231 A Passing Age
June 2019.
This is not an ordinary month for Ning Xiao, because it means that he has been in the capital for three years after dropping out of Huaqing. If there had been no accident in his life in Huaqing, he should have graduated from Huaqing at this time, maybe he would have continued to study for graduate school, and it was more likely that he had already started working in a large factory and became a glorious social animal.
It's just that a magical kitten chose him out of 1.4 billion choices. As a result, he is now a winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, the Turing Award, the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the School of Engineering, the dean of the School of Space at Yanbei University of Space Exploration, and a doctoral supervisor in mathematics and physics.
Of course, Ning Xiao's titles are actually more than that. There are also various awards large and small, such as the Huaxia Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, XX Honorary Professor, but these titles Ning Xiao doesn't need to care too much. I never took it to heart. In fact, Ning Xiao didn't have much chance to show off these titles. Although, if he wanted to, he could listen to the moderators of various meetings repeat it three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
June 2019 was no ordinary month for everyone in and around the capital.
Because everyone can see a big guy floating in the air from a distance.
Really big guys.
In recent years, the air in the capital has been much better, there is less heavy haze, and the big guy can be seen dozens of kilometers away.
This also directly led to the fact that the large R&D base of Yanbei Sky Exploration University became much more lively.
Even the highway that goes straight to this side is starting to have traffic jams.
There was no way, there was a huge thing in the sky like a movie, and everyone would be curious and couldn't help but want to take a look.
Not to mention that this is an era when small videos have begun to exert their strength, and countless anchors who want to enter the new media industry are worried about where to gain traffic, and this big guy floating in the air has naturally become the most popular topic for traffic during this time, and it is natural to come and pat more.
There are more people, which naturally leads to the small business around the base.
What was once a deserted country street is now bustling with activity. There are those who sell chicken rolls, those who sell barbecue, crispy pancakes and fruits, cannabis flowers from Tianjin, all kinds of sugar gourds, and even the surrounding mother-in-law can support a stall with a few buckets of instant noodles bought in the supermarket and a bottle of boiling water, and the business is not bad.
So everyone used to laugh at themselves that it was a place where birds don't, but now it's lively from morning to night. Even in the early hours of the morning, the streets are as lively as the night markets in the south, because when the big thing in the sky shines, it is even more beautiful. Live streaming works best at this time.
Of course, the most important thing is that this big guy can arouse the pride of countless Chinese people.
Yes, when this big guy appeared, the official had already sent a message through various channels, although it was a little perfunctory and sloppy.
I just informed everyone that this thing is called Wu Gang, which is the first generation of spacecraft independently developed by the R&D base of Huaxia Space Exploration University, and its main structure uses a negative mass substance, so it has anti-gravity ability and can be suspended in the air. Because the underground R&D base no longer has so much space to complete the assembly, the final assembly link has to be completed in mid-air.
Of course, the enthusiasm of the people has already been foreseen. There are only two roads leading to the base in all directions, and these two roads are three kilometers away from the base, and emergency fences have been erected, plus there are not only people on duty every few hundred meters, but also loudspeakers constantly broadcasting the serious consequences of the break-in, which is enough to ensure that 99% of the people will only watch from outside the fence.
The remaining one percent, naturally, someone will go to educate well.
In fact, of course, there is no need for such trouble. For example, when the night is dark and the wind is high, find a way to consign all eight parts to a base in a deep mountain and old forest to assemble. However, if you do the math, it will not only cost more, but also the steps of transportation will be cumbersome. In addition, Ning Xiao felt that there was no need to do so many things, so it became the current situation.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem.
It's good to have this in Huaxia, as long as you pay enough attention to it, the safety problem is never too big a problem.
……
For the assembly of Wu Gang, the Space Academy changed its arrangements this year, temporarily advanced the final exam to the beginning of June, and after the exam, it was released early, and then it was kicked out of the campus. This meant that the summer vacation was extended, almost three months, but this did not surprise the children of the Space Academy.
Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
In fact, many students have a lot of complaints about the school's disrespectful way of driving people away. Especially on the third day of the holiday, after the eight components of the Wu Gang were officially lifted off and began to be assembled.
If they had chosen to stay at the school, they would have been able to see the largest mechanical engineering project ever built up close. Even for the children of the Space Academy, being able to watch and shoot this kind of grand occasion up close is something that can be bragged about for a lifetime.
But they were kicked out of the school...... Breath shivering cold.
These days, the various class groups and grade groups of the Space Academy are all kinds of complaints. There is no way, and now I can only express my dissatisfaction with the school in this way.
Of course, there are people who post this sentiment on the forum, but in that place the conversation changes, proper Versailles.
After all, if they can be admitted to the Space Academy in the past two years, they are definitely the top group of Chinese students.
The dividends that used to be able to get into the world's top universities with a score of 211 have disappeared most of them with the official renaming of Yanbei Sports University as Yanbei Space Exploration University. However, for many students with special talents in sports, there is actually a gap. After all, those sports majors before can't be said to be recruiting students right away.
It's just that it is said that the headquarters will transfer all the science and engineering departments to the base in an orderly manner, anyway, the place here is big enough, and it can continue to expand, and it is not too troublesome to build a few teaching buildings next to the huge underground laboratory and incorporate it into the campus. As for the land grant, don't make it easier, this is the card that the world's top universities should have.
Of course, none of this can offset the dissatisfaction of the students of the Space Academy.
But there are lucky ones.
For example, Chen Luo.
As a student who had already been decided by the dean, he was asked to stay on campus during the summer vacation when other students were ordered to hurry home.
When he first heard the news, Chen Luo was still slightly disappointed.
After all, for him, he has a very happy time after returning home every winter and summer vacation. Although most of the time is still spent gnawing on those complex knowledge, I can always find time to get together with my former classmates and friends, and then talk about what he saw and heard at the Space Academy, which is a feeling...... It's cool.
However, when the Wu Gang took off, this sentiment was gone.
Because he found something more interesting - complaining with everyone in the current group of classmates, this is really happy.
"Hey, I really envy you to be able to go home, you really don't know how painful it is to stay in school now, it's nothing, you dare to believe that you can't get the sun at all now, the sun is all covered in the daytime, and you feel like you're going to lack vitamin D! Every night when the lights are on, I can't sleep at all. I suspect that the green trees in the base will be confused by Wu Gang's schedule.
To add insult to injury, I was left behind, but I wasn't allowed to go through the passage to see how the thing was assembled up close. Dean Ning said that he would take me in to see the layout inside after the assembly was completed, dear students, can you understand my current torment?! ”
Really, when Chen Luo sent these words to the class group, he reaped a joy that he had never experienced in the academy for two years.
Almost all the classmates sent affectionate greetings, fortunately, everyone is a high-quality talent, for example, many people are begging to give him a full-body massage without dead ends, and some people want to have some super friendship with him, although everyone is of the same sex, and the few people of the opposite sex hope that he can go back from where he is numb.
Even the counselor with a very low sense of existence was excited, and directly named him in the group, if he was interacting with everyone enthusiastically like this, he would consider temporarily letting him enjoy VIP treatment in a group of people.
Well, after feeling everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Luo chose to take some photos of Wu Gang from a unique angle every day and send them to the group. Sure enough, he was even more popular this time. While greeting him warmly, his classmates also put forward more requirements for him, such as taking photos from a special angle, and some even sent him their photos privately, asking him to help put the people in the photos under the Wu Gang.
In short, Chen Luo had a lot of fun this time. And he has consulted, these photos can be taken and sent casually. Anyway, I can't manage it at all, there are people outside the base who are broadcasting live around the clock 24 hours a day, and they can't hide it anyway.
Fortunately, it's June, it's early summer, and the temperature is high enough, if it's winter, it will probably really freeze a lot of people.
But in fact, Chen Luo's complaints are also real problems.
At first, before the parts were officially closed, there was still a ray of sunlight coming out of the gap, and as the various parts of the Wu Gang began to close, it was really impossible for a ray of sunlight to penetrate it. Lights flickering all over the beneath the engineering base.
It doesn't look noticeable from the outside during the day, but it can still be seen clearly within the base.
However, what excites Chen Luo the most is that he can stand on the top floor of the laboratory building and hold a telescope to observe the countless N1 engineering robots busy at the junction of the Wu Gang.
These robots are either hoisted on the top of the tower, or work directly at the bottom of the inverted "suck" on the Wugang.
Just looking at it makes people feel their blood boiling.
Of course, every day when it was time to eat, when he ate with the scientists and engineers who participated in the Wu Gang project in the cafeteria, looking at their excited appearance and listening to their various problems made Chen Luo feel extremely excited and proud.
Although he hadn't seen Dean Ning since the holiday, and he didn't know why Dean Ning wanted him to stay, Chen Luo knew very well that he would soon become one of these people. At the very least, he firmly believes that he will be one of the first people to be able to board the spacecraft after Wu Gang officially opens.
Because this is what Dean Ning promised in SIS. Whenever he thought of this promise from his future mentor, Chen Luo couldn't help but grin extremely happily.
All you need to understand is a mobile phone with internet access.
God knows how many people are paying attention to this Wu Gang.
There used to be a saying that netizens don't remember more than seven days. This is probably the most long-lasting hot search that can last.
Generally speaking, a hot topic on the Internet can be maintained for three days and is already a very hot topic, but 99.99999% of the events will be cold after seven days, and it is difficult to set off a large-scale discussion. Unless a hot spot can be turned around after the fact, and there must be media willing to continue to follow the report.
But this time, Wu Gang's floating in the sky has occupied the relevant hot search list since the day it took off, from the first to the tenth, from the search engine to the short video, and then to the major forums, the circle of friends, the search index and the heated discussion of various topics have not come down at all.
The photos he sent to his classmates could cause heated discussions in any of them.
Even a photo of a robot from his hand to Wu Gang from a humble elevator has been reposted a million times on Weibo, and the number of views on the whole network is estimated to have exceeded more than one billion, and judging by the screenshots, it has also been transferred to the Internet, which is everywhere on Twitter and Facebook.
Although the photo was not posted by his account, and no one knew that it was taken by him, the epic sense of participation was enough to make people's hearts intense.
Chen Luo felt that the experience of the past few months alone was enough for him to brag for a lifetime, and Chen Luo didn't even dare to think about how many awesome things he could do in the future.
Sure enough, the most important thing to be a student is to follow the right instructor.
changed the mentor, even the former Professor Kane didn't have that much face.
In this way, Chen Luo was excited every day and fished until July. With the efforts of hundreds of engineers, as well as the lifting and lowering of many N1 robots without fatigue, the giant tower crane that fixed and connected Wu Gang finally began to be disassembled, which also means that the main fusion project of Wu Gang is basically completed, and it also means that the day of Wu Gang's official take-off is approaching.
……
On July 3, the Wugang tower crane was officially dismantled the next day.
Chen Luo got up from the single dormitory in the laboratory building at seven o'clock in the morning as usual.
Yes, although he was approved to stay in school, because the Space Academy has been closed, he actually lives in the experimental building these days. Fortunately, there are many buildings here, and it is easy to vacate a small suite for him.
This arrangement is very intimate, sleeping in the bedroom, and a desk is specially placed in the small living room outside as a study room, although Chen Luo has not actually focused on studying most of the time this month.
After a simple wash, Chen Luo rushed to the balcony of the living room, opened the window and looked up at Wu Gang outside the window.
With the help of robots, the efficiency is high, and the important fixed tower crane has been successfully dismantled.
This also made Chen Luo start to get excited again. The dismantling of the tower crane was completed, which meant that he was one step closer to being able to visit the Wu Gang up close with Dean Ning.
When he lowered his head in satisfaction, he suddenly became even more excited, because he saw that Academician Ning seemed to be downstairs, talking to the camera.
Wait, the person who interviewed him looks like a foreigner?
