"According to the procedure, after the first-stage rocket fuel is exhausted, the blasting crystal will automatically unlock the connection device, and the second-stage rocket will automatically turn on after a delay of one second..." The Elf Queen's announcement came from the earphones.
I have launched hundreds of launch vehicles, and I can basically recite all the procedures. However, the Elf Queen still performs her duties as a briefer in the command center to inform us.
After all, the stakes are high. The weapons of the gods may be fired again at any time, and we don't have much time to waste.
"Start the ten-second countdown, ten, nine...three, two, one, separate!"
boom!
Even the tearing sound caused by the violent friction of the air around us could not completely cover up the explosion sound caused by the simultaneous explosion of more than 600 explosive crystals connecting the upper and lower stages of the rocket. There was also a huge sound coming from the rocket we were pushing.
of vibration.
"Second stage rocket ignition!"
Boom!
The thin layer of sealing paper on the nozzle of the second-stage rocket engine was blown away by the bursting flames, and a huge blue flame emerged from underneath the second-stage rocket.
But, is it my imagination? Why do I feel the rocket is leaning a little?
Isn’t it time to turn the program around yet?!
"Qin Xin, the command center confirmed that only thirty-five of the thirty-six engines of the second-stage rocket have been started, and the rocket's attitude has begun to lose control!" The Elf Queen's calm voice came from the earphones. "If it cannot be saved, force it
Separate the source of magic power and evacuate."
Yep, good luck doesn't always exist.
Because the power of a single engine was insufficient, a large number of engines had to be installed to make up for the lack of thrust in order to push the magic source weighing more than 600 tons into the universe.
But most rocket engines are installed in multiples, and the risks that come with it will also increase. Even if we can make a rocket engine with an ignition success rate of 99%, four-unit installation, eight-unit installation, thirty-six-unit installation
Joint installation, one hundred and eight joint installations. The more installed, the greater the probability of ignition failure. As long as one rocket engine fails to ignite, the rocket will have a thrust imbalance, resulting in an out-of-control attitude.
Although we can maintain the attitude of the rocket through the aerodynamic panel and us in a short period of time, as the speed gets faster and faster, we will eventually crash due to insufficient thrust, which will cause the rocket to be unable to maintain its attitude.
So, no matter what, let the engine that is not ignited be re-ignited!
"Alice!"
A white magic halo flashed, and Alice appeared beside me, taking my place, maintaining the rocket posture with Liara.
And I climbed down along the specially prepared concave handrails on the rocket body.
Fortunately, the unignited rocket engine is located in the outer ring of the engine.
If it's in the inner ring, we'd better grab the magic source and run away.
Holding on to the nozzle of the unlit rocket engine, I put my head in with my fighting energy and magic body protection deployed, observing the status of the engine. (Good boy, please don’t be a role model)
The ignition magic array is operating normally, but no liquid hydrogen or oxygen is flowing out from it, then the problem lies in the fuel delivery pipe!
After checking the ignition magic circle that was constantly emitting tiny sparks, I nodded clearly.
I remember that the fuel pipe of this rocket engine should be at this location.
After using my fingernails to mark out the buried position of the fuel pipe on the rocket casing, I pulled out the Borenak with my backhand and pried open the rocket casing made of foam alloy, exposing the fuel pipe inside.
It turned out that the fuel pipe was folded and the fuel inside could not pass through.
I found the fuel pipe that was bent for some reason, and I restored it to its normal position.
Less than two seconds after the pipe was cleared, the rocket engine, which had already started its ignition device, finally ignited successfully and the thrust was rebalanced.
I took out the super glue from the dimensional space and glued the pried-off rocket shell back, and then I returned to my position.
Alice, on the other hand, turned into a phantom and floated beside me, ready to help at any time.
Alice in this state is relatively slow to burn my skill points.
Although there was a small accident, it was still within the acceptable range.
After exhaling, with the push of Liara and I, the re-adjusted rocket kept accelerating, and when it reached the predetermined high speed, it began a slow programmed turn.
Because the previous rocket engine failed to ignite, the thrust was somewhat insufficient. When the program turning point was reached, the fuel was less than the planned remaining amount, but it was still within the safe range.
After all, we had already considered the situation of insufficient fuel. The full fuel was about 5% more than the amount required to complete the launch.
Don’t underestimate the 5% amount, this much fuel is enough for us to do a lot of things!
"Please note that the second stage rocket will burn out after one minute."
When the surrounding air became thinner and thinner, and the temperature became colder and colder, a message from the Elf Queen came over.
Although Liara cannot be seen and her presence can only be judged by the flying technique Liara uses, I believe Liara must be ready.
Just as Liara and I were silently increasing the magic power of flying to prevent the rocket's stable flight posture from being destroyed by the vibration caused by the explosion of the exploding crystal and the ignition of the rocket, there was a violent explosion next to us.
boom!!
Below us, the second-stage rocket engine suddenly exploded, a raging fire broke out on the outer wall of the rocket, and the thrust began to decrease.
hateful!
I don’t need the ground command center to analyze the cause. I can guess that the outer wall of the rocket that was just stained with super glue must have been blown away by the airflow, and the fuel pipe was torn by the airflow, causing the fuel inside to leak and catch fire!
If the flame continues to burn, it won't take long for the fuel inside to ignite, and the entire rocket will explode!
After weighing the pros and cons, I gritted my teeth and controlled the rocket control crystal hanging on my hand, forced the second rocket separation device to explode, and the first rocket ignited directly.
"Alice, help!"
After the materialized Alice took over my position again, I opened my two pairs of wings and flew to the side of the second-stage rocket that was burning with remaining fuel and bursting into flames.
Explosive kick!
With the blessing of God's Awakening, if I want, the explosive kick can be turned into a group attack skill. The strong fighting spirit carried by the kicking leg can easily sweep away dozens of soldiers who are not strong enough.
And now, my right leg, which was wrapped in a huge amount of fighting spirit, kicked directly on the body of the second-stage rocket, causing the rocket that was about to explode to directly separate from us, spinning at a high altitude with thin air, and the spilled fuel and oxidizer would
The sky was dyed blue.
boom!
As the fuel spilled from the flame follower entered the fuel tank, the huge two-stage rocket turned into a huge fireball in the sky and fell downwards.
And I also moved in an instant, using Alice as my position, and flew directly to where I should go.
Well, because the rocket separated early, if we don't take any measures now, we really won't be able to fly into low-Earth orbit.
According to my estimation, if there are no more accidents in the next rocket, this launch vehicle should be barely able to push the magic source outside the atmosphere, and then it will eventually fall into the atmosphere because it has not reached the first cosmic speed of the planet.
Burned to ashes.
Well, outside the atmosphere, because the magic element is thin, the thrust that the Wind Movement can provide is very limited. If Liara and I push the magic source to the first cosmic speed... wait until we build our own
Maybe we can try to obtain the power of faith, but Liara and I will never be able to do it now.
But just because Liara and I can't do it, it doesn't mean that we can't push the magic source into satellite orbit.
In addition to my dimensional space and the large number of booster rockets prepared in Liara's space bracelet, we can also refuel the rockets around us.
Because the rocket has reached a sufficient height and its speed is not slow, the eight rocket engines under the rocket are enough to push the magic source into the satellite orbit.
As long as I open the hatch cover and continuously replenish the fuel in the dimensional space, it will be enough to provide enough fuel for the rocket to continue operating!
Click!
With a slight vibration in the huge rocket cabin in front of us, the first rocket separated from us, leaving the smaller fourth-stage launch vehicle and the relatively huge transport cabin to enter low-Earth orbit with us. (
