Chapter 796 Falling?

In the hall of the command center, the command, technical and control personnel who were supposed to be in their respective positions are now sitting in the viewing booth, looking at Lin Dong alone, operating in front of the console with complicated expressions.

All the preparatory work was in place, but Lin Dong did not relax at all, and still carried out the last pre-launch inspection.

Seeing that with Lin Dong's inspection, the launch site, radar station, observation point and other locations reported normal passwords in sequence, some people who had originally disapproved of Lin Dong began to look at this young man squarely.

Thinking differently, even if I am here, is it possible to complete this systematic and complicated inspection process so calmly?
In the past, everyone had their own position, and the work they did was only the part they were responsible for.I am familiar with myself or the adjacent positions, and further away, other less relevant departments have just heard of it and are used to it, but it does not mean that I can remember and remember everything when it is actually applied.

But this young man memorized all of them, and he didn't make any mistakes!
If ordinary technicians feel Lin Dong's familiarity with the steps, then Fu Chenghua and Tang Linyu are the two people who feel the most in the audience!
As the chief and deputy directors of the command center, the two have cooperated in commanding rocket launches many times. They are very familiar with the procedure of commanding launches. They are so familiar that they don’t need to recall. They know what steps should be carried out at any stage with their eyes closed. What kind of adjustments should be made for the fault and so on.

It can be said that at the level of the two of them, they are confident that they will not lose to the commander of any rocket launch command center in China or even in the world.

However, when seeing Lin Dong conduct a perfect pre-launch inspection with more proficient steps and more concise language today, Fu Chenghua had a faint feeling: Although he has overestimated Lin Dong's ability in his own side, now It seems that I am afraid I still underestimate the other party!

"Attention all units, prepare 10 minutes before launch!"

……

"Attention all units, prepare 5 minutes before launch!"

……

"Attention all units, prepare 1 minutes before launch!"

……

"The ten-second countdown begins: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, ... two, one, fire!"

"ignition!"

Lin Dong didn't press the button that symbolized ignition.All the steps went smoothly, and they have been set up in the central control software. He just stood in front of the central console, heard the ignition password of the virtual electronic sound, and moved the mouse.

On the big screen, next to the launch pad whose support arm has been released, a burst of flames is emitted from the position of the engine at the bottom of the Long March [-] rocket, which is the image of ignition, followed by a large cloud of smoke, covering the entire tail of the rocket , the flames and smoke that continue to spray are mixed together, and the range is getting bigger and thicker, and then the rocket moves as a whole, and slowly rises towards the sky.

The speed of the rocket was getting faster and faster, and some debris fell from the fairing, which was clearly seen on the big screen.

Seeing this scene, the boys in the rocket modification team immediately raised their hearts. Qi Zhenghe said in a low voice, "Is there something wrong? I think something has fallen..."

"That's normal." Cao Yue next to him explained: "Some parts are on the outside of the rocket, and they are not particularly critical. Once they go up into the sky, they will have no effect."

"That's okay!" Knowing that he was unnecessary to worry, Qi Zhenghe blushed and continued to stare at the big screen.

This section of the rocket lift-off requires the least control and is also the most prone to problems.The speed of the rocket is getting faster and faster, and it is almost surrounded by a cloud of smoke and fire, rising into the sky, getting higher and smaller, only to see that the smoke trail formed at the tail is getting bigger and bigger, getting bigger and bigger. more blurred.

After rising to a certain stage, the rocket began to tilt its head, heading east.

The radar stations did not know that the control center was currently operated by only one person, and they reported the situation observed by the radar one after another.

"……normal!"

"……normal!"

"...The radar scan of the rocket body is slightly abnormal, but the trajectory is normal!"

……

A voice reporting anomalies caught the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

"Isn't there going to be a malfunction?"

"That's right, there's never been an anomaly reported before..."

……

However, when Lin Dong heard the voice, there was no change in his movements, and he was still adjusting the software on the center console.

For a while, he had to deal with the rocket recovery procedure and deliver the satellite according to the trajectory, and he didn't have the mind to take care of these minutiae.

Yes, it's the minutiae!

The so-called abnormality is just because the radar at a certain observation point is newly installed, and the scanning picture is too clear, and the first-level rocket body has been modified, so there is naturally an abnormality!
……

However, the people in the audience did not know.Some people whispered: "I heard that this rocket has been modified. Could it be that something went wrong during the modification?"

When Qi Zhenghe heard this voice, he was about to get angry when he was suppressed by Zhao Chengshun.

At this time, Lin Dong didn't move, so it should be fine.It's not a big deal to quarrel with these technicians, but it would be bad if it affects Lin Dong's operation!

The two technicians didn't know that their words almost caused a quarrel, and continued: "Two days ago, it was said that the rocket recovery experiment of the Falcon [-] failed again, and I don't know that it is the same as the current situation... ..."

"Blue Origin's rescue capsule and rocket recovery were both successful, but it is said to be experimental, which is different from this launch... If it fails this time, it's a pity for those six satellites..."

"Shut up, both of you!" Tang Linyu whispered displeasedly: "If you talk too much, go outside!"

Lin Dong must have heard what was reported just now. He didn't show anything, indicating that there was no problem, but these two technicians were still talking here. Tang Linyu felt ashamed.

"First-stage rocket breaks away from..."

A melodious electronic voice sounded, which was unfamiliar to most of the people present, but Qin Xiangjie, Tang Linyu and Jiang Hongwei who had entered the virtual launch site knew very well that the critical moment had arrived!

Lin Dong's actions suddenly accelerated. On the big screen, the flame at the end of the first-stage rocket disappeared, and the smoke became much smaller. It began to separate from the second-stage rocket. The second-stage rocket continued to fly east, while the first-stage rocket It began to fly forward and downward in a parabolic manner!
"falling down……"

Someone subconsciously said.

However, he immediately discovered that the way the rocket "falls" is wrong!

As if controlled by an invisible hand, the speed of the rocket's fall suddenly slowed down.

Recycling program, start!
