Chapter 159: Northwest Desert
In the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, the sky is blue, the earth is yellow, and there are no other colors to see here except blue and yellow.
There is a whirlwind in the desert, one by one, rolling up the yellow sand so high that it is like a big smoke rising from the flat ground, and it is running around the desert.
As dusk approached, the desert in front of me was golden, and countless wrinkles of sand and stones swelled like solidified waves, extending to the golden horizon in the distance.
Jiang Fan had never seen such a magnificent scene, so he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, took a picture through the car window, and prepared to send it to his girlfriend Chu Ruoxi!
Liu Tianhang, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said!
"You'll see this kind of scene often in the future!"
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, how did the Northwest Base choose to be built on the edge of the desert in the first place?" Jiang Fan asked a little puzzled!
"When the Northwest Base was first built, it was still more than 100 kilometers away from the desert, and the place under our feet is still a green meadow.
Over the years, the desert has continued to move south, and as of now, the desert is less than 20 kilometers away from the northwest base!
However, after the governance of the country, it has been much better, and desertification has been slowed down to a great extent! ”
Jiang Fan listened to Liu Tianhang's introduction, looked at the golden undulating sand dunes in the distance, and sighed in his heart at the magic of nature!
Lei Kun, who was sitting in the front co-pilot, said to Liu Tianhang!
"How long will it take for us to get there?"
"About a 30-minute drive!"
After a simple exchange, the interior of the car is quiet again, only the hum of the car engine!
Jiang Fan kept staring out of the car window until the golden sun went down and the whole sky began to turn gray!
The driver turned on the headlights, and Jiang Fan sparsely saw some trees appear in front of him!
"Just over the small slope ahead!"
Liu Tianhang said in his tone, obviously with a hint of excitement, maybe this time he brought back Jiang Fan, and the design drawings of the thousand-ton rocket thruster he designed!
His words gradually increased, and he chatted with Jiang Fan on some light-hearted topics!
As they spoke, they were soon at the place!
The doorpost of the northwest base is made of stone, and the shape is very old, so you can see its history!
When the two guards saw the license plate, they directly lifted the barbed wire barricade blocking the gate!
Then a military salute was given to the car!
The car passed through the gate and drove to the parking lot!
Jiang Fan got out of the car, and a dry breath came to his face!
Liu Tianhang didn't feel a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile!
"Jiang Fan, I'll take you to dinner first!"
Then they went to the cafeteria, which was very large and had many windows, to the cafeteria that looked a bit like a university!
After Jiang Fan and the others simply ate something, Liu Tianhang personally arranged a place for them to stay!
Jiang Fan looked at the time, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and it was still early before the time to go to bed!
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, can you take me to the research base?"
"Absolutely."
Liu Tianhang took Jiang Fan to the No. 1 research warehouse of Rocket Thruster!
From the outside, this warehouse is about the same size as the Kyoto Rocket Thruster Base, and there are quite a few such large warehouses in the entire Northwest Base.
When he followed Liu Tianhang into the No. 1 research warehouse, he found that experiments were being done here!
Then Liu Tianhang took Jiang Fan to the control room!
Control the room!
Ge Zhicheng, chief engineer of rocket thruster, sat in front of the console, staring at the home screen!
"Chief Engineer Ge, our 700-ton thruster design plan is not yet mature, wouldn't it be too risky to do experiments rashly?" One of the older researchers said!
Ge Zhicheng said politely, "Are you the chief engineer, or am I, I can say yes!" ”
The older researcher wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.
Now that their western base has not had major scientific research achievements for too long, everyone is a little impatient!
Just some time ago, the Kyoto Rocket Thruster Base, which started the latest, announced that it had developed a 500-ton rocket thruster!
This is not a small stimulus for them.
However, at least they can accept it.
After all, they both belong to the space agency of the Dragon Country, and although they have suffered some blows, they are still very happy in their hearts!
What made Ge Zhicheng unacceptable was that the beautiful country suddenly announced that it had developed a 700-ton rocket thruster, and the chief engineer was still a member of the Dragon Kingdom.
In particular, Bai Yanlang's remarks and contempt for the aerospace field of the Dragon Kingdom made him extremely angry!
He and some senior technical experts analyzed and studied the 500-ton thruster developed by Long Lao!
Then the scheme of the 700-ton thruster was designed!
After two days of development, it was decided to do an ignition experiment today!
After all, Ge Zhicheng once researched a 300-ton thruster, so he knew that if he wanted to quickly develop a 700-ton thruster, the only way to do experiments was to keep experimenting to find out and solve problems.
If the cycle continues, and all the problems are solved, they will be able to develop a 700-ton thruster!
Ge Zhicheng said to the scientific researchers of the sub-console!
"Report on the fuel?"
"The two fuel bunkers have been filled with 1000kg of liquid fuel, and they are ready for ignition experiments!"
"In a minute, get ready to ignite!"
At this time, Liu Tianhang walked in with Jiang Fan!
He also thought that Ge Zhicheng was doing a 500-ton thruster experiment, so he didn't stop it!
Because two days ago, he had already given him the design principle of Longlao's 500-ton thruster.
He also specially explained to him and asked him to take all the scientific researchers to study and research together!
However, Jiang Fan saw something different!
