Chapter 201: The Spectator Becomes the Spectacle

“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 become the chief teacher?” Li Shuyao was very surprised when she heard Tang Rui’s question.

If she remembered correctly, at the end of last month, Tang Rui had just boasted to her about becoming the chief teacher.

In the end, it had only been less than a month.

Why did he want to take her out?

“I’m also a chief engineer now, but the first phase of the project has been completed. 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 was completed.

As for the second generation, there was no rush. He would let the researchers develop the electromagnetic armed satellite first.

So, he really had nothing to do at the moment.

He was finished with the missile.

The transport plane project was also completed.

Although he had made a mistake earlier, he had gotten Red Lotus to re-evaluate the airflow layout of the transport plane afterward and manufactured one for the military to deliver.

As for why he had to redesign the aero layout,

The transport plane 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 place.”

Tang Rui didn’t care about where they went to play 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 played with his phone.

At this moment, he thought of the companies 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 Internet, and all sorts of traffic accounts 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 succeed 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 with launching 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 could compete.

In this aspect, the small days couldn’t compare to India.

Although they were clamoring 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 played 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 Army command center early. Through Red Lotus’s transcode, the situation at India’s space launch site was displayed with a holographic projection.

There was still half an hour before India launched 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 Center launch 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, the launch vehicle was finally about to launch. 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, the launch vehicle ignited.

In the command hall of the 1SRO, everyone was staring at the big screen, watching the rocket’s flight attitude.

Take-off and landing were the most dangerous moments.

A few seconds later, 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 the launch vehicle’s flight trajectory.

According to the information India had announced,

This manned spacecraft would enter an orbit of 400 kilometers, then begin orbiting and finally return to land.

This figure was actually quite impressive.

400 kilometers was sufficient.

After all, this was a manned space flight, not a satellite launch. The difficulty of the two was not comparable.

Soon, the secondary thrusters and fairing separated.

The three-stage rocket carried the manned spacecraft toward the 400-kilometer orbit.

“Did it succeed?”

Tang Rui put down the melon seeds, no longer eating.

So far, India’s launch 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 the landing, the manned space flight would be considered a success.

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 irregular 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’s command 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.”

“Recalculate the trajectory.”

“The calculations are complete.”

The recalculated orbital data appeared on the big screen.

This elliptical orbit overlapped with the orbit of a satellite below. That satellite was the space platform that the Americans had just launched 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 platform overlapped 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 just launched were all core components, not mobile units.

Suddenly, the director of NASA couldn’t laugh anymore.

Did he just get a taste of his own medicine?
