any sadness or jealousy in their hearts, but more of envy. It was not shameful to fail in a fair competition in the league, and everything was recorded.

If you have any questions, you can verify them yourself, and you won't be left with any chance of luck.

And even though they lost in this round of competition, it does not mean failure, but a new starting point.

Once their registered residence is transferred to Kyoto, they will not be sent back, but will take root in the capital. Even if they cannot become astronauts, they will work in aerospace-related departments.

The alliance's development in the space field is not to launch one ship at a time, but to adopt the same dumplings-like approach, with pre-production, construction, and launch being promoted simultaneously.

A manned stroll in space is just to verify the data and conduct a practical test of the equipment. As long as there are no major accidents, the second and third rocket projects will be immediately launched to carry out satellite launches and aerial networking.

At the same time, the restrictions on the next space shuttle, moon landing plan and orbital space station plan will be unlocked, and research funds and various resources will increase exponentially.

Among them, elite talent reserves such as astronauts are naturally indispensable. Let alone the 36 trainees in the space capsule now, even 3600 may not be enough. There is a shortage of people in all fields, especially the elites among the elites who have been screened through layers of screening.

After getting back into the special car, the vehicle did not start but stopped for a while, until a petite figure sneaked into the car under the cover of security.

Medea withdrew her gaze from the document in front of her and turned to the visitor, saying with disdain: "What are you doing sneaking around? I have to make up some rumors for you even if there is nothing wrong."

Xue Liya stuck out her tongue: "Lulu, hey, I'm used to it..."

"Are you used to stealing and cheating? Do you want me to call your dragon mother back to correct you?"

Xue Liya was so scared that she wanted to shake her head and leave a shadow: "No, no, no! It's because of that perverted old dragon who bullied me that I became like this."

Shaking her head, Medea continued to flip through the copy of the space master plan codenamed [Sun Chaser] that was submitted by the think tank and revised: "Compared to you, a girl who doesn't care about the rules, Aisha is much more reliable."

Xue Liya said with a bitter face: "I know, she is very happy, bombing big guys for free every day."

Medea: "..."

"Bombing planes, bombing mechas, bombing rockets, bombing racing cars, bombing submarines..." Xue Liya counted on her fingers and recalled them one by one.

"Stop, stop, stop!"
