Chapter 856: Edge of Space
Above the sky, 40,000 meters in the air.
Finch looked at the thermometer in the small capsule, and it showed that the outside temperature was now minus 60 degrees. Another glance at the altimeter showed that the altitude had gone to 40,100 meters.
Looking out of the glass window of the space capsule, the Earth has become a large round blue ball, and the arc can be seen, which is very different from the scene seen in a normal airplane.
Here, it's already on the edge of space!
"Lena, we've reached the predetermined height."
"Doctor, the Sea Giant that Long Yun is riding has arrived at the predetermined sea area, and the jellyfish base has also appeared. They seemed to be talking, and had been talking for ten minutes. ā
"Okay, when they start diving, we'll start skydiving."
"Doctor, if you open the parachute at an altitude of 8,000 meters, it will take 15 minutes to land, and the whole process of diving will only take 10-12 minutes, so there is a time difference of three minutes, and you must choose an extremely risky jump." Lena said.
"Risky jumping?" Finch was stunned, "How do you take the risk?" ā
"To land in about 10 minutes, you have to take a low parachute." "Then you're going to be accelerating until you break through the speed of sound, and then you're going to parachute at an altitude of 1,500 meters," Lena said. ā
"1500 meters?" Finch was slightly worried, "If the speed breaks through the factor, is that enough time to buffer?" ā
"I've calculated, and it's okay." "You have to know when to open your umbrella," said Lena, "because if you dive too early, the jellyfish will fall into the sea before you can reach it, and if you are too late, you will fall into a broken bone because of the speed you are too fast......."
"Okay, let's try to get it under control."
"Doctor, you can open the hatch, Long Yun and their ship have lowered the gangway and are crossing the jellyfish base." Lena said, "Everyone, get ready, the show is about to begin." ā
Everyone got up one after another and checked each other's equipment, which was to ensure that nothing went wrong, otherwise as long as there was a little leakage in the spacesuit, low temperature, low pressure and other factors would immediately kill them.
"Lena, where have the people of the four families gone?" Finch asked.
"They disguised themselves as a convoy of transport merchants, and they were approaching that area, and they were still within the sea of jellyfish."
"You immediately contact President Habs, ask them not to go into the defense range of the jellyfish first, we will send them back information when we get inside, if something happens to us, let them stop getting closer, and directly let the aircraft carrier battle group launch a long-range fire strike, and not let Atlantis surface!"
"Okay, but I just contacted President Habs Sr., and the people of the four families don't seem to believe in the capabilities of the jellyfish base, they think we overestimate Haines." Lena said.
"I'm afraid it's Andrei's old guy again! Sooner or later, his stinky temper will kill him! Finch said: "The jellyfish was designed by Master Mailer, and after so many years of modification in Nazi Germany and many years of operation by Haines, it must not be underestimated." ā
"I'll do my best!" Lena said, "Doctor, you can skydive, I saw Long Yun and Haines go inside the jellyfish, and this thing seems to be diving." ā
"Guys, we're going to jump, I'm an old man who hasn't been out in the field for many years, and I'm glad to partner with you!" After Vinci finished speaking, he was the first to walk to the hatch and looked out, the huge earth hung in front of him like a big toy, and the blue and black arcs could be seen in the distant sky, where was the edge of the atmosphere, and out of there, it was the real space.
"Everyone remembers, if you open the parachute again at 1500 meters, you can't be late or early, otherwise you will either fail or die!" Finch stepped forward, and the man swooped out of the capsule, quickly turning into a tiny dot in the sky.
The second is Falcon, this guy parachuted at such a high altitude for the first time, and when he walked to the hatch, he found that it was completely different from looking outside in the cabin, and he couldn't see anything on the ground at all, only the sea and the land, blue and yellow, and green......
"Holy! So high......" He felt his calves tremble and couldn't move at all.
"Jump!" Gege is in a hurry behind him, and time waits for no one.
The sailor stepped forward and kicked directly on Falcon's ass, and the guy screamed and disappeared outside the cabin.
Gege jumped down from behind the falcon, and flew into the earth in free fall, jumping out of the capsule, everything seemed to be strangely quiet, there was no sound around, it seemed to be a land of death, even the birds could not see it.
If it weren't for the falling and reminding myself all the time, maybe I would soon fall asleep in this strange silence.
"Pay attention to the speed of the fall and the changes in various parameters, especially the height!" Finch's voice came through the headphones, and he finally got a little angry in the dead silence.
Gege raised his wrist to look at the PAD on his wrist, which showed that the temperature was minus 61 degrees Celsius, the height was 39,800 meters, and he had fallen nearly three hundred meters away, and the speed of the fall was increasing. It is especially important to be careful at such times, as the slightest mistake can lead to death. Although Gege is the only one among so many people who is not afraid of low temperatures, as long as there is a slight crack in the spacesuit on his body, the pressurized suit inside will fail, and in such a low pressure situation, the blood will immediately boil like boiling water, which can also kill Gege.
She hurriedly hugged the skydiving gear tightly and curled her legs so that her posture would not allow her body to roll too much, which would cause huge acceleration, and it was easy to lack blood supply to her brain at such high speeds, resulting in fainting.
Three minutes later, a strange sound sounded in Gege's ears, and she could even see some white mist-like objects around her body.
Glancing at the PAD, it shows a staggering set of data. 1321 km/h, that's your current falling speed! She immediately understood that in the stratosphere of 11000-20000m, the standard value of the speed of sound is 1062km/h, and her falling speed has exceeded the speed of sound! That strange white fog is a disturbance caused when the sound barrier is breached!
The body was under tremendous pressure, the ground began to grow gradually, and the blue Indian Ocean was like a huge mirror, crashing towards itself!
"Doctor!" Lena's voice suddenly came from the headphones at this time, "Something is wrong!" ā
State!? Now everyone's worst fear is to hear this word.
The same thought sounded in everyone's hearts at the same time!
