"Tonight, brilliant fireworks will rise in the eastern night sky!" Yuji Mitsui of the island nation stood on the viewing platform of the villa and whispered. He desperately hoped that the rocket would explode in the night sky, which would be the end of the world for him.
Said it was the most beautiful scenery.
Also in Tokyo, at Star Night Entertainment Company, popular artist Asaka Fukuda was nesting in her dormitory, taking out smart VR glasses. After putting them on, she seemed to instantly travel through space and arrive at the rocket launch site.
"There are still twenty minutes." The leaders of South Korea's Samsung Group looked at the screen with solemn expressions.
Senilia, Canton of Queira.
"Dear King Tu, you have an important meeting later..." In the Tu King's palace, the secretary was reporting to the new Tu King Kellin.
Kellin looked at the time, frowned slightly, and said, "Put it off to tomorrow. I'll have more important things to do later. Foster, has the rocket been launched?"
"Rocket launch? Where do we have a rocket? We don't even have an aerospace technology department..." the secretary asked confused.
…
United States, NASA (National Space Administration).
The head of the space agency, Battelle, was giving instructions, "Turn the satellite picture to their rocket silo. Don't miss any detail. I will report it in detail later."
"Yes!" The technicians have been staring at the surveillance screen. Today, they will closely monitor every process of the Yishen rocket launch in order to find some information.
"A payload of one hundred tons needs to be recovered?" A rocket designer shook his head and said, "I really think they are making an international joke. How can they do it?"
"Yeah, how could they?" Battelle thought deeply. Even they, who have the most advanced aerospace technology, have never achieved this level.
"But they are doing it."
"So we have to keep an eye on them! This is no small matter!"
Like NASA, staff at the U.S. Space Technology Exploration Corporation (SpaceX) are also paying attention to and discussing this matter.
Unlike NASA, SpaceX's commercial rockets are more similar to Deep Space Exploration Technology Company, both of which develop commercial rockets.
SpaceX's commercial rocket technology has always led the world. Currently, its Falcon Heavy launch vehicle has the highest carrying capacity in the world, which can transport more than 60 tons of payload into space and can complete the recovery of part of the rocket body.
Previously, in the field of commercial rockets, SpaceX has always been the only one in the world! Yes, there is not even a decent competitor, but now, a strong competitor suddenly appears in China, and the first rocket will surpass
How could they not pay attention to their Falcon launch vehicle?
"Actually, I don't want to regard him as my competitor." Musk, the founder of SpaceX, said calmly, "He and I are the same type of people. We are exploring the unknown areas of mankind. Even if his rocket is successfully launched, it will
It will have a huge impact on us, but I still hope they can succeed."
…
China time, 20:40, there are only five minutes left before the rocket launch. At the rocket launch command center, everyone is ready, waiting for the final countdown.
The online live broadcast platform showed that more than 10 million people were watching the live broadcast of the rocket launch at the same time.
"Sit back and wait for launch!"
"I wish the Yishen rocket can take off smoothly!"
"Suddenly I feel a little nervous!"
"The launch must be successful!"
“Come on Deep Space Technology!”
…
The audience was waiting nervously, and the atmosphere in the rocket launch command center became even more tense.
Meng Xiaobai sat in his seat and watched the time pass by second by second.
Zhan Haoran couldn't sit still at all and kept pacing with his hands behind his back. Even at the age of over seventy, he couldn't calm down now.
In the command center with more than a hundred people, no one said a superfluous word except for normal work reports.
"There is only one minute left. Everyone, the Yishen heavy-lift carrier rocket is about to take off! Let us all wish that the rocket can take off smoothly and be recovered smoothly this time!" TV reporter Yin Qiu'an finished speaking and asked the director to turn the camera to the offshore rocket launch silo.
.
On this offshore launch silo, the majestic heavy-duty rocket stands steadily on top, just waiting for the moment of ignition.
"There are still thirty seconds! Everyone pay attention!" Meng Xiaobai stood up and shouted loudly.
Everyone is nervous and highly focused.
"The countdown begins!" The command center thought of Meng Xiaobai's clear counting sound, spread to millions of viewers through the Internet, and to everyone in the world who was paying attention to this launch!
"Ten!" In Meng Xiaobai's home, a large family straightened their backs in front of the smart screen, staring at the real-time screen.
"Nine!" In the Quantum Communication Satellite Studio, Alina's legs stopped swinging.
"Eight!" In the deep space technology network conference room, Pan Yu and others paused the communication in unison, waiting for the launch order.
"Seven!" At Gao Yuan's house, Gao Yuan and Su Lianyue's hands were tightly held together.
"Six!" The operator's finger was already pressed on the ignition button, and his hand was shaking a little.
"Five!" NASA, Battelle put down his coffee cup, his pupils shrank, and his eyes focused on the satellite surveillance screen.
"Four!" Zhan Haoran held his breath, and like him, everyone held their breath.
"Three!" In the online live broadcast room, the audience was wildly posting comments.
"Two!" Meng Xiaobai's own voice even had a hint of vibrato!
"One!" At this moment, this was the only voice left in everyone's ears!
"Zero! Light the fire!" Meng Xiaobai almost shouted the last sentence.
With this sound, the operator pressed the ignition button hard!
On the rocket launch silo, a flame suddenly rose, illuminating the surrounding sea as if it were daytime! Accompanied by a harsh roar and a burning tail flame, the Yishen-1 heavy-duty carrier rocket began to take off!!!
In the picture, this rocket roars all the way, tearing apart the black curtain of the night sky, and rushes towards the mysterious extraterrestrial space!
At this time, the staff at the rocket launch command center still did not dare to relax. Successful ignition was just the beginning of this launch mission.
Next, they have to ensure that the rocket leaves the atmosphere and sends the micro-quantum micro into the intended orbit. During this period, the rocket's air pressure must be absolutely safe, otherwise there is a risk of explosion at any time.
Even if they put the satellite into orbit, they can only complete half of the mission, because there is still a more difficult and dangerous rocket recovery mission waiting for them. In this process, no one can relax!
"The first-stage thruster began to fall off, and the air pressure is normal!"
"The stabilizer is oscillating and is currently at a safe value!"
"Pay attention to the position where the thruster comes off!"
"The secondary thrusters are ready to separate..."
