Research Base.
Old Wang's body swayed.
My whole body was trembling.
20 times the speed of sound has already exceeded the limits of his understanding.
Now, however, they've come up with an additional power mode.
Modern advanced fighter jets also have afterburner modes.
Once the engine engages afterburner, it means the aircraft is unleashing all its potential to reach maximum speed.
Ordinary supersonic fighter jets, when in afterburner mode, may directly break through twice the speed of sound.
The problem is, this mech is already traveling at 20 times the speed of sound.
If we turn on the boost mode again, what would happen?
As Old Wang was lost in thought...
Old Man Hua, who was standing next to him, accidentally saw the data panel in the lower right corner.
[Current Mode: King +1 Power Boost]
[Overall thrust: 2800 kN+, thrust data is not provided in King Mode]
[Body temperature: 3100℃]
[Speed: 43 mach ]
[Evaluation: Everything is normal!]
Old Man Hua's eyes widened to the size of eggs.
His mouth was so wide open that a fist could fit inside.
"Hachihachi" rapid panting.
It looks like it's about to end.
His eyes kept rolling upwards.
Tong Yao was the first to notice that Old Man Hua was acting strangely, and he was shocked.
He quickly helped her up and called out to her.
"Quick! Give Old Man Hua some nitroglycerin!"
A person nearby hurriedly pulled a small yellow bottle from Old Man Hua's Zhongshan suit.
Pour out a small black pill and give it to Old Man Hua.
Old Wang was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events and recovered from his initial shock.
My eyes also inadvertently fell on the data panel in the lower right corner.
Note that the speed above has changed to 45 mach.
"Gah—"
He couldn't catch his breath and his whole body convulsed.
Weak and brittle.
The researchers were immediately thrown into a frenzy.
"What's wrong with Old Wang?!"
"Old Wang, don't scare me!"
"..."
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Tong Yao remained calm despite the panic, and shouted loudly.
"Quickly give Old Wang some nitroglycerin! It'll be too late if we wait any longer!"
The two elderly people were helped to a chair on the side.
Each of them swallowed a small pill.
A nasal oxygen tube was inserted.
The shock on his face had not subsided at all.
They knew the unit "mach" all too well.
Let alone mechs, even fighter jets designed entirely according to hydrodynamics would find it extremely difficult to break through to twice the speed of sound.
Those who participated in the development of the K-series fighter jets knew this all too well.
The difficulties involved are too numerous to describe in a few words!
But this difficult thing seems to be no problem at all for Xu Fan.
A 5m mech should weigh at least 15 tons, conservatively speaking.
This huge thing, and you're telling me it flew at 45 times the speed of sound.
You can't believe a damn thing, not even if you gouge out my eyes!
If he hadn't seen the data panel with his own eyes, he would have thought the person who said that was crazy.
The two elderly people leaned back in their chairs, lost in thought, deeply questioning the meaning of life.
Xu Fan heard panicked sounds from the other end through the audio system.
Knowing there might be some emergency over there, he stopped paying attention and focused on piloting the mech.
The holographic audio system in Wang Yixue's car is for the passenger only and does not have the function of connecting to ground audio.
Therefore, we do not know the situation.
Moreover, he had just adapted to the current high speed, but was still panting heavily.
As they got closer and closer to the moon, his expression grew increasingly excited.
Many years ago, Armstrong set foot on the moon.
Leave a footprint on the moon.
He claimed that this was one small step for him, but one giant leap for mankind.
Now the two of them are once again close to the moon.
Even if we didn't manage to set foot on the moon, we can still be proud.
Wang Yixue's feelings at this moment are hard to describe.
There was emotion, reflection, and almost uncontrollable excitement.
Xu Fan then suddenly said to Wang Yixue.
"We're close enough now, it's time to slow down. Get ready, slowing down is just as painful as accelerating!"
"Okay, I'm ready!" Wang Yixue took a few deep breaths.
Grip the safety buckle tightly with both hands, and tense up your muscles.
Her chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that her inner state was not as calm as it appeared.
"Card waiting!"
Xu Fan used both hands to control the entire mecha, flipping it over.
This allows the engine nozzles on the back to face the moon, and the engine power to be turned up to maximum.
Jiangtian No. 1, which was originally speeding at 45 times the speed of sound, was instantly enveloped by a tremendous force in the opposite direction.
Xu Fan and Wang Yixue's eyeballs were almost completely pressed into their eye sockets.
All the blood was diverted to the back of the head and spine.
A terrifying feeling of suffocation washed over me.
"Thump... thump..."
The heart was almost flattened under the intense pressure.
Even after calculations, it is determined that humans can withstand such immense force.
Xu Fan still felt like he was going to die.
At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to Xu Fan.
I hope to develop a drug that can enhance physical strength in the future.
Even now, Jiangtian No. 1 has not reached its strongest state.
The human body's ability to withstand pressure is the greatest constraint on the mecha.
As the suffocating pressure eased, the mech finally hovered above a vast, desolate planet.
It was the midnight sun, and what I saw was...
A scene of utter desolation.
It seemed to represent death.
"This is the moon!" Wang Yixue murmured, his heart pounding.
"Let's go see the Moon Landing Memorial and Armstrong's footprints!"
Xu Fan pulled the control lever.
The mech plunged into the moon's gravitational field.
Although it is far away, the quantum phased array radar system has found the remains of the lunar maria base left by Armstrong during his moon landing.
On Earth, at the Research Base.
After breathing oxygen for a while, and with the help of medication, Old Man Wang and Old Man Hua have basically regained their mobility.
The first thing I did was pick up the phone that Wang Yixue had left behind.
Phone password unlocked successfully.
The app is still connected and running.
The researchers also gathered around and looked at the phone screen.
Then we saw the mech rushing towards the lunar surface at a speed of 5 mach.
However, everyone thought it was perfectly normal.
If it were just a flight or two, that really wouldn't be Xu Fan's style.
Having gone through 45 mach of trials, the experts at Research Base have become incredibly resilient.
"The lunar landing operation is already underway!"
Old Wang exclaimed in surprise, his palms sweating profusely.
Old Man Hua, standing to the side, also had bloodshot eyes and was breathing rapidly.
If Xu Fan lands successfully, it will be of great significance!
He represents not only himself, but also the entire Xia Kingdom.
The blood of my Xia Kingdom flows in my veins.
"Old Wang, should we report this to our superiors? After all, this matter deserves national celebration!" Tong Yao reminded him from the side.
"Let's take a look first. Even if we report it, we can't make it public."
Old Wang said solemnly.
"Whether it's this mech or Xu Fan himself, what they need most is protection!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Major inventions and genius inventors, whether exposed to the spotlight or not, face unimaginable crises.
Above the moon.
As the mech hurtled forward at high speed, the uneven, grayish-brown lunar soil became increasingly clear.
"I saw it!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Xu Fan shouted as the Moon Sea Base came into view.
Attitude adjustment Vector Nozzle is initiated.
The mecha's posture was adjusted in all directions, and its speed also dropped sharply.
Wang Yixue in the passenger seat.
And countless people at Research Base.
They all held their breath tightly.
I didn't dare blink.
I stared intently at the moment the mech finally landed on the moon.
"Boom!"
With a sudden tremor, the mecha landed steadily.
Both feet were slightly embedded in the lunar soil.
And it seems like his right foot stepped on something.
But none of that matters.
Importantly, he was about to see the Moon Landing Monument and the first human footprint on the moon in front of it.
" Yixue, quickly help me look around, where is the monument!"
Xu Fan was oblivious to the fact that Wang Yixue was blinking her big eyes and looking at him with a strange expression.
