"How is it? Are you confident? " Ren Baqian sat in the room and could see the rocket standing in the distance through the glass. Countless staff were busy making the final preparations.
"I guarantee it with my head!" The tall white person in charge imitated the Chinese language.
"Why would I want your head?" Ren Baqian's expression didn't change at all.
"I'm just expressing my confidence, Your Highness. I think they all said the same thing."
"It's good that you're confident. I hope it goes well!" Ren Baqian replied faintly.
There were still too few qualified technicians in Dayao. It would take at least a year to build such a rocket and satellite. Everyone at the base had to invest in it, and they also needed help from other aspects to complete it.
If it failed, they would have to wait another year.
"Is there any problem with the orbit calculation?"
"I guarantee it with Smith and Johnson's heads!" the person in charge said confidently.
If the two researchers who were responsible for calculating the orbit heard this, their faces would probably turn green.
"You learn pretty fast!" Ren Baqian glanced at him.
At least he learned to use someone else's head as a guarantee and shift the blame.
However, before the person in charge could laugh, Ren Baqian continued, "I asked you to sit here in this position so that you can coordinate the overall situation and keep an eye on all aspects. If there is a problem, I will only look for you. If someone is going to behead someone, it will be you. "
In fact, Ren Baqian could also watch the ascension through video from the palace, but he still wanted to see it in person.
Although this was the second time, the significance was different from the last time. This time, there was a satellite!
This was what Ren Baqian valued the most at present.
The value of a low-orbit satellite was too great.
At the very least, it could ensure unimpeded communication and transmit video to understand the situation at the front line in time. This was something that radio stations couldn't compare to.
However, this time, it wasn't a communication satellite but a reconnaissance satellite that could use optical equipment at high altitude to take pictures of the ground and transmit them back.
In the case of limited functions of a single satellite, reconnaissance was obviously more important. As long as this satellite was successful, it would no longer be unknown to the 237 regions.
Moreover, Ren Baqian had two important goals. One was to observe the red moon, and the other was to check on the situation of the Earth Spirit Tribe.
This satellite also carried three small detectors that would be launched to the position of the red moon after liftoff.
Ever since he knew that the red moon was fake, Ren Baqian had always wanted to know what it was.
"Maybe aliens? Just like Earth and the Horned Dragon Galaxy? However, the technology of this extraterrestrial lifeform is slightly more advanced. I wonder how many years ago they turned this place into a testing ground? "Ren Baqian was slightly lost in thought.
If that was the case, then the joke would be too big.
The result of his hard work in this world for more than 20 years was like a joke.
Ren Baqian rejected this answer, but he couldn't help but think about it.
After an unknown period of time, Ren Baqian was awakened by someone. "Your Highness, it's about to begin."
"Oh!" Ren Baqian raised his head and looked outside. He saw that the staff had already evacuated the rocket area.
"Are you ready? All personnel evacuated? How's Apollo's work? "Ren Baqian asked.
Apollo was the intelligent robot on the satellite. With its existence, the satellite named "Sky Eye" could do more things.
Of course, its lifespan was also tied to this satellite.
After receiving the reply, Ren Baqian placed his hand on the button on the table. After a moment of silence, he pressed the button with his palm.
A huge water column rose and spewed out layer by layer. The loud noise of the rocket's liftoff was half blocked by the more than 500 tons of water that spewed out in 20 seconds. However, the strong vibration of the ground could still be felt.
If it were an ordinary civilian building, the vibration and noise would be no better than a magnitude 6 earthquake.
Almost at the same time, after the water column reached its highest point, the rocket shot out from the water column into the sky. The tail flame turned one-third of the water into white mist.
Ren Baqian looked up diagonally. After a while, he couldn't see it with his naked eye anymore. He turned his gaze to the screen at the side and heard a series of cheers.
"The first flight stage has been completed. Starting to change angle. The second stage has been reached …"
"The first cosmic speed has been reached …"
"The fairing is beginning to fall off …"
"The second cosmic speed has been reached …"
"Entering orbit …"
For an entire hour, Ren Baqian crossed his arms and stared at the screen without blinking.
The surrounding staff couldn't be bothered with him. They were all nervously watching the flight of the rocket.
"The rocket has entered orbit. The satellite is preparing to depart …"
When this sentence was heard, everyone jumped and cheered. Everyone knew that they had succeeded at this stage.
Ren Baqian's tense expression relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
Earth's launch technology was mature enough, but this place was different from Earth. The planet was larger, and the gravity was slightly higher. There were still many difficulties.
At this point, everyone could finally relax.
"Your Highness, the restaurant has prepared delicious food. Do you want to go over or should I bring it over?"
"Go over."
When Ren Baqian returned after the meal, the "Heavenly Eye" had already contacted the launch site.
"At present, the satellite has entered orbit and is in good condition. It is expected to reach the range of the Red Moon in 26 hours. At that time, a probe will be launched. "
"Zixiao is a very beautiful elliptical planet. The surface area is estimated to be 3.7 billion square kilometers, and the land area is very large. From the current position, more than 50 percent of the area is land."
Subsequently, a few pictures were sent back.
Ren Baqian finally saw the whole picture of the planet under his feet.
From the pictures, Great Xia wasn't the northernmost part. There was also a yellow and white area in the north of Great Xia, which was a desert and an ice field. He had long known that there were no signs of human habitation there.
However, this area was unexpectedly large. Other than that, there was a large area of ocean.
The 237 square kilometers of outer space were all south of the equator, extending all the way to the southernmost part of the planet. There were very few oceans as far as the eye could see, and the land area was more than 10 times that of the human territory.
Ren Baqian also saw a line on it, which was where the wall between the two worlds was located.
"This is Zixiao!" The surrounding staff looked at the picture on the screen and exclaimed.
The guards behind Ren Baqian stared at the picture and couldn't move their eyes away. After a long time, they asked, "Your Highness, where is Dayao?"
Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and drew a small area on the picture.
"It's so small …" The guards were shocked.
In their opinion, Dayao was already vast and boundless, but they didn't expect it to be so small …
"In fact, the area we control is even smaller. We still can't completely control the Sixty Thousand Mountains." Ren Baqian shook his head slightly and stared at the bottom of the map.
Soon, he would be able to grasp the situation of those foreign races.
As for the Earth Spirit Race, their ability to upload and download souls and life force really made him envious.
If there was a chance, the first thing he would do was to attack the Earth Spirit Race!
