Chapter 672 Unique!

While the Science and Technology Institute organized experts and academicians to conduct research and discussion on the "Large-Scale Lunar Comprehensive Base Project", on the other side, Jinling, Xu Chuan also ended his short rest and took the high-speed rail to Beijing.

The first phase of the Xinghai manned lunar landing project has come to a perfect end. They have achieved the development that the Republic has dreamed of for decades and have taken the first step towards the universe. Naturally, there will be a grand commendation conference.

In the dignified and majestic Great Hall, the auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people was full.

Those who can sit here today are all members who have made efforts and contributions in this manned space flight and lunar exploration project.

There are middle and senior management personnel of manned space flight and lunar exploration projects, as well as grassroots staff and engineers and technicians. Everyone's contribution is seen and kept in mind, and the commendation conference will naturally not leave out these ordinary and great people.

Of course, in addition to these people, there are also academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering who participated in this commendation conference, senior officials of departments related to manned space flight and lunar exploration projects, and some social entrepreneurs who provided help for this manned space activity, etc.

It is undoubtedly a grand event worthy of national celebration to leave China's footprints in the deep space that has been longed for since ancient times. It is even more worthy of sending a strong blessing and applause to all heroes and meritorious officials.

With the dignified opening remarks and warm applause from the host, the manned lunar landing project commendation conference officially kicked off.

Then, a gentleman with a majestic face walked to the front and stood on the podium.

With the appearance of this person, the surging applause once again resounded throughout the auditorium like a tide.

He stood on the stage, looking at the crowd below, waiting for the applause to gradually subside, and then he slowly spoke in a solemn and steady voice.

"In 1956, the Fifth National Defense Research Institute was formally established, and our aerospace industry officially set sail;"

"In 1970, the first artificial earth satellite "Dongfanghong-1" was successfully launched, and we became the fifth country in the world that could independently launch artificial satellites;"

"In 1984, the first communication satellite was launched, marking the entry of my country's satellite communication business from the experimental stage to the operational stage;"

"In 1992, the manned space program code-named "Project 921" was officially launched, chasing the dream of the sky, dreaming of the Tiangong, and the "three-step" strategy of the manned space program was successfully concluded."

"In 2003, the Shenzhou V manned spacecraft was launched, carrying Yang Liwei and the successful launch of the Shenzhou V spacecraft, making us the third country that can independently carry out manned space missions, and achieved a major breakthrough in the history of my country's manned spaceflight"

"In 2013, Chang'e-3 achieved the first soft landing and patrol exploration of an extraterrestrial body in my country"

The auditorium was solemn and silent. On the podium, the development of China's aerospace engineering was slowly narrated in a decade-long cycle on the stage.

Although this is just a milestone statement, everyone present can see from the words on the stage the hardships behind this world-renowned brilliant achievement.

Their aerospace personnel have made great efforts in this extremely challenging field and have also gathered extraordinary wisdom.

In the auditorium, after the Chang'e lunar exploration project was slowly described, the speaker paused for a moment, looked around the auditorium, and continued:

"After 67 years of development, and after repeated hard work and outstanding choices, we successfully landed on the moon, imprinted the footsteps of the motherland and the Chinese nation in the starry sky, and became the second country to master the manned lunar landing technology!"

"If this is a battle in the field of aerospace, then we are undoubtedly victorious!"

"Here, please allow me to represent the people of the whole country and say a word to the vast number of scientific and technological workers who have made outstanding contributions to my country's manned spaceflight cause, and all comrades who have participated in and adhered to various positions such as the development, construction and testing of manned spaceflight projects."

"Thank you! You have worked hard!"

The moment the voice fell, a tide of applause rang out in the auditorium like thunder, one wave after another, as if it would never stop.

After sending blessings and encouragement to all participants in the manned spaceflight and lunar landing projects, the person on the stage nodded and gave the speech position back to the host of the meeting.

The commendation meeting soon entered the next stage.

The first to go on stage and receive the award were naturally the three astronauts who completed the manned lunar landing. They are well-deserved heroes.

Under the stage, Yang Hanchu of the Air Force Equipment Department smiled and clapped his hands gently, sending applause and blessings to the three astronauts.

Sitting next to him, Academician Tian Xinyuan, the chief designer of the Air Force Equipment Department, clapped his hands and said with emotion: "Manned lunar landing, a dream that has been around for many years, has come true."

Yang Han tilted his head slightly and replied with a smile: "Yes, the dream of several generations has finally come true."

After a pause, he continued: "It's worthy of him, creating various miracles again and again."

In fact, what made him feel emotional was not only the perfect realization of the manned lunar landing project, but also the countless technologies that the man had created in the past.

Lithium dendrite problem, nuclear waste reuse, controlled nuclear fusion, aerospace engine

There is also the new coating material used on the J20 fighter. He only learned some time ago that the technology was also developed based on the theory and support of that person.

The stealth material that is so good that even radar cannot detect it brings them not only a new generation of full-stealth fighters, but also a national strategic force.

But for that person, this is just one of the "by-products" of the research process.

Each of these technologies is shocking, and when it comes to one person, he can't even find any words to describe it.

Amid the applause, the three astronauts stood on the stage and bowed slightly to receive the medals and military salutes.

A "First-Class Space Merit Medal" and a title of "Space Hero" are the best recognition of their contributions to the manned lunar landing program.

After the three astronauts were awarded medals, the next medals were naturally the researchers who contributed to the manned spaceflight and lunar landing projects.

Although it was three astronauts who went to the moon to complete the moon landing work, without the silent efforts of these heroes behind the scenes, they would not have created one miracle and first after another.

Sitting in the front row, after hearing his name, Xu Chuan stood up, tidied his clothes and walked towards the stage.

On the awarding platform, the person on the stage had a peaceful smile on his face. He took out a golden medal composed of a pentagon and a five-pointed star from the awarding plaque held by the etiquette lady and personally put it on Xu Chuan's chest.

This is the same "First-Class Space Merit Medal" awarded to the three astronauts before. It is the highest honor in China's aerospace field. It is also the dream of countless aerospace people.

Up to now, including Zhai Zhigang and the other three who just won this medal, the number of people who have received this medal is still no more than two digits, which shows how rare it is.

After putting the medal on the hero of the country, the person on the stage shook hands with Xu Chuan vigorously and said solemnly: "Thank you for your great contribution to the country, aerospace, and all mankind. Thank you!"

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, and replied: "You are too polite. This is what I should do."

The person on the stage held Xu Chuan's hand tightly and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the country doesn't have many medals and honors to award you now. You have already won all the top medals that can be won."

Xu Chuan looked down at the golden medal on his chest and smiled and said: "This is enough."

For him, medals are probably more like stamp collecting or collecting.

As for the glory, rights, and national support that come with the medal itself, he has no shortage of them. After all, since the completion of controlled nuclear fusion technology, his status in the country has been unparalleled.

With his current height in the country, it can be said that almost all his suggestions and ideas will be seriously discussed by the top level without exception.

The person on the stage smiled and shook his head, sighing: "Compared to your contribution, this medal is nothing."

After a slight pause, he joked: "If I give you an award next time, the medal can only be named after you."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I am looking forward to it."

This time, it was not only Xu Chuan and the three astronauts who received the "First-Class Space Merit Medal", but also Academician Chang Huaxiang and Academician Qu Mingcheng of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.

Needless to say about the former, in this manned space flight and lunar landing project, from the design and manufacture of the space shuttle to the planning of the manned space mission and the lunar landing project, all were handled by this old man.

As for the latter, although he is a big shot in the traditional chemical fuel launch vehicle system and had some different "views" with Xu Chuan at the bidding conference for the manned space flight and lunar landing project, no one can deny the contribution of this old man.

In this manned lunar landing project, the Lanyue lunar module was designed and manufactured by him personally.

Facts have proved that the Lanyue can not only help astronauts complete the moon landing and return work smoothly, but also complete the rescue mission beyond the planned load in an emergency.

Compared with the accident of the Artemis lunar module, the performance of the Lanyue lunar module can be said to have made a big splash internationally this time.

Of course, the high-level officials awarded him this "First-Class Space Merit Medal", which also recognized and rewarded the old man's past contributions.

Compared with Academician Zhu Senyuan who studied hydrogen-oxygen fuel engines, the Long March series developed by Academician Qu Mingcheng has guided the development of China's aerospace field for a long time in the past.

Whether it is various series of communication satellites, China's space station, or the Chang'e series of projects, they all rely on the support of this old man.

After receiving the medal ceremony, Academician Qu Mingcheng returned to his seat, looked at the staff who walked to the stage to receive other space medals, and looked at the "First-Class Space Merit Medal" worn on his chest, clapping gently, with complex emotions in his eyes and face.

There are feelings, happiness, relief, and a little melancholy and yearning.

Manned lunar landing is not only the goal that China has been striving for for decades, but also the dream they have been working hard for.

Now this dream has been realized, but unfortunately it is not through the technology they have studied for it.

If you say you don't care, it is impossible. As long as you are a person, you have your own obsession, but from another perspective, they are undoubtedly successful.

At least, the country has not forgotten them.

At this commendation meeting, six medals of the top medal in the field of aerospace, the ‘First-class Space Merit Medal’, were issued, and the number of ‘Second-class/Third-class Space Merit Medals’ issued exceeded double digits.

After all, this is a manned lunar landing project, the dream of countless aerospace workers in the decades since the founding of the Republic, and a great monument in the history of Chinese aerospace.

After the commendation meeting for manned space flight and lunar landing projects, the country held a grand celebration dinner for these heroes and heroes in this hall.

That person even attended the dinner in person, raised a glass and drank with everyone.

Thanks to this person, Xu Chuan was not toasted much at this banquet, nor did he get drunk, and he walked out of the banquet hall soberly.

After all, when he attended the celebration dinner, whether it was the project he led or other situations, he would basically become the core of the banquet, or one of the cores.

After the banquet, Xu Chuan returned to the Beihai Hotel, took a simple shower, and after getting rid of the alcohol, he changed into clean pajamas and lay on the bed, thinking about some things he should prepare tomorrow.

Starting from the 'Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Mechanism' project, whether it is the controlled nuclear fusion project, or the manned space flight and lunar exploration projects, he will be invited by that person to go to the Beihai Island to talk about the direction of scientific and technological development after the end.

This is a fixed 'event', and it is also his 'privilege', and it is unique.

After all, every invitation and meeting is a major turning point for the development of domestic science and technology, and even the deployment of national strategies.

Even scholars at the same academician level, even the top academicians among the academicians, rarely have such an opportunity.

Lying on the bed, Xu Chuan stared at the white wall not far away, sorting out some things he needed to talk about when he met tomorrow.

At this moment, his mobile phone, which was charging on the bedside table, rang twice.

Xu Chuan, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned his head and took the phone from the cabinet and unlocked the screen.

The one who sent him the message was senior Liu Jiaxin, and the first content was a PDF file.

He was stunned by the message on the phone, and his expression unconsciously showed a hint of surprise.

"Proof that the factorization of large positive integers has a polynomial algorithm!"
