"Thank you all for taking your precious time to participate in Leso's first rocket launch in person. I feel honored, but also feel deep pressure. I will try my best to ensure that this rocket launch is successful and not let everyone down!"

Xia Yang's words elicited kind smiles from Lawson, David and others.

After saying a few words casually.

Xia Yang winked at Ed, walked to the elevator, and prepared to go to the rocket launch control center upstairs.

The lobby on the first floor of the command building only has a reception function, and the command and control center for rocket launches is upstairs.

So of course Laurin and the others couldn't go up, but there was a big screen in the lobby downstairs, so they could watch the entire rocket launch.

Ed knew that Xia Yang wanted to question him, so he said hello to Lawson and the others, and hurriedly followed Xia Yang into the elevator.

"How come Lawson and the others are all here? The planned first rocket launch is pretending to be a failure. The TV station has already broadcast the entire event. You still call Lawson and the others over. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Xia Yang thought Ed had called Lawson and the others over, and as soon as the elevator door closed, he scolded Ed.

The TV station was allowed to broadcast the whole rocket launch. Xia Yang just wanted to avoid standing out, so he publicized the mistake of Leso's first rocket launch.

Unexpectedly, Lawson and his group of Sper's upper-class people almost all came over, so it would be too embarrassing if the rocket launch failed.

“Mr.

I just found out, at most one or two hours before you did, and you also knew their identities. David from Sper International Airlines and old Speaker Miles were all from Sper's upper echelons, so they all came, and I wasn't

can drive them away."

Ed looked aggrieved.

Xia Yang's face turned dark, and he immediately believed that Ed had been wronged this time, because Lawson liked to do this kind of provocative thing.

"I guess I blamed you wrongly."

Xia Yang patted Ed on the shoulder and apologized, then looked embarrassed, "What should I do now? A large group of people came to the scene to watch, and they are all big shots from Sper. If the rocket launch fails, I don't want to lose face, so

The rocket launch failed and the plan was cancelled. Can you please make changes and make the rocket launch successful?"

Xia Yang felt that face was more important than pretending that the rocket launch failed.

After all, the people in the hall downstairs were all Sper's upper-class people, who came specifically to support him, so it was not good to have people come here happily but come back disappointed, and he himself would lose face.

Especially since Blanche brought a group of beauties with her, she couldn't let Blanche lose face too.

"Yes, there is no problem with the rocket. I just quietly added a small program. As long as the rocket is not launched, it can be canceled. However, our original plan was to pretend to fail, so the rocket was not loaded with positioning satellites."

Ed replied. The plan was to pretend that the rocket launch failed, so naturally expensive positioning satellites would not be installed on it.

"Then why don't you go quickly? Hurry up and put the positioning satellite in and launch it normally."

At this time, they arrived upstairs and the elevator door opened. Xia Yang urged Ed to quickly put the positioning satellite into the rocket and launch it normally without pretending to have failed.

"Then this launch is normal. Next, let's pretend it failed."

Ed asked again before leaving.

Xia Yang's face turned dark, and he really wanted to open Ed's head to see what was inside.

The first rocket launch was successful, but if it failed again, then it was not a technical problem, but a management problem. This is not good for a high-tech company. If people lose trust, how can they still receive orders?

"No need to pretend to fail anymore, we will launch normally in the future."

Xia Yang decided not to pretend, and all future rocket launches were successful.

In fact, pretending that the rocket launch failed is just a habit of being cautious. In fact, it is not necessary to be serious.

Because compared to the aviation turbofan engine, the crown jewel of industry, the technical difficulty of rockets is much lower.

To put it simply, a rocket is a big firework with a belly of solid or liquid fuel and a large nozzle. In more advanced rockets, a re-ignition chamber is added to allow the fuel to burn more fully and the smoke emitted to be whiter.

Countries like Jin Dynasty, Yilang, etc., which are almost back in ancient times, can launch a few rockets at any time, but the technical threshold for rockets is not very high.

Just like Marcos in his previous life could build rockets, but asking him to build aviation engines would definitely be too much.

Leso is the world's top aviation engine company, with monster turbofan engines and beast vector engines, absolutely the best in the world.

So successfully building a rocket is easy to accept.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Xia."

Ed happily went down to execute the instruction of successful rocket launch.

Of course I am happy, after all, I have saved a lot of money. Originally, I pretended that the rocket failed to launch and the rocket turned into a big firework. Now I can send a few positioning satellites up and the rocket turned into a big firework.

Ed ran over and arranged for someone to load the satellite into the rocket and launch it normally.

Xia Yang came directly to the command center with his bodyguards, and then apologized to Lawson and others in the hall downstairs through the radio.

"Everyone is very sorry for wasting some of your time. In order to ensure the success of this rocket launch, I have to re-check the rocket. I am sorry for wasting everyone's time!"

Xia Yang's words once again aroused the kind smiles of Lawson and the others. No one was surprised. Their arrival brought a lot of pressure to Xia Yang. Of course, a rocket worth tens of millions of dollars cannot be inspected too much.

But they all guessed wrong. Xia Yang was naturally not under any pressure. The reason why he did this was just to buy time for Ed to install the positioning satellite into the rocket.

Ed acted quickly and didn't keep Lawson and the others waiting long.

He immediately canceled the small procedure of the failed rocket launch and quickly arranged for people to load the satellite into the rocket.

Soon, engineers loaded the three positioning satellites into the rocket through the elevator of the launch tower.

The three positioning satellites were developed by Leso and were codenamed Lighthouse.

In order not to stand out, its performance is only a little more advanced than the GPS positioning satellites of the United States.

After receiving the notification that Ed was ready to launch at any time, Xia Yang broadcasted again.

"Thank you everyone for waiting patiently. After re-inspection, it has been confirmed that the rocket is in perfect condition and is now ready to launch!"

"9……"

"8……"

"7,6..."

As Xia Yang counted down the time, the staff at the control center, Lawson and the others downstairs, all spontaneously followed the countdown.

On the big screen, the towering white rocket just waits for the countdown to end before taking off into the sky.

"2...1, launch!"

Xia Yang pressed the rocket launch button.

at the same time.

The towering white rocket on the launch pad suddenly spewed out a large plume of white smoke from its tail, and then as the rocket slowly lifted into the sky, red flames were revealed.

The flames spurted wildly, and the powerful thrust lifted the heavy rocket up and continued to rise. Then it flew higher and higher, and the speed became faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the white rocket flew into the clouds and was no longer visible.

However, the big screen switches to radar display.

Everyone can still see the flight path of the Explorer 1 rocket.

Explorer 1 is rapidly breaking through the atmosphere and flying away from the blue ball.

The speed is so fast, even from the radar, the speed is scary.

It must be fast, because if the rocket wants to escape the gravity of the blue ball, it must reach the first cosmic speed, which is 7.9 kilometers per second.

Just imagine how fast the rocket is.

You may think that if the rocket is launched and does not explode, it is a success.

Bang bang...!

The hall on the first floor burst into applause.

Lawson and David kept applauding, and Blanche and Lisa's hands were red from clapping.

At this time, Xia Yang had already arrived at the lobby on the first floor. He resisted not being familiar with these laymen and waved his hands to suppress the applause. "Explorer 1 is the first heavy-duty launch vehicle developed by Leso. This time, the mission is to launch three rockets."

The lighthouse positioning satellite is sent into orbit. After entering space, the first-stage rocket will break away, and the second-stage rocket will complete the final mission. As you can see, now that the rocket has entered space, the first-stage rocket is preparing to automatically break away and fall to the Blue Star."

really.

Lawson and the others saw on the big screen that Explorer 1 was split into two, one section of the rocket body fell off automatically, leaving only a short section of the rocket head that continued to fly into space.

The detached first-stage rocket had already been calculated and would fall into the uninhabited waters of Spur. At the same time, investigators were waiting in the waters to prepare to salvage it.

The first is to prevent technical leaks, and the second is to recycle as much as possible.

Soon, after the first-stage rocket broke away, everyone saw the picture of the first-stage rocket falling on the big screen.

At the same time, through the radio, the personnel in the control center upstairs continued to report, "The second-stage rocket accelerated normally and arrived at the predetermined orbit in one minute. It was ready to launch the No. 1 lighthouse positioning satellite. The No. 1 lighthouse satellite was successfully launched. The No. 2 lighthouse satellite was launched successfully.

Prepare, the No. 2 lighthouse was successfully launched, the No. 3 lighthouse satellite was successfully launched... the second-stage rocket adjusted its angle and entered the blue ball gas layer to be destroyed..."

Until the end, bang bang bang... there was applause.

This time it was not Laurin and the rest of the group of amateurs in the hall who applauded blindly, but the entire command center staff applauded together, and everyone was full of excitement.

Letso's first launch of the rocket was a perfect success, which made them excited.

Hear the applause and excited cheers from the radio.
