Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 462: The wizarding world begins to turmoil. Voldemort's breath holding time is up. The

As May approaches, the fog in Britain becomes thicker!

Muggle meteorological experts are a little too busy because the climate this year is a little too abnormal. Not only is there a lot of fog, but the temperature is also much lower than in previous years.

The bad weather made everyone lose interest in traveling.

The newspapers were full of dissatisfaction with the British government, but no one was marching in the streets. People were not even interested in marching.

The Muggle world is gloomy, and so is the wizarding world. The prosperous Diagon Alley now looks like a bankrupt village, and the dessert shop that was once crowded with people is now deserted.

The bone-chilling cold wind blew the scattered newspapers up into the sky, and the wanted posters on the newspapers almost filled the entire page.

"Diagon Alley nowadays is a wizarding street. I would have thought it was about to be demolished!" Tom said in Sainz's ear.

"Normal," Sainz said to him, "Volvo was so angry that he couldn't come to the school to stop me, so he could only vent his anger on his men. These guys were angry at Volvo, so they naturally acted crazier."

"How's it going in Gringotts?"

"Tsk!" Tom sneered. "Just as you expected, they insisted that Lestrange robbed himself without compensation. They agree with Skeeter's article very much."

"I heard Skeeter's house was smashed?"

"Yeah, but that guy is smart. I don't know where he has hidden himself."

"Don't worry about her, that woman is very smart. I stopped her last time, and this time she knows that she will offend the Death Eaters, so she will definitely hide.

Don't worry too much about Diagon Alley from now on."

"That's good. There's no one there right now."

"Pay more attention to the two Slytherin students to prevent them from doing harm to other students."

"They do often whisper to each other, but..."

"Just be careful in public places. We won't be in charge of anything once we get back to their common room."

"Do you need to pay special attention to the little Weasley girl?"

"It would be good to keep an eye on it more."

"Ok."

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't think it will be long after you've been busy for so long."

"You're still being polite to us. Let's go!"

…………

Saturday, May 5th, heavy fog.

Azkaban, the only wizarding prison in the UK, experienced the largest prisoner escape in history.

"Old Volvo has finally started to act!" Sainz thought to himself, "Not bad, it's worth it that Sainz prepared such a feast for you. It really made us wait for a long time."

Sunday, May 5, heavy fog.

Sainz was excited as he had finally waited for this day.

London time is 7 hours behind Beijing time.

In other words, five o'clock this afternoon is midnight tomorrow morning in the Far East.

The Dongfanghong-5 that Sai has been longing for will be launched at 12:00 on May 17, Beijing time!

"God really helped me. I didn't even have to miss anything after watching the satellite launch!"

He had to be there for the satellite launch, and he had originally wondered if he would need to take a leave or something, but when he looked at the calendar, he found out that he would be there on a Sunday afternoon in Britain. It couldn't be more perfect than this.

After lunch, while other professors went to Hogsmeade to digest their food, Sai quietly appeared at Xi Chang's home in the suburbs and drove to the satellite launch center.

It was already 9:00 p.m. when we arrived at the place, and we parked the car far away from the outskirts.

The more people there were, the more it was clear that Sainz was not the only one who came to watch the satellite launch. There were many people who shared the same idea as him.

The rocket has been transported to the launch pad. The launch pad, which is several dozen meters high, stretches out several strong arms like a giant to fix the huge rocket in its arms.

The Rockets are undergoing final refitting there.

The launch center has been placed under martial law, and all non-staff members have been isolated outside the base walls.

In fact, there are not many people outside the barbed wire. The best place to watch the rocket launch is not here, but on a hill not far away.

When the rocket's tail flame begins to spray, pushing the more than 200-ton giant straight into the sky, the romance of that moment is something that those who have not seen it with their own eyes can never imagine in their lifetime.

Sainz put on the flying mask and flew to the surface of the rocket like an invisible ghost, sensing his button at close range.

"Well, that's good. Nothing happened."

Of course, the satellite could not be directly exposed to the air. It was wrapped in the front end of the rocket. Sai's magic was still very reliable. The vibration generated by the staff when loading the satellite did not cause it to move.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a rocket up close. From the data, I only knew that the Long Range Rocket III was large, but I didn't expect it to be this big."

The rocket responsible for this launch mission is the Long March 52.5A, which has a design height of 1 meters, a diameter of the first and second stages of 2 meters, a diameter of the third stage rocket of 3.35 meters, and a take-off weight of approximately 3 tons!

Not everyone can send such a big thing into space!

Even in the 21st century, few countries can send a satellite into space, and sending a satellite into a synchronous orbit is even more difficult!

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was half an hour before the launch. The command from the control console came over the radio, "All personnel on the field begin to evacuate, all personnel on the field begin to evacuate!"

In the brightly lit launch center, all engineers and other ground crew members evacuated, and people left the rocket like ants.

Sainz was very obedient and followed the engineer to the control console as he was familiar with the route.

Sai stayed quietly in the control room without disturbing anyone.

May 5, 12:00, countdown fifteen minutes.

"Countdown fifteen minutes!" an order came from the command desk.

Feedback from various places came over the radio, "Countdown to fifteen minutes, all people on the ground have been evacuated! Over!"

"Countdown to fifteen minutes, the ignition system is normal! Over!"

"Countdown to fifteen minutes, the navigation system is all normal! Over!"

"Countdown to fifteen minutes, the communication system is all normal! Over!"

"Countdown to fifteen minutes..."

…………

"All departments report, countdown one minute!"

"One minute left..."

"Countdown to fifteen seconds!"

"Ten seconds countdown!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...three, two, one!"

"ignition!"

"ignition!"

"Ignition successful! The rocket begins to take off!"

The surroundings suddenly became silent, with only the beeping sounds of electronic equipment and the occasional clicking sounds of operators pressing the keyboard.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the large central control screen.

The rocket launch has reached the most critical time.

A few minutes or a minute?

"Rocket boosters begin to detach!"

……

"The first stage rocket begins to detach!"

……

"The second stage rocket begins to detach!"

……

……

"The third-stage rocket begins to detach!"

……

……

"Junk the fairing!"

"Solar panels are starting to deploy!"

No one spoke, everyone was waiting for that sentence.

"The satellite's attitude has been adjusted and it is entering the planned orbit!"

Wow!

Thunderous applause erupted from the scene!
