Chapter 1353 Just Do What You Say! (33)

As the schedule of the fire boarding plan became more and more urgent, the atmosphere of the entire launch center also became tense and busy.

But the nervousness is the nervousness, but no one is worried about the prospects of the launch plan.

As early as two weeks ago, the Ministry of State F, the Huaguo Space Administration, the Bureau of Science and Technology and other national ministries and bureaus set up a command center in this space launch center, and Academician Lu himself served as the chief designer , to organize and direct the implementation of this launch plan!

Directed by Academician Lu himself!

When the news was first announced, the spirits of all participants in the fire plan were lifted, and morale reached its peak!

For the Chinese astronauts, that person's name is no longer just a name.

It's like a symbol.

From the moment it was written on the title page of the proposal, all difficulties seemed to be no longer difficult, and all difficulties became simpler.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the departure day.

A majestic aerospace plane slowly moved out of the hangar under the traction of the engineering vehicle, and stopped on the runway outside the command building of the launch center. Ground crews and forklifts were running back and forth around the aerospace plane, doing the final inspection for the Xiaguang that was about to take off.

In another half an hour, the first batch of components of the colonial ship Xu Fu will take off from here, sent by "Xiaguang" to the synchronous orbit, and then "Magpie Bridge" waiting there will take over and relay to the space port of the Moon Palace space station.

When all the components are launched, the colonists waiting on the ground will embark on the last flight to board the Moon Palace, and from there to Mars tens of millions of kilometers away!

Preparations are finally in place.

Under the instructions of the tower broadcast, the ground crew in front of the aerospace plane quickly dispersed to all directions.

The signal lights on the runway came on one after another, outlining a straight track.

"The hatch is closed!"

"Fusion engine running successfully!"

"The plasma heating chamber is preheated!"

"Launch ready!"

"ignition--!"

There is no countdown sound, only a clean "ignition".

When the launch work became the norm, people no longer regarded ignition as a rather ceremonial matter.

Just like the pilots of civil aviation airliners do not count down to their takeoffs, astronauts who have long been accustomed to going to and from the space have long stopped counting down to their own takeoffs.

With that order issued, the pilot sitting in the cockpit also pressed the switch to release the plasma in the engine heating chamber at the same time.

The plasma of tens of millions of degrees is released from the nozzle of the engine in an instant under the wrapping of the magnetic field. The scorching temperature seemed to ignite the air and distort the surrounding time and space.

Driven by this huge force, the silver-white giant bird began to slide forward, and finally broke away from the runway that restrained it, and rushed to the clear sky above.

Watching the intersecting arc of azure blue and orange pull out a long and narrow trajectory in the air, watching it disappear into the end of the clouds, Director Chang Hezhi standing in the control tower, the thoughts in his heart can't help but go along with it Far.

Ever since Academician Lu visited the colony module of the fire landing program at the aerospace assembly center that day, he has been unable to calm down.

Compared with Director Li and Academician Yuan Huanmin who have participated in the Huaguo space program since the beginning of the moon landing project, he is a newcomer who was only recently appointed by the space agency to join the fire landing program.

Before this, although he had always heard the name of Academician Lu, he had only seen it in the overwhelming news and heard it in the excited discussions of his colleagues.

What he saw and heard at the aerospace assembly center that day almost contracted his shock for the whole year. Whether it is the factory that assembles the colony capsule, or the colony capsule itself, everything about technology, spaceflight, and future imagination is perfectly displayed in the world that is only a few thousand square meters.

It is not the same as the reason why most astronauts are full of confidence.

If they are full of confidence because of Lu Zhou's name, then he is because of those amazing technologies themselves. With such sophisticated equipment, he really couldn't imagine a reason why it might fail.

Let alone Mars.

Even if it is a more distant world, I am afraid it is not a problem...

Just when his thoughts had been brought to the distant starry sky by the disappearing "sunlight", a staff member in uniform came to him from outside the door.

"Director Chang."

Looking away from the window of the command tower, Chang Hezhi looked at the staff member standing beside him, and said after gathering his composure.

"whats the matter?"

"Academician Lu has something to ask for you."

Academician Lu?

There was an expression of surprise on his face. Although he was curious about what Lu Zhou, who had just met him in the morning, wanted to find him, Chang Hezhi didn't think much about it.

The organization sent it here to cooperate with Academician Lu's work. If Academician Lu needs him for anything, it is naturally the first thing to be considered for him.

Therefore, he spoke immediately.

"Take me there quickly."

"yes."

The staff member nodded, then turned around and led the way.

Following in the footsteps of this staff member, Chang Hezhi quickly moved from the command tower to the conference room on the first floor of the main building of the launch center. In this slightly empty conference room, he saw Lu Zhou who was sitting at the conference table, thinking about a document.

Obviously, he didn't notice his arrival.

In order to show that he had come, Chang Hezhi cleared his throat and broke the silence.

"Academician Lu, I heard that you have something to ask me?"

Noticing the voice coming from the door, Lu Zhou looked away from the document in his hand, looked up at Director Chang and Zhizhu who walked into the conference room, stood up with a smile and made a gesture of please.

"Are you here? Please sit down."

Chang Hezhi was not polite either, he pulled out his chair and sat down.

Sitting back on the chair again, Lu Zhou temporarily put the documents in his hands aside, looked at Director Chang who was sitting opposite, and said in a serious tone.

"About the launch plan at the end of the month, I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing this sentence, the expression on Director Chang Hezhi's face suddenly became serious, and he sat upright and said.

"Please speak!"

Lu Zhou nodded, without going around in circles, and said straight to the point.

"I intend to change the number of people in the first batch of manned fire plans from three to five."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

"Five, five people?" Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou would bring up this question. Director Chang Hezhi was stunned for a while, but didn't realize it for a while, "Why five?"

why five...

How should this be explained?

For this question that cannot be explained at all, Lu Zhou simply did not explain, and said concisely.

"Because of practical needs."

"Three people are far from enough. I have made detailed arrangements for the work arrangements of these five people. No one is redundant!"

I didn't suspect anything, but I was a little worried. Director Chang Hezhi frowned, and said hesitantly, "But, is five too many?"

"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, "From the perspective of safety, the maximum load of our full circulation colony cabin is ten adult men, and five colonists are less than half of the maximum load. Carrying two more people Resupply is not a particularly difficult task for the colonial ship Xu Fu. As for the technical feasibility, I have discussed it with the experts from the Air Science Group at the meeting just now. The conditions are undoubtedly Allowed."

"But if it fails..."

"That's impossible." Interrupting Director Chang's concerns, Lu Zhou said without hesitation, "I won't allow that to happen."

Whether it's three people or five people.

As long as he is still sitting in the position of the chief designer, he will definitely not let that kind of tragedy happen!

I met that calm and tense gaze.

For a moment, Chang Hezhi suddenly understood why both the engineers and the commanders of this space launch center believed in his orders, and the admiration for him even almost became a kind of belief.

The doubts in his heart gradually dissipated, and Chang Hezhi, who was infected by this unwavering gaze, nodded solemnly and slowly.

"Since you think it is necessary, I trust your judgment."

"I'll sign the document."

"Just do what you say!"
