Chapter 469: The Space Race Begins! Ecstasy!
Mangmang Gobi, as far as the eye can see.
In the early hours of the morning, with the fish white in the east, the cold wind in the Gobi Desert that had been chilling all night finally gradually converged, and the terrible wind blew on Luo Jia's cheeks, like a sharp knife, painful, at this time it was only early autumn in September, and when winter came, the Gobi climate would become even worse.
However, the people who had not slept all night were in a state of extreme excitement, and Luo Jia could be seen at the scene, An Ran and Li Moran, the heads of major departments, the little geniuses of Xingchen University, and even the oldest scientist in the company, the nearly ninety-year-old old man Lu Chengfeng of the Optics Department, who was also accompanied by his family.
As for the representative of the biggest name of the national team, it belongs to the general, according to the reason, Xingchen Technology is a private company, and the military should take the initiative to avoid suspicion, but in the face of an extraordinary start like Genesis, where can the general calm down, so he came to Jiuquan with his secretary Lu Junlin.
All in all, at this moment, the Xingchen Technology Private Space Launch Center gathers all the people who care about and participate in the space program, and everyone is looking forward to the moment when history will be made.
"To be able to have a company like Xingchen Technology is really a blessing for our Chinese nation." The general said seriously: "Otherwise, I don't know how many years it will take for us to get to this point." β
Luo Jia shrugged, "Look at what your old man said, about space, even if there is no us, the national team will be the first in the world sooner or later." β
The general smiled and asked, "You seem to be very confident in the national team?" β
"That's a must." Luo Jia said while recalling: "Let me take a look at the history of the development of space programs around the world, and you will understand why I am full of confidence in our Chinese nation." β
"On April 12, 1961, the Soviet Union launched the world's first manned spacecraft, Vostok I, followed by May 5, not to be outdone, North America was not far behind, and the first manned spacecraft, Mercury, entered suborbit."
"People's manned spacecraft are all in space, and what are we doing at that time?"
"In 1961, the national team approved the [Report on the Emergency Arrangement of the Production of Daily Industrial Products] to alleviate the difficult situation of the shortage of daily necessities.
Ay~
There were many people present who had experienced that era, Luo Jia's words made them deeply touched and sighed, poverty is a disease, deep in the bone marrow, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced hunger to understand what it is like.
After a pause, Luo Jia's voice suddenly accelerated, and his tone became more intense.
"In 1986, the main body of the Soviet Mir space station was launched, the Salyut 7 space station stopped manned flights, the North American space shuttle Challenger exploded after liftoff, and seven astronauts died in Xinghai."
"In the same year, China launched a practical communication and broadcasting satellite, satellite communication technology has just entered the practical stage from the experimental stage, and we are still very far away from space."
"Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 1992, the year that the American space shuttle Endeavour was launched for the first time."
"In the same year, my country formulated a three-step plan for manned spaceflight, sounding the clarion call for a Jedi counterattack in the aerospace field!"
"In 1994, the International Space Station began the first phase of the construction plan, and in the same year, they rejected China's application to join the construction of the International Space Station.
"In 1996, the Mir space station was successfully launched, and China's Long March-3 carrier rocket had a serious accident, and in 1996, 33 countries signed the Wassenaar Agreement, restricting the export of high-tech products to China, and the aerospace industry suffered another heavy blow, almost never recovered."
"However, the sky has eyes, and the major crisis in the aerospace field in the last century has been survived by us!"
"In 1999, the Mir space station was decommissioned."
"In the same year, my country successfully launched the Shenzhou-1 unmanned spacecraft!"
"In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia crashed, and NASA grounded all space shuttles."
"In the same year, China's first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou 5, was successfully launched!"
"In 2005, the insulation of the Space Shuttle Discovery fell off during liftoff, NASA grounded all space shuttles again, and the construction of the International Space Station was delayed again."
"In the same year, my country's second manned spacecraft, Shenzhou 6, was successfully launched!"
"In 2011, the International Space Station was assembled, and in the same year, the North American Congress passed the Wolf Clause, prohibiting NASA and aviation companies that have a contractual relationship with NASA from cooperating with our country.
"However, time will tell, and in 2016, Russia's Progress cargo spacecraft failed to launch, and two months later, the North American Dragon cargo spacecraft also failed to launch, and the ISS suffered serious problems with resupply."
In the same year, the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft and Tiangong-2 were successfully automated! At the end of the year, the final assembly of the core part of China's space station was completed! History was made in one fell swoop! β
"In 2017, North America went against the norm and invited our country to join the International Space Station."
"In the same year, the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft successfully docked!"
"On May 28, 2018, China officially opened the international cooperation of the Huaxia space station, inviting all countries in the world to actively participate in the use of the Huaxia Tiangong space station to carry out experiments inside and outside the cabin."
"In the same year, according to an in-depth report by the German Bild newspaper, the European Space Agency is organizing astronauts to quietly learn Chinese."
"What do you mean by Jedi Strikes Back?"
"This is!"
"From the West putting satellites and we starving up, to today we have become one of the biggest players in the space field, from the West's refusal to allow us to join the International Space Station, to their desire to learn Chinese in order to hitchhike us, all this is time to give the most powerful answer!"
"You ask me why I have confidence in the national team?"
"To be honest, I actually have full confidence in my own nation!" Luo Jia raised his right arm and shouted: "As the only civilization in the world that has continued from ancient times to the present and has never been broken, the Chinese nation is awesome!" β
Listening to Luo Jia's words, the crowd unexpectedly boiled, and the nervousness of waiting for the launch to start turned into infinite confidence, and the corners of many people's eyes were faintly moist.
"Luo Jia is such a person, and the leadership temperament inadvertently revealed is enough to make the smartest scientists in the world willing to take the lead for him."
The general said with shining eyes, he looked at Luo Jia who raised his arms and shouted, as if he saw himself when he was young, with a lot of enthusiasm in his wisdom, so happy in life, it was not in vain to go through this world.
"Luo Jia likes to read history very much." Lu Junlin, the general's secretary, said: "Sometimes I really doubt what kind of head he has, even if he looks at history, he can still recite it backwards, and he remembers everything clearly about a certain year, month, and day, and what happened." β
The general shook his head slightly, "In my opinion, Luo Jia's most powerful ability is not to remember history, but to use history as a mirror, and try his best to avoid the mistakes made by his predecessors. β
"All the research projects of Xingchen Technology can be connected from front to back, Xingchen University guides young people in the right direction, these are the overall situation, Luo Jia is not a nouveau riche, but the true inheritor of Chinese civilization, the one who inherited the will of our ancestors."
Lu Junlin was stunned suddenly, he never thought that the general's level of Luo Jia would be so high, the inheritor of Chinese civilization, the one who would eventually inherit the will of his ancestors?
In fact, Lu Junlin and the general still underestimated Luo Jia, he not only inherited the will of his ancestors, but also the inheritor of the golden dome.
Looking around, Lu Junlin saw the representatives sent by the other generals, although it was inconvenient for them to be present, but by sending their cronies, they clearly stated their position, showing the unshakable transcendent status of Xingchen Technology in the eyes of the military.
"Report, the wind is stabilizing!"
"As we predicted, after the sun comes out, the humidity drops rapidly, and the launch environment tends to be perfect!"
"The fourth inspection of the inspection team is over, and you can enter the launch procedure!"
"The fuel injection is complete and ready to ignite!"
In the command center, various data kept coming, and everything showed that this morning was the best time to launch.
This launch center, which was originally a backup launch site for the Jiuquan Center of the national team, has now been bought by Xingchen Technology and improved to become Luo Jia's private property, and in return, the national team, especially the military, will secretly benefit from the space program.
At 10:05 in the morning, Luo Jia walked to the front desk with a smile as usual on her face in the expectant eyes of everyone.
The straight shirt outlines his near-perfect figure, slightly thin, but muscular, Luo Jia, the world's best diamond king, is still quite handsome, which should attract countless female viewers in front of the TV to burst their hormones.
"I pressed the button, but I didn't look back." Luo Jia said with a smile: "As far as I know, far across the Pacific Ocean, North America, Florida, Cape Canaveral, our old friend Musk has prepared a big surprise. β
"As long as our star is launched with a heavy load, Musk will immediately return the color, and his Super Falcon is also ready to go, and the launch capsule is full of high-precision communication satellites used to build the Starlink program."
"Although the paths are different, we chose to build a large synchronous space station, and Mr. Musk decided to build a global Star Alliance network, but no matter who succeeds me or Musk, it is a great progress for all mankind! Here, on behalf of myself, I wish Mr. Musk all the best! β
In the face of countless cameras, Luo Jia showed great grace and publicly wished his opponent success.
At this moment, Musk is in his base, gearing up, preparing to hit Luo Jia, as long as Xingchen Technology launches a rocket, North America will immediately launch a bigger one.
Even Russia and Europe are ready to move, Huaxia is very lonely, the whole world does not want Huaxia to gain control of space, walking on this road to the sea of stars, Huaxia is destined to fight the whole world alone.
"It's worthy of Mr. Luo, there is really no one with this demeanor."
"Musk, did you see that? Luo Jia is not afraid at all, your little calculation, Luo always knows it! β
"Ah!! Luo Jia is so handsome! I really want to give him a little monkey! A girl shouted with her eyes shining in the face of the live broadcast.
Under the watchful eye, Luo Jia paused, his smile gradually retracted, and turned serious.
"It's a pity." Luo Jia said: "Although Mr. Musk and I cherish each other, and his plan to colonize Mars is also my dream in this life, we are both scientists, although science has no borders, scientists have their own homeland, and we will start today to fight for our respective hometowns!" β
"After all, although the solar system is vast, there can only be one master!"
Speaking of this, Luo Jia's arm suddenly raised, like a sharp knife, and fell without hesitation.
In an instant, the breathing of the whole world stopped, and even time paused, and under the gaze of countless people, Luo Jia's palm slammed into the red button.
