October 27th, 2552.
A few astronomy enthusiasts who were traveling in the South China Sea noticed something unusual when they observed the Dragon Country's South China Sea launch base from afar.
In the Dragon Country's South China Sea Rocket Launch Base, an assembled Zheng Tu-5 rocket was slowly moved from the vertical assembly plant to the mobile launch platform. Then, it was transported to the launch tower through the transfer track.
Through a telephoto lens.
The photos of the Zheng Tu-5 rocket quickly spread on the Internet and immediately attracted a large number of tourists to various scenic spots in the South China Sea for observation.
Hilton Beach, which was known as the golden observation point in the outer field, was packed with tens of thousands of people in just two hours.
Countless people took out their cameras and mobile phones, frantically taking pictures of the distant rocket.
The nearby vendors took advantage of this opportunity to sell all kinds of iced drinks and ice cream.
All kinds of noises made this place even more lively than the market.
"This is the Journey 5 rocket, right? I didn't hear about a launch plan."
"Could this be a secret launch mission? If we take pictures here, will we be leaking secrets?”
"Secret my ass! The South China Sea Rocket Launch Base had never accepted any secret launch missions. If there were any important launch, it would be carried out at several other launch bases that were more secretive.”
"That's right. It's for this reason that the South China Sea Rocket Launch Base is a holy land for countless astronomy enthusiasts. Even if you don't buy tickets, you can find many very good observation points nearby.”
"But on the official website of the Dragon Country's aerospace industry, we really didn't find the relevant space mission launch schedule. It's really strange.”
"Why do you care so much? The country definitely won't be stupid enough to publicly carry out a secret mission like this. After all, the South China Sea rocket launch base can be observed by many neighboring countries.”
"You're right. If it's really a secret mission, they definitely wouldn't dare to launch it in such a big way!”
...
At the South China Sea Rocket Launch Base.
Several assault helicopters had already landed secretly.
A group of people dressed in plain clothes alighted from the helicopter.
Ye Yi, Zhao Rulong, and the director were already waiting at the airport.
When they saw the old man coming down from the helicopter, the three of them were shocked.
"Elder Tang!"
"The higher-ups arranged for you to personally give pointers?!”
The old man smiled when he heard this. His kind expression and gentle temperament instantly eased the tense atmosphere.
"Hehe, this is an opportunity that I fought for myself.”
"The launch of the space-based cannon is a major event related to the rise of the country. I also hope to witness it with my own eyes.”
" Most importantly, I still want to see with my own eyes the little guy who has brought us so many surprises in just two months and alerted the central government to issue important orders many times.”
As the old man spoke, he looked at Ye Yi kindly.
His old but clear eyes were full of praise and encouragement.
Ye Yi also felt his scalp tingle at this moment. He quickly saluted and said,
"Elder Tang, you flatter me!"
"To serve the people!"
Facing this old man, Ye Yi did not dare to be careless at all.
This was because this old man was the Deputy Sect Leader of the Dragon Country!
At first, Ye Yi thought that the higher-ups would send people from the Military Committee to record the launch of the space-based cannon. It seemed that he had underestimated the importance of the space-based cannon project.
Elder Tang looked at Ye Yi's serious expression and reached out his hand like a kind senior. He gently patted Ye Yi's shoulder and said,"
"Hehe, little fellow, don't be so reserved.”
"Old General Ye's family is really full of talents. I didn't expect it to be so fast. The youngest grandson is already working on the front line of scientific research for the country.”
"What a glorious family."
The words of praise made Ye Yi feel a little excited and proud.
However, Elder Tang still smiled and said,
"Don't be nervous. Look at your stiff body. It's as if I'm some kind of ferocious beast.”
"What's wrong? You were able to face a world-class technical problem like the space-based cannon with ease. Now, you're afraid of an old man like me?”
"Am I that scary?"
Hearing this, Ye Yi could not help but shake his head with a smile.
"Mr. Tang, don't tease me.”
"I was just too excited to see you.”
"When I was young, I often heard the elders in my family talk about you. They said that you were a great man who dedicated your life to the motherland and asked us brothers to learn from you.”
"It's inevitable that I'll be a little nervous when I see my childhood idol with my own eyes today.”
Elder Tang laughed heartily when he heard Ye Yi's explanation.
"Hahaha, you have a sweet mouth, little guy. You're not like the stubborn General Ye.”
"Come, bring me to see the treasure you made.”
"Today, you and the Space-based Cannon are the main characters!”
Hearing Elder Tang's words, everyone present looked at Ye Yi a few more times.
Ye Yi's identity and status had risen to a very high level in the hearts of these people because he was praised and appreciated by Master Tang.
Ye Yi adjusted his state of mind and smiled."
"Please, Elder Tang."
"The God's Punishment No. 1 Space-based Cannon has been successfully loaded onto the improved Zheng Tu No. 5-C carrier rocket.”
" We are currently conducting pre-ignition inspections and tests. It is estimated that the ignition ceremony will be held in an hour and a half to complete the launch deployment.”
As Ye Yi spoke, he followed Mr. Tang and introduced him to the various facilities related to the space-based cannon.
Mr. Tang listened to Ye Yi's explanation seriously and nodded from time to time to give feedback.
As for the dozens of high-ranking officers, they could only maintain a distance of a few meters behind the two of them. Even Zhao Rulong and the director did not dare to overstep their boundaries and could only mix in with the main group.
The lowest rank among these officers was a colonel.
Other than Zhao Rulong and the director, there were two other military representatives from the army and the air force. They were also lieutenant generals.
When Zhao Rulong and the director saw this, they whispered,
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to give Ye Yi the rank of a navy senior colonel.”
"Looking at today's situation, I reckon that after the successful launch of the space-based cannon, Ye Yi will become a hot potato in the army.”
"Hehe, Ye Yi is now a member of our navy. When the army and air force want to borrow him, they will have to come and negotiate with us!”
"A few years ago, the higher-ups allocated a lot more military expenses to the Air Force than our Navy. This year, we can be tough for once!”
As they spoke, Zhao Rulong and the director had sneaky smiles on their faces. Their eyes would occasionally size up the two lieutenant generals from the ground army and air force.
It was as if he was ready to extort a sum of money from them.
At this moment, the South China Sea Rocket Launch Base had been cleared. Other than the necessary site staff, no one else was seen on the road.
A group of people arrived in front of the rocket launch tower and looked up at Zheng Tu No. 5.
The nearly 60-meter-long rocket was like a sharp sword that was about to pierce through the sky. It stood upright beside the tower that was about to be launched.
Mr. Tang covered the dazzling sun with his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the crystallization of humanity's top-notch wisdom!”
" Perhaps one day, many years later, people will use a big title to describe this moment in history books.”
"But now…"
"Everyone, you and I will be the lucky ones to witness history!”
