Chapter 1339: Launch

Six astronauts, dressed in astronaut civilian clothes, sat down in turn, three men and three women, with a balanced match. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

These six people are undoubtedly the protagonists of today, among which Scott and Po Jun are the most eye-catching, one is the team leader, and the other is the name that has just been announced.

Of course, her public name is Ye Chengcheng, not the broken army that terrifies the world's soldiers.

After the six people, there are the representatives of the six countries of this joint plan, and these six people represent the governments of China, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and Germany, and all of them are at the level of vice premiers and vice secretaries of state.

After that, Ye Guofeng and Pan Yimin, who were in charge of the Jiuquan base, and Hawking, the king of the universe, a representative figure of the scientific community, were present.

After a brief introduction to the identities of these people, the press conference went straight to the question stage!

"Fellow journalists, I believe you have learned all aspects of this landing on Mars from various channels, and at your request, we will not make more introductions and speeches, but will set aside 90 minutes for you to ask questions. Yang Bihui's words won a burst of cheers.

It was a wonderful arrangement, so sweet and kind!

It would be nice if all the press conferences were like this!, the reporters thought to themselves.

The first opportunity to ask a question was won by an American, "Mr. Scott, I'm Irving, an Associated Press reporter, do you have anything to say to the earthlings before you leave your home planet?"

This American humor made the laughter in the venue fluctuate, and Scott, whose face was clean, also smiled, and said into the microphone: "Of course there is! This is the first time I have landed on Mars as an astronaut, and I hope this is the first and last time in my career as an astronaut, and next time, I hope to settle on Mars as an ordinary person." At the same time, thank you to NASA, Stargate Base, and the American people who have supported me for giving me this opportunity! ”

"Miss Ye Tingcheng, you are the last astronaut to reveal the secret, have you undergone long-term professional training as an astronaut?" Another foreign reporter stood up and asked, which made Yang Bihui, Ye Guofeng and others frown slightly.

Pojun has no training, how will she answer?

"No!" Po Jun's clear and affirmative answer immediately caused an uproar in the audience!

"There is no special training...... I don't understand why the officials here would choose a layman to land on Mars, and we have dozens of candidates all over the world, so why do you have to choose her?"

All kinds of questioning discussions spread among the reporters, and General Pan's face was as heavy as ink, his eyes were glaring, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Pojun just say lightly: "Because the leadership is on the Chinese side." ”

The audience was silent for an instant, and the reporter who asked the question also opened his mouth and was dumbfounded!

Yes, the leadership is in the hands of Huaxia, so what's the use of others pointing fingers? Even if a disabled person is sent up, no other country has the right to interfere!

"Next question! The reporter, please ask a question. Yang Bihui guided in time and helped break the siege.

"Dr. Hawking, I'm BBC reporter Bren, and we all know that sixteen years ago, you once made a statement warning humanity not to spread information to alien planets, just like the law of the dark jungle advocated by Chinese science fiction writers, which is extremely dangerous and will lead to the destruction of mankind. So what I want to ask is, does this exploration of Mars go against your original theory, will it bring unimaginable disasters to mankind, and what is your own position?"

Stephen Hawking was extremely opposed to the recklessness of mankind's search for aliens, but today, he supports the Mars landing plan, which is obviously inconsistent, and his words and deeds are inconsistent.

The questions of these reporters are indeed sharp, and if they come with hostile intentions, they will definitely hit the nail on the head. Which reporter who can enter the core area of this press conference is not a powerful character?

Hawking's thin cheeks showed a deep smile, he is no longer the miserable appearance he used to be, the years of stay in China have made him live younger and younger, and now he looks particularly energetic and full of connotation.

"Let me explain your doubts in the words of Albert Einstein. Innovation does not come from logical thinking, although the final product depends on a logical structure. Hawking replied with a smile, but it was too esoteric and too abstract.

"Doctor, do you mean that the support for the landing on Mars stems from the innovative development of your ideas?" Bren eagerly asked what that meant.

Hawking smiled and shook his fingers: "No, I mean, if we don't go crazy, we'll be old!"

There was laughter in the audience, and Hawking also had a moment of humor. Another reporter stood up to ask a question, and the reporter first bowed 90 degrees, and it turned out that he was an Oriental.

"Hi, I'm TV Asahi reporter Ozawa, and I would like to ask Mr. Ye a question, I mean, if the expedition to Mars fails, how will you and your team deal with it......"

As soon as this question was raised, Ye Guofeng's eyes showed a cold color, he squinted, and stared coldly at this little Japan.

What a disturbing and kind heart! Before the spacecraft was ignited and launched, this guy began to speculate about what would happen after the failure, what did he want to do? He was here to stir up the situation?

The venue that was originally filled with laughter quickly fell silent, and the reporters aimed their close-up shots at Ye Guofeng.

The expedition to Mars is a long journey, spanning time and space, eight months, 60 million kilometers of interstellar voyage, no one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes, even if a screw cap is loosened, it may cause the worst disaster in the history of human astronautics!

Ye Guofeng slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the reporters from various countries and regions in front of him, and his firm and powerful voice spread all over the world: "Expedition to Mars, only success, not failure! This is the common mission of all hundreds of millions of human beings in the world today, we spent 600 billion US dollars, gathered the world's top scientists, including the technology of six countries, and hundreds of thousands of people worked day and night to successfully land on Mars!" I guarantee with my life, this mission will never fail, if an accident happens, I, Ye Guofeng, will broadcast live in front of the whole world to apologize!"

Bang! Ye Guofeng punched on the table, and all the microphones jumped up.

On and off the stage, everyone's eyelids jumped twice.

After a few seconds of silence, the hall erupted in applause.

Not only can he not bear the consequences of failure, but how many of you here can bear it? Those who know the inside story well know that this spaceship carries the two heirs of the Ye family, who are the guardians of the country, the backbone of China, and the hope for the future of mankind......

In the distant 51st district of Nevada, USA, Li Tianlin, who was sitting on a large chair, showed a grim smile.

"Hehe, if you want to succeed, you can succeed, wake up! If there is no accident, I Li Tianlin will eat Xiang live!"

……

The long-awaited day has finally arrived, in the early winter morning of the northern hemisphere, the sky is cloudless, and the Kunpeng spacecraft at the No. 1 field of the Jiuquan Launch Center has already been covered with a coat of clothing!

More than 99% of the countries and regions in the world are broadcasting this most glorious event in the history of mankind live through live satellites!

From the metropolis to the African savannah, from the Antarctic to the Arctic research station, from the top of the Himalayas, to the space station, all the places that can receive the TV signal, all the eyes, are watching this feat, counting down.

Tens of millions of screens around the world have unified the picture and preferences.

Regardless of gender, age or age, nationality or race, skin color, wealth or poverty!

In the hall of the spacecraft launch general control room, a large group of scientists from various countries are busy and busy, the pictures on the hundreds of light curtains are constantly changing, and countless control dials and instrument buttons are flashing.

A group of neatly dressed big people walked into the general control hall, and among this group of people, the one who walked in the front was an old man who had not been on the TV screen for a long time, and behind him, Wen Wanting, the second person in the Chinese political arena, personally accompanied him.

"The prime minister is here!" "And Chairman Yang!?" The scientific researchers in China stood up and applauded one after another.

The gray-haired foreign scientists looked up at the sound, some stood up, some were dazed, and some hesitated.

"Everyone, please sit down! Don't delay your work because of us!" Yang Chongyan stopped and waved his hand, and those who got up hesitated to sit down.

The Prime Minister and the former Chairman arrived together, and Huaxia attached unprecedented importance to this landing plan!

Yang Chongyan waved to the crowd, came to the front row of the general control room, and stopped in front of the huge light curtain.

The Kunpeng is ready and just waiting to be unveiled.

"When will you enter the cabin?" Yang Chongyan asked in a low voice around him, accompanied by his daughter on one side and the prime minister on the other.

"It's about to be unveiled, Dad, sit down first. Yang Bihui said softly and helped him sit down.

"Okay, okay, in my lifetime, to be able to see this moment, my old bones are worth it. Yang Chongyan nodded, waiting for the spaceship on the screen to lift the curtain.

At 10:18, with the commander-in-chief's order, the sky-blue curtain covering the surface of the Kunpeng slid down layer by layer, revealing a stunning perfect hull.

The spacecraft hangs upside down on a third-stage launch vehicle, and the streamlined hull is printed with the flags of the five major powers, as well as the United Nations emblem, and the three ancient Chinese characters of the Kunpeng, which are particularly eye-catching.

After the unveiling, the astronauts began to board one by one!

Six human heroes in spacesuits entered the spacecraft one after another under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

When he saw the broken army, Yang Chongyan opened his mouth, and his eyes showed a little bit of crystalline.

After all, he just watched silently and didn't speak.

The picture kept switching, and the expression on Yang Chongyan's face was very serious, showing a slight hint of nervousness.

For so many years, when he was in a high position, he had never had such a nervous demeanor when he was in charge of Huaxia Niu'er, but today, his hands were trembling slightly.

Wen Wanting next to her was also trying her best to suppress her nervousness, she was also one of the few people who knew Ye Fan's whereabouts, since last night, Ye Fan had entered the cargo hold of the spaceship, but at this moment, there was no picture left for him.

The monitoring systems of the spacecraft and rocket are in the final test, and the time passes minute by minute, making countless people feel deeply tormented and nervous.

When the final moment comes, the world will be in focus!

"The Kunpeng spacecraft has entered the launch state, and now the countdown will start for nine or nine seconds!" In the empty master control hall, Ye Guofeng's calm voice resounded in every pair of ears and was transmitted to the world.

“98,97…… 66,65…… 23,22…… 13……”

This epoch-making countdown made hundreds of millions of faces in front of the screen put down everything at hand, pricked up their eyes, and polished their eyes!

The last few seconds of "5,4,3,2,1......" were like a hammer of judgment, striking in people's hearts, and the audience was silent.

"Ignite, launch!"
