After a period of frantic scrolling, the massive amount of comments gradually subsided, and only then did everyone see the scene from the perspectives of these multiple camera angles.
From the perspective of the camera positions, it seems that this place is in a harbor, and most of the sea scenery can be seen in the shots of half of the camera positions.
Several cameras have been used and the opening ceremony venue has been shown multiple times, but everyone still feels that something is wrong, that something is missing.
"Hey, do you guys remember that day was the launch of that anti-gravity, propulsion-free spacecraft?"
A comment flashed by, shattering the illusion that had been hanging over everyone's minds.
"Yeah, where's the Rockets?"
"No, no, there are no rockets, so where are the spacecraft?"
"Yes, yes, where's the spacecraft?"
"Underwater? That's impossible."
"Still hiding at this hour?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I'm so anxious because there are no spacecraft to see me!"
Indeed, we've watched this footage for a while now, and it has everything, but the main character of this live stream is nowhere to be seen.
Actually, Moon-Chasing Island appeared in every shot, but no one thought it was something from heaven. Everyone assumed it was just a small island that was originally located by the sea. No one would have imagined that it would be the main character this time.
Unfortunately, although the viewers watching the live stream were very anxious, no one came to explain things to them, and some inappropriate comments started to appear.
"I knew there couldn't be such a thing; it's just empty promises."
" Eagle Country doesn't have it, how could Divine Land possibly have it? Impossible."
"Go wash up and go to bed, that's all."
Just as the chat was in an uproar, the main venue of the live stream opened, and the perspective shifted to a conference room. A well-known host sat on one side, while on the other side were several researchers who looked extremely knowledgeable.
Dressed in a white research suit, with a head of gray hair, he looked like a seasoned aerospace expert.
"Welcome everyone to take time out of your busy schedules to watch our live broadcast of the Moon-Chasing Strike launch. I am the host from the live broadcast director."
"This launch is different from any launch site we've seen before. As you can see, we are currently at a port, not any of the existing launch sites. This is because this launch will not have rocket boosters; it will utilize entirely new launch technology."
"Let's have our expert give us a brief introduction."
The camera panned to the experts sitting to the side. To be honest, these experts were also put in a rather awkward position. After all, launching this thing was Li Xingkong's responsibility, and they weren't involved in much of the process. At most, they designed the entire Moon-Chasing Island. But in such a formal setting, they couldn't be without any technical personnel, so they had to fill in.
"This launch mission is completely different from previous rocket launches. First, the launch method is different. Previously, we relied on carrier rockets for launches, but this time, we are using a propulsion-free launch method. The current difficulty in rocket launches is the high fuel consumption. To send one ton of supplies into space, it takes tens of tons of fuel to burn. This process is very resource-intensive, and the propulsion-free method has an absolute advantage in this regard."
"Hello expert, we've been talking about propulsion-free systems for so long, but what exactly is a propulsion-free system? Could you explain it to us in detail?"
"Simply put, a non-propellant method means that it does not use traditional rockets as a propulsion aid, but uses an anti-gravity method for propulsion. As we all know, in order to fly out of the terrain, the acceleration must reach the first cosmic velocity. Why the first cosmic velocity? Because only after reaching this speed is there any hope of escaping Earth Star's gravity and flying into space."
"By using anti-gravity, the terrain's gravity, which is the greatest resistance to leaving Earth Star, disappears. At this point, as long as there is an upward acceleration, even just 1 meter per second, it is possible to fly out of Earth Star."
The experts' explanations sounded very reasonable and even plausible, but is that what people are really concerned about?
What everyone is concerned about is where this anti-gravity thing came from, and how it suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"I've seen many people in the live chat asking how we got our anti-gravity technology. Did we discover some ancient ruins on the moon, or was it a gift from aliens?"
The host kept a close eye on the live stream, and seeing everyone asking the same question, she brought it up herself.
"To answer this, I'll borrow a line from a science fiction game: 'A remote village shared with you the theory and complete practical techniques of anti-gravity technology.'"
The expert didn't say it directly, but instead borrowed a popular meme from Civilization VI.
As for where this village is? It's already under construction; you'll see it once you're on the moon.
The response to this answer was incredibly exciting. Normally, people would treat this as a joke, since no village could possibly have developed technology that surpasses the combined technological capabilities of a modern society.
This claim might have been plausible before the development of modern society, but in today's globalized world, where can you find such a mysterious village?
But experts can't joke around in this kind of setting; it's a live broadcast for both domestic and international audiences, a very serious occasion.
After eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining statement, no matter how outlandish it may seem, can only be true.
"Damn it, let's quickly go to the surrounding rural areas and look for nuclear-powered armor technology!"
"I can vouch for it; it was shared by our village. I dug it out of the ground that day."
"Yes, yes, the technology department gave me 500 yuan and a banner."
Suddenly, all sorts of strange dialects appeared in the bullet comments, from all over the South China Sea, and all kinds of funny people began to dominate the bullet comments.
"By the way, our live stream has been going on for a while now. Everyone's eager to see the star of this mission. I wonder when our star will appear on camera?"
The host only came on short notice these past few days, and she didn't know what was going to be sent into space either. But with the launch so close, this shouldn't be considered a secret anymore.
"Well, actually the main character has been in our view the whole time, but since everyone's asked, I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll see for yourselves when it launches."
These experts were genuinely surprised that after half a day of live streaming, no one could figure out what was going to be launched into space. But that makes sense; when they were designing it, they hadn't associated this thing with a spacecraft at all. If they hadn't been involved in the design and brought it to the base, they wouldn't have recognized it either.
