The sun sets and the stars are sparse, and the night in the mountains and forests is desolate.
Because when you walk out of the guesthouse, outside the street lights, it seems to be in a huge darkness.
Only as you adapt to the darkness can you vaguely see the outline of the mountain sky in the distance.
Not only Liu Yifei and Gu Ying walked out of the guesthouse, but also other people. Some were led by grandchildren or sons, and some heard the news and walked out of the door.
Outside the guesthouse, a crowd gathered.
Walking out of the guesthouse, Liu Yifei looked around curiously. Some old men and women were holding a fan in their hands to drive away mosquitoes. There are really a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and each one is in a good shape.
In the crowd, Liu Yifei saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao Han, will the test be conducted every night?"
"Yes, we will test every night, it looks very good, and it will start at nine o'clock today."
"Did the test time vary before?"
"Yes, sometimes at seven o'clock, sometimes at ten o'clock, and today Engineer Chu specifically set the time to nine o'clock."
An old man with his wife was led by a young man. The silver-white hair of the two old men fluttered in the night, and their intellectual faces were vaguely visible in the night.
Listening to the conversation of the three, Liu Yifei couldn't help but prick up her ears.
"Is Engineer Chu the person in charge of this project?"
"No..."
The young man thought about it and shook his head.
Then he stopped talking. The old man obviously thought of something and didn't continue asking. Instead, he saw Liu Yifei from a distance and smiled politely.
Perhaps he had a good impression of Liu Yifei's understanding of aerospace, so he stopped where he was.
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and politely, which was considered a greeting.
"Chu Gong?" Gu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and she naturally pricked up her ears.
However, the other party did not continue the conversation. Although she did not believe the saying that she fell in love with a city because of a person, it was shocking enough when it came from Liu Yifei's mouth.
Gu Ying stayed quietly beside Liu Yifei. As time passed, Liu Yifei looked down at the time from time to time.
She knew very well that the Chu Gong mentioned by this young man must be the person he was thinking about, and it was definitely nine o'clock.
But she did not expect that Teacher Chu's status in the Xichang Research Base was so high.
"It's almost nine o'clock." As the time approached, Liu Yifei's expression tightened, and she suddenly looked up at the sky.
In the sky, under the bright moonlight, there were outlines of mountains, as if there was the skyline.
As it approached nine o'clock, Liu Yifei clearly felt a vibration of the ground.
At the same time, a huge roar sounded in the distance.
The roar was loud, like a thunder in the quiet night. Along with the thunder, a red fire appeared not far away.
The fire fell on the building, just like a flare at night, illuminating the entire night sky.
No one present spoke, but watched intently. Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes, which could speak, focused on the fire in the distance as the sound sounded.
A huge flame burned in the sky and slowly climbed.
When it rose to a certain height, this ball of fire seemed to illuminate the entire Xichang Research Base and shine on everyone's face.
It was like a shining star, standing there shining brightly.
Liu Yifei didn't speak, holding her breath, fearing that if she breathed a little harder, the star would fall.
Reason told her that it wouldn't happen, but she still breathed carefully.
Gu Ying, who was standing next to Liu Yifei at the moment, had a flushed face, whether it was the reflection of the fire or the excitement.
The vast sky!!
Gu Ying couldn't find a description to describe the shocking scene in front of her eyes. The fire clearly gave her a strong sense of oppression.
But for some reason, her heart was full of pride and pride, as if she was witnessing something.
Sacred and inviolable.
At this time, a voice sounded next to her, and Gu Ying couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.
"The posture control is very stable." An old man silently stared at the flames in the sky. Under the illumination of the fire, his turbid eyes seemed to have fire burning in his eyes.
On the side was Chen Lao, and Nie Yuntian stood by his side.
"Really walked out of a different aerospace road." Chen Lao's eyes were full of emotion. Facing the scene in front of him, his heart was relieved.
From the small one, we can see that Chen Lao's heart at this moment is beyond words.
"Teacher, we, the latecomers, haven't let you down?" Nie Yuntian's seemingly calm tone contained a complex feeling, but it was well concealed.
At this moment, standing among this group of old people, it was he who invited them to come, and it was he and Liu who overcame many obstacles and made this rocket launch widely known.
Because he knew very well that if this rocket launch was successful, it would change the pattern of the entire aerospace field.
He did not dare to guarantee 100% success, but he wanted to ensure that the older generation of aerospace people would witness this historic moment.
The road to the top of the mountain was difficult, but they still crossed the river and crossed the river.
They walked through the thorny jungle and climbed the road section that was admired by the mountains.
Now, there is only one cliff left to reach the top of the mountain.
For this last step, whether it was Liu Neng, him, or Chu Ze, they all believed that it was necessary to invite the older generation of aerospace people who had struggled all their lives in the Xichang Research Base to witness this historic moment.
"No disappointment, I have never been disappointed in you." Old Chen's tone was full of emotion. The later generations faced the difficulties, so how could he be disappointed.
If there is anyone who is disappointed, it should be himself twenty or thirty years ago.
Logically speaking, we should have created a better environment for the later generations at that time, instead of blocking the technology, making them independent and self-reliant, and walking step by step with thorns.
Old Chen spoke in a low voice, but his tone was full of pride:
"Mount Everest is the highest peak on earth, but it is definitely not the edge of us Chinese astronauts."
One sentence instantly made the faces of the older generation of astronauts next to him show strong emotion.
"Yes, this sentence has weighed on my heart for 30 years."
"Who said that we Chinese can't do aerospace? This success will give China a place in international aerospace."
A series of resonant voices rose and fell with each other, with emotion and indignation.
At this time, Liu Yifei noticed that a group of elderly people sitting in wheelchairs or holding crutches appeared outside the guesthouse at some point.
At this time, they were communicating excitedly.
"What do you mean? Why are you so excited?" Gu Ying was a little puzzled, but she knew that she couldn't figure it out herself.
She turned around and asked Liu Yifei. She didn't know when she started asking Liu Yifei whenever she didn't understand something, because Liu Yifei could always help her answer.
"31 years ago, the Eagle published an article 'Congratulations to the Chinese on their successful exploration of Mount Everest.'"
Liu Yifei responded to Gu Ying's words.
"What's the problem with that?" Gu Ying was puzzled.
She felt that this was just an ordinary congratulatory message. She thought about it carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure out the problem.
"It was the Eagle Space Agency that sent the congratulatory letter." Liu Yifei explained.
Gu Ying was stunned when she heard this.
When she heard that sentence before, it sounded fine at first, but with the unit that issued the congratulations, Gu Ying suddenly felt full of sarcasm.
After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she didn't say anything else, but her eyes fell on the old people one by one.
The firelight reflected on the faces of these old people, their old faces were full of wrinkles, and their eyes were turbid and white.
But the turbid eyes have vicissitudes and stories, and the eyes are full of unyielding and persistence.
When the old man's eyes focused on the fire, his face under the shining mark was full of determination.
At this moment, Liu Yifei understood that this spark might just be beautiful in her and Gu Ying's eyes. It was suspended there like a magical creation, indescribably magnificent and shocking.
But in the eyes of this group of old people, this fire is hope, the will of the inheritor, and the dilemma of facing difficulties and getting rid of it.
Gu Ying also noticed the solemn atmosphere, and her face, which was originally a little flushed, was forcibly controlled.
Silently watching the blazing flames in the dark night.
A huge roar accompanied the blazing flames.
Liu Yifei suddenly understood the meaning of the letter.
At this moment, Liu Yifei completely understood it.
"This is a firework that will never fall." Liu Yifei whispered.
"Well said, little girl, this is a firework that will never fall, shining brightly!! It belongs to us Chinese people and will never fall."
Mr. Chen also shouted in a deep voice, his tone full of burning heat, and once this was said, it was immediately recognized by everyone.
"You are right, little girl, you said it very well."
"Well said."
The words of praise may not be clear, but it doesn't matter if you can't see the face clearly. In the night, Liu Yifei seemed to see a lot of expectant eyes and excited faces.
Liu Yifei herself also had a bright and sweet smile.
Because this is also her firework, and it is also a firework that will never fall.
......
...
Early the next morning.
Liu Yifei and Gu Ying got up early and washed up.
"Sister Ying, let's go." Liu Yifei picked up a small bag and slung it around her waist.In the room, wearing a white dress, the whole person is full of energy.
"I'm here." Gu Ying responded.
After a while, the two walked out of the guesthouse hand in hand.
Followed the majority of the whole and visited the Xichang Research Base.
Overall, it is to understand the history of Xichang, listen to the things that have been launched, and visit some launch sites.
Although Gu Ying listened carefully, she was far less interested than Liu Yifei.
"Is it here to launch tomorrow?" Gu Ying looked at the launch site in front of her with some curiosity.
The structure is still very simple, a launch platform, a tall rack.
There is also a long vertical building in the distance.
"No, the Xichang Research Base has more than a dozen launch platforms. This launch platform facility is relatively old, and it should be in the newly built launch platform." Liu Yifei followed behind the young researcher and responded.
"You know everything and you listen so interestingly?"
Gu Ying looked at Liu Yifei and said in a deep voice.
"Reviewing the past will help you learn new things."
Liu Yifei blinked, but what she got in return was Gu Ying's rolling eyes.
At this time, Gu Ying's previous doubts were shaken.
After a tour, the Xichang Research Base also had a picture in Gu Ying's concept.
At the same time, the atmosphere of the entire Xichang Research Base began to become solemn.
Because the launch has entered the final 24-hour countdown.
Around five in the morning.
On this day, Liu Yifei did not take a nap, but chose to stay up until the evening when she was a little sleepy.
Because this way, she can go to bed earlier at night and get up earlier tomorrow. Others also had the same idea, chatting and talking about the mountains.
The old man who sat across the aisle before, Liu Yifei was familiar with him after a few visits.
"You, little girl, really understand aerospace. Why didn't your boyfriend come to see you?" Xia Gang said with a curious tone.
Although he has been in Xichang Base for a short time, considering the girl's age, her partner is unlikely to be older. Logically, he should be able to spare some time to visit her.
But he has never seen her.
"He is busy."
"No matter how busy he is, he has to come to see you. It has been two days, and he hasn't come to see you. Besides, the launch is approaching, so there are not so many things to do." Xia Gang said bluntly.
Liu Yifei's expression did not change much.
"There is no rush in the next two days." Liu Yifei was very calm.
And this statement was recognized by Mrs. Xia Gang.
"That's right. I tell you that the time of astronauts is really inaccurate. If you go to Jiuquan, I am afraid you won't see them for half a year. You are young. If you really look for astronauts, you must be mentally prepared."
Mrs. Xia is obviously an experienced person, and she said earnestly.
"Be mentally prepared. He is busy, and I will be busy with my own things."
Liu Yifei responded with a sweet smile and a good attitude.
This made Xia Gang and his wife look at each other, and their eyes were full of satisfaction with the little girl.
Of course, if the other party was his grandson's girlfriend, he might be even more satisfied.
A group of people watching the ceremony had nowhere to go, and basically stayed in the cafeteria to chat.
Xichang Research Base.
A huge rocket stood in the hangar of the C3 rocket.
Huteng No. 1.
China's second heavy-duty carrier rocket, and its predecessor had already fallen into the Gobi Desert.
"Chu Gong, you have worked hard during this period." Nie Yuntian's tone was full of gratitude.
The rapid prototyping of Huteng No. 1 was far from being due to the rapid progress of the Xichang Research Base, but it was really because of the appearance of Chu Ze.
The problem of rocket thrust was fundamentally solved.
Solving the rocket thrust, combined with the experience that the Xichang Research Base had already accumulated, the project progressed so quickly.
Just like one force defeats ten skills, when there is no power, the idea is always to use other ways to solve it.
And suddenly, the body had strength, and everything seemed to be a natural outcome.
"Why should I work so hard? It's all thanks to everyone. I haven't had a rest recently." Chu Ze shook his head. For him, this period of time was not hard, but comfortable.
Because he entered a familiar scientific research state, this state is actually what he likes.
"Rest early today." Nie Yuntian felt that everything was self-evident.
As Nie Yuntian finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white coat next to him spoke.
"Engineer Nie, Engineer Chu, can you sleep today?"
"I can't sleep, I'll stay up all night and sleep after the success."
"I'm afraid you can't sleep even more after the success."
"The worst case scenario is sudden death, which is considered a death without regrets."
The middle-aged man's words seemed to open the conversation.In the box, each voice expressed the meaning of the owner of each voice.
Once the words were opened, there was a tendency to be unable to stop.
"You still have to sleep and get enough rest. Don't you want to read the reports of foreign media tomorrow?" Chu Ze smiled. He met some good teams and felt really comfortable. The atmosphere of scientific research was there.
Of course, there are good ones and bad ones.
However, overall, the fine traditions left by the older generation are mostly good, and there are also bad ones, but they are rare.
"Listen to Engineer Chu, sleep well, get up early tomorrow, and be energetic to fight hard battles."
Nie Yuntian also spoke in a deep voice.
And the faces of the scientific researchers who were communicating also became serious.
