Northwest China, Space City Launch Center.
This is one of the launch test bases for satellites and launch vehicles. It is the earliest and largest comprehensive satellite launch center and the only manned space launch site in China.
It is mainly responsible for tasks such as manned spacecraft, Tiangong target aircraft, satellite test launches, astronaut search and rescue, returnable spacecraft landing and recovery, and other types of rocket launch tests.
At this moment, in front of an aerospace building, with a red carpet on the floor and red banners hanging high, a group of staff wearing light blue coats, all with happy faces, were waiting quietly.
After a while, a black car stopped at the door, and an old man in his sixties with gray temples stepped out of the car in high spirits.
The visitor was Mr. Xie who had returned from illness. He stood at the door, but did not go in immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and looked at the three words "Aerospace Building" on the top. His eyes became hot, and then he smiled. , strode into the crowd.
"Mr. Xie, you are finally back. We have been waiting for this day for a long time." A middle-aged man came forward with an excited expression and a little red eyes.
This is Fang Heng, Mr. Xie's deputy who has worked for many years. Due to Mr. Xie's illness, he temporarily took over as the project leader.
Mr. Xie was full of emotions, held Fang Heng's hand, and said excitedly: "Xiao Fang, when I was not here, you completed the launch mission of the space station very well. I am very satisfied. Finally, there was no problem caused by my absence." The project is delayed. Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Heng said even more choked up: "Thanks to Mr. Xie for his good work before, I was able to take over successfully, but the follow-up work is still inseparable from you. In the major aerospace plans currently promulgated by the country, many tasks require your guidance. , we can successfully complete the task and continue to catch up with developed countries."
Mr. Xie looked around and nodded solemnly: "I'm back. I can work for at least another ten years. These ten years are crucial. Every task is very arduous. Everyone, thank you for your work."
Warm applause erupted from the crowd.
Mr. Xie came to the experimental center surrounded by crowds. Looking at the picture of the space station on the big screen, tears suddenly filled his eyes.
He finally saw China's space station ascending to the sky.
Although he didn't watch the launch in person and missed the most important moment, it contained all of his hard work.
This year, the space station will be officially completed in orbit, permanently stationed in the sky, and become a real celestial palace.
For him, this is the greatest achievement in life.
Mr. Xie looked at the scene of the astronauts working in the space station, and felt a sense of happy satisfaction.
This life is enough.
China finally has its own manned space station and can carry out large-scale space experiments.
No longer do you have to look at other people's faces, no longer have to bear blackmail from foreign countries, you can freely enter and exit your own space station and do any research.
I used to look at the International Space Station above my head and envy the days when astronauts from other countries were doing experiments inside. Those days are gone and will never come back.
Mr. Xie's face turned red. He remembered many, many scenes. Scenes flashed through his mind. Some were about previous arduous research, and more were about the prospect of the space station and the yearning for the future space program.
This space station plan has been planned and tested for nearly two decades. The ultimate goal is to independently build a permanent large-scale space station in low-Earth orbit and is expected to operate for more than ten years.
The core module has been launched, and the docking and assembly of the two experimental modules will be completed this year. Each group of astronauts will be stationed for 6 months before rotating with the next group of astronauts to complete a continuous space resident. The number of crew members is 2- 3 people, scale reaches 80 tons.
This is just the basic configuration of the space station. In the future, expansion modules can be continuously added as needed. It is expected that the number of long-term crew members can be increased to 3-6 people, and the maximum size can reach 180 tons.
The space station docks with multiple cargo and manned spacecraft to complete its permanent mission.
The astronauts' daily necessities, materials and equipment required for work will be transported by cargo spacecraft, while the manned spacecraft will be docked outside the laboratory as an emergency life-saving spacecraft that can carry astronauts back at any time.
In this way, Chinese astronauts will truly have a long-term orbiting home in space.
The journey to the stars and the sea is sailing again, and we have a solid base.
China is embarking on a new journey of interstellar exploration step by step and building a comprehensive space power.
Relying on the space station as a supply and maintenance base, subsequent plans to launch space telescopes to carry out sky surveys and lunar exploration missions will be carried out one by one.
In the next ten years, lunar probes will be continuously launched to and from the moon, and lunar scientific research stations will be gradually established.
All of this will be completed in his lifetime. What an exciting achievement it is and what a huge honor it is.
He will witness the rise of China's aerospace industry one by one.
We can even watch future generations stand on the moon and conduct large-scale scientific experiments.
Later, an asteroid probe will be launched to complete near-Earth asteroid sampling and comet detection.
Continue to complete the Mars sample return, Jupiter galaxy detection, and demonstrate the edge detection of the solar system.
Even, establish a Mars scientific research station, thus completely leaving the solar system and heading towards the sea of stars.
As he thought about it, two lines of tears slowly flowed down, and Mr. Xie reached out his hand to wipe them away quietly.
Then he said loudly: "Xiao Fang, please report to me your recent work tasks."
Fang Heng stood upright and reported loudly: "Mr. Xie, we plan to arrange more than 40 space launch missions this year, including 6 major manned space missions. The most important of them is this month's manned spacecraft launch mission... Two months later, there will be two launch missions of cargo spacecraft, Experimental Module 1 and Experimental Module 2..."

The neurology experts at the First People's Hospital of Kunming have a smooth relationship with Sanqing. They will participate in the second phase clinical project of a new drug for Alzheimer's disease and write an academic paper on the treatment of this disease.
This paper will be submitted to Nature, one of the oldest and most influential scientific magazines in the world. Moreover, Nature is one of the few interdisciplinary journals, unlike many other scientific magazines that only specialize in one field.
Its impact factor is also very high, exceeding 40 all year round. It is one of the most authoritative academic magazines in the world, alongside Science and Cell. In many fields of scientific research, the most important and cutting-edge research results are published in Nature every year.
It can be said that publishing an article in "Nature" is the dream of every scientific researcher. It is also an important basis for selecting Nobel Prizes, running for academicians, and demonstrating the research strength of universities and scientific research institutions.
Wei Kangle has seen its success. His previous clinical treatment paper on anti-cancer drugs was published in The Lancet, which greatly benefited him, and his influence abroad has grown rapidly.
If a new drug treatment paper is published in the journal Nature, it will only be more effective than the last time, better than spending hundreds of millions on advertising, because this is a journal that all academic institutions, including medical institutions, subscribe to, and the article only needs Once published, Sanqing's new drug will instantly become famous all over the world and cause a sensation.
Moreover, cooperation with hospitals can also make the second phase of clinical progress go more smoothly, lay a solid foundation for the third phase of clinical trials, and allow this drug to be approved for marketing faster.
A month later, a paper titled "Early Alzheimer's Disease Can Be Cured—Clinical Treatment with Gamma Secretase Inhibitors" appeared in the journal Nature and quickly spread around the world.
