"Prince Switan, Director of the Abel Space Agency: Since Mecca is in good condition, it can go to the Tiangong space station at any time"

The current Mecca is still docked on the Sheila space station, but according to King Hamand's instructions, if Abel's old friend Lin Ju needs any help, the Mecca must immediately and unconditionally provide any help within its capacity.

At the same time, Lucia and ISS also said that two Soyuz spacecraft are on standby for the Progress's Yao-6 mission.

Together with Xinyuan itself and the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft of the Tiangong space station, there are a total of three space shuttles and three spacecraft from four countries/organizations that can rescue Progress......

This may set a record for the world's most luxurious launch lineup, at least Lin Ju himself didn't find his trio so interesting.

In fact, Lao Ma originally wanted to send it, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.

The second-generation manned Dragon spacecraft is not up to standard, and the first-generation Dragon spacecraft that was urgently renovated last time is a helpless choice, so it will not be taken out and embarrassed.

NACA has long noticed the three space shuttles on standby at the Qiongzhou launch site, and this still needs to be rescued?

The China Space Agency has no such plans, and after the launch of Shenzhou 11, they did not build the Shenzhou 12 spacecraft according to the usual practice, which is too expensive, so it is better to use the Long March 7 to build a new spacecraft in the future.

At this time, it was already 8:30, and the number of people watching the launch through TV and online platforms had exceeded 100 million, most of which were not for Lin Ju, but for Commander Li Wei.

Many people who watched the live launch of Shenzhou 5 were already in tears when they saw Li Wei wearing a white spacesuit again.

The latter didn't have time to think so much at this time, and his strong mental quality made Li Wei quickly press the switch and complete the last combination self-test before takeoff.

"01 report, self-test passed."

"02 report, all indicators are normal, and the status of the spacesuit is normal."

"The Yuanwang-2 radar is normal."

"The TT&C of the Jingwei smart network is normal."

“……”

Guo Shen listened to the reports of many parties, his eyes were glued to the data on the screen, and the current state of each part of the rocket was in his mind, and after listening, he lowered his head and said:

"Crew, you can pull off your mask."

In the crew compartment, Lin Ju touched the handle connected to the mask with his hand, pulled down hard, and then rotated the locking mechanism under the ear after hearing the sound of "card rubbing".

The other ear that was not wearing a headset immediately felt the sound isolation, and at the same time, a capable and clear female voice sounded from inside the spacesuit:

"The spacesuit has been sealed, and the inspection has passed!"

The sound is not very good, but it is fast and articulating clearly, and the timbre quickly attracts attention.

For the remaining 30 minutes, Lin Ju turned off the screen, no longer accepted external messages except for the launch control center, closed his eyes for two or three seconds and opened them, looking at the earth and ocean outside the porthole.

He doesn't know how many people in this world have been reborn, but he should be one of the earliest people who can enter space after being reborn, right?

Whether it is money, fame, or status, it seems so powerless in the face of space.

"Zhuangzi": "Next to the sun and the moon, the universe, for its coincidence." At this time, "universe" refers to all space, and "universe" refers to all time.

2,300 years ago, Zhuangzi's understanding of the universe was a combination of time and space, and he already had the concept of time and space, which is in line with today's scientific understanding of the universe.

Then there was "Corpse": "The upper and lower four directions are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe." "Wenzi Nature" also said: "In ancient times, it is called the universe, and the four directions are called the universe." ”

The universe, the name alone makes people feel ethereal.

Lin Ju suddenly remembered a long memory, when Xinyuan Tractor Factory was first established, he built the first self-produced 40-horsepower crawler tractor in the local area to adapt to the local environment.

Progress was also built on the site of the original tractor factory, and his body has inherited genes.

Scenes from the past flashed through my mind, some from a long time ago and some from just happened.

By the time he came back to his senses, it was only three minutes before launch.

Each of the seven engines wiggled slightly a few times under the camera to confirm that all the control mechanisms were fine.

On the beach, in front of the TV, in front of the mobile phone, in front of the computer, hundreds of millions of people watched the live broadcast.

Lin Ju and Li Wei were shown in close-ups from time to time lying on the C-shaped unloading chairs, but neither of them had much expression on their faces.

The former actually counted the time silently in his heart, and Lin Ju learned a useful skill during astronaut training: estimating time, and the error is not large.

When he counted to the thirteenth second, he knew he was counting fast.

"Countdown, fifteen seconds!"

The announcer's voice came to the ears clearly, and it also flew to the afterworld outside the tower through the electric current.

In the International Space Station, 13 astronauts from various countries also gathered separately to pay attention to the launch.

"Ten."

When Lin Ju shouted out the number in a small voice, there were 260,000 people on the beach outside the launch site, and hundreds of millions of people shouted out in front of the media terminal.

At the same time, hundreds of tons of water began to be sprayed into the tail of the rocket, rushed through the engine nozzle and flowed into the deflector trough.

"Nine, eight, seven, six, start ignition."

The six liquid oxygen methane engines in the outer ring began to fire in pairs, and even through the water curtain, people could see the red light coming from behind them, and when they all ignited, the countdown was just counting to one.

“…… One, engine No. 1 ignition! ”

In the camera frame pointed at the launch pad, everything is enveloped by a sudden brightening white light, and then the live broadcast screen switches to the launch tower.

Driven by seven liquid oxygen methane engines with a ground thrust of up to 227KN, the rocket body of Xinyuan 2 began to tremble, and the four connectors connecting the rocket body were disengaged at the same time and quickly recovered.

The vibration of the rocket was transmitted to the crew compartment, and Lin Ju got goosebumps all over his body with the trembling of the rocket, and more than once, he looked at Li Wei diagonally above, and the other party just put his hands flat on the armrests and could not see the front.

The overload experienced on the centrifuge is applied to the body, but the blood still flows smoothly as the spacesuit automatically begins to pressurize and the legs are mechanically compressed.

The thrust-to-weight ratio of Xinyuan 2 is relatively low, only about 1.2, which will make the acceleration phase slower and feel the overload longer, but the advantage is that the load coefficient is relatively high, and it has reached 3.5% in the case of reusability.

And not only Xinyuan 2, but all the rockets of Xinyuan have maintained high capacity and low thrust weight in order to be recoverable, in exchange for a larger, longer and more powerful launch scene.

Three kilometers away, a CBS expatriate reporter stood sideways in front of the camera with a microphone in hand, revealing the Xinyuan-2 rocket shining behind him.

“and lifted off the X2！ Two of the world's most important humans have left the surface and are ascending into space! ）”
