As Xu You said, at this time, the measurement system of our Academy of Aerospace Sciences also discovered this abnormal situation.

"The acceleration of their rocket in the first stage is about 0.1 meters per square second lower than expected. If the power compensation cannot be completed later, it may not be possible for the aircraft to reach the minimum speed requirement."

To perform power compensation, the engine needs to be overloaded.

And this is very dangerous for the aircraft.

At this moment, Xu You's eyes changed again.

Xu You's keen sense of the operating state of the object made Xu You notice the state change of the rocket.

Even in the state where there is no obvious reference object, Xu You can be sure that the acceleration of this rocket has suddenly increased.

This means that its engine has begun to overload.

"If this continues, it is very likely that the second stage rocket will not be able to escape." Xu Youxin said.

In the past few days, Xu You has consulted all available rocket launch processes, and has made a detailed analysis of almost all human rocket launches in history.

With such a wealth of experience, Xu You can rely on his own eyes and brain to accurately judge various data during the rocket launch process and analyze the cause of the failure.

But at this time, another unexpected situation occurred.

The live signal about the launch of the Sam rocket was suddenly interrupted.

"Is there something wrong with our signal?"

What they didn't know was that at the same time, all the live broadcast signals of the rocket from all over the world were interrupted.

This has caused people all over the world to complain about this matter in live broadcast rooms and social platforms.

"What's going on? It's a wonderful stage, why is the live broadcast signal suddenly interrupted?"

"Isn't it because of bad weather? It seems that not only our live broadcast was interrupted, but also the live broadcast in many places."

"Anyway, hopefully the rocket will go off without a hitch, even though it's just a test rocket."

...

Sam Space Agency.

The staff in the control room looked lonely. At this time, they still didn't believe that the rocket launch failed.

"How could this be... Impossible, impossible!"

Williams held his head in his hands, the disappointment on his face palpable.

Even because of the above requirements, their plans were advanced by several months.

According to the expected situation, such an accident should not occur.

When the rocket was just launched, there was an abnormality in the engine, which made the rocket's acceleration lower than originally planned.

In order to make up for these insufficient accelerations, the commander had to order an increase in the power of the engine to allow the engine to run in an overloaded state.

In such an overloaded state, the engine was eventually shut down early, and the second-stage rocket failed to disengage.

"Director Williams, please don't be so discouraged. Fortunately, there is a certain delay in our live broadcast. When an accident occurred, we immediately interrupted the live broadcast signal, and did not let that scene appear on the live broadcast screen. middle."

Williams sighed, and said, "Well, this is just luck among misfortunes. If people all over the world see this scene, I don't know how they will laugh at us."

Half a century ago, they successfully achieved manned moon landings many times, leaving their own footprints on the moon.

If people all over the world know that half a century later, they will not even be able to successfully launch a test rocket, it will become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Especially, the rabbit they regarded as their imaginary enemy.

"Find an excuse and say that due to force majeure, our rocket has a problem and the launch needs to be postponed. In addition, hurry up to find the cause of the accident and ensure that there will be no more failures next time."

"Okay, Commissioner Williams."

After all, everyone didn't see this scene with their own eyes. As long as they don't say anything, everyone can only doubt and cannot determine the specific situation.

Such a result is much better than letting people all over the world see the rocket fall from a high altitude with their own eyes.

At the same time, in our aerospace academy, Xu You and others finally got specific news.

"According to the information from our satellite, Sam's second-stage rocket failed to disengage, which led to the failure of this launch. The direct cause of this accident is likely to be a sudden flameout of the engine."

After hearing the news, Xu You nodded slightly.

This is almost completely consistent with Xu You's guess when watching the live broadcast.

The sudden interruption of the live broadcast signal will not be due to objective factors such as weather conditions, but the Sam space agency actively interrupted the live broadcast signal after noticing these conditions.

However, what makes Xu You a little curious is why there are such special circumstances in Sam's rocket launch this time.

"Please show me all the information we have obtained."

"Okay, Professor Xu."

Although Xu You's observation ability is already extraordinary, if you want to understand the information of this incident in more detail, you still need to rely on some advanced equipment.

After browsing through all the relevant information obtained, Xu You closed his eyes and began to think deeply in his brain.

At this moment, all fragments of the whole incident were scattered in Xu You's brain.

Xu You tried to find the connection between them to deduce more hidden information.

A few minutes later, Xu You shook his head lightly.

"No...the known information is still too little, and my calculation speed is still not enough."

At this time, Xu You thought of a skill he had acquired recently, wireless brain computer.

In order to deal with complex problems that may arise at any time, Xu You brought his own special small quantum computer.

At this time, it can come in handy.

After Xu You returned to his room, he connected with the quantum computer and started more intensive calculations.

After a series of complicated derivations, Xu You finally came up with a highly probable hypothesis.

"Part of their rocket fuel may have leaked." Xu You said to himself.

Because there is no conclusive evidence yet, Xu You can't be sure whether this inference is correct.

Throughout the live broadcast, there was no sign of any fuel leaking.

Xu You felt that this kind of leakage existed inside the rocket, but the fuel was exposed from the fuel chamber and did not spread to the outside of the rocket.

This is the reason for this, causing the engine to be underpowered, allowing the rocket to accelerate less than expected.

And forcibly increasing the power of the engine further accelerated the consumption of fuel and increased the speed of fuel leakage.

The fuel was exhausted prematurely, eventually causing the engines to stall and the second stage to fail to separate.
