Two months later, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near Kinshasa, the No.3 Nuclear Heavy Industry rocket launch base.
"Report on the current situation." Harry Crowder looked at the big screen in front of him. He was in the command and control hall 150 meters away from the rocket launch base. More than 200 people in the hall were busy doing their own things, but
The sounds they made were very low, and most of them were staring at the instruments and screens in front of them, fearing that there would be only the slightest mistake. Everyone wore a headset on their head and spoke quietly into the microphone from time to time.
After Harry's order was issued, reports sounded from the hall's broadcast, and the echoes lingered in the empty hall for a long time.
"The values of various instruments are normal, and the final inspection of the rocket and satellite conditions is being carried out."
"The rocket shell is not damaged, its health is 100%, and there are no problems with launch."
"The fuel injection is complete, there are no leaks, everything is normal."
"All programs in the general control center have been checked. The main computer is running well, the signal tracking test is normal, and there is no problem with the rocket aerial photography system."
"All staff are evacuating the tower and the evacuation is expected to be completed in three minutes."
"The meteorological conditions are good, it is good weather for launching satellites, and take-off is allowed."
A kind of impatient excitement and joy appeared on Harry's face, and he turned his head to look at Soho Ibn James Din next to him.
Soho nodded at Harry and then looked at the rocket on the screen. The all-white rocket was printed with red English letters, untr. Other than that, there was no national flag or any other logo.
This satellite was able to be launched thanks to Soho's massive financial and manpower support. It can be said that this satellite has half of his contribution. It is normal for him to appear here. Soho is also filled with emotions. The current UAE
The communication system is still leased from the EU's Galileo system. In time, the UAE can also use UNTR's technology to launch its own satellite. As long as the rocket can be successfully launched and the satellite can operate successfully, it proves that UNTR has the capabilities to explore space.
The most basic technology.
The communication satellite carried on the rocket is the first satellite launched by UNTR. Fu Ming believes that after the first one, there will be a second and third one. UNTR relies too much on satellite communications.
The U.S. satellite system is obviously no longer reliable.
A few days ago, Fu Ming decisively fired his previous communication partners and began leasing China's Beidou system. The Beidou system is rented to surrounding countries in the Asia-Pacific region, but the scope of its communication functions is the whole world. Of course, this is only untr
In a transitional period, any satellite communication facilities in any country are not reliable for UNTR. Since the United States can obtain UNTR’s intelligence through satellite signals, China can naturally do the same.
Although Fu Ming will not deliberately do anything to affect China's security and interests, there is always some insider trading, and Fu Ming does not want anyone to know.
Harry looked at Suo Ho, nodded towards him, and said into the microphone. "Countdown to launch, one hundred and twenty seconds, the countdown begins." He took out his mobile phone and dialed the extremely familiar number.
.
At the same time, China, Shanghai.
It is already evening in Shanghai. Fu Ming is sitting in front of the piano, quietly waiting for the arrival of the newlyweds. Yes, today is the wedding day of Li Jingxue and Song Jiahao. The lights in the auditorium are very dim now, and everyone
Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the newlyweds. Fu Ming promised Song Jiahao that he would play the wedding march on the piano himself.
Li Jingxue's parents also came to the wedding. As for Song Jiahao's close friends in the security force, they were busy preparing for Song Jiahao's wedding early in the morning. Xu Cheng was the best man, and Cat became the bridesmaid.
, became the host of the wedding.
"Now, we welcome the bride and groom to the entrance. Please give us the warmest applause!"
After Huan Huan finished speaking, the spotlight in the hall was instantly turned on, shining on the door of the hall. The red carpet at the door extended to the front of the auditorium, with flower petals scattered on the stalls, and the guests sat on both sides of the red carpet. The entire hall
Among them, there were more than 200 people, both familiar and unknown, sitting there, which seemed a bit crowded.
The moment the spotlight shone on Li Jingxue and Song Jiahao, Fu Ming's fingers began to beat on the keyboard of the piano, and the sweet wedding march suddenly sounded. Li Jingxue was wearing a wedding dress, her face was flushed and filled with happiness, and Song Jiahao was wearing a suit.
But she looked very naive. Cat was wearing a pink dress, and Xu Cheng was also wearing a suit and tie. The two of them walked behind the newlyweds with flowers from the bridesmaid and best man.
Fu Ming looked at Song Jiahao and Li Jiahao, the smile on his face was no longer ceremonial. Until Li Jingxue and Song Jiahao reached the end of the red carpet, the wedding march still did not stop.
In order to attend this wedding, Coco Heike Indias suddenly turned down a cooperation meeting with a large company. Zeng Xiaoting also skipped school and ran to Shanghai. She did not expect that Fu Ming would be so soon after leaving country C.
Back. The two girls stood next to Fu Ming, looking at Song Jiahao and Li Jingxue with happy faces, imagining that they and Fu Ming would have such a day. Cariana Sois also stood beside Fu Ming
Next to them, she looked at Li Jingxue and Song Jiahao with envy. This was her first time attending such a large-scale wedding.
People from the General Staff also arrived at the wedding. Although Leng Jianbin and Gao Shaolong had smiles on their faces, no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts. Zeng Ziguang also forgot about the National Security Agency and explained to Geng Huichang
After a few calls, he ran to Shanghai.
Huan Huan was presiding over the wedding, and his humorous tone made everyone laugh, while also blessing the newlyweds. Seeing that the wedding had begun and he had completed his task, Fu Ming walked aside and stared blankly.
Looking at a table.
If people who come to the wedding look carefully enough, they will find that on their tables, the guest lists are all pink paper with dark red fonts.
The list on this table is on white paper with black fonts.
There are many names on the list. Fu Zhongtian, Matt Adams, Alexander S. Wellington, Irina Rhodes, and even Marie Antoinette, Hussein Heike Indias, Vasily
Ivanovich, Han Yu, and Yuan Ji. Song Jiahao specially set up this table, a table that no one would come to.
Fu Ming sighed and felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He walked to a corner of the hall and answered the phone. Leng Jianbin tilted his head and looked at Fu Ming, frowning slightly. Fu Ming left.
China was really beyond his expectation. He originally thought that Fu Ming would have to rely on China's power to develop UNTR, and that China would also have the opportunity to control UNTR. Now it seems that he has thought too much about UNTR and is not willing to be controlled by any regime.
controlled.
"Are you ready?" Fu Ming knew what was happening at the Trinuclear Heavy Industry rocket launch base in Congo.
"The countdown is more than one minute, boss, please request the launch command." Harry shouted and laughed as he spoke, and the voice broadcast in the command and control hall continued to come. "It looks like it will go smoothly."
"Hand the phone to Mr. James Ding." Fu Ming opened the curtains of the wedding hall and looked at the moonlight outside.
"Mr. K, it's such a pity that you didn't get to see this spectacular scene!" Zhan Siding was also very excited at this time. This was his first time watching a satellite launch on site.
"Mr. Justin, I leave this matter to you. After all, the launch of the Zentraedi-1 satellite and the rocket were financially supported by the United Arab Emirates. Thank you for your generosity. It is your right to press the launch button."
Fu Ming smiled and said, "If your country wants to launch its own satellite, UNTR can provide technical support, of course, after the launch is successful." Helping the UAE launch its own satellite is the best that UNTR can do.
In return, Fu Ming is not stingy with friends and partners, and takes care of everything.
"That's my honor." Suohao walked to the main console and looked at the bright red launch button. "Then, leave this matter to me." Suohao hung up the phone.
"Countdown and prepare, there are still thirty seconds left."
"There are no obstacles in the sky, no aircraft has been found, and personnel around the launch base have checked, and there are no suspicious persons."
"Countdown, ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven..."
Soho put his trembling right hand next to the launch button. When he heard the countdown to one, he pressed the launch button hard with his right thumb, as if the rocket could not ignite if he used less force.
"Ignition, booster operation is normal, and the fuel burn percentage is within the allowable range."
"Acceleration is normal and taking off!"
The scene on the big screen suddenly changed. The bottom of the rocket with the untr logo was spraying hot flames, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the rocket slowly lifted off under the thrust of the booster. Even at the command and control center a hundred meters away,
You can hear the huge sound of the rocket taking off, not to mention the vibrations on the ground.
"The orbit verification is completed, and there is no problem with the program settings!"
"The lift-off process is normal, we are entering the planned route, and there is no deflection!"
Fu Ming put down his mobile phone and still looked at the moonlight outside. He knew that at noon in the Communist Republic of Congo, Zenith Star 1 was rising into the sky. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile made Leng Jian
Bin felt very uncomfortable.
The current CIA headquarters is in a mess. The news about Congo's satellite launch has reached here. Although the intelligence personnel cannot get in, through satellite photos, it is indeed captured that there is indeed a rocket in a large industrial base on the outskirts of Kinshasa.
The existence of launchers and rockets. Mabuleisi Eastwood still doesn’t understand what kind of technology Congo has that can actually launch satellites. You must know that the new regime of the Communist Republic of Congo has just been established, so it is said that it should not have this technology.
That's right.
Mableich lit a cigarette, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. He picked up the phone at hand and called the White House directly.
The phone was quickly picked up, and the person who picked up the phone was not the White House operator and usher, but the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama.
"Eastwood, what's the matter? You're so anxious."
"Mr. President, I think it is necessary to intervene in the situation in Africa."
