Originally half-squinting her eyes, intending to sleep, Little Candy immediately opened her eyes wide upon hearing Mo Jingchun's words and looked at herself in the mirror left and right.

After confirming there were no tears at the corners of her eyes, Little Candy pouted and said angrily, "Stinky brother～tricking Guoguo～"

"When brother gets old, Guoguo will pull off brother's oxygen mask."

This won't do, Candy!

Mo Jingchun silently resolved that from now on, he would no longer let Little Candy watch cartoons that could easily mislead children.

After having breakfast in the hall, Mo Jingchun carried Little Candy and boarded the special bus outside.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the bus arrived at the observation platform for the manned spaceflight launch. Just as Mo Jingchun was about to get off with the crowd, he was stopped again.

"Expert Mo, the authorities specifically instructed to have the bus take you directly to the command center to watch the manned spaceflight launch."

Mo Jingchun was stunned for a moment, then sat down again with Little Candy in his arms.

At this time, the sky outside the bus window was gradually lighting up, and dawn was drawing closer.

The time for the manned spaceflight launch was also getting closer.

After another five-minute drive, the bus finally stopped on a broad open ground.

Following the guide into the command center, Mo Jingchun finally saw many familiar faces, including his most familiar Academician Chen Xihe.

From the last row of the command hall, Chen Xihe waved to Mo Jingchun, who just walked in.

"Teacher."

Holding Little Candy, Mo Jingchun walked over and respectfully greeted, "Teacher."

"Mm, it's good you came. Watching your research achieve liftoff is a very enjoyable process. You'll feel it soon."

Saying this, Chen Xihe also reached out and teased the adorable Little Candy.

"Candy, have you missed Mr. Chen?"

In Mo Jingchun's arms, Little Candy frowned, looked up at her brother, and reluctantly nodded, "Guoguo missed Mr. Chen."

"Hahaha, you clever little thing, you truly look like your brother. Indeed, you two make a perfect pair of siblings."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun could only smile to hide his embarrassment, secretly thinking, "When did I become a clever rascal?"

Just at that moment, the loudspeaker in the command hall sounded.

"Attention all personnel, attention all personnel."

"30-minute countdown preparation for launch."

"Launch site staff, assist astronauts to enter the spacecraft and conduct the final inspection."

...

Orders were issued one after another, and all the staff became busy, even Mo Jingchun found his assigned seat and quietly sat down.

5:33 AM!

"Attention all staff, attention all staff."

"10-minute countdown preparation for launch!"

"All staff at the launch site, please evacuate."

"I repeat, all staff at the launch site, please evacuate."

The flames emitted during the launch of the manned spacecraft are extremely high temperature, posing a risk to staff nearby.

Moreover, no one can guarantee the absolute safety of the manned spacecraft.

If absolute safety could be ensured, there would be no need for an escape tower.

Manned spacecraft are indeed invaluable, but when compared to the astronauts inside the spacecraft, human life is more important.

If the spacecraft is lost, it can always be rebuilt, but if a life is lost, it's gone for good.

Little Candy, who originally sat on Mo Jingchun's lap, stood up restlessly, supporting herself on the table with her hands, her little head curiously looking around.

For the little one, there were just too many new things to take in.

5:42 AM!

"One-minute countdown to launch!"

...

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

...

In the command hall, everyone held their breath, awaiting the moment of launch.

Not only in the manned spacecraft launch command hall, but even the spectators watching the live launch a few kilometers away couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched the countdown to 5:43 on the dot.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Ignition!"

"Launch!"

The huge screen displayed the real-time images of the launch site, as well as video and various data of the astronauts inside the manned spacecraft.

The little one had never seen such a scene, and her big eyes were already stunned by the sight before her.

Even her little mouth dropped open in amazement.

"Wow～"

"Wow～"

"Wow～"

Little Candy pointed at the gigantic "torch" rising into the sky, her head constantly moving back and forth between Mo Jingchun's face and the large screen.

"Beihai, Jing City radar tracking normal."

"Beihai, Dongfeng infrared tracking normal."

"Beihai, communications normal."

...

A large amount of data continuously converged into the command hall from all over the country, each "normal" being a testament to the efforts of all researchers.

Watching the rocket smoothly adjust the attitude of the manned spacecraft, Mo Jingchun suddenly understood the meaning behind Academician Chen Xihe's words from a while ago.

Seeing a manned spacecraft that you helped design launch, there really is a great sense of achievement.

"Brother～brother～it's flying～it's flying～"

Mo Jingchun held Little Candy, watching the rapidly ascending manned spacecraft, his face beaming with a smile.

Of course, it was not yet time to celebrate. The staff continued to closely monitor the various data.

"Second stage rocket separation!"

"Second stage rocket separation successful."

"Rocket recovery system functioning normally."

————

"Escape tower separation successful."

This moment signifies that the escape tower has completed its mission.

The manned spacecraft has also passed through its most dangerous moment.

Looking at the real-time images of outer space transmitted back by the manned spacecraft's camera, Mo Jingchun was also astonished.

Viewing Earth from outer space, with such high-definition images, was something Mo Jingchun had never seen before.

It turns out, the planet beneath our feet is a hundred times more beautiful than the pictures circulating on the Internet.

And for the first time, Mo Jingchun felt a close connection to the terminator line mentioned in geography books.

Everything was incredibly awe-inspiring.

"Brother～The planet is so beautiful."

Mo Jingchun rubbed Little Candy's head and said emotionally, "Yeah, she's so beautiful. I bet a hundred years ago, she was even more stunning."

At this moment, all the staff stood up and joyfully celebrated the successful launch of the manned spacecraft into outer space.

As for the next step, once the manned spacecraft readjusts its position, it will be heading swiftly towards its next destination—the Moon!
