Chapter 383
As the Xuanniao fighter jet broke through the 40000-meter mark above the Earth's surface and entered near-Earth space orbit, after switching to the electric thrust of the focusing array disk, the fighter jet's fuselage also began to change its appearance in space.
In the eyes of people all over the world, is the Blackbird still a conventionally powered fighter jet?
This is clearly a small spaceship capable of interstellar travel.
Because it was conducted via live streaming, and because the first-generation Xuan Bird directly docked with Longxia's Tiangong space station after entering space.
That's why it's possible to connect with major media outlets on the ground in real time via the internet.
When the Xuan Bird carried people into space, and even traveled smoothly towards the two International Space Stations in orbit, the media, politicians, and even high-ranking officials such as presidents of various Western countries were stunned.
Even as the Xuan Bird sped past the Tiangong Space Station, it deliberately slowed down to salute the Longxia astronauts through the glass.
Subsequently, amidst the gaze of billions of people on Earth, the Black Bird arrived at the International Space Station in the West.
As the futuristic Xuan Bird fighter jet rapidly approached, the Western astronauts inside were sweating profusely, providing real-time updates on the Longxia sixth-generation fighter's every move.
However, just as the crew on the Western International Space Station were sweating with tension, the Blackbird flew directly over the Western countries' space stations without any pause.
Heading straight for the moon, which is 38 kilometers away from Earth.
In a vacuum, without air, sound cannot travel normally. Of course, this environment also has an advantage: any object with sufficient thrust can travel at high speeds, even exceeding the speeds comprehensible to ordinary people.
For example, Voyager 2 can maintain a speed of 15 kilometers per second as it moves away from the solar system during its deep space exploration.
The Xuan Bird's light-gathering array can generate terrifying thrust by using light energy, and Chen Xuan had designed the Xuan Bird's form for soaring through space from the very beginning.
Therefore, at this moment, in the vacuum environment with no air resistance, the first generation of Xuan Niao was gradually approaching the speed of Voyager 2, which was 15 kilometers per second, under full-speed driving.
As the designer and creator of the Black Bird, Chen Xuan was well aware of its limits.
After Bai Xue reported the speed in real time, she said, "Let's keep it around 38 kilometers per second."
"Yes."
Bai Xue immediately calculated the time it would take for the Black Bird to arrive at the moon based on the distance.
"At the current speed of 38 kilometers per second, it would only take 2.8 hours to reach the lunar surface."
As an official, Bai Xue was incredibly nervous as she piloted the Xuan Bird into space for the first time. She needed to constantly monitor the various data on the instrument panel and transmit this data back to the ground air force base in real time via space station, satellite, and other means.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was much more at ease. Having lived two lives, this was also Chen Xuan's first time entering space.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited, after all, since the dawn of humanity, we have had endless fantasies about the sky and a relentless desire to explore it.
However, with Chen Xuan's current strength and knowledge, he was no longer curious about space.
"Master Chen Xuan".
Just as Chen Xuan was admiring the endless starry river, Bai Xue suddenly asked a question.
"Hmm, what's the problem?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Now, based on the questions raised by netizens in Longxia, I would like to ask you to share your views," Bai Xue said.
"Oh? It's not appropriate for me, a philistine, to ask you about science, is it?" Chen Xuan said with a smile. "Go ahead and ask. I can only guess if I don't know the area."
Bai Xue smiled and then voiced the questions that Longxia netizens had raised.
"A fan of astronomy asks you: Do extraterrestrials exist in the universe? If so, what does it mean for humanity? Conversely, what does it mean if humanity never encounters any real extraterrestrial life?"
After Bai Xue finished answering the questions raised, Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "This question is very academically debating!"
"So, what are your thoughts, Daoist Master?" Bai Xue smiled at Chen Xuan, her phoenix eyes filled with admiration.
Chen Xuan, based on the information revealed by Fairy Biluo about the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Four Regions and Eight Desolations, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Countless Small Worlds, organized his words to answer the questions raised by Long Tianxia's literature enthusiasts and fans.
