Mo Yuan didn't really care about the Federation's war against the two continents, since he couldn't see any possibility of losing.
On his first day as Parliament Speaker, he signed a special appointment document, appointing himself President of the Federation Academy of Sciences of Sciences.
The appointment met with no resistance within Parliament and was approved unanimously.
After all, besides being the Parliament Speaker of the Federation, Mo Yuan is also recognized by the entire academic community as the strongest Soul Engineer. With his Soul Tool, he is comparable to a peak Quasi-God level expert like Chen Xinjie.
Thus, the original president of the Federation Academy of Sciences also chose to retire and did not stay.
The first thing Mo Yuan did after taking over the Academy of Sciences was to reorganize the scientific research system.
He reorganized the existing research institutes of the Academy of Sciences into six research laboratories: energy, materials, physics, communications, biology, and soul-guided weapons, which corresponded exactly to several key areas he had previously proposed.
Each research lab has a chief director, who is a core member of the existing Academy of Sciences.
After doing all this, Mo Yuan took out some of his own ideas and blueprints and threw them to the various research labs, letting them figure them out on their own.
Mo Yuan himself personally oversaw the Federation's rocket research.
This rocket is for the Federation's satellites. The Satellite Technology is actually quite mature; all that's missing is sending it into space.
The Federation previously had no aerospace industry foundation, and its related technological reserves were almost zero.
Mo Yuan built the entire process of rocket design, manufacturing, and testing from scratch.
In his first week as Parliament Speaker, he completed the design and in the fifth week, he completed the manufacturing of the main components, all without using his authority.
In the seventh week, the rocket assembly was completed, and it entered the testing phase.
The testing content is actually quite complex, including engine ignition tests, fuel system sealing tests, rocket body structural strength verification, and flight control program Simulation execution, among many other things.
Each test was conducted at Anti-Entropy's secret base, and the team involved consisted of Anti-Entropy's engineers and technicians from the Academy of Sciences.
The engine ignition test was the first to be completed.
The rocket engine uses a scaled-down version of the Source Loop Reaction Array as its energy core, in conjunction with Spatial Energy Storage Core as a backup energy source.
Output is achieved using a special aerospace engine manufactured by Mo Yuan.
As for the other tests, they are proceeding in an orderly manner.
The rocket completed all tests in week eight.
Mo Yuan named the rocket " Spark One " and the satellite " Star Dou One," since these were for building the Star Dou Battle Net, so those names would be fine.
The primary function of this first satellite is to verify the technical feasibility of transmitting Soul-Conducting Communication signals from space to the ground, and to test the stability of the satellite's operation in orbit.
Of course, if there are no problems, it will be put directly into use to ensure that no waste occurs.
The launch site was located in an uninhabited area in the northwestern part of the Federation, about several hundred kilometers away from the Endless Mountain Range.
Even during the rocket development phase, the main structure of the launch site, including the launch tower, control center, fuel storage area, and a monitoring Soul Tool covering the entire launch site, had already been completed.
After all, it's a fantasy world, so they're naturally quite adept at infrastructure development.
The launch was scheduled for the third day after the Federation Expeditionary Force conquered the Heaven Dou Continent.
On that day, Mo Yuan arrived at the launch site, accompanied by the head of the propulsion section of the Chinese Academy of Academy of Sciences, several core engineers from Anti-Entropy, and a large number of people from all walks of life.
Even the old guy Di Tian was among them.
It's worth mentioning that Mo Yuan actually arranged a job for him within the Federation: researching policies for the protection and breeding of Soul Beast.
After all, only you truly know what you want, right?
Looking at the rocket undergoing its final checks on the launch pad in the distance, Ling Zichen couldn't help but marvel, lost in thought.
Okay, actually, it's not that I didn't know.
Even Mo Yuan could tell that she was thinking of her beloved Eternal Heaven at that moment.
From the moment he took office, Ling Zichen expressed her desire to study the Eternal Heaven more than once, but after being rejected by herself many times, she gradually gave up.
Sure enough, she suddenly spoke up, "Boss, you said rockets can send satellites into space, so sending a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell would be a piece of cake, right?"
Mo Yuan didn't even bother with her.
However, in a sense, rockets and ballistic missiles do share many similarities in technology.
The Federation's commonly used Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell are mostly cruise missiles, since the Federation doesn't really need ballistic missiles for beyond-visual-range strikes, right?
Seeing that his boss ignored him, Ling Zichen didn't say anything more and instead shrank to the side to think.
The launch countdown began the following morning.
Fueling was completed in the Ling Chen, and all systems of the rocket passed self-tests.
All monitoring Soul Tool around the launch site were activated, covering the entire airspace from the launch site to the expected orbital insertion point.
The Monitor in the control center simultaneously display rocket status, weather data, airspace monitoring data, and satellite status.
Mo Yuan stood in the center of the control center, looking at the countdown numbers on the Monitor.
The engineers and technicians in the control center took their positions, and confirmation reports from the heads of each system came through the communication channel.
"Energy system, normal."
"Propulsion system, normal."
"Communication system, normal."
"Monitoring system, normal."
"Launch program complete."
Mo Yuan glanced at the time; the countdown had entered its final three minutes.
The volume in the control center gradually decreased, leaving only brief reports coming from the communication channel.
Mo Yuan stood in front of the control panel, his gaze fixed on the glowing dot representing the rocket on the Monitor.
"Countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 -- Ignition."
The light spot on the Monitor flashed brightly for a moment, then began to move upwards.
White flames shot out from the boosters at the bottom of the rocket, and the rocket body rose from the launch tower, gradually increasing its speed.
The Monitor in the control center switched to a rocket view, showing the ground rapidly shrinking while the sea unfolded in the field of view.
"Phase one is progressing normally."
"Phase two is progressing normally."
"The three-phase progress is normal."
"Star and rocket separated."
"Satellite in orbit."
Before long, the light representing the satellite on the Monitor entered its designated orbit and began orbiting Douluo Star.
Applause erupted in the control center, lasting for about ten seconds before gradually subsiding.
Mo Yuan looked at the satellite orbit data on the Monitor and confirmed that all parameters were within the normal range.
He picked up the communicator and confirmed the status with the heads of each system in turn.
" Star Dou One successfully entered orbit; all systems are functioning normally."
He put down the communicator and looked at Gu Yue, who had remained silent from the beginning.
