Chapter 396 It turns out this is a satellite
396
"What's going on? Why is there a noise here? Who moved it?" Kong Xiangwei, a Chinese national in a white coat, spoke fluent Mandarin, frowning and asking seriously. His voice was exceptionally clear in the noisy laboratory, and carried an unquestionable professionalism.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Russians around him exploded like a lit powder keg.
A burly, fleshy-faced Russian researcher snorted coldly and shouted at Kong Xiangwei with disdain, "Humph, who else could it be? It must be you, Kong! You Chinese are born with a love for tinkering with these crooked methods. Maybe you're deliberately trying to sabotage our research!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and pointed his finger at Kong Xiangwei's nose, with an arrogant attitude as if he wanted to eat Kong Xiangwei alive.
In fact, he was the closest to the machine just now. If the responsibility was to be investigated, it would definitely be assigned to him, and he had to quickly pass the buck.
Another tall and thin Russian man also joined in the commotion, his arms folded across his chest with a mocking smile on his face: "That's right, Kong, you're usually not on the same page with us, who knows what bad things you might be up to.
This time, you must have taken advantage of everyone's inattention and pressed the wrong button. Now, the equipment has malfunctioned. Let's see how this ends!"
The Russians around him nodded in agreement. For a moment, accusations came one after another, like sharp blades stabbing at the isolated and helpless Kong Xiangwei.
Kong Xiangwei's face turned ashen in an instant. He clenched his fists, his joints turning white from the force, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.
He retorted loudly, "Don't slander me! I've always been diligent in my work, paying close attention to every aspect of my research. How could I possibly do something like this? This is an unfounded slander!"
But his excuses fell on deaf ears among the arrogant Russians, and no one was willing to listen to his explanation.
At this time, a senior Russian scientist who usually made things difficult for Kong Xiangwei came over. He raised his head, his nose pointed upwards, and said in a condescending tone:
"Kong, you've been acting suspiciously since you came here. Now that the equipment has broken down, you're trying to shirk responsibility. I think you don't want to stay here anymore!"
His words were like a bombshell, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
Kong Xiangwei's eyes welled up with tears, and he felt incredibly wronged and angry. He had devoted countless hours to this research project, but because of his nationality, he had never received the respect and recognition he deserved. Now, he was being unjustly accused.
He looked at the cold and hostile faces around him, his heart filled with despair. This was where he had been working diligently.
He was sent by China to study in Russia, but after completing his studies he was detained in Russia and was not allowed to return to China. He resisted many times, and finally Russia agreed to let him return as long as the satellite launch was successful.
Although his family is still controlled by the Russians, he still devotes himself to research in order to complete the project as soon as possible and then return home with his wife and children.
For so many years, he has been enduring the difficulties of these old Russians, but this time, what does the sound of the machine have to do with him? He was the farthest away just now.
He nodded angrily at the Russians, then left without saying a word.
A triumphant whistle sounded behind Kong Xiangwei, and several Russian scientists were chattering happily, as if mocking Kong Xiangwei's ignorance.
Tang Yue, hiding nearby, saw it all. She didn't hear their conversation clearly, but she did catch one word: "Kong?" This should be a Chinese surname. That meant the person with the oriental face was Chinese.
Tang Yue's eyes were deep. Did this person stay in Russia voluntarily or for some other reason?
But this was not her primary concern. She had more important things to do, which was to figure out what exactly this place was. She felt like the answer was right next to her ears, but she couldn't remember it.
In fact, this really cannot be blamed on Tang Yue. After all, she did not travel through time from the modern era. She has never been exposed to new things, so her speed of acceptance is already very fast.
After what just happened, Tang Yue knew that she couldn't touch these things casually. Tang Yue now regarded everything here as her own property. If she broke it, wouldn't that be a waste?
She began to move through the crowd, hoping to find some textual material that she could recognize. Everyone in the lab had thick files with densely written Maozi language on them.
Mao Ziyu had only just met a few of them, and it was too difficult for her to get to know them now. Finally, when Tang Yue had walked around most of the laboratory, she saw some information full of beautiful articles.
Beautiful writing is better after all. Although it's not as good as Japanese, it's still much better than looking at Maozi language as if it were blind. After a lot of effort and her own strong reasoning ability, Tang Yue finally figured out what this laboratory in front of her was for.
Tang Yue's mind was buzzing. Satellites! This was a satellite research base. Oh my god, she hadn't expected to end up here by accident. She really had no plan at all.
I heard this thing was incredibly powerful, capable of blasting out of Earth and into outer space. It was more powerful than any of the powerful beings of their time. Even though those powerful beings could tear through space, they still didn't dare land in a space rift.
Yes, that’s what Tang Yue thought. She felt that there was no difference between outer space and space cracks.
Take it away, take it away directly from this place. She finally remembered where she had seen this thing before. Once in Teacher Kang's office, Teacher Kang sighed at a newspaper, and she glanced at it from a distance.
I heard that China hasn't developed this thing yet. If she takes this laboratory back now, will it speed up China's research progress?
Tang Yue looked at the researchers here again. Well, it’s a bit difficult to bring everyone back.
Suddenly, Tang Yue's eyes lit up. She scanned the entire lab and spotted the poor little kid who had just been bullied, standing next to a large piece of equipment. Tang Yue smiled.
Tang Yue floated to Kong Xiangwei's side and whispered directly into his ear, "Are you Chinese?"
It had become a daily occurrence for Kong Xiangwei to be ridiculed by Russian experts, often being blamed for their mistakes. But as these incidents accumulated, Kong Xiangwei grew increasingly disheartened. When would this end?
He really hopes that China can remember these scientists who are far away in other countries. He really wants to return to China and make contributions to China, but he can't go back.
To others, Kong Xiangwei was thinking seriously about the problem, but Tang Yue could see that he was distracted.
The sudden soft, childish voice beside his ear instantly brought Kong Xiangwei back to reality. He frowned. What was going on? Was he hallucinating? How could there be a little girl's voice here? This was completely contrary to common sense.
However, he still looked around, and when he saw no one, he was completely convinced that he had just heard something. Just as he was about to concentrate on his work, he heard another question in his ears.
"Why don't you answer me? Are you Chinese? Forget it, I shouldn't be, otherwise you wouldn't be unable to speak Chinese." Tang Yue suddenly remembered that the Japanese and the Khans might also have pronunciation holes?
Kong Xiangwei heard it clearly this time, but it was worse than not hearing it. It was simply too terrifying. His eyes widened involuntarily, and he turned around again to check if there was anyone around him.
But he still remembered what Tang Yue said, and he was afraid that the people around him would really leave like this, so he immediately replied in a low voice. "Don't go, I'm Chinese."
Tang Yue laughed. "Little guy, I can't cure you. Look, you've admitted it now."
Kong Xiangwei didn't hear a reply after he finished speaking. He was a little anxious. Could he really have left? Now he didn't care who was talking to him at all. As if he had grasped the last straw, he asked anxiously, "Are you still there?"
