Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 921 Manned Spaceflight (3)

Prince Oscar insisted on going to heaven, and Yannick couldn't stop him, so he simply let him go. As the saying goes, "Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."

As a result, the overly excited Prince Oscar stayed up all night and came to the launch center early the next morning to make various preparations.

When Yannick finished his breakfast leisurely and came to the command and control hall, the huge No. 1 display screen on the wall showed Prince Oscar wearing a special spacesuit walking into the elevator on the rocket launch tower.

Soon, the elevator went up to the top floor.

Prince Oscar waved to the camera and clumsily climbed into the cabin door of the "Star 1" spacecraft, which was not very spacious.

When the hatch is closed, the display screen No. 2 switches to the inside of the spacecraft.

Prince Oscar suddenly muttered after fastening his seat belt. "Tsk, I'm a little hungry. I wish I had something to eat." Because he was so excited, he didn't even eat breakfast, and now he's a little hungry.

"..." Although he was talking to himself, it was still very clearly transmitted to the command hall through the built-in microphone of the spacecraft. Seeing many scientists looking at each other, and some even discussing whether to get him some snacks, Yannick asked someone to bring him a microphone. . "Dad, this shooting is going to be made into a documentary. Stop talking nonsense and say more noble and powerful quotes." If the audience sees this prince who is about to ascend into space in the future, The first sentence is "I'm hungry and want to eat." I don't know what to think.

Moreover, this trip does not mean that he will stay in space for a few days or nights. He can be back in three hours at most, and he will not starve to death.

"Oh." Prince Oscar cleared his throat and said seriously. "Today is the first time that human beings go into space..." Prince Oscar suddenly asked as he started. "Son, I won't meet aliens when I go up there and be kidnapped by them for experiments, right?"

"..." Yannick couldn't help but think of the special agents from the Space-Time Administration that he met last time. Thinking that this kind of rocket launch is a normal technological development, the Space-Time Administration should not stop it. It's a pity that I couldn't ask him about how far away the nearest alien civilization is from the solar system and how far it has developed. I still regret it now. "Don't worry, at least there are no aliens in the solar system." As for the Milky Way, Yannick didn't know. According to scientists' research, there are at least 40 billion habitable planets in the entire Milky Way. Among such exaggerated numbers, no matter how harsh the conditions for nurturing life are, it will become extremely common. However, until he traveled through time, humans had never discovered any information about the existence of intelligent life outside the earth.

"I can rest assured that."

At this time, Princess Oscar, who was sitting on the right side of Yannick, took the microphone and made a joke. "My dear, you will be the closest human being to God."

Yannick couldn't help but mutter. "Maybe God is an alien too."

While talking, the rocket entered the 30-minute preparation phase, and a group of technicians evacuated the launch site in an orderly manner.

"15 minutes to prepare!"

The last batch of technical personnel also completed the evacuation.

Prince Oscar skillfully fiddled with the switches on the dashboard a few times and gave a thumbs up to the camera. "'Xingchen 1' has no abnormality." Because "Xingchen 1" is equipped with the most advanced computers at present, but this spacecraft is too "primitive", there are not many operations that Prince Oscar is responsible for. He even just needs to sit quietly and let the ground staff complete all operations.

"10 minutes to prepare... 5 minutes to prepare... 1 minute to prepare!" The swing rods supporting the rocket on the launch tower were opened one by one, and the various systems and equipment connected to the rocket on the launch tower also quickly fell off. The rocket was already close to ignition and liftoff. Entered the countdown stage.

Princess Oscar held the cross pendant tightly in her hand and muttered words; while little Elisabeth, who was sitting on Yannick's left hand, held his arm tightly.

"...5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

"Ignite!" Along with the loud noise, a dazzling flame spurted out from the bottom of the rocket.

boom!

Although they were underground, they could still clearly hear the huge roar that erupted after the rocket was ignited. Yannick looked at the shaky screen. Under the helmet, Prince Oscar's face was tense and even a little distorted. He couldn't help but lament in his heart that even an "explorer" who has experienced countless life and death moments would still be nervous at this time. Be afraid, after all, he is sitting in a huge bomb now, and if he is not careful, he will be blown to pieces, leaving no bones left.

"The rocket ignited successfully!"

From the No. 3 display screen, I saw the huge rocket dragging dazzling light. It rose slowly at first, and gradually became lighter and lighter, and its speed became faster and faster. Soon, the rocket could no longer be seen by the cameras on the ground, and the screen of Display No. 2 was also covered with dense snowflakes. You can only hear the messages constantly sent back by the radar station, and the rocket's flight trajectory is normal.

"The first-stage thruster separated successfully and the second-stage thruster has been started."

"The second-stage thruster separated successfully and the third-stage thruster started."

Good news came one after another. When they heard the report of the activation of the three-stage thrusters, most people present let out a long sigh. At this point in the progress, the launch of the entire rocket has been basically successful. Now we only need to throw away the satellite fairing and wait for the rocket to approach the established orbit and release "Xingchen 1".

"The target orbit has been reached, the three-stage thruster has successfully detached, and 'Xingchen 1' has successfully entered orbit!"

Countless cheers broke out, and the staff in the entire launch hall burst into tears.

Dr. Obert quickly picked up the microphone and asked. "Your Highness Oscar, what do you think? Is there anything abnormal about your body?"

"Oh God!" Prince Oscar did not answer Dr. Obert. Instead, he let out an inexplicable sigh, stared straight at the window of "Star 1" and murmured. "It's so beautiful, like a big blue gem. I have never seen such a beautiful scene in my life. Is this God's perspective? Our Europe is just a continent, and it seems that such a small continent is packed with people. Covering dozens of countries, tiny human beings are fighting meaninglessly in their own homes..."

"..." Yannick murmured in his mind, have you entered sage mode or something? If he continues to talk, wouldn’t he be taking the lead in opposing his son? So he picked up the microphone and tapped it. "Dad, please stop sighing and check the spacecraft system quickly for your own safety."

"Oh." Prince Oscar finally recovered. "Everything is normal, life support systems are operating well, no gas leaks have been detected, and power and communications are good."
