BXBX NOVEL Chapter 429 - Rapids.
Yang Dao wrapped things at the launch station and then he was targeted by the press. They all wanted to ask him a lot of questions regarding the flight. He did not shy away from the people and welcomed the questions.
Reporter 1: "Sir, how would you describe this flight in one word?"
Yang Dao: "Wonderful."
Reporter 2: "Sir, what future goals do you have for the future?"
Yang Dao: "Build a station in space."
His announcement shocked the world. The people did not have any idea what a space station was or what it took to build one. However, Yang Dao was sure about what he needed to do and how he would do it. After the conference finished a lot many space researchers were invited on the TV channels and debates and seminars were held. The world space organizations all tried to reach Yang Dao and the company.
However, they were turned away. Yang Dao had no idea of collaborating with any hypocritic organization. RALF was responsible for rendering the design of the space station and also the. RALF was the most advanced AI on the planet but when commanded to render something that had no reference points, the system slowed down.
It took the system a complete one week to come up with a plausible design plan. Yang Dao had called up their ally in the field, Bay-Mach engineering for the fabrication solutions they needed. The opposite party was not surprised but already prepared to receive him. Yang Dao was baffled by their readiness.
The engineering head of the company, Terrence Bay told him that he prepares solutions for every project that he finds interesting in his free time. He found the space station interesting so he found a lot of ideas that could solve the potential problems. However, when Yang Dao showed him the design blueprints. Terrence Bay was almost scared of an existential crisis.
He did not expect such an extensive design to be taken out by this teenager. He took up the task and they began to fabricate.
The pace of the growth was not slow. In three months, while Yang Dao broke through the peak of the fourth level of the water element. The company had deployed Fluid fifteen times in the space to carry parts. RALF both were used to complete the task. The process was extensive but they achieved the tasks impeccably.
Nobody in the world had ever thought that there would be a day when a few people from the masses will be able to live in space. They had no idea of what was going or if things were real. At the beginning of the fourth month, the company declared its intention to reach the moon.
The flight pattern was disclosed to the world, the people will be going out of the atmosphere, dock with the space station and from there they will take a Fluid Aircraft to go to the moon. This seemed to be easy but that was only in the theory.
In the previous months, the company had already used a drone to deploy supplies on the moon, and now the people would just have to go there and explore the moon. Yang Dao was personally a part of this mission and along with him, Major Lin, and a few scientists were selected by the government.
Feng Yun had established a cooperative institution with the government for future ease of access. They did not want to be tagged as space hoarders by the rest of the world. At this moment Yang Dao was sitting in a flight that was heading to the space station.
The design of the Fluid aircraft has changed into various convenient models. This one was a multi-passenger vehicle. They also had a freighter design that was used to carry the space station parts to the space. Yang Dao sat in the back with the rest of the people and let the RALF bot control the flight.
The identity of the robot has been disclosed to the people but they were told that it was not a smart AI but a normal robot that could reduce human error in flights. The world had no comment and neither did the rest of the passengers.
The aircraft docked with the space station and the after the airlock was secured, the crew of six people got out of the aircraft. Yang Dao was in the lead. They all wore blue-white space suits. Before this flight, they had been going through strict training for 3 months.
Yang Dao did not say much but he moved through the space station ducts. The astronauts were excited about being able to step inside the space station. As they explored the things inside, their images were being displayed to the world. The astronauts were chosen from all over the globe, and thus the whole world was rejoicing in their victory.
The astronaut crew consisted of a physicist, an engineer, a physician, a botanist, a geologist, a soldier, and a crew captain. The crew captain was to manage the logs and make decisions. Yang Dao was capable of all that.
He also explored the Space station. It was an extreme structure, powered by solar batteries. The solar panels were arranged in such a manner that they looked like a dragonfly to the people. After resting and sleeping in the space station for a night the people woke up and began the second phase of their journey.
Yang Dao sat in the pilot seat with the rest of the people sitting behind him in two rows. After he was done with the final check of the aircraft he pressed a button and established communication with the command center back at Liro.
He said, "Command, his is Fluid-three. We are commencing the second phase of the mission. Acknowledge."
After a lag of a few seconds he received a message, "The Command acknowledges, go ahead Fluid three."
Yang Dao looked over his shoulders as he showed a thumbs up to everyone and pushed the detachment switch as he said, "Fire the engines."
