“It’s almost May Day. Where do you want to go?”
During dinner, Tang Rui asked Li Shuyao where she wanted to travel.
“Are you alright? Didn’t you just be the chief teacher?” Li Shuyao was very surprised when she heard Tang Rui’s question.
If she remembered correctly, at the end ofst month, Tang Rui had just boasted to her about bing the chief teacher.
In the end, it had only been less than a month.<div>

Why did he want to take her out?
“I’m also a chief engineer now, but the first phase of the project has beenpleted. I don’t have anything to do at the moment.”
Tang Rui had submitted the blueprint after the system upgrade and optimization.
The first generation of armed satellites waspleted.
As for the second generation, there was no rush. He would let the researchers develop the electromaic armed satellite first.
So, he really had nothing to do at the moment.
He was finished with the missile.
The transport ne project was alsopleted.
Although he had made a mistake earlier, he had gotten Red Lotus to re-evaluate the airflowyout of the transport ne afterward and manufactured one for the military to deliver.
As for why he had to redesign the aeroyout,
The transport ne definitely could not follow… They looked the same, right?
Thus, he had redesigned it.
Anyway, the design of this thing was very simple, and modifying the internal design was easier.
Currently, there was one project he had yet to deliver.
It was the ground support attack aircraft project.
But this project was not urgent.
He could easily settle it when he was bored.
“I see… If you ask me now, I can’t think of anywhere. 1’11 go to work tomorrow and look up a guide to see where it’s fun.”
Li Shuyao thought for a moment and couldn’t decide where to go.
They couldn’t travel abroad, anyway.
As for domestic locations, there were no restrictions.
“Alright, you can choose the ce.”
Tang Rui didn’t care about where they went to y at all. The main thing was that he stayed home every day. After a while, he became restless.
After dinner, Tang Rui leaned on the sofa and yed with his phone.
At this moment, he thought of thepanies that had applied for technology licensing before.
It had been more than a month.
The wearables were not out yet.
There was a lot of news on the Inte, and all sorts of traffic ounts were constantly leaking information.
The buzz was quite high.
But in reality, they were not sold at all.
As for the AR game that Huawei was talking about, there wasn’t even a shadow of it now. Just thinking about it was annoying.
Things were moving too slowly.
The bored Tang Rui could only look up more information online.
Hmm?
Was India going to do a space flight on the 28th of the month?
Today was the 23rd.
This meant that his India was going to fly this weekend.
It was indeed official news.
It seemed that India was determined to enter the space race.
Tang Rui was looking forward to India’s performance.
As for whether he could seed or not, he couldn’t say for sure.
After all, the aerospace project was also done by the entire country. There had been no problems withunching rockets before.
We don’t think India’s aerospace engineering is that impressive, but that’s because we are impressive.
Compared to India, there were so many countries in the world, but really not many couldpete.
In this aspect, the small days couldn’tpare to India.
Although they were moring about sending people to the moon, that was their own technology.
Who didn’t know how to hitch a ride?
Moreover, this news was only publicized to show respect to their father.
They had offered so much money.
Since they hadn’t learned any skills, giving them a seat wouldn’t be a problem. After all, it would make them feel better.
Tang Rui yed with his phone for a while before Li Shuyao dragged him to the gym.
In the next few days, Tang Rui didn’t do any research either. He just wandered around at home every day and watched movies when he had nothing else to do.
He couldn’t bring himself to keep researching.
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.
Tang Rui arrived at the Blue Armymand center early. Through Red Lotus’s transcode, the situation at India’s spaceunch site was disyed with a holographic projection.
There was still half an hour before Indiaunched the manned spacecraft.
Crack.
Tang Rui sat in the chair, cracking melon seeds.
On the holographic projection screen, Brother San’s news anchor was bragging about all aspects.
However, honestly, the Satish Dhawan Space Centerunch site wasn’t bad.
It was just that the paint was a bit perplexing.
Why not make it white or blue?
Instead, they got a fan of the macho man.
It was a bit unbearable to watch.
Crack.
By the time Tang Rui had eaten half a bag of melon seeds, theunch vehicle was finally about tounch. The exciting moment had arrived.
Tang Rui stopped eating melon seeds.
He stared at the holographic projection in front of him.
As the countdown ended, theunch vehicle ignited.
In themand hall of the 1SRO, everyone was staring at the big screen, watching the rocket’s flight attitude.
Take-off andnding were the most dangerous moments.
A few secondster, the carrier rocket flew normally and soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
The image on Tang Rui’s holographic projection screen also switched to a satellite perspective, clearly showing theunch vehicle’s flight trajectory.
ording to the information India had announced,
This manned spacecraft would enter an orbit of 400 kilometers, then begin orbiting and finally return tond.
This figure was actually quite impressive.
400 kilometers was sufficient.
After all, this was a manned space flight, not a satelliteunch. The difficulty of the two was notparable.
Soon, the secondary thrusters and fairing separated.
The three-stage rocket carried the manned spacecraft toward the 400-kilometer orbit.
“Did it seed?”
Tang Rui put down the melon seeds, no longer eating.
So far, India’sunch vehicle was functioning normally, with no problems during its orbital flight.
The spacecraft was about to enter orbit.
As long as there were no issues with thending, the manned space flight would be considered a sess.
Hmm?
At that moment, Tang Rui noticed something was amiss.
The three-stage rocket hadn’t separated from the spacecraft.
That shouldn’t have happened.
They were already in orbit.
What were they waiting for?
Puff!
The manned spacecraft’s attitude control engine activated, spewing out gas, and began to adjust the spacecraft’s attitude.
But the problem was that the three-stage rocket hadn’t detached.
This attempt at attitude adjustment was problematic.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Tang Rui watched the three manned spacecrafts frantically spurt gas in space, constantly trying to adjust their attitude.
However, with the three-stage rocket attached, it was difficult to correct the posture.
For two whole minutes, it spurted gas.
Out of breath, the manned spacecraft dragged the three-stage rocket and began orbiting the Earth in an irregr motion.
Crack!
Tang Rui resumed eating melon seeds.
He really hadn’t expected that after everything had gone smoothly, it would fail due to the three-stage rocket not separating.
Honestly, this was too basic an error.
Even if the spaceship had a problem, it would be more understandable.
But a problem with the separation system?
It was a little ridiculous.
In the ISRO’smand hall, there was silence.
The person in charge was still talking to the astronauts, inquiring about the situation.
The astronauts were fine. They were just a bit dizzy from being spun around and had to keep spinning.
Without external forces, the doomed spacecraft would float in space for some time before falling into the atmosphere and then crashing to the ground.
“Sir, the spacecraft has deviated from its orbit.”
“How far off?”
“A deviation of 6.2 degrees.”
“Recalcte the trajectory.”
“The calctions areplete.”
The recalcted orbital data appeared on the big screen.
This elliptical orbit ovepped with the orbit of a satellite below. That satellite was the space tform that the Americans had justunched and had yet to assemble.
NASA’s satellite control center was also monitoring India’s manned space flight.
In the end, just as he had finished enjoying the spectacle, bad news arrived.
Their space tform ovepped with India’s spacecraft. The scariest part was that they had no way to adjust the satellite’s orbit.
This was because the three satellites they had justunched were all coreponents, not mobile units.
Suddenly, the director of NASA couldn’tugh anymore.
Did he just get a taste of his own medicine?</font>
