Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Lightning escape pod.

Fully pitch black, the skeleton is made of titanium alloy and has a high temperature ceramic coating to hold one person safely landing from a low orbit to the surface. There should have been a rectifier at the top of the prism, but it had been abandoned on its way back to the surface.

Although the height of this test is not as exaggerated as a thousand kilometres, a hundred kilometres of altitude is probably beyond the limits of human skydiving altitude.

This escape pod was originally mounted on the Cheung Rui.

On the return journey, at an altitude of about 100 kilometres, the Xiangrui tested the escape device while it was operating over the western part of China, separating the Lightning pod from the aircraft and throwing it into the central region of the Jungle Basin.

At the same time, it was Cheung Rui's last test in the 24-hour first-flight test.

When it comes to technical content, it's not really anything with a particular technical content, at best it's a reduced version of a manned spaceship returning to its cabin. In addition to accommodating an adult, it houses simple survival tools and emergency food, fresh water, and medicines that sustain a person for 10 days.

Apart from the more unique styling, this stuff really isn't worth 200 million dollars. At most, some of the data collected is important, but it's not worth so much money, especially if it's one-time...

That's why the Ark would be so surprised to hear that someone on the black market actually offered a $200 million sky price for this thing.

Grass grip, this shit is bought with a lot of money.

Looking at the goosebump, Wang Peng responded a little after a while to that statement of the Ark.

“... put it on? ”

“Mmm.”

Without explaining much, the ark took out two gloves and went forward across the perimeter.

While satellites falling from the sky may carry more or less a little radiation, it is based on the premise that they have been in high orbit for a long time before they can have an impact on the health of nearby organisms.

Cheung Sui stayed in low orbit for only 24 hours in total, and this thing was 100 kilometres out of the cabin, so naturally there was no need to worry about the radioactive residue.

Without rushing to open the hatch door, the boat first observed the connection of the lower reducer umbrella, as well as damage to several key components, such as high-temperature ceramic shields and alloy reducer plates, before opening the escape hatch called "Lightning” from the outside through the emergency switch.

As a leak of air emerged from the bridge of the hatch door, the hatch door that unlocked the sealing system opened slowly, revealing a plastic dummy with his hands crossed in front of his chest and lying upside down in a protective air cushion.

He stretched his neck and glanced at the situation in the escape compartment. Yan Yeon, standing outside the security line, whispered.

“It's really for 'wearing'...”

Director Li did not speak, but stared curiously at the action of the Ark and wanted to see what he was going to do.

Without the people standing behind the line of alert, the attention of the ark at this moment is completely focused on the fake man in the air cushion. He took his phone out of his pocket, connected it to a fake person, and then reached out and pressed it on his Bluetooth headset and said softly.

“Em, leave it to you. ”

Soon, a line of text popped up on the phone screen.

[Roger, master! (๑ • ㅂ •)✧]

Almost as this message disappears, the progress bars on the screen fill up quickly.

Data, including temperature, pressure, G-value, etc., and their relationship to landing time, altitude, are presented on the phone screen and automatically plotted into curved images.

After a brief glance at the data, the ship pressed the Saved button, unplugged the data cable and continued to attach it to the interface inside the airbag, copying the flight data from the escape pod.

“… a deviation of approximately 174 metres from the original airdrop target is acceptable. ”

Looking at the information on the phone screen, the corner of the ark's mouth raised a smile.

Overall, this escape pod works perfectly, although it may be less friendly to the “astronauts" sitting inside, entering the atmosphere because an excessive G-value may lead to a brief black vision or even a coma, but there is nothing wrong with preserving life in the event of an air crash.

Moreover, these shortcomings can be overcome in subsequent improvements.

Looking at the ark coming out of the quarantine zone, Director Lee asked in haste.

“What do you say? Does this thing work? ”

The ark was happy to say, "It works, and from the sensor indices, if it's a person sitting in it, it should be alive by now. ”

Director Lee went on to ask, "Is this type of escape pod demanding for the user's physical fitness? ”

“Harsh? Not too harsh,” the Ark thought for a while and went on to say, "As long as you are not a patient with heart disease or high blood pressure, and your general physical fitness meets normal adult standards, you will be able to use this equipment with some training. Depending on your physical condition, some side effects may occur, but are generally within recoverable range. ”

Director Li continued: “Do you think it would be feasible if you used it to drop soldiers...”

The ship stunned for a moment and guessed what he was thinking, laughing and saying.

“Theoretically, of course… it would be a little unacceptable in terms of cost. ”

Director Li: “What is the unit price of this device? ”

The ark thought about it and said, "About $12 million. ”

Astronauts are not expensive, but they are definitely not cheap.

Even when used to deliver special forces, this single-use airdrop equipment is expensive.

And if it is subsequently improved, advanced technologies such as active ejection deceleration, etc. are applied, taking into account, for example, the confidentiality of equipment.

However, if this technology is mastered, its significance is also quite remarkable.

This would mean that Chinese marines would be able to land in any corner of the planet in one hour or less, disregarding the airspace of another. In the event of a humanitarian rescue, an overseas hostage rescue, or something like an offshore fight... Terrorists and other actions highlight the value of such equipment.

Looking at Director Li with both eyes open, Ark chuckled and said.

“Come on, there's nothing to see here anymore. ”

After returning to God, Director Li stunned slightly and said: "Is that it? ”

“Almost done on my side,” he continued, looking in the direction of the Jeep. "The rest is waiting for the researchers from the Golden Mahall to come over and do a more thorough examination of the landing area and the escape pod... these tasks will take about two or three days, and then you'll have to find a way to get this equipment back to the Golden Mahall. ”

Director Li's eyebrows twitched and couldn't help but say.

“That's all you have to do to get here yourself. ”

Just copy the data. Everyone can do it.

“I didn't come here for this either," he said, looking at the rolling yellow sand outside the camp in the distance, and the ark squinted his eyes and continued, "I just came to take a look at the situation on this side of the escape pod, mainly looking at the desert environment. ”

Director Li was slightly stunned when he heard from the Ark.

“Exploring the environment? ”

“Well," the ark nodded, "for our Chinese biosphere number two! ”
