Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man
Chapter 1290: Launch Site
After resting for a night in Nur-Sultan in Haqq, Jiang Xiaobai and his team set out for the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Of course, I agreed to their request and paid more, the price was two hundred rupees per person per day.
It’s not too low, but it’s not too high either, because the rupee is really worthless at this time.
A long motorcade drove on the endless road.
"Ask them, how long will it take to get there?" Jiang Xiaobai loosened the coat wrapped around him and shouted to the translator in the front row.
They are also the same country, but at this time, polar bears should have the largest land area in history.
I almost froze to death when I was in Moscow, but after arriving in Hack, the climate here is continental.
The temperature is almost the same as in China, but it's windy today and it's still a little cold.
But compared to when I was in Moscow, it was more than a little better.
The Baikonur Cosmodrome is located in the southwest of Khak, and both the northern part of Khak and the Caspian Sea area receive water vapor from the ocean.
The climate is similar to that of many countries in the Mediterranean, while the southwest is a desert and semi-desert area.
Therefore, the convoy's journey to the Baikonur Cosmodrome was basically becoming more and more desolate.
It's a bit like the feeling of entering the desert in later generations.
"Director Jiang, it will take more than three hours." The translator looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said.
"Okay." Jiang Xiaobai simply wrapped up his coat and closed his eyes. Forget it, life is like that. If you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.
With the car banging and banging, Jiang Xiaobai fell asleep at some point.
When Jiang Xiaobai was woken up, he found that he had already arrived.
The Baikonur Cosmodrome is heavily guarded. The convoy was already stopped when it was still one kilometer away from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. They contacted and showed their ID.
Then they were released. When they got to the door, the convoy was stopped again, but soon Mou Qizhong led someone to pick up Jiang Xiaobai at the door.
"Lao Mou."
"Xiaobai." The two smiled and hugged each other. At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai was also looking at the Baikonur Space Launch Site in front of him.
While still at the gate, you can feel the majesty and solemnity of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in front of you. The huge camp gate is fully armed and heavily guarded.
"Let's go in. Let's talk after we go in. Let them check first." Mou Qizhong greeted.
After Jiang Xiaobai and others were searched and inspected, Jiang Xiaobai and others got into the launch site's car and entered the launch site.
As for the convoy brought by Jiang Xiaobai and others, Mou Qizhong arranged for the convoy to be sent away directly.
These foreign vehicles cannot enter the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
After Zhao Xiaojin got in the car at the entrance of the launch site and entered the Baikonur Space Launch Site, Zhao Xiaojin's eyes kept turning, looking at everything in the launch site.
It felt like her eyes were almost exhausted. Everything she imagined was here.
The driver who provoked him looked back at Zhao Xiaojin from time to time with some caution. Wasn't this someone sent from somewhere to inquire about information and collect intelligence?
Why are you staring so straight at the equipment in the launch site?
And why are the corners of your mouth still shining? What are you going to do? What are you thinking in your head?
And like Jiang Xiaobai, Li Longquan and others on the side were also looking at it, but they were obviously restrained. They were just curious about the equipment and technological devices here for the first time.
This is normal. Anyone who comes here for the first time will be curious and amazed by this place, including the first time he comes here.
"The Baikonur Cosmodrome was built in June 1955. It is a spacecraft launch site and rocket test base here. The total area of the base is more than 6,700 square kilometers..."
The car was driving inside the launch site, and Mou Qizhong, as a tour guide, was introducing the Baikonur Space Launch Site to Jiang Xiaobai and the others.
Baikonur Space Center is the starting point for mankind’s dream of flying into space. In this desert, astronauts have created countless world firsts here.
The first intercontinental missile, the first artificial satellite, the first manned spacecraft Vostok.
In fact, before the first manned spacecraft was successfully launched, the Baikonur Space Center was shrouded in mystery as a military restricted area.
Correspondence addresses include various "Zuya", "Mosko-400", "Kizil-Orda-50", and "Tashkent-90".
Anyway, it’s constantly changing and confusing.
"What is being built over there?" Zhao Xiaojin pointed to the huge project that could be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Where should be the rocket launch area? It seems to be No. 45 or something like that. There are so many launch areas here. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
Sometimes people say it in front of me, but I forget it later. " Mou Qizhong said with a smile.
He didn't care much about this, and soon a unique living area full of exotic customs appeared in front of everyone.
No, to be precise, this cannot be called a living area, it should be said to be a small town.
"Lao Mou, how many people are here?" Jiang Xiaobai asked equally curiously.
He saw that it was quite lively with people coming and going.
"There are about 140,000 people here, and all the country's aerospace elites are gathered here. It is an aerospace city, aerospace city, and various scientific research sites..."
Mou Qizhong was right. After entering the small town, all the street scenes were filled with the aerospace atmosphere.
"Baikonur has its own education system and teaching institutions. Graduates from local universities directly enter aviation and aerospace companies..." This sentence was said by the driver in front.
Although Mou Qizhong came earlier than Jiang Xiaobai, he didn't understand these things either.
"What a small kingdom." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, some of which are similar to those of large state-owned enterprises in China.
However, the same is true for many large domestic military-industrial enterprises.
The car soon stopped in front of a small hotel-like building.
"We've arrived at the place. Let's stay here. Brother, you guys have a rest first, and then in the evening, the person in charge who is in contact with them will come over and have a meal together.
I will have the specific information delivered to your room in the evening. "
Mou Qizhong sent Jiang Xiaobai into the hotel and talked to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Okay." Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and after the rooms were divided, he walked upstairs.
Back in the room, Jiang Xiaobai did not rush to rest. Instead, he opened the curtains in the room and looked at the Baikonur Space Launch Site through the window for a while before lying down on the bed to rest.
Baikonur Cosmodrome is a space pearl in the desert.
It is also a world-class aerospace pearl.
