[It’s over, A group failed, so there’s nothing worth watching for B group either.]
[It should be over. I came to see Miss Bier originally, and it turned out to be a bit disappointing.]
[By the way, I’ve never heard of anyone from B group!]
[The leader of B group is somewhat famous, Ying Zijin, the top scorer in this year’s entrance assessment for the Engineering Institute. However, there’s news that she was initially in A group but was chased out by Miss Bier.]
[Chased out??? Alright, I’m out of here. B group probably won’t even get off the ground.]
"Whiz," the number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly dropped by hundreds of thousands.
Over at the operation platform.
Mo Feng didn’t look very happy.
The whole internet knew Bier was his student, and that he personally trained her.
He was very confident about today’s test flight event as well.
To avoid conflicts of interest, he didn’t give any guidance to A group either.
But unexpectedly, such a big problem occurred.
Mo Feng frowned and, along with the staff, recalled the spaceship from outer space back to the ground.
Then he personally went outside the site to inspect.
Sure enough, there was a problem with the right wing.
The wing’s boom had already fractured, unable to maintain the gravity needed for the wing.
If it wasn’t recalled in time, the entire spaceship would break apart completely after some time.
Even the core power device showed signs of burning.
Mo Feng took a deep breath, and after handling this failed product, he left the launch site.
"Instructor Mo Feng," a staff member called out, "Are you not going to watch B group’s test flight?"
Mo Feng waved his hand, indifferently: "Not watching."
B group was originally just a backup team, there’s nothing interesting to see.
The staff also didn’t find it surprising. He sat in front of the operation platform and pressed another button.
"Boom——"
A rumbling sound rang out as B group’s spaceship began to ascend.
This was their first test flight.
Ye Siqing was a bit nervous, holding onto the girl’s hand.
Ying Zijin patted her shoulder, watching the big screen: "Don’t worry."
By this time, Mo Feng had already reached outside the launch site.
But suddenly, the crowd erupted in a burst of surprised cheers.
Mo Feng paused his steps, turned his head sharply, and immediately saw the large screen above the launch site.
The entirely silver spaceship was steadily flying in space.
Compared to A group, who exploded not long after taking off, it was a perfect product.
Given the prior failure of A group, such a stark contrast excited the online audience.
[It’s flying!]
[B group isn’t bad, who said it wouldn’t work?]
[To be honest, B group’s design looks very good.]
"Space jump, next is space jump!" The main reporter was so excited he couldn’t contain himself, "Everyone make sure to watch closely!"
The staff at the operation platform also didn’t expect B group’s test flight to be so smooth.
His hand shook a bit before pressing the second button.
The screen became fuzzy for a few minutes.
"Whoosh——"
A clear sound was transmitted back to the ground through instruments from outer space.
When the screen became clear again, the spaceship was already in another place. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It also carried camera-like equipment that could clearly photograph everything in space.
There were lights of different colors around, and many stars invisible to the naked eye on Earth.
The world was a deep blue, beautiful and magnificent.
This was the mysterious and vast Milky Way.
The instruments also displayed the distance in units of light years.
[26,000 light years]
This number, like a bomb, ignited the air, exploding among the crowd.
[Damn, amazing, they’re about to fly out of the Milky Way!]
[You all aren’t watching? I’ll watch first in tribute.]
[I declare that starting today, I’m changing idols. From now on, Miss Ying is my idol.]
Dean Norman researched the 30,000-light-year space jump over a decade ago.
The record in the City of the World is currently 66,000 light years.
But Ying Zijin, as a novice student, being able to achieve such a far distance in her first test flight, can only be described as a genius born for aerospace.
"Hey, Junior Sister Ying." Ye Siqing was slightly surprised, "I remember the core power device you made can perform a 30,000-light-year space jump."
The Milky Way’s diameter is 100,000 light years.
The Solar System is almost 30,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
So, a 30,000-light-year space jump would be enough to fly out of the Milky Way.
She clenched her fists, her face unsightly.
The core power device she created had no issues; it could definitely withstand a space jump of thirty thousand light years.
But due to the critical problem in the wing section overseen by Xu Jingshan, this result occurred.
Holding back her frustrations, Bier lowered her head: "Teacher, it’s my fault."
"It’s not your fault." Mo Feng frowned, "It’s your team members dragging you down."
Bier didn’t dare to reveal she replaced Ying Zijin with Xu Jingshan.
She was aware of the capabilities of Ye Siqing and others in B group.
Now that the experiment succeeded, the core credit must be Ying Zijin’s.
Thinking about this, Bier felt immense regret.
"Miss Bier!" Xu Jingshan hurriedly chased after her, "Miss Bier, it really can’t be blamed on me, I just—"
"No need to explain." Mo Feng interrupted Xu Jingshan indifferently, "Your individual mistake affected the entire experiment’s progress, all activities are suspended, remain in the institute for observation!"
Xu Jingshan panicked: "Instructor Mo Feng!"
A few days ago, Mo Feng had Ying Zijin stay for observation, Xu Jingshan gloated.
But when it happened to him, he couldn’t accept it at all.
Mo Feng, used to being authoritarian, didn’t listen to Xu Jingshan’s objections, comforted Bier: "Failure is the mother of success, you’ll definitely make it next time."
Bier nodded, shot Xu Jingshan a cold look, and left without turning back.
Xu Jingshan was chilled to the bone.
He didn’t have a nobility title, nor was he an S-grade researcher.
Mo Feng’s words sealed his fate.
Xu Jingshan’s head buzzed.
If he hadn’t left B group back then, would things be different now?
Xu Jingshan stared blankly at the spaceship on the big screen, an unprecedented wave of regret engulfing his heart.
Meanwhile, the teacher and student duo walking outside were soon surrounded by journalists who had already found them.
Mo Feng frowned: "What are you doing? She won’t accept any interviews."
But media is often unscrupulous everywhere.
They always seek a hot scoop.
The reporters ignored Mo Feng’s words, thrusting microphones forward, refusing to let Bier leave.
"Miss Bier, what do you have to say about today’s failure?"
"Miss Bier, it’s said Miss Ying was initially in A group and was expelled by you to B group, but B group succeeded instead, does this mean you misjudged?"
"Miss Bier, do you regret?"
