Chapter 262 – Mars Colonization Plan!

The ocean was both profound and majestic.

At the Pacific Ocean’s equator, thousands of tonnes of seawater was being dragged around by tidal forces. While the ocean appeared calm, but it was, in fact, fiercely flowing and driving the Earth Spray’s hydroelectric power generator.

Any fish that recklessly approached the Earth Spray would be turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, inside the main pipeline, large amounts of sodium chloride solution were currently being mixed with calcium chloride and undergoing electrolysis under high temperature and pressure to produce metallic sodium. Subsequently, the metallic sodium reacts with water to produce hydrogen fuel, which was then transferred into the upper and lower rows of linear engine units. And upon receiving fuel, the engines fired up and started generating intense vibrations…

“Hold the handles firmly, stabilize your center of gravity, and don’t fall,” Chen Yu sternly warned everyone as he grabbed onto the impromptu handrails the Russians welded onto the space capsule’s inner walls. “If the spray’s impact gets too strong, you can ask me for help. Understand?”

“Understood.”

“OK.”

“No problem…”

As the seconds passed, the space capsule’s vibrations grew increasingly intense. Soon, the world in front of everyone started shaking, and anxiety filled the capsule.

Rumble…

Rumble… Rumble…

Looking through the window, Chen Yu could see violent waves forming nearby. It looked as if a typhoon was raging in the area. He found it truly hard to imagine what kind of terrifying energy was currently being accumulated inside the Earth Spray.

“It’s coming!” Chen Yu abruptly shouted when he sensed his feet going numb from the intense vibrations. “Hold tight!”

Everyone inside the capsule sharpened their spirits and tightened their grips on the handrails.

The next moment…

Boom!

A deafening thunder came from under everyone’s feet!

Everyone momentarily felt the world around them spinning. Immediately afterward, everyone’s chests grew stuffy as the gravitational acceleration acting on them increased. Simultaneously, the scenery outside the window also became blurred and distorted under the waves of water.

Unlike the people inside the capsule, though, the livestream’s 25 million viewers got to witness a much spectacular scene.

At this time, a three-meter-diameter water column carrying incredible potential energy was pushing the Andromeda space capsule upward. And during the spraying process, the water column continuously added more force to the capsule, causing the latter to ascend at an increasingly greater speed.

If one looked from afar, it would look as if the water column was paving a road that extended indefinitely to the end of the world…

[Crap!]

[Too awesome…]

[This is only the prelude. Once the capsule flies to a height of several dozen kilometers, the spray would become even more powerful to further push the capsule.]

[I suddenly have a bold idea!]

[Is there really no cost to go into space?]

[Perpetual motion machines cannot exist. Once the sodium chloride in the ocean is diluted to a certain extent, this fountain method will become useless.]

[We can’t burn oil for 10,000 years either. I’m sure humanity will find a new substitute before we exhaust the sodium chloride in the ocean.]

Just as some of the commenters had expected, as the water column reached increasingly greater heights, to ensure the space capsule had sufficient acceleration, the “cannon”‘s strength also grew greater.

At this time, the two helicopters hovering nearby had no choice but to quickly retreat to prevent themselves from getting damaged by the horrific sonic booms!

In addition, due to the intense vibrations, the materials Chen Yu used to seal the Earth Spray’s chlorine gas outlet also crumbled into pieces and got washed away by the surging tides.

Fortunately, the initial decomposition stage was already over, and the highly toxic chlorine gas was no longer being generated.

“The acceleration has stabilized. Everyone, you can relax now.”

Relaxing his grip on the handrails, Chen Yu scanned everyone in the capsule and said, “It seems everyone is fine. Sit down, then. At our current speed, it will still take some time to reach low Earth orbit.”

Hearing Chen Yu’s instructions, the participants sat down and curiously leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside. Unfortunately, the capsule’s exterior was enveloped by raging torrents of water, so they couldn’t see anything.

“How magical…”

Musk reached out and touched the glass window. As he felt the vibration coming from the outside, his mind thought about the practicality of the Earth Spray.

On a large scale, Earth severely lacked in many types of resources.

However, the planet was incredibly rich in oceanic resources!

Meanwhile, with this Earth Spray launcher, the cost of space operations could basically be reduced to zero!

In that case, it wouldn’t be too difficult to set up an ultra-large space station that integrated scientific research, observation, housing, tourism, and commerce. They could simply send the necessary materials up into space piece by piece and assemble them in space.

And using this space station as a base, occupying the moon, colonizing Mars, landing on outer planets, etc., would also come naturally.

Although these feats could similarly be achieved with the help of Transdimensional’s UP’s Interstellar Portal, that person was basically their “ancestor.” None of the world’s various governments dared to make troublesome requests of him.

Space development had been sluggish in the past few decades due to its high costs and uncertain benefits. And without the help of national-level strength, it was incredibly difficult for the space industry to make any progress.

However, from today onward, costs relating to space equipment, materials, satellites, and energy would no longer exist. All plans pertaining to outer space could be slowly but surely implemented. The explosion of the aerospace industry was just around the corner!

With zero costs to enter space and the promotion of 5G networks, it wouldn’t be long before human society would undergo a dramatic change.

Meanwhile, this was still only a future that did not account for the Transdimensional Academy’s possible scientific and technological achievements.

All of these changes… Turning to look at Chen Yu’s back, Musk thought, They were all brought about by this mysterious person.

He…

What kind of excellent and great man is he?

…

“Friends and viewers in the livestream rooms, I dare say that the scenery outside must be very shocking! According to the information displayed in my helmet, we’ve already reached an altitude of 15,000 meters. A fountain that’s over 10,000 meters in height! It must be a truly incredible sight.”

After saying so, the “excellent and great” man removed his glove and looked at the image displayed on his watch. “Sure enough… This water spray is… Tsk, tsk. Do you guys want to take a look as well?”

Chen Yu then showed his watch to everyone inside the capsule.”

“Yes!”

“Thank you very much!”

“Amazing…”

The ten event participants gathered around Chen Yu and stared at his watch intently. They would also compare the scene they saw with the scene outside the window from time to time.

“Alright.” Five minutes later, Chen Yu retracted his hand. “That’s it for now. Once we reach an altitude of 100,000 meters, the water volume should decrease. Just look out the window at that time.

“Friends in the livestream rooms, according to the instruction manual, once the water column’s energy consumption grows too wasteful, and the resistance and gravity the space capsule is subjected to lessens, the Earth Spray will automatically enter the second ascension stage.

“At that time, a certain amount of metallic sodium will be injected into the water column. The sodium will then combine with the water to produce hydrogen. In turn, the hydrogen will react with the oxygen in the water in a high-speed, high-temperature, and high-pressure environment to generate a series of micro explosions, which would further propel the capsule upward.

“After this stage is completed, the capsule should be lifted to an altitude of at least 100 to 200 kilometers above sea level.”

Pausing slightly, Chen Yu put his glove back on. He then gestured at the camera outside the space capsule and continued, “Reaching this stage will take a very long time. Everyone, you can continue enjoying the high-altitude scenery. You can also go pee and compare the differences between the two water columns. I have something to do for now, so I’ll be turning off the audio first.

“Talk to you later.”

After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the livestream’s audio.

Afterward, he pondered for a moment before turning toward Musk and said, “Friend, I told you about it before, but are you interested in a collaboration?”

“W-What kind of collaboration?”

“Mars Colonization!”
