Under the guidance of Yu Chengwu and others, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun brought everyone to this temporary rocket launch control center built and assembled from containers.

It is said that it is assembled and built in containers, but in fact, it uses the frame of the container and then puts together many pieces, and there is a lot of space inside.

And indeed, as Yu Chengwu said, the environment inside is very good, not at all like a temporary building built in the desert.

The internal layout is also similar to that of a general control center, except for the two large screens spread across the two walls, the room is also divided into multiple work areas, filled with various types of equipment.

When they walked in, everyone who was working stood up and applauded. Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hands, motioning everyone to continue working.

And Yu Chengwu also introduced several people in front of him to him: "These are the leaders sent by our aerospace department, and these are the comrades of the local police and firefighters."

"Hi, thank you for your hard work." Wu Hao shook hands with these people one by one. These people are not very old, generally in their twenties and thirties.

To put it bluntly, it was just an ordinary rocket launch experiment. These people came here just for show, so no important leaders came here.

"Mr. Wu, why didn't you let us know in advance when you came? We are ready to prepare. I heard that you have set up this rocket launch test site in our autonomous prefecture. Our state leaders are very happy and say that it is an honor for our state.

I just heard that you and Mr. Zhang are here in person. Our leader told us that we must treat you well, and they are about to rush over. "A local cadre in his thirties said excitedly while holding his hand.

Well, Wu Hao didn't want to see these people, so he replied with a smile: "Thank you, thank you for the strong support from the local government. But please tell everyone, don't travel here so hard. We have a tight schedule. I'm leaving. Wait until next time, next time I will definitely visit them in person."

Why are these people so enthusiastic about paying attention? He actually knows in his heart that they are only here for his money. Usually these people can't see him, how can these people let go of the opportunity this time.

Of course, for these people, there is nothing wrong with looking for opportunities to attract investment for the places they rule with a glimmer of hope.

It's just that for a technology company like Haoyu Technology, such a remote place really has no value to invest in. So it is better not to meet these people than to waste your tongue.

"One-hour countdown to prepare for the launch of the No. 1 rocket."

"Yes, the countdown counts down for one hour to prepare, and the security personnel are on site to patrol and check the site to ensure that no idlers enter and stay in the martial law area."

"The ground recovery team is investigating where the rocket may have fallen to ensure that there are no idlers staying in the fall area."

"The weather monitoring team pays close attention to the transit airflow and instantaneous microclimate changes in the area. Especially the wind speed in the station is monitored to ensure that the entire launch mission is foolproof."

...

As orders were issued one after another, everyone in the command and control center began to get busy.

And Wu Hao didn't bother, but sat in the guest seat at the back with the local people, watching all this closely.

Through several screens, Wu Hao and the others could clearly see the real-time situation of the two rockets in the launch site. According to the plan, the one-time low-cost experimental rocket of the first 3D printing material will be launched first.

So Wu Hao and the others are also focusing their attention on this white experimental rocket with the words 'Haoyu Aerospace' printed on it.

This rocket consists of upper and lower stages, with a total height of 15.6 meters, a weight of 793 kilograms, and a maximum flight altitude of about 150 kilometers.

The rocket uses a new type of mixed liquid fuel that is independently proportioned by the research and development team. Of course, Wu Hao's "pointing" is indispensable for this. This test is also on the one hand to test the reliability of this new type of mixed liquid fuel and related flight test performance data.

"The countdown is 30 minutes, and all personnel in the launch site are evacuated."

Following Yu Chengwu's order, the staff who were conducting the final inspection and testing in the launch site also began to get on the vehicle to evacuate, and the rocket also entered the final preparation stage before the test flight.

"Start charging and start the self-inspection procedure of the rocket body system before the test flight."

The atmosphere in the control center was very dignified, and everyone was devoting themselves to their work. As for Yu Chengwu, who was standing in the command position, with a serious face, he was constantly watching the data information flashing on the big screen, for fear of missing it.

At this time, Zhou Xiangming, who was wearing a red protective suit, hurried in from the outside. It could be seen that there were still some traces of being attacked by the wind on his dark face, and there was also some dust hanging on his hair.

After seeing Wu Hao, he quickly walked over to him: "Mr. Wu."

"Well, it's hard work." Wu Hao held his hand tightly and said with concern on his face: "Why did it become like this, I didn't pay much attention to taking care of myself.

Although we are men, we should pay attention to it, and don't find a wife by then. "

"Hehe, I'm used to it." Zhou Xiangming stroked his hair, then looked at the data on the big screen and said, "How's the situation?"

"Everything is normal, Cheng Wu is directing." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Zhou Xiangming nodded, then stepped forward and stared at the screen, ignoring him.

In this regard, Wu Hao can also express his understanding. After all, everyone in the entire launch experiment center is now focused on this rocket, and it is really difficult to take care of other things. Let alone him, even the parents and family members of these people would not be in the mood to take care of them.

"Enter the launch countdown, ten minutes to prepare!"

Following this order, the test rocket at the launch site did not appear on the big screen. At the same time, the red countdown number next to it is also rapidly decreasing.

The entire control is in the center, except for the staff who are engrossed. The others also set their eyes on the big screen, and they were also silently reciting the countdown numbers in their hearts.

"Five minutes to prepare!"

"Damn, why are you so nervous." Zhang Jun clenched his fists, watched the picture on the big screen and couldn't help but swear.

Wu Hao smiled when he heard this, and then patted his arm to reassure him. Although no one has said anything here today, he knows that the success rate of this kind of experimental rocket launch is only 50%, half, half, or even lower.

Of course he was eager to succeed, but he was also ready to fail. Even for a moment, he was already thinking about how he should speak to comfort everyone present if the idea failed.

"Countdown one minute to prepare, fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds!"

"Ten, nine, eight, ... one, light the fire, take off!"
