Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2535 Hello, have you eaten?
Two days later, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Early in the morning, Yang Xiaotao followed Ran's father to the underground research base.

At this point, the place that was somewhat empty two days ago now had a rocket lying across it.

There is also a large iron ball with a diameter of one and a half meters next to it, which is the Practice No. 1 developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and ready for launch.

The two men came over and greeted the people who were doing maintenance and installation.

"Old Wang, what's going on here?"

When Ran's father came over, Wang Xuebin was leading people to do the final check.

"Don't worry, the self-destruct device is working properly and will not fail when it is used."

Father Ran turned his head away and said, "It's best not to use it."

Wang Xuebin leaned back in a chair and said, "Of course I know I don't have to use my best skills, but I can't show my strength at all."

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, Uncle Wang, I think you are destroying yourself here. Not only do you not have any chance to show your abilities, but you also get the reputation of a self-destructive director for nothing. It will be so embarrassing if people tell others about it."

"Why don't you come to our ninth department and get that satellite phone? I'll give you the same treatment as Uncle Han."

Wang Xuebin laughed without waiting for Ran's father to start scolding him, "Boy, are you so direct in poaching people?"

"What reputation? You're the one who gave me the title of Self-Destructive Director. I haven't come to you to settle the score yet."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Wang, I'm doing this for your sake."

"Okay, I'll go, you tell our leader."

"Really? I'll go and tell you then."

Wang Xuebin nodded with a smile, "Go ahead, I have no objection."

Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what was going on when he saw him like this, so he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, I'm likely to get beaten if I say this, how about you take the initiative?"

"You stinky boy, you're making me a traitor. That's how you get a bad reputation."

"What? This is called a wise bird choosing a good tree to roost in."

The two of them started chatting next to the rocket.

Anyway, one of them had nothing to do after the inspection, and the other was just a spectator. They still had time to chat while others were busy.

Wang Xuebin certainly knew what Yang Xiaotao was thinking, but his current position was far more important than the others.

Even though they are not used normally, you will need them once a problem occurs.

Otherwise, if the rocket falls into the hands of hostile forces, it will be a huge threat to the country.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to leave the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Unless arranged by superiors.

Mr. Ran naturally understood that Wang Xuebin was joking, but he didn't take it seriously and continued to check the rocket's condition.

On the other side, Shu Xingbei was busy checking the satellite with people sent by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Xiaotao finished chatting with Wang Xuebin before coming to the satellite.

Looking at the three people in front of him, the leader was his 'uncle master', Wang Can.

The other two are Wang Can’s students.

In terms of seniority, Yang Xiaotao has to call him senior brother.

After all, I started to learn from Master Qian a little late.

However, when they met Yang Xiaotao, they did not dare to call themselves senior brothers, and usually addressed him by his position.

At this moment, Wang Can was using an instrument to check the condition of the satellite bit by bit and did not notice Yang Xiaotao coming over.

This guy is really talented. If nothing else, in satellite design, he is at least as good as Master Chen.

This person is also Yang Xiaotao's 'choice of choice'.

As for the reason, he found that during these few contacts, Wang Can mentioned Mr. Ye many times in his words. What does this mean?

This shows that he is an outstanding comrade who respects teachers and education.

This kind of excellent virtue must be promoted and encouraged to be practiced.

"Uncle Master, how is it, is everything ok?"

Yang Xiaotao came over to ask, Wang Can heard the voice and looked up to see that it was Yang Xiaotao, and immediately put down the instrument in his hand, "No problem."

"By the way, can your program-controlled exchange really guarantee the reception and resolution of 3,000 signals as you said?"

As he said this, he walked to the side and looked at the machine that Shu Xingbei was debugging.

Yang Xiaotao also walked over and said proudly, "Of course."

"This calculator can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so it's not surprising that this switch can recognize and distinguish signals."

Wang Can looked at the programmable switch again and again.

Although he came with the car, this was the first time he checked this thing today.

The operating principle of the programmable switching system was also learned from Shu Xingbei.

If it is true as they say, this satellite phone may actually be made.

"By the way, you brought two phones this time? Are you going to experiment here?"

Yang Xiaotao hummed, and then said, "I brought two this time, and there are two more. One is in the Jiubu of Sijiu City, and the other left the day before. It should have reached Quancheng by now."

After hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, Wang Can felt uneasy.

He was also a participant in the affairs of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although he opposed it in his heart, he had no way to reject the collective ideas.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences did something wrong in this matter.

While the two were chatting, Shu Xingbei had already finished checking the programmable switch. He also checked the connection between the battery and the solar panel to ensure self-sufficiency after taking off.

"Military Yang, it's done, no problem."

Shu Xingbei wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was much warmer underground than outside.

It's just a bit stressful.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao came forward to take another look at it. He had to admit that this thing from heaven was made of fine quality. Even the outer shell was made of titanium alloy, and the riveting technique was obviously the work of a master.

It seems that there are many talented people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Lao Shu, there are still three hours before the launch. Please keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and gave instructions, and Shu Xingbei nodded immediately.

This time they only have this one switch, and if something goes wrong, there is no backup.

"Director Yang, have our telephones been arranged?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "I'll ask Wang Hao to take the No. 2 aircraft to the airport, and we'll give it a try then."

"Okay, I'll come find you once I'm done."

"Well, take care of yourself."

After giving some instructions again, Yang Xiaotao followed Ran's father out of the underground base and then came to the outdoors.

"There's no wind. Today's weather is nice."

Yang Xiaotao felt the surrounding environment and said casually.

Father Ran was looking at the launch pad in the distance, where a group of people were busy adding water to the reservoir, and other people were also busy.

"Come on, let's go to the observation deck."

Father Ran tightened the collar of his clothes. Although the wind had died down, the temperature was indeed lower than that in the old city.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much and followed Ran's father to the observation deck in the distance.

After entering the door, there were already quite a few people inside.

Yang Xiaotao came over and sat down.

Wang Huzi next to him was looking at the telephone on the table.

He looked up at Yang Xiaotao, then focused his attention on the phone again, "Do you think this thing can really make calls around the world?"

"No delay yet?"

When Wang Huzi heard about the little gadget Yang Xiaotao mentioned from Xu Long, he immediately became interested.

I was originally discussing main battle tanks with Yang Xiaotao, but when I saw what was in front of me, I immediately forgot about it.

He had also seen walkie-talkies in the army, but they lost signal over long distances.

Not to mention globally.

But if this thing is as Yang Xiaotao said, then victory can be decided thousands of miles away.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll just have to try it out when the time comes."

Wang Huzi thought it made sense, so he sat aside and patted his thigh and said, "If this works, make a few for us."

"no problem."

Yang Xiaotao agreed immediately, and then lowered his voice and said, "This thing can be exported, but the price is not cheap."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows to the west. Wang Huzi frowned and asked, "Will others learn this?"

"Don't worry about that. We have taken protective measures. If anyone really tries to open it, hehe."

Yang Xiaotao considered this issue when designing the satellite phone.

Therefore, in the research and design of the telephone, several hidden tricks were kept. If anyone did not listen to the advice and violently dismantled it, then the research would not be able to be completed.

Of course, it's also possible that it was broken.

And they are not responsible for repairs.

So I just had to buy a new one.

This is Yang Xiaotao’s confidence.

While the two were chatting.

Forty-nine cities and nine departments.

Li Hongfeng, Yang Youning and others were playing chess with the two old men at the top.

There was a phone on the middle table. Several people looked at the situation in front of the table from time to time, and then stood back silently.

Two cars arrived early this morning, and Mr. Chen and Mr. Peng got out of the cars.

Then he came to the office, talked briefly and played chess in Yang Xiaotao's office.

Of course, they all knew the specific reasons and were concerned about whether this experiment would be successful.

Similarly, they also want to know when the phone will ring.

As time passed, at ten o'clock in the morning, more people came to the office.

Mr. Ye brought people from the research institute over. There was limited space in the office, so everyone except Mr. Ye was standing outside.

The leaders of the nine departments were either standing or sitting, all waiting for the phone to ring.

Of course, if the phone on Yang Bu's desk rang, it would mean that they would be disappointed.

If the big guy below makes a sound, it means they have succeeded.

"Old Chen, your chess skills have declined."

President Peng seized the opportunity and attacked Mr. Chen when he was not paying attention. Mr. Chen frowned and thought of a solution.

But he said from the heart, "I'm so busy, so tired, how can I have time to do this."

"You, on the other hand, seem to have quite some free time. Are you able to come today?"

After listening to this, President Peng glanced at the other people in the room and said, "Let me see if this thing can really be used."

Mr. Chen remained silent and continued to think about what to do next.

Quancheng, No. 1 Machinery Factory.

Liu Huaimin, along with Liu Hao, who was in charge of the research, brought Unit 03 here under the escort of a group of security personnel.

As soon as everyone got off the car, they were warmly greeted by Wang Dahai.

In the specially prepared meeting room, everyone sat opposite each other.

But at this time, most eyes were on the phone in the middle.

Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.

When Wang Dahai expressed his doubts, Liu Huaimin briefly told him what he knew.

So people have the illusion that he is a "country bumpkin".

"Secretary Liu, you are not just here to verify this satellite phone, are you?"

Taking the opportunity to go out for a smoke and some fresh air, Wang Dahai asked directly.

Liu Huaimin took a deep puff of his cigarette and then explained, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

Wang Dahai smiled proudly and said, "Of course, if it wasn't so clear, how could I see Xiao Yang?"

Whenever Wang Dahai thought of the scene when he asked Yang Xiaotao to come to the machinery factory for support, he felt relieved.

If I hadn't overcome all objections, had my eagle eyes and a pair of eyes accurately found Yang Xiaotao, would their machinery factory have been in trouble all these years?
I guess it has already become just like other factories, just muddling through.

"Xiao Yang is going to work in the northwest this time, so he asked me to make the trip."

Liu Huaimin said briefly, then leaned in and said, "This time I came here, Xiao Tao, I want you to help me find out if there are any capable people in this university, and then transfer them to the Ninth Department."

"It would be best if someone has research and interest in satellites."

After hearing what Liu Huaimin said, Wang Dahai was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said in a teasing tone, "It seems that the situation with Shu Xingbei and the other guy last time made you earn a lot of money."

Liu Huaimin smiled and said, "This is what Xiao Yang meant. He said that this matter can only be handed over to you. He is worried about handing it over to anyone else."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Wang Dahai couldn't help but feel moved.

So he patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

The two talked for a while before stopping the topic and walking towards the office.

Suzhou Aircraft Factory.

Wang Hao stood aside with an anxious look on his face, glancing at the wall clock from time to time.

In comparison, Xu Long looked much more calm sitting there.

Zhang Cheng, who was fiddling with a pencil at the top, kept looking at the telephone beside him.

Could this thing really be that evil?

"It's almost eleven o'clock, why is there still no news?"

Wang Hao muttered to himself, he never thought that waiting would be so difficult.

It's just like when my wife is giving birth, I'm so anxious.

"Wang Hao, sit down."

Suddenly, Xu Long spoke.

After hearing this, Wang Hao turned around immediately and walked to the seat respectfully.

He knew Xu Long's identity and background, especially his good relationship with Yang Xiaotao, this man must not be offended.

"Let me check again."

As soon as Wang Hao sat down, he felt discomfort under his buttocks, so he checked it again according to Yang Xiaotao's method, and then leaned back in the chair and waited quietly.

launch base.

The satellite and rocket are already in the launch silo.

Yang Xiaotao stood on the observation deck with a serious expression.

Success or failure depends on this last moment. If they succeed, the nine of them will continue to become famous.

If it fails.
There’s nothing to be afraid of. At worst, we can just build our own satellite.

"Attention all departments"

As the launch commander's voice came over the radio, the people in front of the silo moved away one after another, and everyone on the scene became nervous.

Eleven twenty.

"Ten, nine, three, two, one."

"Electric fire."

As the commander's countdown ended and the ignition sounded, everyone immediately saw the Long March 1 rocket begin to ignite in front of the launch silo. Then the next second a yellow flame appeared and white water vapor instantly diffused.

The three-stage rocket began to fly upward under the strong reaction force.

In front of the observation deck, everyone looked nervous and silent.

Soon, it turned into a small black dot under everyone's telescope.

Ten minutes later, the commander's voice came, "The rocket was shut down in the final quarter, and the separation was successful."

Everyone raised their hands unconsciously after hearing this.

Ten minutes later, the commander's voice came again, "The second stage rocket was shut down, separated successfully, and the target flight is normal."

The people in the room gradually began to smile.

The last section flew for fifteen minutes before we officially separated.

The commander's voice sounded again, "The rocket separated successfully, the satellite is flying normally and is entering orbit."

"Solar panels on."

Twenty minutes later.

"The solar panels are fully opened, and all parts of the satellite are starting to operate!"

As soon as the commander's voice fell, everyone on the observation deck cheered.

Yang Xiaotao also applauded and walked quickly towards the satellite phone.

When the people around saw this, they gradually came out of their excitement and looked at Yang Xiaotao who was standing in front of the phone.

Shu Xingbei also came over, looking anxious.

Ran's father, Wang Xuebin, and Wang Huzi also came over and waited quietly.

There were more and more people around, but Yang Xiaotao was still unable to take action.

"Yang Department!"

After about three to five minutes, Shu Xingbei moved his lips and spoke.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the other person's eyes, then nodded and said, "Let me do it."

After saying that, he picked up the satellite phone on the table, checked it, and found that it had power.

Then he pulled out the antenna, took a deep breath, and dialed the phone number.

At this moment, everyone's breathing became stagnant.

Dong Dong~~~
As Yang Xiaotao dialed the phone number, a tumbling sound was heard from the receiver.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt less nervous.

Just a moment later, the phone was still ringing.

Everyone looked anxious.

Yang Xiaotao's hand holding the phone was shaking a little, for fear that it would continue ringing.

Just when he was about to change the phone to make a call, suddenly, a vague voice came from the phone.

"Is this it?"

"No, haven't you learned it?"

"I can't do it either."

"Playing the piano randomly."

There were faint sounds of many people talking, but everyone had smiles on their faces.

No matter what else, the voice was finally heard.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Yang Xiaotao immediately came forward, and with joy in his words, he shouted loudly, "Hey, hello, have you eaten?"
