"Launch countdown."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five..."

"Ignition!"

Boom!

At the Island Rocket Launch Base Center, the rear of the gigantic heavy-lift rocket roared thunderously as the rocket engines pushed with full force, and the Feiyue Rocket lifted off from the Escape Tower.

This moment was extremely significant in the history of domestic aerospace.

Millions of people across the country were watching this rocket launch in various livestream rooms, and numerous foreigners worldwide were also following the Feiyue Aerospace rocket launch closely.

"Telemetry is normal."

"Tracking signals are normal."

As one voice after another sounded in the command center, Ding Yue, Vice Deputy Chen, and the senior academics of Xia Science Institution felt extremely excited.

Every normal command and feedback was a crucial step towards the success of the Feiyue Rocket.

"Principal Ding, you seem quite calm."

Vice Deputy Chen said with a smile to Ding Yue standing beside him.

In the eyes of Vice Deputy Chen and several senior academics from Xia Science Institution, Ding Yue indeed appeared to be quite composed.

In fact.

Ding Yue was outwardly calm, but deep inside, he was quite excited. After all, this was the first high-end technological integration attempt between Mist City Arts and Science University's Aerospace Academy and Feiyue Aerospace in the field of rockets.

If it were to fail, technologies like the hydrogen-oxygen engine and rocket recovery would become the laughingstock of others.

After all, if your rocket launch fails, what good is talking about successful rocket recovery?

"That's because I have great confidence in them."

Ding Yue replied with a deliberately calm smile to Vice Deputy Chen.

At this moment, even if excitement filled one's heart, outwardly, one had to maintain a composed demeanor. At such a crucial moment, staying calm allowed for a more relaxed acceptance of any outcome.

The Feiyue Rocket followed the predetermined route perfectly from launch all the way up.

The powerful thrust of the two booster rockets sent the massive rocket skyward and into the atmosphere.

As the Feiyue Rocket entered the atmosphere, some joyful voices started to be heard in the command center.

Everything after that proceeded as normal.

"It's about to reach outer space, the rocket recovery process will commence after reaching outer space."

Ding Yue said to Vice Deputy Chen.

Vice Deputy Chen, of course, was aware of this, watching the Feiyue Rocket ascend higher and higher. Upon reaching outer space, the two booster rockets would detach and the rocket recovery program would commence.

This was the first time that a domestic space rocket utilized rocket recovery technology during an official launch, an event that many were watching both domestically and internationally.

Since Mist City Arts and Science University's Aerospace Academy and Feiyue Aerospace announced they had mastered rocket recovery technology, many netizens in the country had been eagerly anticipating its use in an official rocket launch.

Until today.

Finally, Feiyue Aerospace's inaugural rocket employed rocket recovery technology.

Additionally, according to information released by Feiyue Aerospace, once the rocket recovery technology matured, it would be provided to the Space Administration to significantly advance the development of their space endeavors.

In the live broadcast room on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform,

"This is thrilling!"

"It's reaching the atmosphere, right?"

"This hydrogen-oxygen engine technology is incredible."

"Our country's aerospace technology has truly entered a new phase."

"Feiyue Aerospace is awesome!"

"The Space Administration should soon be able to use this hydrogen-oxygen engine technology and rocket recovery technology, right?"

"When will rocket recovery take place?"

"The thrust of this rocket is intense!"

"The Feiyue Rocket is impressive!"

The audience and netizens, having witnessed the entire process of the Feiyue Rocket's ascent, were all excited, with many praising the technology of Feiyue Aerospace and Mist City Arts and Science University's Aerospace Academy as genuinely outstanding.

And this time, it was undeniably a rocket satellite launch, and the thrust of the hydrogen-oxygen engine technology, as well as its fuel efficiency, were now visibly proven to all.

What everyone eagerly anticipated next was, undoubtedly, the rocket recovery technology.

Once the rocket recovery technology successfully brings the rocket back for reuse, rocket launches would become significantly cheaper, greatly enhancing the efficiency of space rocket launches.

"Initiate rocket recovery procedures!"

"Commence rocket recovery!"

"Rocket separation!"

As command after command was issued from the command center, the Feiyue Rocket, now in outer space, triggered explosive bolts on its two booster rockets according to the instructions.

The two booster rockets officially detached and floated in outer space.

Since the rocket was already in outer space, and the boosters and satellites had separated, the viewers watching the livestream were at this time unaware of what had transpired.

However, news reports and some live footage from the command center indicated that the rocket separation process was underway at that very moment.

In outer space, the two booster rockets began adjusting their direction. The direction adjustments were carried out by the booster rockets' directional conversion systems. The rocket heads and rocket tails executed a complete 360-degree transformation, swapping positions.

The rocket heads faced Earth, while the rocket tails immediately performed a second ignition.
