Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 872 Interested Mr. Sun

Although Zhou Rui couldn't recognize who the old man in front of him was, he still smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Zhou Rui."

Sun Jiadong's lowered and relaxed eyes turned into a crescent moon: "Hello, I am Sun Jiadong."

"But I can't be called 'you'. Are you from the space agency?"

"That's right, it used to be"

He has a long resume in this life, and the one who has the greatest sense of belonging is still the Seven Machines and Five Institutes back then.
Li Changping took two steps back and saw an old man and a young man chatting awkwardly. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is the chief designer of 'Dongfanghong No. 1'."

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up. He had heard of it, but he couldn't recognize his face.

In addition to the "Father of Two Bombs and One Star", this man also has a super awesome title, that is, "Father of Beidou".

These two honors, which sound like two honors from different eras, actually belong to the same person, and their weight is definitely heavier than Mount Tai.

Zhou Rui had even vaguely heard that Mr. Sun was a disciple-like figure of "Old Qian" and was highly regarded by Mr. Qian.

Zhou Rui: "No problem. Talents from both sides are interconnected. If you need anything, just ask. I can lend Shan Chunyuan to Aerospace when the time comes."

Thinking of this, Zhou Rui couldn't help but look at Mr. Sun, couldn't he be the one who passed it on?

It's interesting to say that among the prominent figures in the space agency that Zhou Rui came into contact with, the surname "Sun" appeared very frequently.

But then the information of several people flashed through my mind. It was really not a family that had nothing to do with each other.

Although "Dongfanghong No. 1" flew into the sky in his hands, as a project that lasted ten years, countless people had devoted their efforts over the years.

Zhou Rui took the old man's hand and shook it. It felt as light as a bone. He subconsciously held the other hand up, hoping to shield these hands from the cold.

Li Changping: "Mr. Zhou, the launch arrangements for the 'Qian Xuesen Platform' have been finalized. The first batch will be in March next year after the Spring Festival."

As the second orbital mechanical platform, the Qian Xuesen platform was jointly built by the National Space Administration and Tai Tiangong, with each paying half of the cost.

Several people sat in the large box inside. Zhou Rui and Gan Yuan were here. There were about six or seven employees in the company, and about ten in the space agency, such as Zhang Xianpeng and Hong Anran who had worked together before, plus Sun who came unexpectedly. Old, it can be said that the seats are full.

After a little humility, Mr. Sun sat at the main seat, with Zhou Rui and Li Changwei on the left and right, just like that. Ah, it's time to eat.

Li Changping, as the host, led everyone inside and said to Zhou Rui: "Director Sun is having a meeting at the National Expo, and he really can't spare time. I will entertain you today. Don't blame Mr. Zhou."

"Actually, it's fine if you don't welcome us. We're all old acquaintances."

An ordinary reception banquet, I don’t know why this person showed up.

Everyone was very familiar with each other, and after a few minutes of politeness, we started to eat as the main thing and chat as a supplement.

Hmm. The word "borrow" is very strong.

Director Sun, Mr. Sun Jiadong and Mr. Sun, including Sun Ze, the chief engineer of Chang'e III, and there seems to be another Sun Heifang, who is also the chief engineer of the rocket part of the lunar exploration project.
To be honest, "Sun" is not a common surname.

"Haha, that won't work. If you come here once, we will take care of you once."

This is an interesting coincidence. It seems that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were a lot of people named "Qian" among the scientists, and they were all big bosses, but they were not related by blood.

Sun Jiadong quickly waved his hand: "As the chief designer, everyone worked together at that time, and the position is not important."

In the original plan, the "Jingtian-1" was still used for launch and the "Wanhu Base" was used for orbital docking command. The space agency was only responsible for launch services and daily management. However, last time the two parties decided to introduce the "mimic command system" Finally, the space agency decided after discussion that it would be the main force on its own.

After all, they need to understand all the techniques themselves.

For example, although rocket recovery technology is shared with Tai Tiangong, Jingtian-1 has already launched three rounds, and the space agency’s own Long March series has still not been launched. As the saying goes, "Tai Tiangong" can be blown up, but the national team cannot be blown up.

In the end, the space agency decided that all the launch rockets of the Qian Xuesen platform would be undertaken by the "Long March series", which would help to fully understand the new technology. By then, the command system would also be dominated by the space agency, and Tai Tiangong would only be responsible for providing the "load".

The launch rocket is the newly released "Long March 3-H", where H stands for "recycling".

Upon hearing the words "Qian Xuesen Platform", Mr. Sun quietly put down his chopsticks and pricked up his ears not wanting to miss any words.

When the two of them were almost done talking, they suddenly said:
"Director Li, can you let me, an old man, take a look at it when it's launched? It doesn't matter whether it's Xichang or Wenchang."

When outsiders were around, he would refer to Li Changping's position to protect the younger generation's face.

But for such a small request, Li Changping was a little hesitant.

The main reason is that at Mr. Sun's age, he really can't travel far away casually.

To put it bluntly, the rocket launch base is not a good place, at least the medical conditions are not good.
If you pull it out and can't pull it back, it's a big deal!
"Well, the bureau is naturally willing to do this, but the actual situation still depends on your old body."

Mr. Sun nodded: "Then I will be prepared and take good care of my body."

While Gan Yuan was peeling shrimps for her boss, she also paid attention to what her boss was talking about and whether she needed to provide supplementary information.

After so many years, Zhou Rui is still not used to peeling shrimps by himself. They are always white and tender and brought to his mouth.
In the corner at the end of the table, Hong Anran, who once confessed his feelings at the "Blind Fried Rice", kept looking between the two of them.

These two people didn't seem like this before.
Hong Anran couldn't help but smile and watch.

Some people look good from a distance. She doesn't have the courage to chase shooting stars for fear of being too dazzling and hurting herself.

After the reception banquet, Zhou Rui and his party took a car to the hotel where they were staying. It was still an internal hotel that was quiet in the busy city.

Looking at the Hongqi car going away, Mr. Sun slowly put on his scarf and said softly: "Xiao Li, how old is Mr. Zhou this year?"

"Mr. Zhou seems to be 26? Is he false or real?"

“26 is so young”

Li Changping also said with emotion: "Yes, next year this person should be an academician of the Academy of Engineering. In close proximity, he will also be the youngest academician of New China. I guess this record will be difficult to break."

Sun Jiadong laughed loudly: "You deserve it! If anyone is dissatisfied, build an orbital platform."

"No one dares to be dissatisfied. The people who most hope that President Zhou will be elected are the other nominees in the same period. I am afraid that if President Zhou loses the election, someone will sneak out to compare the results. There are even rumors that this person will attack the academicians of the Academy of Sciences."

Sun Jiadong walked towards his car and said as he walked: "By the way, the unveiling ceremony is the day after tomorrow. Do you want to have dinner tomorrow? If you want to have dinner with Mr. Zhou, I want to have another good time."

Li Changping still didn't know why Mr. Sun was interested in Mr. Zhou. Moreover, he didn't see the two of them chatting much during the meal just now, but he still said:

"President Zhou won't be able to see us tomorrow. He has to meet with the senior leaders."

"Big leader? Xiao Sun?"

He was talking about Director Sun.

"Uh bigger, you know. It's the end of the year."

Sun Jiadong was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"That's right. Haha, let's talk about it another day."
