Chapter 5: Start training for the Olympics



After receiving the medal, Xiao Zhen took six of his subordinates to the Paradise Center for a stroll and dinner, and then asked his father to use the Huaguang Company's car to take his colleagues back to the company on his private plane.

Xiao Zhen drove to the folk music bar in Shichahai where Fatty Song was a resident singer and listened to songs for two hours before strolling back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

The next day, after finishing morning exercise, I checked my email and found out that Jason and his team would arrive in Shanghai in two days to start pre-competition training for the Sydney Olympics.

After breakfast, Xiao Zhen drove to the Sports Team and reported to them that he was about to start pre-match training. The team leader then called the Athletics Association and asked their contact to bring the information to No. 95 Courtyard to meet Xiao Zhen early the next morning.

Xiao Zhen bid farewell to the sports team and drove to his uncle Yang's place. His uncle Yang happened to be free at noon.

"You are really fast, I thought you wouldn't come at noon." Uncle Yang patted Xiao Zhen's shoulder and said

"You're not eating actively, and there's something wrong with your thinking. I'm here to eat in the office cafeteria. Uncle Yang, I've started my pre-match training.

This afternoon I went to the Ministry of Aerospace to ask Mr. Qi what they wanted from me, and then I returned to Shanghai to start training. "Xiao Zhen said, fiddling with the tea set familiarly.

"That's good. You've been working on the project for so long. It's time to give your brain a good rest. You should train hard first and strive to get better results." Lao Yang said while drinking the tea brewed by Xiao Zhen.

"Thanks for your kind words. I don't know if Mr. Qi has any requirements for the time of the task." Xiao Zhen gave Uncle Yang some tea and said

"Xiao Zhen, let me tell you something. You almost became an astronaut.

However, the senior leader said that Comrade Xiao Zhen is a technological general who fights in the front lines, so how could he be a mine-clearing engineer? That's why he was not recruited to the astronaut corps for training.

Besides, you haven't married or had children yet, so you don't meet the requirements. "Old Yang said

"Ah, astronauts must get married and have children?" Xiao Zhen asked curiously, not really paying attention to the astronaut selection criteria.

"As a scientific researcher, you know that space activities are actually very risky scientific projects. Once an accident occurs, there will be no trace of the ashes.

That’s why they require people to be married and have children to join the reserve astronaut corps.” Uncle Yang said

"That's true. Uncle Yang means that if I get married and have children, I might be selected into the astronaut corps?" Xiao Zhen cut another Cohiba for Uncle Yang, lit it, and handed it to him.

"The chances are slim. Since your scientific research capabilities are so strong, we can't afford to lose the big picture over the small. It's not like we can't select someone to serve as an astronaut.

You were selected to train in the reserve astronaut corps mainly because your body overload data on foreign aircraft during the sonic boom at sea was so excellent.

It's time to pack up and go to the cafeteria for dinner!" Uncle Yang said as he put out the cigar in his hand.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry!" Xiao Zhen stood up and said exaggeratedly

Uncle Yang had a foreign affairs activity at 2:30 pm, so Xiao Zhen followed Uncle Yang to have a meal in the office cafeteria. After saying goodbye to Uncle Yang, he returned to Nanluoguxiang to make an appointment with General Qi and took a lunch break.

His uncle Yang is 75 years old this year and is still so worried, but this is his last term. His uncle Ma has been in Beijing for a year and is working as a senior leader in the Ministry of Industry.

His classmate Zeng Lin's father was a deputy minister in charge of criminal investigation at the Ministry of Public Security. However, Zeng Lin withdrew his shares and had no contact with him since the incident with his classmate's cousin.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhen went to Beihang University to visit Lao Qi, the chief engineer of aerospace.

"I've been waiting for you. You're the one who's responsible for developing our spacecraft system. Is that a problem?" Old Qi stated the job requirements directly.

"No problem, but Mr. Qi has to wait until after I finish participating in the Olympics. I will officially accept the research project around October 20th. Is that okay? Will it delay the time?" Xiao Zhen took the tea and asked.

"We still have plenty of time. We estimate that half a year is enough for you to launch the unmanned mission. You will be responsible for the core algorithms of signal transmission and attitude adjustment." Lao Qi said

"There shouldn't be any problem. We still have plenty of time." Xiao Zhen said

"Then report to Beihang University on October 20th, and your work location will be at the National Space Command Center." Lao Qi said...

In the evening, Xiao Zhen cooked some simple meals in Nanluoguxiang, and then drove to the airport to fly to Shanghai.

After resting for a day in Zhenyuan, I moved with my team to Songfeng Manor in Pudong.

Jason and others were already waiting for Xiao Zhen at Songfeng Garden, and the track and field team's contact person, Lao Cheng, had also arrived.

Jason first took Xiao Zhen to the Sports Rehabilitation Center of the People's Club for a physical examination.

After the team received the physical test report, there was no problem with the body fat percentage. Based on the test data, Jason suggested flying to Kunming Haigeng for plateau training, which would be more effective.

"Then we'll go to Haigeng the day after tomorrow. Mr. Zhang, take your housekeeping team with you today to clean and replenish the necessary supplies in our accommodation.

Coach Jason, the security team and I will fly to Kunming for dinner the day after tomorrow. ” Xiao Zhen said

"Okay, let's pack up and leave this afternoon." Lao Zhang replied

Xiao Zhen and the coaching team started training at the training center of the People's War God Club. In the afternoon, they watched a game against the Taishan team in the box. The Taishan team has always been a traditional strong team in the China League One and the Chinese Super League.

There is no suspense in the game. The home court of the People's War God team is not so easy to break. Besides, the People's team can win in the AFC Champions League with its deep bench, let alone domestically.

I heard that the Parma Warriors will come to Asia for a tour exhibition in September, and Xiao Zhen is very much looking forward to it.

On May 10, Xiao Zhen and Jason's coaching team and Fan Dabo's security team arrived in Kunming and settled in the Haigeng training ground.

From that day on, Xiao Zhen began his high-intensity pre-Olympic training. After such a long time without proper training, Xiao Zhen's 100-meter sprint results had declined a bit. After 7 days of training in Haigeng, the training evaluation barely got within 10 seconds.

After Jason took Xiao Zhen for another test at the National Football Team Testing Center, he began a 20-day targeted training based on Xiao Zhen's physical indicators. Dr. Kang and Matthew also adjusted Xiao Zhen's diet structure.

It was not until the end of May that Xiao Zhen recovered his performance in the Seville World Championships during the training evaluation, but he had not yet returned to his best competitive form.

To be honest, Xiao Zhen himself felt a little tired over the past month.

Jason also felt that he needed to combine work and rest, so he rested for three days. Xiao Zhen meant that he should have a happy Children's Day.

So the group drove to Ruili, and Xiao Zhen took Jason, Fan Dabao, Lao Zhang and others to the jade market to shop and have fun for two days.

Old Zhang is considered a half-expert, but he only knows top-quality goods, which is a bit strange. Xiao Zhen thought about it and realized that the young master had been playing with top-quality goods since he was a child.
