"Engine 8 ignited."
"Ignition completed. The asteroid has successfully entered the C2 orbit. The fourth orbit change will occur in ten minutes. All units, get ready. "
The tense atmosphere in the launch site relaxed. Including Kelvin, everyone's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and there were even whispers of cheers. Every orbit change was a great challenge for the space launch center, which had zero experience in this field.
But soon, everyone's fists were clenched again.
The next orbit change would occur in ten minutes. They had no time to rest before all the orbit changes were completed.
"Roger … parameter input completed, confirmed correct."
"Engine 3 decelerate."
"Engine 6 output increased by 10%."
If one had to describe how difficult this project was, it would be like operating a scalpel with a wire wire and operating on a patient several kilometers away. Other than a few asteroids that stayed in orbit for a long time, Kelvin almost couldn't sleep for the rest of the time.
Unless he was really tired, he would let his assistant take over for a while.
Finally …
"The Bennu asteroid successfully entered the D1 orbit from the C2 orbit."
"All rocket engines have been successfully turned off."
"The next orbit change is in ten hours. At two o 'clock, I hope to see all of you at your posts. Now, except for the monitoring team, dismiss and rest. "
There was no cheering. All the staff were relieved. They simply packed up the things on the table and walked out. They just wanted to eat in the cafeteria, take a shower, and sleep in bed. There were still eight hours until two o 'clock. They could sleep a little longer this time, but they didn't know when they would have to wait for the next time.
Kelvin rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the chair.
In order to maintain focus, he stood the entire time to command the scene. Now that the asteroid's orbit change was successful, his entire body was like a taut string, relaxed.
He walked next to Kelvin, and his assistant handed him a cup of coffee.
"Have a cup of coffee."
"No, it will keep me awake."
Kelvin declined the coffee from his assistant. He continued to sit in his seat for a while, then got up and walked out the door.
It had already entered the D1 orbit. After five more orbital changes, it would completely integrate the asteroid into the Earth-Moon system. This work was simply torturous. The fatigue he had accumulated this week was almost as much as the fatigue he had accumulated last year on the space elevator project!
This kind of thing could only be done once. Next time, it would be better to let the assistant do it. With this practical experience, he had already conceived a sketch in his mind regarding the establishment of the asteroid mining project department, the division between the various departments, and the implementation of the entire project into systematic steps.
When he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, he bumped into Ivan, who was in charge of the military.
Kelvin looked at the Ukrainian with some surprise and walked up to say hello.
"Ivan? Why are you here? "
"I'll wait for you here." Ivan grinned, gestured to the secretary next to him, and sent a document to Kelvin. "Celestial Trade plans to establish an Aerospace Defense Force. Our military needs the help of your Space Launch Center. This project was personally approved by the chairman. You'd better go through it. "
"Just send it to my assistant. It's too embarrassing for you to come here in person." Kelvin shook his head with a smile and reached out to take the document. However, when he saw the mark on the cover, he was taken aback, and his originally drowsy brain suddenly woke up. "S-Level Secret?"
"This is why I came here in person," Ivan said solemnly. Ivan said solemnly, "The content of the document involves the highest level of confidentiality of Celestial Trade, and only you can view the content."
"I understand." Kelvin nodded with a serious expression.
After explaining this matter, Ivan quickly left.
Kelvin looked at the document in his hand, then looked at the cafeteria. Finally, he sighed, shook his head, and walked in the direction of the office.
"Forget it … let the assistant bring me a sandwich. I probably won't be able to eat lunch."
While muttering, Kelvin took out his phone.
As a senior executive of Celestial Trade, of course, he knew how important S-Level Secrets were. What he needed to do now was to roughly read the document and then stuff it into his safe that could only be opened by fingerprints and irises.
…
At Coro Island Airport, a civilian plane landed on the airport runway.
A tall Russian beauty walked through the airport lobby with her suitcase and stopped at the airport gate. She attracted the attention of countless tourists heading to the departure lounge. It wasn't that no one had the courage to come up and try to strike up a conversation. It was just that the beauty didn't even respond to these strangers who came to strike up a conversation.
A black car stopped at the airport gate.
The Russian beauty's eyes lit up, and her long blonde hair fluttered in the wind. She immediately dragged her suitcase and walked forward.
This scene could be said to be envious of the men on the side who were ready to go up and hit on her. They all cast their jealous gazes towards the unprepossessing car. The most infuriating thing was that the man in the car sat there from the beginning to the end, and it was the beauty who put the suitcase in the trunk.
Countless people who didn't get to eat the grapes began to criticize in their minds.
"How blind is she to fall for such an ungentlemanly man?"
"Fu * k, another flower stuck in cow dung!"
"…"
However, whether it was the unattractive car or the beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, they obviously didn't care about the thoughts of these people. Soon, the car drove onto the highway and disappeared from the sight of the people, leaving behind countless people who failed to strike up a conversation and shaking their heads in regret.
Of course, if these people knew who was sitting in the car, perhaps all of them would swallow back their words.
"I didn't expect you to personally drive to pick me up. I thought it would be your little follower."
Natasha joked as he fastened his seat belt.
"Anyway, I'm free today, and I promised you," Jiang Chen said casually as he started the car.
It was said that it was inconvenient for people with big breasts to wear seat belts, and Natasha perfectly illustrated this point.
"Where's your Lamborghini?"
"I don't drive it much now."
"Why?" Natasha looked over curiously.
"I always feel that I'm past that age." Jiang Chen laughed.
"What brand is this car? I haven't seen it before. "
"Luer GT300, the brand I invested in."
"Pure electric car? No wonder it's so quiet. " Natasha examined the layout of the car. "In Russia, only girls drive pure electric cars."
Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched. He glanced at Natasha, who was smiling at him, and continued to focus on driving.
"This shell, is it titanium alloy?" Natasha knocked on the door with her knuckles and asked nonchalantly.
"Superplastic steel."
"PVC profile?"
"It's not that kind of thing." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Simply put, even if it's hit by an RPG7 rocket or a Barrett sniper rifle, it can ensure that the passengers in the car are unscathed."
"I always feel like you've changed," Natasha suddenly said.
"Changed?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment and looked at her, puzzled.
"I feel like … you're a lot more mature than before? Of course, maybe it's just my illusion. "Natasha shrugged and said bluntly.
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.
"Everyone will mature from young, and finally grow old … What's more, I've experienced twice as much as you."
When she heard Jiang Chen's words, Natasha laughed out loud, but when she heard the latter part, she was slightly taken aback.
"Twice? I don't think so. Time is equal to everyone. "
"Is that so?"
Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't answer.
It had only been three years since he obtained the bracelet, but he felt like ten years had passed.
He was probably the only one who could understand the true meaning behind these words.
