A Rocket? Are You Sure That's Not a Two-Stage Firecracker?

Actually, even though Yi Xuan is currently working enthusiastically on rocket development, even if the rocket were built right now, there would still be a lot of preparation work needed to launch it. At the very least, Yi Xuan would need to conduct preliminary surveys to obtain some basic data.

For example, the gravitational acceleration in the Cultivation Realm, the radius of planets in the Cultivation Realm, the thickness of the atmosphere surrounding the planet, and the atmospheric pressure, etc.

Of course, these are just the most basic things; the preparations for a rocket launch cannot be completed by one person alone.

Fortunately, Yi Xuan was not alone; he had an entire mechanical army behind him.

Under Yi Xuan's orders, the entire No. 1 Base was mobilized, and the portable research center inside the Artifact Sect Ring was also busy.

After completing the development of the latest quantum communication module, the No. 01 research center began full-scale production of the module, preparing for the signal upgrades at No. 1 No. 2 Base, as well as in the Xia Kingdom.

Meanwhile, various machines at No. 1 Base, under the control of No. 01, began collecting and processing the necessary data for the rocket launch. At the same time, instruments used to test certain data were also being worked overtime at No. 1 Base.

In the main control room, Yi Xuan was actually the most relaxed person in the entire base, selecting suitable rockets from among many while sipping freshly brewed tea.

"Ugh, it's decision-making inconvenience again!"

Somewhat dazzled, Yi Xuan slumped into the chair behind him.

The rockets that were showcased by No. 01 were all top-notch in terms of performance; they were all trump cards in the hands of several major spacefaring nations in the past, including the Soyuz and Progress of Russian Bear Country, the Saturn No. 5 and the Hercules series of the Beautiful Country.

Then there's the Long March series from the Rabbit Country in the past, and the Falcon series from Boss Ma the Beautiful Country.

Originally, No. 01 had mischievously placed a few rockets from Asan Country, but Yi Xuan immediately sent them to the recycling center and shredded them.

You can believe that Indian motorcycles are invincible, but let's forget about their ability to fly.

Even if Yi Xuan consumes a lot of Brain Platinum), he would never joke about his scientific research career.

In fact, Yi Xuan's preference was for the Long March series rockets from his previous life in Rabbit Country. After all, he had watched this series of rockets gradually rise to the world's top ranks since he was a child, and what passionate young man doesn't have a patriotic fervor?

The thought of the Long March series rockets soaring into the Cultivation Realm makes Yi Xuan incredibly excited.

On the other hand, research trips aren't just about passion. From a practical standpoint, Boss Ma's Falcon rocket isn't inferior in performance. The key difference is that it's reusable, so why not save costs?

Ultimately, Yi Xuan's choice proved that he was first and foremost a passionate young man, and only secondly a researcher.

The final plan was successfully finalized as the Long March series rockets. As for the unsuccessful Falcon rocket, Yi Xuan only decided to temporarily abandon it. His thinking was that, after all, it was the first rocket launch, and the situation outside was unknown. Recovery? Recovery my foot! Do you think I'm short of that kind of money?

Although rocket design relies heavily on the planet's basic data, the mechanical army sent out for testing from No. 1 Base cannot obtain results in just one or two days.

So Yi Xuan decided to start designing first, and then make adjustments based on the data once it was available, so as not to delay the rocket's progress too much.

Yi Xuan didn't actually have the design data for the Long March rockets, or rather, he didn't have any of the design data for the rockets he had just shown on the holographic projection.

Those models were merely generated in Yi Xuan's mind based on his memories from his previous life, and were later entered into the database via the Jade Slip hard drive.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. In his previous life, the design data for these rockets would have been top-secret, regardless of the country. How could Yi Xuan have possibly obtained it?

Fortunately, he had the Book of Technology, which transmitted all the rocket knowledge into the database. Naturally, No. 01 would design and adjust the rocket's internal structure based on the Long March rocket's shape and Yi Xuan's needs.

An hour later, the rocket design, which had been optimized more than a dozen times by No. 01, was finally presented to Yi Xuan.

Looking at the familiar rocket shape in front of him, Yi Xuan even had an urge to salute, but also felt a little strange.

So when No. 01 displayed the dimensions of the rocket in front of him, Yi Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he understood why he felt something was wrong.

"No. 01, come out here and explain to me why your rocket design is so different from the original? Is this some kind of middle school art class project?"

It's no wonder Yi Xuan was angry. Anyone who saw a rocket that was three meters tall would not believe that such a piece of junk could actually fly into outer space.

They might even jokingly say, "Wow! That's a pretty big firecracker!"

Yi Xuan felt this way right now; this thing didn't look like a rocket at all, it was more like a firecracker magnified many times over.

"Boss, after my design and iterations, what you see now is the optimal solution!"

"Optimal? You've optimized a rocket that was originally over 20 meters long to 3 meters! You have to give me a reasonable explanation today!"

No. 01 did not speak, but instead controlled the holographic projection to break down the rocket model into different modules, and marked and explained the performance of each module on the projection.

After reading what was on the screen, Yi Xuan was speechless.

It turns out that the rocket designed by No. 01 completely abandoned the fuel used in rockets of the previous life from the very beginning, and instead directly used the energy unique to this world - Spirit Stone.

Even the rocket engine was modified by No. 01 to be powered by Spirit Stone, which is why the Long March Rocket that Yi Xuan saw turned into a short, stout gourd.

Since modern rockets no longer need their enormous size to store fuel, No. 01 directly equipped the rocket with a High-Grade Spirit Stone.

However, Yi Xuan had not yet figured out the situation in this world. No. 01 also considered the possibility that the Spirit Stone might be suppressed like cultivators after reaching high altitudes, so a chemical fuel chamber was also set up in the rocket in case of emergency.

Otherwise, if only Spirit Stone were used, the rocket might be even smaller.

Although Yi Xuan wasn't entirely satisfied with the size of the rocket in front of him, the various data displayed by No. 01 had already explained everything.

This rocket is absolutely fine. As long as there is enough launch data, theoretically it can send Yi Xuan's quantum communication satellite into space, provided that space actually exists.

If the planet's exterior is filled with the same kind of corrosive gas that previously corroded experts Tribulation Transcendence, Yi Xuan has no idea whether his technological products can withstand it!
