Director Lu said: Chief, Mr. Cheng suddenly came to visit you...

When Mr. Song heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xia Ruofei said directly: "Grandpa Song, are there any visitors? You go and receive them! We are our own, it doesn't matter."

Mr. Song said with a trace of apology: "Ruofei, this is Academician Cheng Rulong. I am about the same age as him and have a very good personal relationship with him. It is really hard to refuse..."

Director Lu also explained at the side: "Ruofei, the chief knew that you were coming today and postponed all the schedules. However, Academician Cheng never needs to make an appointment to see the chief. This... is also a coincidence..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Grandpa Song, then you can meet with Academician Cheng! Well... I have to avoid it for a while! Director Lu, please arrange a place for me to stay for a while!"

Mr. Song waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Cheng Rulong is not an outsider either. You just need to meet us too...Xiao Lu, please invite Academician Cheng in quickly!"

"Yes!" Director Lu said and quickly walked outside.

"Grandpa Song, isn't it really inconvenient?" Xia Ruofei looked at Mr. Song and asked, "As far as I know, Academician Cheng's research field is related to ballistic missiles and aerospace. In case he and you need to discuss some secrets It would be inappropriate for me to be there..."

Mr. Song said with a smile: "Ruofei, I am a retired person, how can Cheng Rulong really talk about those confidential things with me? Besides... I don't understand professional things, why is he telling me? Just relax! Rulong often comes to see me, sometimes just to play chess, chat, and drink tea. How can there be so many important national affairs to talk about?"

"Oh... okay then!" Xia Ruofei said.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Before Xia Ruofei saw anyone, he heard an angry voice: "Haha! Old Song, I am an uninvited guest here to drink tea again!"

"Come on, come on! I happen to have a junior who brought me a lot of good tea! Drink whatever you want, you will definitely not be exhausted this time!" Mr. Song also responded with a smile on his face.

Then, he smiled and said to Xia Ruofei: "What did I say? This guy is just here to drink tea."

At this time, Director Lu brought a fat old man across the courtyard and walked in. Xia Ruofei looked carefully and saw that the person coming was none other than Academician Cheng Rulong.

Xia Ruofei knew that the white-haired old man in front of him who looked a little fat was actually a senior expert in the military and enjoyed the treatment of a general. It was just that he was not wearing a military uniform today.

Mr. Song also stood up and took two steps forward. Xia Ruofei naturally did not dare to neglect and stood up accordingly.

"Old Cheng, you have such a sharp nose! Did you come here smelling the fragrance of tea?" Mr. Song said with a smile, "I, a junior, just brought me some good tea, and you showed up right away!"

Cheng Rulong looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Hey! Are there really guests here? Old Song, I'm being a bit presumptuous!"

"No way!" Mr. Song said, "This is one of my juniors, a member of my family. By the way, he brought the tea here. It's thanks to him that you can drink good tea today!"

Xia Ruofei quickly stepped forward and shouted with a hint of respect: "Hello, Academician Cheng, my name is Xia Ruofei, and I am Grandpa Song's junior..."

Cheng Rulong nodded to Xia Ruofei with a smile and said, "Well! Old Song told me about you, you are a good boy!"

"You've given me the award!" Xia Ruofei said.

At this time, Mr. Song greeted: "Stop talking standing around, come and sit down! Ruofei, don't be idle either, I'll leave the task of making tea to you today!"

"No problem!" Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, then walked over and sat behind the tea tray, and started making Kung Fu tea with ease.

Mr. Song said to Cheng Rulong with a smile: "Old Cheng, this junior of mine is from Southeast Province, which is a big province in tea! He is very good at making tea! You are in for a treat today!"

"I've heard you praise it several times. I want to try it. What's the difference between this young man's tea and yours?" Cheng Rulong said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei had a smile on his face and did not speak. He just made tea seriously. He completed a set of Kung Fu tea procedures with special fluidity and seemed to have a special rhythm, which made people feel very comfortable watching it.

After a while, the whole room was filled with the scent of tea.

Cheng Rulong sniffed and said, "This fragrance seems to be really stronger!"

At this time, Xia Ruofei had already made tea. He poured the clear tea soup from the fair cup into the tea cup, then gently pushed it in front of Mr. Song and Cheng Rulong, and said with a smile: "Please, two elders, have tea!"

Mr. Song and Cheng Rulong nodded and picked up the tea cups at the same time. First they smelled the aroma of the tea, closed their eyes and felt it for a while, then put it to their mouths and took a sip.

The two of them let out a sigh of contentment at the same time, and then Cheng Rulong said: "It's really a good craftsmanship! The aroma of this tea is very special! It makes people have a long aftertaste!"

"This is Ruofei's skill. It's obviously the same tea and the same water, but I just can't get the taste out of it."

"Grandpa Song, thank you very much. It's just that practice makes perfect!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "You two will try the second brew tea later. There will be some subtle changes in the taste..."

"Okay, okay!" The two of them nodded at the same time.

Just like that, the three of them sat around the tea table, Xia Ruofei making tea with ease, and the three of them chatted while sipping the tea.

Mr. Song was indeed right. Cheng Rulong would not come here to talk to him about the parameters of those high-precision missiles. Everyone was talking about major national events and current news.

However, as we chatted, the topic unknowingly turned to the direction of Cheng Rulong's research. Of course, it was just casual chat and did not involve confidential content.

"Lao Cheng, we have another batch of astronauts entering space some time ago, and the performance of the Chang-2 rocket is as stable as ever!" Mr. Song said with a smile, "You, the pioneer, are also indispensable!"

In fact, the principles of rocket technology and missile technology are the same. Cheng Rulong is definitely the well-deserved founder of China's aerospace industry. He is a leader among the first generation of Chinese aerospace science and technology workers. He is still responsible for many related scientific research tasks even at the age of 80. .

And the backbone of today's manned space rocket system can be said to be Cheng Rulong's disciples.

Therefore, Mr. Song's words are not flattery, they are completely realistic.

Cheng Rulong was also very happy after hearing this. He said with a smile: "Our country's aerospace industry has indeed developed very rapidly in recent years. This is the late-mover advantage that I have always emphasized. Although we started later than other big countries, we have experienced With the efforts of generations of astronauts, we have successfully achieved leapfrog development!”

Mr. Song nodded happily and said: "Yes! The high-thrust rocket you took the lead in developing played a decisive role in this! Just imagine that if we did not master high-thrust rocket technology, we would not be able to send heavy space station components into space. , building our country’s own space station is even more empty talk... Of course, the manned rocket also plays an important role, and the stability is as good as ever!"

Cheng Rulong smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's all thanks to the children. Now I rarely do specific scientific research projects. I mostly check them in the general direction. After all, my age is here! I'm running out of energy. , Time is not forgiving!"

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and your disciples have all taken up the leading roles. This is very good!" Mr. Song said with a smile, "People still have to obey their elders, and you can't show off your strength!"

"You're right!" Cheng Rulong said with a wry smile. "When I was young, it was common to stay up all night when doing scientific research. But now at this age, let alone stay up all night, I use my brain a little more, and I can work for several days. exhausted……"

Speaking of this, Cheng Rulong couldn't help but said: "But Old Song, you are getting younger and younger as you live!"

The smile on Mr. Song's face couldn't stop. He looked at Xia Ruofei and then said: "The body relies on maintenance and conditioning! You are still active in the front line of scientific research, and I have long retired and ignored worldly affairs. We can do the same ?"

"I have a hard life!" Cheng Rulong sighed, "I also took a break from my busy schedule today. I felt too bored in the laboratory, so I just wanted to come here to take a breath and relax... But it's really a worthwhile trip! Xiaoxia The tea you make is really good! I feel so refreshed after drinking it!"

Xia Ruofei secretly laughed in his heart. After listening to the chat between the two old men just now, he secretly added a small amount of Lingxinhua petal solution to the tea.

With his cultivator's ability to appear and disappear, Mr. Song and Cheng Rulong would naturally not be able to detect him.

Mr. Song's body has been well-conditioned, so his feeling is not that obvious. Cheng Rulong himself is very tired and has some underlying diseases. In addition, it is the first time for him to drink Lingxinhua petal solution, so The feeling is quite strong.

Mr. Song didn't know why, but he just said with a smile: "When you go back later, take some tea leaves with you. You can brew some for yourself later!"

Cheng Rulong waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary! I don't know how to make Kung Fu tea. I will come to you when I want to drink it. The same thing..."

"You..." Mr. Song couldn't help but smile and shake his head. "Speaking of it, when you were doing scientific research, you were like a desperate man, forgetting to eat and sleep. Who would have thought that you are too lazy to make tea by yourself now? I don’t even want to, I just want to drink ready-made tea! If you can make tea so well, with your IQ and practice, how can you not learn it? "

"What are you going to do if you learn something that is not helpful to the project?" Cheng Rulong waved his hand and said.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but at the same time, he admired Cheng Rulong even more. The older generation of scientific researchers are actually like this. They focus on their own fields. They may have low living ability and even cannot take care of them. They are good at themselves, but it is precisely because they are simple-minded and devote all their energy to scientific research that they can achieve such dazzling results.

Mr. Song laughed and said, "This is exactly your style!"

Then, Mr. Song turned the topic to aerospace. He smiled and said: "Old Cheng, our country's aerospace industry has ushered in a harvest period of vigorous development. The hard work of your older generation of scientists has not been in vain! You see Looking at the past few years, we have taken one step at a time. First, we became the third country to master manned spaceflight technology, and then became the third country to master rendezvous and docking technology and spacewalk technology. Now we have begun to build our own It has a space station, and in a few years, our country’s own space station will become the only space station in low-Earth orbit. What a dazzling achievement this is!”

Cheng Rulong smiled and nodded and said: "Yes! In the past, we were a space power, and now... we are also a well-deserved space power! However... from the perspective of all mankind, space exploration has just begun. Humans want to truly go deep. Sora, there’s still a long way to go!”

After listening to the discussion between the two, Xia Ruofei was somewhat interested and couldn't help but ask: "Academician Cheng, to what extent do you think space exploration must reach to be considered a staged success? I think we humans now It’s amazing to be able to stay in space for a long time!”

Cheng Rulong smiled and said: "Young man, I am not belittling myself. Not only our country, but also the other two major space countries have just started in space exploration. If this road is a hundred meters long, we may just Walk one meter or two meters!"

"Is the gap so big?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.

Cheng Rulong said with a smile: "Take the long-term stay in space you just mentioned! Yes, our country's astronauts will soon implement a half-year rotation system to ensure that the space station is manned at all times. Every batch of astronauts goes up, They will stay there for about six months, and the same is true for the International Space Station. A few months of stay has become the norm, but..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Rulong changed the subject and said: "This actually requires paying a price. What price? It is the physical health of the astronauts. Living in a weightless environment for a long time will cause a lot of harm to the body, including cardiovascular dysfunction, Bone loss, decreased immune function, muscle atrophy, etc., so... six months of stay is actually a relatively extreme time. If it is longer, some damage will be irreversible."

Cheng Rulong took a sip of tea and continued: "After our astronauts return to Earth after completing a six-month mission, they need at least half a year of recovery through various advanced and scientific means to recover, so that their bodies can basically return to normal. Getting back into training, all these are the hazards of a weightless environment.”

"If we want to conduct deep space navigation and explore deeper space in the future, then this will actually be a difficulty." Cheng Rulong said, "For example, if you explore Mars, the flight time may be as long as several months with current technology, then What will happen to the astronauts’ bodies by then? Even if they arrive on Mars, they can’t even walk, so how can they put in work?”

Hearing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but asked curiously: "Academician Cheng, can't our technology simulate a gravity environment in space?"
