Super technology leader

“That was too dangerous. Luckily, it didn't detach from the steel frame.”

“This thruster is too big. Our steel frame structure isn't strong enough. I truly understand the difference between 1.1 tons of thrust and tens of kilograms of thrust now.”

“Of course. Even the fraction of their thrust is greater than my entire thrust.”

“Fortunately, the fuel ran out at the last moment. Otherwise, the thruster would have definitely flown around wildly, and might have even exploded.”

“Thinking about it now, it actually feels pretty awesome. Our 'big firecracker' didn't have this kind of excitement.”

“Hahaha, you're right. This is what you call a rocket!”

“Hey, 'big firecracker,' that analogy. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. Anyway, Tang's sarcasm is confirmed.”

“I'm not being sarcastic. I'm praising your rocket... um, it's beautiful, like fireworks.”

“A rocket like fireworks? That's not even sarcasm anymore. You're directly cursing it!”

“Hahahahaha…”

A group of carefree people gathered around the wreckage, chattering away as if they weren't the ones who had been scared shitless just moments ago.

The situation was indeed dangerous. The steel frame had basically lost its restraining effect, and the thruster was spraying in all directions.

Seeing that things were going wrong, they quickly ran away. Although the place they were in should have been safe, the thruster was out of control, and who knew where it would fly.

They didn't want to gamble on that 'should be safe'.

A wise man doesn't stand near a dangerous wall... Okay, they were just cowards.

Their lives were important.

Fortunately, the big explosion they were worried about didn't happen. After the commotion subsided, they cautiously returned to the test site.

The scene was a disaster.

The steel frame was twisted into a pretzel, and the connection to the concrete platform was completely broken, tearing out a lot of concrete fragments in the process. The thruster was smoking on the ground, its outer shell somewhat damaged, and the ground was covered in traces of destruction.

They reviewed the monitoring footage and found that although the steel frame was deformed, it hadn't completely broken. One steel pipe was twisted into a pretzel, bravely maintaining the connection, preventing the thruster from taking off directly.

Otherwise, it might have really turned into a missile and flown to where they were.

But the most important thing was that the fuel ran out. Otherwise, if it had kept spraying, that pretzel would have definitely broken.

Fortunately, all the data was recorded. This test was basically successfully completed. The situation that caused this scene was just because the strength of the test platform was insufficient.

Although the process was a bit thrilling, the program effect was definitely perfect. The fans would definitely love to watch it.

Especially the scene of the thruster going out of control.

After all this tossing around, the afterglow of the sun was about to disappear, and the sky was obviously getting dark. It was time for them to go home.

They happily wrapped up their work with the sunset, but the people in another place weren't so happy.

………………

Aerospace Science and Technology Group,某 conference room.

The big shots from various departments walked in one after another, each with a look of confusion on their face, because they were in the middle of working when they were suddenly called to a meeting. Anyone would be confused.

“Lao Yu, what's going on? Why did they suddenly call us to a meeting?”

“I don't know. I was working on a material formula. I just had a flash of inspiration when they suddenly asked me to come to a meeting. I said my experiment was at a critical moment and I couldn't leave, but they directly issued a mandatory order. It's really strange.”

“Hey, Lao Yu, were you also forced to come? Me too.”

“Chief Engineer Liu, you were also forced to come to the meeting? Really?”

“I'm already here. What's 'can't be' about it?”

The big shots sat down and whispered, all feeling that today was very strange. The more acquaintances who came, the stranger they felt.

Unexpectedly, this conference room alone wasn't enough. After a while, the large screen on the wall lit up, showing scenes of crowded conference rooms, and not just one conference room.

One, three, five, seven, nine, two, four, six, eight, ten, various institutes, general office, planning department, development department, guarantee department, supervision department, etc., and the science and industry side, through the coordination of the network conference system, all the heads of the big framework gathered together.

Seeing the conference rooms of various institutions, everyone was dumbfounded.

At the same time, they knew that something big had happened!

Sure enough, after everyone arrived, the heads of the group and the heads of the space agency came in together.

Each of them had an extremely serious expression. The conference room door was closed from the outside the moment they came in. They even heard the sound of locking.

This discovery reminded some old experts of certain past events, and they suddenly became excited!

Slightly turning their heads to look around, their eyes quickly met the experts of the same age. Both sides nodded at the same time, as if knowing what the other was thinking.

“It's here, it's here, it's here! It's this atmosphere, it's this feeling!”

After the heads sat down, they didn't waste any time. One of them said directly: “Okay, top-level secret meeting, and the mission is important, so I'll get straight to the point.”

The first sentence made everyone involuntarily sit up straight.

“Each research institute has research tasks for the Changzheng-9 sub-project, right? Stop them all.”

The second sentence almost made everyone jump up!

Of course, the people present were not young, and it was impossible to suddenly jump up while sitting, but the quiet scene immediately became a bit noisy.

Buzzing!

“Bang bang bang~”

That person knocked on the table, “Be quiet for a moment, wait for me to finish speaking.”

It couldn't be quiet. A white-haired big shot with qualifications, technology, and age stood up and said: “I say Director Li, what are you talking about? The new mission is important, and the Changzheng-9 mission is also very important!”

“Each institute is working hard, and many technologies have been broken through. You're shutting down the Changzheng-9 with a single sentence. Isn't that too irresponsible?”

“It's okay to stop it, but you have to give a reason, right? We can't just stop the project that concerns the future of the country so confusedly.”

“Uh…”

That person stood up, and Director Li also quickly stood up, because he couldn't afford to offend this old consultant in his eighties.

“Chief Engineer Liu, don't get excited. When did I say I was going to shut down the Changzheng-9? I don't have that right. Can you let me finish speaking?”

Director Li said with a bitter face.

“And I promise, after I finish speaking, you will definitely praise me.”

Hearing Director Li say this, Chief Engineer Liu's anger also subsided a bit.

The reason he stood up just now was because the news Director Li said was too explosive, which made him subconsciously think of many projects that had already been researched very deeply, but were forced to shut down. He thought the Changzheng-9 project would follow in the footsteps of those projects, so he was so excited.

Since Director Li had said so, and the other heads also signaled him to be calm, and many colleagues were looking at him, he took the opportunity to step down.

“Okay, I'll wait for you to finish speaking. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I'll definitely point at your nose and scold you.”

After appeasing Chief Engineer Liu, Director Li saw that no one else had anything to say, so he continued: “Because the task is indeed more important, I spoke more urgently, so that I didn't make it clear. It's my fault.”

“The thing is, the existing Changzheng-9 sub-projects do have to be stopped, and all unused funds and materials must be temporarily frozen. After being checked and confirmed, they will be used for other purposes, and this 'other purpose' is actually still the Changzheng-9 project.”

“It's just that it's the overall project of Changzheng-9!”

“Upon receiving an order from the higher authorities, starting today, the Changzheng-9 project is officially approved! And this big rocket must be built within one year and complete its first flight!”

“Please note that I'm not just launching a satellite with these words, but a real task instruction.”

These words……

At the beginning, everyone thought he was repeating the previous second sentence and still wanted to shut down the Changzheng-9. More than just Chief Engineer Liu were preparing to scold him.

But later, he said that the Changzheng-9 overall project was officially approved, and they were happy again.

After all, they had been researching sub-projects for a long time and were hoping for the overall project to be approved as soon as possible, so that they could integrate and use their strength.

But what was the last part?

First flight in one year, isn't that launching a satellite?

What if it was launching a satellite?

First flight this year? Landing on the moon next year?

Are you kidding me?
