Chapter 152 Commercial Launches
"Director Lin, is Director Lin here?"
Fifteen minutes before the launch, Chen Weizhang suddenly shouted on the radio that in the past few months, he had also called Director Lin with the trend.
Lin Ju, who was a little concerned about this commercial launch mission, sat in front of the computer and replied to Chen Weizhang: "Chairman Chen, I am here, although I am not at the launch site, I have been watching you here. ”
Chen Weizhang: "Director Lin, I will soon go to the sky before you, I want to say: Xinyuan Company is good, I also got on the Chinese people's own space shuttle, let those Ami guys follow us and eat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there were different degrees of laughter inside and outside the live broadcast screen.
Chen Weizhang's words are very characteristic of the rigid speech of the coal boss, but it is really very popular, and only a few people can guess that he is actually a little nervous and deliberately uses this to cheer himself up.
Perhaps because he felt that he also had to behave, Chen Jun interjected directly:
"I want to fight for the company for another 20 years, and strive to go to space every year!"
Lin Ju in the picture nodded with a smile: "As long as the sales volume is enough, let alone going to space every year, I can fly a plane for you!" ”
Their jokes did not disrupt the launch procedure, as long as the background monitoring of the five people is stable, the launch center should still do something.
The crowd watching the live broadcast also found it very interesting, because it was a commercial launch, so there was no live news broadcast this time, but the number of people who watched the live broadcast on the Internet has skyrocketed compared to last year, with several millions.
The 4G network has been fully rolled out, and the development of the mobile Internet has allowed more and more people to get rid of the dependence on the traditional communication path.
Short videos, some people hate and some love, but it is undeniable that its popularity can indeed sweep the world and bring huge traffic.
Users watching through the Internet are much more active than in front of the TV, and for today's commercial launches, the first hot word in the morning is: "How far is space from ordinary people".
Due to Lin Ju's tendency to send people to space as frantically as almost as if he didn't want money, ordinary people even have the illusion that the heavens have begun to civilianize.
The most important factor for this is the 10 lucky winners selected through the lottery carried out by XC4, they are richer than ordinary people, but not to the point of cloud and mud, so many people feel that they have the hope of going to space in their lives, and they have a great enthusiasm for aerospace.
This is exactly what Lin Ju wants to see, and he will work harder in this direction.
With a three-minute countdown, all four passengers took a deep breath, closed their eyes and opened them again.
Even if it is tens of billions of corporate executives and super-rich, aerospace, that is a career destined to be noble.
Now they are sitting in the space shuttle, and the level of excitement is no different from that of ordinary people.
Hu Dong was more proficient in going to heaven for the second time, but he kept confirming the physical condition of the four of them, and then adjusted his posture to resist overload.
As the countdown returned to zero, Chen Jun felt that his ears suddenly emptied and was quiet for a second, and then he felt that he was sucked into the seat, his legs were weak and then immediately replaced by the squeezing sensation of the anti-load chair, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
He said to himself in his heart: It's worth it.
Ten minutes later, the second-stage rocket and the steadfast detachment, as well as the fluid connector, officially entered orbit.
Forty minutes later, the Steadfast caught up with the Tiangong space station and gradually slowed down.
Since the hatch was changed to the tail, the docking operation was assisted by the astronauts in the space station in addition to automatic docking, but fortunately, the SC09 was very powerful, and it was easy to insert the tail interface into it.
The locking mechanism was opened, and the firm monitored the same air pressure on both sides of the airlock through the data connection, and gently opened the hatch after confirmation by Hu Dong.
At this time, the choice of friends in front of the company carefully unbuckled the seat belt, opened the mask, and slowly floated to the top of the crew compartment under the action of momentum, gently pushed it with his hand and then floated down diagonally.
"It's amazing!"
Chen Weizhang did not try to lose weight first, but leaned his head close to the porthole, overlooking the African land below him, and the shape of the plates that could only be seen on a map was clearly displayed in the bottom of his eyes.
Because he was so engrossed in watching, he didn't even notice that his legs floated up and kicked on Chen Jun's head.
Chen Weizhang said to himself: "My mother, the old man has also become an astronaut!" ”
……
When the superior leaders saw the successful launch of the commercial mission of the Steadfast, they also received relevant information from Masashi Okada.
After collecting information from the people below, it can be preliminarily concluded that Okada Masashi's "sneaking away" was voluntary, probably because JAXA's internal management was very corrupt and the pressure was too great, so he ran away.
There is also evidence that Okada had been in contact with several JAXA engineers before his departure, and more than a dozen of them had already applied for passports.
The superiors were speechless for a while, how dark JAXA must be, it makes the internal sky angry and resentful, and the chief engineer has to take a bunch of engineers with him when he runs away!
After asking people to confirm with Okada Kuashi and Lin Ju in person, the superiors decided: As long as Okada is voluntary, he can go through the immigration procedures quickly through the technical expert channel;
They should hand over to China as soon as possible, complete the resignation procedures and change of nationality, so as to avoid further incidents;
The news will be released as late as possible, and we will wait for JAXA to take the initiative to ask.
However, we have to wait for the possible big news of JAXA, but the higher-level leaders threw a blockbuster topic to the Standing Committee today:
Suggestions on some ways to vigorously develop the space industry and enhance the understanding of space among space-related practitioners.
The name is a bit verbose, but it fits the main idea of the proposal:
To put it simply, it is one sentence: "Aerospace practitioners, especially leaders, must have an intuitive and comprehensive understanding of space in addition to serving policy plans;
If permitted, consideration can be given to allowing key scientific researchers and management cadres to reach space by any means to assess the status and importance of space from another perspective;
And in the future, it is not excluded that non-related practitioners can also go to space to have a look without affecting the space program, and a special amount of funds will be allocated for this expenditure every year, and the category will be calculated according to spiritual construction. ”
However, to the surprise of his superiors, the first thing he received after he finished speaking was not a voice of opposition, but a situation that he had never thought about.
The rest of the people thought that the superior leaders wanted to go to space!
The conference room was instantly chaotic, and a group of usually calm and solemn people expressed their opinions fiercely at this moment, trying to explain that the identity of the superior leader was not suitable for going to space, and it was too risky to go to space.
Watching a group of insect superiors who distort their minds have black lines on their faces, and then re-express their sources of inspiration, and then say that they absolutely have no ...... At least for now, there are no plans to go to space, and the precious opportunities are reserved for the most useful talents.
He calls this a special "refresher", which is now open to the space industry and costs a lot of money, so it is worth maximizing the value.
This time, the meeting was discussed for a long time.
