"It turns out that their development in the field of aerospace has reached such an extent, which is really amazing!" In the command hall of the Kendini Launch Center, Tebrank, who had watched the entire rescue process, had a complicated face, and did not hide his admiration in his heart.

Previously, he was the Chief Technology Officer of SpaceX, where he developed Starship to a global leading level.

There is no doubt that he has his own pride.

Firmly believe that their company's aerospace technology has stood at the top of the aerospace field.

That's why when Xu Yun and them started the lunar base project, he felt that it was impossible to complete.

After all, even their space exploration technology company is not sure to do it, let alone the space agency that is still developing research.

It can be said that failure is already inevitable.

However, in the end, things turned out completely differently than he expected.

Xu Yun's aerospace office not only overcame layers of difficulties, but also completed the plan to build a lunar base, and successfully sent three astronauts to live on the moon.

Let human civilization take another step forward in the exploration of space.

The impact is impossible to estimate.

Look at them.

There were so many things that happened just by restarting the moon landing, and finally the failure of the lunar lander, leaving two astronauts stranded on the moon and relying on others for assistance.

In particular, after watching the rescue process, we further saw the gap between the two sides in the development of technology in the aerospace field.

Only then did he realize how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

Just one lunar rover is so advanced, not to mention other important spacecraft.

And when these thoughts came to his mind, he even felt that human development of the lunar resources would not be too far away.

Meanwhile.

Musk next to him was also relieved.

So this time I lost people all over the world, at least the lives of two astronauts were guaranteed.

"This matter has finally come to an end for the time being, and the absence of human losses is not particularly bad."

He sighed to himself, and then he turned his gaze to Nibison, the head of the Aeronautics and Space Administration beside him.

He naturally knew that Nibison's mood was not much better at the moment, so he chose to take the initiative to talk after a little hesitation.

He coughed tactically and asked, "Now that our astronauts have stayed at the other side's moon base, Chief Nibison, I wonder what we need to do next?" After speaking, he stopped saying words and patiently waited for the other party's answer.

The news of the lander's accident was not only announced to the world, but the entire rescue process was broadcast live around the world.

It was like a slap in the face.

It can be said that the face of the aerospace agency has been disgraced, causing a bad impact.

If nothing else, it is very likely that it will be difficult for him, the person in charge, to continue to work.

After all, he didn't do a good job about space-based weapons.

Forced herself into this situation, it would be weird if she could be in a good mood.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has a fire in his stomach now.

But I can't vent it yet.

He had to take a big breath of air and force himself to calm down.

When I felt a little better, I turned my face.

"What else can I do?"

"Hurry up and launch new ships to bring our guys back." Nibison was very unhappy with Musk, and at the end he didn't forget to add: "In addition, the rescue fee will be settled for them as soon as possible." ”

When he mentioned this, he couldn't wait to scold people in his heart, obviously the rescue had just ended, and he was in a hurry to ask for the rescue fee, was he afraid that such a big aerospace agency would not be able to repay the bill.

But whoever let the two astronauts stay in each other's bases can only do as requested.

Otherwise, if you make a big fuss about this matter and let the outside world know, I'm afraid that there will be no room for recovery in the image.

As for launching the spacecraft as soon as possible to bring the two astronauts back, he was also afraid that Xu Yun would open his mouth when the lion spoke.

It's all money to live in someone's base for one more day!

Musk naturally has no opinion on Nibison's words.

This cooperation between the two sides has made the situation like this, and he also wants to end this cooperation as soon as possible, and has decided that he will not cooperate with the official from now on.

In the future, the focus of their company will still be on the starship, and whether Xu Yun joins or not, he will continue to fight to realize his dream of a Martian community.

"We'll arrange a second launch as soon as possible."

"There will be no surprises this time."

"I hope so." Nibison glanced up at the sound, then dropped the sentence and walked outside.

The astronaut's business is over, but he needs to make a detailed report to the Commander-General.

As for whether he can keep his position, it is even more unknown.

……

……

Half a month has passed since the NASA lander accident, during which a new spacecraft was launched again and landed in the area near the lunar base.

Successfully brought two astronauts back to the ground from the moon.

This also announced that the incident had come to an end, and the aerospace industry had become calm.

It is worth mentioning that the Aeronautics and Space Administration did not mention the moon landing again.

It seems to be an intention to abandon the moon altogether.

Set the target on Mars.

As for the three astronauts including Nie Shengdong in the Yuegong-1 base, they need to continue to live in the base for two and a half months.

During this period, various scientific experiments and explorations will be completed.

At the same time, Xu Yun also had a new arrangement here, ready to rest and give himself a vacation.

Spend time with your family.

From the development of quantum computers after the composition of the fourth generation to the completion of the construction of the moon base, it can be said that he spent most of his time on work for such a long time in between.

Compared to before, the time spent with the family is significantly reduced.

In addition, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the moon landing this month, he was absent from his daughter's birthday.

Anyway, at this stage, the aerospace industry has entered a stable period, and in the future, it can only be further explored on the basis of the lunar base.

There is still a long way to go before the development of lunar resources can be realized.

Of course, before returning to Jingzhou City, he did not forget to say goodbye to Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng.

——

"To tell you from the heart, I really can't bear to let you go."

After Zhou Mingwei of the Aerospace Office learned the news that Xu Yun was leaving, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Before Xu Yun participated in the manned space project, they were still working hard for a manned landing on the moon, and they still faced many unsolved technical problems.

But with Xu Yun joining, everything is not a problem.

Not only was the latest generation of lunar rovers quickly developed, but also a feasible plan for building a lunar base was designed.

As a result, the aerospace project directly skipped the manned landing on the moon and completed the construction of the lunar base.

How did these alone make Xu Yun leave.

However, they also understand that Xu Yun does not belong to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and it is indeed difficult to make progress in the aerospace field in a short period of time.

So although he was reluctant in his heart, he still respected Xu Yun's decision.

At this time, Zhang Feng, who was next to him, hesitated a little and said: "Otherwise, if you stay for a while, I am afraid that the Shenwei system will ...... if you leave."

Although Zhang Feng didn't finish his words in the end, Xu Yun immediately understood what was going on when he heard about the Shenwei system.

Zhang Feng is responsible for the deployment of the Shenwei system, and although this project is going smoothly as a shield of the country, the deployment of all orbital platforms has not yet been completed.

It will still take some time before this heavy weapon is really in use.

Because he is still staying here, the deployment of the Shenwei system can be solved in time even if there is any unexpected situation in the middle.

Zhang Feng is just worried that there will be situations that cannot be quickly dealt with at that time, which will affect the deployment progress of the entire system.

It's just that before he could respond, he suddenly remembered the voice of Bai Ruisong, the director of the office:

"It's better to do this, I'll apply to the above and try to see if I can transfer Academician Xu directly to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group."

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately supported by Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng.

"This proposal is good, anyway, Xu Yuan is also an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and it does not violate any relevant regulations."

"If it can be done, it will be easy to do."

Xu Yun listened to all the discussions of the three of them, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

I didn't expect them to think about anything in order to keep them.

Although Xu Yun didn't want to attack them, he also knew in his heart that it would not be easy to transfer him to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, at least Hou Shengchang from the Academy of Sciences alone would not be able to pass this hurdle.

In addition, he didn't really want to enter the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and besides, he returned to Jingzhou City this time just for vacation.

It's not that you don't ask about aerospace engineering at all.

After all, the moon base was also built by him with great effort, and he definitely hopes for better development in the future.

So in order to reassure the three people in front of him, he had to explain with a smile.

"I'm just going back this time to take a vacation to spend time with my family, even if I'm in charge of new scientific research projects in the future, no matter what problems there are in the Shenwei system or the moon, I will help solve them."

"So you three big brothers, put your heart in your stomach."

Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng, and Bai Ruisong immediately felt very embarrassed after hearing Xu Yun's words.

Among them, Bai Ruisong, who is the director of the office, immediately said: "In this case, I personally paid for dinner tonight and called all the people in the project team, which was regarded as seeing off Academician Xu." As soon as the words fell, he looked at Xu Yun for advice.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun has indeed stayed here for a short time, and he is more familiar with the project team members after working together these days.

Naturally, there will be no opinion on Bai Ruisong's proposal.

"Okay, let's have a drink today."

Even if you nod your head in agreement.

That's it.

In the evening, Xu Yun arrived at the hotel on time, in addition to Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng and others, including members of the project team, making the atmosphere quite lively and harmonious.

It can also be regarded as a small celebration banquet for the successful completion of the project in advance.

Following.

Xu Yun took a special car back to Beijing under the escort of a special person.

With his current status, there is no way to measure the value and significance he has, so there must be no risk accidents.

For this reason, the security personnel around him are not only secret, but also exaggerated on the surface.

For example, this time he took the high-speed train back to Jingzhou, and there were no passengers in the box he was in, and the other seats were security personnel except for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that no one can get close to his body now.

Although this situation will definitely have a certain impact on his life, there is no way to do it, especially after the advent of space-based weapons, I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep well.

Fortunately, he usually doesn't like to go out, and spends most of his time in the hospital doing research.

However, this also made him arrive in Jingzhou, and the car he was riding in was followed by many vehicles, and he didn't know how many people's attention and attention were attracted on the road.

I thought some big guy was coming.

Chen Shihe knew that her husband was coming back today, so she had been waiting patiently at home with her two children.

From the moment she decided to be with Xu Yun and witnessed him emerge in the mathematical world as a genius scientist, she knew that Xu Yun would definitely not stay at home for long.

Because there are more important things to do.

And she is happy that she can have such a husband.

So she unconditionally supports Xu Yun's work.

What she needs to do is to educate her two children well and help Xu Yun honor her mother.

Over the years, she has not complained at all and is willing.

What's more, Xu Yun is not a person who completely ignores her family, even if she is busy with work, she will find time to come back, which has made her have no regrets in her life.

"Mom, is Dad really coming back today?"

Xu Ningxuan, who was already seven years old on the sofa in the living room, asked expectantly, and couldn't wait to see her father who hadn't seen her for a while.

She is very sensible in elementary school, and she knows very well that her father is a very good scientist and is doing a very great job, so even if she misses her birthday, she is not angry, she just wants to see her father come home early.

As for the younger brother Xu Ziyan sitting next to him, because he is only more than three years old, he is still the age of play.

At the moment, I am holding the robot dog and watching TV clumsily.

Chen Shihe faced her daughter's inquiry, looked sideways and said gently: "Of course it's true, when did Dad lie to you." ”

It was almost the moment her words fell, only to hear the doorbell at home suddenly ring.

Before Chen Shihe could make a move, Xu Ningxuan next to him had already run over quickly, and shouted at the same time: "Dad must be back." ”

Xu Ziyan, who was still watching TV, heard the word dad as if he had triggered some keyword, so he hurriedly jumped off the sofa and trotted towards the door.

Even that robot dog is not far behind.

Chen Shihe, who was directly behind, saw this scene with a happy smile on his face.

Helplessly, he shook his head and followed.

She also knew that there were security guards around her home at all times, and it must have been Xu Yun when someone came over at this time, so she didn't stop Xu Ningxuan and her son Xu Ziyan.

Xu Yun was standing outside the door and was thinking about whether to give his wife a wet kiss later, but after the door was opened, he found that it was his daughter, so he didn't care about the gift in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xu Ningxuan.

"Xuanxuan, have you missed your father during this time?"

"I think about it every day." Xu Ningxuan replied happily in the face of Xu Yun.

Next, after Xu Yun temporarily put down his daughter, he moved in the gifts for the two children, and then took Chen Shihe in his arms without caring about the two children beside him.

Finally, I remembered my son, so I stretched out my hand and gave a safe hug.

The family status is quite clear.

However, speaking of which, Xu Yun spends the least time with his son, after all, Xu Ziyan has been relatively busy since he was born.

Now I have a spare time to take a closer look at my son, first of all, the skin is inherited from Chen Shihe, and it is whiter than Xu Ningxuan, a beauty.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xu Ningxuan is a little tanned at school.

As for his facial features, he is quite similar to his father, so he doesn't have to think that he will definitely be a handsome guy in the future.

It's worse than him.

In addition, Xu Yun asked Chen Shihe and learned that his mother had not come back from going out to visit the vegetable market, so he didn't say anything more.

He had heard Chen Shihe talk about this a long time ago, and knew that his mother liked to chat with several women of the same age, and he would go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and shop when he had nothing to do.

After all, there will be a lack of common topics between the older generation and the younger generation.

It's certainly not appropriate to keep your mother at home all the time, but making some good friends can make you feel happier.

Anyway, my mother was followed by security personnel, so I didn't have to worry about what would happen.

In the evening, Xu Yun put the gifts he brought on the balcony, and it was the astronomical telescope he took the time to make himself, and its precision was difficult to compare even with a professional-level astronomical telescope.

During this period, the Chinese people successfully landed on the moon and the lunar base was put into use, in addition to the overwhelming publicity on the news, various schools also organized corresponding activities.

So Xu Ningxuan was particularly interested.

In the process of fiddling with the astronomical telescope, he asked with a curious face:

"Dad, is the moon really inhabited?"

"Of course, there are two uncles and an aunt living on the moon now."

"You can look for them later." Xu Yun answered his daughter's questions very patiently, and taught Xu Ningxuan how to use this precision astronomical telescope.

And just when Xu Yun returned to life to enjoy this warmth, Nibison, who was far away at the headquarters of the Aeronautics and Space Administration, was extremely irritable.

Two days ago at a meeting of the Cabinet Office, he was rebuked by a number of lawmakers.

There have even been calls for him to be held accountable.

Although the consul general has not yet made a clear statement, he has a hunch that he may not be able to keep his position this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a knock on the door from outside his office.

Although he was a little impatient, he finally answered.

"Come in."

The blonde wavy female secretary in a lady's suit pushed the door in, and before she could reach her desk, she reported, "Professor Rickett is outside and wants to see you, sir." ”

"Rickett, that old fellow, just say I'm not there." Nibison said with a frown at the name.

Of course, he knew about this old professor, because it was the other party who led the scientific researchers of various countries to research space-based weapons, but because there was no progress so far, he didn't bother to meet the other party.

Besides, he might be stepping down from his position soon.

However, the female secretary's words immediately changed his mind.

"But Professor Rickett says he has important good news to say." The female secretary added again.
