Chapter 763: All Eyes Are On!

The launch plan remains unchanged!

Luna Palace will enter lunar orbit at the end of the month!

After the clarification news of the Air Science Group was released, the voices of hot discussion instantly swept through the internal and external networks like waves.

There is no malfunction on the Luna Palace!

Unresolvable design flaws are rumors!

The people who had crazily ridiculed Hua Guo on Twitter for being overconfident and actually put their ideas on the lunar orbit, all of them felt as if they had been slapped in the face, and their faces were red and purple with pain.

After mocking them for a long time, it turned out that the whole thing was an oolong.

There is no problem with their core module at all, and there is no change in the launch plan at the end of the month.

And those show hosts who ridiculed the cooling system of the Moon Palace on the talk show and compared it to an oven were also embarrassed for a while.

Originally, they had already planned to play this meme until next month, but now it seems that the script of the program lines has to be revised again.

Apart from these people, the one who can't step down is probably the "New York Times".

Although the media in the free world do not need to talk about integrity, this suspected "Oolong" incident still caused considerable damage to the credibility of the "New York Times".

After all, it was they who sent the news in the first place.

And put this fake news on the headlines...

The New York Times building.

Duke, who was reprimanded by his boss, left the general manager's office with an embarrassed face and returned to his own office.

In his office, Camille was sitting anxiously on the sofa, fidgeting around and looking around.

The silence lasted for a long time. Seeing the silent editor-in-chief of Duke, Camille hesitated for a while, and finally spoke cautiously.

"We don't need to be so pessimistic... This time things are a bit strange, maybe they are just bluffing."

The report of the Air Science Group is not necessarily true. It is also possible that in order to stabilize the mood of the public, the Huaguo authorities instructed the Air Science Group and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other research institutions to jointly issue a statement to "refute the rumors" and intend to wait until the public opinion cools down before proceeding. Cold treatment.

After all, this kind of thing is not without precedent.

Having worked as a foreign correspondent in Shanghai for more than a year, Camille knows Hua Guo quite well...

Squeezing the sour brows, Duke gave Camille a tired look, and said impatiently.

"It's the end of the month soon, what good will bluffing do them?"

Hearing this sentence, Camille was at a loss for words.

Yes, it's almost the end of the month.

No matter how brave they are, there is not enough time left for them to solve the problem.

Instead of looking at the speechless Camille, Duke turned his gaze out of the window, squinting at the dark clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"...We can only hope now that the BFR rocket is tens of millions of kilometers away, and hope that the successful landing of the life support unit can divert people's attention and make them forget about it as soon as possible."

A trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and Camille tentatively said in a soliciting tone.

"I think the news about the Moon Palace can still be followed up, if—"

Before Camille could finish speaking, Duke waved his hand and interrupted her.

"If there's good news ... I mean good news for us."

Camille swallowed, nodded nervously.

"OK."

She didn't dare to mention the office affairs anymore, let alone the assistant's affairs...

Looking at the anxious editor-in-chief of Duke, she knew that she was in an embarrassing situation at the moment, so she wisely chose to remain silent.

At the same time, she was silently praying in her heart.

I hope the Chinese people are bluffing...

If the Luna Palace is indeed successfully launched, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the "New York Times".

Not only will consumers be dissatisfied, but colleagues will regard it as a laughing stock in the press.

After all, they put the "rumor" that the "Moon Palace" was malfunctioning on the top of the headlines...

Thinking of this, she subconsciously took out her phone, opened the mailbox and took a look.

From yesterday morning until now, she has been waiting for her informant in Huaguo to reply, but no matter how much she waits, she can't wait for that email.

It seems that there seems to be a small situation with her informant.

I don't know why, but the ominous forecast in her heart is getting stronger and stronger...

...

The turmoil of public opinion did not stop immediately, but as the source of the instigation was suppressed by the relevant departments with strong means, the heat of the topic gradually dropped.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon the end of the month was approaching.

Neither the Aviation Science Group, which was responsible for the construction of the Moon Palace, nor the Xingkong Technology, which was responsible for the launch mission, did not break their promises.

Amidst the voices of surprise and disbelief, Renren Daily and other official media published photos of the Moon Palace being loaded into the belly cargo hold of the aircraft almost at the same time on multimedia platforms such as newspapers and official microblogs.

After the photos were released, the comment area of ​​related news was immediately swiped by excited netizens.

[Fuck, who said that the Moon Palace could not go up last time, it came out and was beaten. 】

[The cost of spreading rumors is so low that I almost thought our space station was photographed by trolls' keyboards. 】

[Follow Professor Lu's awesomeness and it's over! (Show teeth) (Show teeth)]

[I guess in a few days, some people will say that although the Moon Palace has gone up, it is still weak compared to the Suguang, or it is actually a large satellite or something. (funny) (funny)]

[Our journey is the sea of ​​stars! (fist) (fist) (fist)]

【…】

Under the expectation of the people of the whole country, the time finally came to the launch day.

The OB vans of almost all the media in the country drove to the launch site.

Even the media that didn't get the authorization to interview drove the OB van to the outskirts of Jinling City, outside the checkpoint on the blocked road section, and watched from a distance through special camera equipment.

In this way, under the expectation of all eyes, bearing the ambition of Huaguo's lunar orbit construction, the launched Xiangrui dragged a brilliant arc, slowly rose from the runway, flew into the blue sky, and finally disappeared At the end of the sky.

Standing in the command tower, looking at the Xiangrui that had disappeared into the sky, Lu Zhou squinted his eyes, turned his head and asked Hou Guang who was standing beside him.

"How long will it take for the Earth-Moon transfer orbital transportation system to go online?"

Hou Guang hesitated a little, and spoke seriously.

"The demonstration of the technology has just been completed... Even if we continue to use the propulsion system on the Xiangrui, we will have to wait until next year at the earliest."

"Next year..." Looking at the busy ground crew on the runway outside the command tower, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and continued to ask, "Where is the Xiaguang?"

Hou Guang: "Originally, the experiment was planned at the end of the month, but it was delayed by a week to catch up with the launch plan of the Moon Palace."

Lu Zhou: "So, the next test flight is a week away?"

Hou Guang nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Zhou nodded, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If the Xiaguang can successfully test the flight, the electric propulsion system will rise to a new height in terms of handling performance.

Seeing the seedlings cultivated by himself are growing from germination to maturity, Lu Zhou felt deeply relieved.

His hard work always paid off.

All these sacrifices were finally not in vain...
