Propelled by massive orange flames, the rocket shot swiftly into the sky, leaving behind only a huge trail of smoke.
Meanwhile, the command center monitored the rocket's operation.
"Entering the programmed turn..."
"Altitude 52 kilometers, passing through the stratosphere..."
"Altitude 72 kilometers. First-stage rocket engine shut down and separated successfully. Second-stage engine ignition successful..."
"Reached the designated altitude of 35,000 kilometers. Fairing detached. Satellite One separated successfully."
"Satellite Two separated."
"Satellite Nine separated."
The satellites accurately settled into their designated orbits.
"Satellite solar panels deployed normally."
Nine reports of normal operation rang through the command center.
"We succeeded!"
"Oh, we succeeded! Hahaha!"
Amid the exhilarating shouts, everyone in the command center erupted into cheers. Many happily embraced one another. After all, these satellites were simply too important.
Even Chu Feng was swept up by everyone's emotions, a knowing smile appearing on his face. Director Pan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Quantum communication satellites—China had been the first to send them into space!
"Satellite connection successful. Operating normally!"
The Origin Company personnel also reported on the satellites' operational status.
"Begin testing satellite performance."
Without wasting any time, everyone threw themselves back into tense data analysis and experiments. This was the first quantum communication experiment, and everyone took it extremely seriously.
The work that followed was no longer something Chu Feng could participate in.
When the people on the viewing platform learned that the satellites had entered their designated orbits, that data testing had begun, and that they would soon become operational, they too let out excited cheers!
Winston and Harry's mouths hung so wide open that eggs could have fit inside. For a long time, neither could recover.
Wasn't the launch supposed to fail?
Wasn't the technology supposed to be fake?
This wasn't scientific! Could the USA's
