"Are you ready?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Of course, we've been preparing for this day. Now, it's our turn to shock the world! " The person in charge of the rocket base smiled confidently and raised his chin, looking proud and complacent.
As a professional, he had the right to do so.
"Start your performance according to the plan and open this grand ceremony for us. Today, you are the main characters." Ren Baqian wasn't stingy with his praise.
It wouldn't be too much to praise this group of volunteers who didn't seek fame or profit.
Of course, this was on the premise that they weren't lazy.
Otherwise, was it because their necks were too stiff or because his 40-meter-long saber wasn't fast enough?
From the looks of it, they were doing very satisfactorily.
Although the progress wasn't as fast as expected, this was science and had to be done step by step. Even if you knew how to fly, you had to reach the basics first.
Half a month passed by in a flash, and today was the day of the rocket launch.
Many of Dayao's big shots gathered at the rocket base that was seven to eight hours away from the capital, even though they didn't understand the significance of this launch.
"It seems like Er Hua won't be able to make it back in time." Ren Baqian turned around and walked to the empress.
"Oh," the empress responded faintly and didn't care much. In fact, she was only slightly better than Tong Zhenye and the others.
At least she knew that with satellites, it was much easier to surf the Internet and watch TV series.
"Er Hua actually wants to witness history," Ren Baqian said casually, not caring about the empress's reaction. "Although I'm in a hurry, I encountered some trouble."
"Someone dares to cause trouble for her?" the empress was slightly surprised.
"That's right. I opened this mountain and planted this tree … Er Hua encountered a robber who damaged her carriage and threw a big tantrum." Ren Baqian chatted casually with the empress as if he was gossiping.
This incident was indeed quite unexpected.
Even Xia Yonghe was beaten into submission. As a result, Er Hua encountered a robber who cut the tree on her way back. Her carriage was too fast and crashed into the robber.
This incident was really like a joke.
"However, there are benefits to it. At least it taught her a lesson." Ren Baqian grinned.
"Speeding is fun for a while, but it's always fun for a long time!"
The empress rolled her eyes. Other people might not have noticed anything, but the empress had been on Earth for a long time.
"You don't seem to be thinking about today's ascension. I thought it was important to you. The empress said.
Ren Baqian nodded. "Your Majesty, you are right. It is indeed very important."
"I believe in them. Besides, even if they fail, it's not a big deal. It's just a delay. We are on the right path. Even if we fail once, as long as we can find the problem, we will succeed next time. "
"What can this thing do in the sky?" Tong Zhenye moved closer to Ren Baqian and the empress and asked.
In this regard, he did not have any concept.
Although this thing seemed very powerful to be able to fly in the sky, it didn't surprise him that it even had an airplane.
Ren Baqian thought about how to explain this to Tong Zhenye. Finally, he said, "In the future, every time you go to a brothel, I will know immediately."
"Now you know." Tong Zhengye curled his lips. Then, he thought of something and widened his eyes. "Are you saying that this thing can monitor us?"
"This can't be done, but as long as we succeed this time, the next satellite will be able to do it."
"In other words, every time you go to a brothel, Her Majesty will know immediately?" Tong Zhenye pretended to be shocked and gloated unabashedly.
Ren Baqian glanced at him and gritted his teeth. Could this old man still converse?
Furthermore, was the empress someone who cared about such things?
Yes, she was.
However, she wasn't the one monitoring the surveillance every day. He was still the one in charge of this thing.
Everyone chatted for an hour. Thousands of miles away, many students from the Black Bamboo Academy were watching the live broadcast of the rocket in their classrooms.
This was a major event for Dayao and the world.
The bunch of old fogeys in the imperial court didn't understand the significance of the rocket, but the students in the school did.
These students were very excited for the entire day.
Even though the image on the screen was of a rocket that stood there motionlessly.
They understood the significance of this rocket. Dayao had finally taken an important step in exploring this world.
Even though not all of them knew about the existence of the foreign races and didn't know the military value of rockets and satellites.
To them, this rocket represented the technological strength of Dayao, represented an important step forward for Dayao, and also represented their future.
In addition to them, many street corners in the capital were also broadcasting live, but there weren't many people watching. Most of them didn't understand the significance of the motionless iron cylinder.
No one explained it to them.
As the preparations came to an end and the countdown was about to end, Ren Baqian's surroundings gradually quietened down.
Although most people didn't know the significance of the rocket, it didn't prevent them from knowing that Zhao Prince Consort attached great importance to it, which meant that this thing was extremely useful.
As the last seconds ticked by, Ren Baqian looked at the button in the hands of the staff member in front of him and pressed it heavily.
"Start, ignite," Ren Baqian said in a deep voice.
Following the sound, everyone, whether it was behind the huge glass in the base or in the streets of the Black Bamboo Academy and the capital thousands of miles away, could see the rocket spitting out orange flames.
Although they didn't know how big this rocket was, they could roughly guess its size by comparing it to the other buildings in the footage.
With the thrust of the flames, the rocket gradually began to lift off.
"It's flying!" The young people in the Black Bamboo Academy cheered.
The graceful Tong Lan sat by the window, looked at the mirror image on the screen, and listened to the cheers from afar. Her mouth twitched slightly.
She felt that if this thing was in her hands, she would be able to do it.
Even so, she was still fascinated by the rocket on the screen as it gradually left the ground and soared into the sky.
This was what she should be doing.
"Ignition successful!"
"The rocket has lifted off. Everything is going according to plan. There's no problem."
"The first segment is beginning to detach, and the second segment is igniting."
Ren Baqian looked up at the sky along with the noise around him.
At present, it seemed like they were doing well.
"It's a success." Half an hour later, the rocket gradually left the atmosphere and began to enter the predicted orbit. Only then did the base begin to burst into thunderous cheers, and everyone looked excited.
After a few years of hard work, they had finally achieved it.
However, this was only the beginning. The next step was to send the satellite into the sky.
And this rocket would fall in a few hours.
The orbit that the rocket reached wasn't a complete vacuum, and there was still thin air. After the centrifugal force decreased, it would be brought back to Zixiao Earth and Star by the planet's gravity.
However, that wasn't important anymore.
The world was so big, and only God knew where it would land.
After all, he didn't have enough experience.
…
Historical Records: On the night of the 346 year Great Xia, a meteor fell into the palace.
Several palaces were destroyed, and many people were injured.
Emperor Xia: We were attacked by Dayao! What was Qi Zixiao trying to do?
This wreckage clearly had the style of Dayao!
