Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Seeing that everyone had packed their things, the person in charge of the company immediately arranged for the group to set off for Ethiopia.

At that time, Ethiopia was in urgent need of laborers, and sending people there earlier would speed up the construction. When Banggeng heard the news, he was still resting in the dormitory, and he jumped out of bed in excitement.

Because he was afraid that the money he brought with him would be robbed, Banggeng even held his wallet tightly when he slept these days, and he was always on guard against his roommates. Most of those who came to the labor service company with him were people who had no way out in the country, and he had no way to judge whether they were good or bad people.

After learning about the upcoming journey, Banggeng took all his savings and boarded the ship to Africa without hesitation. He thought this trip was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and it was better to bravely open up a new life than to stay in the country with no future.

The companions on the ship were full of excitement and hope. This was the first time that my country organized a large number of people to work abroad. Banggeng was full of longing for this trip and believed that he would have a good life in a foreign country.

Since living conditions in Ethiopia are more basic, the market is open and it is easy to do business, these ideas make Bang Geng look forward to possible opportunities in the future.

While Banggeng was sailing with hope, the injured Yi Zhonghai was locked up in a dilapidated woodshed by Jia Zhang. Old man Yi wanted to rest in bed for a few days, but his family members were in a bad mood and thought he was a burden.

Without Banggeng's financial support and the loss of his property, Yi Zhonghai has become a useless burden. His family doesn't care about him at all and even ignores him.

Xiaodang and Huaihua had no time to take care of him, because they had other important things to do. Considering that the family had run out of money, the two were more determined to work hard, looking forward to the day when Banggeng would come back and take them to enjoy the good times of overseas life.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai suffered from illness and loneliness alone in the woodshed. People around him were busy with their own things and didn't care about his plight. Yi Zhonghai never thought that his old age would be so difficult.

At this time, the courtyard inside and outside showed a false appearance of tranquility, while elsewhere, Su Chen received a special invitation - to visit a rocket base that was about to be launched.

Su Chen was coordinating production and worker deployment at the factory when he suddenly received a notice from the space agency. He was a little surprised. Yang Xue was also there, helping Su Chen with his daily work. After hearing the news about the rocket, she became very interested.

So Su Chen decided to take Yang Xue with him. He believed that with Yang Xue's background, she would be able to easily pass the strict security inspection at the rocket base.

At first, he thought that the implementation of the Beidou Project would take a long time, but he did not expect that the aerospace department had intended to launch a test artificial communication satellite during this period. However, due to Su Chen's Beidou Project as a follow-up driving force, the research and development and production of satellites were greatly accelerated.

The performance of today's artificial communications satellite is not as advanced as later technologies, but it can already support the most basic 2G network communication needs.

After receiving the enthusiastic invitation from the aerospace department, Su Chen couldn't wait to set off and took the transportation provided by the aerospace department to his destination.

Entering the rocket launch base is not an easy task. Even if you are picked up by a special person, you still need to show a specific pass before entering. Therefore, factory vehicles cannot directly enter the base.

This ** vehicle sped along the road to the suburbs of Beijing until it reached a highly confidential military area. From here, it continued to move forward for about three kilometers before reaching the core area of ​​the rocket launch base. There was an open area within a hundred miles around here, which was just right for rocket launch operations.

As soon as Su Chen got off the transport, he felt a sense of novelty, because he had never set foot on a rocket base before. When he saw the standing rocket from afar, his heart couldn't help but be moved.

In the past, he only observed these space activities behind the screen, but he never thought that today he would have the opportunity to personally experience the launch of an artificial communication satellite.

When he and his companions entered the rocket base, they could see through the protective glass windows that the rocket was being carefully inspected and adjusted layer by layer. Upon seeing Su Chen's arrival, the official in charge of the aerospace department immediately came forward to greet him, enthusiastically guided him to the side, and pointed out with a smile: "What we are witnessing today is the launch of the first artificial communication satellite of the Beidou project. Please watch carefully, this moment will be recorded in history forever."

Even for the aerospace sector, this development process is exciting, after all, the change from zero to one is always particularly shocking. However, there is still a long way to go to realize the vision described by Suchen. And even if an artificial communication satellite is launched, its **operational efficiency still depends on the coordination and support of the entire system.

Although the satellite was not put into use immediately at this time, everyone realized that with its launch, China had taken an important step in the field of communications satellites.

Standing on one side, Su Chen followed the technicians' steps, staring intently at the carefully inspected rocket. After confirming that everything was safe, the head of the aerospace department was particularly cautious, with all his eyes focused on the rocket waiting for orders, until the technicians reported that everything was ready, "the rocket can be launched immediately according to the instructions" - this was an important moment in the entire project.

The person in charge took a deep breath, feeling mixed emotions and anticipation. The arrival of this day is the result of the hard work of countless scientific researchers day and night, and it is also a key turning point for the Beidou project to transform from a concept into reality.

The head of the aerospace department seemed to be in a dream, but he could not let himself be moved at this moment. After a brief thought, he made a resolute decision and waved his hand, ordering: "Start the loading procedure."

Under the gaze of everyone present, the artificial communications satellite was slowly carried over from a distance by ground personnel.

The rocket was ready, and the next task was to load this test satellite, which was completely different from any Su Chen had seen before and looked as ugly as a multi-legged deformed spider. Although it did not look amazing, it was of special significance in Su Chen's eyes.

If the satellite launch is successful, Su Chen's strategic plan will be on track. Realizing that he is standing on the threshold of being one of the few countries that can independently launch satellites, Su Chen can hardly hide his excitement.

This is not only a demonstration of technology and national strength, but also a key link in the layout of future communication technology, and a key step to seize opportunities in advance and achieve long-term development. Therefore, even though the satellite's appearance was not good, when it was loaded into the cabin, Su Chen still watched it with the tenderness of a lover, and everyone held their breath to witness the arrival of this important moment, and the cabin door slowly closed.

Everyone present was waiting for the result with anticipation and trepidation. Even though the data showed that the launch success rate was quite high, the uncertainty before the actual launch still made people worried. The aerospace leader was full of worries. He stared at the rocket intently, waiting for the final readiness report from the front staff. After taking a deep breath, he issued instructions.

“Begin the countdown!”

Following the instructions, the team responsible for the launch entered the final operating procedures, and the safety personnel quickly retreated because the enormous heat generated when the rocket was ignited was not something that flesh and blood could withstand.

With a series of preparation confirmations: "Fuel refueling completed!", "System on standby.", "Evacuation mission completed.", the countdown began.

"Five, four, three, two, one... fire!"

As the countdown came to an end, the red rocket soared into the sky like a dragon, emitting a strong white light, forcing everyone present to rely on goggles to prevent eye damage. The scene in people's eyes was like witnessing the birth of a new sun, and the shining light left a burning trail in the sky.

As the rocket rose steadily and gradually became a small bright spot in the field of vision, everyone's mood began to change from holding their breath to gradually relaxing. But it will take some time for them to really relax - the rocket still needs to enter the predetermined orbit and complete the expected actions before the launch can be declared a success. The launch team members are still working nervously and orderly to ensure that every step is foolproof.

Witnessed by everyone, this spacecraft carrying infinite hope and possibilities drew a beautiful trajectory in the night sky, as if it had turned into the brightest star in the distant sky.

The members of the launch team were like clocks with a tightly wound spring. Everyone was busy with superb efficiency, constantly adjusting the various controllers on the rocket to ensure that it flew smoothly according to the predetermined orbit.

".2 entered the established orbit."

“Begin to decompose.”

"Decomposition completed."

"Start the communication test."

"Communication test completed."

"The communications satellite has entered normal operating mode."

"We did it! We succeeded!"

Every face at the scene had a bright smile and everyone was cheering.

No one had expected that the first test launch would be successful.

This satellite is the country's first domestically-produced communications satellite. It not only successfully flew into space, but was also able to interact with systems on the ground.

Previously, everyone was worried that the complexity of the space environment might lead to various accidents, such as collisions with micrometeorites or space debris, or problems with the satellite's own structure in space.

The challenges made them not have high hopes for the first test. However, with all the efforts, the satellite was successfully launched without any expected accidents.

For a moment, the entire launch center was filled with cheers and people's emotions reached a boiling point.

Everyone realized that the country had taken a crucial step forward in its space program.

The engineers’ hard work paid off – the artificial satellite, which took months or even a year to develop and manufacture, was successfully launched into space.

The head of the aerospace department clenched his fists in excitement, and through his sunglasses one could see tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

He spent countless sleepless nights waiting for this moment. When he saw the result of his years of hard work, the pride and emotion in his heart were beyond words.
