"Mr. Qiao, the third most frequently asked question by netizens has come out. Where will Ruida Aerospace land on the moon this time? Will it return with samples?" Pan Ruxue raised the third question and gave it to Qiao Ruida to answer.

"This time, Pioneer's landing point is the Aitken Basin at the South Pole of the Moon, and sampling and returning are not in the plan. During the first lunar exploration, our orbiter discovered an abnormal gravity area in the South Pole of the Moon. The main goal of this second lunar exploration is to try to solve the cause of the abnormal gravity at the South Pole of the Moon. In addition, due to the orbit of the moon, there is a dark area in the Aitken Basin at the South Pole that never sees the sun. After our detection, we found that there is a high probability of water ice in this permanent dark area. It is said that water is the source of life. After achieving manned lunar landing, we at Ruida Aerospace plan to establish a long-term manned scientific research base and a large mining factory on the moon, and water will definitely be indispensable at that time. If all the water is transported from the earth to the moon, it will be too troublesome and the cost will be very high. This time, if Pioneer really finds enough water ice in the South Pole of the Moon, the problem of drinking water can be solved on the spot, paving the way for the construction of a lunar scientific research base."

Next, Qiao Ruida answered several hot questions raised by netizens. He was delayed here for more than half an hour before being released. When Qiao Ruida entered the rocket flight control hall, there was only half an hour left before the launch of the rocket. The last batch of staff on the scene evacuated in an orderly manner, and several swing arms connected to the first-stage rocket and the Pioneer lunar exploration spacecraft were opened one after another, and the rocket launch entered the final sprint stage.

Half an hour later, the most thrilling moment finally arrived, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!" As the commander counted down, a stream of white flammable gas spurted out from the tail of the rocket, and then was ignited by the ignition device, turning into a blazing flame, spraying directly downwards, encountering a large amount of fresh water stored at the bottom of the diversion trough, and finally turning into a large amount of water vapor, gushing out from the four diversion troughs, forming a large amount of white mist, filling the surroundings of the launch tower. At the same time, accompanied by the huge roar of the engine, it was overwhelming and pervasive, covering up all the noise, and the on-site spectators and the audience in the live broadcast room were greatly shocked.

Two seconds later, the Star Rocket engine accumulated enough power to push the main body of the rocket and the Pioneer lunar spacecraft slowly into the air, leaving the launch tower, flying higher and higher, faster and faster. Warm applause and cheers rang out at the rocket launch site. This excitement seemed to be contagious, and the engineers and technicians working in the flight control hall also applauded. Then, tens of millions of netizens in the live broadcast room were also excited, and all kinds of gifts of all sizes were continuously sent out as if they were free.

"It was the first time I watched a rocket launch through a holographic projector. The terrifying tail flame and the overwhelming steam rushing towards the camera were just like they were happening right in front of me. That scene was so shocking!"

"The Star Rocket is the world's largest launch vehicle in service, only slightly smaller than the Saturn V, the moon-landing rocket. It would be strange if you weren't shocked by the live broadcast."

"Have you noticed that the combination of the Star Rocket and the Pioneer lunar spacecraft looks really weird?"

"I really want to go to the scene and watch a rocket launch up close. Watching the live broadcast is already so exciting. If I were at the launch site, how shocking would it be?"

"It seems that the daily commercial satellite launches by Reda Aerospace are open to the public. Even ordinary tourists can enter the launch site with their ID cards and watch the rocket launch and satellite launch up close."

"When I saw this scene, I regretted it. When I was filling out my application after the college entrance examination, I also wanted to apply for the aerospace major, but my parents jointly dissuaded me. They said that the aerospace major had no future and that after graduation, I could only work in a national research institute and would not make much money. It would be better to apply for the computer major, where it would be easy to find a job after graduation and the salary would be high. At that time, I had just become an adult and didn't know much about the major and employment situation. I listened to my parents and applied for the computer major. Now four years have passed and I have graduated from college, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to find a job related to the computer major. On the contrary, the aerospace major, which was once unpopular, has become the object of pursuit by various private aerospace companies due to the scarcity of talents."

"Hey, after watching the live broadcast of the rocket launch, I realized that aerospace is the greatest career on earth and the ultimate romance for men. I'm a sophomore this year, and I don't know if it's too late to transfer to the aerospace major now."

"I remember when Ruida Aerospace was just established, it was in urgent need of various talents and also recruited university graduates of other majors. Unfortunately, I was a junior at that time and missed the best opportunity to join Ruida Aerospace. Now two years have passed, Ruida Aerospace has developed into a leader in the domestic private aerospace field, a unique existence. The employees are paid high salaries and good benefits, but it is countless times more difficult to join it."

……

With the joint attention of tens of millions of netizens, the star-rocket flew higher and higher, faster and faster, and soon disappeared at the end of the sky. In the official live broadcast room, after the star-rocket disappeared, it switched to the onboard camera in time to capture the video signal. The ground was seen moving away quickly, and then the whole picture of Ruida Space City, Black Shipo, and the prairie of Meng Province appeared in the live broadcast screen one by one. On the eve of the separation of the first-stage rocket, a part of the arc edge of the earth even appeared in the live broadcast screen, which shows how terrifying its flight altitude is.

About five minutes after the Star Rocket took off, the first-stage rocket completed its mission and the fuel was about to run out. "The first-stage rocket separated and entered the recovery process. The main engine of the Pioneer spacecraft started and continued to take off and leave the earth." With the issuance of the latest instructions, the mechanical locking structure that fixed the first-stage rocket and the Pioneer exploration spacecraft automatically loosened and gave both parties an outward thrust to avoid a collision between the two. In this way, the first-stage rocket and the exploration spacecraft separated smoothly. The densely packed engines at the tail of the first-stage rocket were shut down one by one, leaving only the three engines in the middle, which were still working to maintain the flight posture of the first-stage rocket and slowly descend. As for the Pioneer exploration spacecraft, the two anti-gravity engines at the tail were successfully turned on, spewing out light blue tail flames, relaying the spacecraft to fly into space.

Warm applause rang out again in the rocket flight control hall, especially the people in charge of the research and development and daily work of the Star Rocket, they were particularly happy. The Star Rocket has completed most of its mission today, and the rest depends on whether the rocket can be successfully recovered when the first stage lands. Since the successful first launch test, the Star Rocket has experienced more than a dozen launches of various sizes, and it still maintains the terrifying record of all successful launches and all successful recoveries. In this launch, the Star Rocket's performance is still perfect, and the 100% success record should be able to continue.

As expected, a few minutes later, the first stage of the Star Rocket successfully returned to the Space City and landed at the recovery site. The surface of the rocket body, which had been ablated by high temperature, was only slightly blackened without any damage. At the same time, the Pioneer lunar exploration spacecraft also left the atmosphere and entered space. Due to its sufficient power, Pioneer did not slowly accelerate around the earth, but chose to accelerate directly and enter the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. It is expected that Pioneer will reach the vicinity of the moon in two days. This speed is much faster than any lunar probe launched by humans in the past, and even faster than the manned Apollo series spacecraft, which took at least one day to reach the moon.

The rocket launch site and the rocket flight control center were both filled with joy, with applause and cheers that lasted for a long time. Media reporters, tourists, space enthusiasts, and the largest number of Ruida Aerospace staff hugged and congratulated each other. After the successful launch of the lunar exploration spacecraft, Ruida Aerospace held a brief press conference, and then ended today's live broadcast, and the reporters were sent away.

That night, all the employees of Ruida Aerospace and some of their relatives gathered in the employee cafeteria for a celebration dinner. Everyone toasted and chatted, and it was so lively. Qiao Ruida joined in, drinking and laughing with everyone, but he only stayed at the scene for an hour before he received a video call request from Du Qingqing, and used this as an excuse to leave the cafeteria and return to the villa. It is said that high-brow music is appreciated by few people. As Qiao Ruida's status and position continued to improve, fewer and fewer people could talk to him on an equal footing. Many times, Qiao Ruida felt a sense of loneliness. "It's lonely at the top. Is this why emperors in the past liked to call themselves widower?" Qiao Ruida lay on the sofa in his villa, feeling inspired and muttering to himself.

"Honey, I didn't hear you clearly." Du Qingqing's voice came from the smart speaker, and her holographic image was automatically projected onto another sofa.

"Nothing, Qingqing, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?" Qiao Ruida smiled slightly and answered casually, thinking: Fortunately, in addition to the success in my career, I have a beautiful woman by my side, and relatives like my parents and younger sister. With them around, I don't have to worry about being alone.

"I do miss you, but we are so far away from each other, there is nothing I can do even if I miss you." Du Qingqing glanced at Qiao Ruida with some resentment. The charm that she inadvertently revealed made Qiao Ruida's heart beat fast.

"Distance is not a problem. Just wait, I'll come find you right away." After that, Qiao Ruida changed into a tight-fitting outfit and walked out of the villa, calling Jarvis at the same time, "Old Jarvis, drive my Mark armor over here."

"Got it, boss. There are three Mark armors stored in the basement of the villa, No. 42, No. 39, and No. 28. What size do you want to wear?"

"No. 42, right? I remember that the No. 42 Mark armor has a stealth function, which is just right for my operation this time." As Qiao Ruida made his choice, the security door leading to the basement opened automatically, and a red and gold mecha stepped out, then automatically decomposed into several parts, flew to Qiao Ruida's body, and reassembled into a complete set of armor.

"Woohoo, take off--" Under the cover of night, Qiao Ruida flew into the sky, left Ruida Space City, and headed straight for the courtyard in Beijing. Of course, while flying the Mark Armor, he did not forget to turn on the stealth function, otherwise, a humanoid aircraft without any markings would be shot down by missiles if it broke into the airspace of Beijing.

The flying speed of the Mark Armor was very fast. In order to reduce the flying noise, Qiao Ruida only used 30% of the power and reached subsonic speed. Only 20 minutes later, Qiao Ruida arrived above his courtyard, then found the right position, quickly landed, and landed directly in the backyard. Then the Mark Armor automatically separated from Qiao Ruida and was taken into the dimensional space by him.

"Honey, I'm back!" Qiao Ruida shouted before entering the room, fearing that Du Qingqing would be frightened. There was a ping-pong sound in the room, something fell to the ground, and then there was the sound of footsteps going down the stairs. When Qiao Ruida walked into the living room on the first floor, Du Qingqing, wearing cartoon pajamas, rushed down the stairs like a gust of wind and threw herself directly into Qiao Ruida's arms.

"Honey, why are you back so soon? Have you had dinner? Do you want me to go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of noodles?"

"No, I want to eat you now!" After saying that, Qiao Ruida bent down, picked up Du Qingqing by the waist, strode upstairs, and went straight to the bedroom.

An hour later, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Du Qingqing lazily lay in Qiao Ruida's arms and whispered softly, "Husband, how did you get back? When we talked holographically just now, you were still in Ruida Aerospace City, right? It's only been 20 minutes, and you're back in Beijing. Even taking a plane can't be that fast."

"Have you forgotten that I have a Mark Armor? The straight-line distance from Ruida Space City to Beijing is only over a thousand kilometers. If I want, with full thrust, I can return to you in just a few minutes." Qiao Ruida lowered his head, kissed Du Qingqing on the forehead, and said casually.

As Qiao Ruida's bedmate and the person he trusted the most, Du Qingqing knew many of his secrets, including the existence of the Mark Armor. However, Qiao Ruida rarely used the Mark Armor, so Du Qingqing subconsciously did not think of it.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering how you could come back so quickly. It turns out you deployed the Mark armor. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by military radar, or being witnessed by passers-by, who would take photos and post them online?" Du Qingqing asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. My Mark armor has radar and optical stealth functions. As long as I don't want to, no one can find me. It's getting late. I have to fly back early tomorrow. Let's go to bed now." (End of this chapter)
