After lunch, since all the main areas had been inspected, Zhao Yi accompanied them to visit the logistics and other related departments of the rocket launch center that assisted the launch.
In this way, the afternoon passed. Since the launch mission was carried out at about 6 o'clock in the morning, everyone had dinner early and then went back to rest.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Yi got up from his bed. After washing up, he went to join the inspection team and headed to the command hall of the launch center.
On the way, everyone turned a corner and took some breakfast such as steamed buns from the cafeteria, and ate them on the road while walking. At this time, figures with normal expressions but hurried steps could still be seen on the road.
When everyone arrived at the command hall, the sky outside had just turned white and the sun had not yet risen. At this time, the hall was already full of people, and some people had even come three or four hours in advance.
Although there were many people at the scene, it was not noisy. Apart from necessary communication, most of them were staring at the computer screen in front of them, which constantly displayed various data.
Although today's weather conditions have been calculated and predicted for a long time, final calculations and analysis of the weather and other matters need to be done before launch.
If it goes as expected, it can be launched. If a major accident occurs, the launch mission may be suspended.
In addition to the meteorological team, the command and liaison team is closely contacting monitoring stations across the country and other monitoring stations around the world to ensure that each monitoring station can work normally.
As outsiders, facing the serious atmosphere of the scene, everyone did not feel uncomfortable at all. They found a remote corner and looked at the busy crowd in the hall through the glass windows, feeling a little expectant in their hearts.
Time passed little by little, and finally the scheduled launch time came. All preparations were completed, and the weather and meteorological conditions were good, so the launch could be carried out according to the normal launch time.
The members of the inspection team all walked out at this time, came to the hall, and kept staring at the huge screen in front of them. Various data were currently displayed on it. All data were marked with green characters, indicating that all data were normal.
The most eye-catching thing is that the time in the center of the screen is decreasing by the minute. The members of the inspection team are getting more and more nervous, but the staff on site are busy and not nervous at all.
As the time on the screen finally returned to zero, the commander of the command center picked up the intercom and said: "Each group, please note that the first unmanned spacecraft launch will be launched in 1 minute. Please evacuate the dangerous area and all monitoring points." Please note that the launch will begin immediately."
As soon as the commander finished speaking, some data suddenly re-displayed on the screen. Above were the confirmation messages from the personnel of each functional group and the confirmation messages sent back from each monitoring point.
These new data kept changing, until the number quickly became 100%, and no red words appeared, indicating that the various groups and monitoring points outside were ready and waiting for the rocket to launch.
At this time, 45 seconds had passed, and there were still 15 seconds left before launch. The staff in the command hall seemed to be holding their breath for an instant, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard quietly.
"Attention everyone, the launch has officially begun, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition!"
As soon as the words of ignition fell, the launcher in the real-time monitoring screen of the command center immediately appeared with monstrous fire. White smoke instantly enveloped the entire launch site. The huge rocket slowly soared upwards with the blessing of power. .
After the rocket was successfully ignited and launched, the data on the display screen was even more frantic. The data above were real-time monitoring data transmitted from various detection points. All the data were green, indicating that everything was normal.
The screen that previously displayed the video of the entire rocket launch has now switched to videos of various monitoring points installed on the rocket, as well as a three-dimensional animated overall map generated by implementing monitoring data.
Basically, the members of the inspection team are not these professionals. They just watch the excitement, but Zhao Yi is different. He has very rich knowledge in this area, so after carefully reading the data on the screen, he felt much more relaxed. .
According to the data fed back now, the rocket launch was very successful. The mission of the Rocket Launch Center has been successfully completed. All that remains is to see the situation at the Guangzhou Satellite Monitoring Center.
Here we only need to launch the rocket according to the predetermined plan and send the predetermined materials into space. The rest is for the Guangzhou Satellite Monitoring Center to adjust the attitude of the satellite and send the satellite into the predetermined orbit.
Although the spacecraft is not a satellite, the principle is the same. After a few minutes, thunderous applause burst out from the scene. When the inspection team heard the applause, they knew that the rocket launch was successful.
On behalf of the government, the minister congratulated the main management in the command hall and shook hands with them to take photos. Zhao Yi stood beside him and watched them quietly as they were busy.
The delegation came here to express their affirmation of the achievements of Future Space Technology Company in space exploration and to express their support for the development of my country's aerospace industry. Their actions, such as shaking hands and taking pictures, must be published in newspapers or broadcast on TV.
As a professional and transparent person, Zhao Yi consciously gave up his C position to the management and technical backbone of the command hall as well as these government staff.
Although he is the boss, the glory of this moment does belong to all employees of Future Space Technology Company. They work hard day and night to solve every technical difficulty. The glory of this moment should belong to them.
Although the launch of unmanned spacecraft is not a new technology or a world-leading space technology, it is an important milestone for our country to officially start space exploration. It is the starting point for us to enter the universe and the starting point for our manned spaceflight career.
After the publicity work was completed, the scene fell into calm again. The scientific researchers who were still excited have returned to their seats one after another to observe the data changes on the monitor in front of them.
No matter what kind of scientific research it is, it is actually very boring, far less romantic than it sounds outside. All scientific research is actually accompanied by long and lonely nights. People who cannot suppress their loneliness are not suitable for scientific research.
After seeing this situation, the members of the inspection team consciously exited the command hall and came to the conference room next door. They needed to make an on-site summary of the inspection.
“This inspection of Future Space Technology Company is the first time for many people in our inspection team, and it gives us a relatively comprehensive understanding of our country’s aerospace technology.
Judging from the three-day inspection, our country's aerospace science and industry has firmly stood at the top of the second echelon in the world's aerospace field. It is only one step away from the first echelon of manned spaceflight.
Judging from the current situation, this goal will be achieved in the next two or three years. When the Tiangong Space Station is actually established, our aerospace science and industry will be at the forefront of the first echelon and will no longer It's at the bottom.
Here we would like to express our congratulations to Future Space Technology Company for its achievements. It is you who have enabled our aerospace science and industry to achieve leapfrog development. From before, we could only see the backs of others, and now we are only one body away.
Although Future Space Technology Company is a private enterprise, their technology is a valuable asset of our country, the cornerstone of our realization of the stars and the sea, and the guarantee that we will not miss the great voyage of space. "said the minister.
Hearing the minister's high praise for Future Space Technology Company, Zhao Yi, as the boss, immediately took over and said: "The minister was overly complimentary, although Future Space Technology Company has indeed done some useful work for our country's aerospace industry.
However, this achievement is indispensable without the strong support of the national aerospace units. Without the many talents they provide, future space technology companies will not develop so fast or go so far.
Therefore, the current achievements of Future Space Technology Company are the result of the hard work of all our country’s aerospace scientific research workers, who jointly established our aerospace science and industry building. "
Although Zhao Yi's words may sound modest to others, they are his real thoughts. Without the strong support of the national team, Future Space Technology Company will be unable to make a living without rice.
Of course, we must also thank the government for its support of private capital's participation in aerospace development. If the government does not open this field to him, even if he has great skills, it will be of no avail. He cannot go abroad to do this by himself. He does not have such a lofty internationalist spirit. .
The achievements that Future Space Technology Company has achieved today are the result of the efforts of all parties, the inclusive and open attitude adopted by all parties, and the close cooperation.
So what he said, the achievements of Future Space Technology Company are not just the achievements of this company, but the achievements jointly achieved by all astronauts in our country. They are the policy support of the government, the financial support and technical support of Zhao Yi, and they are jointly achieved. of.
"Working together to build the building of my country's aerospace science and industry" is not a false statement, it is a true portrayal of my country's current aerospace industry.
However, the members of the inspection team had a different feeling. Before coming to the Ministry of Science and Development, most of them had heard about Zhao Yi's deeds. According to external rumors, he had a relatively "isolated" personality.
In this era, the term "otaku" had not yet been invented. If this term is more accurate, although Zhao Yi's EQ and IQ are online, his personality dictates that he does not like to deal with strangers when it is not necessary.
It is precisely the "isolated" impression he gives to the outside world. The result is that people who don't know him think that he is really difficult to deal with. Unless it is a very important matter or something that must be done by him, they will find him. .
Although this prevented him from a lot of trouble, it also increasingly confirmed the rumors of his "isolated" personality, and the public opinion results were mixed.
In addition to his "isolated" personality, there is also the issue of his IQ. Since he graduated from college in just two years and studied two majors, plus he has built so many High-Tech Companies.
His IQ was talked about by the outside world. This was originally nothing, or even a very good evaluation, but combined with his "unsociable" personality, it gave people the impression of a "madman".
But after all, these are just wild guesses from people who have never interacted with him. People who have interacted with him have completely different ideas from them. Not only is his personality not "isolated", but he is also very capable of making trouble.
I dare not say anything else. In the past few days, Zhao Yi worked tirelessly to accompany the inspection team. Not only did he arrange the inspection trip properly, but he also showed no airs when communicating, giving the impression that he was a neighbor. Big boy.
Compared with other members of the inspection team, the minister had a different experience. Especially when Zhao Yi discussed some of the issues he discussed with him, as well as some suggestions that were beneficial to the country, he was always able to put his words to the point and had a very broad mind.
In particular, the technology census and technology list he proposed not only solved the problem of intellectual property inventory in our country, but also provided the basis for my country's technology openness and intellectual property commercialization operations, and also solved the problem of technology control failure due to technology openness. question.
The minister had heard before that Zhao Yi was highly appreciated by the central leadership. People who didn't know just thought that he held huge wealth in his hands and that economic development was inseparable from him, so he was taken seriously.
After contacting him in the past few days, the minister overturned his previous idea. Zhao Yi not only has huge wealth, but based on the suggestions he made, he can even be regarded as the country's top think tank. It can be said that the country's scholars are unparalleled. Not an exaggeration.
And the words he just said revealed his humble nature. This was not just intentional, but he was truly a humble person who maintained due respect for everyone.
Just now in the command hall, when the inspection team and the staff of the command center were taking photos, Zhao Yi unconsciously gave all the shots to the staff of the command center, and the minister noticed his action.
Logically speaking, as the boss of the company, he not only provided financial support to the company, but also provided very valuable technical support. It can be said that he deserves more than half of the credit for the Future Space Technology Company.
But he doesn't think so. He still remains humble and gives all honors to his employees. He even hopes that he will disappear from everyone's sight. This is very different from the current social environment.
Maybe our country has been weak for too long. Anyone who has achieved something can't wait to publicize it every day so that everyone in China can know themselves and let all the honors belong to themselves. This is the mainstream trend of thought in society at present.
But as for Zhao Yi, except for a name that appeared in necessary reports, no photos have been leaked out yet, and there is no deliberate publicity about him. It seems that he is just willing to be an invisible rich man.
But every decision, every plan, and every suggestion he makes is closely related to all the people of this country, and has a very large impact on the economy and politics of this country.
It would not be surprising if these qualities appeared in a person in his forties or fifties, but think about it. He is only 24 years old, a prime and high-spirited age, but he has the mentality of being in his forties.
He not only made great achievements in academics, but also had outstanding technical talents. He also created a huge business empire in business.
His academic achievements have gradually been forgotten by the world as time goes by. His technical talents, as he slowly leaves the front line of research and development, are gradually no longer praised by others.
Although the business empire he built affects our country's people's lives and national economic operations in all aspects, it has also achieved great success internationally and has become a major force in our country's participation in the international economy.
However, he did not participate in the front-line management of the company. He only stood in the background and made suggestions for his own industry. This made his business achievements even more invisible to the outside world.
He is a person with high IQ, high emotional intelligence, and high financial intelligence. He is also a "mature and prudent" person who thinks twice before acting. He is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, understands difficulties and easy, and stays true to his heart.
Who doesn't like such a person
It is precisely because of his many qualities that he is so appreciated by the central leadership, his industry can develop so smoothly in the country, and his people are so loyal to him.
The minister thought silently, and the other members of the inspection team also had some thoughts.
They don't know the other specific details. They haven't reached that level yet, and what they know are just fragments of information that have been circulated. Anyway, they know that Zhao Yi's status in the country is very high.
But after these few days of contact, if we ignore the blessings brought by these identities, he is a very suitable person to be friends with.
When chatting with him, everyone felt that they were respected, and there seemed to be endless topics to talk about with everyone. In short, I felt that dealing with him was a very pleasant thing.
It's just that these feelings are just their feelings. For his enemies, it is a different feeling. *** said it well, "Treat your friends as warm as spring, and treat your enemies as cold and ruthless as the harsh winter."
Since he currently spends most of his time behind the scenes and does not have many direct conflicts with the enemy, there are no incidents to prove his ruthlessness.
But his tiger beard is not easy to tame. He has beaten some people who had ill intentions before, but these people are not his enemies, they are just slightly hostile to him because of their personal interests.
If you want to experience his ruthlessness, you probably have to wait until later. As the international situation changes, conflicts of interest between countries will eventually break out.
As my country's main international trader, Zhao Yi's companies are unavoidable. They will definitely have face-to-face confrontations with governments, major business groups and major organizations. (End of chapter)
