In the reception area of the Wenchang Command Center, the shaking of the camera footage from the second stage tail of the CZ-18 rocket stopped.
Immediately after, the screen switched to a simulation animation, showing a curved dashed line connecting the combined body of Chapter 9 and the second-stage rocket with the Moon, indicating it had successfully entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit.
At this time, just over ten minutes had passed since the launch, which was nearly twice as fast as previous lunar probes.
Claire knew why, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the CZ-18 had been announced to be as high as 1.4, and at takeoff, it could gain acceleration through buoyancy and compressed gas, he estimated that the maximum thrust-to-weight ratio obtained at launch could even exceed 3.
