In fact, Wu Hao and Lin Wei didn't go anywhere, they just walked around nearby. After all, they had to go back to the launch site in the afternoon.
They did not deliberately look for any tourist attractions, but specially selected some places with good reputations among locals and unique charm. As for the so-called tourist attractions that were over-developed, they did not go there much.
Although they were just on a private trip this time, they received very good reception wherever they went. Basically, the person in charge of the scenic spot came to greet them and personally accompanied them on the trip.
This kind of special care is a mixed blessing for them. With these people accompanying them, they are obviously a little uncomfortable and cannot completely relax. On the good side, with these people accompanying them, they can visit and have some sightseeing that is private to the outside world.
In an open place, you can also learn a lot of things that tourists don't know.
So after visiting a few scenic spots, they were unwilling to go there and just wandered around casually.
The happy time is always short. Before the two of them had enough fun, the sun had already passed above their heads.
After looking at the time, Wu Hao showed a helpless expression to Lin Wei. Lin Wei smiled and expressed understanding.
However, the two of them did not go back directly because they were both a little hungry after playing for a day, so they found a local restaurant with unique characteristics and went in. This restaurant did not have many tourists, and most of them were locals.
The restaurant I was patronizing suddenly had so many people come in, which obviously made the boss a little panicked.
However, he soon recognized Wu Hao and Lin Wei after being reminded by others, and then warmly entertained them.
Coconut chicken, Li bamboo tube rice, Wenchang chicken, Hele crab, etc. The two of them had a meal together, and also tasted the more authentic local Nanhai food. In fact, the taste of this very authentic local food is not necessarily
It can cater to the tastes of tourists. Therefore, many restaurants have made some improvements in order to cater to the tastes of tourists. The improved taste may not be worse than the original ones. As long as tourists think so, it is just that some locals think it is not authentic.
That’s all.
This phenomenon actually occurs in various places. In order to cater to the needs of tourists, many places have improved these traditional local delicacies specifically to entertain tourists. However, this improvement has been criticized and resisted by locals, who believe that it is corrupting
Tradition. As everyone knows, the original local food may not be loved by tourists. If tourists were interested in it, there would not be so many improved food.
After finishing their meal, Wu Hao and Lin Wei took a photo with the restaurant owner and waiters as usual, then said goodbye and left, returning directly to the launch site.
As for their luggage in the hotel, it had already been returned to the guest house at the launch site by the accompanying staff.
When we returned to the Nanhai launch site, the entire launch site was already in a war-ready state. Although there were still more than ten hours before the launch, there was already a sense of nervousness permeating the launch site.
Compared with other people's strict access control, it didn't take much effort for Wu Hao and others to enter. After verifying their identities, the Jingwei personnel immediately gave them a pass, and they entered the launch site unimpeded.
After returning to the guest house and taking a short rest, Wu Hao changed into more formal clothes and prepared to go to the launch command and control center. Lin Wei stayed at the guest house. Can't she enter the launch command and control center with Wu Hao? She could only go to the launch command and control center with many guests.
They sat down in the auditorium together. But it was still early, and they would not go until the launch was about to take place. There would be special staff arrangements by then, so she did not need to worry about it.
Putting on his work ID, Wu Hao led several people into the command and control center.
At this moment, the entire command and control center was filled with a tense atmosphere. Because it was a manned launch, Wu Hao could feel the excitement on the faces of the staff at the launch site, as well as Wu Hao and his rocket and spacecraft technicians.
There was a hint of seriousness, concentration, and unprecedented seriousness.
Seeing Wu Hao come in, Yu Chengwu, Gao Jinguang and the others immediately stood up and prepared to walk towards him to say hello, but Wu Hao stopped him with his hand and motioned for them to continue working. As for Wu Hao, he came to the leadership table and took his seat.
Because it was a civilian launch mission, the people who presided over the launch this time were Wu Hao and Director Zhou Chengfang, the leader of the astronaut management department, in addition to Gao Jinguang, the person in charge of the launch site.
At this moment, Gao Jinguang was busy with various preparations before the launch. As for Zhou Chengfang, Wu Hao inquired about it and went to Feitian Pavilion in person to prepare various preparations for the astronauts' departure.
In fact, there are still variables in the selection of astronauts until the last minute. Because an astronaut's slightest reaction may lose his flight qualification and give way to a backup astronaut.
Therefore, the more it is at this last moment, the more attention must be paid. So even though he has experienced twenty or thirty launch missions, Zhou Chengfang is still uneasy and chooses to take charge personally.
So at this moment, Wu Hao was the only one sitting at the leadership table of the launch command and control center, which made him a little bored. There was no one around him to talk to.
Various data information is displayed on the large screen. But the most eye-catching thing is naturally the launch tower and rocket in the huge video window on one side.
At this moment, the two rotating platforms below have been opened, revealing the first-stage rocket body part of the rocket. Different from other liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen cryogenic rockets, Wu Hao's launch vehicle uses semi-solid foam propulsion fuel.
Although the propellant is also liquid, it will become semi-solid when pressurized and remain at room temperature. Therefore, the rocket will not emit any cold air or white smoke.
It is also because it uses this kind of semi-solid foam propulsion fuel, so the fuel filling can be carried out in advance, as early as during the day, the fuel filling work has been completed. Unlike other conventional rockets, which can only be done a few days before launch.
Fuel refilling is only carried out every hour.
There are still eight or nine hours before the launch. The launch was carried out at five o'clock in the morning. It is only eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which is still early. So Wu Hao does not plan to stay here all the time. In fact, he plans to stay here for a while.
, and then go back and take a nap first.
Of course, he couldn't sleep until the launch and then come to watch the launch. Because two hours before the launch, there would be a departure ceremony for the astronauts, and as the main person in charge, he would also be present to preside over it.
This is also one of his main tasks in coming to the Nanhai launch site this time. As the owner of the spacecraft and rocket, Wu Hao must come and personally see the astronauts off.
