Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"Understood, thirty seconds countdown!"

The entire hall fell silent immediately after the final command was given.

At the same time, the chat in the live stream also stopped tacitly at this moment.

Everyone watching the live stream held their breath, their eyes glued to the massive rocket on the screen.

At this moment, space enthusiasts all over the world and in all countries are patiently waiting.

Fang Jing, along with Zhou Yuan and other teammates, stood guard in the lobby of the base, their fists clenched, their hearts pounding with tension.

"Ten seconds left!"

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!"

"ignition!"

"Boom!"

The live broadcast then switched to the launch pad.

As the ignition command was given, the igniter burst into flames, igniting the fuel ejected from the rocket engine.

A huge ball of fire emerged from the rocket engine nozzle.

The colossal rocket, 150 meters long and weighing 7,000 tons, slowly ascended amidst a burst of flames.

Furthermore, its speed is increasing.

faster and faster.

Until the people on the beach could only see the exhaust plume from the rocket's nozzle.

A bright sun shone on a dark beach in the South China Sea.

At that moment, the entire sky was as bright as day, illuminated by a dazzling light.

On the beach, tourists from all over the world who had come to see it all looked up at the sky and exclaimed "Wow!"

The only sound on the entire beach was "Wow!"

Of course, it also occasionally includes some national treasures such as "awesome" and "wow".

At the same time, in the command center, the commander issued another order:

"Attention all departments, takeoff time: 23 minutes 45 seconds and 30 milliseconds."

"Wenchang, remote sensing and control are normal."

"Xishan, optical radar tracking is normal."

"Yuanwang-1, remote sensing and control are normal."

"..."

A series of powerful sounds echoed in the control room and were broadcast live to the world.

At this moment, all the audience members and all the Chinese people were incredibly excited.

They didn't dare cheer yet; everyone was staring at the live stream and at the aviation staff.

In another shot, the rocket, shining like the sun, gradually disappears into the clouds.

The flight continued, but ground-based cameras could only capture a faint outline of the rocket.

Fortunately, the live stream was switched back to the control center.

The camera on the rocket is recording its flight.

"Didi dididi——"

Suddenly, a burst of rapid machine activity in the control center made everyone watching the live stream hold their breath.

What's going on here?

"The rocket has reached the expected altitude; first and second stages have separated!"

The commander's commands were swift and clear.

"Separation of Level 1 and Level 2 complete!"

In the footage, the massive rocket's first stage is pushed open and slowly falls into the vast ocean, while the second stage ignites immediately upon being launched.

"Second stage ignition successful!"

"Entering the designated orbit!"

"boom--"

Only then did the command center erupt in enthusiastic applause.

The tension on the faces of all the aerospace staff disappeared.

Some people stood up excitedly, some hugged each other excitedly, and some waved their arms excitedly.

"it is good!"

Old Zhu, standing in the distance, was also filled with excitement.

The first launch was a complete success – what a great start!

"Fairing open, solar panels deployed normally, payload has reached the designated position. Please verify, all telemetry centers."

"Approval completed in Wenchang."

"Approval for Xishan has been completed."

"..."

"Dawn understands!"

At this moment, the commander finally showed a relieved smile.

That's true success.

The second-stage rocket has high thrust, so its speed to orbit is naturally faster.

A bright red screen instantly lit up on the large screen in the command center.

The inscription on it reads: "The launch of the Storm-9 Y1 rocket was a complete success!"

Tonight is destined to be an exciting night.

The live stream room had been buzzing with excitement since the beginning.

"It worked! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!"

"Then the moon landing program is about to begin, I'm looking forward to it."

"One shot, one kill! Who else can compare?!"

“Awesome!!!”

"..."

Besides the online celebrations, people on the beach outside the launch center also sang and danced upon receiving the news of the successful launch on their mobile phones.

A group of middle-aged people excitedly raised the national flag.

The national flag fluttered in the wind on the beach.

A group of people stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, dancing and singing "Ode to the Motherland" at the same time.

Just like when the J-20 flew low over the air at the airshow back then, they sang in unison amidst the roar of their engines.

"Singing praises to our beloved motherland, as we march towards prosperity and strength!"

Chapter 25 Tell the truth

Xishan Base, underground section.

After the launch was completed, Mr. Zhu came here in person.

The smile on his face didn't stop the moment he saw Fang Jing.

He patted Fang Jing hard on the shoulder and said excitedly:

"As you've seen in the news, it was a great success. The lunar landing program has been officially approved, and the subsequent rockets are under construction at a rapid pace."

"The lunar spacecraft, including the lunar base, and the astronauts are all being urgently selected."

You deserve a share of all the credit!

"Mr. Zhu, you flatter me. You see, everyone is working hard, so I can't just sit idly by, otherwise my old man would definitely beat me if he found out."

Fang Jing made a polite remark, but he was naturally quite proud inside.

However, what he said was also the truth.

He idolized scientists like Professor Zhu, who dedicated themselves to the country and gave their all.

Although he is not even one ten-thousandth as good, now that he has the ability, he should try to catch up and learn from him.

He was deeply moved every time he heard the words, "I am willing to prostrate myself on the ground to wash away the shame on my body for my motherland."

"Haha, let's not talk about that anymore. Besides coming here to tell you this good news..."
