When you are rich, there is Rheinmetall; when you are poor, there is Rheinsteel!

Hearing this, Lin Yu had a flash of enlightenment in his mind. No wonder Abu came here with Sonia. It seems that the two of them have really started to wear the same pants.

This news is very important.

If the two sides really cooperate sincerely, it will only benefit him in Central Asia.

After asking what he wanted to ask, Abu did not stay any longer. He picked up the paper on the table and stood up to say goodbye.

After sending people out of the corridor, Lin Yu stretched his head and saw the heads sticking out of other rooms. He whistled at these heads, then he retreated to the room, lowered the air conditioner temperature, and went to sleep.

The morning sun was golden yellow. Before they could play naughty, a group of people from Rheinsteel faced the sun and headed northeast.

Walking on this road for the second time, Lin Yu did not feel anything. On the contrary, Awad and others who came here for the first time were very excited.

"If we go in this direction, can we reach Outer Mongolia?"

"Yes!"

"By the way, if we want to go to Russia, can we go in this direction as well?"

"Yes! Go through this direction, and then go a little further north to Lake Baikal."

"Doesn't this river reach Mongolia?"

"No!"

"Why do you have people even here?"

"Don't you Saudis live in the desert too?"

"It's different in ours!"

"What's the difference?"

As the two asked and answered, a small desert town quietly appeared, standing quietly beside the river, and in the desert farther away, several steel launch pads could be seen.

On the flat desert next door, it was like a giant, looking down at the earth.

The convoy slowly approached the town and stopped at a checkpoint a few kilometers away. Lin Yu handed in the relevant information and documents familiarly, and then stood by, waiting for the inspection to pass.

The person in charge of the inspection was very meticulous, holding the ID photo, standing in front of Awad and the others, looking left and right.

He Junpeng, who received the news, also rushed here as soon as possible.

As soon as they met and hugged each other warmly, He Junpeng saw the rocket launcher with three-color stripes pulled open.

In an instant, he remembered the last time Lin Yu came here.

He patted his head hard, pointed at the eight-gun rocket launcher and asked, "Mr. Lin, you don't think that launching a satellite this time is just a side job."

"Testing this rocket is the real thing, right?"

"It's all the same, it's all the same." Lin Yu responded repeatedly, and at the same time called for people to cover the rocket launcher after checking it.

While the others were busy, he pulled He Junpeng to the side and asked softly: "Commander He, is the rocket ready?"

"Yes!" He Junpeng nodded his head and raised his hand to point to the vaguely visible building a few kilometers away:

"For this CZ2D modified rocket, we set the low-Earth orbit to 520 kilometers and the payload is 4 tons."

"Your nine satellites occupy 2.25 tons of weight."

"We also got two satellites weighing more than 700 kilograms, and our own satellites are already in place."

"Now we just need to install your satellites and correct the weight parameters, and we can launch them on time."

"I thought you would arrive tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to arrive today."

"Take a break at noon and start work in the afternoon."

It happened that the person in charge of the checkpoint also finished the inspection at this time. With He Junpeng as the person in charge, he naturally needed to review the relevant inspection records.

Taking over the inspection records from the checkpoint, He Junpeng flipped through them carefully. After all, this was a test to reopen commercial launches.

Do more, ask more, and leave more traces. At least it won't hurt.

After confirming that all items have been checked and there are no problems, he raised his hand and pointed to the road behind the checkpoint, shouting:

"Mr. Lin! Please! Let's get off to a good start!"

The congratulatory words made Lin Yu very happy. He stood next to the convoy and shouted loudly: "The technicians follow the car and coordinate to unload the satellite."

"The rocket vehicle is sent to the warehouse to wait, and the weapon testing team is responsible for guarding the whole process."

"Luo Ping, you take a few guests to the guesthouse to rest."

"Let's get off to a good start!"

"Let's go!"

With his shout, several trucks loaded with satellites drove out of the checkpoint and headed for the assembly workshop of the launch center.

Behind these trucks, the bus of the satellite research and development center team where Miao Yuan was located followed closely.

The launch center was close at hand, and these researchers who were usually very stable all turned into primitive people at this moment, opened the car windows, grabbed the hats on their heads, and waved them in their hands constantly.

And that mouth was not idle, and it kept yelling:

"Oh oh oh!"

"Oh oh!"

"Oh!"

Lin Yu could understand their feelings, but he still picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest and said seriously:

"Professor Miao, you are out, pay attention to your image."

Unfortunately, he still underestimated the excitement of a satellite maker who saw the rocket launch pad, saw the rocket, and knew that his satellite could go to the sky.

Even though those cars had gone away with the smoke and dust, he could still hear the oh oh sound coming from the wind.

With a long sigh helplessly, he hung up the walkie-talkie and raised his hand to point to the Bluebird-1 rocket launcher:

"Commander He, do you want to try our car?"

"Ah? Oh——" He Junpeng dragged out a long tone and looked at the green-painted truck with surprise on his face.

He pointed at himself and then at the truck, and asked with surprise on his face: "Can I get in?"

"Can!"

After receiving the approval, he quickly opened the door and got into the car, pulled on his seat belt, and kept looking at the vehicle console.

After looking around, he saw the huge, particularly conspicuous red button in the middle.

The moment he saw the button, his right hand stretched out without him realizing it.

But it was quickly retracted when it was halfway extended.

Lin Yu also climbed into the car at this time. Seeing his eagerness to try, he clicked his chin on the console:

"Press it if you want. Double insurance. When it is not unfolded, the circuit switch will not close. You can press the launch button at will."

"Really?" He Junpeng was even more eager to give it a try.

"real!"

After confirming that there would be no problem, the commander of the satellite launch center reached out to open the transparent plastic cover on the console and pressed the launch button with his right index finger.

He started pressing like crazy with chicken claws.

After pressing the button for more than ten seconds, he closed the transparent cover, slumped down on the truck seat, looked at the road ahead with a satisfied expression, and said softly like a sage:

"Mr. Lin, I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I graduated from college, I almost went to the Second Artillery Group, but because my eyesight was not good enough, I had to do research on the aerospace system at that time."

"Later I became the person in charge here. Every time I launched, I imagined that the button in my hand was actually the button for an anti-aircraft missile."

"Every time you press it, you can knock down an enemy fighter jet!"

After speaking excitedly, he immediately turned his head, looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Can you leave one for me to click on?"

He Junpeng's eyes were expectant, like a child asking an adult for a toy.

Facing the other party's expectant gaze, Lin Yu touched the seat of the cab with his hand. The car under his butt was not a toy, but... it could be a toy.

He looked straight ahead and said softly: "Okay!"

This accurate response made He Junpeng instantly happy. He groped around hurriedly, took out a box of cigarettes, and handed it to Lin Yu:

"Mr. Lin smokes!"

Lin Yu reached out and took out a cigarette and lit it. He didn't smoke it, just held it in his hand and silently looked at the warehouse of the launch center.

After the smoke was burned, the car arrived at the place.

The 20-ton crane drove out of the parking garage, hoisted the container loaded on the truck, and put it on the flatbed trailer. The container was dragged into the warehouse by the flatbed trailer.

The Jade Bird-1 rocket launcher was parked in a dedicated warehouse outside the launch center.

After taking a short break at noon, the people in the satellite R\u0026D center began to cooperate with the people in the launch center to weigh the satellite and find a suitable position for the satellite.

"Satellite No. 1 weighs 250.122 kilograms and has no abnormal appearance. After inspection, the signal path is normal and there is no additional electromagnetic wave signal interference."

"Solar panels can expand normally and retract normally."

"Satellite No. 2 weighs 250.127 kilograms and has no abnormal appearance. After inspection, the signal path is normal and there is no additional electromagnetic wave signal interference."

"Solar panels can expand normally and retract normally."

"Satellite No. 3..."

"All satellite weight checks passed, and the weight deviation review required values."

"The basic signal function has passed the inspection and can be adapted to the data receiving module of our launch center. There is no additional signal interference and it will not interfere with signal execution and return during rocket flight."

"Based on the above results, this type of satellite has passed the safety assessment and can be installed for satellite launch."

"Satellite No. 1 is hung at the No. 1 position of the load-bearing tube."

"Don't panic, don't be afraid. Everyone must install strictly according to the operation manual. Not even a hair can be left here."

"It's still early, we don't need to panic, take your time, don't rush."

"Everyone, Rheinsteel's 20 million fare has been paid. People have given us money. We must not be cowardly in our work, but must do it well."

"The one-time launch was successful and we are all happy."

On the other side, in the room next to the command room of the launch center, Rheinsteel people were also busy debugging equipment.

"Is there a signal on Line 1?"

"Yes!"

"Is the transfer screen clear?"

"Clear, just fix it."

"Okay! It's fixed. Are you sure there's no problem?"

"No problem. When the time comes, the launch center will transmit the signal antenna synchronization data, and we can control the satellite from this console. When the orbit is adjusted, we can let the base receive control authority."

"By the way, our satellite won't be controlled like in America's movie, right?"

"Watch less movies. Even if the America satellite technology is advanced, it can only intercept part of the satellite data. It is impossible to control the satellite. You must have confidence in your own satellite."

"By the way, do we really want to launch more than 10,000 satellites as the director said?"

"At least a few hundred of them!"

"It costs 20 million to launch 9 rockets this time. Is it because other people's rockets are test versions. If we launch them alone, the cost will be sky-high?"

"That's why the Rocket R\u0026D Center wants to study recyclable rockets. Okay, shut your mouths, everyone is here. The first satellite signal feedback simulation begins, and the simulation time is 12 minutes."

"No. 1 signal reception simulation is normal."

"No. 2 signal reception simulation is normal."

"number 3……"

…………

During the intense debugging and installation, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the launch day arrived.

Early in the morning, after Lin Yu finished washing, he looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, raised his hand to grab the top page, and pulled gently.

He pulled down the fragile calendar paper, revealing a new day underneath.

Thursday, September 11, 2003, the Year of the Sheep, Xinyou month, Dinghai day.

It is appropriate to open the market, trade, set up coupons, hang plaques, and consecrate.

Avoid making stoves, going to funerals, getting haircuts, riding boats, and getting married.

After staring at the calendar for a while, Lin Yu opened his suit, took out a red pen from his chest pocket, and crossed out the taboo column first.

Then add the marriage in the appropriate column.

Looking at the printed text, he nodded with satisfaction, opened the door to the room and walked out.

The corridor of the guest house was already full of people, including people from Rheinsteel, as well as a few gringos like Awad.

Seeing him walking out of the room, a group of people subconsciously turned their attention to him, waiting for new instructions.

Lin Yu glanced at everyone, and waved his hand: "Let's go have breakfast first. We are busy today, but no matter how busy we are, we can't lose our money."

So, when a large group of them appeared outside the launch center gate carrying breakfast, the reporters and Xiang Pangang who greeted them were confused.

This is where the satellite is launched!

How come a person who usually looks very serious has to hold both his left and right hands free at a critical moment, holding fried dough sticks and soy milk?

After finishing the food in his hands, he rushed Awad and others into the viewing platform of the launch center, and then he stood in front of reporters.

As soon as he walked over and saw clearly the person holding the microphone, Lin Yu was happy.

Because this person is the host of the Industrial Channel who is careless every day.

With a smile on his face, Lin Yu stood in front of the host and nodded first. The host naturally handed over the microphone:

"Mr. Lin, as a company, what is your main purpose of launching satellites?"

There is a problem.

Lin Yu coughed slightly, recalled the tones of the male protagonists in those model dramas, and said in a loud voice:

"We launch satellites mainly to monitor agricultural production data. At present, our technology is seriously insufficient in agriculture."

“Especially in agricultural climate monitoring and pest and disease monitoring, we are seriously lagging behind.”

"And our satellite can solve this problem very well!"

The words were loud, calm, and righteous. Xiang Pingang, who heard this next to him, didn't want to speak. He glanced at the closed warehouse in the distance with his peripheral vision.

I couldn't help but give Lin Yu a thumbs up.

This colleague must have been a bamboo craftsman in his previous life, so he is so good at making stuff.

When the microphone came to his mouth, he imitated Lin Yu's accent and answered the host's question:

"This is a small step for us, but it is a big step for the development of commercial aerospace in our country!"
