Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 753 The lit night sky!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rocket begins to inject fuel. Hundreds of tons of dangerous fuel will take a total of seven hours to be injected into each stage of the rocket from bottom to top.

The entire Xichang Rocket Launch Base has also begun to officially enter the final state of preparation.

In order to make time, dinner in the cafeteria is more than an hour earlier than usual.

The lump of meat that Zhou Rui didn't eat at lunch was finally eaten at dinner.

After five o'clock, all people in the core area of ​​the base who had nothing to do with the launch were evacuated, all doors and windows were closed, and all irrelevant equipment was powered off.

In the entire Xichang base, only the "launch tower" and "command building" are functioning normally.

A few kilometers away, the observation deck specially responsible for accommodating "visitors" was also overcrowded.

There are long guns and short cannons, and countless filming equipment, including those of the citizens themselves and those of the media.

At seven o'clock, one hour before the launch, which is also the period when the Yangma News Network is broadcast, the space agency and the Chang'e-3 project team made the final press conference report in a report room in the command building.

Who would have thought that it would break through Mach 24 in half an hour.

I am only a supporting role in "Chang'e 3". This project is the result of several years of work by all the staff, including Sun Ze, so there is no need to steal the show and take credit.

Half of the rockets were installed by you.
Zhou Rui only answered one question, and the "super-fast report meeting" that lasted about ten minutes ended.

At this moment, from Jiuquan to Taiyuan, from Guizhou to Jinshi.

In addition to the Xichang base, a rocket that breaks through the atmosphere and goes to the moon also requires more ground observation stations and even sea surface observation ships to coordinate observations.

Yangma will film the whole process and directly insert it into today's news broadcast in a delayed live broadcast.

Yes, yes, participation is limited.

"Mr. Zhou Rui, how did you join the Chang'e-3 lunar exploration project by chance, and what kind of work did you participate in?"

Zhou Rui pulled Little Bee over and said calmly:
"My participation is limited. I am an external expert on the Yutu lunar exploration rover. Yutu is equipped with the latest technological products of Enlightenment Intelligence. It is an honor to be able to provide some help to China's aerospace and lunar exploration programs."

However, Zhou Rui didn't want to steal the show, so reporters still asked him questions.

At this time, the place was full of people, and every computer had dazzling data and complex interfaces.

Director Sun, who was sitting in the middle, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

There was a whole row of people sitting on the stage, all of whom were the brains behind the Chang'e 3 project and the base.

Director Sun made an opening speech, and Chief Engineer Sun Ze reported on the progress. Among the main characters, only "Shan Chunyuan" was not present, and he had to stay at the launch tower until the last moment.

Countless people are waiting for that moment to soar into the sky.

It's so close. This "report room" is designed like this. If the launch is successful in a while, they will come back.

Dozens of computers at workstations are used to monitor all the data of the rocket at all times, with dedicated personnel and dedicated monitoring.

Chief Engineer Sun Ze was naturally in the center, alongside Director Sun. Zhou Rui was also invited to the stage, but his position was to the right of the center, even behind Zhang Xianpeng according to the seating arrangement. This was his request.

The so-called command center is similar to what you see on TV. In a huge room, there are rows of integrated computer equipment, with a large screen in front.

On the big screen, the protagonist "Chang Sanyi" was still standing quietly in the launch tower.

Everyone stood up immediately, turned right when going out, and entered the "Command Center" next door.

Director Sun looked at the screen and exhaled. Every space launch is a thrilling test.

Test the final results of countless people and countless efforts.

Although he has seen too many rocket launches in this position, this time is different.

Given the importance of "Chang'e-3", if it fails
As the director, it's almost time for him to change his position.
Director Sun turned to look at Zhou Rui and said, "Mr. Zhou, please sit next to me."

Zhou Rui nodded and did not refuse

The main reason is that the location next to the director is good, two steps higher than other places, so you can have an overall view.

In the command room, because there are a lot of electronic equipment, there is a faint smell of "ozone" in the air, but it is no longer important at this time.

At 7:30, "Chang Sanyi" entered the tower departure procedure.

The building-like "transmission tower" opens vertically from the middle.

Steel doors spread out on both sides, like steel wings, reaching straight into the sky.

In the center of the "crack", the white "Chang Sanyi" is exposed.

At this time, Chang Sanyi had only an "umbilical cord"-like pipe bridge all over his body, which was connected to the three-stage rocket to inject the final fuel into it. This process would last until five minutes before launch.

At the same time, the connecting bridge can also play a role in stabilizing the rocket.

"Rocket transfer, countdown. 5, 4, 3"

Following the command from the commander.

On the two-story "moving platform" at the bottom, the gears rotate steadily and slowly, moving outward at a speed of 0.3 meters per second.

This behemoth finally appeared in front of countless cameras and countless visitors.

"Fuck! It's so big!"

"Look! The building is cracked!" "It's so cool! It turns out that the super weapon in Red Alert is a reference!"

"Master Zhou said he bought it at half price, but this is it? Damn it!"

"So high!"

After three minutes of movement, Chang Sanyi arrived at the scheduled launch position, juxtaposed in the center of two taller lightning rods, but would not be upstaged at all.

The entire launch tower area was illuminated by strong lights. The white figure, the four characters "China Aerospace" and the touch of red at the top were particularly conspicuous.

Especially the audience on the mountaintop observation deck kept exclaiming.

When a human creation stands among the mountains, but it is no less elegant, the admiration and awe of the huge creation will well up from the depths of the soul.

Shan Chunyuan's voice came from the command center: "The engineering team has completed the last round of testing. All 72 indicators are normal. Please give instructions from the command center!"

Commander: "Countdown to launch is 20 minutes, launch tower personnel evacuate, all personnel leave the site!"

"Copy that, we're organizing an evacuation!"

"Chegan! Let's go! Hurry!"

"coming!"

At the bottom of the launch tower, Che Gan took one last look back.

Behind the open "rift valley" is the huge Changsanyi and the night sky illuminated by lights.

"Countdown to launch is 15 minutes, report telemetry situation."

"The first-level engine system telemetry is normal!"

"Level 1 fuel system telemetry is normal!"

"Telemetry of the first-level positioning system is normal!"

"Second Level"

Chief Engineer Sun Ze secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, but did not dare to let others notice.

After several years of hard work, success or failure lies in one fell swoop.

"Five minutes countdown to launch, report on fuel injection status!"

"Full sub-stage fuel injection meets planned standards."

"Stop fuel injection and report the indications of each fuel tank every 30 seconds!"

In the command center, Shan Chunyuan walked in quietly.

Looking around, he stood next to Zhou Rui and whispered, "Are you worried?"

Zhou Rui looked at his watch and smiled: "Don't worry."

Shan Chunyuan: "Why?"

"Because I believe you."

Shan Chunyuan was surprised for a moment.
If there is a meter for favorability.
You must be calling the police like crazy at this time
"One minute countdown to launch! Swing the pendulum!"

The long three-B top end, used for injecting fuel and stabilizing the rocket body, opens toward both sides.

From now on.

There is no obstacle to this guy anymore.

The only thing that can prevent it from flying into the sky is himself.

"Ready for launch, please give instructions!"

"Permission to launch!"

"Everything is in place! Countdown to launch is ten seconds! 10, 9"

Zhou Rui suddenly whispered to Shan Chunyuan, who was waiting with bated breath:

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"If the launch is successful, you can come to Taiyangong in the future and dispatch it first, and I will make arrangements later."

Shan Chunyuan said subconsciously: "Then you are sure to win. What kind of bet is this?"

In addition to Zhou Rui, he himself also believes in his carefulness and work level.

Chang'e-3 is destined to be a new continuation of Shan Chunyuan's "perfect" record.

Zhou Rui smiled: "Do you dare?"

Shan Chunyuan stared at Zhou Rui's eyes for a long time.
"dare"

“5、4、3、2、1！点火！”

"ignition!"
.
Several kilometers away, anxiously waiting visitors suddenly discovered...
The whole night sky is lit up!
