Chapter 290 can be described as perfect
In fact, it is not particularly difficult to watch a rocket launch live. As long as you can get close to the location of the rocket launch, anyone can theoretically watch it. To the scene of the rocket launch.
However, this kind of viewing experience is not that good, because the center of the rocket launch is forbidden to outsiders. At most, you can only watch it from a few kilometers away from the rocket launch, and you cannot feel it more realistically. The atmosphere of the scene.
But Ning Chen’s viewing effect is completely different. He can get as close as possible to the rocket launch location inside the launch site while ensuring safety.
This will give viewers an immersive feeling, and they can even directly feel the huge impact of the rocket launch.
"Great! I'm going to ask for leave from the college right now. I hope the college can give me a chance to go on site."
"Don't worry, your classes are finished this semester anyway, so there shouldn't be anything." It’s a problem. This is the first rocket launch at the Zibei Space Launch Site. If you miss it, you will never have the chance to see it again.”
After telling Song Xiyun about watching the rocket launch, Ning Chen thought of something else. .
"It seems not very good if I only bring one person to the site... I'd better bring other people from the laboratory there as well."
Although only Song Xiyun and Ning had been together before Chen Chen had said that he wanted to watch the rocket launch live, but Ning Chen felt that many people would want to experience such a grand scene live.
Moreover, the people at the Zibei Space Launch Site just now told Ning Chen that they could bring a few more people there. As long as there are not too many people, there should be no problem.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen also talked about this matter with Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, and Sui Feng.
When they heard that Ning Chen actually wanted to take them to watch the rocket launch, everyone was very excited and expressed their willingness to accept the invitation and go to the scene to experience this exciting moment.
"Teacher Ning, since we are asking for leave to go to the site together this time, I have to report it to the college. However, the college should be able to approve our request. After all, this opportunity is too rare."< br>
“Yes, fortunately this time it will not be delayed too long and will not affect normal teaching and scientific research work.”
Many people may not have such an opportunity in their lifetime, so Xu Zhou and others cherish this opportunity very much.
After Xuzhou reported this matter to the college, their leave application was successfully approved.
Even Liu Xu himself wanted to go to the scene with him, but because Liu Xu was the dean of the School of Materials and had many other tasks to deal with, he really couldn't get away, so he had to reluctantly give up. Such an opportunity.
The day before the rocket was launched, Ning Chen and others got on the plane to Zibei.
On the plane, several people seemed very excited, but because there were other people on the plane, they could only chat quietly to prevent others from hearing their chat.
"Ning Chen...why did Zibei Space Launch Site suddenly invite us to watch the rocket launch?"
Hearing Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Song Xiyun, I think you should have a rough answer in your mind. In fact, the real result is similar to what you imagined."
Ning Chen will naturally not directly tell Song Xiyun that he will help Zibei Aerospace The launch site has made a new rocket launch model. After all, this is confidential content.
Song Xiyun understood that there should be many things here that were not convenient for Ning Chen to talk about, so she did not ask any more questions.
However, Song Xiyun could also guess that this was probably because Ning Chen helped Zibei Space Launch Site complete some project research, so he got such an opportunity.
A few people got off the plane. The people at the launch site had already prepared at the airport in advance and took Ning Chen and others to the launch site.
Except for Ning Chen, everyone else came to the launch site for the first time, and they were all very surprised by the scene in front of them.
Since tomorrow is the official date of the rocket launch, there are not many people waiting outside the launch site. However, it is said that many people have come to Zibei from other places just to be able to watch it at close range. Enjoy this breathtaking sight.
"Teachers, to be honest, the hotels near the launch site have been almost full these two days. We never thought that everyone would be so enthusiastic about coming to watch the rocket launch. .”
"Yes, after all, this is the first rocket launch from the Zibei Space Launch Site. Of course, in addition to the rocket launch, I think the launch location in Qiong Province is also one of the important reasons. After watching the rocket launch, you can also visit Qiong Province Having a good time is like killing two birds with one stone.”
Since there was nothing going on today, everyone walked around casually within the limits allowed by the launch site, chatting about things in the aerospace field.
“Although this space launch site is newly built, it is said that this is the future space launch center of Xia Kingdom. Because of the advantage of low latitude, it is easier to launch rockets here than other space launch sites... …”
Xu Zhou obviously has a certain understanding of the situation in Xia Guo’s aerospace field, and he started talking here.
"Teacher Xu, we will try to study some materials related to the aerospace field in the future and make our contribution to the aerospace industry of the motherland."
Hearing what Sui Feng said, Xu Zhou felt that maybe Ning Chen had quietly completed this work at some point.
“Okay, let’s go back and do some research to see if we can start a subject related to aerospace materials. Let’s wait until the next time we watch the rocket launch, and we will try to have the materials we developed on the rocket!”
Xu Zhou specifically said these words in front of Ning Chen, just to see if Ning Chen would react, but Ning Chen's expression was very calm, as if he was really not involved in any work of this rocket launch.
After several people walked around the launch site, Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, and Sui Feng all went back first, leaving only Ning Chen and Song Xiyun at the launch site.
Since it was the first time to meet Xu Zhou and the others, Song Xiyun was not very familiar with anyone except Ning Chen. She didn't say much just now, and she was more listening to other people chatting.
"Ning Chen... I didn't expect that you could really fulfill my wish."
Song Xiyun only mentioned this matter to Ning Chen at the beginning, and didn't really have high hopes, but After Ning Chen told her about this matter, Song Xiyun knew that Ning Chen had always taken her wish to heart.
"It's nothing. I happened to have this opportunity, so I brought you here with me. However, the launch site has also said that we hope that we can bring them some new research results through our own abilities in the future. "
Of course, the people at the space field didn't really say that. The reason why Ning Chen said this was just to make their invitation this time more reasonable.
However, Song Xiyun took Ning Chen’s words seriously and replied seriously:
"Yes, such an opportunity is really rare. I have to study what mathematical knowledge can be helpful for rocket launches when I go back."
In this way, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun kept walking around the launch site. , until it was getting dark, the two of them returned to their respective rooms.
Due to work reasons, it was difficult for Ning Chen to have time to enjoy such a relaxed state. However, during the time spent with Song Xiyun, Ning Chen really felt relaxed throughout his body. The next day, everyone got up early and prepared to watch today's rocket launch.
“Wow, I didn’t expect so many people to come outside. This rocket launch really attracted a lot of attention.”
Outside the launch site, there were already crowds of tourists from all over the country to watch the rocket launch. This is enough to prove how important the rocket launch is in their hearts.
Of course, watching a rocket launch from outside is definitely much different than inside the launch site, and Ning Chen and the others can enjoy the best viewing angle.
"Teachers, do you want to watch the rocket launch outside or in the control center?"
In the control center, you can watch the rocket from various angles through the central control screen. Launch scenario.
However, Ning Chen and the others prefer to watch from outside, so as to have a more live atmosphere.
"We are all here, so there is no need to stay indoors to watch. Please take us to a suitable place outside."
"Okay, I will take you to the best viewing position. Yes, of course it is very safe here, but because it is relatively close to the rocket launch location, you will feel the impact of the rocket launch."
"This is the best, don't worry, ours. His physical fitness is good enough and he will not be affected by the impact of the rocket," Ning Chen said with a smile.
To be able to withstand the intensity of engineering experiments, it goes without saying that Ning Chen’s physical fitness must be better than average.
Although Song Xiyun is a girl, she has excellent physical fitness that is not inferior to that of men because of her long-distance running habit.
Following the guidance of the staff, Ning Chen and others arrived at the target location and were ready to watch the rocket launch.
Ning Chen had to admit that this was indeed a perfect place to watch the rocket launch. From here, you could clearly see the main body of the rocket. Even Ning Chen felt that the distance was too close.
But out of trust in Zibei Space Launch Site, Ning Chen knew that this distance was definitely safe enough.
Unconsciously, the staff responsible for the rocket launch have completed the final inspection work and are about to enter the countdown stage for launch.
This rocket launch mission is not a simple experiment, but to send a satellite into space, which is also part of the Beidou project.
As the countdown began, the air in the entire launch site seemed to freeze, and everyone focused on the launch pad.
"Five...four...three...two...one...ignite!"
The moment the countdown reached zero, the bottom of the rocket burned instantly, and the entire launch The field was also illuminated even brighter by the flame.
“I didn’t expect...watching the rocket launch from close range, I can really feel such a powerful impact!”
Xu Zhou was a little surprised by this real feeling. If the distance was If the center of the rocket launch were closer, they might really be blown away by the impact.
Ning Chen enjoyed this feeling very much, which was something he couldn't experience watching a rocket launch on TV.
“Look, the rocket has taken off!”
With a deafening roar, the rocket slowly left the launch pad and flew towards the distant sky.
At this moment, the people watching the rocket launch excitedly shouted in celebration.
Even though the entire rocket launch process is not over yet, everyone can see that this rocket launch was very smooth.
As time passed little by little, the rocket successfully completed various separation processes and entered the atmosphere.
It was not until the rocket in the sky could no longer be seen with the naked eye that everyone reluctantly left the launch site, and still did not get over the excitement.
Just when Ning Chen and others were about to go back to their room, a staff member from the launch site walked over to them.
"Dear teachers, our leader invites you to come to the control center and talk about this rocket launch."
Hearing what this staff member said, everyone felt a little bit Accident.
After all, this time, they only came to watch the rocket launch, and at most they were guests of the launch site. However, they did not expect that they would be invited to the control center before the launch was officially over.
Ning Chen was not as surprised as others. After all, Ning Chen had helped the launch site make a new rocket launch model. Through the process he just watched, Ning Chen also saw that this rocket launch was Already used my own model.
Both Xu Zhou and Song Xiyun had speculated before that Ning Chen should have helped the launch site complete some scientific research projects, and the words of the staff just now further confirmed their conjecture.
"Okay, let's go there."
Ning Chen naturally would not refuse such an invitation, because Ning Chen also wanted to continue the cooperation with the launch site.
Arriving at the control center, the leaders of the launch site greeted Ning Chen and others one by one.
“I’m really glad that all the teachers can come to the scene and watch the rocket launch process. You are all top talents in Xia Guo’s scientific research community. I believe that we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future.”
Hearing this, Marshal Yuan and Sui Feng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Judging from the scientific research results of Ning Chen, Xu Zhou and Song Xiyun, they can indeed be regarded as the top talents in the country. However, both Yuan Shuai and Sui Feng are still students. Even if they can stay in school in the future, their results will be very low. There is a slight difference.
"We also very much hope to have such an opportunity. If I guess correctly, this rocket launch should be very successful, right?" Ning Chen asked.
In the control center, Ning Chen could clearly see the various data of the rocket launch. With his understanding of these data, Ning Chen knew that the launch process could be described as almost perfect.
