Chapter 516 Mount Olympus Appears!

Hours turned into minutes, minutes turned into seconds, and seconds flew by in the blink of an eye, and ten months passed in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen led the core R&D team of Dragon Kingdom to overcome every problem on the Mount Olympus.

At first, the R&D team didn't believe that they could build the Olympus in a short period of time. However, when they got started, they discovered that if anything happened, they could just ask Academician Jiang.

Can't the power system on the Zhurong be directly used on the Olympus?

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen came up with a power system plan, including a multi-port rear-mounted engine array, a super-large vertical take-off and landing thruster, and an upgraded version of the Drop reactor.

Don’t know how to do it?

Jiang Chen spends time in the laboratory teaching every day!

Because Jiang Chen only gave one year for the entire project, plus the preliminary theoretical study, he basically spent the rest of the time circulating among various project teams.

Now in the laboratory led by Jiang Chen, actual operations are carried out by robots or robotic arms. People only need to control them. With the assistance of MOSS and robots, the entire research and development progress is like riding a rocket, many times faster. .

When the Olympus Mons successfully conducted its third ship-wide test on the moon, all the researchers couldn't help but cheer.

Jiang Chen looked at the huge Olympus in front of him, and he also exhaled in his helmet.

Although the Mount Olympus looks like an upgraded version of the Zhurong, the development difficulty is not low at all. If it weren't for the research and development foundation of the Zhurong, Jiang Chen feels that the development time could be extended by another half a year.

Seeing the excitement of the R&D staff, Jiang Chen decided to give them another surprise!

"For nearly a year, we were stuck in the laboratory without being able to return home. This experience was full of challenges, and it also taught us that as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do!"

The researchers wearing lunar suits looked at him excitedly.

"Currently, the Olympus Mount has successfully completed the entire ship test, and all of this is inseparable from everyone's efforts!"

"To thank everyone for their efforts, I will apply for the Collective Technology Invention Award for everyone!"

The Technology Invention Award is a national award. It used to be awarded once a year, but ten years ago, it was changed to once every six years.

The evaluation criteria for the Technology Invention Award are strict, and it is the lifelong pursuit and dream of scientific researchers. Now when they suddenly heard Jiang Chen mentioned that he wanted to apply for the Collective Technology Invention Award for them, they all jumped on the moon.

Everyone watching the test process at the space center also had tears in their eyes. Wang Zexiong, director of the center, even sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhurong would be upgraded in such a short period of time!"

"There are many things you haven't thought of. Is Academician Jiang's speed fake?" Team leader Fang looked at the lunar footage sent back through the space stereo camera with joy on his face.

"Team Leader Fang, Director Wang, now that the test flight of Olympus Mons has been completed, I want Olympus Mons to go to Mars so that everyone on Mars can see Olympus Mons for the first time. Number!"

With a smile on his face, Team Leader Fang said, "We still need to pay attention to safety. Have all the carrier-based aircraft on the Mount Olympus returned to the hangar?"

"They are all in the hangar. Don't worry, if there is any problem, I will return on the carrier-based aircraft."

Team leader Fang was at a loss for words. Jiang Chen's words made him even more frightened!

"Have the Space Patrol guys come with you!"

Jiang Chen, who couldn't defeat Team Leader Fang, could only ask Yan Zhengqian to send him a few people from the space patrol team to go to Mars with him.

After Yan Zhengqian received the news, he quickly rushed over with his people. As soon as he arrived on the moon, he saw the towering Olympus Mons!

"I go to Academician Jiang, how tall is this thing!"

"The height is 151 meters. Compared with it, the Zhurong is about half smaller."

Among the people brought by Yan Zhengqian was Natalie. She looked at the Olympus in front of her in disbelief and murmured to herself: "We Da Mao will never be able to build this thing."

The other patrol members all said at once: "If Da Mao can't make it, we can't do it!"

"It has to be Academician Jiang! How can ordinary people have this opportunity?"

"Except for other things, I can't find anyone else who can manufacture a ship body of this level except Dragon Kingdom! No matter whether it's technology or craftsmanship, who can make it!"

"Oh my God! Even though I have been on the Luan Bird for almost two years, I still feel so insignificant when I see the Olympus!"

"Will Olympus Mons be put into service in the future? Can our Space Patrol use it?"

Yan Zhengqian felt itchy when he heard that his team members wanted to change their equipment now.

Anyone who is not moved by the sight of Olympus Mons is lying. Yan Zhengqian also wants to fly Olympus Mons in space, but this idea is obviously not particularly suitable now.

Can the newly developed equipment be used in their team?

This may sound impossible.

"The Olympus Mons has just completed the test. Don't worry, everyone. Commander Yan will inform everyone of the follow-up installation news."

"Lao Yan, let's go to Mars quickly, Director Guo is still waiting up there!"

As soon as Jiang Chen reminded him, Yan Zhengqian also instantly remembered what he wanted to do.

After the group boarded the Olympus in the White Emperor, they came to the command cabin. The first thing they saw was an entire curved glass wall. Through it, the universe and stars were presented as if they were real scenes, as if they were within reach. and!

The console is lined with a series of touch screens and virtual control interfaces suspended in the air, which display various complex data and charts with dazzling three-dimensional effects.

Jiang Chen walked over and sat on the commander's chair. His hand lightly touched the virtual control interface on the console, and a series of screens flashing with data immediately appeared.

These screens display various parameters of the spacecraft, from engine status to energy supply, at a glance, and issue the order to set sail.

He gently slid his fingers to control the engine start sequence of the spacecraft. At the same time, the seat automatically adjusted its position according to his presets, allowing him to better control the operation of the entire spacecraft!

"Moss, get ready to go."

[2 sets of multi-port rear engine arrays have been turned on! 】

[8 sets of thrusters for vertical takeoff and landing have been turned on! 】

[Drop reactor has been started! 】

As the systems were activated one by one, Olympus began to tremble, and the huge body gradually broke away from the gravitational constraints of the moon and suspended in space.

Jiang Chen's finger slid on the virtual control interface and entered the coordinates of Mars!

"Every system is in normal condition and everything is ready! We are going to Mars immediately!" Jiang Chen's voice revealed deep pride.
