Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

At the launch site in Shanxi Province, the air was filled with tension and anticipation at dawn. The huge rocket stood on the launch tower, like a giant beast about to awaken, its silver skin gleaming coldly in the morning light, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding tranquil environment.

With a deep and powerful countdown, "ten, nine, eight...", the whole venue seemed to hold its breath, and even the breeze became soft and slow at this moment. The faces of the technicians were full of concentration and determination, their eyes closely followed the behemoth that was about to take off, and every subtle movement revealed their infinite admiration for this great cause.

"Three, two, one, ignite!" With this shocking command, the engine at the bottom of the rocket suddenly spewed out blazing flames, devouring everything around it like an angry fire dragon, instantly tearing apart the tranquility before dawn. The flames and smoke intertwined into a spectacular and shocking picture, and the firelight reflected on everyone's face, reflecting excitement and pride.

With a loud roar, the rocket slowly rose up, as if it was released unwillingly by gravity at first, then it became faster and faster until it broke the speed of sound, leaving a brilliant trail across the sky. It continued to sprint upward until it became a dazzling bright spot in the sky, and finally disappeared into the blue sky, leaving only long white smoke trails, like the mark of human exploration of the universe.

Even though the successful launch has not been confirmed yet, the entire launch site erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. People hugged each other with tears in their eyes. At this moment, all the efforts, sweat, and even sacrifices turned into firm steps towards the sea of ​​stars.

After the rocket launch, the sky was filled with white smoke and gradually returned to tranquility, but the launch control center was a busy and orderly scene.

On the huge display screen, various data charts and images flash continuously, showing every detail of the rocket's flight.

A group of aerospace scientists and technicians in white work clothes sat in front of the control console, their eyes fixed on the screen, their fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, monitoring and analyzing various parameters after the rocket launch in real time.

The air was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere, and everyone was aware of the heavy responsibility they shouldered.

"The rocket takes off in normal posture!"

"The rocket's various detection signal data are normal!"

"The speed is stable and the propulsion system is working normally." A technician's voice sounded in the control room. Although his voice was calm, he could not hide his inner excitement.

"Data communication is normal," another technician added, his eyes quickly scanning the screen, confirming the accuracy of every data point.

At the same time, another group of personnel is remotely monitoring the payload carried by the rocket. Through complex communication links, they establish connections with sensors on the rocket and receive and process data from space in real time. These data include key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and vibration, which are crucial to ensuring the safety of the payload during flight.

"The payload is in good condition and all systems are operating as expected," reported a technician in charge of payload monitoring. After carefully checking the payload-related data, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In the corner of the control room, a senior engineer was standing in front of a huge whiteboard, using pens of different colors to outline the rocket's flight trajectory and key nodes and data. He was listening to the technicians' reports while marking on the whiteboard, asking questions from time to time and repeatedly comparing the trajectory with the expected calculated trajectory.

At this moment, in the distant ocean, the Yuanwang-3 survey ship, which is responsible for the final observation mission of the rocket's terminal, is intensively testing the information of the new model of rocket towards the sky.

Before capturing the target, everyone looked serious and the atmosphere felt heavy.

"Report to the captain, we have detected the satellite and are now measuring the target altitude at 180.5 kilometers. Repeat, we are now measuring the target altitude at 180.5 kilometers. Our Dawn- spacecraft has entered the predetermined orbit!" After an unknown amount of time, the radar test team suddenly reported with surprise.

The Yuanwang No. 3 command room immediately became lively, but as the captain pressed his hand, everyone suppressed their excitement and watched the captain's report.

The current method of communication is live TV, which needs to be relayed through satellite TV, so there is some delay.

"Report to the command center, the altitude of Dawn-180.5 has been confirmed to be kilometers, and Dawn- has entered the planned orbit!" The captain picked up the microphone, took a deep breath and shouted directly to the command center. Soon the camera turned these into TV signals, and through satellite TV relay, it realized a quasi-real-time live broadcast call with the satellite launch center!

Of course, the launch is still secret now, and the television signal here is not broadcast live to the public.

After all, this is the first launch of an unmanned spacecraft, and no one can be sure that it will be successful.

"It seems that the first launch was quite successful." Ren Zhong stood in front of the big screen in the command center, his eyes fixed on the rising trajectory, with a hint of relief in his tone. Although he was still a little excited when the launch took place, he was confident in the success of this combination. Compared with others, Ren Zhong was much calmer.

"Yes, Mr. Ren, although we have conducted many tests and verifications beforehand and everything has been proven to be in line with expectations, we still need to actually launch it to know if it is correct. Now the most important step has been completed, and the next step is to see whether the recovery can also be completed as expected. If our recovery is also successful, it proves that there is no major problem with the entire design." Professor Qian was much more excited than Ren Zhong. His eyes were flashing with excitement, as if he saw the figure of Dawn-1 soaring in space.

"From now on, the Dawn-12 unmanned spacecraft is scheduled to stay in the sky for hours. We will see whether the relevant data in the cabin is as expected. This is the key data for us to send people up, and whether the radiation value in space can be shielded by our preventive measures." Professor Qian continued, with a hint of anticipation and a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"I don't think it's a big problem." Ren Zhong has the space radiation data he found from the main world, so he is more confident. "Now the most critical thing is to verify the recovery. Can the small booster rocket we left behind successfully push Dawn 1 back? Is the ejection device reliable? There are still many things that need to be verified." He turned around and faced the busy control console and nervous staff, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes. "But no matter what, we have successfully taken the critical first step, which is gratifying. We are already standing at a new starting point. The road ahead is still long, but we are ready."

"Congratulations, Professor Qian. You have worked hard during this period." Ren Zhong said to Professor Qian sincerely, his eyes full of respect. "Every step of success is inseparable from your hard work and wisdom."

"No, no, we just did what we were supposed to do, which is nothing compared to Mr. Ren's contribution to this project." Professor Qian also responded seriously with a humble smile on his face. "Without the information and data provided by Mr. Ren, we would not have achieved such a breakthrough so quickly. Your support and trust are our greatest motivation."

The two smiled at each other, knowing that this successful launch was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go, but they were confident and determined to carry out the project to the end. Behind them, the staff at the command center were also working intensively and orderly, their eyes focused on the big screen, paying attention to every move of Dawn-1.

As time went by, Shuguang-1 operated stably in space, and the data sent back were displayed on the console one by one. Every piece of data was in line with expectations, and every indicator was satisfactory. Ren Zhong and Professor Qian gradually smiled.

With the successful experience and data of the main world, and the fact that Professor Qian and his team are equipped with far more personnel and supporting tools than the main world at the same time, in the mysterious Xishan District 9, there is also a minicomputer advanced simulation verification system led by Ren Zhong. These tools are much better than the predecessors who relied on abacus to do calculations.

With such a foundation, Professor Qian and his colleagues were able to make drastic improvements and optimizations to the original design, resulting in quality, reliability and performance that far exceeded the original design.

In addition, the rocket's fuel is at least one generation more advanced than the original design's fuel, with greater thrust and greater reliability.

12 hours later, the recovery of the Dawn- unmanned spacecraft successfully returned to the ground when it passed over Dongda University as expected!
Everything went very smoothly, and the two monkeys, who were exploring space for the first time, were full of energy again after a short rest.

With the launch process a complete success, the editorial team of Dongda TV quickly took action and carefully edited the video of the entire launch process. After ensuring that all necessary technical information was properly hidden to protect the confidentiality of the country and the project, they made the image data of the launch into an exciting documentary.

This documentary not only records the launch process of the Dawn-1 spacecraft, but also includes interviews with project leaders, scientists, and engineers, as well as popular science explanations of the design and launch principles of the spacecraft. In the picture, the rocket, with a long tail flame, cuts through the sky and soars into the sky. This scene shocked every viewer.

When the documentary was first broadcast on television, thousands of people from the University of Tokyo gathered around their televisions, watching this historic moment intently. Children's eyes were filled with wonder, while adults showed pride and excitement. The news clearly stated that this was the first test conducted by the University of Tokyo for manned flight, which immediately made the public excited.

On social media, the discussion about Dawn-1 quickly heated up and became the hottest topic. People enthusiastically discussed every detail of the spacecraft on forums, Weibo, and Facebook, sharing their admiration for the technological strength of the University of Science and Technology and their longing for future astronauts.

This is the most influential major scientific and technological progress released by Dongda TV since television became a mainstream media! No one else! After all, although Dongda’s major scientific and technological progress is frequently released through the radio, there are at least more than ten major scientific and technological progress that can be said to have an impact on the world to be released every year. But no news has been as sensational as this spacecraft launch!

The TV station's telephones rang one after another, and thousands of viewers called the TV station's public telephone number, asking for the launch footage to be replayed. Even though most of them had already seen it, they still wanted to relive this moment over and over again, because this was not only a victory for technology, but also the pride of the people of Dongda.

In the following days, the image of Dawn-1 became a symbol all over the University of East China, printed on T-shirts, hats, and even painted on the walls of buildings. Children in the school discussed space travel during breaks and dreamed of becoming astronauts one day. Adults talked about the future of science and technology in the University of East China after dinner and were full of confidence in the country's scientific and technological progress.

The success of this launch is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a boost to national self-confidence. It marks a solid step forward for the University of Tokyo in the field of space exploration and lays the foundation for future manned space flights. For ordinary people, this is a meeting of dreams and reality, and a vision of infinite possibilities for the future.

"What, the manned spacecraft of the University of Tokyo has been launched successfully?" When the experts at the Big Bear Space Center received the information, they were all a little confused.

You have to know that they had just started the project and theoretical demonstration, but who knew that their opponents had already completed the first launch test? The gap was too big.

Even though the rockets and spacecraft in the Tokyo University documentary were deliberately blurred, in the eyes of these experts, just by looking at the jet of flames, they could tell that these were not blank shots fired by the enemy.

The size of the mist, the color and length of the flame cannot be hidden, but a sensitive rocket expert can use these to determine the approximate performance parameters of the rocket.

According to the information released by Tokyo University, this is obviously a high-thrust carrier rocket. However, during the recovery phase, Tokyo University completely cut off the image, leaving only the lively monkey that finally returned to Earth from the return capsule. This made these experts scratch their heads and think about what kind of spacecraft recovery technology was used here to bring the test subjects back to Earth safely.

The same scene also happened at the NASA Research Center of Rogue Eagle. As a rival of Big Bear in the space competition, the scientists of Rogue Eagle also launched a manned space flight program!
However, because the aerospace community of the University of Tokyo had been very silent before and had not revealed any news on manned space flight, they felt that although the aerospace technology of the University of Tokyo was leading, it probably lacked the necessary funds for the huge investment in manned space flight and had not yet started. Little did they know that the opponent had already been preparing for a big move, and the first move was a king bomb!

Not only did it take away the honor of being the first manned spacecraft launch, but it also successfully achieved the safe return of the test subjects!

Therefore, in theory, the University of Tokyo now has the ability to launch a manned spacecraft at any time.

The first step to conquering space now falls on the shoulders of Dongda! (End of this chapter)
