Chapter 1206: Liftoff
"Are you ready?" asked Ren Baqian.
"Of course, we have been preparing for this day. Now it's our turn to shock the world!" said the person in charge of the rocket base with a confident smile, his chin slightly raised, looking a little arrogant and complacent.
As a professional, he has this qualification at this time.
"Let's start your show as planned, kick off this grand opening for us, and today you are the protagonists. Ren Baqian is not stingy with praise.
This group of science and technology volunteers who do not seek fame or profit, no matter how much I praise them, I can't praise them too much.
Provided, of course, that they are not lazy.
Otherwise, is your neck stiff or is my forty-meter-long broadsword unfast?
So far, they've done a very satisfying job.
Although the progress is not as fast as I thought, this is science, and you always have to take it step by step, even if you know how to fly, you have to make yourself able to reach that foundation.
Half a month has passed in a flash, and today is the day when the rocket will be launched.
At the rocket base, which was seven or eight hours away from the imperial capital, many of Da Yao's bigwigs gathered here, even if they didn't understand how meaningful this launch was.
"Erhua doesn't seem to be able to come back. Ren Baqian turned around and walked to the empress's side and said.
"Oh. The empress replied lightly, not paying much attention. In fact, the empress is only a little bit better than Tong Zhenye and others.
The empress at least knows that with satellites, it is much easier to surf the Internet and watch TV series.
"Erhua actually wants to witness history. Ren Baqian didn't care about the empress's reaction, and said casually. "Although I was in a hurry, I ran into some trouble. ”
"Who else dares to trouble her?" said the empress with a slight surprise.
"That's right, I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree...... Erhua encountered a road robber and broke her carriage, and she lost her temper. Ren Baqian chatted with the empress as if he was gossiping.
This is really unexpected.
Even Xia Yonghe was subdued, but Erhua encountered a thief cutting the path on the way back, and the other party directly cut down the tree, and Erhua's carriage was too fast and collided directly.
It's like a joke.
"But there are benefits, at least it taught her a lesson. Ren Baqian grinned.
"It's cool to be speeding for a while, and it's always cool to be speeding all the time!"
The empress rolled her eyes, others may not have noticed anything when they heard this, but the empress has been on the earth for a long time.
"You don't seem to be on your mind for today's liftoff, and I thought it was important to you. The empress said.
Ren Baqian nodded: "Your Majesty, you are right, it is indeed very important. ”
"I believe in them, and even if they fail, it's not a big deal, it's just a little delay. We are on the right path, even if we fail once, as long as we can find the problem, then we will succeed next time. ”
"What can this thing do in the heavens?" asked Tong Zhenye as he approached Ren Baqian and the empress.
He had no idea what to do about it.
Although this thing seems to be very powerful in the sky, even the fact that it has a plane does not surprise him too much.
Ren Baqian thought about how to explain to Tong Zhenye Lao Bangzi, and finally said: "In the future, every time you go to the Qinglou, I will know immediately." ”
"Now you know. Tong Zhenye pursed his lips, then thought of something, and his eyes widened: "You mean this thing can be monitored?"
"This can't be, but as long as this time is successful, the next satellite will be able to do it. ”
"In other words, every time you go to the Qinglou, Your Majesty immediately knows?" Tong Zhenye made a shocked look, his face full of undisguised schadenfreude.
Ren Baqian glanced at him, his teeth were a little itchy, this old thing, can you still chat?
And is the empress someone who cares about such a thing?
That's right, she is.
But she's not the one who keeps an eye on the surveillance every day, and she's the one in charge of it.
The crowd chatted for an hour, and thousands of miles away, many students from Zizhu Academy were also watching the live broadcast of the rocket launch in the classroom.
For Da Yao, for the world, this is a big deal.
The old guys in the court don't understand the meaning of the rocket, but the students in the school do.
Throughout the day, these students were excited.
Even if the picture is always a rocket standing there, there is no movement at all.
They understand the significance of this rocket, and Da Yao has finally taken an important step in exploring this world.
Even if not everyone of them knows about the existence of alien races, does not know about rockets, and the military value that satellites represent.
But for them, this rocket represents Da Yao's scientific and technological strength, represents Da Yao's important step, and represents their future.
In addition to them, many street corners in the imperial capital were also live-streamed, but not many people watched, and most people didn't understand the meaning of the iron cylinder standing there without moving at all.
No one explained this to them.
As the preparation entered the end, the countdown was about to end, and the surroundings of Ren Baqian gradually quieted down.
Although most people don't know the significance of rockets, it doesn't prevent them from knowing that Prince Zhao attaches great importance to it, which shows that this thing is extremely useful.
As the last time came, when the time reached the last moment, Ren Baqian looked at the button in front of him that was held in the hand of the staff and pressed it hard.
"Start, ignition. Ren Baqian said in a deep voice.
With the sound, whether it was behind the huge glass in the base, or on the streets of the Zizhu Academy and the Imperial Capital thousands of miles away, everyone saw the rocket that had been standing there all along, spewing orange flames.
Although they didn't know how big the rocket was, they could still guess the size of the rocket by comparing it with the other buildings in the camera.
With the thrust of the flames, the rocket began to gradually rise into the air.
"It's flying!" cheered the young people in the Zizhu Academy.
The slender Tonglan sat on the window, looking at the mirror image in the picture, listening to the cheers coming from afar, and pursed her lips slightly.
She felt that if she put this thing in her hands, she could do it.
Despite this, watching the rocket on the screen gradually leave the ground and soar into the sky, Tonglan was also a little fascinated.
That's what she's supposed to do.
"Ignition successful!"
"The rocket lifted off and everything went according to plan, no problems. ”
"The first section begins to disengage, and the second node fires. ”
With the chaotic sounds around him, Ren Baqian always looked up.
At the moment, it looks like they're doing a good job.
"It worked. It wasn't until half an hour later, when the rocket gradually broke out of the atmosphere and began to enter the expected orbit, that the base began to thunder with joy and excitement.
After several years of hard work, it was finally done.
But this is just the beginning, the next step is to send satellites into the sky.
And this rocket, in a few hours, will fall.
The near-star orbit reached by the rocket is not a complete vacuum, and there is still thin air, and after the centrifugal force is reduced, it will be brought back to the purple star by the gravitational force of the planet.
It doesn't matter, though.
The world is so big, God knows where it will fall.
After all, inexperience.
......
According to historical records, on the eve of the 346th Chinese New Year's Eve of Great Xia, a meteor fell from the sky and fell into the palace.
The palace was damaged and there were several casualties.
Xia Huang: We were attacked by Da Yao! What does Qi Zixiao want to do?
This wreck clearly has the style of Dayao!
