This time, in addition to the officials of the Ming government and the military, there are also more than a dozen scientific and technological personnel, some of whom they have seen in the aerospace test center last time, and some of them are new faces that they have not seen before, but the difference from last time is that the age of the personnel this time is much older than last time. The www.biquge.info are basically gray-haired, but Zhu Lei doesn't know their specific age, if it is estimated according to the average life expectancy of the previous life, then the age of these people should be around seventy or eighty years old, but considering that the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty is much larger than that of the previous life, the age of these people is at least over ninety years old, and many of them may even be more than 100 years old.

The sky is very open and it begins to darken, and the staff present also began to make the final inspection before the launch, although the people who designed this plasma thruster are the elites of the Ming Empire's aerospace industry, and they have very rich experience and lessons in the design and launch of rockets and other vehicles, although they have great confidence in the launch of the plasma vehicle, but no one dares to guarantee that the launch will be 100% smooth before the probe enters the predetermined orbit in space, so these inspections are necessary, Moreover, the working time and environment of this probe are not comparable to ordinary space vehicles.

It can be said that after entering space, the work of this deep space probe is heavy, the working time is long, and the working environment is harsh, so it is as perfect as possible when it is on the ground.

The time soon came to launch, with the order of the commander of the rocket launch, a huge air flow was emitted from the bottom of the rocket, Zhu Lei knew that this was the plasma thruster that began to work, and then the air flow began to turn red gas and turned white in a blink of an eye, and then the rocket began to rise slowly, and the speed of rise became faster and faster.

Everyone watched the air flow of the rocket also change from white to green, and as the height of the rocket became higher and higher, the green tail flame of the tail of the rocket became longer and longer, and finally formed a green tail flame hundreds of meters long.

Looking at the disappearing rocket, everyone turned their heads and looked at the rocket's monitoring screen, which was displaying various data and flight attitudes transmitted from various rocket monitoring equipment and tracking equipment and the rocket itself, and there were also animated renderings of the rocket on the screen, as well as the real-time picture of the camera on the rocket.

Radar tracking is normal!

The flight attitude is normal!

Rocket communication is normal!

Data transfer is normal!

As the altitude of the rocket gets higher and higher, all kinds of information transmitted from the rocket's flight path will gradually gather the flight situation of the rocket.

At this time, the National Space Measurement Center in the capital of the Ming Empire was also displaying the same information as the launch site in Zhu Lei's fiefdom, which was due to Zhu Lei's launch and the data and information sharing that began here from the beginning of the launch. At this time, the launch center is also busy, and the personnel here are not Zhu Lei's where to compare, there are hundreds of people looking at the data of the rocket flight on the wall in front of them, these staff members are discussing various data of the rocket from time to time, after all, this is the first time to launch a rocket with traditional power, so the various expressions of these people can be explained very well.

In this measurement center, in addition to the staff here itself, there are also more people from the Ming military and government, as well as people from the royal family, and even because it is night, the current Ming cabinet except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in Zhu Lei's fiefdom site The other cabinet members are now here, not to mention the royal family, even the current emperor of the Ming Empire is also present, and is looking at the data on the screen attentively.

Soon the rocket flew out of the stratosphere to the upper atmosphere, the speed of the rocket has reached more than 30 times the speed of sound, and the rocket is still accelerating, soon the rocket rushed out of the earth's atmosphere, and the speed far exceeded the second cosmic speed, originally at this time the rocket should have abandoned the fairing above, but because the rocket itself is a huge space probe, and the fairing is also made of the best special steel by Zhu Lei He factory The anti-collision armor of the aircraft, So this rocket does not need to abandon the fairing.

Just as the deep space probe flew out of the atmosphere and was about to reach the predetermined orbit, suddenly the whole rocket shook a little, and the flight trajectory of the rocket also changed.

"That's it! How can the rocket deviate from the trajectory for no reason, correct the trajectory, check the condition of the rocket. Seeing this, Zhu Lei was frightened into a cold sweat. The rocket self-test was completed, there was no damage, the radar tracking was normal, and the flight trajectory was normal.

At this time, the military's data was also reported, and this accident was caused by the rocket hitting a miniature spy satellite of a certain country, originally this launch was unwilling to hit this satellite, but because the satellite suddenly changed orbit on the way to the rocket launch, so the rocket will hit the satellite, fortunately, because the shell of this deep space probe is made of special steel, so after the impact only changed his flight trajectory, If it were ordinary aerospace materials, then this launch would definitely end in failure.

Due to the urgency of time, Zhu Lei and others didn't think about it first, and then adjusted the flight trajectory of the rocket first.

The rocket quickly adjusted back, fortunately, because the impact was a microsatellite, and it just happened to hit the fairing with the thickest armor, the impact on the entire detector was not great, but because of this impact, the speed of the rocket decreased a lot, but the plasma engine did not have enough fuel, so the impact on the rocket was not much, it was just a delay of some time.

After readjusting the flight trajectory of the rocket, the rocket soon came out of the atmosphere, and then under the operation of the staff, two doors were opened on both sides of the rocket, and then two huge solar sails stretched out from inside, and then the space probe began to fly around the earth, and the various equipment on the probe also began to work, with the work of various scientific instruments, various cosmic information in near-Earth space began to be transmitted back one after another, at this time everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, Fortunately, this deep space probe is strong enough, otherwise all the efforts this time would have been in vain.

"Do you know which country's spy satellite code was hit this time?" After breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Lei turned his head and asked Zhao Shangshu.

"It's not clear, but the military has launched an investigation, and this satellite is an invisible miniature spy satellite, so even the military is difficult to judge which country this spy satellite is, but there are only a few countries in the world with stealth technology, and I don't think there will be any other countries except the United States that have the ability to launch satellites and have stealth technology." Zhao Shangshu said.
