I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 118: Pioneers and Observers
The next day.

8:30am GMT.

Near the Arctic Circle.

at this time.

With the coming of winter, the sunshine point is far away from the Tropic of Cancer.

The night was lengthened.

and so.

Siberia knew that it was only dawn.

The site is located 170 km (105 mi) south of Aganzhe in the town of Milna in the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, and 800 km (500 mi) north of Moscow.

Here is the largest aviation base in the Far East:

Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation.

It is located in the relatively flat Siberian taiga region north of the Emtsa River and amidst numerous lakes.

Even though it’s just the beginning of winter.

The climate here is already very cold.

at this time.

Countless astronauts in white shirts were nervously checking experimental data in the base:

"The 371st monitoring of UXM-B area connection stability."

"Simulated launch vehicle first stage separation, the core module of the Heinsbrot space station is stable."

"Recheck the estimated time of disengagement."

"The Pioneer M-07 launch vehicle is expected to separate from the third stage and reach outer space.

It will still take another hour and fifty-seven minutes to enter the secondary orbital mode."

Listen to their reports.

Chief Engineer Brent Schoenatoly-Yelifsky stood in the center of the main observatory wearing rimless glasses.

He looked at the various parameters on the huge data screen.

The last day of nuclear inspection is underway.

Simultaneously.

Outside the huge main observation deck.

A few dozen meters away.

The huge blue and white carrier rocket, printed with the white, blue and red stripes of the Russian Union flag and the sunflower symbol, has been quietly standing on the internal launch pad of the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.

It is not yet time to dismantle the external structure.

Countless engineers are dressed neatly and carrying out the final inspection of the core module and the launch vehicle.

at the same time.

The research base reminder sounded:
[Scanning with the highest authority is correct]

[Designer of the launch vehicle core module: Dr. Leonid. ]

【Space Base Master Data Observatory Welcomes You】

The glass door of the main observation deck suddenly opened.

An old Russian man with a kind smile on his face walked in.

The old scholar came to Brent and stood at the same level with him to look at the data in the main observatory.

then.

He asked gently:

"What is the probability of success of tomorrow's plan?"

"10.73%, this is the highest calculated ratio."

The chief engineer of the space base adjusted his hat.

Then he said calmly:
"Are you sure you want to go ahead with this project?
It’s not too late to terminate the plan now.”

"It's so hard to have such an interesting thing, I don't want to miss it, old man."

Leonid handed him a can of non-alcoholic drink.

then.

The old man raised his head and looked outside the glass wall. The northern sky was gradually filled with the light of morning light.

He smiled and said:

“Unfortunately, the final launch phase of the [Star Cluster Orbiting Project] is about to take place.

otherwise.

I'll definitely bring you a bottle of vodka.

It must be your favorite Birch forest brand. "

Brent, the 43-year-old chief engineer of Russian Airlines, took the can of non-alcoholic drink.

Place it firmly on an empty spot on the observatory.

then.

He said solemnly:

“Since you are unwilling to stop the plan.

Then.

Please replace the subject of the 'God Gene' with me, teacher."

"You still know that you are my student."

Leonid smiled amiably. "We old people, although we may be able to live a few decades longer because of the arrival of the Origin Century and the breakthrough in the life class.

But something happens.

It would always be a pity if you can't witness it with your own eyes.

Brent, do you know how many years the UR-700K rocket, which was supposed to be used in the Soviet moon landing program, has been abandoned? "

Hearing this question sounded like a farewell conversation.

The chief engineer was silent for a moment.

then.

He answered with great accuracy:

"Sixty-four years and eight months."

Hear this answer.

Leonid said with relief:
“I didn’t learn the basic courses in vain. You and Yoklauvic were both my outstanding disciples.

Yes, sixty-four years.

It's been too long.

I don’t want to be the next outdated UR-700K.”

Hear their conversations.

All the researchers in the huge control room silently put down their data analysis work and looked at the old man.

Many people know it.

Because of this scientific gamble with extremely low chance of success tomorrow, this great researcher in the history of Russian astronomy will leave this world.

of course.

Leonid didn't seem to care. He just smiled and then said his second purpose for coming here besides saying goodbye:

"Brent, add the Clock Tower's latest high-specific-thrust propellant, 'Kepler YUZ43', to the servo system link propulsion structure."

Hearing this, Brent frowned slightly:

"Teacher, this experiment has been simulated by Experiment Group 7 before, and it can indeed increase the propulsion force to three to seven times the original.

But the success rate of the experiment will drop by another percentage point.”

“Brent.

do you know?

Daytime meteors are very rare.

And a meteor that can go upstream.

Probably, it has never appeared before in human history.”

--------------

at the same time.

Probably because of the early winter in the north

The city of Moscow remains quiet.

The basement area of the Owl Bar.

Su Wen pushed open the secret door.

Simultaneously.

He also saw Frank, who looked haggard and had dark circles under his eyes, arguing with Mr. Foster:
"no!
No matter how you analyze it, the probability of success of this space station orbit determination experiment is too low."

Danas had fallen asleep on the sofa.

As for the other people in the house, they were still awake.

But they are all in bad spirits.

Simpson's hair was almost a mess.

As a Russian fat hacker.

Staying up late is indeed a normal job for him.

But he was forced into scientific research that could change the history of human civilization.

While rapidly consuming brain cells to polish the 'God Gene Extension' algorithm, he also had to use the Tromso supercomputer to simulate the possibility of perfect orbit determination for the core module of the Heinsbrot space station.

No need to wait until the pilgrimage day.

He felt that he was really going to see God today:

"I told you, I don't know much about sublimation potions and astronomy.
But the success rate of the simulation results of this experiment is too low.

There was nothing we could do except keep our stomachs empty and enjoy the Holy Communion at St. Basil's Cathedral.

Hopefully there will be black pepper curry rice tomorrow.”

"Look at your potential."

Noah yawned and leaned against the edge of the sofa, but not the armrest, because Danas was still sleeping there.

He continued:

“This is a major event that will be recorded in the annals of civilization.

I will record you in the book then.

It said that while everyone was looking up at the sky, Simpson was caught by the night watchman for eating the Holy Communion.

"Sorry, I wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Let's listen to Mr. Kevin's plan."
