"Two soft sleeper tickets to the Northern Capital."

Zhang Xingyang handed the ID card and letter of introduction in his hand to the conductor behind the window.

After receiving it, the conductor saw the work unit above and was stunned for a few seconds, and then said viciously to Zhang Xingyang:

"You spent so much money from the state, and you only got out a sky-skimming monkey that can explode, and you are embarrassed to sit on a soft sleeper?!"

Zhang Xingyang's eyes were calm, he looked at the female conductor in front of him with angry eyes, and did not say anything, but repeated again:

"A soft sleeper ticket to the Northern Capital, thank you."

The "snap" conductor connected the ID card and the letter of introduction to the ticket, and slapped it heavily on the counter to vent the resentment in his heart.

Put the documents, letter of introduction and tickets in his bag and put them away, Zhang Xingyang glanced at the conductor who was still angry after the counter.

I thought in my heart: failure is the mother of success.

As a person who originally lived in the 22nd century, Zhang Xingyang can actually understand people's psychology at this point in time.

At this time, people are sensitive and fragile to the feelings of the country.

After the rocket launch failure was broadcast live on TV, accusations poured into the person in charge who had died in the accident, Zhang Xingyang's father-Zhang Jianguo.

In the 22nd century, where Zhang Xingyang worked and lived before him, the Dragon Kingdom, as the world's only superpower, traveled to the moon, Mars, Titan (Titan), and Europa.

The First Starship Group has even set off for the Oort Cloud to establish a forward base in preparation for the exploration of the nearest star system, the Centauri α.

In such a country, everyone has a very high tolerance for technological failures, and even if they fail, everyone is mainly comforted and rarely blamed in this way.

However, after living in this era for a period of time, Zhang Xingyang has been able to understand the psychology of people in this era.

After all, at this time, the economy of the Dragon Kingdom has not yet begun to take off and become the largest economy in the world.

It's hard to control your emotions when you encounter such technological failures.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Xingyang can tolerate the well-known traitorous remarks.

Walking out of the sparsely populated train station, Xichang is very warm in February, and as a tropical plateau climate, there are few cold times.

Chen Fang outside the station, his heart has been cold to the bottom, and even in Xichang, where the four seasons are like spring, he can't feel a trace of warmth.

The rocket launch failed, blowing up the temporary dormitory and cooperation building of the aerospace engineering and technical personnel at the launch base. And his most proud eldest disciple at that time, because he had been working overtime a few days ago, happened to be resting in the dormitory at that time.

As a result, it was exploded by a rocket comparable to the power of dozens of tons of TNT explosives, and it was instantly blown into countless fragments.

"Professor Chen, this is your ticket back to Beidu."

Zhang Xingyang took out his ID card, letter of introduction and ticket from his satchel and handed them to Professor Chen Fang.

"Alas, it's a shame to return it to me to buy a sleeper car in vain."

Chen Fang talked about his experience this time, and sighed as he casually put things into his handbag.

"Professor Chen, don't be too sad, failure is the mother of success, and we will definitely get better and better in the future."

Zhang Xingyang comforted Professor Chen, who was hit by the double blow of the failed rocket launch and the death of his eldest disciple.

Chen Fang felt a little better in his heart, and said in a soft tone:

"Xiao Zhang, I also know that the rocket launch failed, and it is not easy for you, I have been friends with your father for many years, this time he left in the accident, you not only have to take care of your mother, but also be responsible for the research institute as the acting dean, you have worked hard."

Zhang Xingyang felt Chen Fang's concern for him, although his face did not change, his heart was still warm.

"Professor Chen, although Longguo Aerospace is experiencing hardships now, the future of our aerospace industry is bright."

Chen Fang frowned when he heard this, as if asking Zhang Xingyang and himself:

"Our space journey has just begun, and we have suffered such a major setback, can we really get better and better in the future?"

"Definitely, we will fly manned, build our own space station, land on the moon, land on Mars, until the red flag is planted all over the solar system, our journey is a sea of stars!"

When he said this, Zhang Xingyang's eyes shone with a light that was incomprehensible to others, after all, these things were done in his own time, Zhang Xingyang believed more than others that this country that had just woken up from its slumber could stand among the stars!

Looking at Zhang Xingyang, who looked excited, Chen Fang was a little surprised, after all, after such a major accident, no one can still maintain such a high morale and firmly believe in the development of the aerospace industry.

"Xiao Zhang, ideas are sometimes very beautiful, but the reality is often very cruel." Chen Fang sighed and said, "If I can see our own astronauts on the moon in this life, then I will die without regrets." ”

"Definitely, in less than thirty years, we will be on the moon, and you will not be eighty years old at that time, and you will definitely be able to see it with your own eyes."

Zhang Xingyang looked at Professor Chen, who seemed to have no strength in his whole person, and said his promise.

According to his memory, in fact, the original country landed on the moon in 2030, with all kinds of black technologies brought from the future in his mind, this time can only be advanced, so the moon landing within 30 years is actually a very conservative commitment.

"Then borrow your auspicious words, Xiao Zhang, although I didn't find anything specific about the problem this time," Chen Fang turned his head and talked about the launch accident.

"But I think it's likely that there is a problem with the attitude control system, but unfortunately I don't know which control element is the problem, Xiao Zhang, you must check it after you go back."

Zhang Xingyang nodded approvingly and said:

"The rocket will tilt and hit the mountain, and the control system will definitely be the key to the problem, and the institute will conduct a special simulation study to find out the real cause of this accident."

Now that Zhang Xingyang has already said the plan for the base, it is inconvenient for Chen Fang to say more.

glanced at his watch and said, "It's not early, you go back first, I'll just enter the station and wait for the train by myself." ”

"Thank you, Professor Chen." Zhang Xingyang said sincerely.

Chen Fang waved his hand and said: "It's nothing hard, I just hope that you can find the cause of the accident as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee the success of the next launch." As a result of this accident, the international community has questioned our launch capability, and even many orders have been re-signed. It's actually you who really work hard. ”

"We will, Professor Chen." Zhang Xingyang smiled and said.

Since Zhang Xingyang has come to this era, he will not let those dark moments in aerospace history happen again.

This time, this ancient country will achieve its take-off at a faster speed, planting red flags all over the starry sky!
