Boom!
Accompanied by the rumble of the rocket boosters, flas ignited at the base of the launch tower. In everyone’s sight, the massive Pang Wu slowly rose from the launch platform towards the sky.
At this mont, whether at the scene or watching on TV, every viewer felt a rush of excitent.
Even if you don’t understand aerospace, even if you’ve never seen a rocket launch.
But at this mont, when you witness Pang Wu ascending into the sky, your heart is bound to surge with passion and exhilaration.
"Xia Country Aerospace is aweso!"
"Go, Pang Wu, charge forward!"
"Woohoo, take off!"
"Brothers, I finally saw Pang Wu launch in person! So thrilled, fuck!"
"Head toward the vast cosmos and stars!"
"This mont feels incredibly romantic."
The spectators at the scene cheered and marveled, so shouting with excitent, others moved to tears. This is the fruit of Xia Country’s aerospace efforts spanning decades and generations of collective dedication.
Although Ding Yue knew that Pang Wu’s engine wasn’t the most advanced in the world, he understood that this was still the best effort from the nation’s aerospace pioneers.
"From now on, it’s up to us at Mist City Arts and Science University to carry the torch forward."
Ding Yue muttered softly.
Everyone carries a dream of space exploration in their hearts, and for the aerospace field to progress, technological upgrades and innovations are indispensable.
"Yue, what did you say?"
Standing beside Ding Yue, Xu Bin seed to hear him muttering and curiously asked.
"Oh, nothing, just feeling emotional."
Ding Yue shrugged lightly and focused his gaze on Pang Wu climbing into the sky.
About a minute later, Pang Wu had already disappeared from view. Watching a rocket launch from the ground is all about admiring that mont when it bursts into flas and takes off steadily—the instant of liftoff is what truly stirs the blood.
"Second-stage rocket separation."
...
"Attitude dynamics data nominal."
"Teletry data nominal."
...
"Fairing separation successful!"
Shortly after Pang Wu was launched, the escape tower separated, then the boosters separated, and finally the fairing detached. If the mission was to launch a satellite, this would be the point where the rocket and satellite separate, placing the satellite into its designated orbit.
But clearly, Pang Wu wasn’t designed for a satellite launch—using Pang Wu to launch satellites would be an egregious waste of resources.
This ti, Pang Wu was carrying a manned spacecraft.
The spacecraft entered space and began advancing toward Xia Country’s space station. After docking successfully with the station, the astronauts aboard the spacecraft could enter the station to conduct their research and experints.
In fact, this wasn’t Xia Country’s first ti sending astronauts to the space station. Several years ago, they had accomplished this already, and every year new astronauts from Xia Country enter the space station to carry out missions.
It must be said that the nation has developed impressively fast in the space station sector.
If rocket engine technology could be further improved, Xia Country’s aerospace capabilities would undoubtedly rank among the very top globally.
"Nice!"
Seeing Pang Wu’s successful launch, Ding Yue felt deeply gratified.
The spectators at the site began to gradually disperse.
At the rocket launch center, Director Chen personally witnessed Pang Wu’s successful launch, which delivered the manned spacecraft into space. Next would be the docking of the spacecraft with the space station, though the relevant personnel would handle those tasks.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, well done!"
"Nicely executed!"
After offering his congratulations to the heads of the launch center, Director Chen went back to attend to his own matters.
About half an hour later, having wrapped up his tasks at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Director Chen called Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Principal Ding, I’ve finished my work here. I’ve got so ti today—where are you? Shall we chat?"
Director Chen invited Principal Ding for a conversation.
Director Chen found Principal Ding’s vision for Xia Country’s aerospace developnt incredibly insightful. Every discussion with him left Chen feeling inspired and reinvigorated.
Moreover, collaboration between the Space Administration and Mist City Arts and Science University was becoming increasingly substantial. There would surely be more opportunities to work together in the future.
"I’m at the viewing area. Are you at the launch center?"
"Yes, let arrange for soone to bring you into the Satellite Launch Center. I’ll wait for you downstairs at the main building, and we can stroll around the center. How’s that sound?"
Director Chen replied with a cheerful tone.
"Sounds great."
Ding Yue agreed without hesitation.
What was there to hesitate about?
Entering the Satellite Launch Center wasn’t sothing just anyone could do.
"You all wait here for . I’m heading inside to chat with Director Chen." Ding Yue said to the people around him with a grin.
Everyone knew Principal Ding had plans to talk to Director Chen from the Space Administration today, so they nodded in understanding.
"Yue, should we call you at alti?"
Huang Youjie asked.
"We’ll see when the ti cos." Ding Yue wasn’t sure how long his conversation with Director Chen at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center would take.
