Chapter 542 Wait, Where Is the Level 3 Rocket?

Halo 1, these four big red characters are engraved on the side wall of the rocket.

The declared launch project is a meteorological satellite. Using a weather satellite as the first launch target is undoubtedly less difficult than other launch projects. But even so, for a small country with no aerospace technology foundation at all, it is somewhat difficult to install a satellite on the first launch.

Not only the special observers of the United Nations, but also about 30 local and foreign journalists were invited to the launch site by Jiang Chen. This exciting moment should be shared by people all over the world. They were specially allowed to enter the military camp and stand on the guard tower to film the rocket launch process.

This is destined to be a historic moment for the new country.

A space power?

These uncivilized islanders had never thought about it, but when they saw the newly arrived foreign neighbors discussing this issue with disbelief on their faces, the natives of the Pannu Islands could not help but feel strong emotions in their hearts. pride.

How do national self-confidence and national cohesion come from? It is to see your country achieve something that others think is impossible for you, and to accomplish great things that others think is impossible for you.

Who would have thought that this small island country, which has just completed a regime change and has a total population of only tens of thousands, can become a country with the ability to independently launch satellites? It’s simply a fantasy!

However, this fantasy scene is destined to be recorded in history.

"Thirty-meter launch pad height? Are you kidding? Mr. Kerwin." Henry glanced nervously at the rocket outside the window, and then looked at Kerwin who was doing final inspections with the staff.

Henry visually measured the height of the rocket on the 30-meter-high launch pad, which was about 32 to 34 meters. Of course, Starlink Trading would not hand over the specific design drawings of the rocket to them, but with his experience in the aerospace field, he could still visually detect the shell parameters of the rocket.

There are pocket-sized launch vehicles, but Henry never believed that this small country could achieve this level. Taking into account the thrust ratio of the rocket fuel and the size of the rocket engine's nozzle, estimate the thrust of the rocket. No matter how you think about the design of this rocket, it is unscientific.

Not to mention whether such a rocket can accelerate to the first cosmic acceleration and escape the gravity of the earth. Henry was very skeptical that such a rocket could fly out of the atmosphere.

As for the suspicion of this UN special observer...

"Do you think I'm joking?" Kerwin raised his eyebrows and looked at the observer.

"Take a look at the structure of this rocket.

I knew this thing wouldn't reach the sky. "Henry mocked.

"That just shows your ignorance. You will never know that our rocket engine-"

"Ahem."

Hearing Jiang Chen's cough, Kerwin immediately stopped talking. The confidentiality agreement of Star Ring Trade was no joke. He had just realized that he had almost leaked the secret.

Jiang Chen then looked at Henry.

"Mr. Henry, I remember that you are a special observer of the United Nations, not a technical consultant invited by Star Circle Trade. If you are worried that the firecracker outside the window cannot fly. You can go back to the ship first. I promise, you will be there before you go back. When the time comes, no soldiers will stop you."

Henry's expression changed several times uncertainly.

Of course he couldn't run back to the ship at this time, otherwise the media outside would definitely give him a close-up of his face and put it on tomorrow's headlines with the title of coward. It's okay to say that the rocket failed to launch. It can only be said that he had foresight about the outcome of the rocket. But if the launch is really successful, it will be a slap in the face.

Since Jiang Chen dares to stand here, it means that even if the launch fails, the safety here is still guaranteed. So Henry calmed down a little and stopped saying anything.

If Jiang Chen knew what this guy was thinking. I wonder if he will laugh out loud.

What security measures are in place? The reason why he dares to stand here is because he is not worried about the launch failure at all.

But others obviously don't think so.

Henry shut up, but several other observers were whispering and exchanging opinions.

"I bet this thing can't fly into the escape layer. The first-stage rocket is too short, and even with NASA's technology, it is impossible to achieve this level. I suspect they miscalculated a decimal point during the design. No one noticed until the finished product was produced." A slightly fat white man tilted his head and whispered to his colleague who was also an observer.

"Aha, except for the first half of the sentence, our views are basically the same." The white woman with bob hair said in a serious tone.

"The first half of the sentence? Do you think they can fly out?" The man slightly increased his volume in disbelief.

"At most, it can pass through the middle layer. If there is no launch failure." The woman teased.

"Pfft——"

Glancing at the United Nations observers, Kerwin's eyes flashed with anger. Although he did not design this rocket, he also put countless efforts into understanding the technology involved. As a researcher pursuing truth. He would not allow anyone to insult this landmark rocket launch technology like this!

Kerwin clenched his fists, about to explode.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Prove it to them. Remember you're a technician, not a boxer."

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Kerwin realized that he was almost impulsive. Seeing Jiang Chen nod to him, he took a deep breath. Forcibly dispelling the displeasure in my heart, I quickly walked to the launch pad and turned on the intercom.

"Report on the rocket situation."

"...Received, information is being compiled...The rocket inspection has been completed! Launch operations can be performed at any time!"

"Command received it, all personnel pay attention, start the ignition countdown!" After speaking into the intercom, Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, walked to the launch position, opened the cover of the fiberglass, stretched out his hand and placed it on the launch button. Kerwin turned the intercom back on and stared at the rocket outside the window.

The atmosphere in the launch room became tense. Henry stopped the rashness in his eyes, and the United Nations observers also stopped whispering and turned their attention to the rocket launcher outside the window.

"Launch countdown begins! 5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0! Ignite!"

The moment he heard the zero, Jiang Chen pressed the red launch button.

Milky gray air waves instantly obscured the launch site outside the window, and at the same time a dazzling red light shot out from the smoke screen. The launcher separated, and with the help of thick flames, the rocket began to accelerate and shoot straight into the sky.

Jiang Chen retracted his hand that pressed the launch button and stepped aside leisurely.

Beads of sweat broke out on Kerwin's palms, and he stared nervously at the parameters on the launch interface.

Henry glanced sideways at Jiang Chen, who was calm and composed, and then took a peek at the launch interface. When he looked at the soaring height, speed, and acceleration, the contempt on his face gradually turned into seriousness.

"Height 48KM, passing through the stratosphere!"

"Height 81KM, reaching the warm layer, start turning!"

"219KM! Halo 1 successfully turned, the rocket was level, and the first stage rocket began to separate!"

"Separation successful! Reached the first cosmic speed..."

"..."

As the reports came out, the expression on Henry's face became more and more shocked. The several observers standing behind him had disbelief written on their faces.

Seeing their appearance, Kerwin's eyes flashed with pride, but he was not distracted and still focused on the launch mission. His eyes were locked tightly on the operation interface, guarding against possible accidents.

Jiang Chen didn't have any expression, because he knew that there was no possibility of accidents with this rocket produced by the Fishbone Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.

"Height 483KM, successfully broke through the atmosphere!"

"Height 1000KM, rocket continues to accelerate!"

"..."

"At an altitude of 35,000 km, the rocket is close to synchronous orbit! The second-stage rocket separates!"

On the screen, the second-stage rocket connected to the camera slowly turned off and ejected from the rocket head. At the same time, the tail end of the rocket head ignites, and with the help of the jet gas, it moves toward a farther orbit.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the slowly rising height of the launch interface.

When it stopped at 35785KM, everyone held their breath!

Stopped!

Stopped! There is no error at all!

"The payload has arrived in geosynchronous orbit! We succeeded!"

With this exciting shout, all the staff in the launch room cheered and threw the work documents into the sky. Kerwin was as excited as a child, waving his fists and hugging his colleagues.

Henry looked at the launch interface with a ghostly expression, unable to say a word.

Affected by the atmosphere, Jiang Chen also smiled triumphantly and walked leisurely to the previous observers who were whispering that there was no chance of Star Ring Trade launching successfully.

The fat white man's mouth was so wide open in surprise that he could fit an egg into it. Walking next to him and the white woman, Jiang Chen teased.

"I'm sorry that our rocket had a launch failure. The rocket not only passed through the atmosphere, but also reached synchronous orbit."

At this moment, Henry reacted as if he had come back to his senses. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked in disbelief.

"This, this is impossible...wait, where is the three-stage rocket?"

"Three-stage rocket?" Jiang Chen laughed as if he heard something funny.

As if he had laughed enough, he paused and said playfully in front of Henry, who had a stiff expression.
