From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The impact of the interview day lasted until the spacecraft took off, which was when the voyage plan started.

The night before, the spacecraft company confirmed the time again, and the time was accurate to the hour, and confirmed again that everything would go according to plan, and the team was ready.

The Tianhang base is already very lively. Many important decision-makers have come to the scene, including Teacher Xu and Teacher Zhao.

The leadership team will attend the farewell party of the voyage plan. They will arrive one day early to inspect the preparations, and will also have face-to-face communication with everyone who will board the ship to go to Mars.

Those whose work is important or influential will also be asked about their work cordially and enthusiastically.

Wang Hao has been following the leadership team and saw Ding Zhiqiang, Paul and others communicating with the leaders.

Ding Zhiqiang and Paul Phil-Jones were still a little excited. After all, they were asked about work issues by the leadership team, and they were asked in great detail.

Soon, Ding Zhiqiang became depressed.

He found that the leadership team was overly enthusiastic about him, perhaps because Ding Zhiqiang was Wang Hao's most promising student and was involved in many theoretical and experimental research on high-end technologies. He was also considered one of the pillars of Annihilation Technology.

Although he didn't think so, he still felt that he was just doing research with Wang Hao and had no experience in completing high-end technology research and development alone, let alone completing theoretical research alone.

In any case, the leadership team values ​​Ding Zhiqiang very much.

Teacher Xu took Ding Zhiqiang’s hand cordially and said enthusiastically, “Professor Ding, you are the future of our country!”

"You must remember that your health and safety are the most important. A successful return is a victory. You must also rest more when you get to the spacecraft..."

"Ula Ula..."

Teacher Xu continued a lot.

Ding Zhiqiang was still very happy to be personally cared for by a good leader and held hands cordially. He also asked his entourage to help take a few photos. After Teacher Xu left, it was the turn of other leaders.

Everyone in the leadership team treated Ding Zhiqiang with great enthusiasm, and the smile on Ding Zhiqiang's face quickly became stiff. He envied those who were not taken seriously and could leave after just saying a few words.

Ding Zhiqiang's emotional intelligence is pretty good. He knows how to deal with it, but Paul Phil Jones is different.

Paul Phil-Jones is also one of the people most valued by the leadership team because he is very young and is the scholar who has made the greatest contribution to theory and technology besides Wang Hao.

Paul Phil-Jones also became a naturalized flower grower and truly became his own person.

However, his emotional intelligence did not improve much. The initial excitement quickly disappeared, and he had become sitting alone in a corner. No matter who came over, he looked like no strangers were allowed to enter.

The few Shinobu who came over on their own initiative smiled bitterly and didn't know what to do, so they just decided to make fun of themselves.

There is no surprise for Wang Hao. Paul Phil Jones is such a person. It is really impossible for him to make hypocritical greetings. However, geniuses all have personalities, and Paul Phil Jones does have the ability to be unique. .

September 1st is here.

Some reporters who were authorized to conduct interviews had already entered the base at three o'clock in the morning and were waiting in the designated area of ​​the square.

At 4:55, facing the rising sun, a flag-raising ceremony was held in the square.

There is no flag-raising ceremony on weekdays. The national flag is only changed once a week, but today is a different day. The base also specially organized a flag-raising ceremony. They were also professional flag-bearers sent by the military. They walked with determination. And steady steps completed the solemn ceremony.

During the flag-raising ceremony, members of the leadership team, the management of the spacecraft company, and the management of the technical department were all present. Wang Hao simply stood with Teacher Xu and sang the national anthem vigorously.

After the ceremony, it was already half dark, and the base began to get busy.

The members of the leadership team went back to rest temporarily, while the personnel related to the plan were responsible for various matters.

Cleaning up the space around the spacecraft is the key point. It must be ensured that there are no equipment or personnel nearby, and there are no combustibles on the ground. The ground conditions must be carefully checked, etc.

Other work has already been done.

When the time reached eight o'clock, the farewell ceremony of the voyage plan was held in the center of the square.

All those involved in the voyage plan gathered in two rows under the stage.

The leader spoke to the audience, explained the importance of the voyage plan, explained everyone's expectations for the plan, and wished the plan a success.

After that, two more leaders came to power, namely Teacher Zhao from the military and Teacher Xu from the science and technology department.

If the space agency has a new decision-maker, the new decision-maker will definitely take the stage to speak. The spacecraft is for navigation within the solar system and is a "work matter in the aerospace field." The space agency is also the most important cooperative organization of the spacecraft company. The aerospace industry It's natural for the bureau's decision-makers to take the stage.

Unfortunately, Teacher Zhu retired, and the space agency still has no new decision-maker.

However, everyone thinks that Mr. Zhu retired at the right time. If the person in charge of the space agency appeared on this occasion to speak, it would be very embarrassing. After all, the spacecraft belongs to the spacecraft company, not the space agency.

Whenever they think of the voyage plan, many people think of the space agency, and then find that the space agency... seems to have little significance.

The speeches of various leaders took up half an hour, and there were so many words that made people feel drowsy.

Next up was the management of the spaceship company. Zang Chunlai came up and said a few words, which were not so official in content. They also expressed his confidence in the plan and wished all those involved in the plan a safe return.

There is no conflict between the success of the plan and the safe return of personnel. It does not mean that if the plan is successful, everyone can return safely.

The voyage plan is to carry out a voyage in the universe. Even if there is gravitational field technology to assist in simulating the earth's gravity environment, some people may still not adapt to it after a long time, and the body's reaction will be greater, and even major diseases may occur during the process. possible.

Think about it from another perspective, even if you take a boat, some people will have severe seasickness.

Spaceships, of course, not to mention.

Wang Hao was the last one to speak on stage. He had already noticed that many people were impatient, so he smiled and said a few words, "I have said everything that needs to be said. I have nothing to say anymore."

"Let me just say this: Everyone, prepare to enjoy the journey. It will definitely become a lifelong experience for any of you!"

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he walked off the stage directly, but the audience burst into the warmest applause, mainly because what Wang Hao said was very simple and did not take up time at all. They had already wanted to move to the next step.

The next part is for the leadership team, Wang Hao and the management of the spacecraft to go to the stage and shake hands with everyone.

At this time, the live TV broadcast continues, with cameras following the whole process, and the host will also introduce everyone's name in detail.

Some people just pass by and only have a name and representative country or institution.

Some are highlighted.

For example, the column prepared a short introduction about Korot James, "Krot James is the former project leader of the Groom Lake Project. He discovered annihilation ray technology while studying strong annihilation force fields. This This is a remarkable achievement abroad, but before this, the anti-gravity center did not disclose the relevant technology."

"Now he is participating in the voyage plan on behalf of the famous Monade Company, and will be engaged in biotechnology research in the spacecraft."

Paul Phil-Jones’ introduction is, “In the field of annihilation physics, apart from Wang Hao, he is one of the best physicists. He is also a young Nobel Prize winner. He has participated in many R\u0026D related to annihilation technology and contributed to the development of science and technology. made a significant contribution.”

"In addition, Professor Jones is also the chief technical advisor on board the SpaceX spacecraft."

Ding Zhiqiang said, "Professor Ding is a student of Academician Wang. His research with Academician Wang has also produced many results, and his theoretical and technical contributions have been huge..."

I said several more words later, but what everyone remembers is 'Wang Hao's student'.

This is also where Ding Zhiqiang feels depressed.

No matter how many R\u0026D contributions he has made, when he is mentioned, he is always mentioned as Wang Hao's student. Unless one day he can complete a major R\u0026D on his own, it will be very difficult to get rid of this title.

Perhaps, even after major research and development is completed, others will still talk about Wang Hao.

The welcome ceremony is over, and the spacecraft is ready to go.

All boarding personnel walked towards the direction of the spacecraft and entered the spaceship in an orderly manner. The TV showed the footage of the personnel entering the spacecraft and the leadership team waving in the direction of the spacecraft.

After all personnel entered the spacecraft, the screen switched to the internal console.

This is footage from a camera inside the spacecraft.

On the other side is the ground control center.

Wang Hao sat together with Teacher Xu, Teacher Zhao and others, watching the control and command takeoff process in the back row.

This is not the first time that a spacecraft has taken off, but the docking inspection before takeoff is still very complicated. The camera only focuses on the key parts. In fact, many people are involved in the work.

Zhu Qiqiang is the commander of the ground control center. After receiving the data reported by various departments, he decisively shouted the command order, "Take off, prepare!"

"Ignite, countdown to ten seconds."

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

"3."

"2."

"1!"

There was a buzzing sound coming from the scene, and a large amount of light emerged from the spaceship under the lens. Ordinary camera lenses could not see anything at all. It could only be seen clearly from the radar perspective that blocked most of the light. The spaceship rose slowly.

From the perspective of the radar lens, everyone watched as the spacecraft slowly lifted off and then accelerated into the sky, and quickly disappeared from the ground's perspective. A control dialogue came from the screen -

"Speed ​​165, normal acceleration."

"Energy supply, stability!"

"Heat feeling, stable!"

"The temperature is 5600 degrees Celsius, and the rising speed is controllable!"

"Keep accelerating!"

"everything is normal……"

The live TV broadcast ends here. Later, the spacecraft will be introduced to perform the mission of releasing large satellites, but it is just an introduction and there is nothing special to pay attention to.

In fact, the work of releasing satellites is not difficult for the spacecraft. The large satellites they release are all geosynchronous orbit types. When they reach an altitude of 36,000 kilometers above the ground, they open the cabin of the satellite equipment and use brackets to lift the satellites. Just release them one by one.

The release process is simply to move the satellite out of the spacecraft, and the satellite can use its own energy to control and slowly push it to a fixed position and height.

There is no danger in this process.

From this moment on, the job of the control center is to receive information from the spacecraft at any time and ensure that the spacecraft is operating stably. After the spacecraft truly enters space and begins its journey to Jupiter, everything is controlled by the spacecraft crew. Take charge.

The captain of the Tianhang spacecraft is Huang Youkun, who bears very heavy mission pressure.

All problems encountered by the spacecraft require Huang Youkun to make decisions. Even if it is an established plan, Huang Youkun has the right to modify the plan and make command changes.

This is "the general is outside, and military orders are not obeyed."

Huang Youkun's most important job is to ensure the safety of the spacecraft and bring everyone back to Earth as much as possible. All work tasks are based on safety.

…

The SpaceX spacecraft has officially entered its journey to Jupiter. The job on the ground is to receive information and pay attention to the situation of the spacecraft at any time.

Others will also be concerned about the situation of the spacecraft, but their concern is useless. The farther the spacecraft is from the earth, the longer the communication delay will be. By the time the spacecraft reaches Jupiter, it will be about 680 million kilometers away from the earth. The signal reception delay is more than 40 minutes, and a simple call can take more than an hour.

Other staff still felt a lot more relaxed. After the spacecraft left the base, they had nothing to do.

Wang Hao continued to stay with the leadership team, and he was accompanied by the company's general manager Zang Chunlai.

The leadership group was very interested in the development of the spacecraft company. One leader asked, "Academician Wang, as far as I know, the biggest profit point of space activities now is satellite launch services. This time the spacecraft released satellites, there are also many Service charge?"

"About 13 billion flower coins." Wang Hao roughly said a number.

This number surprised the leadership team.

The work of releasing satellites by the spacecraft is just incidental, but it turns out that it can earn more than 10 billion in one go, which sounds incredible.

Zang Chunlai explained, "Large-scale satellite launch services are a monopoly technology. We have received several orders. In fact, the price in kilograms is already very favorable."

"For large satellites, the performance of one can be as good as a dozen small satellites. Companies with satellite launch needs hope to be able to manufacture large satellites. The one-time launch speed is fast, there is no need to wait in line, and the unit price is much cheaper. ."
