Chapter 96 Pathfinder successfully launched

After hearing the speaker's words, Mo Zeyang's breathing suddenly became faster.

He exclaimed in surprise: "What are Professor Lu planning to do?!"

"Quantum supercomputing center, and...artificial intelligence." The council leader said word by word, while staring into Mo Zeyang's eyes, "Do you think this is possible?"

Mo Zeyang froze on the spot.

Gradually, his face gradually turned red, and sparks of excitement flashed in his eyes!

He stood up from his chair with a loud noise and said excitedly: "Senior Councilor! Where is Professor Lu?"

"I'm going to find him!"

"I have long said that superconducting circuit quantum computers are the key to solving the problem of artificial intelligence!" Mo Zeyang's face was full of excitement, "I have finally waited for so many years!"

Mo Zeyang's reaction obviously exceeded the chairman's expectations.

Councilor Li composed himself and said slowly: "Do you think this architectural solution can realize a universal quantum computer?"

Facing Councilor Li's question, Mo Zeyang hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly but slowly.



At the same time, the rocket launch base in the United States.

Three Saturn VI heavy-lift rockets with a height of more than 150 meters rested quietly next to the launch frame.

In the landing module, the three astronauts sat nervously in their seats.

Andrew swallowed slightly and whispered to his companion: "Bruno, I'm a little nervous..."

Hearing Andrew's words, Bruno looked at Andrew with a wry smile: "Stop talking about you, I'm nervous too."

"I haven't been to space yet..."

The female astronaut Joy on the other side sighed slightly and said in a faint voice: "Me too..."

Andrew: "..."

Of course he knew that neither of them had ever been to space!

I don’t know what kind of aircraft NASA is working on, but the three astronauts in the Pathfinder project are all volunteers.

After a brief and rough training, the three selected astronauts were hastily sent into the Saturn VI launch vehicle.

Andrew still remembers the way his teacher looked at him.

Regret mixed with some sympathy.

Andrew twisted uneasily as his body, which was firmly fixed by the seat belt, said, "Do you think we can survive?"

Bruno sighed slightly and shook his head slowly: "It's difficult."

"NASA gave us a guarantee!" Andrew looked increasingly uneasy, "They said..."

"Tsk..." Joey, who had been silent until now, snorted angrily, "Do you believe what NASA says?"

"Anyway, since I came to participate in this project, I have no intention of going back alive... The pension of half a million US dollars is enough for my parents to live on."

Hearing this, Andrew couldn't help but fell silent.

After a long while, he let out a long breath.

Forget it, at least my wife and children can live more comfortably.

"Tsk..." A burst of electricity came from the radio.

"Attention, there are still 15 minutes until launch time!"



Ground command center in Houston, United States.

Moulton looked nervously at the three huge rockets on the big screen.

"Professor Chris, are you sure you have completed the examination?"

Upon hearing the question, Professor Chris, who was wearing a white coat, shook his head helplessly: "Director Moulton, this is the fifth time you have asked this question."

"Let me tell you one last time that all three Saturn VI launch vehicles have been inspected three times and no faults have been found."

"Believe me, they can send those three young guys to Mars safely!"



American television.

A talk show quietly started.

"Hello everyone, welcome to this program."

"Today, we will bring you the real-time launch scene of the Saturn VI rocket!"

"For this show, we specially invited Professor Parker from NASA!"

As the host's voice fell, three Saturn VI rockets arranged in a Z-shaped pattern appeared on the TV screen.

The close-up of the rocket ends, and the screen cuts back to the talk show scene again.

The host held the microphone and asked the white-haired professor on the side: "Professor Parker, can you tell us why the Pathfinder project used three Saturn VI launch vehicles?"

Parker's eyes moved slightly, and he responded with a slightly hoarse voice: "It's very simple, because our astronauts will spend three months on Mars."

The host showed an expression of amazement just right: "Wow, it took so long?"

"You should be carrying a lot of survival supplies, right?"

Parker nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Three astronauts inside the landing module of the Pathfinder 1 rocket."

"Pathfinder 2 carried the Mars module and return module."

"As for the Pathfinder 3 rocket, it carries various survival supplies, including food, water and necessary oxygen. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, there are also some spare parts for key equipment in the Pathfinder 3 rocket."

The host nodded slightly and was about to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Parker: "Okay, the rocket is about to launch."

Upon hearing this, the host quickly turned his attention to the big screen aside.

The TV screen also switched to the rocket launch site at this time.



"Attention, the rocket will ignite in one minute."

"Countdown, 30 seconds!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"ignition!"

Following the command, a tail flame gradually changing from orange to blue appeared at the bottom of the rocket.

Driven by liquid oxygen and kerosene engines, three huge Saturn VI rockets slowly rose.

The three astronauts in the landing module only felt a strong force pressing themselves onto their seats.

The speed of Saturn VI gradually increased, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.

"Arrived at the predetermined orbit, the first stage rocket is ready to separate!"

"Separation successful!"

"Successfully entered low-Earth orbit!"

"The second-stage rocket separated successfully!"

As time passed, reports came from the radio.

A faint smile gradually appeared on Moulton's face.

Success!

Professor Chris on the side breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the microphone, and turned on the radio communication switch.

"Pathfinder 1, this is the ground command center in Houston. Please reply when you receive it!"

After a short wait, Andrew's response came over the radio.

"Call Houston, Pathfinder 1 received, please speak!"

"Report the situation!"

"Call Houston, the rocket is in good condition, the astronauts are in good condition, everything is fine!"

Andrew's voice was transmitted to the ground command center in Houston through a radio signal, and then sounded on major television stations and radio stations in the United States.

After a brief silence, every scientific researcher in the Houston Command Center stood up and clapped vigorously!ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Looking at the scene of thunderous applause in front of him, a trace of tears suddenly appeared in the corner of Moulton's eyes.

"God bless America..."

He reached out and made a sign of the cross on his chest, muttering to himself.
Chapter completed!
