Chapter 140: Rockets and satellites are all important
Wuling Hongguang drove into Changxi City with endless glory, and Lu Xian finally reduced his speed, hiding his merit and fame.
Shen Bing dialed Commander Gao's phone and told the other party where he was.
And then...... They couldn't do anything but wait where they were.
The efficiency of the other party was very high, and in a few minutes, an off-road vehicle with a military license plate appeared in front.
Through the window glass, Shen Bing could see that the people in the cab and the co-pilot on the opposite side were looking around, as if looking for something, and when their eyes were fixed on Shen Bing's Wuling Hongguang, the bewildered expression on their faces was very obvious.
The look in his eyes had betrayed them deeply: "What the hell, how is it Wuling Hongguang? But the license plate is this, there's nothing wrong!"
Although this result made it a little difficult for them to accept, but in fact, they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and they couldn't see the luxury cars that they had said before.
The co-pilot got out of the car and walked this way.
This is a young man in a military uniform, with the rank of lieutenant, with a hint of immaturity on his face, presumably just graduated from the military academy.
He stepped forward and knocked on the window.
Shen Bing opened the car door, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he asked directly, "Did Commander Gao ask you to pick us up?"
"Are you Mr. Shen Bingshen?" The young man in military uniform had a hint of surprise on his face, and the high commander only ordered them to come over and pick up the boss of Phantom Immortal Technology, who was said to be a billionaire.
He was already very stunned when he saw this Wuling Hongguang just now, and now when he saw that the other party was about the same age as himself, the young officer was even more surprised.
Originally, he, a high-achieving student who graduated from the National Defense University of Science and Technology, was still a little proud in his heart, but now compared to Shen Bing...... Forget it, it's still not comparable, it's too shocking.
Shen Bing nodded, and directly took out his ID card and handed it to the other party.
The young officer glanced at it, confirmed his identity, and said, "Mr. Shen, we will lead the way in front, and you will follow us." ”
Then the young officer returned to the car, and a non-commissioned officer next to him drove the car, followed by Wuling Hongguang.
The two cars went all the way north, and Shen Bing took advantage of the time to search on the Internet.
This direction should go to the Chauncee Satellite Launch Center.
It is also the largest spacecraft launch site in China that is open to the outside world.
"A secret spy satellite actually got an open launch site to launch, which is a typical Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang. Shen Bing muttered in his heart.
Dozens of kilometers of road, still high-speed, two cars arrived at the launch site in less than half an hour.
This is a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, the car drove into the valley mouth, stopped in a nearby parking lot, and the young officer led Shen Bing and the others towards the command and control center inside.
Along the way, Shen Bing also saw a lot of tourists, and through the words that occasionally popped out of these people's mouths, Shen Bing knew that these people were specifically watching the satellite launch.
It's just that what they have heard is that a meteorological satellite is going to be launched, and this kind of satellite Huaxia has to get one or two satellites into the sky every year, which is not unusual.
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter what satellites they send, what they see is just the excitement of the moment of ignition and launch.
It is impossible to launch two rockets here in the same day, so the so-called launch of the meteorological satellite is probably just a gimmick, and the real launch should be the spy satellite.
Naturally, these tourists don't know this, and in a way, they are all a kind of humanoid background, which is used to cover up the truth about the satellite launch.
In the distance, a towering rocket has been fixed on the launch tower, and a large number of crews are busy around, making final checks and other preparations.
Shen Bing wanted to say if he could go over and take a look, but it was estimated that this young officer would not be able to call the shots, so he had to keep this idea in his heart for the time being, and wait to see Commander Gao after a while to see if there was a chance.
The parking lot was not very far from the command and control center, and after a few minutes, they entered the gate of the control center.
There are two soldiers with guns standing at the door like sculptures, which is probably the standard configuration of the launch center, after all, whether it is launching ordinary commercial satellites or military satellites, it is of great significance to the country, and it is not surprising that there are soldiers on duty at the scene.
Several people took the elevator to the upper floor, and when they got out of the elevator, Shen Bing saw a square hall, and in front of it was a huge glass curtain wall, through which the launch tower not far in front could be clearly seen.
"Meow! This distance, you can do it!" Shen Bing glanced at it, he had a number in his heart, and his mind moved, and the eyes of Lu Xian who followed him became a little ethereal.
At this time, the people who were sitting or standing in the control center all saw Shen Bing and a few people coming in, and they were not surprised that a few strangers suddenly came in at this time.
Commander Gao was also in this group, and when he saw Shen Bing coming, he immediately greeted him.
"Shen Bing, you're pretty fast!" Commander Gao quipped with a rare ease.
"I've been speeding all the way! If there's a ticket when I get back, Commander Gao, you'll have to deal with it for me. "Who wouldn't tease him, Shen Bing came easily.
Commander Gao smiled, ignored these words, led Shen Bing to the floor-to-ceiling window, and introduced him to several people, including the person in charge of the launch base, and the chief engineer of rocket manufacturing, Professor Zhang was also here.
If it is an ordinary satellite launch, these heads and brains cannot all be here, but this satellite is very important, and the above is also very concerned, they naturally all have to come to the town, and there can be no mistakes at this time.
"Shen Bing, look at that rocket, what do you think?" Commander Gao had a proud smile on his face.
Shen Bing wanted to follow the other party's meaning and say, "The country is very strong!" But when the words came to his lips, he held back again.
"I think it's still in the early stages of the space industry to launch a spacecraft with this kind of disposable prop. When I get a spaceship that can actually take off and land from the earth, I think it's very good. ”
In particular, all of us here are experts in the aerospace field in China, so isn't it a slap in the face to say this?
However, none of these experts expressed dissatisfaction, including Chief Engineer Li, who was described by Shen Bing as the chief engineer of rocket manufacturing in the initial stage, who was also fascinated: "What Mr. Shen said is right! A spacecraft that can fly freely into space is the ultimate goal of our astronauts' struggle." Although this goal is far away, I believe that as long as we work hard from generation to generation, we can always achieve it. ”
Several people around also nodded.
Only the high commander has a beep dog expression, this girl does not follow the routine from the card!
Forget it, don't see this kid in general!
"Commander Gao, didn't you call me here just to see the satellite launch scene?" said Shen Bing with a smile.
Commander Gao glared at him and said, "You kid is even better than a ghost!"
After speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "There are still two hours before the satellite launch, and I didn't expect you to come so quickly." But this is also normal, as long as your kid's luxury car, racing for more than two hundred on the highway is as simple as drinking water. ”
Everyone else around me had expressions that I didn't hear, and you said that you, a senior military officer, instigated others to speed in front of so many people, is it really good?
However, the lieutenant officer who came in with Shen Bing looked constipated, a luxury car, I have never seen such a luxury car! Wuling Hongguang, I asked if you are afraid......
Commander Gao naturally didn't know this, but he also discovered his speech problem, and then said: "But you kid have to take it easy, it's not right to speed." On the one hand, it is naturally because this satellite also has your credit, and it is normal for you to come and observe it. On the other hand, someone wants to meet you, but you're a little early, and the other party hasn't arrived yet, so you should wait. ”
Shen Bing was slightly stunned, although he was extremely smart, he didn't expect this to happen.
Before, he thought that the other party was worried that there would be some accidents during the launch, so he asked himself to come to the town.
Who wants to see him? He even fooled himself into going to the Changxi Satellite Launch Base? Wouldn't he just go directly to Rongcheng to find himself?
These are just Shen Bing's inner thoughts, even if no one wants to see him, he will also come over when he hears Commander Gao's greeting.
Satellites, rockets! are all very important.
That's right, there's nothing wrong with that.
Shen Bing's arrival was just a small episode, and after a few small talks, Chief Engineer Li and others began to get busy again, commanding the personnel in front to still conduct meticulous inspections of the equipment.
As time went on, everything was ready and everyone began to feel a little nervous.
This tension is inevitable with every rocket launch, and in the final analysis, the work is a complete one-shot deal, and the launch will either succeed or fail, and once it fails, the loss will be complete.
The feeling of one step to heaven and one step to hell is indeed exciting.
Finally, the crews reported through encrypted walkie-talkies that everything was ready, and there were only ten minutes left before the pre-set launch time.
At this moment, the door of the control center was pushed open, and an old man who did not look to be more than fifty years old walked in first.
Except for Commander Gao's calm expression, the rest of the people all showed shock, and looked at the visitors one by one dumbfounded.
The scene was silent for a few seconds, and I don't know who took the lead, and the center burst into warm applause.
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Everyone, I didn't bother you when I came uninvited, right?"
Zhou Shaojun, the person in charge of the launch center, was the first to wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a military salute, saying: "Chief, if you want to come over, you should also tell the people below us in advance, you see that we have not prepared anything here, and the security measures are not in place, in case of ......."
Zhou Shaojun is a major general who has served as the director of the launch center for many years, and he has seen many big scenes, but this is the first time he has encountered such a sudden attack as today.
The old man smiled faintly and said, "Director Zhou, I also decided to come over to take a look at it temporarily. But you don't have to worry about security, you really came here to watch the excitement when you were the high commander?"
Zhou Shaojun glanced back at Commander Gao, and his little eyes were aggrieved!
You know that the chief came over and said earlier, don't bring such a pit teammate, right?
