Chapter 273 Shocking the Nation (Part 1)
The news first came from the homepage of China Aerospace's official website.
Generally, few people visit this website.
So when this news was first released, no one paid any attention to it.
However, some bloggers who run self-media in the field of aerospace often go to the official aerospace websites of various countries to obtain materials.
A space blogger on Douyin quickly produced a shocking and unprecedented piece of news.
The news title is: "Capturing Mars from Beyond the Nine Heavens".
The subtitle is: A documentary on the Mars exploration mission.
At the top of the news are the names of the most authoritative media reporters in the country.
They are also the three journalists with the most say in the aerospace field.
Then, get to the main topic of the news.
"The Mars exploration is over! We are back with great discoveries! It's like a space blockbuster that we have been following for more than 20 days. People are looking forward to it day and night."
"In the early morning of November 17, Daojun brought the results of its exploration of Mars back to Earth. It was like a meteor streaking across the sky over a vast grassland, stirring up a cloud of smoke and rushing back to Earth in a 100-meter sprint. It embraced Mars in the sky. At this moment, China's aerospace industry created world history!"
"This is the first sample return mission from Mars in millions of years since the birth of mankind, marking a major step forward for global space exploration. It is China Aerospace that is leading this key step. As my country's most complex and technologically advanced aerospace system project, Daojun has achieved the first sample return from Mars, which will make the greatest contribution ever to deepening mankind's scientific understanding of the origin of Mars and the evolution of the solar system!"
Downplayed in the news.
But it records a series of shocking "great achievements".
As soon as this short video was released on Douyin, it became popular.
In an instant, it attracted a large number of space enthusiasts to explore and watch.
Among them are Fang Yi’s old classmate Chu Qing, some relatives and friends whose specific circumstances are still unknown, and some people who have had contact with Fang Yi before, such as Chen Jin, Zhu Licheng, Boss Wei, and so on.
The most important thing is that many space enthusiasts from various countries who had previously mocked China's space failure and dared not disclose the information to the outside world also received the news as soon as possible.
There were even some netizens who knew nothing about aerospace but just liked to follow the trend but they all came.
Millions of people are watching!
Everyone was very curious.
Space researchers from other countries, including those who have not come to the South China Sea launch center, are also watching.
Indeed, apart from the Chinese, other aerospace industries in other countries do not want China's aerospace industry to be the first to obtain more information about Mars exploration.
Because this will threaten the international status of many countries.
However, the results of scientific research and exploration are information that every aerospace researcher and enthusiast is eager to know, so naturally they all rushed here as soon as possible to see what important information China Aerospace has discovered from Mars.
Well, if the results are not very fruitful, you might be attacked.
Attracting everyone's attention!
It is also questioned by everyone.
"Did you really take samples back to Earth?"
"Hasn't there been any activity from China Aerospace? I heard it failed."
"Yeah, why are you here to share your exploration results?"
"It's a rumor."
"Let's see what we have discovered first. I think it might be a scam!"
“Looking forward to it!”
"China's space industry is rising! I am extremely proud of our country's space industry!"
"Haha, the Americans haven't even brought back samples from Mars. How can China's aerospace technology be capable of that?"
"China Aerospace is a joke."
It is clearly China Aerospace that is releasing shocking results.
However, there are still some netizens who worship foreign things and make negative comments there.
Unfortunately, this time China's aerospace industry is destined to make those who worship foreign things feel despair!
…
Thailand.
Aerospace headquarters.
Before this, they had not gone to China to observe like the aerospace powers in Europe, America, Asia and other regions, so they did not know what specific exploration results China's aerospace industry had achieved. Now that some people heard that China's aerospace industry had announced it, many people gathered together to watch.
"Look."
"What results have been achieved?"
"I don't think there will be any results. Normally, more than 20 days is not enough for a spacecraft to land on Mars. Although the Ugly Country and the European Space Agency have issued congratulatory messages before, I always feel that they are just congratulating China on the successful launch of its spacecraft. Even if there are any results now, it is just taking some pictures of Mars, just like the Ugly Country."
"Yes, let alone more than 20 days, even two months would not be enough! It usually takes six to nine months for a spacecraft to reach Mars. The fact that a Chinese spacecraft can reach Mars in more than 20 days is already a historic breakthrough. I am more concerned about China's aerospace technology now, not about what information has been discovered on Mars."
Several people expressed their opinions.
As soon as the words were spoken, the short video began to introduce what China Aerospace had explored on Mars.
First of all, it was the Martian soil. China Aerospace announced that it had indeed brought back hundreds of kilograms!
When we first hear about Martian soil, we think it’s nothing, after all, it’s just alien soil.
But in fact, anyone who works in the aerospace industry can understand what it means to bring back soil from Mars.
Although the space agencies of various countries have previously said that they cannot bring back Martian soil because they are afraid that it may contain unknown microorganisms that may affect the safety of Earth's animals and plants, this is actually not the case at all.
The real answer is that the current level of human technology does not support the realization of this goal.
The sampling process on Mars is generally similar to that on the moon. The first step is to leave a satellite in the Martian orbit, and the rest of the process lands on the Martian surface to collect samples. Finally, the samples are launched into the lunar orbit through a small rocket. After that, the samples are captured and returned to Earth.
However, this process is extremely difficult. Unlike taking samples from the moon, the mass of Mars is greater than that of the moon, so it is more difficult to take off from the surface of Mars. At the same time, the moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, while Mars is 55 million kilometers away from the earth at its closest point. Therefore, more fuel is consumed in the return flight, which means that more fuel must be carried when taking off from the earth, which places high demands on the carrying capacity of the launch vehicle.
There have been predictions in the aerospace field before that China will be able to bring back some soil from Mars as early as 2026, while China will have to wait until 2030.
However, this time, China Aerospace not only brought back soil from Mars, but also brought back hundreds of kilograms, and also took pictures and videos!
See here.
It's quiet.
The office area of the Thailand Aerospace Headquarters suddenly became quiet!
A woman said: "This..."
A young man stared blankly at the computer screen and asked, "Who just said that it would be great if China Aerospace could land a spacecraft on Mars in the next twenty days?"
The young woman who had spoken before was speechless.
A middle-aged man was surprised and said, "Is this China's aerospace technology? In just 20 days, they not only went back and forth from Mars, but also brought back hundreds of kilograms of soil samples! Oh my God! How could this be completed in just 20 days? Did China's aerospace industry really have divine help? In just 20 days, they completed a task that China's aerospace industry could not accomplish even with decades of accumulated technology? It's simply unbelievable!"
The young woman spoke after holding it in for a long time. "It was reported that a true god was born in China. I heard that this true god will visit Thailand soon. Do you think that China Aerospace has invited this true god to explore Mars?"
Perhaps the common people at the bottom of society do not know yet that a true god has appeared in China, but those of them who are engaged in aerospace have more or less received some news and know that a true god has appeared in China, so they do not believe that China’s current aerospace technology can make a round trip from Mars in more than 20 days, and they do not believe that hundreds of kilograms of soil can be brought back from Mars in such a short time.
Because even the Ugly Country can’t do it!
This is simply impossible!
Now that China Aerospace has done it, there is only one possibility, maybe the true God really came forward to help China Aerospace!
…
Domestic Hongqiao Railway Station.
There were many passengers waiting for their trains in the hall.
"Oh my god! Is our country's aerospace technology so advanced?"
“Not only did they bring back hundreds of kilograms of soil from Mars, but they also brought back samples of the atmosphere, water, minerals, etc.”
"China Aerospace is awesome!"
"It's incredible! Our country has accomplished something that even the U.S. aerospace industry can't do!"
"Look at the news introduction!"
“It’s so shocking!”
"Fuck, they found traces of life on Mars?"
"Hey, didn't China Aerospace say that the manned landing on Mars plan failed? Although we haven't seen any photos of the astronauts yet, these samples have been brought back, and it doesn't look like a failure at all."
"Yes, this news report is not over yet, keep reading."
Indeed, this news is too long.
So far, only one-third of it has been seen.
Then, everyone saw the scene that they had been concerned about and was shocked.
China's "astronaut" appears!
…
Magic City.
A certain restaurant, a certain private room.
There is a class reunion here today, and everyone in it is Fang Yi’s former college classmates, such as Chu Qing, who he met at An Qing before. She also brought Li Sisi, who came to see her yesterday.
There are also three good friends who used to live in the same dormitory with Fang Yi, Fan Qingyue, Yao Junfei and Qin Lei.
Not all of them were there, maybe a dozen or so people.
Everyone was chatting animatedly when Chu Qing suddenly looked down at the screen of her mobile phone and exclaimed "Huh".
Fan Qingyue, who was standing next to him, was a little envious of Li Sisi's appearance, and he kept trying his best to talk to Chu Qing so that she could introduce Li Sisi to him. "Chu Qing, do you still remember Fang Yi, the person you had a crush on?"
Chu Qing blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't have a crush on him. It was another girl in my dormitory who had a crush on him, okay? That's why I asked you to help me get some information about him."
Another girl blinked and said, "There are four people in the dormitory. Xiaoqing, who do you think has a crush on Fang Yi?"
Chu Qing was speechless for a moment.
Fan Qingyue hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Haha, I remembered it wrong. Hey, I don't know what Lao Fang is doing now. I haven't seen him for a long time. I sent him a message at the class reunion but he didn't respond."
Li Sisi interrupted, "Mr. Fang is quite remarkable. Sisi and I have met him once. Anyway, he has a very high status now."
"I'll go."
“Is this true or false?”
Yao Junfei was a little surprised and asked, "Is Lao Fang doing so well?"
Another girl with ponytails rolled her eyes and said, "No matter how well he does, how long has he been out of college? I don't believe he can still have such a high status and position."
Qin Lei said with a smile: "Yes, we know Lao Fang's family, they are very ordinary. Now it is a relationship society. No matter how capable he is, at most he can be a small leader in a certain company. It is impossible for him to have a high status. I think if we hang around for another two years, we should be able to catch up with him right away."
Another young man laughed and said, "I think so too."
The short-haired young man next to the door said, "We all graduated from the same university. As long as we don't have a particularly strong family background, how much worse is one person than the other? It's nothing more than a matter of opportunity. Some people climbed up faster in the early stages. Although we started a little later, we will definitely catch up. Maybe if I were put in his current working environment, I could do better than him!"
"Haha, I don't know what Lao Fang is doing."
When Yao Junfei said this, his eyes were filled with memories, as if he had returned to the time when he and Fang Yi were playing together in college.
At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly screamed, "Oh my God!"
"What's wrong?"
"What's so surprising?"
Everyone asked in confusion.
Chu Qing took a breath and pointed at the phone screen, "You...you guys come and see!"
Seeing Chu Qing's surprised expression, everyone came over in confusion.
It’s better not to watch this.
At first glance, everyone was a little dumbfounded!
Because the video was playing the most popular news report today, a series of news reports on the results of Mars exploration announced by China Aerospace, and in this video, there was an astronaut standing on the spot.
The most important thing is, he looks like Fang Yi from the side!
Seeing this, Fan Qingyue, who was drinking water from the cup, almost spit out the water.
puff!
This person really looks like Fang Yi, the old classmate that everyone misses so much!
Just when everyone was about to make a few jokes, and even when Fan Qingyue was about to take out his phone to send a message to Fang Yi, the astronaut looked directly at the camera.
Then, those who were familiar with Fang Yi, as well as everyone in the world who knew Fang Yi and saw the news were all shocked!
Because the astronaut in the video is Fang Yi!
Chu Qing was stunned!
Li Sisi was confused!
Fan Qingyue, who was holding the cup, was also dumbfounded!
And the girl who had previously said that Fang Yi’s status and position could be so high that it could reach the sky was also staring at the phone screen in astonishment, appearing extremely shocked!
"My fark?"
“Oh my god!”
"this……"
Every one of them was stunned!
You really are so crazy!
You didn’t just go to space, you also landed on Mars?
Not everyone can be an astronaut, especially the first astronaut to land on Mars. That person will go down in history. For example, Armstrong, the first person to land on the moon, is recognized by international space historians as a pioneer of human space exploration.
And now, Fang Yi has become the first person to land on Mars?
One of the girls was heard saying in a hushed voice: "Fang Yi is too amazing, isn't he? Did he really go to heaven?"
sharp?
Is it just awesome?
Chu Qing, Qin Lei and others who were left in the box remained silent. Although they were not working in the aerospace industry and did not know how much cost and hard work it took to become an astronaut, they knew what it meant to be the first astronaut in Earth's history to land on Mars. He represented the world's first person in aerospace!
And the world's first astronaut is their old classmate Fang Yi!
Anyone can know that even without the blessing of other identities, as long as Fang Yi successfully returns to Earth from Mars, his status and position will not be comparable to those of their former classmates. Not to mention comparison, they can't even approach him and will never be able to catch up with him in their entire lives!
Although Chu Qing and Li Sisi knew more, they still looked at each other strangely. They knew Fang Yi was so awesome that even people who couldn't curry favor with a billionaire had to treat him with respect, but they really didn't expect Fang Yi to be so awesome that he could land on Mars!
Yao Junfei was completely stunned, and said in a daze: "Old...Old Fang has landed on Mars. Do we have a chance to catch up with his social status in this lifetime?"
The girl who spoke earlier smiled bitterly and said, "Impossible."
Qin Lei took a breath and said, "It's absolutely impossible!"
The girl with the ponytail was dumbfounded and said, "He...he has become the world's number one in space exploration. Who can catch up with him?"
"Damn it!" Fan Qingyue uttered, "Is this Old Fang still a human being?"
Before, they had been laughing and saying that they all graduated from the same university, and even if there was a small gap, as long as their family backgrounds were not too different, they would definitely catch up in the end.
Now what?
Fang Yi has even landed on Mars!
Fang Yi is really amazing!
This kind of thing cannot be achieved just by relying on family background!
I'm afraid there is no hope of catching up with Fang Yi in this lifetime!
Class reunions are supposed to be a happy occasion. Of course, some people go for the purpose of showing off, such as how good a job they have found or how high their monthly salary is. Indeed, some people want to wait until they have dinner and a few drinks to start showing off.
However, when seeing Fang Yi become the first person in China's aerospace industry, those old classmates who had been thinking about showing off before coming here completely lost this idea.
Show off? No matter how much you pretend, can you beat Fang Yi who was not present?
This was the first time that Fang Yi truly came into the sight of the people of the country and even the world. Although his status and position were much more impressive than these old classmates knew, the revelation of this tip of the iceberg still shocked and horrified all the old classmates and people who were familiar with Fang Yi. From this moment on, everyone knew that they, ordinary people among the countless people, would never be able to reach Fang Yi's level in their lifetime.
What a great Fang Yi!
It turns out that I have made such a huge contribution to the motherland without realizing it!
It turns out that without him realizing it, his status and position has become so high that ordinary people can't even imagine it!
Several college classmates who had just thought that Fang Yi would not be able to rise too high in social status within a few years of graduation, realized for the first time that the gap between people is not only related to family background, but also has a great relationship with their own abilities. For example, even if Fang Yi never does anything else in his life, he is enough to be recorded in the aerospace history of countries around the world!
Alas, comparing yourself to others will only make you feel thief!
Why is Fang Yi so awesome?
Many old classmates present here really can’t understand it!
