In addition, in the strange world of Runeterra, there could be no traffic control in the sky, so he drove at a very high speed and landed at the satellite base in just half an hour.
Completely different from the endless grasslands that Evolution came to explore the terrain later, the established rocket launch site was bustling with relevant scientific researchers, who were handing over tasks and work to mechanical engineers from time to time.
Heimerdinger, Jayce, Viktor and other important scientists from Piltover University were already in place, and several other councilors and members of large families also arrived one after another.
Even Camille was present at the satellite launch...
Of course, except Li Lin, her great-niece Abir, and the bodyguards of the Philos family, no one, including the congressman, dared to go to her side.
After greeting everyone, Li Lin went to the rocket launch area with Heimerdinger, Jayce and Viktor who were wearing protective clothing. He quickly checked the condition of the carrier rocket and the satellite to ensure that everything was safe.
For the remaining ten or so hours, they stayed in the command room and continued to calculate data until the sun finally set and night fell, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more tense.
Heimerdinger stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the rocket illuminated by the lights outside, with Viktor and Skye standing behind him.
The atmosphere in the command room was too depressing, and his old body could hardly bear it, so he came out to get some fresh air.
After an unknown amount of time, he looked at Victor through the reflection in the glass and asked without turning his head, "What time is it now?"
Victor checked his watch, "9:55, Professor. We should go in."
"Huh—yes, it's finally here." Heimerdinger took a deep breath and turned to pass between Viktor and Skye. "Do you think we can succeed this time?"
Viktor and Skye looked at each other and followed Heimerdinger.
"I think we can trust Li Lin."
Taking over Skye's words, Victor added: "Yes, this satellite belongs to... uh, a low-Earth orbit satellite, the definition proposed by Li Lin, about 700 kilometers from the ground, and has not flown away from Runeland.
"With the assistance of the intelligent computer, our data will not be wrong."
"That's true, kid, but you know that's not what I'm worried about." Heimerdinger shook his head.
"God...?" Sky pushed his glasses and couldn't help muttering.
"The Titans, their attitude towards humans is ambiguous. I don't know if they will allow us to master the technology that allows us to leave our home planet."
After Heimerdinger finished speaking, he walked all the way to the door of the headquarters room. Viktor then spoke, "I think we should do as Li Lin said before."
Heimerdinger stopped and the mechanical engineer guard at the door opened the door for the three of them, but he did not go in.
He looked back at Victor in surprise.
"We have to try it anyway, don't we?" Victor said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah... we have to try."
With a slight sigh, Heimerdinger nodded, then walked into the command room and went straight to Li Lin and Jayce who were at the front.
The time was already 9:58, less than two minutes until the scheduled launch at 10:00.
Everyone present was sweating in their palms.
"Are you ready, kid?" Heimerdinger asked, his eyes fixed on the display.
Li Lin took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I'm ready."
Even if all preparations are done properly, it is basically impossible for anything to go wrong.
But no matter what, I had only watched the launch of carrier rockets on TV before, but now I am personally presiding over the launch of a satellite. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
"Don't worry, we will definitely succeed." Jace patted Li Lin on the shoulder and rarely ruined the atmosphere by saying a word of encouragement.
One minute passed quickly and we immediately entered the most critical stage.
At this moment, the intelligent computer's mechanical, neutral voice echoed throughout the command room:
[The rocket launch enters the countdown stage...]
[10, 9, 8, 7…]
Each number hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Until the last "1" resounded throughout the space, the intelligent computer said the words that made everyone's breath stop:
[The carrier rocket ignites and launches! ]
At the same time, on the large display screen, the images displayed by the monitoring facilities showed that the carrier rocket spewed out hot flames that illuminated the night sky, which came into contact with the cooling water below, causing a large amount of water vapor to rise.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, the rocket carrying the artificial exploration satellite, Sky Eye, took off from the ground and slowly ascended into the sky.
