Chapter 295 Ascension
On September 9, the people of the Heaven Ascending Dao carried the rocket they had rubbed with their hands to the top of the mountain.
It was more like a rocket than a flying monkey.
The mountain was the closest place to the sky, which was not scientific, but reasonable.
Sima Qiudao simply said two sentences: "Thank you all for coming! I am ready to ascend to the sky now!"
Really just two sentences.
He couldn't wait to ascend to the sky.
Life and death were also thrown out of his mind. He only wanted to ascend to the sky and fulfill his long-cherished wish of the Heaven Ascending Dao.
"I wish you a successful ascension!" A group of Taoists congratulated in unison.
Sima Qiudao didn't waste any words. He turned around and came to the black and white rocket that was more than ten meters high and said, "I'm leaving now!"
Shi Feizhe saw him jump to the side of the rocket, then grabbed the pickpocket on one side of the rocket, and then slapped the rocket with a palm.
The rocket was ignited by this palm!
At the tail of the rocket, an orange flame spurted out with a bang, and then the rocket flew up shakily.
It was obvious that the design had a big problem. If it was normal, the rocket would soon fall to the ground and explode.
But the world has its own way!
Sima Qiudao on the rocket kept controlling the balance of the rocket by picking up his hands, and at the same time, he kept transferring his power to the rocket with his palm, so that the rocket would ignite faster!
With a "bang", the rocket flew into the sky like a sky-high monkey!
Li Qingshan, Xiao Daoren, Dongfang Yanyan, and hundreds of Taoists from Dengtiandao couldn't help crying when they saw the rocket flying into the sky.
Over the years, they were worried about the drawings, and then they thought of solutions, and then they failed, and failed countless times, and finally they could make such a thing.
They knew that Sima Qiudao would never come back once he left, and he would take their sect's long-cherished wish of flying into the sky for thousands of years!
"Master, go well! Master, go well!" Li Qingshan said softly, looking at the smoke-filled flames in the sky.
Although the rocket went up to the sky, Sima Qiudao on the rocket felt the pressure.
The direction of the rocket was really too difficult to control, if he hadn't used his true qi to change the direction of the rocket many times. Maybe the rocket has already crashed into the mountain.
Invisible wind appeared beside him, and the hot fire flowed along his palm, igniting the fuel inside the rocket.
The fuel was high-concentration methane they bought from Yangzhou through Sanjin Taoist.
It smelled like wine, so why did people in Yangzhou call it methane? Sima Qiudao didn't know.
However, it works.
Sima Qiudao took out the little thing he asked Dongfang Yanyan to make yesterday. It was a chain with buckles that could be buckled on the armrest of the rocket, and the other end was buckled on his hand.
This allowed him to move up and down the rocket steadily, and then constantly pat the rocket to transfer power and adjust the direction.
Soon, the fuel of the four boosters was burned out, and Sima Qiudao kicked them off several times in a row.
The rocket of Dengtiandao was not automated, and was all manually operated.
After removing the boosters, the weight was much lighter, and the speed of the rocket actually increased.
At this time, it has reached an altitude of 50,000 meters. In the past, the highest altitude reached by the Ascension Path was this high.
Continuing to fly upwards, the air slowly rose, and the tail end of the rocket began to catch fire and even deformed.
Sima Qiudao was not surprised by this situation. He came to the middle of the rocket and kicked away about one-third of the lower half of the rocket.
Now, the second stage of the rocket is officially launched!
At an altitude of 50,000 to 60,000 meters, the rocket flew upward like a sharp arrow. After removing the booster and the first-stage rocket, the weight of the second-stage rocket was greatly reduced, and its speed was faster.
But it also means that it is more difficult to control.
Sima Qiudao grabbed the pickpocket on the rocket, gritted his teeth, and controlled the direction of the rocket. The high temperature in the mesosphere and the strong wind that exceeded several times the speed of sound tore his clothes to pieces.
But the rocket began to slow down.
Because it does not exceed the second cosmic speed, it cannot fly out of the atmosphere, and the higher it goes, the more so.
Sima Qiudao looked at the ground under his feet greedily. Through the white clouds that were unknown how far away, he found that the ground under his feet was like a ball, and the ground also had an arc.
He could only vaguely see a white area, as if he had flown from that place. In other places, he even saw the blue sea.
So the world is like this, and it turns out that he has always lived on a ball.
He looked up and saw that the sky was slowly getting darker. The sun was still very bright, but the sky was very dark. The sun was like a big fireball in the black curtain.
So the sun is like this.
In the black sky, there are still some stars twinkling.
It turns out that the stars also shine during the day!
The world is like this, this is the "sky" that they are striving for in the way of heaven!
Every glance is a real world that subverts his common sense and cognition. In the past, he was like an ant on a ball, and now he can see this world!
It's really worth this life! It's really worth this life!
Sima Qiudao's eyes were filled with tears, and his long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled!
As the rocket flew, Sima Qiudao felt the surrounding temperature slowly dropping, and the oxygen in the air became thinner. At this speed, he estimated that he had flown about 100,000 meters!
He knew that he had entered the thermosphere.
The rocket also slowed down and seemed unable to fly.
Is this the end?
Is this the sky?
No, it's not!
Is 100,000 meters the limit?
No!
The sky in reality completely overturned Sima Qiudao's understanding.
In the sky, those incredible scenes, but they are real, let him break through the heaven-asking barrier, and his cultivation level rose steadily.
He became a barrier-breaking warrior!
If at this time, he chose to turn the rocket around, maybe he could land safely.
Maybe he could still survive!
But Sima Qiudao did not choose this way, because he still wanted to continue flying upwards!
He wanted to go to a higher place to take a look!
He thought of the ancestor of the way to ascend to heaven. The sky is there, why not go and see it?
The rocket can no longer fly, not because the fuel is burned out, but because the speed is too slow and it cannot escape the gravity of the earth.
But what if the barrier-breaking warrior who burns blood and life is added?
That must be possible!
"Fly for me! Fly for me!" Sima Qiudao put his hands on the rocket, and the unparalleled power of the barrier-breaking warrior burst out in the rocket, making the rocket burst out faster.
Mach 3, Mach 5, Mach 10, Mach 20, and even higher!
The rocket broke through the limit, broke through the impossible speed, and broke through the planet's constraints on him!
Breaking through to 15 kilometers, breaking through to 200,000 kilometers, breaking through the atmosphere, and coming to space!
Of course, all this comes at a price!
Fly to the sky!
