Successful Launch!

At the Satellite Launch Base, a massive object with a diameter of 3.4 meters and a height of 24.6 meters was being slowly moved vertically by a mobile platform towards the launch tower not far away.

In the control center, a group of researchers were systematically conducting checks on the rocket. Among this group, there was a special team of thirteen people who were repeatedly simulating and testing the latest Candy Algorithm.

Initially, everyone referred to the Candy Algorithm as the New Attitude Balance Algorithm. However, after receiving the second version of the New Attitude Balance Algorithm, the name became increasingly awkward. Thinking of the algorithm, which was encapsulated like a piece of candy, someone, perhaps, took the lead and began calling the second version of the Attitude Balance Algorithm the Candy Algorithm.

"Old Chen, how about we postpone the satellite launch? Give the testing team more time to test the Candy Algorithm a few more times."

Chen Xihe patted his old friend Zhang Xianmin on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhang, aren't you confident in how I do things? As soon as I got this algorithm, I organized people to start testing it. So far, there hasn't been a single problem."

"Besides, there are still three days until the launch, right? Three days. If the Candy Algorithm has any issues, they will definitely be exposed. By then, it won't be too late to postpone the launch time. If absolutely necessary, we can also continue to use the original Attitude Balance Algorithm. Isn't that the logic, Old Zhang?"

Zhang Xianmin looked at the rocket on the central control screen, which was slowly being pushed towards the launch tower, and felt a sense of unease in his heart.

In Zhang Xianmin's opinion, they should conduct a practical test with a rocket without a satellite, and then, based on the data from the test, determine whether the Candy Algorithm was worth promoting. Only then would it be not too late to decide to use the Candy Algorithm for launching a satellite.

Although the satellite being launched this time was just an ordinary Weather Backup Satellite, even if the launch failed, the satellite crashed, or it exploded along with the rocket shortly after launch, the cost was still within an acceptable range.

The technology for various types of rockets was indeed very mature, but rocket launch failures still happened frequently every year, always caused by various unexpected small problems.

On general equipment, some small problems might not be a big deal, and even if some parts were missing, it wouldn't affect the normal operation of the equipment.

But rockets were different. In a state of high-speed motion, small problems would be quickly and infinitely magnified, ultimately leading to launch failure.

At this stage, it was the same for every country.

As long as there were no problems with manned spacecraft launches, everything else was within the acceptable range.

Satellites and other equipment could be rebuilt if lost, but astronauts could not.

Not only did it cost a huge amount for a country to train an astronaut, but more importantly, astronauts were living people.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the launch tower, all staff were coordinating with the control center for the final checks before the rocket launch.

After three days of testing, the Candy Algorithm had no problems whatsoever. Every test result showed that under the adjustment of the Candy Algorithm, the rocket's attitude remained very stable.

In the control center a few kilometers away from the launch tower, Chen Xihe, Zhang Xianmin, and a few other white-haired old men sat in the back row, quietly watching the young people.

This stage required more agile reaction capabilities to deal with various potential emergencies.

This was also one of the reasons why the control center was mostly filled with the younger generation during every rocket launch.

"All personnel please note, begin evacuating the launch tower. The satellite will ignite and launch in ten minutes."

"Repeat! All personnel please note, begin evacuating the launch tower. The satellite will ignite and launch in ten minutes."

Hearing the broadcast, all personnel on the launch tower, after completing the final check, evacuated to the buses on the ground.

As the last bus started and left, the area around the entire launch tower was empty.

"One minute to launch."

"Three... two... one..."

"Ignition! Launch!"

On the tall launch pad, as the chief commander pressed the red launch button, all the support arms that were originally attached to the milky white giant carrier rocket retracted. Various tracking and measurement equipment in the launch area were turned on, and recording equipment such as high-speed cameras and tape recorders were all activated and running.

A moment later, a continuous, deafening roar immediately erupted from the rocket launch site.

This roar was like a mountain collapsing, like a tsunami, shaking the earth.

One second later, the massive rocket lifted off, rising steadily, its tail spewing brilliant flames, soaring straight into the clouds.

In the control center, although Chen Xihe didn't speak, his eyes, behind his reading glasses, never left the large screen.

Not being worried was simply impossible!

The rocket soared into the blue sky. A few seconds later, the vertically ascending rocket began to turn; dozens of seconds later, the exhaust gas from the rocket condensed into smoke in the air, like a white ribbon stretching eastward and southeastward across the long sky, finally gradually becoming a small bright spot in the vast horizon, piercing through the atmosphere and disappearing from people's sight.

Meanwhile, from mainland China to the distant ocean measurement fleet, hundreds of sets of modern measurement and communication equipment designed and manufactured by China tightly "locked onto" the small bright spot invisible to the naked eye, accurately measuring, recording, and reporting the rocket's speed, altitude, and attitude at every instant.

Every moment, a large amount of measurement data converged from all directions across the country to the measurement and control data exchange center.

The measurement and control center connected all participating units into a tense combat collective through various precision equipment and lines, timely collecting and exchanging data between the participating units, constantly reporting the rocket's flight data to each measurement station, guiding them to accurately track the rocket.

And it promptly transmitted the information measured by each station and the rocket's flight status to the calculation and control center and command center in the launch area.

Good news kept coming!

"Tracking good!"

"Working normally!"

"Flying normally!"

When Chen Xihe saw the final section of the rocket detach on the large screen, the heart that had been hanging in his chest finally settled.

Just like the results of the simulation test, the rocket's attitude remained quite stable throughout the entire flight.

And afterward, when the satellite adjusted itself and entered its predetermined orbit, the Attitude Balance Algorithm also performed exceptionally well.

"Haha, let's go, Old Zhang, my treat."

Mo Jingchun, who was currently shopping at the supermarket, was completely unaware of all this. After all, the country launches so many rockets every year, and it's not like there's a platform for promotion and live broadcasting every time.

With Candy in a baby carrier, Mo Jingchun pushed a shopping cart, happily weaving back and forth through the three-story large shopping center.

"Candy's favorite strawberries! Grab a box!"

"No! Two boxes! I want to eat too!"
