Top Student

"Senior, I just helped solve a small problem." Xu You said modestly.

Xu You remembered Wu Jing's advice to him, from now on, he must be more cautious in his words and deeds.

Xu You knew in his heart that he was only invited to come here for an internship, and he was not the focus of everyone's attention like the one at Ji University.

This time, Xu You still focuses on learning, and has no plans to participate in technology research and development.

After arriving at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, Xu You finally felt the dry climate here.

Looking around, there are large deserts all around.

Just from the perception, it makes people feel very dry and desolate.

But in sharp contrast to the desert are the space-related facilities.

Just like seeing a large oasis in the desert, it gives people strong hope.

"To be honest, the conditions here are quite difficult, and may not be as good as those in many rural areas. You need to get used to it for a while. If you really can't adapt, you can leave early. Anyway, you are different from us, so you don't need to Those internship experiences."

After hearing this, Xu You didn't take it seriously.

Finally, when the opportunity came, Xu You naturally would not leave easily.

What does it matter if the environment is a little more difficult?

When they arrived at the gate of the launch center, the security personnel confirmed Xu You's identity and carefully checked the belongings Xu You was carrying before letting Xu You in.

Xu You also felt the serious atmosphere here, and his expression couldn't help becoming more solemn.

"By the way, let me tell you something. In the launch center, there is no WiFi, and the computer cannot access the Internet normally. You can only use our intranet. You must be mentally prepared for this."

Because inside the launch center, a lot of information is very confidential, so there is no such thing as WiFi.

"Okay, senior, I see."

Xu You didn't care much about WiFi and the like, anyway, Xu You didn't usually go online much.

Even when surfing the Internet, most of them are looking for various materials, or watching some learning videos and the like.

"Senior, is there a library in the launch center?"

"It does exist."

Hearing this, Xu You finally felt relieved.

After entering the launch center, Fu Cheng led Xu You to a room.

"Xu You, take a look at this non-disclosure agreement. If there is no problem, sign it and you will be an official intern."

Xu You glanced at the content of the non-disclosure agreement, which basically means that all kinds of information about the launch center must be kept strictly confidential.

Xu You had no doubts about these natural questions, and immediately signed his name.

"Okay, let me take you to the dormitory first. The leader knows about your relationship with Hu Shucheng, so he specially arranged the two of you together to take care of you."

Hearing this news, Xu You was also very happy.

It is true that in this strange place, being able to have a familiar person by my side makes me feel much more at ease.

Fu Cheng took Xu You to the direction of the dormitory.

At this time, I saw a figure in the distance running towards Xu You.

"Xu You! You're here!"

Xu You took a closer look and found that it was Hu Shucheng who came.

"Look how excited you are. The ground is full of sand, running so fast, it's full of dust." Fu Cheng said.

"Brother, I can see Xu You here, can you not be excited!"

Xu You was also very excited, but under such circumstances, he could only shake hands with Hu Shucheng tightly.

"Brother, you can do your work. I'll just take Xu You to the dormitory."

"Okay, then I'll go there, take good care of Xu You."

"Don't worry, brother."

At this time, Xu You carefully looked at Hu Shucheng.

"Old Hu, how long have you been here? Why are your lips so dry?"

Hu Shucheng licked his lips and said:

"It's been two or three months. There is no way, the climate here is like this, and drinking more water is not enough. Let's go, first go to the dormitory to pack your luggage."

When he arrived at the dormitory, Xu You put his luggage on the ground, sat on a chair, and took a short rest.

After this journey, Xu You was still a little tired.

The environment of the dormitory is not bad. Although it is not as high-end as a hotel, it is still very clean and tidy.

"Did you sign the confidentiality agreement?"

"Signed."

Knowing that Xu You had signed the non-disclosure agreement, Hu Shucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, now we are equivalent to interns at the same level. You have the right to know the secrets I know."

Hearing Hu Shucheng's words, Xu You suddenly became interested.

Most of the fatigue caused by the journey has also disappeared.

"Tell me about it!"

"Well, but actually I don't know much, I just know some general information, and I don't know many specific things. We are actually the lowest-level interns, and we don't have access to too much inside information. "

Xu You was also mentally prepared for this. After all, Xu You and Hu Shucheng were freshman students, and it was already very good to be able to enter the launch center, and it was unlikely that they would come into contact with core secrets.

"Xu You, we have a big project underway now. The research and development of our new generation of heavy-duty launch vehicles has already begun."

"A new generation of heavy launch vehicles?" Xu You asked in surprise.

"That's right. This is a real heavy-duty launch vehicle with a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons."

"Carrying capacity of 100 tons?"

Hearing this news, Xu You had another expression of incredulity.

Xu You knew in his heart what a rocket with a carrying capacity of 100 tons meant.

In history, only the Saturn 5 rocket in the United States has a carrying capacity of 100 tons.

The payload of the Saturn 5 rocket in low-Earth orbit reached a terrifying 140 tons.

In contrast, China's current rocket with the largest carrying capacity has a payload of only 25 tons.

"Yes, it is that powerful. If it is really successfully developed, it will be a greater heavy-duty launch vehicle than Saturn 5."

Although Hu Shucheng has not yet said why the two are rockets with the same level of carrying capacity, the meanings of the two are not the same.

But Xu You probably understood the reason.

"Xu You, you should know that the Saturn 5 is a product of the 1960s. Why hasn't a rocket with a stronger carrying capacity been born after so many years? Is it just a technical problem? Actually, it's not."

"Is it because it's too expensive?" Xu You asked.

"That's right. The cost of Saturn 5 is really too high. At that time, the United States allocated a total of 6.5 billion US dollars for Saturn 5. This is 6.5 billion at that time! Now, I don't know how many times it will be doubled." .”

The same rocket, if Huaxia wants to manufacture it, it still has such capabilities in terms of technology alone.
