Chapter 6 – The rocket is lifted off!

Du Xingyu had already started the live broadcast at this time, and the audience who received the notification entered the live broadcast room.

“Hello everyone, you should be able to see that our rocket launch preparations have been completed, and in three minutes, we will fire and launch on time.”

“Here, we went to the farmer’s market and bought a live rooster weighing 2.1 kg. We also designed a small space capsule for it, and the rocket will send the chicken up to an estimated height of 20 kilometers! ”

“This rocket, I named it Xingkong-1, which means our first step towards the starry sky!”

In the live broadcast room, the audience laughed.

“Silence for three minutes for this chicken, and soon it will become a high-altitude roast chicken!”

“Hope the launch is successful!”

“What about Miss Sister, I came to see Miss Sister!”



“Hurry up, I can’t wait!”

“Wait for the sky monkey to go to the sky!”

At this time, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room showed a thousand people.

Du Xingyu explained a few words and then let Xu Lianqiu appear on the scene. The audience in the live broadcast room immediately rose by a thousand, and some people directly gave small gifts.

“There are only thirty seconds left, everyone!” Du Xingyu and others sat in the distance, and they connected the rocket’s control system through a laptop.

“Start the countdown!” Du Xingyu looked at the time and counted down: “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”

The students became nervous unconsciously. Although the rockets were not made by them, as classmates and on-site audiences, they had a strong sense of participation.

“Three, two, one! Ignite!” The ignition program starts automatically, and the igniter inside the rocket responds accordingly.

Hot flames ejected from the bottom of the rocket, creating a powerful air current, propelling the rocket to the sky.

During the period, accompanied by a loud roar, the rocket lifted off!

“Flying!” everyone exclaimed, looking towards the sky with surprise.

They could see that the “Starry Sky One” was steadily lifting off, flying towards the clouds. And the rooster in the space capsule was crowing in horror.

“Really lifted off!” In the live broadcast room, the audience was also stunned.

Many people watch the live broadcast, just with a fun mentality, and don’t think that the rocket made by Du Xingyu can take off.

But right now, the rocket has actually risen to the sky, and the shock in their hearts is no less than the audience at the scene.

Barrage: “66666666!”

“Bull beer! Bull beer! Bull beer!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Jiangnan Vocational College of Science and Technology sent a congratulatory message!”

“The anchor is too hanging! The rocket made has really taken off!”

“This is the hardest anchor I have ever seen! Follow decisively!”

“Fuck, it’s true!” Zong Ming, who was watching the live broadcast, was eating potato chips. This scene made him stop his mouth directly and stared at the computer screen blankly.

“It’s lifted off, it looks like it’s already several kilometers in height!” Lin Guangyan raised his head, but within ten seconds, there was only a small black spot left on Starry Sky One.

“Unbelievable! Unbelievable!” Zhou Bin said with a look of excitement, “Students who have achieved this level are definitely the first person in the history of Aviation University. It is estimated that we, teachers and professors, dare not say ourselves. can do it!”

“Go, hurry up and have a look, I want to know the specific process!” He took Lin Guangyan to Du Xingyu’s side to watch the computer monitoring screen.

“The lift-off altitude has reached 8.5 kilometers, and the rocket is in good condition. The driver may be a little frightened, but the state of life is intact.” Du Yuxing’s notebook shows the rocket’s internal monitoring system data and pictures.

“Our rocket really took off!” Until now, Wang Wei and others still couldn’t believe it.

To be honest, they only thought Du Xingyu was whimsical at first. The help is purely because of the relationship between classmates and roommates. They can do this step, they dare not even think about it!

“It’s great!” Xu Lianqiu’s pretty face was flushed, she was extremely charming, which was caused by excitement.

Du Xingyu himself was a little excited, and he was conducting such a scientific experiment for the first time.

He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, and said: “It’s not over yet, waiting for the recovery is the hardest part!”

There have been many experiences and precedents for rocket lift-off technology, but rocket recovery technology, the world is in the stage of exploring.

If their experiment can be successful, the significance of this rocket launch will definitely not be limited to a student graduation project, but will affect the entire aerospace industry!

The rocket continued to ascend, breaking through the clouds, until the ascending fuel burned out, and the lift-off distance reached 26.3 kilometers, at which time it had entered the stratosphere.

Immediately afterwards, the ascending thrusters stopped working, and the rocket began to fall. This is a particularly critical step. When falling at an altitude of 26 kilometers, no matter how hard the metal structure is, it will break!

Du Xingyu made two-handed preparations, the parachute and the second section of the propeller fuel.

“Everyone, stay a little far away, if it hits you, you will die!” Wang Wei shouted with a loudspeaker, making the students retreat.

The students evacuated quickly, and the rocket was still falling rapidly in the sky.

“Your recovery is at a fixed point?” Zhou Bin discovered that Du Xingyu was adjusting the destination of the rocket’s fall by adjusting the micro air jet device.

“Yes, I designed a fixed-point recovery system, which will fall within ten meters in diameter around the landing point.” Du Xingyu said.

“Spot recovery!” Zhou Bin’s heart was shocked. The space agency has been studying this technology for more than ten years! So far, there has been no breakthrough! Can he do it as a student?

The rocket is constantly adjusting its direction, and its distance from the ground is getting closer and closer, so if a rocket falls on the ground, if it is unprepared to directly hit the ground of the square, it is equivalent to a small bomb!

“Here!” Du Xingyu has been staring at the distance sensor. When the calculated landing distance is reached, the thruster is activated for the second time, using the second fuel reserve to generate reverse propulsion to offset the gravitational potential energy of the rocket’s falling.

The falling speed of the rocket began to slow down. Du Xingyu pressed the button, the space capsule with the rooster popped out, the parachute opened at the same time, and the space capsule began to fall slowly.

The rocket’s body continued to slow down and land towards the landing point.

“It’s going to fall!” Everyone became nervous, and the rocket was clearly visible in the sky. Its tail flames are still burning!

“Five hundred meters!”

“Three hundred meters!”

“One hundred meters!”

“Twenty meters!” The Xingkong-1 rocket stopped at a distance of 20 meters from the ground and did not directly hit it.

“Land!” Du Xingyu finished shouting. The rocket slowly landed and landed smoothly on the determined landing point. Except for the coating of the rocket body that was lost due to atmospheric friction, all other parts were intact.

“Success!” Du Xingyu stood up first and exclaimed excitedly.

“The landing was successful!” Wang Wei jumped up excitedly.

“We launched successfully? We also recovered the rocket? Wang Wei, you shoot me, am I dreaming?” Zhao Qingquan was a little confused.

“Being a dream of a fart, this is true!” Lu Liang exclaimed, “I admit that my calculation was wrong. I once estimated that the rocket launch success rate was zero percent, but now, it has successfully launched and landed perfectly— Du Xingyu, you are truly a god!”

“My God, Du Xingyu! You did it!” Xu Lianqiu embraced Du Xingyu excitedly and shouted excitedly.
