Chapter 173 Satellite monitoring, a moldy cruiser appeared near 098!
Chapter 173 Satellite monitoring, a moldy cruiser appeared near 098!
The command hall was completely silent, everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen, with only people carrying cameras walking back and forth...
As the ignition command was given, a ball of fire suddenly erupted in the picture, followed by thick smoke pouring out from the tail of the missile, which slowly rose into the air...
Xu Zhenhua felt the slight vibration coming from the ground and was the first to stand up and lead the applause. The successful ignition meant that half of the success was achieved...
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, everyone remained glued to the big screen. The dazzling flames flew faster and faster until they disappeared into the clouds...
At this time, the staff reported loudly.
"Report! Call from Scimitar Naval Base, the rocket's orbital attitude is good..."
A few minutes later, 098 received the same call...
Xu Zhenhua finally breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, when carrying out space launch missions, the more observation points the better, preferably spread across half the globe, but the only overseas controlled area they had was the Scimitar Naval Base.
The 098 could only be brought in to make up the numbers. Before the submarine set off, Xu Zhenhua specifically ordered the 098 to sail along the equator in order to cooperate with observation. Now the submarine has advanced nearly 4000 nautical miles and is very close to Xia Wei...
The Ganbu Group on the other side was in a state of collective silence. Many of their backbones came from various places and knew very well how poor and backward the flower-growing industry was. It was hard to believe that a country that even called matches "yanghuo" had the strength to launch satellites into space.
Jiang Yan stood in the queue, pinching himself countless times. This wasn't a dream. He had never imagined that just a little over a month ago, he was fighting the White Army with crude weapons, but today he would be witnessing the pinnacle of human technology, and it was created by the base...
Initially, he was a bit reluctant to go to the Political Science Institute because of the criticism from his comrades, but now his mindset has changed and he's ready to go wherever they tell him to go...
...
The rocket image on the screen faded, switching to an animated simulation. The rocket's flight took time, and gradually, the crowd began to whisper again. It was clear everyone was excited, but they were trying hard to contain themselves...
Xu Zhenhua stood at the table and continued to quietly introduce Wang Jialie, Li Yunlong and the others...
suddenly!
Xu Zhenhua felt someone gently holding his hand. He turned around and was slightly stunned!
"Wan Shuang, where have you been? I was just looking for you!"
"I don't want to disturb you from working!"
Lin Wanshuang was a little embarrassed and spoke in a low voice. She had been a little angry before coming here. The hospital was already busy, but the regiment's logistics department had issued an urgent order to immediately carry out a top-secret medical support mission. No need to guess, it must have been Zhenhua's doing...
After arriving here, she originally wanted to hide aside and not show her face, but she didn't expect to witness such a magnificent scene. She didn't feel dissatisfied at all, but was filled with sweetness. She was so excited that she almost fell down several times and had to come to seek support...
Xu Zhenhua could still feel the other person's hand trembling slightly, and he understood something in his heart. He quietly and silently grasped the other person's hand...
The people below didn't notice anything unusual because of the seating platform in front of them. But Li Yunlong, who was standing next to them, saw it and was so happy. Haha! You two are finally together!
"Hey! Xu Zhenhua, you bastard, why are you holding a little girl's hand? This is not right!"
Suddenly, Xu Zhenhua gritted his teeth and glanced away.
"Shut up, damn it! No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak!"
"Eh? How come you don't know what's good for you? I'm just reminding you kindly, don't make mistakes in life!"
Eh? Xu Zhenhua understood instantly. When he visited him in the hospital that morning, he was snoring soundly. He probably didn't know he had registered yet, so he immediately felt like playing with him.
"Hey! Li Yunlong, I caught him. What can you do to me? Not only did I catch him, I also..."
As he spoke, Xu Zhenhua grabbed Lin Wanshuang's little hand and kissed it hard, completely ignoring the little girl's struggle.
Li Yunlong was stunned at that time, his face suddenly turned serious, but he still suppressed his temper and spoke in a low voice!
"Xu Zhenhua, I'm not kidding you. You can't make mistakes in your lifestyle! At least marry the girl first..."
Before he could finish his words, a small red book appeared in front of Li Yunlong...
"Li Yunlong, look carefully, I am a licensed worker! Hehe! You are envious! Come on, Shuangshuang, this is your uncle..."
On the other side, Li Yunlong had been copying the orders for such a long time that he knew these words by heart. Even if he couldn't read, the photo of the two of them was there, making it easy to recognize.
After a moment of stunned silence, Li Yunlong suddenly reacted.
"Damn it, Xu Zhenhua, you're so quick to cheat... Wait a minute, who is my brother-in-law? You..."
The noise didn't last long...
Following the staff's reminder, ground control put the first satellite into the planned orbit...
The whole audience fell silent again, staring at the big screen...
Xing Zhiguo tried several times to speak into the microphone, but he couldn't say a word. There was nothing he could do because he was too excited. Seeing this, Xu Zhenhua immediately took over the command.
"Everyone! Attention! For the first time in human history, we will see our beautiful home, Earth!"
As the words fell, the screen was covered with snowflakes. Then the image distorted, and then a clear picture emerged: a beautiful azure planet, like a sapphire embedded in the night sky, dazzling and glittering...
The ocean is vast and blue, the land is lush and green, and the clouds are swirling...
"Oh..." The whole audience exclaimed in unison...
This scene was so shocking that everyone's mind went blank, and their chests seemed to be filled with anger, wanting to shout and roar...
Soon, thunderous applause broke out, and the cheers almost blew the roof off...
Countless people were moved to tears and warmly embraced their comrades...
Wang Jialie's eyes were red, and his hands were almost swollen, but he still clapped non-stop, cheering non-stop...
Jiang Yan and other backbone members of the Ganbu Group showed the most obvious reaction. Many of them burst into tears. Pingnan can really reach the top of the sky. There is hope for flower farming...
Xu Zhenhua wanted to remain calm, but he couldn't. His wife hugged him tightly, crying bitterly. He could only comfort her and take advantage of her...
Li Yunlong, who was on the other side, originally wanted to hug Xu Zhenhua, but seeing this, he could only smile awkwardly and turned to hug Xing Zhiguo...
Soon after, the crowd calmed down...
Xu Zhenhua looked at the position of the dry cloth ball, smiled slightly, and gave Xing Zhiguo a look.
Xing Zhiguo understood what he meant and immediately picked up the microphone.
"Next, we will distribute satellite naming rights. The outstanding staff member of each unit will have his or her name used in the satellite naming!"
The entire audience erupted in excitement, eager eyes turning to the podium. As humanity's first satellite, its name was destined to be recorded in history. This was more exciting than just opening a single page in a family tree...
"The first one is the Pingnan County Government... The second one..."
The members of the Ganbutuan group had been waiting anxiously for a long time, especially Jiang Yan, Chen Xu and others. They reported the names of the units one by one, but there was still no Ganbutuan. Seeing that there were only a few left, Jiang Yan could not stand it any longer.
"Report! Do you have the naming rights for our Ganbu Group?"
Xing Zhiguo almost laughed out loud on the stage. As expected, the brigade commander had predicted it, so he immediately controlled his expression and responded seriously.
"No, the Ganbu Corps Core Team isn't a formal organization. We used to have one, but unfortunately you didn't want to join the Political Science Academy. So, you won't be participating this time!"
"No! I want to join the Political Science Institute..."
For a time, the Ganbu group was excited...
Before the core members could argue for long, a shrill alarm sounded...
"Report! Satellite monitoring shows a cruiser has appeared near 098!
.......
Sorry everyone, I'm in the hospital... Please forgive me~!
