Chapter Ninety-Four: The Face Is Really Big

After Nan Ming and his party went in, Director Zhang stared at Nan Ming's back for a long time, unable to hide his excitement.

Seeing that Nan Ming and the others had boarded the tour bus and disappeared, Director Zhang sighed.

"Oh, I didn't even shake hands just now."

Director Zhang knew that Nan Ming came in low-key disguise and didn't want to attract attention, but for Director Zhang, or for every aviation and astronaut, Nan Ming is an existence worth looking up to.

Especially after paying attention to Silence all the way, and now seeing the performance of Little Bench No. 1, Director Zhang has a faint feeling that he regards Nanming as an idol.

When I saw Nan Ming, my mood was probably the same as seeing a superior leader come to inspect.

Director Zhang said that he was waiting for someone, but it was not entirely an excuse. He was indeed waiting for someone. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and stood outside the door for a while.

At this moment, another seven-seater commercial vehicle drove over from a distance. Someone waved to stop the vehicle after a long distance, but the commercial vehicle ignored it and continued on its way.

The abnormal behavior made the guards in charge of the security work tense up, rushed out of the road, and raised their guns to intercept.

"Is it really allowed to visit here? Why do you think it's not right?" In the car, Director Zhang looked puzzled at the people outside waving to stop the car.

"Hey, whoever said that you are not allowed to visit, I have been here many times." Chu Liangcai waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay! Look at the broken car in front, didn't you also go in?"

Chu Liang was just on the way when he saw Liu Tianyun's broken car. If it wasn't for the speed limit, he would have caught up to it long ago.

"But the outside seems to be stopping us."

"Don't worry about them, if you don't let them in, I'll take you halfway up the mountain to make sure you have a better view." Just as Chu Liang finished speaking, he suddenly saw a few guards pointing their guns at him, and he was so frightened that he stopped the car , with a crunch, stopped in the middle of the road.

Director Zhang at the back was looking around when he hit his head directly on the front seat, and he let out a scream.

"Director Zhang, are you alright... what are you doing?" Before Chu Liangcai finished caring for Director Zhang, the car door was opened, and several soldiers rushed out and dragged them down and pressed them to the ground.

"Two suspected dangerous people have been caught, and we are investigating." An officer reported in a low voice, and then dragged the two of them into the jeep next to him. A soldier checked the car and drove away. , The road suddenly became empty again.

Chu Liangcai was still yelling: "What are you doing! Do you know who I am? Why did they just get into me... Ouch, why did you hit someone... Ah, my nose!"

Director Zhang looked ahead and turned a blind eye to the commotion. There was an attack on the train station in Lin Province some time ago. Since then, the security level of the launch center has been much higher. No matter who these people are, they probably need to eat Bitter.

As soon as Chu Liangcai and the two were dragged away, a few more cars came at the end of the road. Seeing Director Zhang waiting outside the door, the car stopped quickly, and a few people got off. The leader laughed and said, "Who else is there today?" The leader is coming, but Director Zhang is not preparing to launch, but is waiting outside the door."

"Isn't this waiting for Mr. Wu!" Director Zhang stepped forward to shake the man's hand and said haha.

"Don't dare, dare not!" Wu is always the vice president of a company under the Aerospace Group. This satellite launch carried several satellites, one of which was a product of Wu's head office.

The relationship between the Aerospace Corporation and the satellite launch base is quite complicated. Although they belong to different ministries and commissions, they are almost indistinguishable from each other in actual work, showing the phenomenon that there is me in you and you in me. For example, Liu Tianyun, In fact, it is also affiliated with the Aerospace Corporation.

Mr. Wu is still very nervous about this launch, because the first half of 2015 can be said to be a disaster year for the aerospace industry.

Just this past May, the Russian Proton-M/Breeze-M rocket carrying the Mexican Satellite-1 (Mexsat-1) was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and crashed shortly thereafter.

In the following June, Elon Musk's spacex company, which is legendary in the world and promoted as the prototype of "Iron Man", also experienced a launch failure.

Elon Musk is already good at hype, good at catching people's attention, and has attracted wide attention all over the world.

This launch should have been the absolute protagonist in June, attracting the attention of the whole world. However, on June 28, the whole world was bathed in various news produced by the Silence. SpaceX, which was supposed to be the protagonist, actually become uninterested.

However, SpaceX still found a way to make a big news. Without him, this company experienced a spectacular failure. At 22:21 on June 28, the Falcon-1.1 rocket carrying the "Dragon" (Dragon) spacecraft from the card Launch from the Cape Naveral Spaceport. More than 2 minutes after launch, the rocket had an accident. From fuel leakage to explosion, only a few seconds passed.

Although the explosion did not cause damage to the spacecraft, and the telemetry signal of the spacecraft was still normal before it fell into the Atlantic Ocean, this failure still cast a shadow over SpaceX, the world's first private aerospace company, and space launches around the world.

Several launch failures have caused insurance companies to increase their insurance coverage. Faced with rising costs and risks, many companies and countries have suspended their plans to launch their own spacecraft, and the international aerospace market has encountered a wave of cold.

And now that Russia and the United States are the two major aerospace powers, the shadow of launch failure has not yet dissipated. As the fourth force in the world with launch capabilities besides the United States, Russia, and Europe, our aerospace industry is under great pressure.

Especially this launch is the so-called "golden rocket", the Long March 3 rocket that has never had a launch accident, this invisible pressure is even greater.

Whether the golden body of the Long March 3 can be kept intact will be a severe test.

Therefore, Mr. Wu, the vice president of the satellite company, also rushed here, hoping to see the launch with his own eyes. Even if there were any problems, he hoped that they could be dealt with in time to reduce the probability of launch failure.

In fact, long before he came, other bosses who belonged to the rocket department had already arrived. This time the launch was very special, and the security was naturally extremely strict, and it was even rare that it was not open to the public for viewing.

Nanming didn't understand this situation. Liu Tianyun took Nanming and three people to wander around the launch site and visited several exhibition halls, but found that there were no tourists in the exhibition halls.

Everywhere I went, there was only the tour guide waiting there, helping to explain, not much to say.

Curious, Liu Tianyun stopped him and asked a few questions, then turned to Nan Ming and said, "Today's launch is not open to the public. Martial law was declared this morning, and guards were set up to stop all tourists."

"Really?" Nan Ming stretched out his thumb to Liu Tianyun: "We can come in, it seems that Brother Tianyun has a lot of face!"

"Of course!" Liu Tianyun was triumphant.

Nanming asked again: "Brother Tianyun, you have such a big face, can you let us go to the command center to have a look when it launches later?"

"No matter how proud I am, I'm afraid I can't do it. I'll take you to the viewing platform later." Liu Tianyun said.

"Ask and see!" Nan Ming said.

Liu Tianyun ran to ask about it, and when he came back, he had a strange look on his face: "Damn, I really have a lot of face today!"
