Chapter 2289, satellite launch
The launch site of the artificial satellite definitely couldn't be in an urban area. Even considering safety, Luo Ji arranged the launch site directly in the buffer zone between the Western Dwarf Province and the border line.
After all, it is basically deserted and the climate is relatively stable.
To be honest, half a month ago, Luo Ji didn't even expect that he had just sent Mia away with his front foot, and he would also come here with his back foot.
However, it seems that Mia is already studying magic in seclusion, and he himself has business here, so he will not disturb her retreat.
Before Luo Ji arrived at the scene, the space agency staff responsible for this project were all repeating one thing, and that was inspection, inspection.
Obviously, after experiencing the previous four failures, everyone was a little too nervous about this launch.
After all, every time they fail, the headlines in newspapers and the public opinion of the people bring them tremendous pressure.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the aerospace field of all civilizations needs this first step!
When Luo Ji arrived, he didn't waste any time and just signaled to start.
Within the space agency, the staff responsible for this artificial satellite launch project took action one after another.
"Everyone is in place for final confirmation."
"Final confirmation completed, everything is ready! Please give instructions!"
"Five, four, three, two, one! Light the fire!"
The next second, with a dull sound, the launch vehicle was officially launched!
"Entering the vertical ascent stage."
"Altitude is being raised, everything is normal..."
"Reaching the designated altitude, the booster separates."
"Booster separated successfully!"
"Gravity steering in progress..."
Inside the space agency, the project leader stared intently at the electronic screen in front of him, as if he was pouring all his obsessions and hopes into the ascending launch vehicle!
"Very good, no problem!"
"Fairing separation."
"The fairing separation is complete!"
"The first and second stages of the rocket separate and confirm the speed and altitude!"
"The separation of the first and second stages of the rocket is completed! The speed and altitude have been confirmed and have reached the designated position."
"Secondary engine ignition."
"Secondary engine ignition successful!"
The extremely tense atmosphere inside made Luo Ji, who was standing behind and watching, unable to help but hold his breath and concentrate.
At this point, Luo Ji finally had a chance to speak while the other party was taking a breather.
The atmosphere before was too solemn and too tense, making it difficult and inconvenient for him to speak.
"Director Zhao, how far has this progressed now?"
Facing Luo Ji's question, Director Zhao took a long breath and said quickly...
"Reporting to your majesty, we are now circularizing the orbit. The previous gravity steering has turned the launch vehicle's flight trajectory into a parabola, and this is done now to make the satellite's flight trajectory no longer a parabola, so that
It flies around the planet under the gravity of the planet."
Next, some time passed, and after successfully circularizing the orbit, we finally entered the final stage!
"Confirm arrival at the designated location, and the stars and arrows are separated."
"The satellite and the launch vehicle were successfully separated!"
At this moment, the first artificial satellite of the civilization of all worlds was officially sent into the satellite orbit!
"Expand the solar panels and make adjustments."
"The solar panels were deployed successfully and adjustments are completed!"
"Open the communication antenna and confirm whether it can operate normally!"
"The communication antenna is turned on, everything is normal!"
After completing the last step, the moment they successfully contacted the first artificial satellite of their civilization of all worlds, the emotions and tension that the project team members had suppressed for a long time completely exploded at this moment, and everyone was in control.
I couldn’t help but cheer loudly on the spot!
"Success, we succeeded!!!"
At this moment, even Luo Ji felt relieved and couldn't help but pump his fist twice.
This step finally allowed him to take it!
The first man-made satellite was successfully launched into the sky by him. Will it be difficult for the second, third and fourth man-made satellite after that?
This day can be said to be a historic moment, and it will definitely be recorded in the history of civilizations in all worlds.
Luo Ji originally wanted to hold a celebration banquet and celebrate grandly.
But as a result, a large group of people in the project team were completely paralyzed after cheering...
Everyone said that they just want to sleep now.
In the period before the launch of the artificial satellite, they hardly slept peacefully for a day.
It’s not that the workload is heavy, it’s that the pressure is high!
In the days before the launch, they were so anxious that they almost went crazy, and they were checking again and again every day.
Now that I am relieved, it becomes like this.
In response, after Luo Ji laughed twice, he simply canceled the celebration banquet and gave them something real.
Pay out the bonuses, take a long vacation, and get it done.
After that, he temporarily went to the Yellow Sand Fortress to inspect the situation. On his way back, he stopped by the Dwarf Province to have a look.
After the trip, he had a full schedule, which made him so tired that when he returned to Mirror City, he wished he could sleep for a few days and nights without caring about anything.
But a lot of things pushed him and he had to get back to work quickly.
Looking through the latest report sent from the front line, it was found that seven months had passed since he signed the non-aggression treaty with Rose Barca.
In order to fulfill the treaty, the number of ratmen that the other party must hand over every month has officially reached 500,000!
Although Luo Ji originally demanded that the other party hand over one million ratmen every month, everyone knew that he was opening his mouth to facilitate the subsequent bargaining.
Now the number of half a million is already very astonishing.
People who have never seen it with their own eyes may not be able to imagine the exaggerated scene.
This forced the frontline troops to carry out another large-scale expansion of their fence.
In contrast, Rose Barca's side was able to deliver this number of ratmen on time every month quite stably.
This made Luo Ji surprised at the population growth efficiency of the rat people...
Looking at the report in front of him, he thought about the combat power he could use now. On the orc side, individual strategic units and small-scale troops can still be used, but I am afraid that the large army cannot be counted on.
How long has it been since the all-out war in Gaosu ended? The orcs have lost so many troops. It is impossible to mobilize the army again in a short period of time.
On the elven side, the main issue is the production of elven magic arrows.
At this moment, Luo Ji was confirming the troops that could be mobilized and thinking about his chances of winning. He was really a little unsure.
Chapter completed!
