Gold and Silver Alchemist - Chapter 123



It has been more than 50 years since Neil Armstrong, the commander of Apollo 11, became the first man to set foot on the moon.

However, the moon was still an area that was difficult for humans to reach.

Let alone the moon, ordinary people do not even have a chance to climb to the altitude of an artificial satellite.

Recently, the ‘private space travel’ business has been opened.

However, even a short space trip that circles the earth at an altitude of about 500 km for several days and returns will cost tens of billions of won per passenger.

Therefore, it was practically impossible for ordinary people to travel in space unless they were conglomerates.

pounding-

My heart raced at the thought of building a spaceship and going to the moon.

I came into the ‘free room’.

You can save time by designing your spacecraft here.

Before starting the design, I asked Kim Seo-yeon.

“Which orbit would be good to go to the moon?”

Apollo 11 took 3 days to get from Earth to the Moon.

However, lunar probes launched these days take tens of days to several months to reach the moon.

It wasn’t because the technology was regressing.

It is because you can save fuel by going to the moon by going around a long distance.

The ‘direct transition trajectory method’, which can reach the moon the fastest, has to speed up extremely fast to escape from Earth’s gravity and then slow down again when it arrives at the moon.

In space where there is no resistance, a huge amount of fuel must be used to slow down.

Therefore, it can reduce fuel consumption by circling the earth several times and gradually increasing the diameter of the orbit, and then settling on the lunar orbit.

And in order to save fuel even more than that, they go to the moon by turning very far to the ‘Lagrange Point’ where the gravity of the earth and the sun is in equilibrium.

It was not simply because fuel was expensive that they were trying to save fuel by wasting time.

Because the fuel itself is also a burden, it was not possible to load enough into the spacecraft.

The long-distance orbit was rather a loss for the manned spacecraft on which the astronauts were riding, because the longer the travel time, the more food and daily necessities had to be loaded.

So, you have to choose the one that fits your situation among the various trajectories.

“I recommend a direct transit orbit that will get you to the moon the fastest!”

I nodded my head at Seoyeon Kim’s answer.

The fuel for my ship was a weightless elixir.

So, you can freely travel in space by repeating acceleration and deceleration as much as you want without worrying about fuel.

Since the spacecraft is complexly affected by the gravitational forces of celestial bodies, it requires complex trajectory calculations, but there is no problem at all as the control will be left to the golems.

So I just build a spacecraft in the style I want and that’s it.

‘Let’s make it fast and cool!’

chuck-

I stretched my arms left and right.

‘Drafting board.’

Chuang-

A white space with nothing was created.

It was a ＜magic drawing board＞ that allows you to design objects you want to make in 3D.

‘Let’s make the hull a disk shape.’

When flying near the surface, ＜invisibility＞ would make the spacecraft invisible to others, but even if it caught the eye of others and was captured in a photo or video, it was safe if it was in the shape of a disk.

You will be treated as a UFO, a common sighting.

In my mind, I drew a large disk on the drawing board.

Then, a spacecraft hull 15 meters in diameter and 4 meters in height appeared in front of me.

‘The material is Orihalcon.’

Glitter-

A rainbow of light emanated from the hull.

The good thing about ＜Magic Drawing Board＞ is that you can see a ‘3D rendering’ that is the same as the real thing, not only in size but also in texture, if you draw the parts and decide on the material.

And once the design is complete, you can virtually test the spacecraft’s performance.

‘I have to put on a rocket engine.’

At the top of the back of the disk, a pair of large ＜magic engineering rocket engines＞ were drawn.

And at the bottom, I drew a rocket engine needed for braking and direction change.

As a result, the overall shape changed to resemble the Enterprise from the movie ‘Star Trek’.

The size is much smaller than that.

‘not bad.’

A rocket engine the size of a walnut installed in a rocket suit produces tremendous output.

So, a pair of engines with a length of more than 5 meters will exert an output beyond imagination.

Anyway, the external concept has been roughly decided, so now it’s time to design the interior of the spaceship.

‘Where should I make the entrance?’

A hole was drilled in the aft part of the hull.

We will install a gateway in that hole.

A typical spacecraft has double doors and installs a decompression chamber in the middle.

This is because it can prevent air from leaking out when entering and exiting the spacecraft from outer space.

But my ship doesn’t need a decompression chamber.

hiss-

I drew ＜magical engineering entrance door＞ in the entrance.

It has a function similar to a magic barrier, so you can selectively pass only what you want.

People can come in and out, but the air can’t escape.

I went through the door and went inside the ship.

It wasn’t wide, but it wasn’t very narrow either.

The interior of the ship can be expanded at any time using ＜Space Expansion＞, so there was no need to make it larger.

Right now, this size was suitable for putting the whole thing in the inventory.

Lulu-

I was immersed in the design work and drew the control stick for the golem to sit on and the ‘captain’s chair’ for me to sit on.

I also drew a table to use when drinking tea.

‘Should there be a window?’

It would be nice to have a cup of coffee while admiring the scenery of the universe through the window.

Large dome-shaped windows are installed not only on spacecraft, but also on the International Space Station (ISS).

Astronauts on long missions in isolated space look down at the Earth through that window to reduce stress.

In fact, the reason windows are installed on space stations and spaceships is to secure visibility in case of an emergency.

In case the camera installed outside breaks down, the only way to check the situation outside is the window.

And even when manipulating the robot arm outside the spacecraft inside the spacecraft, it is reported that it is faster and more efficient to work with the naked eye through a glass window than through a camera.

In any case, it would be cramped without windows on the ship.

I painted windows all over the spaceship.

You don’t have to drill holes in the Orichalcon hull to install the windows.

Just use ＜transparency＞ magic to make only the part you want transparent.

.

.

The design of the spacecraft was completed by repeating erasing and redrawing several times.

We also completed a virtual performance test.

All that remains is to assemble parts using the 3D Printer based on the blueprints.

‘Let’s take a break.’

I came out of ＜Room of Freedom＞.

And woke up from a lucid dream.

self-

When I opened my eyes, the sun had already set and it was dark.

prick-

The sound of grasshoppers could be heard through the slightly open window.

Eulachacha!

I got up from the sofa and stretched.

Then came out into the garden.

Stepping on the well-trimmed grass like a carpet, I cooled my head.

Then I suddenly thought of dog poop.

I wondered where she was and what she was doing.

I used ＜Eyes and Ears＞ to spy on her.

***

Gae Ddong was roaming the streets of Seoul at night.

Growling-

My stomach had been begging for food since earlier.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything after waking up from hibernation.

‘You’ve been starving for over a thousand years!’

If you had an elixir, you could satisfy your hunger and thirst with magic without food or water.

However, now that the elixir is depleted, you have to eat and drink like everyone else to live.

‘I’m back to my old self.’

From a transcendent who did not feel any inspiration even when he saw a mountain of gold, he returned to a nobby dog sh*t who cried and laughed at a handful of grain.

Growling-

The more I thought about it, the more hungry I was.

‘I can’t overcome the problems of reality even if I get immersed in sentimentality!’

We need to find something to eat quickly.

Gae Ddong looked at the ten thousand won bill he was holding in his hand.

‘This must be money.’

After becoming a member of Shar, Dog Dung learned many things from them.

Among them were letters and numbers from other countries.

So, even though she couldn’t read Hangeul written after she fell asleep, she could understand Arabic numerals in base 10.

‘How much is 10,000 worth of money?’

sniff-

she twitched her nostrils.

It is because of the smell that stimulates the appetite.

What caught her eye was a street fish cake shop.

‘What smell…’

It was incredibly stimulating.

She walked away, drawn by the irresistible aroma of steaming fish cake soup.

When I came to my senses, I was standing in front of a stall.

The hostess pointed to the fish cake and said to her.

“Eomuk is delicious! A thousand won for a skewer!”

Of course, I couldn’t understand Korean.

However, I could understand the numbers written on the shelf.

＜1 skewer of fish cake 1,000 won＞

It seems to have written down the price of the food, but I couldn’t read the text, so I couldn’t figure out exactly.

It is impossible to know whether it is 1,000 won for 1 or 1 won for 1,000.

Of course, there was a high probability that it would be 1,000 won per piece.

There are only dozens of fish cake skewers on the counter, but there is no way the price was written down like that.

However, if 1,000 pieces were 1 won, 10,000 won was a huge amount of money.

Then, for the time being, he was a dog poop holding out the hope that he would not go hungry.

‘I’m starving, so let’s eat one!’

Gadddong picked up a stick of fish cake.

Then he blew softly and carefully took a bite.

‘Oh my God!’

After becoming a member of Shar, she traveled all over the world and was treated with delicacies from the kings of each country.

However, the fish cake skewers I was eating now tasted much better than them.

It was really a ‘market side dish’.

One fish cake skewer was eaten in an instant.

Then, as he picked up another skewer, he stopped with a sigh.

‘I have to check the price first!’

She handed out a 10,000-won note to the owner.

Then, the lady handed her one 5,000 won bill and four 1,000 won bills.

‘I knew it···.’

It was 1,000 won per fish cake skewer.

I couldn’t even appease my hunger properly, but I spent 10% of my entire property.

‘What should I do?’

she hesitated

Eat one more skewer or not.

Then, in the end, I picked up another skewer.

“Does our fish cake taste good? Eat it with soup too!”

From noble mtl dot com

The lady put fish cake soup in a paper cup and held it out to her.

.

.

.

‘What should I do!’

We ate not only fish cakes, but also spicy tteokbokki and soft sundae.

After coming to my senses, I had only 2,000 won left in my hand.

The craving I felt for the first time in a thousand years was so intense that I couldn’t stop it.

‘Still, the ship is full!’

The dog sh*t started walking on the road again.

I spent all my money, but the world looked different when I felt full.

Walking bravely, I looked at the cars running on the road and also looked at the shops in the downtown area.

He also checked his current location by looking at the map hanging in the tourist information center.

‘I am now in the land of Hanju!’

During the Unified Silla Period, Gyeonggi-do and its surroundings were called ‘Hanju’.

After wandering around for a while, my legs hurt so I sat down on a park bench to rest.

But now it was the real problem.

‘Where do you sleep?’

It was then.

A group came up to her.

were young women.

They asked Dog Dung.

“Are you not sleeping? Shall we feed you?”
