Chapter 984 Dream of space travel
On October 29, Long Jianhua, Li Saipu, Zhao Hanyuan and others watched TV in the small reception room to watch the space journey of Old Green, the first second space flight in the human world. He was the first astronaut in the United States and had his first orbit around the earth in February 1962, with a 36-year interval.
This is a live broadcast. As a part of people who are determined to watch it and want to "see it" once, they also express their admiration for the hero Green.
At 350 miles above Hawaii, Old Green said to the camera, "Gratio is zero! It feels great!"
After he finished speaking these two sentences, he turned around and floated away. The commentator seemed to have noticed something, "Wow, Old Green's face was swollen. He voluntarily used his body as a test subject for the impact of space flight on aging. We should like Old Green."
"Green Old has applied to participate in the Apollo program and the Challenger spacecraft, and both were approved, but he always adhered to his strict life system and had to run, lift weights, swim every day..."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "It seems that if we want to go into space, we need to have a good body. How many of us can exercise like him? Let me show you first, I exercise every day. Although I don't swim every day, I still swim once a week."
But I made a decision in my heart: build a swimming pool in No. 7 courtyard and swim for a few kilometers every day.
Lisep shrugged, "I may not be able to catch up with our space travel. I am over fifty years old and don't like to exercise. Of course, if we can enter space within 20 years, I can still go out for a trip. At that time, it was only 73, younger than Old Green's 77."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Li Saipu, you are the dean, and the progress is mainly in your hands; so, what you said just now is simply shirking responsibility."
Desie smiled and said, "I agree with Professor Long's point of view. Lisaipu, don't forget that you are also a project member and are responsible for the provision of various semiconductor components. If you don't work hard, even if we work hard on the body design and engine design, we can't take off. I want to confirm whether you don't exercise because you don't want to go to space, right?"
Zhao Hanyuan turned his head and looked at several people, "I can tell you responsibly that our first rocket engine had completed the test from parts to the entire machine three days ago. The data shows that this engine is successful. As long as the rest of the design is completed, we can start the full arrow test."
This news surprised everyone. In less than two years, the engine has reached this point?
After the experimental data came out, he told Long Jianhua the situation as soon as possible, but most of the people present did not know.
Desie was a little depressed, "It may take some time for the body part to be used. There are difficulties in selecting materials and craftsmanship in some places."
Then he cheered up again, "But we will complete the final draft soon. It will not take more than a month."
Long Jianhua occasionally went to them and saw them constantly calculating and experimenting, and they were all very hard, and did not put pressure on her. "We are latecomers and have already learned a painful lesson. For such things, we cannot blindly pursue progress. Everything must be based on safety."
Lisaipu nodded and echoed, "We have received two satellite launch missions from five countries, and the time is relatively tight; however, everything must be based on safety. There is no security guarantee, and compensation will be paid if it fails, and people will not continue to hand over to us the order."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Don't talk about it so long. You should eat rice bite by bite, and you should walk the road step by step. In this field, we are newcomers and elementary school students. We should take every step firmly and not fall."
After watching Old Green's speech, the group ended.
Li Saipu stayed, and he smiled and said, "Dr. Long, our research institute and the group are well-known. If we promise to launch satellites next year, we can receive more launch missions."
Long Jianhua shook his head, "That's nothing. We helped others launch satellites just to accumulate some data, increase some experience, and recover some investment."
"Our goal is to travel in space, to fly to the moon, to Mars, and build a base there."
Lisaipu laughed, "I am very excited about this goal now. On October 8, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a galaxy that may have existed for 13 billion years, which made me excited for a while."
"If I could establish a base on the moon and Mars, make another breakthrough in aerospace technology, and travel to further planets, it would be possible; maybe I could jump directly to that galaxy."
As a scientist, the first thing is to dare to think, and then turn your thoughts into actions. Of course, this daring to think is not a random thought, it requires scientific basis or conforming to the laws of nature.
However, Long Jianhua didn't expect Li Saip to think so. He had never talked about such an idea in other fields...
While having supper at home, Zhengyu said, "Dad, a 77-year-old grandfather in the United States has traveled to space for the second time today."
Long Jianhua turned his head and looked at him, "What about?"
Zhengyu responded, "Many of our classmates want to be astronauts. They all wrote to the United States, hoping to travel to space on the United States rocket next time. I wrote it too."
Long Jianhua touched his head and laughed, "What are you writing to the United States for? Why don't you write to me?"
Liu Zhifei knocked Zhengyu on the head with chopsticks, "Your father and others are studying rockets and will organize space travel in the future. Didn't you say you shouldn't mine lunar minerals?"
Qinglan laughed and said, "My brother, I'm becoming stupid now. I've forgotten all this."
Zhengyu blushed, "I know dad and the others are studying, but the United States has already entered the sky. Who knows when dad and the others can get there?"
Long Jianhua nodded, "From this perspective, your idea is correct; theirs has been clear, and ours is just expectations. However, you do not believe in us, and do not believe in our wisdom."
Liu Zhifei gave him a blank look and snorted, "In expectations and reality, how many people will choose expectations?"
Zhengyu hurriedly said, "Dad, mom, things are not that complicated. First of all, people may not agree to us to go; secondly, if we do space tourism first, we will not go there."
Qinglan turned her head and looked at him, "Seize every opportunity. Brother, you have to go."
Liu Zhifei asked, "Brother Hua, it seems that this project has been established for a long time. How is the progress?"
Long Jianhua responded, "The test of a single engine has been completed and the expected results have been achieved."
Zhengyu swallowed the food in his mouth, "It will take a long time to go to heaven."
