Chapter 1005: Deep in the Gobi Desert, the wind and sand are thick
At the northwest R&D base, Wu Hao did not take a special plane this time, but took a civil aviation flight to come here.
As for his special plane, it was assigned to Tong Juan.
The most important thing for this person when running outside is his appearance. What's more, Tong Juan is still a woman, and it is not easy to travel around the world so hard. So, Wu Hao transferred the special plane directly to Tong Juan and the team she led.
.
As for himself, anyway, in China, he can make do with civil aviation. But there is no need to squeeze. Although it is a small regional passenger plane, there are still business class cabins and the conditions are not bad.
When the plane landed and they just stepped out of the cabin door, the sudden sandstorm gave them a disastrous blow.
Entering mid-March, it is already spring in the mainland, and everything is beginning to recover. However, it is still cold in the northwestern desert, and the sand and dust blown by the northwest wind shroud this vast wall.
Although the mainland now rarely encounters severe sand and dust weather due to the three-north protective forest.
But outside the Great Wall (note!), deep next door to the desert, this is the hometown of Sanddust, its home ground. Wu Hao and the others are just outside guests.
"Mr. Wu, it's windy and sandy here, let's go inside the house to take shelter." Seeing Wu Hao come down, Yu Chengwu, who wrapped himself tightly, shouted at him.
"Okay!" Wu Hao nodded, and then the group got into the Costari that they had been waiting for. This kind of small minibus is flexible and has a wide range of uses, so Wu Hao has equipped several of them here.
Used by everyone every day.
Entering the vehicle, Wu Hao wiped the dust on his face with the heated towel handed by his secretary Shen Ning, and said to Chu Tianyou who was also cleaning up: "Why is there such a big wind and sand?"
"Haha, this is good. The wind and sand were so strong a few days ago that the sky was blocked. Let alone airplanes, even cars did not dare to drive because they could not see the road clearly and the visibility was too low."
Yu Chengwu followed suit and complained.
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "What about the rocket launch, will it be affected?"
At this, Yu Chengwu nodded and shook his head: "It will definitely be affected if it continues blowing like this, but the weather forecast shows that the wind and sand will stop at midnight today, and the launch in the early morning of tomorrow will not be affected."
"That's good." Wu Hao nodded and smiled. Once the launch is postponed, it is likely that the subsequent launch missions will be affected, which is what he is more worried about.
"Mr. Wu, let me take you to the hotel to rest for a while." A middle-aged man in his forties said to him.
This middle-aged man who is somewhat fat, has eyes, and looks relatively honest is called Qi Guangkun. He is forty-eight years old this year and is the vice president of a company who was eliminated from the competition. At his age, especially someone with an administrative background, think about it again
It is more difficult to find a job. Basically, this is all you can do, hang around for a while, and then quit after you have enough years.
Qi Guangkun was naturally a little reluctant. He looked for many jobs, but was rejected because he was too old.
Even when they first recruited him, the human resources department thought he was too old and hesitated. In the end, it was Lin Jianliang, director of the human resources department, who personally recommended Wu Hao and made the decision to keep him.
But this is not a free stay. There are conditions, that is, he must come to work at the Northwest R&D Center.
For Wu Hao and others, it is also a very troublesome problem to send someone to take charge of the affairs of the Northwest R&D Center. As for young people, many are unwilling to come, but some of those who are willing to come are young and lack experience.
, and it’s too impatient.
As for the older ones, they are all raising families. And those in the middle and management levels are all people who have achieved some success in their previous careers. How can they accept this kind of job and be directly sent to this deserted place without anyone to take it?
It comes from deep within the arm of the bird.
So Wu Hao and the others were just giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Qi Guangkun actually agreed. It was probably because they had encountered too many obstacles elsewhere.
So the nearly fifty-year-old man, after many twists and turns, came to the depths of the Gobi desert. At the beginning, the base was still under construction, and the infrastructure was not complete enough, let alone any direct flights.
When Qi Guangkun first arrived and saw this desolate scene, he almost called the police, thinking that he had been deceived and trafficked. After finding out the facts later, he regretted it. But the contract had been signed, and he could leave if he regretted it now, but it also meant that this
A good-paying job is gone.
So he planned to work for a while first, but if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would stop. Unexpectedly, he would work for more than two years.
Things have changed a lot here, and Qi Guangkun has no intention of leaving. Sometimes he even takes his wife over to live with him for a while. In his spare time from work, he likes to tinker with the vegetables in the glass cube.
Fruits and flowers are at ease.
In fact, his main job as the person in charge of the base is to maintain the normal operation of the base and provide relevant logistics support for the various laboratories and R&D teams here. He is also a veritable butler.
For someone like him who has been engaged in administration for most of his life, this job is relatively easy. And he doesn't have to take care of many things here. They are the responsibility of their respective laboratories and R&D teams. He only needs to do the relevant logistics.
Just to protect the mission.
"No, I'd better go to the Space Launch Command and Control Center first and have a meeting to learn about the preparations before launch." Wu Hao waved his hand.
Knowing Wu Hao's work style, Qi Guangkun didn't try to persuade him. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll get off in front. If you have anything, just let me know."
"Haha, okay, just go about your business. If anything happens, I'll let you know directly." Wu Hao smiled and nodded.
Qi Guangkun nodded, then stood up and said something to the driver, and then got off the car in front.
Yu Chengwu smiled at him and said: "This Lao Qi is a very nice person. The young people in the base like him quite a lot."
"Haha, he's just a good guy. You just ask him to do this kind of logistics support service thing. If you really ask him to do other things, he can't do it." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Yu Chengwu nodded: "I don't know how he can be so good at being like this."
"Haha, this is not just good luck." Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "On the contrary, he can climb to that position, he is still very capable. Otherwise, we would not ask him to manage such a huge company.
base."
[Note 1: Under normal circumstances, we refer to the areas outside the Great Wall as the Great Wall, and the Three-North Protective Forest Belt was basically built along the lines of the Ming Great Wall, so it is also called the Green Great Wall. 】
