Space Travel: Cradle
Within two days, people began to come in and out of the Aerospace Research Institute.
As the former deputy chief designer, Researcher Chang naturally became the dean.
Today, plaques and couplets will be hung at the entrance of the institute, and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the official launch of the research.
Based on the history of spacecraft development, Researcher Chang has set goals for his current research: "multi-rocket" and "liquid-fuel rocket". The former improves the continuous flight capability of spacecraft, while the latter solves the problem of fuel overload that makes it impossible to fly safely.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” She opened her confused eyes and tried to pretend that she could understand.
She just came to cut the ribbon, why should she be forced to listen to nonsense?
Many onlookers around burst into cheers when they saw the words "Eh Eh E Space Research Center" hanging on the lintel.
After Ming'er held up the screen to take a picture of the scene, he enthusiastically walked towards the two people under the door lintel.
Ye Miaomiao finally had an excuse to temporarily escape from the situation where she didn't understand but had to agree awkwardly.
"The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but humanity cannot be confined to the cradle forever." Ming'er took a photo of the couplet and sighed. "Is this Researcher Chang's inscription?"
"Yes and no," Researcher Chang said with a smile. "That's a quote from Tsiolkovsky, the father of space exploration. The second half of the quote is, 'They will first cautiously penetrate the atmosphere, and then conquer the entire solar system.' It perfectly reflects our pursuit."
"Humanity has always sought to soar freely like a bird, but the true meaning of freedom, or perhaps the meaning of life, will only be revealed at the end of the universe."
"Well said!" Ye Miaomiao clapped her hands vigorously. She finally understood what he said.
Ming'er's eyes sparkled as he wrote down the sentence word for word.
A moment later, just when Ye Miaomiao thought she was about to listen to the heavenly book again, Ming'er spoke up, "Lord Ye, can I go to the research institute to shoot some videos? I can follow and interview the researchers when they're free?"
"Of course," Ye Miaomiao was racking her brains to change the subject when Ming'er handed her a pillow. "But... didn't I hear you were planning a movie?"
In reality, this was a piece of gossip. Seeing that Ming'er hadn't joined the Hungry Hungry Squad, Ye Miaomiao specifically asked her sister about it. She learned that Ming'er had dreamed of making a movie since she was a child and had already gathered a lot of footage for a major production. Only then did she give up the idea of inviting her.
After all, team members can be trained, but dreams cannot be trained.
"You mean the tongue doomsday that's being talked about in the territory? That was a documentary co-produced with Yu Xin. I contributed very little, but I don't know why I was put on the director's list." Ming'er covered his mouth with his hands and laughed embarrassedly.
"I wanted to shoot a different kind of subject. I hadn't decided on a theme yet. But after hearing what Researcher Chang said today, I suddenly knew what I wanted to shoot."
Ming Er became serious. "Lord Ye, many people now have misunderstandings about space travel. The dream of flying should be made known to more people. This is a future worth believing in."
When Ye Miaomiao heard this, it automatically turned into shooting a promotional video for E E E.
She touched her chin. Although she had never seen the movie directed by Ming Er, getting something for free sounded good.
"Of course you can, but try not to disturb the researchers' lives and work, or disclose their private lives. As for other things..." Ye Miaomiao thought for a moment, patted Ming'er on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Pay attention to the image of the territory, otherwise you won't be able to recruit new employees."
Ming Er seemed to have realized something, nodded thoughtfully, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Lord, I know."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of the drought hell.
The post "Next goal - to go to space!" on Taoduoduo has rarely been seen, and the initial exciting dream of space travel seems to have been forgotten.
Until a movie trailer called "Space Voyage: Cradle" came out.
Perhaps because they have forgotten about the space program, many people, when they clicked on the trailer, thought it was some science fiction film.
The trailer begins with a cold female voice, "The Earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind cannot be confined to the cradle forever." As the words fade, the blue sky appears before people.
The trailer consists of several exciting scenes. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the research institute, a woman in a blue work uniform looks up at the sky and utters the resolute phrase, "Conquer the entire solar system."
There are also researchers who live in the research institute every day, exhausted, and face no progress in their results and misunderstanding from their families, but they still choose to continue with their faith.
As dusk faded and dawn returned, the sky, initially bright and clear, gradually turned dim and yellow. Beneath the fading sunlight lay the researchers who had been conducting their experiments from beginning to end.
Can the next goal - going to heaven - really be achieved?
Everyone who saw the trailer couldn't help but feel nervous.
Then came the most exciting scene: in the desert, a ball of fire rose, and an extremely simple spacecraft rushed towards the edge of the sky in an unimaginable posture.
It actually flew! Everyone in front of the screen held their breath.
This is followed by a short five-second shot of the planet viewed from space.
The azure planet occupied most of the screen. Within the skyline, the shape of the East Asian coastline could be vaguely discerned. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sparkling sea, and human beings lived in a cradle like infants.
Beyond the horizon, there is only the faint light of the sun. The dark, deep, and boundless universe is terrifying, yet full of yearning.
No one knows what is out there, but people know that to survive in this vast universe, they must break free from the constraints of the cradle and explore the secrets of the universe.
[“Space Voyage: Cradle” will be officially released at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. 2 points will unlock the right to watch the full film.
All proceeds from this video will be donated to the Hungry Hungry Space Research Center. Thank you for your support! 】
"You're crazy..."
I don’t know who left the first comment, but countless comments followed.
The news spread as quickly as a dandelion. Within half an hour of the trailer being released, almost all the surviving victims had seen this short two-and-a-half-minute video.
They dragged the progress bar repeatedly, watching the last five seconds of the fleeting moment of flying out of the planet.
Under the scorching sun, at the dinner table, holding tools, or chatting about other things, they stopped everything and watched again and again, lost in a kind of historical turning point.
What does this mean? they wondered.
Is it just a simple matter of flying? Is it just a dream that has existed since ancient times?
The film seems to hint at something deeper, a meaning so captivating that one cannot help but ponder it.
Ye Miaomiao was discussing new developments at the Aerospace Research Institute, while Ming'er was filming.
Ye Miaomiao watched the trailer as soon as it was released. When the last five seconds of dreamy scenery ended and the screen clicked black, she rubbed her forehead helplessly: "It flew up for a few seconds and then crashed. It's still far from a real flight. Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
Researcher Chang offered a different perspective: "With a few more comprehensive tests, we'll be able to reach the level of manned spaceflight. With the experience of our predecessors, our research progress will be quite rapid. Lord, you should have some confidence in your research institute. It's time to train astronauts."
Ming Er agreed, "Yes! Yes! Every step forward we take must be shared with everyone. This represents progress for civilization as a whole. Who knows how many people this five-second video will bring hope and motivation to. "
Researcher Chang smiled and nodded.
Before the apocalypse, wars raged, and space exploration stagnated. No one considered the future, living in a life of debauchery and despair, praying daily to heaven for a safe and secure place to eat.
Now, she is full of confidence when it comes to sailing.
"We are entering a new era," said researcher Chang, gazing at the sky through the window. "A new era no one has ever imagined, a new era full of hope."
Ye Miaomiao touched his nose: "..."Isn't it just the interstellar age?
Not only had she thought about it, she had also achieved the ending of N interstellar eras.
But now it was a bit disappointing. Ye Miaomiao asked Researcher Chang to study "manned space flight" while he walked towards the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.
I heard that the first batch of hydroponic seedlings have grown successfully. If all goes well, farming will no longer be limited to the soil!
Although she is about to enter the interstellar space, she still prefers farming, Ye Miaomiao thought happily.
On the other side of Hungry Hungry's planet, a group of scientists watched the last few seconds of the video in amazement.
The speed of China's aerospace development is much faster than they imagined.
"There was noticeable shaking in the last second. It's probably due to structural instability that caused the crash," one of them judged.
Someone nearby nodded. "But being able to reach this altitude already has the potential to develop into manned space flight. It just lacks some cutting-edge ideas, which has never been the specialty of East Asian designers."
“It’s a shame we can’t participate.”
These scientists were on the other side of the planet, separated from the hungry hungry by the Pacific Ocean. No matter how good they were at swimming, the long journey was beyond their ability to endure.
Therefore, when most aerospace researchers responded to the call, they could only provide moral support from across the ocean.
A group of former aerospace industry giants gathered together and watched the trailer over and over again.
When I got tired of watching, I looked at the various comments under the trailer and replied to them one by one. I answered those who had questions, praised those who admired, and rolled up my sleeves to refute those who were nitpicking. Sometimes I was so happy that I danced with joy, and sometimes I was so angry that I beat my feet and stamped my chest.
"Are we stupid? What's the point of doing this? Why not just join the research..." Someone murmured, and everyone looked at him.
He was so disappointed: "We have the technology to build rockets, can't we build airplanes? Have you forgotten? There's a ready-made airplane designer next door!"
Yes! Technology has long since developed into aviation. Everyone looked at each other and ran out the door.
A designer didn't know that he would be forced to draw drawings for a whole day and night, and missed a big news.
The next morning, when a designer was working hard, countless people were waiting in front of the screen.
A movie ticket worth 2 points is almost equivalent to nothing. They look forward to the arrival of eight o'clock, eager to see the fascinating universe again.
