"Haha, it's okay if it's lost, because we have plenty of spare remotes here. We just need to adjust the frequency, it won't cause any problems!"
Lu Yuan had already guessed that the other party would definitely have a backup plan. Then he saw the other party take out several identical remote controls from the drawer under the table and put them in his palm.
"Look, these are all spare remote controls, just in case of an accident!"
"Alright, let's not delay, let's get started now!"
Xiao Pinghai nodded, then picked up the microphone and said to everyone, "Attention all departments, attention all departments, we are now adjusting the time. Five minutes countdown, three, two, one! Debugging!"
As a crisp ticking sound rang out in the room, the clock returned to midnight.
Lu Yuan was a little excited at this moment, while Xiao Shan and her family stood behind him, barely daring to breathe, their eyes fixed on the large screen in the distance.
Dad and Xiaoshan's dad exchanged a glance and then stood up straight. After all, they had both served in the military before, and they were already filled with anticipation and pride at launching such a national strategic weapon.
Being able to participate in observing the satellite launch site was already incredibly exciting, but I never expected to witness my son pressing the launch button himself, which made me even more excited.
This sense of honor was even more exciting than when Lu Yuan saved so many people. This is not to emphasize which kind of honor is more powerful, but rather his sense of mission and honor as a soldier.
And so, everyone stood there, and those five minutes felt like an eternity to Lu Yuan, his hands trembling slightly.
He dared not place his thumb on the red button, fearing that he might accidentally press the launch button and cause the launch to fail. He even regretted taking on the launch mission, as he was not good at this type of launch and felt it would be better to leave it to someone else.
However, he now had no choice but to quietly watch the countdown on the big screen.
As the countdown reached fifteen seconds, Lu Yuan's breathing became a little rapid. He turned his head to look at Xiao Pinghai beside him, who had a slight smile on his lips.
"When it's down to the last second, you can press the button. Don't be nervous, just like pressing the TV remote at home!"
Lu Yuan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. What the other party said sounded simple, but it was not so simple to do.
Lu Yuan knew what this remote control represented; once it was pressed, their fate would be changed.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Three, two, one!"
"emission!"
The instant Xiao Pinghai shouted "Launch!", Lu Yuan pressed the button hard.
He was even a little worried that if the remote control in his hand malfunctioned or was inaccurate, it might lead to a launch failure. However, he was overthinking it; the remote control for the satellite rocket was very sensitive to press.
The instant he pressed the button, a thick cloud of smoke appeared on the large screen in the distance, followed by a burst of intense flames.
Lu's father and Xiaoshan's father stood to the side and couldn't help but salute, their eyes fixed on the rocket slowly rising on the screen.
At this moment, everyone in the control room was intently watching the data on the screen in front of them.
Lu Yuan felt like he was suffocating. He was afraid that if he couldn't help but exhale, it would cause the mission to fail. His heart was racing, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
As the rocket slowly ascended into the sky, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look up at the transparent ceiling. He saw the rocket's tail trailing thick smoke as it sped towards the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from his sight, while Xiao Pinghai stood to the side, staring intently at the data on the computer in his hand.
"Pay attention to the wind direction! Pay attention to the wind direction! The rocket is currently at an altitude of 20 kilometers, with a northwest wind of 30 meters per second! The air humidity is 30%, and the PM2.5 level is..."
"The radiation levels currently reported by the sensors are within the normal range; there are no abnormalities!"
"The rocket is flying smoothly, staying in its designated orbit, and maintaining synchronization with the Earth!"
"..."
Since the rockets outside were no longer visible, they could only be faintly seen as small red dots in the sky.
However, many telescopes have been set up around the launch site, so the images transmitted through these telescopes can clearly show the satellite's current location, altitude, wind speed, and various environmental indicators.
At this moment, Xiao Pinghai, who was standing to the side, looked down at the data on the computer screen and immediately shouted.
"We have reached the rocket's designated position. We can now continue moving forward using the rocket's thrust and inertia. Prepare to shut down the engine. Three, two, one, shut down!"
Then, the operator below immediately pressed the shutdown button, and the flames in the rocket's engine instantly went out. Then, it began to continue flying forward by inertia.
Upon arriving at the designated location, everyone present became excited, because there was an even more important matter to be done next: whether the separation of the rocket's launch vehicle and the satellite would be successful depended on this step, making it extremely crucial.
"Observe the flight speed!"
