Chapter 500: Earth Orbit Journey

Because it is manned, the bridge space is still very large, with multiple different station consoles.

After letting go of Sister You's hand, Li Meng picked up Yan'er, placed her on a seat, and fastened her seat belt.

Facing Yan'er's red face, Li Meng smiled slightly and pinched Yan'er's little cheek.

Yan'er has really grown up, and she is actually shy when hugging her.

"elder brother……"

Li Yan cried out in disbelief as her face was pinched, her face turned red.

Behind Li Meng, You Lan looked at the two intimate people with a faint smile on his face.

Although the idea in her heart was wrong, You Lan couldn't help but think that she couldn't give Meng'er everything, but she hoped that her daughter could make up for the regrets in her heart. Although this was ethical, she didn't care.

After rubbing Yan'er's little head, Li Meng turned to look at Sister You behind him and said with a smile: "Sister You, what, you also want me to carry you to the seat?"

Your face turned red and you rolled your eyes at Li Meng.

She looked around and sat down on the nearest seat.

Arriving next to Sister You, Li Meng pressed on the handguard. Amidst the slight sound of mechanical operation, the seat belt came out of the seat on its own and fixed You Lan's body.

After doing all this, under the gaze of You Lan's beautiful eyes, Li Meng turned around and came to the captain's chair and sat down on the captain's chair.

There were not only three people on the bridge, 666 also followed the three people aboard the scientific research ship.

Seeing Li Meng and the others taking their seats, 666 also found a seat at the back and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the blue light on the console in front of Li Meng suddenly flashed, and a holographic image appeared.

It's the Earth, the virtual Earth, a navigation map.

At the same time, a slightly mechanical voice sounded from the bridge.

"I am the ship-based AI of the "Explorer One" scientific research ship. You can call me "No. 1". Commander, you are welcome to come. Please give me your instructions."

With a faint smile, Li Meng said: "No. 1, take us to the earth's orbit for a tour."

Number 1: "Received, the departure request has been sent, please wait."

As the voice of No. 1 fell, various consoles flashed with various indicator lights and started up one after another.

After a while, the entire bridge looked more sci-fi.

"Get permission to leave the port and go to the ground..."

At this moment, the three people on the bridge could feel the scientific research ship rising.

Because the outside is visible, 360 degrees with no blind spots, they are moving away from the metal ground.

Outside, the slipway is moving up, the deck above is slowly opening, and the sound of mechanical operation echoes in the huge underground metal space.

After about a minute, Li Meng finally saw the ground outside, and even saw the "Avenger" class frigates standing on the slipway not far away.

The ship's hull shook slightly, and the slipway lowered to the ground.

"Engine started, ignition in progress, ignition successful, countdown to takeoff, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, takeoff..."

Outside, as the voice of No. 1 fell, the buzzing engine roar sounded loudly. Blue-white flames emerged from the four main engine thruster nozzles at the stern of the scientific research ship, and the six lift engines in the belly roared even more. Howling, it spurted out long blue-white flames.

The powerful thrust caused air waves to roll in the belly of the scientific research ship. The scientific research ship shook slightly. In the rolling air waves, the hundred-meter-long scientific research ship slowly rose into the sky.

This was an extremely shocking scene. A large iron block just lifted into the air.

In the bridge, the expressions on the faces of You Lan and her daughter were only novelty, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

Outside, when it rose to a height of tens of meters, the main thrust engine at the rear of the scientific research ship spurted out a long blue-white flame. Under the powerful thrust, the scientific research ship in the sky slowly flew forward, getting faster and faster. , the bow of the ship is slightly tilted, rising straight into the sky.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, five hundred meters, eight hundred meters...

When the altitude rose to one thousand meters, the scientific research ship had left the Xiping Lake Basin and entered the mountains in the north.

It was about to reach the extreme temperature layer. At this time, the scientific research ship's posture was with its bow pointing upward, at an angle of nearly 80 degrees, almost vertical.

Outside, the scientific research ship soaring into the sky suddenly exploded. The main nozzle at the tail spurted out a long blue-white flame, and billowing white smoke erupted. Its length exceeded the length of the ship's hull.

The speed of the scientific research ship suddenly accelerated, getting faster and faster, and the roar of the engine resounded throughout the world.

In just a few seconds, the scientific research ship plunged into the extreme temperature layer and disappeared without a trace.

More than ten seconds later, above the clouds, the originally peaceful sky was broken by a rumbling roar.

At that moment, the clouds were disturbed, and with a rumbling roar, the huge scientific research ship rushed out from the extreme temperature layer, like a sharp arrow shooting straight into the sky. At such a fast speed, the clouds and mist were pulled and formed above the clouds. A cloud mountain.

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, the scientific research ship shot straight into the dark sky with a long wake.

In the bridge, everything was shaking violently.

Outside, the sky was no longer visible, it was black, getting darker and darker.

"elder brother!"

The violent vibration made Li Yan very nervous and she couldn't help shouting.

However, at this moment, just as Li Yan finished her words, the vibration disappeared, everything in front of her seemed to be still, and a strong feeling of weightlessness followed.

After removing his seat belt, Li Meng lightly kicked on the ground and floated towards Yan'er.

"elder brother?"

Seeing her brother floating over, Li Yan's eyes widened, with only disbelief in her eyes.

Coming to Yan'er's side, Li Meng laughed and unfastened Yan'er's seat belt.

As the seat belt was unfastened, Yan'er's small body floated up.

"Brother, brother..."

The strong sense of weightlessness made Li Yan panic. She couldn't control her body and waved her claws.

Grabbing Yan'er's hand, Li Meng pulled her into his arms.

Li Yan seemed to have found a life-saving straw and hugged Li Meng tightly.

With a slight smile, Li Meng patted Yan'er on the back and said, "Don't panic, we have left the earth and are in the earth's orbit. We are free from the constraints of the planet's gravity. This is a vacuum. Without gravity, the body will float. This is very interesting. Don't be afraid, try it."

Compared with the panicked Li Yan, You Lan was much calmer.

She unfastened her seat belt and floated around in the bridge, having a lot of fun.

Seeing Li Meng looking at her, You Lan blushed, turned her head away, and pretended not to see it.

Meng'er is here, let Meng'er cheer her daughter up.

With Li Meng's encouragement, Li Yan mustered up the courage to let go of her hand.

Li Meng gently pushed Yan'er with his hand on her waist, and Yan'er floated out lightly.

At first, Li Yan was a little scared, but when she got used to the zero-gravity environment, she immediately became interested and had a lot of fun like her mother.
