Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The light seemed to have a sound.

When the entire night sky is illuminated by huge flames.

The mountains seemed to have become quiet.

The sky and the earth are eclipsed, my old friend will not deceive me!

Before the sound wave arrived, countless observers had already heard a roar in their skulls.

"Look!"

"Wow~!!"

"Awesome! China Aerospace is awesome!"

————

But at this moment, while the outside world is carnivaling, the command center has not yet relaxed.

"Take off successfully!"

"Take off time: 20:00 minutes 344 milliseconds Beijing time!"

From this moment on, it is the critical moment that determines the fate of Chang'e-3.

"Telemetry indicators are normal! Booster fuel consumption is normal!"

.17 seconds after takeoff!

"Start the program turn! The thruster is adjusted normally!"

"The optical tracking in the first area is normal and orbit change is detected."

Chang Sanyi began to fly vertically, instead of flying tangentially along the earth.

.50 seconds after takeoff!

The launch base can no longer capture the picture of "Chang Sanyi", and all data must be sensed through the telemetry system.

Feedback the status of the rocket with various data.

"USB band tracking is normal!"

"Weinan station tracking is normal!"

Thousands of kilometers away in Shaanxi Province, the heroic figure of Long Sanyi in the night sky was accurately captured.

An observation relay across the country has begun!

This is a vast country with inherent advantages in the aerospace field.

.140 seconds after takeoff!

"Initiate booster separation!"

"The booster separated successfully! The range of the landing area is normal!"

"The first-stage rocket engine ignited successfully!"

"Taiyuan station tracking is normal!"

Traces of Chang Sanyi appeared in Jin Province.

.150 seconds after takeoff!

"Initiate primary and secondary separation."

"The primary and secondary separations were successful, and the range of the landing area is normal."

"The second-stage rocket engine ignited successfully!"

Although there are only pieces of data and instructions.

But Zhou Rui could still clearly feel the tension and solemnity in the command center.

200 seconds after takeoff.

"Tsu station tracking is normal!"

"Start the second and third levels of separation!"

"Level 2 and 3 separation successful! The landing area is normal!"

"The third-level arrow was successfully ignited!"

230 seconds after takeoff.

Chang Sanyi's speed is getting faster and faster, and has exceeded the first cosmic speed.

"Leaving the atmosphere, the fairing separates!"

"The fairing is separated successfully!"

It also means that the payload of Chang'e-3 has been exposed in outer space.

If it is a general satellite launch, this stage is already complete.

"Tracking in the navigation area is normal! Tracking of the entire route is completed!"

The observation ship on the sea also tracked the rocket's target and completed the relay race across most of China.

But at this time, it still cannot be called a success.

In the command center, every breath was taken with caution.

Afraid of missing even one instruction or data.

There was a brief silence in the huge room.

Because at this stage, there is very little they can do.

.590 seconds after launch.

"Arrived at the predetermined orbit, the third-stage rocket's engine shuts down!"

"Shutdown successful!"

At this time, the rocket is no longer restrained by the atmosphere and can use inertia to move forward in the vacuum. The engine is shut down to save fuel, and a second ignition is performed at the required position to switch orbits.

.830 seconds after launch.

"The secondary engine of the third-stage sub-arrow is ignited."

"Ignition was successful and telemetry fuel retention was normal."

Chang Sanyi. To be precise, it is the last part of Chang Sanyi's body, which is making its last effort.

Since we were sending passengers to the moon, this flight was extremely long.

1140 seconds after launch.

"Initiating Chang'e-3 separation."

This was the last moment the audience trembled.

A second later, there was a resounding answer.

"Chang'e-3! Separation successful! Orbital parameters are normal!"

Quiet. First there was sudden silence.

Immediately afterwards

"Success!"

"We made it!"

"yeah!!!!"

It was nearly 20 minutes behind compared to the outside audience.

Only in the command center dared to cheer loudly.

new

The ordinary staff below stood up and raised their arms and shouted.

On the high platform in the back, the team leaders and senior officials kept applauding.

Although Chang'e-3 still has a long journey, it is flying to the moon position "four days later", and its story has just begun.

However, the successful launch of the first stage is still worthy of celebration.

Director Sun wiped the sweat from his palms and stood up to shake hands with everyone around him.

Chief Engineer Sun Ze and the project team members around him hugged each other and shed tears.

Even Shan Chunyuan, who was not good at talking, bit his lip and nodded while applauding.

Zhou Rui crossed his arms, walked to Shan Chunyuan, and said, "It seems you lost the bet."

What he was talking about was a matter of dispatch.

Shan Chunyuan had a complicated expression and said, "At most I don't object. The bureau and the base may not agree."

Zhou Rui said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I will communicate."

After this period of contact, which can be regarded as an inspection, Shan Chunyuan was highly recognized by him.

This is indeed a master with rich experience, high level, rigorous and meticulous.

With the addition of Shan Chunyuan, "Tai Tiangong" will have the opportunity to achieve rapid improvement in rocket inspection, assembly, launch and other fields in one step.

Zhou Rui can then safely leave the relevant work to him.

Even many ordinary engineers in the Xichang base were attracted by Zhou Ruixiang.

For the space agency to support "private aerospace", it means diverting talents. These can be discussed.

But it's too early to talk to Director Sun now. It's best to wait until the rocket recovery technology is solved.

Zhou Rui patted Shan Chunyuan on the shoulder and said, "But compared to dispatch, the tasks close at hand are also important."

He pointed at the completely still picture on the big screen and said:

"It will take four days for this guy to fly to the moon, and five days for it to set on the moon. During this period of time, it will be idle. My Long March 2 is coming soon."

Shan Chunyuan naturally knew the next arrangements, and exhaled a thick breath and said: "The people in the team need to take a break, at least take a day off."

Zhou Rui smiled: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I will take you off tomorrow and take you to the city to celebrate. We will start work the day after tomorrow."

Xichang Base's own celebration, as well as the celebration of Chang'e-3, cannot be so early and must wait until the lunar exploration is completed.

It would be funny if champagne was opened at halftime.

But tomorrow, he will spend his own money to take the entire rocket engineering team to have fun.

After all, due to their own reasons, the rocket engineering team must continue to work while everyone else can rest.

That "Half Price Long March Er C" will arrive the day after tomorrow.

Shan Chunyuan sighed in his heart, this Master Zhou was very good at his conduct and work, but he refused to admit defeat.

"This is what I, the team leader, should do. I'll pay for it tomorrow."

When he said this, his heart trembled. After all, compared with Zhou Rui's financial resources, he was not even a firefly.

It was so high and low that I was bleeding profusely.

Zhou Rui shook his head: "That's inappropriate."

Patted Shan Chunyuan on the shoulder:

"After all, you will no longer be the team leader tomorrow. I am the team leader of the rocket recovery project team and you are the deputy team leader."

Shan Chunyuan:

That night, many domestic media, especially Yangma's various channels, broadcast the news of "the successful launch of Chang'e 3" in different ways.

Some are scrolling subtitles below.

Some are real launch scenes.

This is the final phase of the second phase of the national lunar exploration project and has many great significances.

Of course, since it has not yet landed on the moon, the current report is still relatively cautious.

Shanghai, Jiangwan Hanlin.

Li Wenqian and Han Ziyin stayed in front of the TV.

They have been paying attention to tonight's rocket launch and have not missed it since seven o'clock.

Looking at the picture on the screen, when the rocket that eclipsed the sky and the earth took off, both of them clapped their hands.

The corners of Han Ziyin's mouth couldn't help but turn up. Although Zhou Rui's picture only appeared for a short time during the previous news broadcast, she still couldn't help but feel proud.

It wasn't until the screen changed to irrelevant news that Han Ziyin turned off the TV without feeling satisfied.

Li Wenqian crossed her thin legs and continued to check relevant news on her mobile phone. The delicate soles of her feet touched something. When she lowered her head, she saw it was a deck of playing cards.

Suddenly said: "Zi Yin, there are rules of poker, is it called egg beating?"

Han Ziyin was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "It seems there is."

Li Wenqian opened her mouth:

"It actually really does exist!"
