Chapter 46 That Big Guy Is Going to Heaven

Time flies.

It was like the wind on the Gobi Desert, blowing by in a flash.

Ever since Lin Jianguo risked his life to transport back that batch of equipment for building large aircraft.

The atmosphere at the entire 091 base changed.

That feeling.

It's like a pot of boiling water.

Although the lid is still on.

But the heat inside had already made the lid pop and throb.

It could burst forth at any moment.

Zhao Di has been quite busy lately.

Busy eating, busy sleeping, and busy arguing with the system uncle.

Because the system has been assigning her strange and unusual homework lately.

For example, draw a circle.

It also has to be drawn perfectly round.

Or you could have her build a tall, pointed tower with blocks.

It also needs to be made sure it doesn't tip over.

Zhao Di lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), holding a crayon in her hand, her little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle.

"Uncle, I'm not drawing anymore."

"Drawing circles is so boring."

"I want to go outside to see the firecrackers."

The system sighed in her mind, feeling utterly disappointed.

[Host, that's not a firecracker.]

That is the culmination of human civilization.

That was a divine sword that pierced through the atmosphere and embraced the stars and the sea.

Besides, having you draw circles is to train your spatial geometry skills.

Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway.

Since you want to see it, let's watch as much as we want.

Anyway, that big thing is going to be erected today.

Zhao Di was delighted to hear that she could go see the big guys.

Their eyes lit up immediately.

He threw the crayon aside.

He scrambled down from the kang (a heated brick bed).

Put on those tiger-head shoes.

They ran outside with a clattering sound.

"father!"

"father!"

"I want to see the firecrackers!"

Lin Jianguo was wiping down the jeep in the yard.

That was a car specially approved for him by Commander Zhang.

This makes it easier for him to patrol the base.

I heard my daughter call out.

Lin Jianguo quickly put down the rag.

He wiped his hands on his trouser leg.

He scooped up the little bundle of flesh that rushed towards him.

"Oh my little darling."

"Run slowly, don't fall."

"What kind of big firecracker?"

"We can't wander around today, the base is full of people."

Zhao Di wrapped her arms around Lin Jianguo's neck.

The little finger pointed to the tallest tower in the distance.

"That's the one!"

"That pointy one!"

"The fairy uncle said it's going to heaven today!"

Lin Jianguo looked in the direction his daughter was pointing.

His gaze instantly turned serious and intense.

That's the launch site.

A giant, silver-white cylinder.

It stands quietly in the embrace of the huge launch pad.

In the sunlight.

It shimmered with a breathtaking metallic luster.

That is "Dongfeng".

That's several thousand people in the entire base.

I worked day and night for two whole years.

It was Zhao Di who created this miracle with that wooden top and that lump of mortar.

"yes."

"It's going to take off."

Lin Jianguo muttered to himself.

He tightened his grip on his daughter's arm.

"Walk!"

"Dad will take you to see it!"

Although that place is an absolute no-go zone.

But who is Zhao Di?

That was a special-class meritorious serviceman codenamed "Fortune."

That was Commander Zhang's most beloved.

In this base.

There was no place Zhaodi couldn't go.

The jeep rumbled to the perimeter of the launch site.

Martial law has been imposed here.

There's a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

They were all heavily armed soldiers.

They stood ramrod straight.

They resemble poplar trees rooted in the Gobi Desert.

I saw Lin Jianguo's car.

The sentry snapped to attention and saluted.

His eyes were full of respect.

This applies not only to Lin Jianguo, a combat hero.

It was especially the little head sticking out of the car window.

"Hello, Zhaodi!"

The sentry shouted.

Zhao Di waved her little hand with a smile.

Hello, Uncle!

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle!"

That childish, sweet voice.

The young sentry blushed as he was yelled at.

It warmed my heart.

I wish I could throw the gun over and hug the child.

The car stopped at the entrance of the command center.

Commander Zhang was standing at the door, smoking, wearing an overcoat.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

Cigarette butts littered the ground.

It seems he's quite worried.

Zhao Di was seen arriving.

Commander Zhang threw his cigarette butt on the ground.

The toes crushed it fiercely.

That weathered face.

In an instant, a flower bloomed.

"Oh my, our little lucky star has arrived!"

"Come quick, come quick!"

"Grandpa was just about to come looking for you!"

Commander Zhang snatched Zhao Di from Lin Jianguo's arms.

His stubble was rubbing against his little face.

"Grandpa, stab!"

Zhao Di pushed away Commander Zhang's large face with disdain.

"Grandpa, when are we going to light that big firecracker?"

"I want to hear a sound."

Commander Zhang laughed heartily.

"It'll be here soon."

"We're just waiting for Zhaodi to give the order!"

This is no joke.

This test firing.

It was originally scheduled for yesterday.

The weather station said the wind was too strong.

It has been postponed.

The wind was a bit weaker today.

But the cloud cover was still thick.

No one was sure what to do.

Commander Zhang was just worrying about this.

What if it hits?

The signal was blocked by clouds.

Or perhaps it was struck by lightning.

That would completely ruin everything.

But now Zhaodi has arrived.

Commander Zhang suddenly felt at ease.

This child is blessed with good fortune.

She said it could work.

Then it will definitely work.

"Walk!"

"Let's go inside!"

"Let's go to the best spot to see it!"

Inside the command center.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Hundreds of instruments are flashing.

Dozens of operators were wearing headsets.

Staring at the screen.

He kept repeating various data to himself.

"Pressure level is normal!"

"Voltage number two is stable!"

"Inertial navigation system self-test complete!"

"The gyroscope speed is normal!"

Chen Zhiyuan sat in the chief engineer's seat.

Her hair was a complete mess, like a bird's nest.

The lenses of my glasses were completely fogged up.

He was clutching a pencil tightly in his hand.

It's about to break.

They saw Commander Zhang carrying Zhaodi in.

Chen Zhiyuan felt as if he had seen a savior.

Stand up quickly.

"Is Zhaodi here?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Sit here!"

Chen Zhiyuan pointed to the center of the hall.

That position was originally reserved for the supreme commander.

That is, the C position.

That's where you get the best view.

Directly facing that huge main screen.

Zhao Di didn't stand on ceremony either.

With its short legs, it climbed up the tall chair.

His two legs were dangling in mid-air.

Swaying back and forth.

She pulled a handful of sunflower seeds out of her pocket.

That was just when I went out.

Aunt Wang from next door gave it to her.

"Crack".

Zhao Di cracked open a melon seed.

That crisp sound.

In the deathly silent hall.

It looked particularly out of place.

But it also miraculously relieved the tension that was about to explode.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

I saw that little tyrant sitting in the center, eating sunflower seeds.

I felt inexplicably relieved.

Zhao Di is there.

What's there to be afraid of?

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Isn't there a divine uncle to take care of things?

"Reporting to the Commander!"

"Launch window has opened!"

"All indicators are normal!"

"Request ignition!"

The launch commander's voice trembled slightly.

That was exciting.

I was also nervous.

Commander Zhang took a deep breath.

He did not give the order directly.

Instead, he lowered his head.

Watching Zhao Di struggling with the sunflower seed shells.

“Zhao Di.”

"Grandpa is asking you something."

"Shall we start the fire now?"

This is putting the fate of the nation on the intuition of a three-year-old child.

If it were someone else...

They must think this commander has gone mad.

But the group of people present.

Who hasn't witnessed Zhao Di's magic?

Who hasn't eaten Zhao Di's steamed buns?

Everyone held their breath.

He stared intently at Zhao Di.

Zhao Di stopped eating sunflower seeds.

Tilting her little head.

I looked at the big screen.

The screen displays the weather outside.

It was gloomy.

It doesn't look like a good day.

She asked the system in her mind.

"Uncle, can you light a fire?"

"That cloud looks so dark, is it going to rain?"

The system yawned lazily.

What kind of rain is this?

Those were cumulonimbus clouds, but they'll dissipate soon.

This system has just checked the atmospheric circulation.

Five minutes later, the clouds and fog cleared.

It's a wonderful day.

[Host, tell that old man.]

【You can order now.】

This is a sure win.

Zhao Di received an affirmative answer.

He immediately perked up.

She slammed the sunflower seeds in her hand onto the table.

With a wave of her little hand.

That kind of presence.

He's even more imposing than Commander Zhang.

"point!"

"My uncle said so!"

"The clouds are about to disappear!"

"The firecracker is about to fly high!"

These words were spoken.

Chen Zhiyuan suddenly looked at the weather radar.

really.

The echoes of the originally thick cloud layer.

It is dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if it had been pushed aside by an invisible hand.

"Amazing!"

"It's really over!"

"The weather conditions are improving!"

"Meets Level 1 launch criteria!"

The meteorologist was so excited that his voice cracked.

Commander Zhang laughed heartily.

That heavy stone weighing on my heart.

It shattered instantly.

He turned around abruptly.

He grabbed the microphone in front of him.

His voice was loud and clear, like a bell.

The entire hall vibrated and buzzed.

"Attention all!"

"I am Zhang Aiguo!"

"Now I give the order!"

"Initiating launch procedure!"

"Countdown ready!"

The red lights in the lobby began to flash.

The alarm sounded.

Those exhilarating moments.

It's finally here.

Lin Jianguo stood behind Zhao Di.

My palms were sweaty.

He looked at the huge rocket on the screen.

I prayed silently in my heart.

father.

mother.

The mother of my child.

You guys keep an eye on things from up there.

This is a huge machine made by us Chinese.

We absolutely must make it fly up!

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

The countdown began over the loudspeaker.

Every single number.

It was like a heavy hammer blow.

It struck right at everyone's hearts.

Zhao Di also shouted.

Although she is not very good at counting yet.

Sometimes a few numbers will be skipped.

But right now.

No one corrected her.

Everyone followed her in her childish, babyish voice.

Let's count down these final moments together.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Zhao Di suddenly jumped up from the chair.

Two little hands were raised high.

It's like trying to launch a rocket into the sky.

He shouted loudly.

"ignition!"

"Fly!"

With that command from her.

The operator pressed the red button hard.

"boom--!!!"

Even through thick concrete walls.

Even if they are several kilometers apart.

That tremor from the earth.

It spread throughout the body instantly.

On the screen.

A ball of bright orange flame.

It suddenly gushed out from the bottom of the rocket.

That was the super fuel that Zhao Di had mixed.

That's energy hotter than the sun.

A huge plume of white smoke rose into the air.

It blotted out the sky and blocked out the sun.

That enormous thing, tens of meters tall.

Supported by the raging flames.

Slowly.

Yet, they remained steadfast.

It left the launch pad.

They left the earth.

Towards the stars and the sea in the sky.

They launched an attack!
