Chapter 186 Don't Go Gentle Into The Good Night
"How many days in advance have you prepared the test base and launch pad, but you told me that it can't be completed yet?"
"No...it's not, Team Leader Jiang, we've been working on it for a while, but there's a small problem again."
Facing this young man with an extremely cold expression, the chief construction engineer in his fifties faltered and hesitated, a little nervous, and a drop of cold sweat broke out from his white temples.
"What is the purpose of your existence?" Jiang Cheng turned around, turned his back to him, and suddenly asked this vague question.
"Me? Ah?" The middle-aged man didn't react for a while.
"The reason for your existence is to solve problems when they arise!"
"Understood!" The chief construction engineer stood up straight, not daring to delay the slightest, and walked out the door.

At the most tense moment, no one in the entire Academy of Astronomy took a break, and all of them were dispatched to observe data, just because of one thing, the brain-like detector was about to be launched.
The detection of weather data, whether the cold weather will affect the combustion and utilization of energy, and the flight cycle of the probe.
Numerous problems came up, waiting for them to solve one by one. Goering was very busy, let alone Jiang Cheng, the project team leader.
Goering hurried up to the top floor to obtain the first-hand data. Afraid that the assistant would be too slow in delivering the information, he sent it down by himself to obtain feedback before returning.
In the severe winter, there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Before that, they had solved almost all the technical problems, and now they are just at the door, and of course it is impossible to stop.
In one go, the tense state continued until the detector was completely launched, and then everyone had a chance to breathe. They needed to last until that moment.
At that time, hard work is useless. The researchers have tried their best and done the best they can. Success or failure depends on fate.
······
Wan Xingyan is repeatedly testing the combination of brain-like and detectors.
Even though the feedback given to him is perfect every time, he is still testing, because when launched into space, the environment there is naturally no better than that on land.
The researchers even set up a cabin imitating the space environment on the second floor of the observation room for experiments, for fear of any accidents.
Let’s not talk about whether H-012 can be found after the brain-like enters the death dimension, nor whether it can break through many obstacles and obtain the video carefully, let alone whether he can return after obtaining the video.
At least, you have to launch to the equator first, right?
If they can't even do this simplest step well, then their hard work these days has really been applied to the dogs.
In fact, the combination of brain-like and detectors is relatively difficult. It is conceivable that with a human brain and a body made of steel, it is difficult to integrate the two things.
What Wan Xingyan and Jiang Cheng are most afraid of is the rejection of brain-like brains. Fortunately, this situation does not occur now.
"Professor Wan, the result of this test is still perfect, can I report it to Team Leader Jiang?"
A scientific research member asked after the experiment.
Wan Xingyan pondered for a while, "Try again!"
······
Professor Busch was holding one document after another in his hand. He read it continuously, signed it, and declared it.
He will not let go of any detail in the document, it can be said that he reads it very carefully.
Those who are finally reviewed are the high-level officials of the Great Power Alliance, and it should be the last process through the hands of Professor Busch. After all, there are not many layers in total.
In this kind of matter, there is naturally no delay or evasion process in the officialdom, and the high-level officials want to resolve this matter as soon as possible more than anyone else.
Even if all countries are reassuring people and telling everyone that nothing is wrong, you can rest assured.
Jiang Cheng also told everyone sincerely during his public speech that he did not believe that Chang Ye would come.
The public opinion of the media is under control, and it is strictly forbidden to promote critical speeches about the end of the world. The top and bottom are united, and they are united to overcome this difficulty. It can be said that all parties are working hard. But people are still flustered. After all, this is the first time since the birth of civilization, and it is an officially confirmed statement. A few months ago, they were at a loss. After Jiang Cheng came, there was room for Kan Xuan. How could they not worry? Woolen cloth?
Many people are still working part-time. They are so tired that they will die and live. When they wake up the next day, they will have to pay back their mortgages. Many people are still looking forward to a better life in the future, spending every day in a daze, thinking that the years are still long, and suddenly everyone may die, what will happen then?
All the rules of modern civilized society will be broken. If death is inevitable, then before they die, they will do things they have never done before, and reveal the sinister nature of human nature to the extreme.
In fact, in the past two months, the security forces of various countries have been deployed to the city for fear of terrorist incidents.
······
Each shot represents how tense the researchers are. Everyone is doing what they should do step by step, acting as a gear in the huge machinery and a worker ant in the ant empire.
I have to admit that at some point, individuals are weak, but when human beings are really united, the power will amaze us.
No matter how busy you are, there will always be an end, the timeline is gradually approaching the end, and the moment when the people in the camera converge at the same place, there is no doubt about it!
The brain-like detector is about to launch.
Jiang Cheng still uses the name "No. 4".
Time: five o'clock in the morning.
Location: The remote plains in the northern part of the beautiful country.
Personnel: The entire cosmic docking project team, Professor Busch, and several high-level personnel, ignoring the engineering personnel.
The coldness of winter seems to have paved a layer of cold and quiet atmosphere for this plan. At five o'clock in the morning, the world is still dark, as if everything has not woken up and is in a deep sleep.
The green grass on the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and there were even some ice crystals at the tip of the leaves. The wind blowing over the head covered the face, pouring into the thick clothes, and the originally brown land was completely white.
When looking at the skyline, you can see the farthest place you can see. The gray and light blue cover each other, revealing a large area of compact light, which makes people want to stretch out their hands to push away all these clouds and let the sky shine. down.
The hard and thick soles of the boots stepped on the green grass, and there was a slight "creaking" sound. Many engineers shrank their necks, exhaled a few mouthfuls of white mist, and slowly approached the most central position.
There stood an extremely huge launch pad, glowing with a fierce steel color, as cold as the winter sky, giving people a feeling that strangers should not get close
All problems solved, Jiang Cheng stood by the railing, looking at the launch pad calmly.
A few minutes later, the engineering staff transmitted the data, and someone beside him was reporting that the short numbers entered his ears.
After he finished listening, he looked down at his watch and let out a breath of hot air. In an instant, white mist filled Jiang Cheng's eyes, and there was a row of people standing beside him, all looking at him nervously.
All it takes is a word from Jiang Cheng, the cosmic docking plan will come to an end. After several days of tension, I can finally take a breath. The end of everything, just in these few seconds, months of hard work, just in these few seconds bell!
Success or failure, also in these few seconds...
Jiang Cheng held the railing in his hand. The hard and cold feeling made his brain extremely clear. He calmly announced the first order, "All tests are completed, and the probe enters the launch system according to the predetermined orbit!"
"clear!"
The heavy detector is like a steel giant, slowly approaching the predetermined position in the slide rail, and the brain is placed in the core, which is like a precious heart.
"It has entered the predetermined position! Team leader Jiang, please issue instructions."
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes again and looked at the gray sky, "The second command, report all the data of the launch pad and the detector, is it normal!"
All of a sudden, twelve departments and hundreds of engineering personnel stared closely at the data in their hands, and then reported and summarized it.
When presented to the screen held by the assistant, he gave only a few words.
"Report to Team Leader Jiang! Everything is normal!"
"Time! Temperature! Wind direction! Air pressure!"
"On the 6th, at 5:12 in the morning, the probability of rain is 10%, the humidity is 64%, the north wind, the body temperature is -11 degrees Celsius, and the air pressure is 1017 hPa! Visibility is 16.1 kilometers!"
At the end of the story, there was a few seconds of silence. No one knew that Jiang Cheng was communicating with number four who had established a spiritual link.
Next, you will go to the distant equator instead of human beings. Everything in space is unpredictable. Are you ready to complete this glorious and great mission and bring back the situation of H-012?
Boss, I'm ready...
Do you understand that once you enter the dimension of death, we will no longer be able to provide you with any help, even communication may be cut off, and you can only act with your own judgment.
Boss, I understand.
Then, go... Number four, I'll be waiting for your return.
An awe-inspiring air came from Jiang Cheng's heart, and he slammed on the railing!
He announced the two words the entire planet was expecting.
"ignition!"
After receiving the command from the commander-in-chief, the launch pad immediately pressed the button!
In an instant, on the vast land, a gloomy world suddenly flashed a dazzling light!
That's fire!
The gorgeous fireworks are like the biggest and most beautiful fireworks in the world, with the smell of a blazing prairie fire, turning the land under the tail flames into black, no one can open their eyes when looking directly at it, someone is watching Use your fingers to block the warm brilliance that invades from the vastness, and observe it soaring into the sky between your fingers.
The deafening sound reverberated, and the billowing smoke covered the entire plain in an instant like a gray avalanche. The breath between the mouth and nose was like the burnt smell that choked the throat on the battlefield full of artillery fire. The sound waves were shaking crazily , distorting the air.
The shaking of the ground continued, and the railings were shaking crazily. The engineers standing on the plain lost their balance and fell to the ground, as if a steel giant was stepping on the ground violently, rushing towards humans.
The brain-inspired detector rushed into space and slowly rose, its tail flames igniting the entire night, as if it wanted to tear up the gray and white.
It is not just a probe flying to the equator, it is the first torch lit in a world that has been silent for a long time.
It keeps climbing up, at an unimaginable speed, with an aura of fearlessness, and at the same time, it also carries Jiang Cheng's blood to protect his homeland!
Go... Number four, I'm waiting for your return, Jiang Cheng murmured in his heart.
The researchers watched nervously as the brain-like detector became higher and smaller, until finally it became a small black dot and disappeared in the sky. The ground-to-air signal showed that the detector followed the predetermined launch route by a fraction of a second. Flying not bad until breaking through the outer atmosphere.
until it leaves the planet.
This precious launch image was captured.
This day is also known as the historical memory point of mankind's first attempt to confront the invaders.

"Even if death comes tomorrow, we will still roar and be unyielding, we will not go gentle into the good night."
