I Ask You to Build Tractors, but You Build Rockets?

Chapter 192 Lin’s Chicken Soup

On the evening of July 4, Director Lin, who had been on the hot search for the first day, finally responded. He posted a new Weibo to apologize for his behavior first, and then said that he would broadcast live in the evening.

Many netizens speculated that he might have to shoot a video to apologize in person, but they didn't think it was very important.

After all, it was not a big deal. The fact that the sports car was detained due to formalities problems was at most gossip. It was just that Lin Ju had rarely been in the news, so he was more popular.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Ju turned on the live broadcast, and more than 1 million people poured in in an instant. The traffic was so much that the server that the platform had prepared long ago almost couldn't bear it.

In front of the camera, it was Lin Ju wearing a shirt and casual clothes. He was wearing a safety helmet, just like the future employment imagination of civil engineering students in the advertising promotional film.

Lin Ju rolled up his sleeves slowly, and then greeted the camera:

"Hello, friends, guess where I am?"

The comments were in chaos, and Lin Ju didn't act as a riddle man. He picked up his phone and walked outside, taking a selfie pose around.

Zhou Rui's grandson Zhou Qingfeng is 11 years old this year, but under the influence of his family and his grandfather's identity as an astronaut, his knowledge of aerospace has surpassed most of his peers.

He sat in front of the computer with Zhou Rui and saw the searchlights emitting dazzling light in the dark, the blue steel structure, and the closed door of the general assembly building.

Zhou Qingfeng's short legs jumped up excitedly because he recognized where this was:

"Launch site, Qiongzhou Launch Site, right Grandpa?"

"Yes, um... It should be workstation No. 2. I was launched from here last time and stayed in space for three months. Yes, it should be."

Zhou Rui also rarely had time to rest. Recently, it was graduation season again, and he had to correct those shits that were hard to believe were written by humans, ah, no papers.

Reading these papers with 0 valid information in one sentence, incorrect catalogs and incorrect layout is simply a torture. It is better to memorize the thick "H1 Space Shuttle General Driving Manual", which is more than 600 pages, and it is a simplified version.

Blowing the moist and salty air of Qiongzhou, Lin Ju felt relaxed after taking a deep breath, and saw a neat answer in the comment area.

Most of those who follow Lin Ju are naturally also passionate about aerospace, and they all guessed that the huge assembly building here must be in Qiongzhou, which overturned the previous speculation.

Apologies have been made, now is the time to pretend!

Lin Ju held his mobile phone and walked into the assembly building again. The camera captured the workers passing by from time to time, and also captured the huge white rocket body behind him when he was sitting in the elevator.

There must be someone who can guess the correct answer among millions of people, not to mention that Lin Ju's going to the sky has always been quite popular.

It was announced in March, only 4 months away from July. There is even a "Countdown to Director Lin's Going to the Sky" essence post in the aerospace section forum, and friends go to check in every day.

When the elevator rose to the highest point, Lin Ju's legs trembled slightly when he stepped on the steel passage. After all, it was close to 100 meters high, and it was still a bit scary to look down.

The live screen moved, and the new Yuan-2 assembly that had been loaded with the space shuttle was fully displayed in front of netizens.

Shooting down from the passage more than 90 meters high, the rocket and the space shuttle in the middle are perfectly set off by the deep darkness, and the white body of the Xinyuan-2 emits a soft light, making it look even bigger.

Zhou Qingfeng, who was watching the live broadcast, wanted to put his head into the screen, and opened his eyes wide as if he was standing in the general assembly building with Lin Ju.

He also seemed to be at a height of 100 meters, and the huge rocket was in full view from above, making people feel weak in the legs.

"Grandpa, did you ride this rocket for the first time?"

Zhou Rui was also dazed for a moment when he saw the rocket, and then kindly answered his grandson:

"Yes, when I went up for the first time, I thought I might not see Qingfeng. You know, Xinyuan 2 has..."

"7 220-ton full-flow combustion liquid oxygen-methane engines, with a takeoff weight of 1,270 tons, each engine power exceeding 14 megawatts, seven engines close to 100 megawatts, enough for 10,000 households to use electricity together during peak hours, right?"

Zhou Qingfeng answered directly. He had heard too many of these questions from his grandfather and on the Internet, and they were already familiar to him.

"Well...Okay, okay, your idol, Director Lin, is going to speak."

Zhou Rui turned Zhou Qingfeng's big head stiffly and physically changed the subject.

At this time, the picture has been fixed. Lin Ju and Guo Shen are standing in front of the camera, with the H1 space shuttle "Unity" showing its side face behind them.

Lin Ju's height at this time is almost the same as the erected Unity cockpit. The contrast between the human body and the space shuttle makes the H1's figure stand out.

"Behind me now is the H1-type space shuttle No. 2, which was also awarded the 'hero level' for carrying out the special rescue mission of Operation Vostok.

So far, Unity has carried out 6 manned flight missions, with 29 round trips. It is the space shuttle with the most manned flight missions in our company and the most hardworking 'model worker'.

And the person next to me is Guo Shen, the chief designer who was deeply involved in the design and manufacture of the Xinyuan-2 rocket and Unity, and the director of the Space Power Department of Xinyuan Company."

Guo Shen stood in front of the camera with the aura of a scientist. His smooth head could be described as shiny, making it doubtful that anything could stay on it.

"When I was young, my dream was to be an astronaut. When I grew up, I realized that I had missed the opportunity long ago, so I studied aerospace engines, which indirectly realized my dream.

Aerospace is an exciting career. As for why it is exciting, I don't think there is a reason. When we stand here, when the assembly weighing 1,300 tons is behind us, all descriptions are pale and powerless."

Lin Ju: "I often see people asking on the Internet: Why don't you see me enjoying so much money? Why invest countless funds in aerospace that is difficult to generate direct returns, why do you want to go to space yourself?

I want to say that just as why people yearn to fly from the day they see birds, why they yearn for adventure when they see the sea, it is precisely because of this that when we look up at the stars, we have been working hard to get there.

Half a century ago, the exploration of space replaced war as the stage for the two super camps to compete for hegemony. Everyone remembers Yuri Gagarin, and everyone remembers that sentence: This is a small step for me, but a big step for mankind.

One day A few days ago, I went to the farm base around Xinyuan City. The ancestors of the rice planted there have been feeding our ancestors for 5,000 years. Now, these rice seeds have become more disease-resistant and high-yielding after the space journey, feeding the people on the earth.

The universe is not a mirror, nor is it a vain achievement. Even a vacuum is a precious wealth. The universe is not empty and desolate. With the development of science and technology, it is a treasure more precious than the earth.

Humans need the universe and need to develop the endless resources on the planets. Although this is still far away from us for the time being, at least someone needs to start working hard now.

Xinyuan Aerospace Power will strive to send more than 10,000 astronauts, engineers and ordinary people into space and set foot on planets in ten to fifteen years. "

"At the same time, I will take the Progress space shuttle on July 6 to reach low-Earth orbit."

There was no rule for adding more chapters before the book was put on the shelves, but I think that there is no need to urge for more chapters for this book with 10,000 updates every day~ This month, there are already 2,000 monthly tickets. According to the usual 1,000 monthly tickets plus one, two chapters should be added. Last time, one chapter, this time, one chapter...
