July 10, 2008.

The last day of the second week of Gravity's release.

15:35 p.m., Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base.

At this time, a huge Long March-2F Yao-7 carrier rocket has been set up on the launch pad.

Many space agency staff are conducting the final launch inspection and refueling work around the rocket.

And on the observation deck a few kilometers away from the launch pad, a group of special sightseeing guests were welcomed.

"Director Wu, it is expected that at 21:10 Beijing time, our Shenzhou-7 will be launched."

A young man wearing a white overalls and a work cap was holding a work schedule and telling Wu Yuan about the situation.

"Nine o'clock in the evening? That's early. After listening to his introduction, Wu Yuan nodded in understanding.

China's early space manned space missions were all very conservative.

The launch time at 21 o'clock in the evening is the safest launch window after various precise calculations.

Of course, Wu Yuan, a layman, would not have any objections to this, so he accepted it happily, and said with a smile: "Now the live broadcast has already started?" ”

It's as simple as sending people to space and drinking water 15 years later, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to the actual launch situation.

Now Huaxia's manned space mission, it can be said that the whole people are paying attention, and the whole process will be broadcast live, and the studio will also invite experts to cooperate with the commentary.

Wu Yuan remembered that in his dream, he stayed in front of the TV, waited for more than two hours, watched the launch of Shenzhou 7, and two days later watched astronaut Zhai Zhigang go out of the capsule in front of the TV and complete the first spacewalk in China.

To this day, he remembers the successful spacewalk, when he lived in a neighborhood filled with cheers and excited applause.

Now, he had the opportunity to be at the launch site and see the rocket rise into space with his own eyes.

The entire Gravity crew was invited to watch this important rocket liftoff.

This is also a very important publicity for this movie.

They don't even need to say anything, as long as there are a few seconds of footage in the live broadcast screen, it is enough to swipe their faces in front of the national audience.

Standing in the first row of the observation deck with the other guests invited to watch the launch, they all waved their hands at the camera when the live broadcast camera swept over Wu Yuan, Gong Li and others.

This picture was accurately captured and broadcast to CCTV's broadcast studio.

An expert professor with half-white hair was chatting with the host about the aerospace industry in the broadcast room.

When the host saw Wu Yuan, Gong Li, Wang Xueqi and others, he immediately interrupted the professor and said with a smile: "What appears in our live broadcast now is the crew of "Gravity" that was specially invited to the scene to watch the launch of Shenzhou 7. ”

"Gravity" is my country's first space science fiction disaster movie, which is currently being released nationwide, and fans have a high evaluation and reputation for this movie."

"This is not just a commercial film, but also a pseudo-popular science film that can take everyone to understand and get in touch with real space, if you haven't watched it, you can go to the cinema and watch it."

The CCTV host took the initiative to advertise a movie, although he was not the host of "News Network", but this effect was already very exaggerated.

And it's not just the host, the old professor also took the initiative to say after listening to the host's advertisement: "I also went to the cinema with my family yesterday to watch this movie." ”

"Although there are some designs that violate space physics in the movie in order to create some artistic conflicts, on the whole, this movie is still worth watching in the cinema."

"Not to mention anything else, just the space made with special effects in the movie is worth the ticket price."

In the eyes of experts and professors, some of the plots of "Gravity" must be full of loopholes.

For example, the satellite debris at the beginning cannot have such a high kinetic energy, nor can it run into the orbit where the space station is located.

The plot of the male protagonist in the middle choosing to let go in order to save the heroine is also very ridiculous, the spacecraft was not rotating at that time, and the astronauts did not have continuous external force or inertia to push them out, and the male protagonist could not let go at all.

In the final ending, the heroine who has lived in space for so long can still swim with strength when she can return to the ground, and she can swim to the shore and get up, a typical Chinese superman.

In addition to this, there are a lot of small BGUs that are flooded with movies in large numbers.

But these bugs all play a key role in the movie, and it can be said that without these bugs, the story of the movie would not be established, and the ending would not be shocking.

Real experts, although they know these bugs, will still think that "Gravity" is an excellent work.

Because they know very well that this is a movie, not a popular science documentary, let alone a thesis.

Only some people who think they "know a lot" and are eager to show off their "talents" will excitedly point out the so-called "low-level mistakes" of "Gravity" on the Internet after watching this movie, so as to satisfy their vanity by people who don't understand science.

On the contrary, the professor from Qingbei invited in the live broadcast room did not deliberately mention the bugs in the movie, and gave a good evaluation of the movie.

To be honest, for ordinary people, they don't know those esoteric physics and space physics knowledge, so there is no need to nitpick.

It is more worthwhile for them to ignite their curiosity and enthusiasm for space exploration through this film.

Of course, this is a live broadcast of the rocket launch for a national audience, and mentioning "Gravity" is already the limit.

After a few brief recommendations, the two continued to chat about today's rocket launch mission.

On the side of the rocket launch base, Wu Yuan also left the observation deck with Gong Li and Wang Xueqi and went to have dinner first.

At 21 o'clock in the evening, the three of them came to the observation deck again.

The temperature difference between day and night in Jiuquan is relatively large, and everyone who still wears short-sleeved shorts during the day has already put on their coats and waited for the rocket launch in the cold wind at night.

It's definitely a moment of national attention, and maybe even more attention than the opening ceremony of the Olympics later (only domestically).

It's a pity that the current mobile phone is not as advanced as the later generations, and Wu Yuan can't watch the launch on the spot while watching the live broadcast and posting Weibo with his mobile phone.

Otherwise, he will take a few selfies, take a few videos and post them on the Internet!

Unfortunately, now he can only stand on the observation deck and look at the launch pad that shimmers in the dim light in the distance.

At this time, the command center is also making final preparations for takeoff.

On the big screen, the three astronauts were all sitting in the cabin, ready to take off.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

The commander, who was very young and even had fluff on his mouth, calmly remembered the countdown to the launch.

His voice was transmitted by radio to thousands of households in China.

The TV sets of every household are also broadcasting the pictures of the astronauts in the command center and on the big screen at this time.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The three astronauts sitting in the orbital module saluted the camera in front of them.

"Ignition!"

"Take off!"

With the commander's order, the nozzle under the rocket "boomed" and burst out of brilliant and hot flames, and tons of fuel were burning violently, providing thrust for the rocket.

Standing a few kilometers away, Wu Yuan felt as if he was in front of the rocket, almost watching the rocket rise into the air with his face close to his face.

When watching the live broadcast, I always feel as if the rocket lifts off very slowly, like ants climbing a tree.

But at the scene, Wu Yuan really felt it, and he was not slow at all!

In the blink of an eye, the rocket quickly rose to the point where he could only see the tail flame when he looked up.

"Huh-" With the roar of the rocket taking off, there were bursts of fierce applause from the command center.

"The rocket is in the projected orbit!"

"Launch successful!"

At this moment, the whole country celebrates!

The picture depicted in the movie is perfectly combined with reality at this time.

Two days later, the people of the whole country will be able to watch the Chinese astronauts go out of the capsule on the Shenzhou 7 for a spacewalk on the TV!

A small step for Huaxia Aerospace, a big leap for mankind!

When Shenzhou No. 7, which carries the hopes and expectations of all Chinese people, was successfully launched and was still climbing according to the scheduled track, cinemas of all sizes across the country have been squeezed through the threshold by the swarming audience.

There has never been a better time to watch a movie related to Huaxia Aerospace than now.

"Gravity", which was originally slightly less popular, has once again become the center of attention of the people of the whole country.

Now, this movie is not just a movie, it is still the emotional sustenance of all Chinese people's aerospace dreams!

Everyone lined up into the cinema, looking at the Tiangong space station, the survey telescope, and the new model of the Shenzhou spacecraft more than ten years later, everyone's eyes were full of expectations.

This is not a science fiction movie, and in the not-too-distant future, everything in this movie will definitely become a reality!

Huaxia has the ability and confidence to become an aerospace power, build its own space station, and occupy a place in extraterrestrial space!

A couple walked out of the cinema.

The girl took the boy's hand, raised her head, and asked with a smile, "Will we have our own space station in the future?" ”

"Will this space station really be called Heavenly Palace?"

"Shenzhou, Heavenly Palace, and Sky Survey, these names are really romantic."

The boy nodded firmly: "There will be!" ”

"Xiaoli, what do you say about my college entrance examination next year, how about choosing a major in aircraft power engineering?"

"I didn't know what I wanted to do in the future, but after watching this movie, I knew what I wanted to do."

"I want to build rockets!"

"I want to turn the future depicted in this movie into reality!"

"Tiangong space station, survey space telescope, as well as our lunar rover, manned landing on the moon, I believe this will not be a dream, sooner or later it will come true!"

The girl looked at her boyfriend, and from his eyes, she saw a dazzling light!

"Hmmm! I'm sticking with you! ”

"But you can't leave me, I'm going to work with you!"

In this way, two young people, who were only 17 years old, made an important decision on this ordinary evening.

They don't know now that ten years later, one of them became the youngest R&D personnel of the Moon Rabbit rover, and the other became a member of the design team of the Long March 9 heavy rocket.

And what prompted them to take this step was the movie that influenced a generation's understanding and cognition of "space" - "Gravity"! (End of chapter)
