Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 839: A stick of incense (recommended BGM: OverdriveFar)

"Ah~~?"

Harbin Institute of Technology, majoring in aerospace engineering, as well as several related cross-majors, took half a day off today.

But they are not allowed to play, but sit in the classroom and watch the live broadcast.

Not only the students, but also the teachers and professors were sitting upright and taking notes in their small notebooks.

At the beginning, the picture showed the inside of the closed launch tower of the Xichang base, with a location mark in the upper right corner.

"Jingtian No. 1" is very big and thick, but in the absence of scale, the vision is not shocking enough.

But when the screen switched to the other side, Wanhu Base, looking at the torrent of metal pouring out everywhere, the classroom went crazy.

"what?"

"Fuck!"

"Is this scientific?"

Some students couldn't help but think...
-

"You still say you are not a cultivator?! Senior Zhou is definitely a Mahayana monk!"

"Gentlemen! Listen to the dragon's roar!"

"Liu Wei! Sit down! Don't make trouble!"

Qinghe County, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, whenever an outstanding alumni of the No. 1 Middle School makes a big move, everyone will organize to watch TV.

It is true that every student of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School grew up in the legend of Senior Zhou, studied in the laboratory building donated by Senior Zhou, and used Senior Zhou’s scholarship to buy starch sausage.

But when I saw this scene in the picture, I still had a feeling: I am no stranger to Senior Zhou, but I am no stranger to this world.

The young high school students looked at the sci-fi movie-like scenes on TV and then looked at the C**V logo in the upper left corner.

"Oh my god."

------

"Oh my god~, the world outside is changing too fast."

In Rongcheng, in front of a small shop in an old community, a group of old men are gathering together to play mahjong. There are four or five tables with ten or twenty people, creating a unique sense of relaxation for the people of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Retirees, especially, feel at ease.

On the yellowed TV in the small store, there is a live broadcast of the technology channel.

"Two cakes! It's your turn to aid Korea."

"Wait a minute, let me touch it."

Zhang Yuanchao, who moved slower than the others, glared at Guan Hongan and was inexplicably skipped.

The small shop's exclamation caught his attention, and he turned to look at the TV, but he couldn't see clearly because of his presbyopia.

The store owner was yelling, saying that the world outside was developing faster and faster.

Zhang Yuanchao smiled slightly, can you be unhappy?
Outside, there was that young man leading him.

Little by little, step by step, no matter what field you are in.

Their time has passed, they just have to wait and see.

There will be people, keep going.

It feels so good to have a successor.
"Batiao, do you want to help Korea?"

"bump"

When Zhang Yuanchao came to his senses, Mahjong made a crisp sound.

-

"bump!"

The teacup on the table was knocked to the ground.

"If it weren't for the special effects, I would cut off my head and throw it into the Ganges!"

In the space agency of a certain Eastern country, a dark-brown expert smashed the table into pieces.

"This kind of clumsy special effects is completely designed to undermine our self-confidence!"

"It's just China! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

They are the third largest space country in the world! How can there be technology that I can’t understand!
there is only one truth! That’s special effects! Special effects like those in concerts and studios!

However, visual feedback is hard to deceive. Especially when the metal torrent forms the transmitting tower, the reflection of every surface, the light and shadow of every structure, and the perspective relationship of every boundary all prove it.

This is real.

On the screen, Director Yangma knew how to play the pictures of Xichang Base and Wanhu Base on the same frequency in a left-right layout.

When the three-meter-tall "mimic launch tower" and the 100-meter-tall real launch tower slowly unfolded at the same time, the real rocket and the mimetic rocket inside were revealed.

Their cerebellums have shrunk.
After a long time, one person said: "I remember they have a Clean Space Alliance that will disclose some information, and you can even observe on the spot to see if you can join."

"As a major space country, we should give them some guidance. They should be happy, right?"

"Director, I have information here."

An application form was pushed from one side of the table to the other.

----

Nelson stretched out three fingers, intercepted the information pushed by his subordinates, glanced at it briefly, and threw it aside.

It's all nonsense!
There is too little information known to the outside world
What exactly is this technology?
In the NASA conference room, Hansen in the corner once again had high hopes. He stared at it for a long time and said:
"It should be the same technology as the ones in 'Wugang', the satellite capture device, and the MV. By the way, there's also the one on his shoulder."

Hansen said solemnly: "Our estimate of 'Rui Zhou' is still too conservative. When he chooses to announce it to the outside world, I'm afraid there will already be more progress internally, just like their official approach."

"In other words, 'Rui Zhou' may have more mysterious technologies in his hands, so he would announce these things on live TV."

Director Nelson asked: "What is the specific purpose? Is it just to build a model in the command center?"

"I hope so, but honestly, it's almost impossible."

Hansen listed several things side by side in his mind and arranged them one after another.

A clear technology upgrade route.
and terrifying speed of improvement
Nielsen was speechless for a long time, and finally he could only say: "Everyone, I need to make a call to the European Space Agency. You can continue watching."

------

"Everyone, countdown to 15 minutes."

In Wanhu Base, Zhou Rui stood in front of everyone with his hands folded across his chest.

His eyes were firm and focused, looking at the transmitting tower composed of mimicry.

A voice came from the earphone on one side: "Start the tower departure procedure!"

It was even faster and more synchronous than human reporting in words. Before the man finished speaking, the mimicry transmitting tower had slowly opened from bottom to top.

The "Jingtian No. 1" inside was revealed.

With exquisite scale and details, the two-meter-tall Jingtian No. 1 slowly moves outward.

In the real world, "Jingtian No. 1" has a huge seal script logo, as well as its own "enlightened intelligence" simplified logo.

However, the mimetic command system currently only displays structure, not color, so it cannot be seen in the command center.

But in the TV screen, the contrast that is divided into two is so consistent at the same frequency.

The Xichang base is also busy.

If there are no unexpected situations, the first stage: the launch process will be based on Xichang. Thousands of miles away, in the Xichang command center, this time Che Gan stood in front of everyone, and Shan Chunyuan served as the commander and deputy commander respectively.

"Countdown to launch is 10 minutes, telemetry report is for the fourth time."

His voice was a little trembling. He was used to standing behind Brother Tao before, and then he was used to standing behind the boss.

Mom, I've gone too far.
Shan Chunyuan patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

The entire command center would not give him time to continue to sigh.

"Telemetry of all systems at all levels is normal!"

"The self-test of the smart original is normal and the network signal is stable."

"Five minutes countdown to launch, fuel injection status report!"

"Full sub-level, fuel injection up to par."

Not a long, but absolutely intense few minutes passed.

Che Gan took a deep breath.

"Launch countdown! One minute! Swing the pendulum!"

At the top of the No. 2 launch tower at the Xichang base, the "Jingtian No. 1", the swing rods used to inject fuel and stabilize the rocket body are opened to both sides.

Waiting for the final instructions.

Chegan: "The launch is ready, please give instructions!"

After a slight pause, the sound from Wanhu Base resounded in the Xichang Command Center.

"Permission to launch, good luck to everyone!"

The boss's calm voice shocked Che Gan.

Look at the time intently
Then, Lang said:

"Everything is in place! Countdown to launch is ten seconds! 10, 9"

“5、4、3、2、1！点火！”

"ignition!"

The next moment, countless tourists who came here to gather at the Xichang Base Observation Deck burst into cheers like a tsunami.

"Jingtian No. 1" soars into the sky with its indomitable power!

Some people took pictures frantically, some cheered, and some suddenly jumped to the edge of the observation deck and started doing squats with their heads raised.

And took the wrong angle into a video, as if a rocket was launched into his
But soon, it flew out of his mouth again.

Heading towards the deep blue sky.

------

"Take off successfully!"

"Takeoff time: 11:25, 037 milliseconds, Beijing time!"

Zhou Rui stared at the mimic rocket in front of him. Naturally, this thing would not really fly, but the launch silo behind him was gradually falling, creating a visual gap of taking off.

Judging from the take-off time, it is true that the fully intelligent rocket has greatly reduced the system time redundancy. In the past, the launch lag usually started at 300 milliseconds. The power system of the old model may even lag several seconds.

Zhou Rui shifted his attention from the mimic rocket to the large ink screen at the back.

At this stage, Wanhu Base only needs to watch, and various reports from Xichang Base can be heard in the hall.

17 seconds after takeoff, the programmed turn began.

170 seconds after takeoff, the booster shuts down and the smart connection point initiates the separation process.

As a fully recoverable rocket, the four boosters of Jingtian-1 can also be recovered.

But in the past, due to the lack of perspective, in such a high space, ground personnel could only vaguely construct relevant postures in their minds through data.

And even if there are any fluctuations in the data, it is difficult to make timely adjustments.

But today is different.

In the Wanhu base, the boosters of the mimic rocket fell off simultaneously, were separated by four support points, and disappeared under the main body.

But soon, four separate booster structures rose up on the other half of the white space. They were tilted at first, and even rotated slightly, faithfully reflecting the real-time status of the boosters at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

"Booster attitude adjustment initiated."

The mimic booster gradually began to offset the rotation, correct its attitude, and finally controlled the wind panel to expand vertically downward.

Soon, feedback from the landing area also arrived: "As soon as the booster was observed in the landing area, the recovery attitude was normal."

Zhou Rui nodded secretly.

The mimic command mode is indeed more intuitive and efficient.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that Jingtian-1’s own intelligent networking is more advanced and better.

Except for the most worthless fairing, not a single exploding screw will be wasted on this rocket.

Oh, by the way, Jingtian No. 1 no longer has explosive screws, but smart connectors, and the synchronization rate is higher than that of explosive screws.

This is the world's first real rocket recovery launch, but compared with other significance it represents, this is just a small thing not worth mentioning.

Soon, the first and second sub-stages were separated, and the fairings were separated. All changes were intuitively reflected in the Wanhu base command center.

It was also displayed in front of thousands of viewers in front of televisions and computers.

In the past, when everyone watched a rocket launch, they basically only watched the first ten seconds.

From now on, it's all up to my imagination.

I can't find it, and I can't understand the data on the screen. I just hear "This is successful!" and "That starts!".

It’s almost like a blind person listening to a play.

But this time, they clearly saw how the rocket separated its components, how its movement posture changed from vertical to tangential, and how the fairing split vertically instead of opening like a mineral water bottle.

Aerospace, for the first time, had a clear image in their minds.

Even some professionals have a more intuitive concept. What is described in books can finally be observed with the naked eye!

In Wanhu Base, as the main body becomes smaller and smaller, the mimic model begins to gradually enlarge the scale.

In the load compartment, the "passengers" neatly stacked in a rectangular shape are clearly visible.

A new report sounded:

"Entering low-Earth orbit, the payload compartment separates, and the payload enters the target area!"

From this point on, the launch phase was officially declared a complete success.

The load weighing 22 tons was successfully sent to the specified height.

Except for a small number of people who still need to continue to pay attention to the recycling of parts, most people have already shifted their attention.

On the 6:1 scale, the entire load is simulated.

Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "The first stage is over and we are entering the second stage."

Then he said those words that have been deeply remembered by countless people and have been circulated for a long time.

"Nantianmen Project, start!"
