Chapter 290 It Can Be Described as Perfect
In fact, it is not particularly difficult to watch a rocket launch live. As long as you can get to the location where the rocket is launched, anyone can theoretically see the rocket launch on site.
However, this kind of viewing experience is not that good, because outsiders are not allowed to enter the center of the rocket launch. At most, you can only watch it from a few kilometers away from the rocket launch, and you cannot feel the more realistic atmosphere of the scene.
But Ning Chen's viewing effect is completely different. He can get as close as possible to the rocket launch location inside the launch site while ensuring safety.
This will give viewers an immersive feeling and even directly feel the huge impact of the rocket launch.
"Great! I'm going to ask for leave from the college. I hope the college can give me the opportunity to go to the scene."
"Don't worry, you've finished your classes this semester anyway, so there shouldn't be any problems. This is the first rocket launch at the Zibei Space Launch Site. If you miss it, you'll never have the chance to see it again."
After telling Song Xiyun about watching the rocket launch, Ning Chen thought of something again.
"It wouldn't be good if I only brought one person to the site... It would be better to bring other people from the laboratory with me."
Although only Song Xiyun had told Ning Chen before that she wanted to watch the rocket launch live, Ning Chen felt that many people would want to experience such a grand scene live.
Moreover, the people at the Zibei Space Launch Site just now told Ning Chen that they could bring a few more people there. As long as there are not too many people, there should be no problem.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen also talked about this matter with Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, and Sui Feng.
When they heard that Ning Chen actually wanted to take them to watch the rocket launch, everyone seemed very excited and expressed their willingness to accept the invitation and go to the scene to experience this exciting moment.
"Teacher Ning, since we are asking for leave to go to the site together this time, I have to report it to the college. However, the college should be able to approve our request. After all, this opportunity is too rare."
"Yes, fortunately this time it will not be delayed too long and will not affect normal teaching and scientific research work."
Many people may not have such an opportunity in their lifetime, so Xu Zhou and others cherish this opportunity very much.
After Xuzhou reported the matter to the college, their leave application was successfully approved.
Even Liu Xu himself wanted to go to the scene with him, but because Liu Xu was the dean of the School of Materials and had many other tasks to deal with, he couldn't get away, so he could only reluctantly give up such an opportunity.
The day before the rocket was launched, Ning Chen and others got on the plane to Zibei.
On the plane, several people seemed very excited, but because there were other people on the plane, they could only chat quietly to prevent others from hearing their chat.
"Ning Chen... why did the Zibei Space Launch Site suddenly invite us to watch the rocket launch?"
After hearing Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen hesitated and then said:
"Song Xiyun, I think you should have a rough answer in your mind. In fact, the real result is similar to what you imagined."
Naturally, Ning Chen would not directly tell Song Xiyun that he helped the Zibei Space Launch Site create a new rocket launch model. After all, this was confidential content.
Song Xiyun understood that there should be many things here that were not convenient for Ning Chen to talk about, so she did not ask any more questions.
However, Song Xiyun could also guess that this was probably because Ning Chen helped Zibei Space Launch Site complete some project research, so he got such an opportunity.
Several people got off the plane. The people at the launch site had already prepared at the airport in advance and took Ning Chen and others to the launch site.
Except for Ning Chen, everyone else came to the launch site for the first time, and they were all very surprised by the scene in front of them.
Since tomorrow is the official date of the rocket launch, there are not many people waiting outside the launch site. However, it is said that many people have come to Zibei from other places just to experience this shocking rocket at close range. scene.
"Teachers, to be honest, the hotels near the launch site have been almost full in the past two days. We did not expect that everyone would be so enthusiastic about coming to watch the rocket launch."
"Yes, after all, this is the first rocket launch from the Zibei Space Launch Site. Of course, in addition to the rocket launch, I think the launch location in Qiong Province is also one of the important reasons. After watching the rocket launch, you can also visit Qiong Province Having a good time is like killing two birds with one stone."
Since there was nothing going on today, everyone walked around casually within the limits allowed by the launch site, chatting about things related to the aerospace field.
"Although this space launch site is newly built, it is said that this is the future space launch center of Xia Kingdom. Because of the advantage of low latitude, it is easier to launch rockets here than other space launch sites..."
Xu Zhou obviously had a certain understanding of the situation in Xia Guo's aerospace field, and he started talking here.
"Mr. Xu, we will try to study some materials related to the aerospace field in the future and make our contribution to the aerospace industry of the motherland."
Hearing what Sui Feng said, Xu Zhou felt that maybe Ning Chen had quietly completed this work at some point.
"Okay, let's go back and do some research to see if we can start a subject related to aerospace materials. We'll see the rocket launch next time, and we'll try to have the materials we developed on the rocket!"
Xu Zhou purposely said these words in front of Ning Chen, just to see if Ning Chen would react, but Ning Chen's expression was very calm, as if he was really not involved in any work of this rocket launch.
After several people walked around the launch site, Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, and Sui Feng all went back first, leaving only Ning Chen and Song Xiyun at the launch site.
Since this was the first time she met Xu Zhou and the others, Song Xiyun was not very familiar with anyone except Ning Chen. She didn't say much just now, and she was more listening to other people chatting.
"Ning Chen... I didn't expect that you could really fulfill my wish."
At first, Song Xiyun only mentioned this matter to Ning Chen and did not really hold out much hope. But after Ning Chen told her about this matter, Song Xiyun knew that Ning Chen had always put her wish aside. In the heart.
"It's nothing. I happened to have this opportunity, so I brought you here with me. However, the launch site has also said that we hope that we can use our own abilities to bring them some new research results in the future."
Of course, the people at the space field didn't really say that. The reason why Ning Chen said that was just to make their invitation this time seem more reasonable.
However, Song Xiyun took Ning Chen's words seriously and replied seriously:
"Yes, such an opportunity is really rare. When I go back, I have to study what mathematical knowledge can be helpful for rocket launches."
In this way, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun kept wandering around the launch site until it got dark, and they returned to their respective rooms.
In the past, due to work reasons, it was difficult for Ning Chen to have time to enjoy such a relaxed state. However, during the time spent with Song Xiyun, Ning Chen really felt relaxed throughout his body.
The next day, everyone got up early and prepared to watch today's rocket launch.
"Wow, I didn't expect so many people to come outside. This rocket launch really attracted a lot of attention."
Outside the launch site, there were already crowds of tourists from all over the country to watch the rocket launch. This is enough to prove how important the rocket launch is in their hearts.
Of course, watching a rocket launch from outside is definitely much different than inside the launch site, and Ning Chen and the others can enjoy the best viewing angle.
"Teachers, do you want to watch the rocket launch outside or from the control center?"
In the control center, you can watch the rocket launch scene from various angles through the central control screen.
However, Ning Chen and the others preferred to watch from outside, so as to have a more live atmosphere.
"We are all here, so there is no need to stay indoors anymore. Please take us to a suitable place outside."
"Okay, I will take you to the best viewing position. Of course, it is very safe here, but because it is relatively close to the rocket launch location, you will feel the impact of the rocket launch."
"That's the best. Don't worry, our physical fitness is good enough and we won't be affected by the impact of the rocket." Ning Chen said with a smile.
To be able to withstand the intensity of engineering experiments, it goes without saying that Ning Chen and his team's physical fitness must be better than average.
Although Song Xiyun is a girl, she has excellent physical fitness that is not inferior to that of men because of her long-distance running habit.
Following the guidance of the staff, Ning Chen and others arrived at the target location and were ready to watch the rocket launch.
Ning Chen had to admit that this was indeed a perfect place to watch the rocket launch. From here, you could clearly see the main body of the rocket. Even Ning Chen felt that this distance was too close.
But out of trust in Zibei Space Launch Site, Ning Chen knew that this distance was definitely safe enough.
Unknowingly, the staff responsible for the rocket launch had completed the final inspection work and were about to enter the countdown stage for launch.
This rocket launch mission is not a simple experiment, but to send a satellite into space, which is also part of the Beidou project.
As the countdown began, the air in the entire launch site seemed to freeze, and everyone focused on the launch pad.
"Five...four...three...two...one...ignite!"
The moment the countdown reached zero, the bottom of the rocket burst into flames, and the entire launch site was illuminated even brighter by the flames.
"I didn't expect... watching the rocket launch from close range, I can really feel such a powerful impact!"
Xu Zhou was a little surprised by this real feeling. If they were closer to the center of the rocket launch, they might really be blown away by the impact.
Ning Chen enjoyed this feeling very much, which was something he couldn't experience watching rocket launches on TV.
"Look, the rocket has taken off!"
With a deafening roar, the rocket slowly left the launch pad and flew towards the distant sky.
At this moment, people watching the rocket launch excitedly shouted in celebration.
Even though the entire rocket launch process is not over yet, everyone can see that this rocket launch was very smooth.
As time passed little by little, the rocket successfully completed various separation processes and entered the atmosphere.
It was not until the rocket in the sky could no longer be seen with the naked eye that everyone reluctantly left the launch site, and still did not get over the excitement.
Just when Ning Chen and others were about to go back to their room, a staff member from the launch site walked over to them.
"Teachers, our leader invites you to sit in the control center and talk about this rocket launch."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what this staff member said.
After all, this time, they only came to watch the rocket launch, and at most they were guests of the launch site. However, they did not expect that they would be invited to the control center before the launch was officially over.
Ning Chen was not as surprised as others. After all, Ning Chen had helped the launch site make a new rocket launch model. Through the process he just watched, Ning Chen could also see that this rocket launch had already used his own Model.
Xu Zhou and Song Xiyun had previously speculated that Ning Chen should have helped the launch site complete some scientific research projects, and the words of the staff just now further confirmed their conjecture.
"Okay, we'll go over there."
Naturally, Ning Chen would not refuse such an invitation, because Ning Chen also wanted to continue the cooperation with the launch site.
Arriving at the control center, the leaders of the launch site greeted Ning Chen and others one by one.
"I'm really glad that all the teachers can come to the scene and watch the rocket launch process. You are all top talents in Xiaguo's scientific research community. I believe that we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future."
Hearing this, Marshal Yuan and Sui Feng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Judging from the scientific research results of Ning Chen, Xu Zhou and Song Xiyun, they can indeed be regarded as the top talents in the country. However, Yuan Shuai and Sui Feng are still students. Even if they can stay in school in the future, their results will still be a little behind.
"We also very much hope to have such an opportunity. If I guess correctly, this rocket launch should be very successful, right?" Ning Chen asked.
In the control center, Ning Chen could clearly see the various data of the rocket launch. With his understanding of these data, Ning Chen knew that the launch process could be described as almost perfect.
