Chapter 334 - 234: It’s About to Open Its Eyes? Chains Appear
Lin Qi headed to the location of the T2-class Spacecraft and activated his Spiritual Vision.
Although the machine had completed its self-check, Lin Qi still needed to perform another review from an engineer’s perspective.
The spacecraft was in excellent condition, the Intelligent Brain was running normally, and there were no signs of any faults.
Before inputting the parameters, Lin Qi’s gaze, filtered through his Spiritual Vision, lingered for a long time on the Tier Five Extraordinary Items sent by the Headquarters.
After a moment of thought, Lin Qi issued an additional command to the Intelligent Brain.
At the speed of the T2-class Spacecraft, a distance of 320,000 kilometers wasn’t particularly far; it would only take about seven hours to reach the designated coordinates.
The aerospace technology of the Cyber World was far beyond anything the Doomsday World could match.
But for Lin Qi, such a high speed wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Lin Qi’s additional command modified the speed parameters, extending the mission time.
Lin Qi’s adjustment made it so the spacecraft’s arrival at the L1 point would almost perfectly align with the Door’s cooldown time.
The margin of error was only about 30 seconds.
After the T2-class Spacecraft transported the Tier Five Extraordinary Items to the L1 point, Lin Qi would return to the Cyber World within 30 seconds.
This was Lin Qi’s way of mitigating risk.
If the items provoked the Blood Moon, Lin Qi would only have to hold out for a very short time before he could return.
If Lin Qi found the risk to be beyond his threshold, he would abandon the Doomsday World for a very long time, at least until he had the ability to confront that risk.
After setting the parameters, Lin Qi returned to the Club Activity Building to meet with Wang Ziru, Ding Yang, and Wang Qiang.
"The official launch will commence in about two minutes. The spacecraft should reach its designated position in approximately twelve hours."
Lin Qi informed Ding Yang of this.
Ding Yang looked even more astonished. "Twelve hours? That fast?"
’Lin Qi really is a genius!’
’To develop such groundbreaking technology in such a short amount of time.’
’Theoretically, Lin Qi had just taken all the world’s aerospace experts and utterly put them to shame.’
But Ding Yang could understand. After all, according to Lin Qi himself, his Extraordinary Power focused on intellectual development.
From a scientific point of view, this was highly unscientific.
But from the perspective of the Extraordinary Domain, science didn’t apply.
Lin Qi replied, "If it weren’t for the fact that our fuel and chemical engineering technology can’t keep up, forcing us to use an optimized petroleum-based fuel, it could have been even faster."
Of course, Lin Qi was just making that up. The slower speed had little to do with the fuel; it was mainly because he himself had added the extra commands.
After saying this, Lin Qi added, "But there’s still one critical issue. Once the spacecraft leaves the ground, it will be fully automated. We on the ground will have no way of knowing whether the plan was successful."
It was impossible to receive data feedback—an effect of the Doomsday World’s environment.
The signal loss wasn’t due to natural conditions; rather, at the Extraordinary level, all means of long-range, high-speed information transmission were completely cut off.
Ding Yang didn’t seem worried about this.
Wang Qiang, standing to the side, explained, "The Headquarters is capable of indirect monitoring. If the Blood Moon’s transformation is successfully delayed, Headquarters will receive intel feedback immediately."
Lin Qi had launched the spacecraft, but whether the mission succeeded or failed would have to be determined through information from Headquarters.
’The methods at the disposal of Headquarters were as unfathomable as ever.’
Lin Qi nodded and said no more.
The Dragon Country Command Headquarters of the Doomsday World had possessed certain classified information from the very beginning, and Lin Qi couldn’t be bothered to investigate it further.
If someone told Lin Qi that the Dragon Country Command Headquarters was getting help from Aliens, he would be willing to believe it.
Otherwise, it was hard to explain how, in an ordinary urban world where the apocalypse suddenly erupted, the government could organize effective rescue forces with such high efficiency, and even begin to discover the path of the Extraordinary from the very first day.
On top of that, Lin Qi still remembered the first "Blood Moon transformation" he had witnessed with his own eyes—during the Doomsday World’s second wave of Spiritual Energy—and how the opening of the Blood Moon’s eye had been stopped.
Those Spiritual Particles that shot to the sky, that pillar of ice-blue light that appeared in his Spiritual Vision—that must have been the work of the Dragon Country Command Headquarters.
Just as Lin Qi was speaking with Ding Yang and Wang Qiang, the scheduled launch time arrived.
There was none of the thunderous noise of a conventional rocket launch, nor was there a visible exhaust plume.
All they saw was a "compact" spacecraft abruptly launching from the east athletic field of Mo University.
If they hadn’t been paying close attention, Ding Yang and Wang Qiang might not have even noticed the spacecraft at all.
The two of them subconsciously exchanged a glance, then both gasped.
HISS!
’How is this rocket so quiet?’
’Like a ghost, it just shot up into the sky with a whoosh?’
’What kind of technology is this?’
The two of them turned to look at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi wasn’t very familiar with this aspect of the technology; he had only seen many of its special structures on the blueprints.
According to King Arthur, this thing was originally designed as an escape vehicle for Extraordinary Professionals carrying out missions like assassination and infiltration during corporate wars.
Naturally, the launch process had to be extremely covert, and its acceleration had to be incredibly fast.
Otherwise, how could anyone hope to escape from a Cyber City under martial law?
Replicated from the blueprints, the spacecraft produced by the Mo University Camp naturally had a perfect copy of these performance features.
Seeing Ding Yang and Wang Qiang’s wide-eyed stares, Lin Qi thought for a moment before explaining, "It’s a special design feature of the spacecraft. The Zombie cleanup efforts outside Mo University have only advanced a few hundred meters. If this launch attracted too many Zombies, all our previous work would be for nothing."
