Chapter 1105 New Competition (Third update, please subscribe)

"The road is blue and blue. Open up the mountains and forests, bravely create and develop the future. Let us fight for you, our motherland - Nanyang. Don't let the old days Disaster strikes again, so we unite closely..."

The immature children's voices gathered into a force that cannot be underestimated, clear and firm, penetrating the early morning sunshine and echoing over the campus. Every note is full of longing for the future, and every lyric is full of expectations for the future.

Their ancestors came to this land, wore tattered clothes and opened up the mountains and forests. The former rainforests turned into modern cities and high-yield plantations, just as described in the song - this was once a It was a wild place, but we changed everything with our hands.

As the national anthem of Nanyang, it fully embodies the characteristics of Nanyang - the lyrics were created by Li Yi'an and the music was composed by German musician Furtwängler. This song may not be exciting, but it tells the reality of this land at the beginning - before we came, this place was a wilderness, but after us, it became prosperous and wealthy.

"...We farm, we build, we are full of motivation to learn and create. The free generation thrives and believes in its own strength. The youth of Nanyang should not let down the expectations from the people. You are the future of the motherland..."

The teacher stood in front of the team with gentle and solemn eyes. She placed her right hand gently on her chest and sang this song with the students. Soon, the music on the classroom radio stopped.

Then, led by the teacher, the children began to take the oath.

"I swear allegiance to Nanyang..."

This process has a formalized and ritualized fixed process. Stand in silence, press your right hand on your chest, look at the Nanyang flag, and swear allegiance. In all primary and secondary schools in Nanyang, this is a prescribed action every morning, and it cannot be omitted even in extracurricular camps. According to Nanyang law, if you refuse to take the oath, you will be expelled immediately.

After the oath was taken, the children who had been standing in the aisles sat down before the day's classes began. During the singing of the national anthem and the oath of oath, all teachers and students were required to stand and face the national flag.

This is the case every morning, whether in primary school or middle school.

Unlike usual, Zhao Weijie did not listen carefully to the teacher's lectures after taking the oath, but looked out the window from time to time.

He is waiting. In fact, other students are also waiting. They will always cast their expectant eyes out of the window. As for the teacher who is teaching "Chinese Language", he will also inadvertently cast his gaze out of the window. On the glass window, check today's appearance through the light and shadow.

The whole school is like this early in the morning.

The teachers were not interested in teaching, and the students were not interested in studying. Outside the campus, there were also crowds of people, not only reporters who came after hearing the news, but also many star-struck fans. The crowds filled half the street, and the police station had to dispatch a large number of police officers. Police maintain order.

At this time, Chang'an No. 37 National School has become the center of everyone's attention.

This is just an ordinary nine-year school in Chang'an City. There is nothing special here. The parents of students here are civil servants, company employees, workers or ordinary businessmen.

This is the most special thing about Nanyang - except for a few private schools, all schools are the most ordinary national schools.

There are many ordinary national schools, but not all schools have this honor - the world's first astronaut into space, Wang Baoxian, will visit this school.

His visit to this school was completely... determined by drawing lots. After all, every school in Nanyang had sent invitations, but only a few schools had this opportunity.

Soon, the motorcade drove up under the escort of the police car. When he was about to get off the car, Wang Baoxian took a deep breath, and the public relations assistant sent by the space agency sitting opposite him said to him.

"Captain, you must smile when you get off the car to give people a sense of intimacy."

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Baoxian smiled , his eyes are inevitably a little tired. Since returning to Earth, various activities have taken up almost all of his time. According to the space agency, we need to increase our exposure. Only in this way can we gain national support for aerospace. Career support.

This is a very real problem.

Public support in Nanyang is also extremely important.

Finally, when the car door opened, Wang Baoxian’s flashlights came on before he even got out. When he got out of the car, as usual, he stretched out his hand to greet people, which even spread among the nearby crowd.

"Wang Baoxian, I love you..."

Wang Baoxian was used to this kind of bold display of love. He just smiled and waved, and then selectively handed over the money. Sign a photo, or shake someone's hand.

Then he entered the school under the escort of his entourage. The principal and two teachers, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over to welcome him. According to the procedure, he will first go to a classroom to have a simple communication with the students, and then meet with all the teachers and students in the school auditorium. Compared to the latter, the former is undoubtedly the most direct.

So which class to choose is very important, at least for the children.

No one gave Wang Baoxian any advice or arrangements. After entering the teaching building, he asked:

"Principal Lin, is there a (three) class?"

Originally, he studied in Class 3 in elementary school, but now he naturally chooses Class 3.

"Yes, yes,"

Principal Lin said quickly.

"Our school has nine grades, each grade has six classes, a total of 54 classes..."

As he explained, he asked again.

"Wang Feiguan, what grade are we in?"

"First grade."

Listening to the footsteps in the corridor, everyone's heart was in their throats, and all the students were shouting in their hearts.

"Come to our class, come to our class..." Finally, the door opened. At the moment when the door opened, looking at the light of the camera and the astronauts who walked in, Zhao Weijie, like everyone else, felt that His eyes were full of joy, and his young face was already smiling.

“It’s really him, it’s really him...”

He really came to our class. Zhao Weijie's fists were clenched and his eyes were wide open, fearing that in the blink of an eye, the astronauts in the class would disappear like rockets in a dream.

"Hello, children! I hope I haven't disturbed you!"

Faced with the greetings, the children in class shouted one after another.

“Hello, astronaut.”

Astronaut, this is what people call Wang Baoxian, and it has long become synonymous with him. Everything that happened next was natural. As an astronaut, Wang Baoxian introduced space and his feelings of flying in space to the children, and then chatted with the children about their ideals.

Children have various ideals. Some want to be doctors, some want to be soldiers, some want to be lawyers, firefighters. In short, there are all kinds of professions, and not because of his arrival. I want to be an astronaut.

"What about you?"

Zhao Weijie, who was asked the question, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and answered.

“I want to go to space.”

This is the first time a child has said this. When Wang Baoxian was smiling, Zhao Weijie said seriously:

"My brother wants to be an astronaut. I want to send him to space and use the rocket I invented."

"That is a rocket engineer. In this case, you must study hard. Only in this way, Only then can we go to space."

After thinking about it, Wang Baoxian said again.

“Perhaps, by the time you grow up, we will have reached the moon, and the moon... will be the next goal of mankind!”

……

Moon!

Standing in front of a large blackboard, Yuan Jialiu, the director of the Nanyang Aeronautics and Space Administration, looked at the earth and the moon depicted on the blackboard, with an orbit drawn between them.

Just yesterday, the space agency's computer computer finally completed the calculation of the moon's orbit. Although it took a few days, it would probably take thousands of people several months to calculate it manually.

Eugene looked at the dense numbers and symbols on the blackboard and said:

“It seems that we have a chance.”

"This is just the first step. The first step is to launch the probe and fly around the moon. The second step is to launch the probe and land on the moon's surface. The third step is to land on the moon."

Yuan Jialiu He said while lighting his cigarette.

“Every step is difficult.”

“The most difficult thing is the high-thrust rocket.”

Qian Fukang, a rocket engineer, said.

"Through preliminary calculations, the take-off weight of the rocket needs to be at least 2,000 tons and the thrust exceeds 2,500 tons..."

As he listened to one number after another, Eugene's brows also wrinkled. As a rocket engine engineer, he knows very well what this means - for now, it is simply impossible to achieve this goal. After all, the thrust of the Wanhu Type 5 engine is only a few dozen tons.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Eugene took a puff, blew out the smoke, stared at the big blackboard, and said.

“It’s really difficult!”

A few people just held their arms and stared at the blackboard. What was shown on this blackboard was just the first step, or even just a The draft, but even so, was far beyond their expectations.

"This is just the first step. In order to land on the moon, we need more computers with faster computing speeds."

"And the control system of the spacecraft..."

Questions were raised one by one from their mouths. Eventually, these questions would be listed in a book. Next, all the technical forces in Nanyang—universities and enterprises—would be gathered to participate. Hundreds of thousands of people may be involved, and billions, or even tens of billions, may be spent. Of course, the actual expenditure will far exceed their imagination.

It may be tens of billions, or even nearly 100 billion!

Actually, this is not a big deal. In another world, the United States invested US$30 billion in the "Apollo" moon landing program. In addition to scientists and engineers from NASA-affiliated research institutions, participating in the "Apollo" program In addition, they also employ more than 300,000 scientists and engineers from universities, corporate institutions and research institutions on a contract basis, with a total of more than 400,000 people in more than 20,000 companies and more than 120 universities.

It can be said that the moon landing program, no matter it is placed in any country, will be an undertaking that devotes its national strength, and this undertaking itself is, to a certain extent, a competition.

Now the United States has announced that it will implement a "lunar landing plan". Although the Soviet Union did not announce it, the TASS News Agency published an article - although it did not mention lunar calculations, it did mention space and the moon. Obviously, They have joined the race.

What about Nanyang?

Now the people in this space agency are facing this blackboard. Facing the data on the blackboard... Once the plan is launched, they will join it.
