“10，9，8....... 3, 2, 1, ignite!"
Following the commander's order, Su Yu personally pressed the rocket launch button.
Although the control room was still a certain distance away from the launch field, Su Yu and the others also felt a slight vibration.
On the screen, intense exhaust flames burst out from the bottom of Dragon.
Due to the intense light, the bottom of the ship seemed to have exploded.
However, no one was surprised.
This was why the Heavenly Dragon was so advanced. Its engine used high-frequency explosions to create thrust!
........
A minute ago, Dragon Media's live broadcast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the official launch time is getting closer and closer. There's still one minute left!”
The host, Bin Bin, was also very excited. At this time, white smoke had started to rise from the bottom of the Heavenly Dragon rocket.
It was caused by the cooling liquid used to cool the rocket fuel.
As the time got closer, Bing Bing, the host, stopped talking and silently left the camera. The live broadcast was focused on the rocket launcher.
The audience watching the live broadcast in front of large and small screens could not help but feel nervous.
"It's about to start! It was about to begin! I'm so excited!"
"Everything must go smoothly!"
"Don't worry! My Great Dragon Kingdom has never made a mistake in such a major matter!”
"Dragon, go!"
........
Just as the bullet comments were rolling rapidly, the sound of a ten-second countdown came from the live broadcast screen.
Everyone's mood instantly became tense, and the rapidly rolling bullet screen suddenly froze.
As the countdown ended, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted from the bottom of the rocket.
Due to the strong light, the entire picture of the Heavenly Dragon rocket could not be seen clearly.
Immediately after, a loud sound was heard.
"Boom!"
It was like the roar of a soaring dragon.
Such a huge commotion was transmitted to thousands of households through the live broadcast.
For a moment, many spectators were confused.
"I won't…Did it explode?"
"It shouldn't be, right?"
"This, this isn't a normal rocket launch.”
..........
On the other side of the ocean, Slate Aerospace Corporation.
Old Ma looked at the intense light on the live broadcast screen and could not help but laugh.
"Hahahahaha, so it exploded? To think that I thought they had created some advanced rocket.”
Old Ma finally smiled. The assistants and engineers behind him also heaved a sigh of relief and echoed.
"Haha, I knew that the people of the Dragon Country couldn't do it. They wanted to fly before they even learned how to walk.”
"Heh, what a waste of emotion. I don't think there's anything to observe. The thing they built can't fly at all.”
"Boss, why don't we go back and continue to rush the progress? It's a waste of time to watch them.”
"Yes, boss. We still have to work overtime to develop the latest model of the X series…"
The crowd burst into laughter, and a few people shouted that they were wasting time.
But in the next moment, they could no longer laugh.
..........
As the strong light in the image gradually disappeared, the exaggerated speed of the Sky Dragon made everyone lose their voices.
Whether it was the people from the Slate Company or the countless viewers in the Dragon Country, they were all shocked by what happened next.
After the first explosion, Dragon God was pushed up by the huge force of the explosion.
Unlike ordinary rockets, the speed of the Sky Dragon's ascent was very exaggerated. With just one explosion, it was instantly pushed into the air.
If the cameraman didn't react fast enough to capture the figure of the Heavenly Dragon, everyone might have missed this shocking scene.
The bottom of Dragon God, which was already in the air, once again exploded with a high frequency.
Boom! Boom!
As the frequency of the explosions increased rapidly, the booming sounds gradually merged into one, making it impossible for people to distinguish them. It formed a very special loud sound.
This was the Dragon Roar from the Heavenly Dragon!
The thrust generated by the high-frequency explosions made the Dragon soar into the sky at an extremely terrifying speed. Soon, it was beyond the range of what people could see with their naked eyes.
After a total of three to four seconds, the tracking camera installed with a special lens also lost track of Dragon.
Up until now, countless viewers and the people from Slate Company had yet to react.
Although they were all in different places and looking at different screens, their expressions were inexplicably the same.
His mouth was slightly agape, and his eyes were wide open.
The bullet screen paused for four to five seconds before exploding.
"What did I see?!!”
"This is too exaggerated! What kind of speed is this!"
"That strange explosion! Could this be the legendary shock engine?？”
"I don't know anything, so I can only deduct 60%.!”
"Awesome, I don't know what else to say besides awesome!”
"It's only been a few seconds! I've never f * cking seen a rocket like this before!”
"The Dragon Country is awesome! Heavenly Dragon is awesome!"
"Can anyone explain what's going on with this rocket? Could it be a hypersonic missile?？”
"Do you understand me? Where's that big shot from the Aerospace Academy?？”
"I'm still here, but I don't understand either…This was not a normal rocket engine.”
.........
Slate Aerospace Corporation.
Old Ma's expression was extremely ugly. The live broadcast had already been turned off by the assistant beside him.
The dozens of engineers behind Old Ma also lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
The launch process of the Sky Dragon had only appeared in the video for a few seconds.
However, the skills displayed in just a few seconds left them completely speechless.
This was because, to them, such engine technology was simply far beyond their reach.
After a long while, Old Ma finally spoke, but his tone was very cold.
"Cut out the scene just now. Go back and analyze their launch process in detail.”
"I'll give you a month. You have to figure out what kind of launch technology this is!”
"Also, continue to pay attention to their later developments. They should also reveal some technical details themselves. You have to understand them clearly!”
After saying that, Old Ma got up and left.
The engineers only dared to talk about what happened after Old Ma left.
"Did you see it clearly?"
"Of course I saw it clearly. The Dragon Country people should have used a shock engine.”
"Yes, I think so too, but where did they get this technology? Even we haven't fully grasped it.”
"It's useless to say so much now. In terms of engines, they are indeed better than us.”
While the engineers were discussing among themselves, someone had already turned on the livestream.
At this time, the Dragon Host Bing Bing was continuing to explain the follow-up mission of the first test launch of the Dragon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to our reporter, the Tian Long heavy-duty recoverable launch vehicle carried a total of 24 synchronous orbit satellites, with a total weight of about 78 tons!”
The dozens of engineers in Slate were actually from different countries. They were basically the elites of each country, and there were a few among them who knew Dragon language.
Hearing this, they were shocked and translated for the other engineers.
"78 tons! This rocket could actually transport a 78-ton satellite into the synchronous orbit!!”
"What is it? Did you hear wrongly? How could there be such a huge load?”
"You can't underestimate the people of the Dragon Country. Their previous Fat Five rocket had a very terrifying carrying capacity, but I didn't expect them to create an even more powerful rocket so quickly!”
"I don't believe it. This is unbelievable! Back then, our Saturn V had such a terrifying carrying capacity, but that was a rocket made for the moon landing. How could a recoverable rocket have such a large thrust?？”
Most of the engineers were in disbelief, but there were still a few clear-headed comrades in the crowd.
"Have you forgotten how that rocket was launched? It must have an extremely powerful thrust!”
As soon as the engineer finished speaking, the others reacted.
The people present were all experts in aviation, and many of the questions could be answered with just a little bit.
No wonder they were so shocked. The carrying capacity of the Heavenly Dragon was too terrifying.
One had to know that the rocket with the strongest carrying capacity in human history was a super-heavy rocket that was once built for the moon landing and the Polar Bear Country's space shuttle.
However, these two types of rockets had one thing in common. Although they had unparalleled power and could send space shuttles or lunar modules weighing 80 tons or even 100 tons into space, they could never return to the ground.
Just sending these heavy equipment up would consume an astronomical amount of fuel, and the flight distance would be longer.
Apart from these two types of rockets that had disappeared from history, among all the current launch vehicles, the one with the greatest thrust was actually Fatty Five from the Dragon Country.
However, even Fatty Five could only fly 25 tons to the blue planet's synchronous orbit.
There were two criteria to measure the carrying capacity of a rocket.
One was the capacity to reach the low-Earth orbit, and the other was the synchronous orbit.
The synchronous orbit was much farther than the low-Earth orbit, so the fuel needed to send the satellite to that altitude was much more.
After all, every rocket had a limited amount of fuel.
However, the current Dragon rocket could send more than 70 tons of satellites into the synchronous orbit at once. This was a unique achievement in the world!
"No, if the boss finds out, he might be furious.”
"It's over, it's over. Why are these people from the Dragon Country so terrifying? How are we going to explain this to the boss?”
.........
Su Yu didn't know about the ups and downs of the engineers in Slate Company.
At this moment, he was staring at the big screen in the control center.
All the data that was sent back by the Heavenly Dragon was displayed on it.
It had been six minutes since the Sky Dragon took off.
However, since the launch of Dragon God, the people in the control center had not cheered once.
For them, only when the rocket entered the predetermined orbit would it be considered a real success.
But soon, a piece of good news came.
"Report, Dragon has entered the target orbit.”
Following the voice of a staff member in the control center, a wave of cheers followed.
Su Yu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Although he had full confidence in Heavenly Dragon, he couldn't help but be affected by the atmosphere at the scene.
However, for this test, it could only be considered half successful.
After everyone's cheers died down, Su Yu gave another order.
"After placing the satellite according to the plan, execute the landing mission.”
"Yes, sir!"
