Chapter 321 Xu Qingzhou: Come up there yourself
Traveling is nothing more than eating and drinking. They spent two days walking around various scenic spots. On the afternoon of January 26, the two took the high-speed train to the satellite launch base.
During this time, I have seen the natural scenery of the North, and it is a good time to experience the technological power of the motherland.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao arrived at Dongfeng South Station on time.
Senior Brother Qi Wanpeng originally came to pick them up, but because he had an impromptu meeting and couldn't leave, the two immediately took a taxi to the hotel at the base.
At the door of the hotel, Qi Wanpeng waved his hand and greeted: "Junior Brother Xu, Junior Sister Song."
Seeing Qi Wanpeng with two dark circles under his eyes, Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile: "Brother Qi, you must be very busy these days."
"Yes, everyone was nervous and went through the process over and over again, for fear of missing that link. After all, we are building the world's first quantum satellite."
Qi Wanpeng looked tired, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
"That's what scientific research is like. You won't feel at ease unless you see the results with your own eyes." Xu Qingzhou nodded, understanding. It was the same when he first led the satellite project. Although he had experimented many times, he couldn't wait until the satellite arrived successfully. Before booking a track, my heart is always hanging.
After talking about satellite launches, the topic quickly transitioned to the places Xu Qingzhou and the others went to play during this time, and then started talking about the food in the base here.
"There is a home-cooked restaurant outside the base. It tastes very good. You can check it out when you have time. However, there is no need to try the braised pork. It is not as good as Master Liao."
Entering the room on the fifth floor, Qi Wanpeng said sheepishly: "Junior brother, the accommodation at the base is quite tight, and the double bed room is gone."
"It's already very good." Xu Qingzhou smiled. Most of the people living here are staff and their families. Because of his special contribution, he has the same treatment as the staff.
"Okay, then you should rest first."
Qi Wanpeng didn't stay long and told Xu Qingzhou that a staff member would take them to the viewing platform tomorrow and continued to work.
"Master Liao? Is that the chef at the Quantum Research Institute you mentioned?"
"Yes, braised pork is a must."
Xu Qingzhou said, pressed the bed, it was very soft, and murmured: "Two beds, I haven't tried them yet."
"What do you want to try?" Although Song Yao didn't understand what this guy was talking about, she probably guessed that it was not a good thing.
"Fuck" Xu Qingzhou felt that it would be dangerous to say it directly, so he said euphemistically: "We can sleep in one bed first and sleep in the other bed in the middle of the night."
"Are you so broad-minded?" Song Yao stared, thinking, what can a normal person do?
"."
Xu Qingzhou remained silent. He would definitely not be able to do it tonight. He had been tired for a long day and had to get up early tomorrow. When he had time, he would let Song School Beauty know the deeper meaning of the two beds.
Song Yao took out the toiletries and pajamas and put them on the bed, looking at the two small beds, "It's a bit crowded for two people to sleep."
"You're not big, so you can squeeze in."
Xu Qingzhou felt that School Beauty Song did not have a very clear understanding of herself.
"Ah~"
Two meals in three days.
"Xu Qingzhou, go take a bath."
"Okay."
Song Yao leaned on the bed, bored, so she simply opened Qiandu and searched the meaning of two beds for lovers.
So, Xu Qingzhou, who had just come out of the shower, was held down and beaten again.
By the time the two of them finished washing, it was already past 10 o'clock. They had to get up early the next day, so they tucked themselves into bed early to get ready for bed.
Song Yao asked with some anticipation: "Can we enter the command hall on TV?"
"No." Xu Qingzhou said angrily, holding his waist.
The command hall is the core area of rocket launches. The operations and technologies involved are highly confidential and are basically not open to the public except for relevant staff.
Song Yao muttered: "I thought it could be the same as in novels and TV series."
"We should be able to watch the satellite launch from the VIP viewing platform, which is the best location. Okay, go to bed early."
"Okay."
15 minutes passed.
"Xu Qingzhou"
Song Yao arched her head against Xu Qingzhou.
"Huh?"
"I can't sleep." Song Yao hooked Xu Qingzhou with her foot. Although she had a dull personality, she felt a sense of novelty at the thought of watching a rocket launch tomorrow morning.
Xu Qingzhou closed his eyes and said: "Then come up there yourself, hey~ stop, you will be useless if you pinch your waist again!"
"Xu Qingzhou, is there anything else in your mind besides these?"
"Do you want to play something else?"
"."
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the two of them got up from the bed and followed the staff to the VIP viewing platform.
Judging from Xu Qingzhou’s experience, the best rocket launch viewing site is in Wenchang. There are many villages and hotels around it, and the government is also promoting aerospace tourism.
The second place is Xichang. I have been there several times. After work, I can go to the viewing platform next to the base to have barbecue.
Next is today's Jiuquan, where the Space City was built, which is pretty good. Apart from them, it can also be seen in the Gobi in the distance.
As for the aviation base in Taiyuan, it is built in a ravine and has little reception capacity.
The VIP viewing platform is only 1.3 kilometers away from the launch site.
The huge rocket stood quietly on the launch tower, its silver-white shell shining dazzlingly under the light, revealing the crystallization and brilliance of human technology.
The first time he arrived at the viewing platform, Xu Qingzhou was pulled by Song Yao to take photos and check in.
Song Yao was dressed very beautifully today, with exquisite makeup, a black coat, a red scarf, a bun, and a few strands of hair in front of her forehead fluttering in the wind.
"Okay."
After Xu Qingzhou took the photo, he gave his phone to Song Yao. All three elements of the portrait were arranged in the top grid, and he just pressed the shutter button with his paw.
"Yeah, not bad." Song Yao nodded with satisfaction and sent the photo to the two family groups.
There is a large screen at the site, and you can see people walking on the scaffolding. Until 10 minutes before launch, there were staff inspecting the rocket's nozzle.
The temperature in the Gobi Desert is very low and bitingly cool, much colder than Kyoto. After taking perfect photos, the two of them sat down arm in arm, hugging each other for warmth, and quietly waited for the satellite launch.
Seeing Song Yao finish sending the photos, Xu Qingzhou asked: "Do you want to take photos to commemorate the launch?"
Song Yao shook her head and looked at the rocket in the distance, "The eyes are the best cameras. If you just use your mobile phone to take pictures, you will miss a lot of meaningful pictures, which is not worth the gain."
"Very sober." Xu Qingzhou commented. He looked at the rocket in the distance and felt a little emotional. He had witnessed many rocket launch scenes in the command hall, but this seemed to be the first time outside.
Song Yao snorted lightly and stared at the rocket in the distance.
Time passed slowly, and while countless people were waiting, a series of professional and compact instructions appeared.
"Attention everyone, prepare in 10 minutes!"
"The control system check is completed and the status is normal!"
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignite!"
7:00 pm.
When the countdown reached zero, with a deafening roar, the flames from the bottom of the rocket spurted out, like a wildly dancing fire dragon, instantly lighting up the night sky and dragging a long "blue tail" across the sky.
The earth was shaking.
Song Yao looked quietly into the distance, her round eyes reflecting orange spots of light.
This is what couples are like. The beautiful moments in life, such as sunrises and sunsets, beautiful scenery, will become their shared memories and become valuable assets in their relationship.
Especially for girls who pay attention to ritual, even Song Yao felt a strange feeling emerge in her heart at this time.
She and Xu Qingzhou witnessed a "star" taking off.
Seeing the school beauty Song's sparkling eyes, Xu Qingzhou gently hugged her over.
The news talks about how great achievements the country's aerospace industry has made, but only when you see it up close can you feel the shock.
Even though he has experienced this scene several times, he still feels moved in his heart.
And, this is with the person you like. Under the cover of night, the rocket briefly submerged in the clouds, but then appeared dazzlingly in everyone's sight, turned high in the sky, and soon turned into a small red dot and gradually disappeared into the night sky.
On the ground, people applauded and cheered for a long time.
The launch went smoothly and the satellite entered the predetermined orbit. Qingzhou and the others were not allowed to do anything else. During the visit with the staff, Xu Qingzhou met Professor Pan outside the command building who had just finished being interviewed by reporters.
"Xiao Xu."
"Professor Pan." Xu Qingzhou greeted.
"Is this your girlfriend?"
Xu Qingzhou nodded and introduced Professor Pan to Song Yao.
Song Yao said hello: "Hello, Professor Pan."
"A talented man and a beautiful woman." Professor Pan smiled softly, praised the two of them, and then got down to the topic: "Xiao Xu, we will have a series of research projects here next. Are you interested in participating?"
< br>
Xu Qingzhou has extraordinary achievements in mathematics, but his talent in physics is also terrifying. The physics community in Xia State lacks such talents.
"Thank you, Professor Pan."
Xu Qingzhou said helplessly: "I have other research content now and may not have time to participate in other projects."
This period of time was very fulfilling, reading information and taking notes. In more than ten days, he had finished the two books in the book list given by Chu Jiangfeng.
The application of simple harmonic analysis in modern mathematics and signal processing "Fourier Analysis and Wavelet Analysis Fundamentals", and then Grafakos's "GTM249, GTM250".
Learning new content like crazy is like a traveler who has been thirsty for three days in the desert and suddenly sees a source of water. It feels very good.
Professor Pan felt a little regretful and could only say: "It's a pity, Xiao Xu. No matter what, if you want to study quantum physics in the future, our door will always be open for you."
"Thank you, Professor."
Professor Pan is the person in charge of the quantum satellite. He briefly chatted for a few words and left in a hurry.
Launching the satellite is only the first step, and the remaining work is still complicated, such as testing the working condition of the satellite, first conducting a simple quantum reception experiment to see whether the equipment achieves the expected results, etc.
Outside the command building, Xu Qingzhou said hello to Academician Ma from the Institute of Quantum and Professor Chang from the School of Mathematics at Beijing University, and then prepared to go out for a walk with Song Yao.
On the way, the two of them happened to bump into Qi Pengtian who was delivering documents.
"Have you really decided to concentrate on mathematics?" Qi Pengtian asked curiously.
It would be a waste of talent for a genius like Junior Brother Xu not to engage in physics.
Xu Qingzhou said: "Currently, the main focus is on mathematics. In terms of physics, it is considered amateur research."
"In April, we will cooperate with international laboratories to conduct experimental tests on a type of theoretical model that predicts that gravitational fields will cause quantum decoherence. Hey, this is the first time that a quantum satellite has been used to try to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity in the earth's gravitational field. Experimentally test the theory, junior brother, you don’t have any idea.”
Qi Pengtian's tone was filled with excitement.
Xu Qingzhou smiled and shook his head: "I have to be busy with other things, so I can only wish you all the best."
He was not that interested in experiments with low-orbit satellites.
Let’s wait to study the unification of general relativity and quantum physics until later. The top priority is to fill up the math skill points.
However, when I get back from traveling, I can do some physical things.
The three of them separated at the intersection.
Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao explained the experiment just mentioned by Qi Pengtian, "The problem of quantization of gravity has always been unresolved. In terms of gravity and quantum mechanics, theoretical physicists have proposed many explanations, but before this satellite appeared, it was basically difficult to solve it." Achieve the extreme conditions required for experiments”
"This experiment can only solve a small part of the problem, the tip of the iceberg. For example, it excludes the phenomenon of entanglement decoherence caused by gravity predicted by the "event form" theory."
Song Yao was good at physics in high school. Although she was not a physics student in college, she could still understand the content. She lamented her boyfriend's abnormality: "You seem to understand everything?"
"Of course, no one knows quantum mechanics better than me."
"Xu Qingzhou, can't you be more modest?"
"Already very humble."
The sun has risen, and the orange light falls on the earth. The shadows of the two young people are stretched very long.
Yandong Garden.
"Hoo~"
At 8 o'clock in the evening on January 30, the two of them returned to their familiar den, feeling relaxed. Even Song Yao lay down on the sofa to rest.
The only energetic cat in the family, the second cat who had just been brought back from the foster home, was wandering around the room with his tail wagging, full of energy.
From the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to the great science and technology, the two of them came back from the northwest and looked at the familiar streets and rooms, which really made them feel a little bit enlightened.
I am really tired, but also really relaxed.
Looking at Er Meow, Xu Qingzhou said: "I'm just saying you think too much."
During the trip, the only thing Song Yao was worried about was the second cat. She was worried that it would not be able to adapt to the new living environment. However, when they passed by, they found that this guy was having a great time with his friends.
I've been neutered, so I don't have to worry about running into litter cats.
Song Yao glanced at Ermiao. This was already a mature kitten.
She leaned on the sofa and poked Xu Qingzhou with her toes: "You can go take a shower."
Xu Qingzhou nodded, took out the toiletries from the suitcase, and went to the room to get clothes, "Really don't want to go together?"
"I don't want to!"
"Save water, hey, young people really don't know how to save water."
Xu Qingzhou sighed.
Song Yao curled her lips and didn't want to pay attention to him. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her parents to report that they were safe, and then sent a message to Ms. Wang.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the night was already dark. Outside the window, the lights of thousands of houses were swaying. Xu Qingzhou sat at his desk and opened a third of Fourier's classic analysis, co-authored by analytical mathematics masters Elias M. Stein and Guido Weiss. "Introduction to Fourier Analysis of Euclidean Spaces".
Song Yaozheng was on the phone with Li Daiyue.
"Well, I'll go over the data tomorrow. Okay. Goodbye, professor."
After ending the call, Song Yao turned on the computer and received the information from Professor Li. The work accumulated during this period had to be slowly made up.
The two of them were busy with their own affairs.
until 11 o'clock.
When Xu Qingzhou picked up his pen and was about to do a calculation, his white and tender feet rubbed against his calf.
"Are you tempting me?"
"Accidentally."
"Yeah."
After a while, the foot on the other side rubbed against me again.
Xu Qingzhou was unmoved. Although this guy was a little moved, the expression on his face was very calm. He thought that this tsundere should be treated properly.
Song Yao roughly understood that this dog man did it on purpose and reminded: "Xu Qingzhou, it's time to go to bed."
"I don't want to sleep yet." Xu Qingzhou was still reserved.
Song Yao stood up, walked over, hugged Xu Qingzhou from behind, pressed half of her body on his back, and whispered in his ear: "Teacher Xu, go to bed."
"Rather than sleeping, I want to swim in the ocean of knowledge now."
Xu Qingzhou was very happy, but still reserved.
"Teacher Xu~"
"Not sleepy yet."
"."
“You really don’t want to sleep?”
"Don't sleep."
"Well, now."
"You said that. I'm really sleepy. But if you don't take your hand off my waist first, you'll have to use it tonight."
