Spaceship Ground Command Center

The lobby, which is enough to accommodate 500 people, looks particularly crowded, and people's eyes are staring at the large screen hanging on the walls.

On the huge screen, the data of the spacecraft is displayed in real time. The countdown in the upper left corner shows that the spacecraft is about to be launched in 10 minutes.

"The battery system is normal..."

"The engine internal voltage is normal..."

"Life maintenance system is normal..."

.....

The staff of the spacecraft project team are checking the various indicators of the Navigator number item by item.

The spacecraft is a super complex mechanical body. Even if strict standards are used during the assembly process, defects caused by defects in the parts are difficult to avoid, so routine inspections before launch are particularly important.

"Commander-in-chief, everything is normal!"

"The spacecraft can be launched at a predetermined time!"

The staff reported the final inspection results to a woman in red dress and stood aside and waited for her orders.

This scene shocked the "People's Observation Group" in the back row of the command center. They were people from all walks of life who were specially invited by the Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory to watch the launch ceremony of the spacecraft.

"Why is the commander-in-chief of the spacecraft launch a woman?"

"Where is the boss of Mozi Technology?"

"What's going on?"

...

"What do you know? This woman is not simple. She is Professor Li Mo's assistant."

"Her name is Xia Qing, and she is the second-ranked figure of Mozi Technology."

"Don't look down on women?"

"Since Professor Li Mo did not show up, it is natural for Xia Qing to be the commander-in-chief!"

....

A noise of noisy talk came from the back row.

Xia Qing, the commander-in-chief of the spaceship, showed a complicated expression on her face, feeling a little relieved, and a little reluctant, with surprises and melancholy.

"Bad boss!"

"The Pilot just let professional astronauts fly, why do you have to complete your maiden voyage in person?"

The story starts two days ago. When Xia Qing learned that the spacecraft had been transported to the Gobi Desert launch center and was expected to be launched in three days, she was filled with joy.

This is the first real spaceship of mankind.

And it is the boss's efforts.

The boss suspended all scientific research projects in the laboratory for the sake of the Navigator, and invested all the profits earned by Moxing batteries and quantum chips into the research and development and manufacturing of the spacecraft.

Xia Qing, who is in charge of laboratory finance, knew clearly that with the frequent increase in the budget of spacecraft projects, Mozi Technology's financial situation in recent months can be said to be very bad. The spacecraft project is like a bottomless pit. If this continues, it will soon affect the normal operation of Mozi Technology.

Fortunately, the Pilot was finally created.

She was secretly happy and received a call from her boss.

Li Mo's gentle voice on the phone made her think: "Is this going to celebrate?"

When she was wearing a noble black dress, she pushed open the office door and found that her boss Li Mo was standing in front of the star map in a daze.

There is no expected candlelight, red wine, and flowers.

Xia Qing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She asked softly: "Boss, are you asking me for trouble?"

Li Mo was still standing in front of the star map, staring at the red planet on the map.

for a long time

"you say..."

"How good would it be if I could step onto the Martian land myself and gently caress the dust on the surface of Mars with my hands?" Li Mo turned his head, with a raging fire burning in his eyes.

"You mean...?" Xia Qing was shocked.

Li Mo gently patted his desk, "I have decided that I will drive the Pilot to Mars in three days."

"Can't!"

"Absolutely not!" Xia Qing screamed in dismay, "The spaceship is too dangerous!"

An important reason why astronauts are highly respected by the general public is that this profession is too dangerous. According to the current space technology level of humans on Earth, once a spacecraft fails during launch or flight, it is difficult for the astronauts on it to have a chance to survive. Such space tragedies are common in the history of human aerospace.

More importantly, Pilot is a new concept spacecraft. All design work is completed in the laboratory and has not been verified by any practice, which undoubtedly greatly increases the probability of the spacecraft failure.

"Absolutely not possible!"

"If you really want to step on the Navigator number, I will call my aunt." Xia Qing knew the boss's stubborn personality, and it would be difficult to change what he decided.

Li Mo widened his eyes and sighed: "Oh, which astronaut knows this spaceship better than me?"

"Everything about Pilot is engraved here." He pointed his finger at his head.

"With me here, Pilot may be repaired in time even if it fails in space."

"So no one is more suitable to board a spaceship than me."

As he said that, he sat down and looked at Xia Qing with a sincere look: "And, you know, what this trip to Pilot's Mars means to Mozi Technology Laboratory and to the entire human race!"

"Maybe with it, we humans can break free from the constraints of the earth in one fell swoop."

"In the history of space, there are many rocket projects that were frozen due to an unexpected tragedy. Do you have the heart to waste our efforts?"

"But..." Xia Qing was speechless for a moment.

"No, but!" A confident smile appeared on Li Mo's face, "Remember, there has never been failure in my dictionary."

Seeing him with a confident look on his face, Xia Qing felt soft and she knew she had been persuaded by this man again.

Since it cannot be stopped, it is better to join it, which can increase the probability of success.

"What do you need me to do?" She knew that every seemingly ridiculous decision of Li Mo must have been carefully considered, and he must have taken all the accidents into consideration.

"I will appoint you as the ground commander-in-chief of the spacecraft launch, responsible for a series of missions such as spacecraft launch, flight monitoring, real-time communication, return guidance, etc.." A smile appeared on Li Mo's lips. He knew that at the critical moment, he still had people who could trust enough.

"I?"

"I don't know the entire launch process of the spacecraft. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility?" Xia Qing looked surprised. She knew that the commander-in-chief of the spacecraft was not just counting down like the TV staged. She must have excellent judgment and can accurately judge whether the launch can be carried out based on the real-time status of the spacecraft. It can also be said that this position largely determines the success or failure of the spacecraft launch.

"I know that in fact, the Navigator does not require dangerous fuel refueling like traditional spacecraft. Its launch is very simple. As long as the data meets the expected standards, it means that everything is normal in the spacecraft."

"This is the spacecraft manual I made for the Pilot. It lists various possible situations of the spacecraft, as well as the need to make judgments and support on the ground. You just need to memorize it and follow the manual, and you can do it." Li Mo said, taking off a thick stack of materials from the bookshelf.

"Commander-in-chief, can I launch now?" At this time, the signalman on the side brought Xia Qing back to reality from her memories.

The real-time data of various spacecraft on the large screen fully complies with the launch standards in the spacecraft manual.

She took a deep breath: "The launch countdown will be turned on and it will be officially launched in 3 minutes!"
