On October 21, 2007, Xinhua News Agency issued an announcement that the Zhinu-1 manned rocket would be launched on the 23rd and 24th, and the original Earth-Moon orbit exploration would be changed to a lunar exploration.

The slight change in the launch plan has aroused close attention and sensation at home and abroad, and news and scientific research personnel from various countries have flocked to the station, making the inaccessible Dongchang Satellite Base immediately become crowded with people, and various security work has also immediately felt the pressure.

Qin Lan stood on the balcony to feel the refreshing night breeze in this mountainous area, the chirping of autumn insects was not alert to the impending crisis of winter, and the detailed conversation with the two elders throughout the night once again reminded Qin Lan of the dusty past, and the mixed tastes in his heart always felt that it was not a taste, but the figure in his mind somehow Li Jun accounted for most of it, Qin Lan shook his head vigorously, raised his head and drank the red wine in his hand and returned to the house.

In these boring days, boring tasks, and boring positions, Qin Lan felt tired and fell asleep.

In the valley deep in the mountains, the sky is blue and the wind is light, the milky white launch vehicle carries the 2,350-kilogram Weaver 1, and a bright moon hangs between the canopy and the mountains in the distance.

The fire continued to burn in the combustion pool 500 meters from the launch tower. Because the fuel used in the third stage rocket is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and the storage temperature is minus 253 degrees Celsius and minus 186 degrees Celsius respectively, although the fuel tank is designed with a very high level of insulation, the air around the rocket is quickly condensed into water vapor, and in order to prevent freezing, it must be continuously blown off with nitrogen until the last few seconds before launch.

The continuous vaporization of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen at room temperature will make the pressure of the tank higher and higher, and the energy of a grain of sand falling from a height of one meter can cause the explosion of fuel, so it is necessary to relieve pressure while filling.

From the moment the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen begin to be filled minus 8 hours before launch, two special pipelines will continuously introduce the vaporized fuel into the combustion pool and burn it, and the fuel filling will continue until 5 minutes before launch.

"One minute to prepare!" The voice of the commander echoed in the canyon, and after all the pylons were opened, all the operators on the pylons withdrew into the underground bunkers, and on the hillsides around the launch site, in the Dongchang Command Hall, and in the BJ Space Flight Control Center, everyone held their breath.

The 57 cameras on the pylon transmitted every detail of the scene to various points in real time, and the lenses of dozens of media reporters focused on the launch vehicle from multiple directions, and there were crowds of people on multiple viewing platforms at a safe distance of 2.5 kilometers.

“10、9、8、7...... 3, 2, 1, ignition!" At 15:08, the red ignition button on the launch console was pressed down heavily, and the huge sound that broke out instantly pressed down on the mountains, and the 400 tons of water injected in advance into the 40-meter-deep diversion trough instantly turned into water vapor.

"The rocket flies normally!",

"Tracking is normal!",

"Telemetry is normal!"... The satellite launch center belongs to the optical, infrared, and telemetry equipment of each station, and the tracking and control stations in Qingdao, Xiamen, and Kashgar; From the two Yuanwang survey ships in the Pacific Ocean to the four large astronomical radio telescopes of BJ, SH, Kunming, and WLMQ, which were introduced for the first time in spacecraft tracking and control, the tracking and control data were transmitted in real time like a torch relay, and in the 135th second, the first and second stages of the rocket were separated, and in the 253rd second, the fairing was separated; at this time, the rocket had already flown out of the dense atmosphere, and the rumbling sound was still spreading around, and the houses were shaken.

In the 277th second, the second and third stages of the rocket were separated, and in the 609th second, the news came from the Yuanwang survey ship that the three-stage engine was shut down and the star-rocket combination entered the taxiing stage.

In the 1249th second, the third stage was secondarily ignited; At the 1373rd second, the three-stage secondary engine was shut down, and at the 1577th second, when Qi Jianjun's voice sounded in the hall,

"Report the base, report the base, now execute the separation of stars and arrows, now implement the separation of stars and arrows!", the condensed air in the command hall boiled all of a sudden, shaking hands, hugging, cheering, congratulating, everyone's eyes flashed with tears, and suddenly Qi Jianjun's voice sounded again,

"Report the base, report the base, UFOs ahead, UFOs ahead!",

"Report, report, can't avoid, can't avoid!", the laughter in the command hall solidified again, countless pairs of eyes stared at the big screen tightly, 1978 seconds, the video and audio signals in the command hall disappeared, and information came from various monitoring points one after another, Weaver Girl 1 has lost contact because the orbit cannot be corrected, collided with suspected space junk!
