Chapter 704: Shenzhou Flying Into Space

"Okay, stop flattering me. The company has no operating income. No one can get a penny. If you want to make money, just work hard to enrich yourself and make yourself useful to the company and society. You guys Remember, money will never be given to you for free, but you need to prove it with your own abilities that exceed ordinary people.”

"Understood, understood!" Tang Wei responded repeatedly, taking out a TV the size of an inkstone from under his bed, placing it on the window sill, pulling out the slender antenna, and fidgeting around to find the radio signal.

Because it is in the capital city, even if you can't find any channels, you can still watch the central program. As the endless snowflakes on the small TV screen gradually turn into wavy stripes, the human figures and the standard broadcast tone also begin to change. clear.

In the end, Tang Wei attached the wires to the window glass and finally found the clearest picture. Unfortunately, it was only a small black and white TV, and there was no wired connection to the TV station. No matter how clear it was, it was full of noise.

Especially when Tang Wei took his hand off the antenna, the picture did not change much, but the noise became extremely harsh. When he put his hand back, the noise became smaller.

"Hey, put your short, fat little hands back!" Du Yuefeng came over with a stool, leaned forward with the back of the chair, put his hands on it, raised his chin, and commanded Tang Wei with a smile.

"Hiss, you kid, how can you always come with me? Come here..."

Tang Wei reached out to pull Du Yuefeng, but Du Yuefeng easily dodged it, "What does it have to do with me? You insisted on watching the live broadcast of the ignition of Shenzhou 4. I just joined in the fun with you to show my same patriotic feelings."

"Tsk! If you still have feelings, you are suitable to go back to the countryside to build a house. Where did the feelings come from!" Tang Wei was nagging, but he couldn't ask Du Yuefeng to help, and he couldn't call Shen Dapeng. He could only hold the antenna by himself, and then stretched out He straightened his arms, raised his head, and stared at the small TV screen.

The noise coming from the TV was still there, and coupled with the strong wind at the scene, the host's voice could not be heard clearly during the live TV broadcast.

However, we can still hear some unfavorable factors about rocket launches, including excessive wind and low temperature, which have exceeded the normal ignition and propulsion of the rocket.

"The minimum temperature required for ignition of the Shenzhou-4 rocket is minus 20 degrees Celsius, and today's temperature has reached minus 26 degrees Celsius. Coupled with the strong southeast wind for several hours, it is tantamount to making the rocket ignition more difficult!"

Because of the poor signal, the host's words on the TV were scattered, but these words could still be heard clearly. Tang Wei's face became nervous and he clenched his fists, "Brother Peng, do you think it can succeed? Yes?" Will the launch be postponed?”

"Do not worry,

Rocket launches and manned space technology are the top technical talents in the country. They work day and night, and of course they get success! "

Shen Dapeng knew what happened in his previous life, so he was naturally confident, but Tang Wei couldn't rest assured, "Brother Peng, there is an introduction in the forum that the French rocket failed to launch this year!"

"You have no confidence in your country?" Shen Dapeng asked with a smile.

"Of course I have confidence!"

Tang Wei was not confident. In fact, he didn't know why he had such patriotic feelings. Is it because he was in the capital? Or is it because you are at Shuimu University, which is full of elite talents? Or is it the follow-up reports on national television and newspapers and the heated discussions among people after dinner? He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he knew one thing clearly, that is, he wanted the country to be strong.

"Don't worry, our country will get better and better!" Shen Dapeng smiled firmly and patted Tang Wei on the shoulder to comfort him. He mentioned patriotism. He had been a co-police officer in his previous life and was influenced by his father, a policeman. He has great regard for the country. Love and self-confidence already have a more unique understanding.

In the next ten years, the rapid development of the country's economy, the vigorous rise of military power, and the reserve and return of talents are destined to become extremely powerful and people's lives will become happier.

Shen Dapeng has never worried too much about these things that will definitely happen in the future. Naturally, he also knows that the manned spaceflight of the Shenzhou series of spacecraft will be successful. Now he is watching the live broadcast with Tang Wei just to recall himself. It was just the original passion.

The three of them stayed up for more than an hour. During this period, Tang Wei went to the bathroom twice, Du Yuefeng went to the next door bedroom and asked for half a pack of melon seeds, and Shen Dapeng made three boxes of homemade hot pot. Everyone was full and the TV signal was better. Videos of the successful test flights of the Shenzhou series spacecraft were constantly played, as well as pictures of the staff debugging the Shenzhou 4.

"Brother Peng, it's already past twelve o'clock, why haven't you launched yet?"

"It should be soon!" Shen Dapeng remembered that in his previous life, he heard the countdown to the launch of Shenzhou-4 in his dormitory, but it was different from today's TV. At that time, he was a classmate in his dormitory, listening to the sound with a radio, and he didn't know the specific time. Remember, I only knew that I was half asleep and was woken up by the excited shouts of my classmates.

"According to the latest news, due to the strong southeast wind for several hours, the temperature at the Jiuquan launch base has risen to 19°C, and the wind has just weakened, which fully meets the launch standards. The Shenzhou 4 spacecraft will be ignited and launched in 30 minutes!"

As soon as the host on the TV finished speaking, before Tang Wei could shout excitedly, he heard shouts coming from next door. Apparently, the students next door were also waiting for the launch of Shenzhou 4.

A thirty-minute countdown appeared on the TV screen. With an accurate target to wait for, time became hurried. The three of them took a shower when they should, and read when they should read. Only Tang and Wei were left waiting in front of the TV.

"It's started, it's started!!"

Following Tang Wei's excited shouting, Shen Dapeng and Du Yuefeng returned to the TV. Watching the countdown enter five minutes, even Shen Dapeng, who knew the result, still felt his heartbeat speed up.

As the connecting rod on the tower was completely separated from the rocket, the countdown began loudly.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"..."

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"ignition!"

The rocket booster spits fire and propels it forward slowly, slowly upwards. The stars in the night sky appear dim under the shining of the huge flames, and the rocket gradually accelerates.

Shen Dapeng and the other three didn't quite understand the principle of rocket launch, but as the camera saw the rocket flying into space, the nervousness completely dissipated. In the dormitory and corridor, the cheers could not be suppressed.

At 0:40 on December 30, 2002, the Shenzhou IV spacecraft was successfully launched. This was the reward for countless people's hard work. It was a kind of reward and reward, and it was also a short-term relief.

For example, Shen Dapeng and others have to study for a semester, and finally have to pass the exam to check their success. They did not waste a semester, fail the class, and start everything all over again.
