Chapter 308: Forward, Endeavor (I)

It's New Year's Day, it's the new year, and the city is full of brilliant neon lights and jubilant people. After the year-end meeting, Lin Feng asked people to charter a spacious hall in the best hotel and set up a large banquet with more than 100 tables.

The people who came were not only the person in charge of his industry, his family, but also the managers of various companies, the major agents in Rongcheng, and of course his relatives and friends.

Thousands of people gathered together, which was more lively than any wedding banquet.

Lin Feng sat in the middle of a group of fathers and villagers, and people kept coming to toast, and he replaced the wine with tea.

The banquet lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Feng and his mother went to wander on the street again, accompanied by Wu Lingshan and Hao Xiaoyun, and helped his mother buy a lot of clothes.

Now my mother also has a net worth of 15 billion, but it can be seen that she is not much interested in money. So Lin Feng decided to speed up the construction of the ancient city of Linjia Village, and then build a tunnel, go home every day, and spend a lot of time with her.

But Mom's focus is obviously not on this.

While choosing clothes, he said that Lin Feng should have a girlfriend, which made Wu Lingshan and Hao Xiaoyun laugh non-stop.

A few people walked around until late, went to the lake to watch the big fireworks, and returned home in the early hours of the morning.

Lin Feng told everyone to go to bed early, and they would go to test take the high-speed train early tomorrow morning. Knowing that he really got the quota, Wu Lingshan and Hao Xiaoyun cheered like children.

............

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Feng took his mother, Wu Lingshan and Hao Xiaoyun to the starting station of the high-speed train.

The above-ground building is still under construction, and there is a 20-meter-diameter semi-circular cavity underground, with a little simple decoration and an automatic elevator installed.

Through the temporary entrance, Lin Feng saw that the train was already surrounded by people, hundreds of security guards in uniforms were maintaining order, and many foreign reporters with photographers set up cameras and waited in front of a small stage.

Looking at the logos of those TV stations, Lin Feng felt that this time it was really the world's attention, and even CNN and BBC sent people.

I just don't know what kind of reports they will make in the West when they go back, after all, these two internationally renowned TV stations really don't have a good reputation in China.

There used to be a saying that people don't want CNN, and they don't want BBC to do things.

If the two of them dared to continue to smear this time, Lin Feng wouldn't mind seeing the injustice and roaring, making them suffer a little.

A blue and white train is quietly parked on the delicate tracks, and the front of the locomotive is spray-painted with dark blue paint with the three big characters "Endeavour".

The tunnel in front is lit up, and many light advertisements have been installed on the walls of the caves on both sides.

Protective doors have been installed around the train, and large red flowers have been hung, which is the rhythm of waiting for people to cut.

Lin Feng looked around and didn't see Sima Lili, not even Ma Gong, who came forward for an interview today was only a senior engineer under him.

Those who really contribute will always be hidden behind the scenes, which is the style of Chinese people since ancient times.

"This is the Endeavour with a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour?" Wu Lingshan blinked her big eyes, "It looks similar to the Fuxing!"

The appearance is similar, but the content is much worse.

Lin Feng didn't explain to her, and mixed in the crowd waiting to get on the bus.

Soon a group of people walked onto the small stage, first the representatives of the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee made brief speeches, and then the representatives of the Academy of Sciences were interviewed and asked questions by reporter Liu Gong.

"May I ask Liu Gong, when did the research and development of Endeavour begin, and why has the outside world not received any news before?"

This is obviously a Chinese reporter, to which Liu Gong's answer is: two years.

Although it is not true, if it is based on the actual situation, I am afraid that many people will think that it is a fantasy.

After several rounds of questions and answers, the foreign journalists finally got the opportunity to ask questions.

"May I ask Liu Gong, can this train really reach a high speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour? And its shell is so thin, can you provide protection for the safety of passengers?"

These questions are a little sharp, but Liu Gong obviously expected this situation for a long time: "We can experience the speed personally, and as for safety, if you feel uneasy, I can introduce you to the salesman of the insurance company." ”

"Many Western scientists think that you are doing this behind closed doors and do not conform to objective laws at all, what do you think about this?"

Liu Gong smiled and said: "That's right, we in Huaxia have a saying that we do things behind closed doors, but there is another sentence called self-contained, and I will give both of these sentences to Western scientists who have this view." It's a pity that they didn't come to the scene today, otherwise I could have sent him a lot of famous sayings, such as self-esteem, frog at the bottom of the well, and arrogance ......"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone thought that Liu Gong was simply too funny. It's rare to see a serious engineer make such fun of outside comments, which can also be seen that he is happy at this time and believes in the ability of the Endeavour.

At the end of the meaningless press conference, representatives of the provincial party committee, the municipal party committee and the Academy of Sciences cut the ribbon together, and then everyone rushed in.

Lin Feng followed the flow of people into the carriage and found that the originally empty carriage had been equipped with comfortable seats, arranged like the Harmony. However, there are only two seats on one side, and the carriage is obviously much wider, so the aisle appears to be very spacious.

Probably for the sake of standing people, after all, this will be intercity transportation from now on, and there are countless people coming and going every day.

"Dear passengers, this is the first test run of Endeavour, and the train is about to depart, please hurry up and find your seat and take your seat. ”

There are only 300 people in 8 cars, so empty spaces are everywhere. Some of the camera racks were in the aisles, pointed out the windows, probably to wait and shoot outside.

Lin Feng and his mother casually chose a place to sit down, surrounded by some ordinary citizens who were lucky enough to get on the bus, and everyone's mood was very high, pointing at the equipment in the car.

The CNN reporter who asked a more pointed question just now was also in this carriage, chattering in front of the camera. Lin Feng probably understood the meaning of his words, saying that he was here to experience Endeavour today, but he was not optimistic, and he sourly asked everyone to look forward to the result.

After saying this, he put on an excited expression again, saying that he was in an excited mood and looking forward to the performance of the Endeavour.

Ni Mei, are all reporters like this now, he actually made two preparations, no matter what the result is, he can send the news back to China as soon as possible.

Lin Feng felt that he had tarnished the term journalist.

"Dear passengers, Endeavour is about to start, please hold on to the handrails in the aisle. Next stop, Fucheng. ”

"It's moving!"

The citizens next to him looked at the advertisements outside the window and began to get a little excited.

"Yes, now the train has started, but I don't feel anything, and from the view outside the window, it looks like a snail is wriggling. CNN reporters said while looking out the window.

The other people around me felt the same way, including my mother, who felt that the speed of the train was slow. 10
