Monster Factory

Four o'clock in the morning.

The raft was pulled from the runway of Skynet Airport.

The destination is Jiuquan City. This trip is relatively low-key, with only assistant Yunshi, and several monsters who are accompanying.

Almost no one in the company knows about this big event. The outside world, apart from the China Aerospace Center and the ITU organization, knows nothing about the media.

Zhongyun is 2,700 kilometers away from Jiuquan City. It takes about one and a half hours to travel. Today, it was early in the morning. Ye Qing did not have any sleepy moments. He kept using satellite phones to contact the aviation base, asking them to prepare for work, and whether the morning weather had launch conditions.

The performance of Yunshi is much worse.

She kept blinking before boarding the plane. After she got on the plane, she fell into a soft and comfortable sofa seat and blinked more frequently.

She slept soundly, and at 3:30 in the morning, she was picked up by Ye Qing.

She is not aware of the company's plan to launch satellites, and the entire satellite project is responsible for the factory.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Go to Jiuquan."

"Jiuquan...what is it?" Yunshi looked up a little hard, and the delicate five senses were full of sleepiness.

“A great city built on the Gobi.”

Then Yun Shi’s head slammed and fell asleep.

At 5:10 in the morning, the squadron flew to the edge of Jiuquan City.

The sky at this time has been transformed from a dark-colored black to a foggy one. As if it were just a glimpse of it, the foggy skyline was golden.

Like the sky, it illuminates the entire land.

The shadows retreat at an extremely fast speed and replaced by a bright golden color.

When the first morning sun penetrated the blue sky and illumined into the quiet cabin of the squad, Yunshi was also awakened by the sun. She blinked and looked strangely at the porthole to find the source of the light.

Outside the porthole, a fascinating "drawing" with some desolateness spreads in her eyes.

It was an ancient yellow, the earth was undulating, and there were wind erosion hills everywhere.

The squad finally landed on a plain of gravel dotted with green.

There are several particularly striking tall steel buildings, as well as a historic, yet sturdy airstrip runway, and a few strange buildings hidden beneath the surface that are less noticeable.

Yun Shi quickly noticed where it was from the light blue, completely steel-built building.

Yunshi is completely sleepy at this time. His expression is like a child who just entered Disneyland. "Scorpio, old... boss, here is Jiuquan Aviation Center?"

"Crap!" Ye Qing dumbfounded, pointing to the distant, white slender object protected by the blue steel building: "As long as it is not a blind man, can you recognize that it is a rocket?"

"Ah, let's see the rocket launch?" Yunshi has put her face on the porthole.

A real rocket, which is close to the height of the twenty-story building, is a combination of one piece and one piece, and the bottom is fixed on the launching frame with four large rudder wings that can stabilize the posture.

"We are looking at the rocket launch, and it is a rocket launch belonging to our company." Ye Qingchong made a snap.

......

Ye Qing, with Yun Shi, and two monsters walking into the launch center, there is already a sigh of relief.

It is not much different from what you see on the TV. This is similar to the layout of the theater. The front end is a large multi-screen combination information display wall. The display wall is a row of sitting staff.

There are a total of four rows, each row is full of displays, perhaps just a commercial satellite that is not technically difficult. Before the four rows of information processing equipment, only about half of the staff were sitting.

Ye Qing was led by two receptionists and took the viewing seat in the upper rear. Standing here, you can clearly see all the pictures on the display wall. There are not only the Long March, but also the tail of the engine, and the dazzling complex data.

Responsible for receiving Ye Qing, is the chief commander of this launch mission, Chen Fangli. He looks about forty years old, with glasses and a bit dark skin.

Like most people, when Chief Commander Chen Fangli saw Ye Qing, he always felt a lot of emotion and admiration.

Of course, there may be opportunities to launch at any time. The commander did not spend too much time to express his feelings. After he enthusiastically invited Ye Qing to the middle seat, he took out two walkie-talkies from his jacket pocket, one by one. Keep asking what.

Ye Qing and Yun Shi are curiously looking around.

"Yes, Chen commanded." Ye Qing looked at the space he stopped to ask, and asked: "If the rocket is launched, can we go outside to watch the rocket launch before launch?"

This is the question that most of the guests who walk into the launch center will ask. Yun Shi did not ask, but her eyes were shining.

"If I stand outside the building, I think it's best not to." Chief commander Chen Fangli showed a thick smile. "Because the moment the launch was made, the rocket would spray a lot and burn not too thoroughly chemical fuel."

"Our command center is still some distance from the launch tower, but when the wind blows, the taste will always drift away."

"In addition, we have long marched to the top three rockets. Even if there have not been any extreme failures such as crashes, the preventive measures must be continued. The moment before the launch, the entire site is guaranteed to be unmanned."

Ye Qing nodded, and felt a little pity. Looking at the launch through the screen, there was always a feeling of watching TV at home.

At this time, the chief commander Chen Fangli turned and said with a smile: "But upstairs we have a media studio that is especially suitable for visual observation. Just a few minutes before the launch, Mr. Ye can go there to visit."

"Mr. Ye, you know, our launch center, and occasionally send some exciting things to the sky. Official journalists will use it to send pictures to the people of the country."

"Chen command, do you have a chance to launch in the morning?"

"I hope very much. According to the information returned by the meteorological radar, the high-altitude weather conditions already have the launch conditions. But the low-altitude one, we have to wait a second." The chief commander Chen Fangli finished, and asked the walkie-talkie again.

"Weather No. 1, report the current situation."

After the current sound, there was some distorted sound in the intercom. "Reporting commander, the current wind is thirteen. We observed that 50 kilometers away, the wind has weakened to below seven knots. It is expected that after 31 minutes, the launch area The wind dropped above and met the launch conditions."

“The monitoring station reports the situation.”

“The monitoring station reported that the rocket was normal, the fuel circulation system was all right, and the launcher was on standby.”

"Very good!" The chief commander Chen Fangli stood up and said to the transmitter on the front of the podium: "All departments pay attention to the rocket, half an hour before the launch, countdown preparation."
