"ignition!"

The circulating liquid lithium tumbling in an invisible reactor.

With a string of dense bubble injections, from the invisible nucleus, the energy of the closest source of this stellar system is liberated. The solid enthalpy in the working chamber is ionized into a high-temperature plasma emitting light and heat at the moment of injection into the ionization chamber, and is sent to the engine nozzle in an orderly manner under the constraint of the magnetic field...

As if for a moment, the light blue arc lights up from the rear of the space shuttle, pushing the huge fuselage to move forward...

forward!

Keep moving forward!

The speed is getting faster and faster, and the tires are gradually leaving the runway. In the landing gear, the nose is lifted up slightly.

Dragging the blue arc, carrying the human cockroaches for space, the silver body did not enter the depths of the clouds, heading for the blue sky...

Watching it go, the technicians standing next to the runway cheered and threw the helmets in their hands to the sky, venting their excitement.

At the same time, in the ground command center less than 500 meters away from the runway, the same cheers were heard.

Listening to the whispering cheers, Hou Guangshen, who finished the countdown, breathed a sigh of relief, slowly took off the headset worn on his head, glared at everyone, and gently wiped the corner of his eyes with cuffs.

How many years have passed.

His dream has finally become a reality.

Finally, he did not live up to the teacher's efforts...

The designs that were seen as useless at the time were finally on the new body and reborn.

Outside the launch center.

Soldiers guarding the launch center also saw the blue arc that had fallen into the clouds. ,

Although the duty does not allow them to express their excitement too much, but on the face of Zhang Gangyi, it is obvious that they can see the joy and pride that can't be hidden.

Far from looking at the direction in which the blue light disappeared, the expression of the head of the group did not change much. He just raised his right hand silently and set up a military ceremony.

God bless China.

May you return triumphantly!

......

At the same time, outside the launch center.

A suv stopped.

Yuan Huanmin, who got the authorization to enter the scene from the relevant department, hurried to the main entrance of the launch center. Then Yu Jiji, who came down from the car, followed closely behind him and walked quickly toward the door.

I noticed the two people coming to this side. The security personnel who stood at the door immediately took the first half step and stopped the two.

"Stand up, the front is the control area!"

Yu Shuji said nothing about the authorization documents in his hand.

"This is the authorization document of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and quickly give way."

The security officer took the authorization document and took a closer look, then returned the document to Yu Shuji.

"Sorry, the license is only a permit for the blocked area. You can move around in this area, but you can't go in."

Yuan Huanmin squinted and said, "What do you mean?"

The security officer said with a blank expression: "This is a private area."

Yu Shuji’s eyes are wide: "You!"

This sentence is indeed nothing wrong.

Although this is a controlled area, it is ultimately the land of Star Technology. The documents in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology allow them to pass through the control area. However, if you want to enter the private land of the company, you may have to go to the court or other special departments to get authorization...

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the launch center.

Then a team of army soldiers ran through the launch site like a flying field and rushed toward the command center.

Looking back at the commotion on the launching site, the security guards stunned in a slight surprise. Obviously, they did not figure out what was going on inside. They just saw the head of the Dai and the chief engineer of the Aerospace Assembly Center, Hou Guang, and looked solemnly. The launch center came out.

I also noticed the commotion in the launch center. I saw Yuan Huanmin, who was wearing the head of the group, immediately approached and asked urgently.

"What happened? Is the plane malfunctioning?"

The head of the group is preparing to speak. Hou Guang is the first to step on him and shakes his head.

"That is not, the launch has been very successful so far, just..."

Yu Shuji swallowed his mouth and followed, asking, "Just?"

Dai Tuanchang sighed and looked calmly.

"Professor Lu has disappeared. Now I am not sure why. We are looking for him. If you have any clues, I hope to provide it to us as soon as possible..."

"People are gone?" Yuan Huanmin opened his mouth in a strange way, and it took a while to make it difficult. "Where did he go?"

"I was still at the launch center... Is it?"

Suddenly stopped the words, Hou Guang’s expression suddenly became strange.

He noticed the change in his face, and the head of the group looked at him and asked him hurriedly.

"What? Where is he now?"

Hou Guang’s expression is strange.

"I am not very sure, but it is possible, just possible...he may be on the plane."

Yuan Huanmin: "???"

Director: "???"

Dai head: "???"

Soldiers on duty next to the station; "???"

On the space shuttle?

Lying in the trough? !

......

At the same time, above the clouds.

Nie Yun sitting in the cockpit, the whole hand is shaking.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who did not know where it came from, he stunned for a while before he spoke.

"How are you here?"

I leisurely gave myself a cup of coffee, and Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the crew, smiled and said, "My plane, why can't I be here?"

Nie Yun: "..."

Nie Wei: "..."

This is so sensible that they don't know how to refute it.

Staring at the coffee in the hands of Lu Zhou, Nie Wei finally couldn't help it.

“Is it time to drink coffee now?”

"Now is the only time to drink coffee," Lu Zhou, who stirred it with a spoon and felt without a sense of crisis, said in a chattering voice. "When you fly to the troposphere, I have no chance to drink."

The acceleration of electric propulsion is much slower than chemical propulsion. Even in good condition, it takes more than ten hours to reach low-earth orbit.

He had enough time to enjoy the cup of coffee before entering the weightless environment.

As for whether there is more than one person in the original plan, there will be no security risks. This is also no need to worry. When Xiangyun was designed, it was designed with the maximum capacity of 10 people. Don't say that one more person is no problem, that is, no more than two problems.

Nie Yun and Nie Yan looked at each other and swallowed their mouths and spoke with their eyes.

‘Brother, what? ’

'do not know! Do you want to return? ’

‘But the cost of launching once is afraid of being an astronomical number, so we will return to it...’

‘Can astronomical figures be important to the ancestors? ’

At the thought of this, Nie Yun could not help but gnash his teeth.

This guy……

It doesn't matter how important it is to your own safety.

To be honest, at the moment he set foot on the shuttle, he had left life and death behind him, and even pressed the testament under the medal box in his drawer. However, now, those who are dying are unable to say anything.

Not only that, it is to play, and he has to safely drive the plane back.

Nie Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot position, hesitated and looked back.

‘It makes sense... I asked the ground command. ’

Looking at the brothers and sisters who were facing each other with their eyes, Lu Zhou probably guessed what they were planning, so he coughed and said.

"I know what you are thinking, but I suggest you not to do this."

"If you return now, not only will our efforts over the past year and the efforts of thousands of researchers be put to the forefront, the entire project will also face the risk of bankruptcy."

Deliberately repeating the words, Lu Zhou paused for a while and continued.

"And... I am not alone with you, I have to go with you. I have reasons to do this."

"No matter what the reason is, you are a soldier. Obeying the order is your duty. Isn't it? The space team will send you over there, let you listen to me, you should listen to me. Now, I ask you to concentrate on completing yourself. The task is just fine, other things don't require you to worry about, not to worry about me. I get up and run for an hour every morning, the physical quality is better than you think, when I don't exist."

Is this a matter of physical fitness?

What is it that does not exist?

Nie Yun vomited in his heart, but after hesitating for a while, he finally dismissed the idea of ​​returning to the air.

As Lu Zhou said, obeying orders is the duty of the soldiers.

From the moment his chief appointed him to here, Lu Zhou was his superior. Even if his identity is not a soldier, he still has the power to command him.

Therefore, even if he is reluctant in his heart, he must fulfill his mission to the end...
