After listening to Madeleine's words that she might not let Jim lift off again if it weren't for Li Changheng, she suddenly felt a little absurd in her heart.

Then, knowing that Madeleine was comforting herself, she couldn't help thinking about Li Changheng's luck.

And Jim can't die after experiencing the inauspicious number of Apollo 13, and luck must be super good.

After thinking about this, I suddenly felt a lot better.

After Li Changheng returned to the special lounge with Jim and Lothar, they really fell asleep shortly after washing.

Jim and Lothar, who were not drowsy, also relaxed.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Changheng, who had rested for 7 hours, felt his footsteps when Jim walked to his bed.

"Henry, wake up, wake up."

He opened his eyes and nodded to Jim. After half an hour, the three people came to the huge preparation room of the launch center by car and put on the spacesuit with the help of professionals.

There is nothing wrong with Li Changheng, but Jim and Lothar are in a little trouble.

Europe and the United States have a lot of hair, and the astronauts have to put on the heart rate test film before putting on the spacesuit. Therefore, the sound of Jim and Lothar can be heard in the preparation room from time to time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them dressed in spacesuits and appeared at the entrance of the building with their own portable life support backpacks in their hands.

The flash was stunned in an instant and had to squint his eyes.

Jim, who had experienced this situation several times, looked back at Li Changheng and Lothar.

Seeing that the two had no intention of accepting an interview, they took the lead while waving at the crowd a few meters away, and unhurriedly walked towards the car that sent the three to the launch site.

Stepping out of the car and seeing the huge 120-meter-high launch pad and the 110-high Saturn 5 carrier rocket, Li Changheng began to feel a little nervous at this time.

Because the lift-off stage is arguably the most dangerous step, any small problems arise.

The three of them are equivalent to sitting on a first-stage propeller with 2,169 tons of high-precision kerosene and liquid oxygen, and a second-stage propeller with 440 tons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

There is also a super volcano on the third thruster of 110 tons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

Not to mention the remains, you may not even be able to find the ash.

"Don't be nervous, Henry."

Jim smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "The three grades of propellers produced by Boeing and North American Airlines are still trustworthy.

Before Apollo 14, we launched a total of 9 Saturn 5s without any problems.

Therefore, the space docking, landing on the moon and returning to the earth’s orbit, are the most dangerous when entering the atmosphere. "

There is a veteran who has experienced 4 times, and this time is 5 times lift-off, Li Changheng and Lothar really relaxed a lot.

But when he got on the elevator, even Jim became silent and serious.

Because in the entire Apollo project, that is, when an astronaut had entered the command module of Apollo 1, and the command module was locked from the outside, an electric spark actually ignited the pure oxygen in the cockpit and caused a fire. accident.

And these three people became the only ones who sacrificed in the whole plan.

Thoughts diverged, and the elevator rose to the top without knowing it.

Jim walked into the passage leading to the rocket and looked back at Li Changheng and Lothar, "Are you ready?"

Li Changheng and Lothar nodded hurriedly.

At this time, unless you are afraid of a mental breakdown, it is impossible for anyone to say that they want to quit.

Even because of tension and excitement, there is no time and mind to understand what fear is.

Li Changheng followed Jim. After only a few steps, he felt that his blood was agitated. Soon the special medical team in the command center found that his heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly.

Fortunately, these people have experienced 8 times since Apollo 7, and it is clear that this is normal.

The iron frame passage of more than ten meters will soon be completed.

As the pilot of the lunar module, Li Changheng was the first to get into the command module, then Lothar, and finally Jim in the middle.

When the three of them were sitting on their own flying chairs, both of them were followed into the command cabin by the white one-piece, hooded middle-aged man.

A person stepped directly on Li Changheng's shoulders and violently stepped on him with his legs, and another person who fastened him with a seat belt was able to completely secure Li Changheng.

Otherwise, the inflated spacesuit cannot be **** at all.

When all three of them were secured, the hatch was quickly locked after the two helping people left.

The next step is to wait for the ground to do the final self-check, and then inject liquid kerosene, liquid oxygen, and liquid hydrogen into the three thrusters to actually enter the launch process.

Li Changheng glanced at the cancel launch button in front of Jim, as well as the switch to activate the escape tower connected to the command module, enduring the urge to reach out, took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes and slumbered.

But my eyes closed, but my hearing became stronger again.

There was a very slight hum, and Li Changheng couldn't help looking at Jim.

Then a few seconds later, Lothar, who had only heard the same, also looked at Jim.

Jim grinned and said, "Don't worry, the fuel pipe is injecting liquid fuel into the propeller."

Lothar and Li Changheng, who were also rookies, were relieved.

At this point, if they could see the entire rocket, they would see the shell of the rocket, which was beginning to brave the white mist representing low temperature.

And before long, ice began to form on the shell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the fuel injection was completed, the commander-in-chief Horne, who had been in charge of fourteen launch missions in the Houston command center, felt a little nervous while pressing the telescopic pen unconsciously and asked into the microphone.

"All the members of the Apollo 14 launch team listen carefully, tell me if you can launch it?"

Soon there was a response on the radio.

"The rocket pushed the monitoring team, preparations are complete, everything is normal."

Horn heaved a sigh of relief, "Return to the monitoring team?"

"Everything is normal, SIR".

"The Channel Monitoring Team?"

"Everything is normal, SIR".

"Computer monitoring team?"

"Everything is normal~lightnovelpub.net~Medical Monitoring Team?"

"Everything is normal, SIR".

"The second and third power group?"

"Everything is normal, SIR".

"Navigation group?"

"Everything is normal, SIR".

"Astronaut life support group?"

"normal."

"Lunar module group?"

"normal."

"Communication and reservation program group?"

"normal."

"Flight trajectory monitoring team?"

"normal."

"Communications and network groups?"

"normal."

"Rescue team?"

"normal."

Horn smiled and pressed the communication button, "The launch center, everything is normal, you can launch."

At the Florida Launch Center, after receiving the confirmation notice, the on-site commander immediately inquired about the launch pad.

After getting the affirmative reply from the chief engineer on site again.

Take a deep breath and press a button.

Thousands of spectators in the viewing area two kilometers away from the launch pad soon heard the sound of "60 seconds to launch".

The scene immediately became restless and noisy.

More than a dozen professional cameras, like telescopes, were aimed straight at the giant Saturn 5.
