Chapter Seventy-Six: Launch
Just as Gu Xia was looking at the satellite in the distance through the glass, a person wearing a dustproof suit walked out of the small door next to him.
"Chief, you're finally here."
Fu Changhui's tone of surprise made Gu Xia hear that he, like himself, wanted to see this satellite take off.
"Here, how's it going? How long will it take to take off? ”
"The basic inspection has been completed, and now the second inspection is being done, and when this time is over, the satellite can be sent to the silo for launch, and the launch vehicle has also been tested, and there are no problems at all."
Fu Changhui took off his hood and stretched out his finger to the side.
"Chief, why don't you come with me to the office, let's talk over there about specific things."
Gu Xia nodded, and left with Fu Changhui.
"What are the functions of this satellite, I haven't asked you before."
Sitting on the chair, Gu Xia turned his head to Fu Changhui, who was still busy pouring water, and asked.
Fu Changhui put the cup on the table and said: "The main function of this satellite is to monitor the surface situation, and the reason why it has survived to the present is precisely because it does not have much military value, so it has not been used in wartime." ”
"But don't be disappointed, chief, this so-called doesn't have much military value, it was placed in the current situation, if it is placed in the current situation, just being able to monitor the surface situation is already a very good function."
"With it, we can carry out large-scale exploration and scanning of the surface, and all the forces on the surface are nowhere to hide in front of the satellite, and we can use it to quickly solve those scattered forces, so that Chang'an Star can be unified as soon as possible."
After becoming the vice minister of scientific research of Beilian, Fu Changhui's thinking has also undergone a great change.
If it had been before, he would definitely not have been able to say these words, after all, everything in Chang'an Star belongs to the Interstellar Federation, and in the depths of his thinking, the Star Alliance will always have ownership of Chang'an Star.
But after knowing that the Star Federation chose to give up Chang'an Star in the peaceful period after the defeat because of the high cost of reconstruction, and also abandoned the people here, Fu Changhui's mind changed.
He doesn't have to work hard for such a regime that can abandon himself and the people of a planet at any time, on the contrary, even if he chooses to overthrow him, it is not too much.
It's just a pity that the current Chang'an Star has not yet been unified, and there is no spacecraft that can fly out of the atmosphere, so it is not capable of fighting against the Star Alliance, and even they don't even know where the Star Alliance is now.
In this way, I can only put aside my previous thoughts for the time being, make efforts for the development of Beilian wholeheartedly, and strive to return to space earlier.
"Don't worry, I already knew some things before, this satellite is already very good for us now, communication, ground monitoring and other functions are what we need now, and we will consider other functions when we make satellites in the future."
"The top priority now is to launch this satellite, and what Beilian needs to solve now is a problem from scratch, rather than developing from one to a bigger problem."
Gu Xia's thinking is very clear, he knows that things like space exploration cannot be achieved overnight, and only one step at a time can he go steadily and quickly.
"By the way, how long will it take for this satellite to be launched?"
"Counting the time required for all the processes, in another half a month, it can definitely be launched, that is, I hope that the launch site is ready, and the rocket cannot be launched without the launch site."
Fu Changhui groped his beard and said.
"This rest assured, although the surface launch site is still under construction, but according to your requirements, an underground launch site with the underground facility has been renovated, and the debris and soil accumulated above have also been cleaned up."
"When the time comes, you can just send the things over, and I'll send the robots over to help."
Therefore Xia has already made full preparations, after all, this is the first satellite of Beilian, so Xia is also very concerned.
"That's good, now this satellite and its carrier rocket can be launched using silos because of their small size, and those large satellites will have to go to the surface in the future, but if you can build a spacecraft that can break through the atmosphere, then the follow-up satellites don't need to be launched with rockets, just put them on the spacecraft."
"Don't be ambitious, take it one step at a time."
……
This is a day when the wind and snow are stagnant, maybe I know that Beilian is going to launch a rocket, God is very face-saving, today is a rare day without snow.
Gu Xia took almost all the people of Beilian and stood on the mobile city, ready to watch the scene when the rocket took off.
And hundreds of kilometers away from the base, the standing army that received the news also ended the day's march early, set up tents, gathered at the top of the building, and looked in the direction of Beilian.
In the satellite monitoring room of the underground facility, Fu Changhui sat nervously in his seat, with a huge screen in front of him, and more colleagues who were nervously sticking to their jobs.
Although this is not the first time he has participated in this kind of launch work, it is definitely the most intense.
In the past, the launches were basically carried out under good conditions, with a large number of supporting equipment and auxiliary personnel, and they were only one of the countless operators.
But now, he has become the one who leads them, and the pressure on him can be imagined.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Changhui knew that somewhere on the surface, the chief who had been supporting him was watching here, waiting for the rocket to take off.
Suppress the apprehension in your heart, at this time, you are everyone's guts, and you must not be cowardly.
"Everyone, check your working area one last time, launch countdown, thirty minutes!"
……
"Yang Miao, what do you think will happen this time?"
So Xia tilted his head and asked, now he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, before the launch ended, no one knew the ending.
"No problem...... Although I don't know very much, they are all high-level talents, and they must be fine. ”
After speaking, Yang Miao and Gu Xia glanced at each other, and both of them laughed.
"Wait."
So Xia turned his gaze back to his place and continued to wait.
Suddenly, there was a flash of fire in the sky, then a roar, and then a streamlined thing slowly appeared in the sky.
It grew faster and faster, making an arc into the air, making it impossible to see.
Therefore Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of exhalation seemed incomparably small in the cheers around him, and the people of Blue River City and Beilian had already fallen into the joy of a successful launch.
