Chapter 196: Cradle Leaves Mother
"Yuanwang 2, radar tracking is normal."
"Dongfeng, optical USB radar tracking is normal."
"Latitude and longitude tracking telemetry is normal."
"Program Turn!"
The passwords were transmitted to Lin Ju's ears through the radio, which he had heard dozens of times and even participated in in it himself.
Even if he didn't think about it, when these words came to his mind, he could imagine the attitude and position of the rocket.
Seven liquid oxygen methane engines can spray about 6 tons of fuel per second, and after about a minute, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the rocket exceeds 1.5, and then the fuel in the first stage is getting less and less, but the acceleration is getting higher and higher.
At this time, the ground can already see the obvious sonic boom cloud in the middle of the rocket body after Xinyuan-2 broke through the sound barrier, it is like a wreath wrapped around the rocket body, and the nose of the Progress will divert the air, surging along the streamlined junction to the annular sonic boom cloud and then spreading, like a bullet shot into the water.
In the live broadcast screen, the three people in the crew compartment of the Progress all looked calm, but their faces were slightly deformed due to overload.
The most calm is still Li Wei, he is always confident and composed, at this time he still remembers his identity as the commander, and is ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.
Time passed little by little, almost close to three minutes, a command came from the ground, the first stage of the Xinyuan No. 2 rocket began to reduce thrust, and then the explosion bolt detonated, and the live broadcast screen was transferred to the interstage camera, and I saw the scene of the first stage rocket lying backwards and lying away.
Aramco, District of Columbia.
NACA Director Claire left her chair disappointed, the first stage rocket had successfully sent Progress out of the atmosphere, and the launch had been successful.
Even if there is an accident with the second stage rocket, the remaining safety measures will be enough to keep the shuttle safe.
Although from the perspective of astronauts, they should respect any manned launch in the world, but the pressure on them is too great.
The Xinyuan 2A and Xinyuan 3 rockets are a spike that is deeply rooted in the Artemis project, and it is Claire's nightmare that she can't sleep after tossing and turning.
In particular, both rockets are consumable, and it only takes 40 days at most to be ready for maintenance, and it is unimaginable that a rocket of this class has such a frequency of launches.
If NACA could use these two rockets, it would dare to complete the entire Artemis program within a year!
As long as Lin Ju is killed, the huge and complex structure of Xinyuan Company alone will be chaotic for a long time due to the loss of its leader, and the Artemis Project will definitely face much less pressure.
Claire knew that some people had thought about whether to use certain means to create a little "accident", but Li Wei's attitude towards Huaguo as the commander was very clear, this was almost impossible, and the probability of exposure was too high.
Of course, the crew of the Progress didn't know that anyone was trying to do wrong to them, but even if they knew, it didn't matter, this kind of brazenness in the world had never happened even in the Cold War, and it was far from that kind now.
On the space shuttle at this time, with the detachment of the first level, Lin Ju instantly felt that his body was light, and all the loads that originally acted on his body disappeared, and the still tight unloading chair and pressurized spacesuit made him a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
But the life-sustaining system did not move, because at this time the two-stage rocket assembly was slightly correcting its direction.
In the interval of these few seconds, Lin Ju still took the time to say a word:
"Mother Earth shook the cradle a few more times, and now, the cradle is out of Mother's arms"
Although Lin Ju could no longer speak because of the start of the H50 engine in the second stage, many people still reacted.
What Lin Ju said is likely to be the strong vibration caused by the acceleration of the first-stage rocket when the rocket is launched, if this is compared to a cradle...... It can only be said that Mother Earth is indeed quite strong.
Obviously, this phrase will become a classic.
The acceleration of the second stage lasted about 5 minutes, because the take-off mass of Progress was only half of the Xinyuan-2 LEO load, so it was faster.
The lonely and expensive H50 hydrogen-oxygen engine finally pushed the Progress hard, stepped on the back path of the first-stage rocket, and crashed into the atmosphere.
It took about 9 minutes for Progress to successfully enter low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 390 km, and it is expected to catch up with the Tiangong space station and dock in 3 hours.
In the passenger cabin, the pressure on the body and the restraint on the legs slowly dissipated, and Lin Ju suddenly felt that there was something like a billiard ball on the back of the chair and legs that was constantly rolling around - exactly the same as a massage chair.
Don't get me wrong, this is the special function of the unloading chair, which relaxes the meridians, reduces the discomfort of sudden disappearance of the load, strengthens blood flow, and reduces lactic acid due to muscle tension.
At the same time, a greeting from the ground came to the headset.
"01, this is Qiongzhou, please report your physical condition."
Li Wei looked at the camera with a smile and said the classic words: "I feel good, I am proud of my motherland." ”
The repeated words after thirteen years made the control room burst into fierce applause, and the big guy had tears in his eyes, remembering the glory of the launch of Shenzhou 5 that year.
And in front of the TV, many elderly people were also awakened to their first memories, as if they had also returned to that year.
Xiao Okada, who was not yet 30 years old at that time, saw Li Wei, as a representative of Asians, fly into space on an Asian spaceship, and made up his mind to make achievements in aerospace, and since then he has strengthened his confidence.
He also believes that this launch will convince all the people of the island countries that the hope of the Asians is in China, and that Asianism can revitalize the glory of the Asians!
And in the sky, a voice suddenly sounded in Lin Rongguang Torch's mind.
[It was detected that the host used the rocket and space shuttle manufactured by the system base to complete a space mission, and entered the low earth orbit of the terrestrial planet No. 1149527514, with two crew members, an orbital altitude of 390KM, a total spacecraft mass of 21.65 tons, and a technical rating: Class C.
Achievement: Open your eyes to the world (As a leader in a space business, how can you not see space with your own eyes?) )
Earn Honorary Titles: Junior Adventurer (awarded by breaking out of Jupiter's atmosphere with a primitive and dangerous rocket) Medal: Gold Star Medal (worn by Brezhnev and will be sent to the system inventory to unlock more medals to get 'You Drop Medal!') 'Title)
Congratulations on completing an important hidden mission, the host's performance proves his courage and conviction to go to space, and special rewards will be given:
A+ Rank (Legendary Edition) Character Card*1
