Dragon Country, Nanhai Province, Wenchang Rocket Launch Center.
It was already ten o'clock at night.
The launch center was still brightly lit.
Rows of vehicles carrying various rocket parts drove in.
The special ropes that were pulling up the parts were working.
None of the staff dared to slack off.
Because they were about to complete a great undertaking that had never been achieved in human history--launching a space base weighing 800 tons into low-Earth orbit.
Once it succeeded, the Dragon Country would use this base to enter the Moon and Mars as their base and seize the resources of the alien planets. They would be able to whip the countries under the dome and become the world's number one military power.
In the control room.
More than 3,000 researchers looked haggard and yellow. They had thick dark circles under their eyes. At first glance, they looked like monks who had gone mad.
In the past 100 days, they had been cut off from their loved ones and isolated from the world. It was as if they had disappeared overnight.
They also wanted to see their families, but they had the burden of the Republic on their shoulders.
Their eyes were like sharp swords as they firmly guarded the 16-inch screen in front of them.
They were all waiting for an order.
This order came from the chief designer and commander of the rocket launch, Lin Bei.
"The Wenchang Rocket Launch Center's latitude is 18 degrees. Compared to the Nine Springs Rocket Launch Center, it can save about 10% of the fuel.”
" Saturn V consumes an average of 2.07 million kilograms of fuel and sends 140,000 kilograms of heavy objects into low-Earth orbit. The fuel consumption ratio is about 14:1.”
" The new solid rocket fuel can double this ratio to 7:1.。”
"Even so, to transport nearly 800 tons of space base at once, we still need 5600 tons of fuel, which is about 1.12 billion. This is just the cost of fuel.”
Lin Bei put down the pen in his hand and looked at the 11 numbers on the paper, deep in thought.
This was the largest scientific research project that Lin Bei had ever handled since he transmigrated and obtained the Great Scientist System.
Hundreds of billions of government funds were invested, hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign researchers were deployed, and more than 30 rocket technologies were invented. Everything was just to realize Lin Bei's dream of becoming a powerful aerospace country.
"Many people don't understand why we have to spend a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to develop aviation. They don't know that outer space is the future of mankind!”
Lin Bei slowly turned the Earth model in front of him with his fingers. Then, he looked at the super rocket that was as big as a building outside the window, and his thoughts flew.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century, Zheng He was ordered to go to the West seven times. He had the world's top fleet, but he did not get any substantial economic benefits. He only had symbolic conquests.
At the same time, Colombus discovered the American continent in a small wooden boat, and Magellan sailed around the world in a sailboat.
From then on, the West started the era of great navigation and rapidly expanded to the world. They established colonial bases and entered the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance, the Religious Revolution, and the Second Industrial Revolution, completely widening the gap between their national strength and the Dragon Country.
In the history of the Dragon Country, because they missed the strategic opportunity of this great geographical discovery, they established a painful pattern of humiliation in the modern history of the past hundred years.
Now, a new geographical discovery was placed in front of all countries in the world.
The Dragon Country had no reason to refuse, and it would definitely be completely revived because of this!
Yuanwang Rocket Transport Ship No. 21:" Reporting to the command room, the tail of the 1,600-ton rocket has arrived at the port!”
" Reporting to the command room. The Kun Peng rocket has been assembled and inspected. It's ready to launch at any time!"”
Dragon Country Weather Information Center: "Reporting to the launch center, total cloud cover 10%, no rain; The wind speed on the ground was 3 meters per second, the horizontal visibility was 50 kilometers, and the wind speed was 10 meters per second. It is estimated that there will be no lightning activity within 30-40 kilometers of the site after the launch!”
001 aircraft carrier: " 001 aircraft carrier battle group is ready. J-20 fighter jet group has been fully deployed. Everything is normal!”
Dragon Country's National Missile Defense System: "Land-based missiles are deployed, mid-course missiles are deployed, anti-missile missiles are deployed, Beidou navigation satellite system is locked, everything is normal!”
The time for the rocket to take off was approaching.
Everything was ready.
Lin Bei was no longer distracted. He stood up from his seat and walked to a red button. He said solemnly,"Rocket launch countdown, 10 seconds, begin!”
At the same time.
A three-meter-long Chinese number "ten" appeared on the big screen.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
……
"Is it about to start?"
"Can that giant really fly?”
"You must succeed!"
"This isn't just a rocket, it also carries the fate of countless people!”
"Hundreds of thousands of people have prepared for a hundred days. There's no reason not to succeed!”
As the countdown began, the 3,000-plus core researchers in the control room tensed up and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
They understood very well.
In the past, every time a satellite was launched, Central TV would carry out a nationwide and even global live broadcast and report.
But today, there was nothing. Nothing at all.
Because the rocket that was going to be launched today would change the entire world.
In order to prevent other countries from having ulterior motives, the higher-ups did not hesitate to use one-third of their national defense forces to ensure that the rocket launch would not be interfered with by external factors.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
At the last second.
At this moment, Lin Bei was not thinking about the stars and the sea. Instead, he was thinking about his wife, Jin Zhongxia, who had just been married for half a year.
It had been six years since they got married.
In the past six years, Jin Zhongxia had been obedient to Lin Bei's words. She had never asked about Lin Bei's matters and had quietly given her gentleness and love behind his back.
Who would have thought that the campus belle goddess of the university would marry a husband who had no house, no car, and rarely returned home after graduation?
In everyone's eyes, with Jin Zhongxia's education and looks, she could have chosen a rich man with a family worth hundreds of billions and lived a carefree life.
In the past hundred days, my wife must have sent me a lot of messages, right?
"After the rocket takes off, I will follow the agreement and come to find you as soon as possible.”
Countless sweet scenes with Jin Zhongxia flashed through Lin Bei's mind.
These exclusive memories had now turned into surging hot blood in Lin Bei's body!
"Zero!"
"Pa!"
Lin Bei's eyes widened as he pressed the red button with the word "Fire" printed on it.
At the launch center.
"Buzz…"
"Boom!"
"Hu chi hu chi!"
"Sob sob-"
"Hehehe ~~~"
The electric current ignited the fire, and the solid fuel exploded. The engine spun crazily like a dragon roaring!
The sky-high flames came down, as if they would break through the screen in the next second and burn any life into ashes.
The glass on the flat table leaked water due to the huge force.
With a " pa " sound, it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Crashing sounds rose and fell.
But no one paid attention to it.
That was because, under everyone's gaze, the super rocket weighing more than 6,000 tons was really launched!
