Chapter 299 Rocket Launch! The Alien Races Were Completely Stunned!
It's another morning.
The sky was cloudless.
A major event is taking place in the Great Xia fiefdom today.
Launch the rocket!
Launch center.
Lin Mo and Zhao Gang stood side by side in front of the command platform.
Two launch towers stand tall in the distance.
The silver-white rocket stood silently, with the fueling pipe still connected to the rocket body.
"Commander Lin, refueling complete, all systems self-checks normal."
The technician's report came through the headset.
Lin Mo nodded, about to reply.
I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
"Old Qian! Slow down!"
"My legs aren't as nimble as yours!"
Liu Chengen chased after Qian Zhenhua, panting heavily.
Both of them had dark circles under their eyes.
They look just like two national treasures.
Lin Mo frowned.
"Academician Qian, Academician Liu, did you stay up all night last night?"
Qian Zhenhua waved his hand and smiled sheepishly:
"I got completely absorbed in studying rune technology."
"I forgot about time."
"Once the rocket launch is confirmed to be successful, we'll go back to sleep."
Liu Chengen yawned beside him.
"It's all Old Qian's fault."
"They insisted that the application of weight-reduction runes on rockets could be optimized, and ended up working on it all night."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhenhua glared and said:
"Bullshit! You're just obsessed with researching dragon blood!"
"You're talking nonsense! It's like you weren't engrossed in it!"
Lin Mo looked at the two men, who were blowing their beards and glaring at each other, and hesitated to speak.
These two old men are so old, yet they're still working so hard.
Is your body able to handle it?
He sighed.
He raised his hand, aimed it at the two people, and silently recited a spell.
A pure white light shone forth.
Holy Light Purification!
The light enveloped the two academicians.
next second.
The dark circles under the eyes have visibly disappeared.
Liu Chengen's spirits lifted.
"Whoa!"
"This thing works really well!"
Qian Zhenhua stretched his shoulders, and his joints made a cracking sound.
"What an amazing skill! It's a pity that no one else can learn it except you."
"Otherwise, if I knew how to do this, I wouldn't be short of time."
Lin Mo withdrew his hand.
"Health is the foundation of everything."
"You two should take care to get some rest."
Qian Zhenhua nodded with a smile.
"I know, I know."
"Isn't today's launch important?"
He turned to look at the rocket in the distance, his eyes gleaming.
It's 8:30 now.
This is the designated launch window.
One minute countdown.
Qian Zhenhua began to introduce Lin Mo:
"Commander Lin, this launch is no ordinary one."
"Every individual part of the rocket is inlaid with weight-reduction runes."
"One hundred in total."
"One person lost 500 pounds."
"A total weight loss of 50,000 jin!"
"This greatly reduces the rocket's fuel requirements."
"With the same amount of fuel, rockets can fly higher and carry more satellites!"
"We can directly send satellites into medium Earth orbit and geostationary orbit!"
Lin Mo listened and nodded inwardly.
The dwarven runic technology was combined with the rocket technology of the Great Xia.
The tech trees are merging quite quickly.
This is also thanks to Academician Qian.
Qian Zhenhua continued:
"And the stability rune."
"Primarily deployed on reusable thrusters."
"It can significantly reduce the failure rate of equipment operation and increase the number of times it can be used repeatedly."
"Furthermore, stability runes and some weight reduction runes can also be recycled."
"In the past, the thrusters would need major repairs and be scrapped after only a few recovery cycles."
"I dare say it can be used more than ten times!"
Zhao Gang laughed from the side:
"The cost of rocket launches has been significantly reduced; you are all heroes!"
Qian Zhenhua, beaming, waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
Ten seconds left on the countdown.
Inside the command center.
Everyone held their breath.
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"..."
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"ignition!"
boom!!!
Intense flames erupted from the bottom of the rocket.
A tremendous roar shook the heavens and the earth.
The ground trembled slightly.
The silver-white arrow slowly rose.
Trailing a long tail of flame, it went faster and faster, rising straight up from the ground!
Lin Mo looked up, a smile playing on his lips.
This is a moment that every person of the Great Xia Dynasty will feel incredibly honored about.
Everyone around was also focused on this moment with hope.
Within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Dragon race, dwarf race, holy human race, elf race, orc race.
Everyone looked up at the scene.
I was so shocked I couldn't speak.
The dragon Adis's pupils contracted slightly.
His amber-colored vertical pupils were fixed on the sky.
"What...is this?"
Another young dragon beside him whispered:
"This speed..."
"Faster than I can fly at full speed!"
"No... much faster!"
The young dragon's voice trembled.
He used to pride himself on his speed.
But now, that pride has been crushed.
Thorin the dwarf shaded his eyes with his hand and opened his mouth wide.
"What a huge shell!"
"I wonder how Bahrain and the others are doing with their research and imitation."
"When will we be able to build shells this big?"
The dwarf warrior beside him swallowed hard.
"Elder, this...this is really something humans could create?"
Thorin said disdainfully:
"Isn't it obvious?"
The Elf Elder Wood Language's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He had witnessed it once before in Firefly Valley.
But seeing it again this time was still very impressive.
Warwick, the orc, stared up with his mouth agape.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
The orc warrior beside him swallowed hard and said:
"I've heard it from those Great Xia soldiers."
"This is called a rocket. It seems to be used to launch satellites, serving as the eyes of the Great Xia people."
"This way, we can see the situation on the ground from high above."
"They also said that it could be used as a missile if necessary."
"It's one of those weapons that creates a mushroom cloud."
"I wish we could buy a few."
Warwick glanced at it.
"They won't sell this technology!"
"We'd better just stick to carrying rocket launchers!"
Kael, a member of the Holy Human race, stood in the crowd.
He stared blankly at the sky.
But the shock that flashed in his eyes could not be hidden.
The young monk beside him asked in a low voice:
"Lord Kyle."
"This...this really isn't magic?"
Kyle shook his head.
"no."
"This is technology."
He paused.
"A force...that we cannot comprehend."
The rocket soared higher and higher.
It quickly disappeared into the clouds.
Inside the command center.
Technician's report:
"First-stage thruster separation successful!"
"Secondary ignition is normal!"
"Thruster recovery function activated!"
Qian Zhenhua stared intently at the screen, his hands clenched tightly.
"Stay calm..."
"Stay calm..."
after a while.
"Satellite successfully entered orbit!"
"Rocket recovery successful!"
"Mission successfully completed!"
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the command center.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Well done."
Qian Zhenhua turned around, his face full of smiles.
"This is just the beginning."
"The second one will be launched in half an hour."
"The next two weeks."
"Ten rockets launch every day, without stopping."
"Two weeks later..."
His eyes were shining.
"The skies above Terra will be filled with Great Xia's satellites!"
"A surveillance system covering the entire planet!"
"We'll know everything the demons do, including the actions of all the races of Terra!"
Lin Mo nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Just then.
Liu Chengen leaned closer.
She mysteriously tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve.
"Commander Lin, there's nothing else here."
"Come with me."
Lin Mo was taken aback.
"Academician Liu, what's wrong?"
Excitement gleamed in Liu Chengen's eyes.
"I have something good for you."
"An absolute surprise!"
Lin Mo looked at his expression.
My heart skipped a beat.
The old academician's expression...
What kind of trouble have they gotten themselves into this time?
He instinctively took a half step back.
Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?
Liu Chengen didn't say much.
He pulled Lin Mo and walked outside.
"Let's go, let's go!"
You'll understand after you read it!
