"Boom, boom, boom..." Amidst the huge roar, a rocket shot straight into the sky.
This is a small launch vehicle called Taurus developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation. This rocket has low launch cost, fast response speed and strong adaptability.
Ordinary launch vehicles can only be launched from specialized launch bases.
The Taurus small launch vehicle developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation has no such restriction.
As long as the terrain is relatively flat, it will take a while to get the launcher ready, and then you can launch the rocket and send it into space.
This time, it was the first test launch of the Taurus launch vehicle after it was successfully developed.
Inside the rocket are two dual-use satellites of the Ministry of National Defense.
At the headquarters of Orbital Science Company, there is a hall with several large screens hanging in the front.
A group of company executives, headed by company president Van Der Beek, were staring at the scene on the big screen without blinking.
"The booster fell off successfully!"
"The solid fuel tank fell off successfully!"
"The fairing separated and the rocket successfully entered low-Earth orbit!"
…
Within the broadcast, every time there is news, everyone in the hall will cheer.
After the Taurus launch vehicle successfully entered low-Earth orbit, it only had to wait for the two satellites loaded inside to successfully separate from the rocket. Orbital Science Company's rocket launch was already completed perfectly.
This type of rocket is originally a disposable product.
According to their calculations, the final rocket debris should fall into the ocean.
Even if there are some errors in the location of the drop, it doesn't matter much, as long as it falls into the sea, anyway, they didn't think about recycling it and using it for a second time.
"Guys and gentlemen, I think we can open the champagne and celebrate now!"
"Our Taurus launch vehicle successfully launched for the first time. This is something that should be recorded in history."
"In order to maintain our space supremacy, orders from the Department of Defense will continue."
"In the future, all orbits in Blue Star space will be occupied by satellites sent up by our Taurus..."
Looking away from the large screen hanging at the front of the hall, Orbital Science Company President Van Der Beek looked at everyone in the hall with a smile. He raised the red wine glass in his hand and suggested to everyone with a smile.
If there is an accident when a launch vehicle is launched, it usually happens due to the previous procedures.
Their Taurus rocket has reached the final stage of separation from the rocket and the satellite. The chance of an accident is almost impossible.
Van Der Beek is full of confidence in the rocket built by his company. At this moment, he looks like he has a winning chance.
As soon as he made this suggestion, everyone in the hall immediately agreed.
A few of them actually took out champagne and were ready to open it.
"Look, what is that?" At this moment, among the people in the audience, someone suddenly looked horrified, pointed at a large screen in the hall, and exclaimed.
Everyone who was about to open champagne to celebrate, including Van Der Beek, all turned their heads and glanced at the big screen pointed by the man.
In their sight, they could only see a flash of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the bloody light turned into an extremely huge bloody strange bird, and then slammed into their company's Taurus launch vehicle!
The entire rocket exploded and turned into a huge fireball. Then, the big screen in the hall went black and nothing could be seen!
"Oh my God, that's in low-Earth orbit. How could a bloody strange bird suddenly appear in a place like that!"
"Atmospheric organisms are definitely atmospheric organisms. A good friend of mine has done special research on this..."
"What kind of atmospheric creature? That bloody strange bird obviously comes from hell and was sent by Satan..."
Everyone in the hall looked ashen.
Faced with something they couldn't understand at all, their various speculations were all messy.
Several of them, for the first time, had pious expressions on their faces, kneeling on the ground, shouting Amen, and making the sign of the cross on their chests.
As for Orbital Science Company President Van Der Beek, after seeing his Taurus launch vehicle being hit into a fireball by the bloody strange bird, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
…
In the Yanhuang Kingdom, in the western suburbs of Kyoto, in the underground tombs near the Black Stone Reservoir.
Holding the Hong Ming Dao in his hand, Chen Hai's face turned a little pale. He took several deep breaths before he regained his composure.
"Hong Ming, are you kidding me?"
"When I swung the knife, I saw a flash of blood!"
"Then, there was no more. What you said about cutting through the sky, you didn't even see the shadow of it!"
With a confused look on his face, Chen Hai looked above his head.
Above his head was the dome of the tomb. Without his firelight, it would have been pitch black and nothing could be seen.
"What I said before is that if I have enough mana to squander, I can cut through the sky!"
"You are pitifully weak. You only have so little magic power and you are only willing to let me use half of it."
"With that knife, you cut it into the sky, but you didn't let me destroy the dome above, for fear that the tomb would collapse."
"This won't work, that won't work. It limits my strength too much. If I can cut through the sky, that would be really weird!"
"You can feel that all the evil spirits in the tomb have been drained by me!"
"I also slashed out with that knife. As for what I hit, it's none of my business..."
Hong Ming also seemed a little depressed, and he responded to Chen Hai angrily.
"I suspect you are lying to me, but I have no proof!"
"I have used up most of my mana, and it will take a year and a half to recover."
"When the time comes, I'll pour some more mana into you and give you another try, then I'll know naturally whether you are really capable or just pretend to be capable?"
With his eyes rolling, Chen Hai tentatively sent a message to Hongming.
"Boy, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You just want me to follow you out!"
"I'm tired of staying in this big tomb. If you want me to follow you out, okay!"
"You have to treat me as your ancestor. I want to drink blood and eat meat."
"If you want me to help you, then you have to serve me well!"
…
The words coming from Hong Ming were very arrogant.
With half of his mana left, Chen Hai had the intention of guarding against it.
If the power of the Hong Ming Sword is severely consumed by that sword, it is impossible to say that with this half of the mana, he can add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation to see if he can be forcibly subdued!
But now, after hearing Hong Ming's words, he hesitated!
When this guy made that slash, he estimated that he was doing it half-heartedly and still had a lot of strength left in him.
"What blood should we drink? What meat should we eat? The world outside has changed, and the world has changed!"
"You want me to use human sacrifices? Don't even think about it. The most I can do is feed you a pig a day!"
"If you don't want to agree, just continue to stay in this dark underground tomb. At most, it will just be a fight with you again!"
Chen Hai frowned, thought for a moment, and said.
"A pig, you just want to get rid of me? Boy, are you insulting me?"
"What kind of world is there outside? Do you really think I don't know that I have acquired some incomplete memories from those sword slaves who were corroded by evil spirits."
"Ordinary people can have meat to eat from time to time. If I want to eat and drink well, I need at least two pigs a day!"
"I'm telling you, if you don't meet my request for flesh and blood, don't even think about me going out with you..."
Chen Hai had just finished speaking, and Hong Ming had already picked up the topic immediately.
I'm a young man who lives in poverty. If I don't have any possessions, I can make Chen Hai poor with just this knife.
Of course, he had no reason not to agree to Hong Ming's request.
From those tomb robbers, Hong Ming may have indeed obtained some incomplete memories, but the pattern does not seem to be big.
If you really want to talk about it, as long as it is not a human sacrifice, even if Chen Hai is asked to feed Hongming ten pigs a day, I believe he can barely accept it.
"Okay, I agree to your request!"
Chen Hai just nodded, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake a few times.
On the wooden pillars supporting the main tomb, there are soil, sand and stones, flying and falling continuously.
I don't know if it's because the evil spirit in the tomb has been drained out, or if the stabbing just now left some sequelae.
Looking at the situation in front of me, the entire tomb seems to have some signs of collapse.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hai didn't say anything, and hurriedly ran towards the robbery hole that he had seen before, which seemed to lead to the reservoir.
As for the Hong Ming Dao, it was held in his hand.
It seemed that after getting Chen Hai's promise to feed it two pigs a day and let them devour their flesh and blood, it seemed to be really satisfied and not ready to continue bargaining with Chen Hai.
After getting into the thief's cave, Chen Hai turned a few corners.
He just saw water pouring into the cave, and there was a loud bang behind it.
It seems that there is something really wrong with the big tomb in Mantou Mountain and it is rapidly collapsing.
His body is still a mortal body.
If he were not careful and the tomb collapsed and he was crushed by the earth and sand, his spirit would not survive, but his physical body would be completely destroyed!
Seeing this scene, Chen Hai did not dare to delay. He held a knife in one hand and ran quickly thinking about the front.
The entire cave seems to be on a downward slope.
When I first saw the water, the surface of the water was only level with Chen Hai's bare feet.
As he moved forward, the water surface became higher and higher, and soon, the entire Thief Cave was completely submerged in water.
Fortunately, Chen Haihai has good sex.
Holding his breath, he only moved forward six or seven meters, and the front suddenly opened up. Finally, he came out of the robbery cave and appeared in the Black Rock Reservoir.
