The three of them looked at each other.
Hong Fan couldn't hold his temper and asked first.
"Professor Lu! Excuse me, is Xiaguo's space station project really going to be cancelled?"
Lu Yongchang was slightly stunned.
Xiaguo space station project cancelled?
He looked at Hong Qiming beside him with a puzzled look: "Director Hong, the space station project..."
Hong Qiming smiled bitterly: "Professor Lu, you are the director of the Xia National Space Administration. Don't tell me you don't know about this big thing?"
Lu Yongchang: "…"
"Ahem…"
Seeing the guilty expression on Lu Yongchang's face, the helplessness in Hong Qiming's eyes became more intense.
He sighed deeply, then explained, "A few days ago, the chairman of the parliament personally ordered the suspension of the Xia country space station project that was halfway through."
"Why?!" Hong Fan's indignant voice came from the side, "Is the Councillor ready to give up exploring space?"
"Hong Fan!" Bai Yixuan shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, just listen to Minister Hong!"
Hong Fan lowered his head in disappointment.
Hong Qiming smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."
"The Xia Country space station project was suddenly cancelled. I can understand your feelings."
"As for the reason why the space station was cancelled... you should ask Professor Lu."
"He should know the reason best."
As he spoke, Hong Qiming glanced meaningfully at Lu Yongchang beside him.
The next moment, three pairs of eyes focused on Lu Yongchang's face.
Lu Yongchang: "…"
He glanced at Hong Qiming beside him with a resentful look on his face.
Well, although he didn't know the exact reason, he could roughly guess it.
Facing the three astronauts' confused and slightly angry eyes, Lu Yongchang subconsciously reached out and touched the tip of his nose, and said with embarrassment.
"Simply put, the original Xiaguo Space Station has lost its value of existence."
"What..." Bai Yixiuan's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed in a low voice.
That's a space station!
There are only a handful of countries on the entire earth that have independent space stations!
Its scientific research value is unimaginable!
"That's right." Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and said vaguely, "In order to deal with future crises, Xiaguo needs to focus its energy on more valuable things!"
Because of the confidentiality agreement, some information cannot be clearly told to the three people in front of me.
Especially the information about solar anomalies!
Only when the three astronauts confirm to join the space shuttle project can he tell them the specific details.
When Xia Wanyi, who was standing by, heard Lu Yongchang's words, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
It's the same rhetoric again.
As vague as ever.
She sighed deeply and asked softly, "Since Professor Lu believes that the space station has lost its value, why did he come to us three today?"
"Since Xiaguo believes that space has no value for exploration, what do we astronauts need to do?"
"Why don't we go home and rest."
At this moment, even Bai Yixiuan did not speak out to stop Xia Wanyi from speaking.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense, Lu Yongchang raised his lips slightly, chuckled and said, "Who told you that space has no value in exploration?"
"Just because a space station project was cancelled, you guys want to retire?"
Bai Yixiuan's heart beat violently.
He opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.
A hoarse voice sounded at the side: "Professor Lu, what you mean is..."
"What I mean?" Lu Yongchang's smile widened. "I have a better project here. I wonder if the three of you are interested in participating?"
"Can we go to space?" Xia Wanyi's voice was trembling.
"certainly!"
"Not only space, you can also become the first astronauts of Xia Country to land on the moon!"
Lu Yongchang's light words were like thunder from a clear sky, directly shocking the three young astronauts!
Going into space... Landing on the moon...
These eight words kept echoing in Xia Wanyi's ears, and gradually, the world in front of her eyes became blurred.
Tears of excitement filled her eyes.
"How about it? Are you interested in participating?"
"Of course... I'm willing!" Bai Yixiuan and Hong Fan's voices sounded at the side.
"What about you? Xia Wanyi?"
Lu Yongchang's voice came.
Because she was too excited, she couldn't utter a word for a moment and could only nod desperately.
Seeing this, Bai Yixuan smiled and patted Xia Wanyi on the shoulder: "Well, the facts prove that our persistence in training is still rewarding!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, a hint of emotion appeared in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
Ever since the first ape looked up at the starry sky, the desire for the endless universe has been deeply engraved in human genes!
When the three people's emotions gradually calmed down, Lu Yongchang's face became slightly serious: "I'll tell you in advance that you will be participating in Xia Country's first aerospace plane project."
"Although you have a lot of space flight experience, as a space plane pilot, this is far from enough."
"Therefore, you need to go to the Air Force Pilot Training Base for a month of special training!"
"This training will be very tiring and hard."
"you..."
"Professor Lu, don't worry, we will complete the training task!" Bai Yixiuan interrupted Lu Yongchang directly.
Lu Yongchang was slightly stunned, then he smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
"I'll be waiting for you at the National Space Research Institute!"
"I hope you won't let me down!"
…
United States.
CIA building.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the bright corridor.
A man in uniform, holding a document tightly in his hand, walked quickly towards the office at the end of the corridor!
The moment he reached the office door, he stopped abruptly.
Then he took a deep breath and calmed his somewhat heavy breathing.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
He raised his hand and knocked gently on the office door.
"Come in."
A deep male voice came from inside the door.
He took another deep breath, then reached out and pushed open the office door.
"What's up?"
Inside the office, a white man with a hooked nose and a mean face looked at him gloomily.
He swallowed slightly and handed the document in his hand to the man behind the desk: "Director William, the spies from Xia Country have sent us the latest intelligence!"
William Blair was slightly startled, then suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Quick, bring the documents over!"
Hearing the order, the man hurriedly handed the document to him.
William Blair quickly unfolded the document and looked through it carefully.
Gradually, his face turned pale.
