Chapter 802 Space-based weapons test site

"Fierce Dragon" is a work of art in the eyes of countless scientific researchers. The students of the Materials Department of HKUST are also considered quasi-scientific researchers, so "Fierce Dragon" is also the same in their eyes. Seeing Xu Ziling talking about this today, a

Everyone is very interested.

Of course, Xu Ziling would not talk about anything too core, but mainly explained some less important parts such as the fuselage and propeller. However, this was the first time that someone in the domestic academic community had officially lectured on this topic, and the students were naturally excited.

I listened with great interest.

After the class was over, everyone was still unfinished. Fortunately, there was another class tomorrow. Xu Ziling also made it clear that the topic would be discussed in the next class. When the get out of class was announced, everyone left slowly.

Otherwise, looking at it like that, they would probably have to let Xu Ziling talk until night before they would let him go.

After the lecture, it was not too early. Mr. Huang, Mr. Li and others visited there, and the sky became dark.

The old man originally wanted to stay with Xu Ziling for dinner, but Xu Ziling didn't want to cause trouble, so he declined.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared the food. Yang Ruolan had also returned from Li Cheng's house, but Yang Kaiming was not there. I heard that he had gone to the special police brigade.

"Oh, I should have gone to find my old comrades..."

When I first met Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, they were instructors in the SWAT team and had several months of work experience. They were in their own city, and they had not lost contact over the years.

"Well, eat... eat..."

After dinner, around seven o'clock, and taking a short rest, Xu Haoran's cell phone rang.

After talking on the phone a few times, Xu Haoran told his son that the container had been sent to the plane.

"Well, that's no problem. I've already contacted the Satellite Launch Center." Xu Ziling said.

…………

The next morning, Xu Ziling still went to the University of Science and Technology alone. After giving a lecture, he rejected Principal Xie’s intention to treat him to dinner. “I’m sorry, Principal Xie, I have to go out for something. I’ll fly out after one o’clock,” he said.

Now I have to hurry back and prepare."

"Okay, your business is important, go ahead. Before you go back to Africa, come to my place. The academician selection will be over soon. Because of your special status, the organizing committee does not require your presence...

"

It turns out that the selection process for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reached its final stage. President Xie, Mr. Li, and Mr. Huang all have their own sources of information. According to the information obtained from their respective channels, it is certain that Xu Ziling will become an academician.

.

Xu Ziling's status is somewhat special, so the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not require him to come there. Certificates and the like will be sent to the University of Science and Technology. Principal Xie only asked Xu Ziling to come here once.

"OK."

The title of academician is still a bit scary, and Xu Ziling was a little excited when he heard the news.

After leaving school and returning home, my mother Zhang Lan came back from school.

"Mom, why are you back?" Xu Ziling was very surprised.

"I'll come back and cook for you..."

The mother's answer left Xu Ziling speechless for a moment.

He has to travel countless times a year, but the number of times Zhang Lan has to take leave from school to go home and cook for him is too rare. This time, his father went with him, and he was treated like this?

Different people have different treatment.



Zhang Lan still had to go to work in the afternoon. After eating, she had no idea of ​​sending Xu Ziling and the others off. After the family finished eating, she gave her husband, son, and daughter-in-law a few words, and then hurried to school.

"The matters in the morning haven't been taken care of yet. I want to finish them at this time and won't send you off."

Seeing their mother leaving in a hurry, both Xu Ziling and his son were a little bit dumbfounded.

With their family's current situation, there is really no need for Zhang Lan to go to work anymore. Xu Ziling also mentioned this matter, but she said that staying at home is the most boring, so it is better to go to work.

Xu Ziling originally wanted to arrange a lighter job for her, but she was not happy, saying that she had been used to it after being a teacher for more than 20 years, and she really didn't want to change it to something else.

So, until now, she is still being her teacher honestly.

Of course, this is not the reason why Xu Ziling and his son are depressed. What makes them so is that Zhang Lan is now working harder and harder. Students don't start class until after two o'clock in the afternoon. This is basically the teacher's rest time, so he asks for leave in the morning one day in advance. After finishing get out of class in an hour, I actually spent an hour and a half making up for it. This is so dedicated.

He is so dedicated that he doesn’t even send off his husband, son, and daughter-in-law.



Of course, Li Cheng and Yang Kaiming were going to the Satellite Launch Center. Li Cheng was at home in the morning, and Yang Kaiming was still in the SWAT team. He said he would go directly to the military factory to join them.

After staying at home for a while, Xu Ziling notified Li Cheng, and then several people drove a car to the military factory.

After arriving, it was still a little early, so I had my luggage sent to the airport. Xu Ziling went to the laboratory for a walk, and then left with Mr. Zhang.

Star City is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Northern Satellite Launch Center. At the cruising speed of the Gulfstream 550, it took nearly four hours. At 1:30, the plane took off on time.

When we arrived at the satellite launch center, it was already half past five in the afternoon.

It is autumn now, and the northwest region is not in the same time zone as the central region, so it is not yet dark at this time.

"Director Cao, we meet again. This time I brought two bottles of good wine. Let's have a drink together then." As soon as he got off the plane, Xu Ziling saw his old acquaintance Director Cao and said with a smile.

Director Cao has dealt with Xu Ziling several times. After getting acquainted, he became less polite and more casual. He was originally from the northwest and liked to drink a little wine. When Xu Ziling said this, he immediately laughed and nodded.

Said: "Definitely, definitely..."

He already knew Yang Kaiming, Li Cheng, and Yang Ruolan. When everyone got off the plane, Xu Ziling introduced Xu Haoran and Mr. Zhang to him.

"This is Zhang Yuanchao, Mr. Zhang. Director Cao must have heard of it."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Director Cao immediately stretched out his hands to Mr. Zhang and said with a little excitement, "Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the head of the 623 Institute, a well-known artillery expert, how could I not know? Mr. Zhang, welcome

You guide our work!"

Mr. Zhang shook Director Cao's extended hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Xiao Cao, I'm just a bad old man, but I don't deserve such praise. I'm just here today to give you a look, and I can't be called a guide."

…”

Mr. Zhang is almost 70 years old. When facing the middle-aged Director Cao, it is not an exaggeration to call him "Little Cao".

Director Cao didn't feel anything was wrong or unhappy at all. Instead, he felt it was very kind.



"This is my father Xu Haoran. He is coming with me to witness the launch of the satellite. I hope it won't disturb..."

Before Xu Ziling finished speaking, Director Cao interrupted him and said complainingly: "Your introduction is not interesting enough."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Xu Ziling's reaction, he said to Xu Haoran: "Mr. Xu is a rare visitor. It is our honor to come to our place. Welcome..."

Well, seeing this situation, Xu Ziling also knew that others knew his father's identity, so he simply didn't say much and let them handle it by themselves.

After saying a few polite words, I got in the car and headed to the base. On the way, Xu Ziling asked about the "goods".

"Don't worry, we have already arranged the things according to the requirements of your randomly arrived technicians. As long as they undergo your final debugging, we can conduct field testing."

Strictly speaking, this launch does not have much direct relationship between Xu Ziling and the launch center, because the launch business is contracted by the Great Wall Company, but Xu Ziling has an old relationship with them, so there is no launch issue like ordinary business.

The center does not mind providing additional support to Xu Ziling and others.

Strictly speaking, it is not easy to find a suitable venue for a field test like this. Among other things, it is extremely difficult to transport such precious things, not to mention the huge amount of damage that will occur during the test.

The energy response will bring a lot of attention.

After communication, the launch center was able to provide them with such a venue, which is really not a big deal.

After receiving such an answer, Xu Ziling naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

After arriving at the hotel in the base and settling down, Xu Ziling saw that it was still early, so he proposed to go see the space-based weapons first.

"Just in time, I just wanted to ask you some questions..." Director Cao is a senior executive of the launch center and knows very well about space-based weapons.

When he arrived last night, he went to see this legendary weapon in person. On weekdays, they launched satellites, but they were also responsible for test launches of missiles. Of course, he was interested in weapons.

When he saw the real thing, it was hard for him to imagine that the range of this thing could reach tens of thousands of kilometers. He was really curious and wished he could inquire about it while Xu Ziling was around.

So Xu Ziling said he wanted to take a look, and he immediately led them there.

The area where the space-based weapons were placed was a little far away from the living area. When the group went out, they got in the car under the leadership of Director Cao and drove deep into the yellow no-man's land for a full twenty minutes before they arrived at the end of the field.

.

"This is a place where we temporarily store equipment. It is seldom used. Once it is used, it will basically be big and destructive..."

In front of you is a completely independent concrete factory building. It looks very old from the outside, but when you walk inside, you will find something special. Not to mention it is clean. Everything is as bright as new, even a screw on the steel frame.

.

After hearing Director Cao's explanation, he knew without thinking that this was a base within a base. Looking at the launch platform in the center of the factory, Xu Ziling understood what the lethal thing he was talking about was.

At this time, the space-based weapon had been erected on the launch platform. Several people approached. Xu Ziling looked at the roof and found that the roof was movable.

"This is almost like a launch silo. The roof is movable. When testing, just open it..."

Seeing Xu Ziling's actions, Director Cao immediately explained.
