After a satisfying meal, Li Zheng and Lin Yujing had no intention of going home, so they simply strolled to the beach, treading under the starlight and chatting leisurely with the sea breeze as their companion.
Even here, one could still see the brightly lit launch tower five kilometers away.
Lin Yujing, a bit tipsy from alcohol, couldn't help herself and began to enthusiastically gesture as she stood on the beach, instructing and explaining, for no one knew rockets better than her.
To the layperson, the launch of Yellow River-2 was no different from any previous rocket launch.
But for Lin Yujing, who had been immersed in the Aerospace Research Institute since she was in her mother's womb, this moment was full of historical significance.
If the launch were successful, Yellow River-2 would become one of the top five most capable rockets in history and the top three in active service, marking an important milestone in the history of China Aerospace's development.
