"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Zero!!!!!

In the countdown to the joint shouts of the commander of the space flight control center and the onlookers at the launch site, the Long March-2F carrier rocket ignited on time.

In an instant, the tail nozzle of the rocket burst into dazzling fire, and the rocket fuel composed of nitrogen tetroxide and metamethylhydrazine instantly released extremely powerful chemical energy, and yellow smoke gushed out along the diversion groove.

This was accompanied by a deafening engine sound.

Even though Chen Xin and the others were watching nearly a kilometer away from the transmission tower, their eardrums were also extremely strongly impacted.

Under the powerful thrust of the engine, the Long 2F rocket slowly detached from the launch tower.

In just a few tens of seconds, the rocket rose to nearly a thousand meters in the air, and it began to turn gradually, flying faster and faster.

As the rocket faded away, tourists from afar applauded and cheered loudly to celebrate the success of another manned space flight in China.

Chen Xin also smiled and applauded, after experiencing so many unbelievable events with Gangyi, the manned space flight that could have excited him has become commonplace.

After the rocket lifted off, Chen Xin returned to the hotel accompanied by the guards.

The Great Elder hadn't come back yet, and he didn't need to participate in any more activities, so he was going to finish lunch at the hotel at noon, and then go directly to the DX base and fly the Dream Aerospace Plane out of Jiuquan and heading to Somalia.

Originally, the Great Elder invited him to come to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch the launch of Shenzhou 9 in order to find out the bottom from Chen Xin. Let's see if we can provide technical assistance to China's aerospace aircraft program.

Who would have thought that the result was far beyond his expectations, the two negotiated the purchase agreement of the two aerospace planes on the way, and Chen Xin also promised the Great Elder that the delivery would start in a month, which naturally made the Great Elder overjoyed.

Of course, the premise for China to be able to obtain an aerospace aircraft is that the Chinese government must cooperate with the war situation to jointly develop a space elevator project.

Although there are many risks associated with this project, it will be a success from any point of view. That's definitely good for China.

Chen Xin naturally prepares as quickly as possible.

As for Qiao Ting's question.

Chen Xin came to the door of his room, pushed the door in, and as soon as he raised his head, he was stunned.

A slender figure stood at the window. Maybe you hear the door open. The girl turned her head. smiled at Chen Xinyan.

I don't know when, Qiao Ting took off her military uniform and wore a small white shawl coat. Paired with a knee-length skirt in bright yellow velvet, a pair of crystal heeled sandals on her feet, and her jet-black hair with a natural undulating curve on her shoulders. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.

No way!

Chen Xin felt a sense of amazement in his heart.

In Chen Xin's impression, although Qiao Ting is beautiful, she has always appeared in front of her with a simple, natural, and heroic image, who would have thought that after some dressing, she would be so bright and moving.

Chen Xin was stunned in place, but Qiao Ting walked towards Chen Xin, and finally stopped in front of him, stretched out his hand and said, "Liaison Officer of the Second Department of the General Staff, Qiao Ting." ”

Chen Xin didn't shake hands with Qiao Ting, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Qiao, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Ting pursed her lips and smiled: "Get to know each other, today is our second meeting, and I haven't thanked you for saving your life last time!"

Chen Xin was helpless, so he had to reach out and gently shake Qiao Ting's little hand, and said, "The battle is over, Chen Xin!"

Qiao Ting put her hands behind her back, took two steps back, sat down on the sofa very ladylikely, and looked at Chen Xin with a smile.

Chen Xin was a little unaccustomed to Qiao Ting's expression, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Qiao, this ...... I'm sorry for the concealment, but I'm probably going to leave and go back to Somalia in a minute, and I made some agreements with the Grand Elder yesterday that I need to deal with right away. ”

Qiao Ting picked up the kun bag on the sofa and said, "Okay, then let's go together!"

Chen Xin was slightly stunned and said, "Xiao Qiao, ...... are you?"

Qiao Ting took out a document from Kun's bag and handed it to Chen Xindao: "You see, this is my letter of appointment, in the future, I will officially become the liaison officer of the Chinese government stationed in the war bureau, and I have the authority to report directly to the Great Elder, so if you go to Somalia, I must go with me." ”

Chen Xin was dumbfounded.

Just when the atmosphere in the room seemed a little weird, the phone in the hotel suddenly rang.

This hotel belongs to the military, and almost all high-ranking military and political officials who come to visit the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center will stay at this hotel, so this call must be to find Chen Xin.

Chen Xin was slightly stunned and looked at Qiao Ting.

Qiao Ting shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know who called, you can take it." ”

Chen Xin picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who one?"

The voice of the Great Elder rang on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Chen, you came to the flight command center, and a car has been sent to pick you up." ”

The Great Elder's tone was solemn, and Chen Xin said, "Okay, I'll go over right away." ”

Qiao Ting was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xindao: "The Great Elder called, asking me to go to the space flight command center now, I estimate what happened." ”

"Then I'll go with you. ”

……

When he arrived at the flight command hall of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the staff at the scene were busy nervously, most of the people looked solemn, Chen Xin glanced at the big screen, which showed that Shenzhou 9 was in the transfer orbit, and he didn't know what was going on.

The Great Elder was in a small conference room at the back of the command center hall, surrounded by a circle of people, and a group of aerospace experts were saying something to the Great Elder.

Seeing Chen Xin coming, the Great Elder said, "Xiao Chen, come and have a look." ”

The crowd looked at Chen Xin one after another, separated a way, and let Chen Xin in.

Some people had never seen Chen Xin, and they didn't know where this young man was sacred, but he was so valued by the Great Elder, and they immediately got together to talk about it.

As for those who know or know the ability to fight the situation, most of them are happy, as if as long as Chen Xin comes out, no matter what problems they encounter, they can solve them.

Chen Xin came to the Great Elder's side and asked, "Chief, what happened?"

The Great Elder pointed to a middle-aged man in his fifties on his right and said, "This is Academician Zhou Heping, the chief engineer of my country's manned space project, Zhou Gong, come and talk to Xiao Chen." ”

Zhou Heping didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to the specific situation first." Fifteen minutes ago, the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft completed the deployment of solar sail panels, and just entered the transfer orbit at an altitude of 145 kilometers, when it encountered a wave of extremely high-speed space debris, Shenzhou-9 was damaged by Yanzhòng, but fortunately, the spacecraft's air-tight cabin was not damaged much, and our astronauts were fine. Now Shenzhou 9's engine system and power system have been severely damaged, and the central computer has also suffered unknown damage, making it impossible to separate the return capsule from the power module and the orbital module, and start the emergency return program to Earth. And the backup power has been exhausted, the spacecraft has lost contact with us, if it continues to run at the current speed, Shenzhou 9 will fall into the atmosphere in two days, and the power compartment still has a considerable amount of fuel stored, and there is a high probability of explosion at that time, and the three astronauts have no chance of survival. ”

The Great Elder said, "Xiao Chen, do you have any good ideas?"

Everyone looked at Chen Xin with expectant eyes.

Chen Xin thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "There is a way, but I can't guarantee that it will succeed." ”

Chen Xin didn't say it all, although it was very simple to save Shenzhou 9, just let the steel hammer enter the spacecraft, repair the computer system and power system, and let the spacecraft have the ability to change orbit independently, and then start the return program.

But after all, there are astronauts in the spacecraft, and such a blatant action can easily expose the storage of the steel hammer, so after careful consideration, Chen Xin still chose to use another method to solve the problem.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "It's good if there is a way, no matter what, we will definitely have to try." (To be continued......)
