"Here are two soft sleeper tickets to Beidu."
Zhang Xingyang handed the ID card and letter of introduction to the conductor behind the window.
After receiving it, the conductor was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the work unit above, and then said to Zhang Xingyang viciously:
"You spent so much of the country's money and you only got an exploding Sky Monkey, and you still have the nerve to sit in a soft sleeper?!"
Zhang Xingyang's eyes were calm and he looked at the angry female conductor in front of him. He didn't say anything more, but repeated:
"A soft sleeper ticket to Beidu, thank you."
"Pah!" The conductor slapped the ID and letter of introduction together with the ticket heavily on the counter to vent his anger.
Zhang Xingyang put his ID, letter of introduction and ticket into his bag and put them away. He glanced at the conductor at the counter who was still angry.
I thought to myself: Failure is the mother of success.
As a person who originally lived in the 22nd century, Zhang Xingyang can actually understand people's psychology at this point in time.
People at this time are sensitive and fragile towards their country's emotions.
After the failed rocket launch was broadcast live on television, overwhelming accusations poured in against the person in charge, Zhang Xingyang's father, Zhang Jianguo, who had died in the accident.
In the 22nd century when Zhang Xingyang worked and lived before, the Dragon Kingdom, as the only superpower in the world, had footprints all over the moon, Mars, Titan, and Europa.
The First Starfleet Group has even set out to establish a forward base in the Oort Cloud in preparation for exploring the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri.
In such a country, everyone has a very high tolerance for technological failure. Even if it fails, everyone will mainly comfort it and rarely receive such criticism.
However, after Zhang Xingyang has lived in this era for a period of time, he has been able to understand the psychology of people in this era.
After all, at this time, the Dragon Kingdom's economy had not yet begun to take off and become the largest economy in the world.
It's hard to control your emotions when faced with a technological failure like this.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Xingyang can tolerate publicly known traitorous remarks.
Walking out of the sparsely populated train station, Xichang is very warm in February. As a tropical plateau climate, it rarely gets cold.
Outside the station, Chen Fang's heart was as cold as ever. Even in Xichang, which is like spring all year round, he couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
The rocket launch failed and the temporary dormitory and collaboration building for aerospace engineering and technical personnel at the launch base was destroyed. His most proud disciple at the time happened to be resting in the dormitory because he had been working overtime in the past few days.
As a result, it was exploded by a rocket with the power of dozens of tons of TNT explosives, and it was instantly blown into countless pieces.
"Professor Chen, this is your ticket back to Beidu."
Zhang Xingyang took out his ID card, letter of introduction and ticket from his bag and handed them to Professor Chen Fang.
"Oh, it's really shameful that you bought me a soft-sleeper carriage without any success."
While talking about his experience this time, Chen Fang casually put the things into his handbag and sighed.
"Professor Chen, don't be too sad. Failure is the mother of success. We will definitely get better and better in the future."
Zhang Xingyang comforted Professor Chen who was hit hard by the failure of the rocket launch and the death of his disciple.
Chen Fang felt a little better and said softly:
"Xiao Zhang, I also know that it's not easy for you when the rocket launch fails. Your father and I have been friends for many years. This time he passed away in the accident. You not only have to take care of your mother, but you also have to be responsible for research as the acting dean. Thank you to all of you for your hard work."
Zhang Xingyang felt Chen Fang's concern for him. Although his face did not change, his heart was still warm.
"Professor Chen, although Longguo Aerospace is experiencing difficulties now, the future of our aerospace industry is bright."
Chen Fang frowned when he heard this, as if he was asking Zhang Xingyang or himself:
"Our space journey has just begun, and we have suffered such a major setback. Can we really get better and better in the future?"
"Of course we will. We will carry people into space, build our own space station, land on the moon, and land on Mars until we plant red flags throughout the solar system. Our journey is to the stars and the sea!"
When he said this, Zhang Xingyang's eyes shone with a light that was difficult for others to understand. After all, these things were done in his own time. Zhang Xingyang believed more than others that this country, which had just woken up from its slumber, could Standing among the stars!
Looking at the excited Zhang Xingyang, Chen Fang was a little surprised. After all, after such a major accident, no one could maintain such high morale and firm belief in the development of the aerospace industry.
"Xiao Zhang, sometimes ideas are beautiful, but reality is often very cruel." Chen Fang sighed and said: "If I can see our own astronauts land on the moon in this life, then I will die." Sorry."
"It will definitely happen. In less than thirty years, we will definitely be able to land on the moon. You will not be eighty years old at that time. You will definitely be able to see it with your own eyes."
Zhang Xingyang looked seriously at Professor Chen, who seemed to have lost all strength, and said his promise.
According to my own memory, the country actually landed on the moon in 2030. With all the black technologies brought from the future in my mind, it is only possible to advance this time, so landing on the moon within thirty years is actually very conservative. Promise of.
"Then let me borrow your auspicious words, Xiao Zhang. Although I didn't find the specific problem this time," Chen Fang changed his subject and talked about the launch accident.
"But I think there is probably a problem with the attitude control system. Unfortunately, I don't know which control component is the problem. Xiao Zhang, you must check it carefully after you go back."
Zhang Xingyang nodded in agreement and said:
"The rocket will tilt and hit the mountain. The control system must be the key to the problem. The institute will conduct special simulation research to find out the real cause of this accident."
Now that Zhang Xingyang has already stated his plans for the base, Chen Fang is not in a position to say anything more.
He glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late. You go back first. I'll just go into the station and wait for the bus."
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Chen." Zhang Xingyang said sincerely.
Chen Fang waved his hand and said: "It's no big deal. I just hope you can find the cause of the accident as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee the success of the next launch. This accident has caused international doubts about our launch capabilities. There are even rumors that many orders need to be re-signed. It is actually you who have done the hard work."
"We will, Professor Chen." Zhang Xingyang said with a smile.
Now that Zhang Xingyang has come to this era, he will not let those dark moments in aerospace history happen again.
This time, this ancient country will achieve its take-off at a faster speed and plant its red flag across the starry sky!
