If you want to see the whole ship, it will obviously take too long, maybe two or three days will not be enough. But if you only visit a few important places, such as just confined to these floors of the control tower, it will not take much time, and an hour is enough.

Although the staff on the ground said that the observation deck at the bottom of the Wu Gang is the best place to enjoy the view of space. But in fact, the introduction is impertinent. Because the best place to really see the scenery is definitely inside the conning tower.

The observation deck of the command tower on the lowest level is truly 360-degree transparent when activated. It is also the area where the gravity device is the first to be affected, and when you are in it, you will really feel the strange feeling of walking in the depths of space. When circumnavigating the earth, you can overlook the entire planet as long as you lower your head slightly.

Of course, this is not to say that the entire command tower observation deck is made of transparent materials. For example, the design of the upper part of the building is actually a special material that can holographically simulate the real-time scene transmitted through the camera device. And most of the time the transparent area underneath it is also enclosed.

Regardless, for those who are aboard this giant ship for the first time, many of the small details are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Especially in this case, people can often feel the sense of power brought by technology more intuitively.

The steam from the boiling water that year propelled the wheels of human civilization to begin to accelerate.

Today, under the action of the earth's gravity, a space-class exploration ship is about to slowly rise, and under the witness of billions of people in the world, it will slowly enter space through non-fossil energy methods, completing the largest space manned sightseeing activity in human history.

This probably also represents that the development of human civilization has officially entered the era of the speed of light. No one could have imagined that in the 21st century, the fourth scientific and technological revolution of mankind will start with artificial intelligence and reach its peak in the field of space exploration technology.

Of course, these people probably didn't even think that the peak they thought was far from coming.

……

For a large thing that has been suspended above the base for a whole month and a half, it will definitely not fall silent because of the strict management around it. In fact, when the whole network began to publicize that Wu Gang was about to take off, even though it had already been informed that the launch ceremony would be held inside Wu Gang, all the squares suitable for viewing the ceremony in a radius of more than ten square kilometers near the entire base had already been covered, and many squares set up temporary viewing platforms so that more people could participate in this grand ceremony.

Not only the observation deck, but even some squares are directly on the big screen, not only can you watch the Wu Gang launch on the spot, but also see many details from the perspective of the big screen in the square.

In addition, the rooftops of some buildings have also been completely enclosed, and after safety measures are in place, they are open for viewing. Many units directly regarded this participation in the Wu Gang launch ceremony as a team building of the unit, requiring everyone to participate. After all, the heads of many units were invited to board the Wu Gang directly.

The vast majority of these ceremonies are officially organized, accounting for about 90 percent.

But when it is profitable, it is natural that the participation of the social side is also indispensable.

The entire base was originally built in the suburbs around the capital, and the volume of the Wu Gang was already huge, even if it was not so suitable for viewing, in fact, you could see what Wu Gang looked like when it was officially launched.

Therefore, before the Wu Gang was about to take off, not only was the surrounding square already filled with surging crowds, but also many people who didn't like crowds so much simply had a picnic in a place near the base with good scenery and not much shelter.

Anyway, the Wu Gang is so high, and even the small spacecraft can be seen going up and down from time to time, which is also an excellent experience.

Not to mention that when it is not so crowded, you can also take your mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of the on-site reporters, watch the Wu Gang launch up close, and quietly follow the camera to watch the various facilities inside the Wu Gang, which is more enjoyable.

In short, the people in the base probably don't feel much, but for ordinary Chinese people outside the base, today is tantamount to a holiday.

Even if the person is not in the capital, there is no condition to rush into the city, and at this time, he probably stayed in front of the TV early. Although today is a Thursday and a working day, today has attracted more attention than ordinary holidays. The reason is also very simple, all units across the country have been notified that they will have a day off today, and there is no need to take a holiday.

This holiday can be said to be the expectation of everyone.

After all, the heat caused by the assembly of Wu Gang was extremely high before, not to mention that there was a grand ceremony in this liftoff. Even without this ceremony, it has aroused the interest of countless people. Of course, many students who don't like to express themselves are excepted, because although the school is also on holiday this time, they are also required by the teachers to write a reflection after watching the Wu Gang take off.

Of course, after participating in such a monumental ceremony, it is absolutely appropriate to write a reflection in the teacher's opinion, not to mention that an 800-word essay is much simpler than the essay required by some clerical positions.

In short, there are many blessings in all aspects. At least in the whole of China, today has become a very special day. A day of national pride. Although the ceremony has not officially begun, many celebrations have already begun in various places.

Even today, there are many fewer voices of yin and yang under various topics on the Internet. Everyone was expecting, some were expecting a perfect result, some were expecting possible accidents, but there was no doubt that at this time, countless eyes were focused on this ship that was about to take off.

For many, the ship represents hope, but for others, it is despair.

……

"Mr. Dupontle, this is a nice vantage point, isn't it?"

Although the old man hated and even hated the man in front of him, when Nethan Mountbatten took the initiative to come over, he couldn't just walk away.

It's not that Nissen Mountbatten now has a position to compete with him, in fact, at least in Washington, Nissen Mountbatten's influence is still not as good as his little finger.

But this is in China after all, on the spaceship of the Wu Gang.

Even in their hometown, the old man had to admit that Nissen Mountbatten's influence was gradually rising. Maybe it won't be long before he can challenge his position. This old man in the West is no stranger to this situation.

As long as a vicious dog follows the right owner, no matter how annoying it is, few people are willing to provoke it, and may even look at the dog differently because of this, but of course this is not because he is afraid of the dog.

So he will give Nissen Mountbatten basic respect, but this respect is not for Nissen Mountbatten.

This sentence may be very difficult to say, but as long as you bring in the mentality of a noble old man, it is easy to understand. Nethan Mountbatten is a dog, and he respects the man who holds the leash.

But the dog was right, it was a good vantage point.

If you look down, you can see through the transparent glass a complete and clear picture of the crowd below like ants lining up to board the Longxiang spaceship, which will give people a sense of intoxication that everything is under control.

The only pity is that he probably didn't have much chance to board this giant ship that represents the future.

"Yes, it's a nice place, but unfortunately this ship is not our masterpiece, do you feel sorry for it? Neeson? ”

The old man replied vigorously, and when the words fell, he withdrew his gaze from looking down and glanced at the man beside him. Apparently he wanted to see a look of shame on Nissen Mountbatten's face, but he was disappointed.

Neeson Mountbatten looked at him with a clear gaze, no shame or regret.

"No, no, Mr. Dupontle, I don't agree with your statement, because your thinking is too narrow. If you look at it from the point of view of all mankind, this ship is a great masterpiece of human civilization and it will open a new era. ”

The old man looked at Neeson Mountbatten silently, then lowered his head again.

It was one of eight observation decks that had just been recommended by the staff, and each with a limited number of people, with only twelve seats in the back row, and he couldn't quite understand why Neeson Mountbatten had to follow him to say something that was obviously not pleasant.

This should not be a provocation, and the old man does not want it to be a provocation.

Fortunately, Nison Mountbatten didn't expect the old man to give him a good face, let alone agree with his opinion, but just said to himself: "Believe it or not, Monsieur Dupontle, I have no intention of challenging your authority now and in the future, and I have no intention of continuing to exhaust my life in this place where I can see my head down."

Now I like to look up at the starry sky every clear night, because I believe that in the near future, there will be a place for me. Of course, I don't mean to go to God, but to conquer it. Think about it, even if there are hundreds of thousands of mining stars in our solar system, waiting to be discovered.

At this time, here, almost all the preparations have been made here, the spacecraft that can travel the solar system, the robots that can work hard and adapt to all kinds of harsh environments, maybe the buildings under our feet and the laboratories under the buildings have begun to study various technologies for planet exploration and collection. In fact, the courses taught at the Space Academy are not classified information.

So let go of all your reservations and grievances, and work with you, Mr. Dupontle, not just with me, of course, but with our future. Space mining tycoon? Space conqueror? Do you have a favorite title? ”

This time the old man completely withdrew his gaze, and his gaze began to darken as he watched Neeson Mountbatten. The man in front of him should change his surname to Nison Doug.

"Neeson, you've got some promises, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Dupontle, there is no need for any commitment, I just see it better than many people. Don't you understand his pursuit? Of course, you don't have to rush to make a decision, we can wait until after this lift-off ceremony, so that we can really look down on the earth from this angle, and it will be a pleasing thing to the eye, you say? ”
