Tonight Will Be a Day
Christmas Eve.
As one of the most fashionable cities in China, the New Year's Eve had arrived early in Eastern Sea City.
The New Year's Eve fireworks show on the Bund had already begun. If you went to the store to buy " Vanilla," the store owner would no longer think that you were going to buy chewing gum. Instead, they would tell you that they were " sold out."
The more enthusiastic ones would also tell you that this flavor would be sold out every year. The mint flavor was actually very good, and it lasted longer than the vanilla flavor.
Across the river from the Bund was the Beitan Peninsula, which was far less glamorous and even a little dilapidated.
This was the former industrial base of Eastern Sea City. In recent years, due to environmental considerations, all the factories had moved, leaving only large areas of factory buildings and some dilapidated dormitory buildings.
There were no more residents in the dormitory building, including the entire Beitan Peninsula. No one would stay in this abandoned land and wait for the bulldozers to arrive at any time. They had already blended into the fashion and prosperity of Eastern Sea City.
This was a festive season for the entire nation. Some people were firing cannons, some were firing cannons, and some were firing cannons.
A huge firecracker was erected on top of the blast furnace of the former Eastsea Steel Plant.
It looked like a cannon, but it was a little big. It was more than ten meters tall and fifty centimeters thick.
The outer shell of the Soaring Cannon was assembled with various pipes left behind in the factory. There were five words casually painted on it in white paint. If anyone could see these words, their eyes would probably fall out.
" Sunsky Rocket!
Yes, the scientific name of this Soaring Cannon was a rocket. However, its appearance was too childish, so childish that no one would think that it could really fly.
There was probably a 99.99% chance that the fire would explode on the spot, bringing the person who lit it up with him.
As for the hero who was about to start the fire, there was a young man standing next to the Sun.
His name was Qin Tian. The abandoned factory in front of him was actually his property.
He stared at the laptop in his hand, which was displaying the launch program of the Solar System. There was a row of rapidly jumping numbers on it.
This was the launch window.
Rocket launch had an extremely strict launch window. It had to take into account the relationship between the sun, the earth, and the moon, as well as the solar wind, climate, and many other factors.
The upcoming launch window would be the best launch window in the second half of the year!
Following a beep, a line of words suddenly flashed across the screen.
" The optimal launch window is now open!"
"The temperature and humidity are normal!"
"Air pressure normal!"
"Wind speed is 1.1 meters per second.”
"Do you wish to initiate launch sequence? Please confirm!”
On the top of the blast furnace, a few small sensors were installed on the top of the steel frame that served as the launcher. These data would be transmitted to the computer in real time, including wind speed, temperature, and the level of static electricity in the air.
Qin Tian took a deep breath and pressed the " confirm " button.
"Five seconds to launch!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Light the fire!"
"Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded. A large ball of flames suddenly spewed out from the bottom of the Sun, and the entire blast furnace began to shake.
As the surrounding temperature rose sharply, the 10.2-meter-tall arrow also began to leave the ground, dragging a long tail of flames as it accelerated rapidly!
It pierced straight into the sky!
In just ten seconds, the Solar Sky was so high that it could not be seen at all. Only the program on the computer was still faithfully recording the current state of the rocket.
"Altitude 3000 meters, speed 340 meters per second, breaking the sound barrier, star arrow normal!”
"Altitude 10000, speed 780, star arrow normal!”
"Altitude: 21000, speed: 1200. First-stage rocket separated. The wreckage is expected to land in the eastern part of the East China Sea! Second stage rocket ignition successful!"
"Altitude 65000, speed 3400, entering the ionosphere!”
Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. The rocket used for this launch, as well as the launch procedure, were all completed by him alone. This was a huge and arduous project.
When a rocket was launched, it was most afraid of crosswinds, which would cause the rocket to reverse and even cause damage to components such as the tail.
The largest side wind came from the stratosphere above the troposphere and below the ionosphere. The stratosphere maintained a cross wind of about 60 meters per second all year round. This was already an F3 hurricane that could blow down houses and overturn cars.
The successful entry into the ionosphere meant that the most dangerous moment had passed. Unless there was a problem with the Sun, it would be difficult for the outside world to affect it.
If there were no other irresistible factors, the rocket would accelerate to 7800 in 20 seconds and break through the ionosphere into low-Earth orbit 140 kilometers above the ground.
Then, the explosive bolt detonated, and the fairing and the second-stage rocket fell off. At the same time, the satellite's attitude adjustment engine ignited and began to orbit around the Earth.
This was the purpose of Qin Tian launching this self-made rocket.
He was going to launch a satellite!
A satellite that belonged to him!
