Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The night gradually descended.

The Space Launch Center, right now, is lit up.

In this day when the vast majority of people are already planning their holidays and are looking forward to the New Year's, there is no half a dot of New Year's flavor.

Ground crews were travelling busily on the take-off track and, under the command of the engineer, were conducting a final inspection of the launch site and the hardware facilities on the Xiangrui.

The launch plan has been finalized and the ignition is scheduled to begin at 12: 00 p.m.

According to the observation data provided by the meteorological services, this is the most suitable time to carry out the launch task.

Not just astronauts, but all launch centre staff, have “jet lag" for the moment, ensuring that they work in the best possible condition in their respective positions.

Astronauts prepare indoors.

The air is quiet.

There are only three hours left to launch, and in an hour, they will begin boarding.

A long breath broke the silent air, Nie Yun said.

“Are you ready? ”

The corner of Nieh's mouth opened with a smile, his fist stretched out and knocked down on his chest.

“It's already ready. ”

Perhaps because she was infected by her optimism, Niehun couldn't help but smile on her tight face.

But that smile only lasted a few seconds.

He was silent for a while and said.

“… I would also suggest that you reconsider the fact that this launch was not the same as the previous one and that the hazard factor was very high. When we get to the moon, only we know what's waiting for us there. ”

Nieh chuckled and said, “What's the point of saying this now? You can't change people. ”

"" There's a replacement, "warned Nie Yun. ”

Nieh did not hesitate: “Don't even think about it. ”

Growing up together, Nieh Yun really understood her too well. She had no intention of shaking, so she stopped persuading her.

In fact, it was impossible for the two men to go to heaven together because of blood ties, and indeed, only Nie Yun was originally chosen as the driver of the Cheung Rui.

However, in choosing a second astronaut, Nieh asked his superiors to participate in the mission. Her application was eventually approved by her superiors, taking into account her excellent performance in the Pilot's Brigade and the views of her immediate family.

Nie Yun didn't think it was a good thing.

Because if an accident did happen, it would be too cruel for the parents who stayed on the ground...

In addition to the two brothers and sisters, there is a man sitting here.

His status is somewhat different from that of the two, not as an official astronaut who was transferred from the Air Force to the Astronaut Battalion, but as a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a cooperative unit of the Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies, following research on planetary geology at the Moon and Planetary Science Research Center under the Geochemical Institute. It was not until after the start of the moon climbing project that he voluntarily signed up and passed several rounds of selection that he eventually joined the project.

Prior to that, he received only two months of professional training, and only when the commanding officer told him he had left a suicide note did he realize the seriousness of the problem...

Noting his repeated moves to tighten and loosen his fist, Nieh spoke to him.

“Hey, what's your name. ”

The voice of a sudden conversation frightened me, and the man who came back to God said with some stubbornness.

“Liu... Liu Zhengwen. ”

“Nervous? ”

“Well... sort of. ”

A reluctant smile was squeezed out of his face. Liu Zhengwen took a deep breath and stared at his fist resting on his knee for a while before he said, "I thought I was ready before, but I was still afraid to die. ”

Nie Yun was silent for a while and said, “People are afraid to die, there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

“Are you scared too? ”

Nie Yun nodded and shook his head again, leaving behind a difficult phrase.

“Fear and fear are two things. ”

At this point, a bell rang outside the lounge.

Following the pre-boarding process, it was time for them to go to the dressing room and, with the help of the staff, to change their in-cabin space suits.

Standing up from the chair, Nie Yun walked to the silent Liu Zhengwen, reaching out and patting his arm.

“Relax, there are so many people praying for us. ”

“We can do it. ”

……

Around the launch centre, martial law has been imposed by troops stationed in the area, roadblocks have been set up in the vicinity and all vehicles and personnel are prohibited from entering the area. Military and police personnel patrolling the vicinity have also responded to evictions, warnings and police detentions, among other measures, by sneaking in with video equipment to the nearby private shooting site.

The entire launch centre, like a fortress, can't even fly in.

And at the same time, inside the launch center.

The Central Television Broadcasting Vehicle, which received a clearance, has been parked next to the launch site.

The shot aimed at three pilots walking from the side of the runway to the gangway, the excited reddish journalist lady, speaking out loud to the interview microphone in hand.

“… now walking next to the runway are the three astronauts about to board the Xiangrui. In less than an hour, the second launch of the Xiangrui will begin. According to the instructions of the staff of the Jinling Space Launch Center, the end point of this launch mission will be the orbit around the Moon, and our astronauts will print the footprints of the Moon that belong to our Huaxia nation! And our astronauts will be on the moon, bringing us New Year's blessings! ”

After a lot of sighing, the reporter lady took a few breaths to relax.

If all goes well, the footage recorded in the lens will be shown in a news league tomorrow at noon after being edited.

If everything doesn't go well...

Being a little person, she couldn't imagine how sad it would be.

At this moment, she can only pray in her heart, hoping that everything will be fine.

Next to the flat runway, the tall gangway moves slowly and connects to the gate of the sky shuttle.

Watching the three astronauts board the plane, the ship standing next to the command tower laughed and waved at them.

Standing behind the canoe, Director Li still bandaged a face and stared behind the canoe without moving. Even the gangway not far away had begun to separate from the hatch door, and he did not plan to relax and be vigilant.

This guy really did it. He's been following his ass for an hour. Behind the crotch, you can't even leave the toilet open.

A little further away at most...

When he looked nervous, the ark sighed.

“… Later, I thought about it. ”

Didn't understand what the Ark was saying, Director Li stunned and asked subconsciously: “What did you think? ”

The ark laughed unwillingly and said, "You said there were only two people in the lunar compartment. When the lunar compartment dropped, you had to leave a pilot on the ship. ”

“… so? ”

“It's boring to be alone on top, or we can go up together and build a table for landlords. ”

Looking at Director Li's eyes drummed up, worried that he would come to the ark with high blood pressure, he hastily added.

“I'm just kidding... Walk around, let's go to ground command, it's about to start. ”

Just say it. Without waiting for Director Li to answer, the ark dragged him in the direction of the command tower.
