"The wind is eleven knots, and it continues to slow down. ”

"The optical tracking station is being prepared, the weather is good, and the conditions for optical tracking are met. ”

"The rocket signal is normal, the telemetry signal is normal. ”

"Attention departments, the countdown is twenty minutes. ”

As the information was fed into the launch command center, more than 20 staff members in front of Ye Qing also entered a tense and busy situation.

Affected by the atmosphere here, even Ye Qing couldn't help but sit up straight.

All departments entered the working state, and everything was normal, but the commander-in-chief Chen Fangli became a little relaxed at this time.

He picked up the thermos cup with the red words "Commemoration of the Successful Launch of the Shenzhou Spacecraft" on the front and took a sip of strong tea, then said to Ye Qing in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Ye, if you look at the launch records of the top three on the Long March. We have at least a 70% chance of success in this rocket launch. ”

"The remaining 30 percent is not a failed launch, but a few minutes before the launch, when we suddenly encounter a change in the weather, or a situation between the various departments, which causes all the preparations to be reversed. ”

"Then we had to delay the launch and wait for the next window. ”

"The probability of irretrievable defeat of a real rocket is less than 1%. ”

Ye Qing showed a not-so-obvious smile, waved his hand and said, "Commander Chen, I'm not worried about the rocket. ”

"We know that the Changsanjia rocket has been launched in the past, and so far there has been no major situation. ”

"I'm actually worried about our satellite......"

Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli was slightly stunned, and after a moment he thought of the reason why Ye Qing was worried, "It's okay Mr. Ye, wait until the satellite is successfully sent into space." Our command center will be responsible for taking over all the attitude adjustment problems of this satellite. ”

"Then it's hard work for Commander Chen and the staff. Ye Qing didn't say what he was worried about in terms of hardware, anyway, the satellite was already on the rocket at this time, so he could only let it be.

A moment later.

Countdown, go in and get ready for ten minutes.

Everything is moving in a good direction, the various departments are testing normally, and the data is normal. The wind at the launch site also weakened from 11 knots to about 8 knots.

Although the Jiuquan Aviation Base is dry and rainy all year round, its latitude and longitude location is very suitable for launching satellites.

However, it is located in the Gobi, and the wind and sand are large all year round. Often, when it comes to a launch window, it is only more than ten minutes. In the past 10 minutes, if the rocket cannot be launched smoothly, it may be a few days before the next window is reached.

The launch was successful, meticulous inspection work was key, and luck was also key.

Good luck today.

By the time the countdown went into five minutes to prepare, the weather conditions were just in the best launch conditions.

At this time, Ye Qing had already taken Yun Shi to the upstairs media shooting room.

There are huge sealed floor-to-ceiling windows, aimed at the launch rack in the distance. There are also multiple screens on the walls to see the details of the rocket on the launch stand.

After Ye Qing set up a small camera, the commander's sonorous voice also came from the speaker.

"One minute to prepare.

Countdown.

50！

40！

……”

Thirty seconds later, Ye Qing walked into the observation window, and Yun Shi followed behind, hiding behind Ye Qing with some fear. No one could predict what kind of momentum the rocket more than 50 meters high in the distance would burst out when it entered the ignition.

“5… 4… 3… 2……”

There was one second left in the countdown, and the commander-in-chief, Chen Fangli, took the order and shouted loudly: "Ignition." ”

The atmosphere was tense to the limit at this moment, and the air seemed to freeze one second, and then suddenly explode in the next.

The launch tower was instantly surrounded by thick white smoke, and dazzling fireballs poured out from the base of the rocket and rushed into the sky. In a single breath, the whole world shook violently, as if watching twenty turbine engines outside the window at full thrust.

"Boom~Boom~"

The thick smoke rose hundreds of meters high, so much so that the entire Changsanjia rocket was hidden. In front of this earth-shattering and shocking scene, any living thing becomes extremely vulnerable.

Yun Shi shrank behind Ye Qing tremblingly, and Ye Qing's heart was strongly shocked and surging, until the pure white Changsanjia rocket rushed out of the smoke.

Twenty-story tall objects rose from the ground, and white flames shot out from the tail like sharp swords, like a mountain roaring like a tsunami, and soaring into the sky.

The sound barrier was quickly breached.

This was followed by one time the speed of sound, three times the speed of sound, five times the speed of sound, seven times the ......

The sky was torn and trembling.

The commander seemed to be shouting something, but it was no longer audible in the studio.

It wasn't until the rocket rushed out of an altitude of more than ten kilometers that Ye Qing could hear what it was.

"Jiuquan, the tracking signal is normal, the telemetry signal is normal. ”

"Jiuquan, optical tracking is normal. ”

"Radar tracking is normal.

Two minutes later, the momentum left by Changsanjia completely disappeared, and only the sound of information gathered by various observation stations every thirty seconds.

Ye Qing came to the command center again, and at this time, the commander-in-chief Chen Fangli had no time to greet Ye Qing, so he could only quickly turn around and smile, and quickly turned his head to stare at the information wall in front of him.

"Jiuquan, the rocket attitude is normal. ”

"Jiuquan, the Taiyuan radar station found the target. ”

"Nine springs, enter the first-level arrow body separation. ”

"The radar found the target, the first-stage rocket body was successfully separated, and the second-stage engine was successfully ignited. ”

"The tracking signal is normal, the telemetry signal is normal. ”

"Jiuquan, throw the fairing. ”

"The radar found the target, and the fairing was successfully separated.

"The second-level main is turned off, and the star and arrow are ready for separation.

In the vast universe beyond the atmosphere, the long three-class rocket that rose from a desolate land has changed from a huge streamlined body of more than 50 meters to a length of tens of meters today, and the engine and various pipes are exposed.

At the very front of the arrow body is a golden irregular square object.

Streams of pure white air silently erupted from the junction of the two objects, and then the golden object advanced towards the farther and deeper dark starry sky. The arrow body, which carried the last journey, stopped weakly and slowly fell towards the blue planet below.

"The separation of the star and arrow was successful. ”

"The separation of the star and arrow was successful. ”

The commander shouted twice in a row, and in his serious tone, there was an unconcealable excitement.

"It's a success!"

I don't know who shouted in the command room, and then the entire sitting staff stood up.

They had smiles on their faces, and although they didn't hug each other in the movie, the atmosphere in the whole hall was not much worse than in the movie.

Yun Shi kept clapping, smiling like a flower, "Boss, we succeeded." ”

Ye Qing and the commander-in-chief Chen Fangli were shaking hands with each other to celebrate, and their tense mood was greatly eased with the successful launch of the rocket.

Ye Qing turned his head at this time and said, "We have only succeeded in the first step. ”

Commander-in-chief Chen Fangli also nodded, "Yes, at present, only the rocket has been successfully launched, and there is still a second step to be done." ”

The second step is to put the satellite into the predetermined orbit and successfully activate it.

The celebration didn't last long, and the staff quickly got back into the hustle and bustle.

Tens of minutes later, it flew to the satellite that was scheduled to be parked in orbit, ignited a small booster engine, and began to accelerate around the predetermined angle to do the final sprint.

At this time, the satellite in the depths of the starry sky, while sprinting, began to spew out small air currents from several angles to fine-tune its attitude more precisely.

It must be completely parked in a synchronous orbit in an exact attitude.
