Chapter 6 The rocket takes off!

Du Xingyu had already started the live broadcast at this time, and the viewers who received the notification entered the live broadcast room.
"Hello everyone, you should be able to see that our rocket launch preparations have been completed. In another three minutes, we will ignite and launch on time."
"Here, we went to the farmers' market to buy a big live rooster, weighing 2.1 kilograms, and we also designed a small space capsule for it, and the Rockets will send the chicken to an estimated 20 kilometers altitude!"
"I named this rocket Star One, which means our first step towards the stars!"
In the live broadcast room, the audience started to make fun of it.
"Seeing three minutes of silence for this chicken, it will soon turn into a high-altitude roasted chicken!"
"I hope the launch is successful!"
"Where is the young lady, I'm here to see her!"
"Hurry up, I can't wait!"
"Sit down and wait for the monkey to come to heaven!"
At this time, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room showed that there were 1,000 people.
Du Xingyu explained a few words and asked Xu Lianqiu to appear on the screen. The audience in the live broadcast room immediately increased by a thousand, and some people even gave small gifts directly.
"Only thirty seconds left, everyone!" Du Xingyu and others sat in the distance, connecting the rocket's control system through their laptops.
"Start countdown!" Du Xingyu looked at the time and counted down: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
The students became nervous without realizing it. Although the Rockets were not made by them, as classmates and live audiences, they had a strong sense of participation.
"Three, two, one! Ignition!" The ignition program is automatically started, and the ignitor inside the rocket responds.
Blazing flames ejected from the bottom of the rocket, creating a powerful airflow that pushed the rocket into the sky.
During this period, the rocket took off with a loud whistling sound!
"Flying up!" Everyone exclaimed, looking at the sky with surprise.
They could see that the "Starry Sky One" was steadily flying towards the clouds. The rooster in the space capsule was chirping in horror.
"It's really taken off!" The audience was also shocked in the live broadcast room.
Many people watch live broadcasts, but they just have a fun mentality and do not think that the rockets made by Du Xingyu can be launched.
But at present, this rocket has actually risen to the sky, and the shock in their hearts is no less than that of the audience.
Barrage: "666666666!"
"Beef beer! Beef beer! Beef beer!"
"Jiangnan Vocational College of Science and Technology sent a congratulatory message!"
"The anchor is so arrogant! The rockets he made have really taken off!"
"This is the hardest-core anchor I have ever met! Pay decisive attention!"
"Damn it, it's true!" Zong Ming, who was watching the live broadcast, was eating potato chips. This scene made him stop and stare at the computer screen blankly.
"It's taken off, it seems that the height is several thousand meters!" Lin Guangyan raised his head. In just a dozen seconds, only a small black dot was left in Starry Sky One.
"It's amazing! It's amazing!" Zhou Bin said with an excited look: "The students who have achieved this level are definitely the first in the history of Aviation University. I guess they are even the teachers and professors who dare not say that they can do it!"
"Let's go and have a look. I want to know the specific process!" He pulled Lin Guangyan to Du Xingyu's side to see the computer surveillance screen.
"The current launch altitude has reached 8.5 kilometers, and the rocket is in good condition. The driver may be a little frightened, but his life is in good condition." Du Yuxing's notebook shows the data and pictures of the rocket's internal surveillance system.
"Our Rockets have really taken off!" Until now, Wang Wei and others are still a little unbelievable.
To be honest, they thought Du Xingyu was just thinking about it at first. The help was purely because of classmates and roommates. They didn’t dare to think about how to achieve this!
"That's great!" Xu Lianqiu's pretty face was flushed and she was extremely beautiful. This was caused by excitement.
Du Xingyu himself was also a little excited. It was the first time he had conducted such a scientific research experiment.
He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement and said, "It's not over yet, recycling later is the most difficult place!"
There have been many experiences and precedents in the Rockets' launch technology, but the world is in the exploration stage.
If their experiments are successful, the significance of this rocket launch will definitely not be limited to one student graduation project, but will affect the entire aerospace industry!
The rocket continued to rise, breaking through the clouds, and until the rising fuel was burned out, the liftoff distance reached 26.3 kilometers, and it had entered the stratosphere at this time.
Immediately afterwards, the rising thruster begins to stop working and the rocket begins to fall. This is a particularly critical step. When falling at an altitude of 26,000 meters, no matter how hard the metal structure is, it will fall!
Du Xingyu made two preparations, the second fuel of the parachute and thruster.
"Everyone is a little far apart. If you hit you, you will die!" Wang Wei shouted with a loudspeaker, asking the students to retreat.
The students hurriedly evacuated, and the rocket was still falling rapidly in the sky.
"Your recycling is still a fixed-point?" Zhou Bin discovered that Du Xingyu was adjusting the destination of the rocket's falling by adjusting the micro-air flow injection device.
"Yes, I have designed a fixed-point recycling system, which will fall within a range of ten meters in diameter around the landing point." Du Xingyu said.
"Fixed recycling!" Zhou Bin's heart was shocked. The Space Administration has been studying this technology for more than ten years! So far, there has been no breakthrough progress! Can he, a student, do it?
The rocket is constantly adjusting its direction, and its distance from the ground is getting closer and closer. If a rocket falls on the ground and hits the ground directly without any preparation, it is equivalent to a small bomb!
"Here!" Du Xingyu kept staring at the distance sensor. When the calculated landing distance was reached, the thruster was started for the second time, using the second fuel reserve to generate reverse propulsion force to offset the gravity potential energy of the rocket falling.
The rocket's falling speed began to slow down. Du Xingyu pressed the button, and the space capsule containing a rooster was ejected. The parachute was opened at the same time, and the space capsule began to fall slowly.
The rocket's arrow body continued to slow down and land towards the landing point.
"It's going to fall!" Everyone became nervous. The rocket was clearly seen in the sky. Its tail flame was still burning!
"Five hundred meters!"
"Three hundred meters!"
"One hundred meters!"
"Twenty meters!" The Starry Sky One rocket stopped at a distance of twenty meters from the ground and did not directly hit it.
"Land!" Du Xingyu shouted, the rocket landed slowly and landed steadily at the predetermined landing point. Except for the coating of the arrow body that was damaged due to the friction of the atmosphere, the other parts were intact.
"Success!" Du Xingyu stood up first and shouted excitedly.
"The landing was successful!" Wang Wei jumped up excitedly.
"We have successfully launched? We have also recovered the rockets? Wang Wei, do you take a photo of me, am I dreaming?" Zhao Qingquan was a little confused.
"I'm just a fool's dream, this is true!" Lu Liang exclaimed, "I admit that I was wrong in calculations. I used to estimate that the success rate of rocket launch was zero percent, but now, it has successfully launched and landed perfectly - Du Xingyu, you are so amazing!"
Chapter completed!
