Chapter 838 Launch Day! Mimic Command Mode!

After nearly a week of slow special transportation, "Jingtian No. 1" arrived at the Xichang base smoothly on October 20.

Such a huge rocket component is so conspicuous that countless people took photos and posted them on the Internet on the way. The seal-shaped logo of "Tai Tiangong" on it is very recognizable and its identity is immediately recognized.

"Master Zhou's big rocket is really domineering, so thick, I like it!"

"I have bought a ticket to Xichang, and the whole family will witness history together."

"Envy, I can only wait for the live broadcast at home."

"Report! Ready to "launch" at the same time as President Zhou!"

"Report! Ready to "guide" at the same time as President Zhou!"

At about the same time, photos of the appearance of the components of "Jingtian No. 1" also appeared in the space agencies and aerospace companies of many countries.

If it were an ordinary rocket, these countries would not pay so much attention to it.

But this time, Tai Tiangong is going to launch an "orbital platform", something that has never appeared in the world.

Aerospace is one of the top fields of human technology. This is not only a scientific exploration, but also bad news for those who regard China as an opponent.

Watching the opponent getting better and better is more painful than the death of one's mother.

However, no matter whether it is overt or covert, they can't stop this mission, and can only anxiously wait for the result.

Zhou Rui also announced the news on social media in a timely manner, with a picture of the overall effect of "Jingtian No. 1".

In addition, Zhou Rui once promised that the relevant information would be disclosed in the "Clean Space Alliance", but there are some loopholes in it.

The information is just a piece of paper. If the alliance members get it, he believes that those big countries will also get it.

Don't overestimate the confidentiality level of each member, which makes "only internal disclosure" meaningless.

So after Zhou Rui communicated with the space agency, he decided to invite alliance members to observe on site in the form of "special observers".

In this way, it can ensure that the information disclosure is valuable while forming a certain barrier to non-alliance members.

Of course, since the alliance is still very immature, the invited ones are only two or three big cats.

For example, the Emirates Space Agency, which has no rockets but astronauts, the Pakistan Space Agency, which has no rockets and no astronauts, and the Mongolian Space Agency, which has nothing but the name.

The most outrageous thing is that the Ryukyu Space Agency, which doesn't even have a proper meteorological bureau, still managed to get a ticket.

After all, it will be Taiyi Tiangong's own place in the future, so let them come to Xiaodao and pull their butts in advance to open their eyes.

The first batch of members is so strong, but Zhou Rui is not in a hurry, there will be a day when a space power will beg to join.

Now, these alliance members are responsible for being cute.

As time goes by, the world's attention is getting more and more focused.

A month ago, Master Zhou announced to the public that he would build an "orbital platform". Now, it seems that all the information points to one thing.

Master Zhou is serious, he really wants to carry out this crazy plan!

In order to make "Taiyi Tiangong" a hit and to enhance the influence of the future "Clean Space Alliance", Zhou Rui announced the latest progress step by step on social media.

Although most of the information is only text information, it has also increased the attention of the public little by little.

Words such as orbital platform, Taitian Man-made, and enlightened intelligence began to appear frequently on television programs in various countries. Some people sneered, some flattered and praised, and some worried and blamed.

But no matter what, the space fever caused by "Yutu-Wu Gang" this year will eventually be pushed to the highest point by Zhou Rui himself.

On October 25, the mortise and tenon platform and supporting payloads completed all transformation and testing, loaded and set off for the Xichang base.

On October 29, the intelligent command center of the Wanhu base was completed.

On November 1, "Jingtian No. 1" completed all remaining tests at the Xichang base.

On November 3, "Jingtian No. 1" entered the tower and began vertical assembly. Shan Chunyuan served as the leader of the rocket engineering group and Che Gan served as the deputy leader to ensure that the rocket launch was foolproof.

November 5th. Launch day.

————————

"Hello, audience friends. Behind me is the base of China's first commercial aerospace company, Taiyi Tiangong, in East China, Wanhu Base."

Early this morning, there were more media carrying cameras in Wanhu Base. Yangma and several online media were invited to this launch.

Live broadcasts can be seen on multiple channels.

Of course, as a commercial aerospace company, Yangma cannot give the full live broadcast treatment of the main channel like "Chang'e 3", but it is still arranged on the affiliated technology channel and its own website.

In addition, if the launch is successful, the news will appear on the news broadcast tonight.

However, these media are not unimpeded everywhere. Most of the technical areas have been blocked, and the WuJ soldiers who patrol around on weekdays have changed into black security uniforms, isolating most of the secrets.

Yangma has obtained the right to set up the camera in the command center, while other media can only transfer the screen. The whole process will also be carried out in the form of delayed live broadcast.

In addition to the media, some visitors have arrived.

The gold-rimmed lorry stopped in front of the office building, and Khalid, dressed in a gray suit, got out of the car in high spirits.

After parting with Mr. Zhou last time, he went to handle business around the world.

He naturally had to come to the launch of the "Taiwan Spacecraft". In total, he spent more time in China this year than in the UAE.

Coming with him were two "experts" in the aerospace field of the United Arab Emirates and two astronauts who had been trained for many years.

In parentheses, none of them had been to space, and they were about to retire after being raised for a long time.

Speaking of which, as a wealthy country, the United Arab Emirates has always attached great importance to cutting-edge fields such as aerospace and has been deeply involved in it for many years.

There are funds for funds, funds for technology, funds for talents, and funds for results.

It can be said that it is strong.

Khalid turned his head and saw that there were several cars parked here, and the person who got out of one of them was very familiar.

Shang Zhi and Weng Changzeyu, who I met during the trip to Ryukyu.

Shang Zhi is in China, and Weng Changzeyu is purely a public expense.

There is no space agency in Ryukyu, it's just a formality. Weng Changzeyu is ashamed to call himself the "Director of the Space Agency" to others.

After a few words of conversation, a staff member came to lead them inside.

"Everyone, Mr. Zhou is in the command room. I need to meet you later. Please follow me to the observation area first."

The alliance members walked in together, and this scene was also recorded by the camera.

This office building built by the Space Agency has nothing special in terms of shape. It is square, neither tall nor handsome.

It is even a bit too low-key. This is Khalid's first impression.

But after twists and turns, he arrived at the so-called "observation area" on the fourth floor, and his eyes widened.

The so-called observation area is a room located on the side of the "intelligent command center" and is separated by a glass curtain wall.

On the inside of the curtain wall is a lounge with a fairly good decoration. It is only about 50 square meters, with sofas, water dispensers, and coffee tables.

And on the outside of the curtain wall is a huge command center of thousands of square meters.

The command center is arranged in an arc-shaped ladder, getting lower and lower as you go forward. The "observation area" is like a small box on the side of a large theater.

In front of the "Grand Theater", at the lowest point, there is not the big screen of the space command center that Khalid remembered, but white materials are laid from the wall to the ground, forming a space like an arc-shaped studio.

The location of the observation room is very subtle. They can see dozens of people busy inside, but they can't see the content on even one computer.

Obviously, this is a place for spectators, and the deeper mystery is another price.

The Emirates aerospace expert behind him couldn't help but say: "What's the point of such a strange design?"

Khalid shook his head: "This is my first time here too."

Perhaps intending to gain face in front of the crown prince, the aerospace expert who accompanied the crown prince for the first time frowned and said: "Their real command center may still be in Xichang. After all, Taiyi Tiangong still lacks technical accumulation."

He didn't believe in the so-called "orbital platform" in his heart. If it was a NASA project, he might be more recognized.

Khalid glared at him: Are you showing off?

I thought that if all the space agencies in my own space agency were this kind of stuff, no wonder they couldn't develop.

In contrast, the Ryukyu observers, Mongolian observers, and Pakistani observers were admiring him like Liu Laoba entering the Grand View Garden.

The so-called space exploration in these places was a far cry from the Alian Chiefs.

Everyone tried to search for "that person" in the command center.

Soon, they locked onto the core area, a tall and straight figure in a black shirt.

Wait, what's on his shoulder?

Shang Zhi vaguely remembered that a month ago, Kaiming Intelligence disclosed a unique technology because of a MV.

Zhou Rui still wore his "commander uniform" today, and was particularly conspicuous among the white coats.

He was holding a progress board in his hand, wearing headphones on one ear, and a small shower on his shoulder, checking the situation of all parties.

"Report on the rocket fuel injection."

Someone immediately shouted: "The booster is full, the first stage is full, the second stage is 72%, and the countdown to the tower departure procedure is 30 minutes."

"Telemetry report of various indicators."

"Telemetry indicators are all normal."

"Communication delay report."

"5ms to Xichang Command Center, 3ms back."

"Seventh self-test of the intelligent system."

The little shower on the shoulder narrowed his eyes and said after a few seconds: "Triple self-test, normal."

The so-called triple self-test, the first is the self-organizing network self-test of "Jingtian No. 1", the second is the verification result provided by the Xichang base car, and the third is the verification result of the little shower after the return to Wanhu base.

Obviously, the little shower has been embedded in the entire command system and has become an important member.

Even the most important member today.

This time, the dual command center model jointly constructed by Xichang Base and Wanhu Base is a brand new attempt.

The first half of the rocket launch was mainly based on Xichang Base.

The Wanhu base is responsible for the construction of the second half of the "orbital platform".

Zhou Rui took a comprehensive look at the situation, turned his head to look at the glass of the "observation room", waved to a few acquaintances, but did not intend to chat.

Today, he is very busy.

November 5, 11 am.

Launch countdown, 25 minutes.

Everyone has gathered in the command center, sitting in their own seats, working nervously and seriously.

In the last row of the command center are Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian, who came together but avoided the camera.

A little further forward, Gan Yuan, who was dressed up carefully, sat in the corner.

There are also Yang Rubin, who was invited, and Li Changping, director of the System Engineering Department of the Space Administration.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath.

"Entry Mission [Sea King], Experience Value +3, Current Progress (69/100)"

Cough cough cough. Zhou Rui's anger just raised dissipated again.

"Countdown 20 minutes, Xichang Base enters the tower departure procedure!"

Zhou Rui held his breath and said in a deep voice: "Start the mimic command mode!"

The next moment, the white space in front of the command center suddenly lit up.

In order not to expose the connection with the "Four Elephants Material", Zhou Rui disguised the pure white outer coating, but the sense of technology was still overwhelming.

The next moment, countless metal streams emerged around the white space, spreading, stretching, and finally with a metal "squeak" sound, covering the entire space.

The background of the white space is not useless. It displays a large amount of telemetry data in the form of ink display.

After the metal streams covered the entire ground, the center gradually bulged to form a.

Three-meter-high "rocket silo".

The staff had seen it many times in the simulation, but for others

Yang Rubin stood up in shock.

The observation room was full of exclamations.

The camera faithfully recorded the magical scene, and countless people watching the live broadcast knelt down to watch.

Zhou Rui was not disturbed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get ready and enter the battle state!"

Today, he will announce a lot of things.
