Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2536 The Targeted Prototype
Forty-nine cities and nine departments.

A group of people were talking in Yang Xiaotao's office, their eyes all focused on the phone in Yang Youning's hand.

Just now, the satellite phone on the table suddenly rang, and everyone immediately gathered around.

Yang Youning was the closest, so he took a few steps forward, picked up the phone according to what Yang Xiaotao had taught him, pulled out the antenna, and pressed the connect button.

Then Yang Youning carefully said into the microphone, "Hello, hello?"

"anyone there?"

The people around held their breath and stared at the phone on the table.

After a while, there was still no response on the phone. The people in the room were a little anxious, but they didn't dare to speak loudly and could only talk in a low voice.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Peng came up to him, their eyes were solemn.

"Why is there no sound?"

"Is it broken? Or is the voice too quiet? Shout again?"

Just as the two were talking in a low voice, a familiar voice suddenly came from the microphone.

"Hello, have you eaten yet?"

Cold, calmly cold!

Quiet, lonely quiet!

In the room, the moment this sound was heard, it was as if the pause button was pressed, and the space paused for a moment.

The phone was very loud, and there was no way to adjust the volume these days.

And if the voice is not loud, how can others notice it?
How can I show off?

The next second, Yang Youning immediately put his mouth close to the microphone and replied, "No, I haven't eaten yet!"

After I finished shouting, I realized that something was wrong.

Everyone around came to their senses and looked at me as if I were a fool. What's the point of talking about whether to eat or not?
Just ask what's going on.

And Yang Xiaotao, can't you say something serious at such an important historical moment?

Have you eaten yet?
When I talk to others about this from now on, the first thing I’ll ask is whether they have eaten.

So the people in the Ninth Department only care about eating?

Everyone stared at Yang Youning, but Comrade Yang was also feeling wronged in his heart.

He was just following what Yang Xiaotao said!

Li Hongfeng, who was standing by, saw that Yang Youning didn't say anything, so he stepped forward and leaned over to the phone, "Xiao Yang, this is Lao Li, did you hear me?"

"I heard you, Lao Li. You heard me talking here. What's wrong with you? Why don't you say anything when you answer the phone?"

"By the way, how are you guys doing there?"

"Hello, hello?"

When Yang Xiaotao's voice was heard, everyone was too happy to pay attention!
Chen Lao came forward and said, "Xiao Tao, it's me! What's going on over there?"

After saying that, he distanced himself and asked Li Hongfeng to hold up the phone.

Yang Xiaotao recognized the voice as that of Mr. Chen, and the exciting news came over the phone, "Reporting to the commander, I am now at the observation deck of the Suzhou Launch Center. Just half an hour ago, the Practice-1 satellite was successfully launched."

"Just now, the satellite's solar panels turned on and started working normally!"

"We are communicating via satellite transmission right now!"

"Commander, the satellite phone handover is smooth!"

"We made it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Chen was the first to applaud.

Mr. Peng also felt relieved and then smiled.

At the end, there was applause in the room.

Outside the room, a group of people were already hugging each other.

Mr. Ye was wiping his eyes, and the people in the research institute were the happiest.

It was not until this moment, when they heard Yang Xiaotao say that they had succeeded, that they were completely relieved.

Similarly, cheers were heard from the other end of the phone.

Although the two sides are thousands of miles apart, the joy is the same!

After everyone spread the good news and the noise in the office died down, President Peng stepped forward and said, "Xiao Tao!"

After a while, Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the phone.

"Boss Peng, I'm here, go ahead!"

"Well, congratulations, you have done something very meaningful!"

"Thank you Mr. Peng for your affirmation. We will continue to work hard!"

"Well, come back as soon as possible!"

"Yes, tomorrow's flight! Just in time for me to go back for the New Year."

"it is good!"

Mr. Peng just said a few simple words, but he couldn't stop smiling!

Everyone present understood that this was just the beginning.

What happens next will have to wait until Yang Xiaotao comes back.

But they know in their hearts that things will only get better in the future!

Mr. Ye stood up and walked out, followed by everyone from the research institute. They wanted to go back to the research institute and celebrate in their own way.

President Peng looked at the satellite phone surrounded by a group of people, and his eyes became warm.

He has realized the advantages of this communication tool.

Even though it is thousands of miles away, it can be sent in just a few minutes.

Compared with current telephones, this is countless times faster.

Especially in remote areas.

Every time I make a call, I have to transfer the line again and again, and the call quality is poor, it can't be compared with the phone in front of me!

Even compared with the telegraph, it is inferior.

If you encounter a situation where every second counts, the advantage will be obvious.

This thing must be supported!
"Lao Chen, I want to take this phone back with me."

President Peng realized how valuable this thing was and that it was an epoch-making advancement in communications, so he couldn't just leave it alone.

"Lao Peng, it's not possible now. These are just prototypes and are still under experimentation."

Mr. Chen naturally understood the significance of this satellite phone. He had known about it before, but he never expected it to be successful.

But now, it’s a success!
This has a different meaning!

Seeing Mr. Peng frown, Mr. Chen explained again, "I heard from Xiao Yang that this is only a preliminary version. Many aspects still need to be tested, and it can be further improved later."

"But this time we made a total of four phones. When they finish the experiment, we'll give you two and you can use them as you wish!"

"Two copies are too few. Such a good thing should cost at least a thousand or ten thousand copies!"

After Mr. Peng finished speaking, Mr. Chen almost rolled his eyes, "I know it's too little, but this is the situation now. You can't change it even if you tell me to!"

"Besides, do you think Xiao Yang and the others don't want to do more?"

"That's because this thing is expensive!"

"The manufacturing cost of a phone is almost as much as that of an airplane!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Peng's expression became complicated, but he did not doubt the cost.

I was thinking whether to allocate part of the equipment procurement budget to the Ninth Department.

After all, compared to those outdated equipment, this new equipment can greatly improve combat effectiveness!
Just thinking about the products of Department 9, from armored vehicles to airplanes, and even tanks in the future, if he adds a telephone now, his meager budget will be almost eaten up by Department 9!
What does this leave other departments to do?
For a moment, Mr. Peng was a little undecided!

When Mr. Chen saw Mr. Peng struggling, he understood why Yang Xiaotao called him and asked him to help come to the Ninth Department to take charge.

I just thought about the current situation. The experiment hasn't even been completed yet, but someone has already come up with the idea of ​​making a prototype!
Just as the two were talking, an urging voice suddenly came from the crowd nearby. The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Youning holding a piece of paper in his hand and carefully dialing a phone number.

The next second, a strange voice came from inside, "Hello, I'm from Suzhou Airport, I'm Zhang Cheng..."

Everyone was stunned. Yang Youning didn't expect that the No. 2 unit was actually parked at the airport, and he had never heard of Zhang Cheng.

How could he greet someone if he didn’t even know his name?
The people around looked at each other in amazement, as none of them recognized him.

"Hey, come on, who are you?"

Zhang Cheng's curious voice came from the phone.

At this moment, Mr. Peng suddenly thought of something and stepped forward quickly.

"Zhang Cheng? It's me!"

"Hello, Mr. Peng!"

A serious voice immediately came from the other side.

"Well, what's the situation over there?"

"Report to General Peng!" "Everything is normal here. The planes are on standby and the soldiers are ready at all times!"

"Well, don't let your guard down."

"Yes!"

Then the call was hung up. President Peng glanced at Yang Youning and warned him, "Don't make random calls!"

Yang Youning was startled and immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

Suzhou Airport.

After Zhang Cheng hung up the phone, he looked excited.

Wang Hao, standing nearby, was also excitedly telling people around the airport about the news about the "satellite phone," and he looked no less impressive than a storyteller.

Of course, he heard all this from other people.

It's enough to show it off now.

Zhang Cheng touched the satellite phone on the table as if he were looking at the most precious treasure.

I even fantasized in my mind that if I had eight or ten phones like this, and then put each one on a Baiju fighter jet, and if I flew it out, I wouldn't have to worry about communication at least within a few thousand miles.

It can even break through defenses by relying on its speed and altitude advantages, and then guide missiles from the rear to carry out precision strikes.

You can also send paratroopers deep behind enemy lines to investigate the enemy situation, and after locking onto the target, let the artillery concentrate fire.

Well enough.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng only felt that many ideas and thoughts emerged in his head, and his imagination was greatly expanded.

But the prerequisite is that such a machine must be kept.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng felt a little conflicted. After all, this was sent by the Ninth Ministry for inspection. It might not be good to keep it, and it might even offend the Ninth Ministry and Yang Xiaotao.

So, after much thought, Zhang Cheng decided to go to the launch base and talk to Yang Xiaotao in person.

Anyway, if we can make four out of nine, we can make forty or four hundred.

This one should be fine for myself.

Seeing Wang Hao chatting happily, Zhang Cheng walked up to him enthusiastically and said, "Captain Wang, your Ninth Division is really full of talented people."

In Yang Xiaotao's office in the Ninth Department, the phone rang again shortly after it was put down.

Everyone looked at each other and were afraid to answer the call. Finally, it was Old Chen who raised his hand to signal, and Yang Youning carefully answered the call.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"I'm Liu Huaimin, is anyone there?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Liu Huaimin's voice. Li Hongfeng quickly asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong with you?"

"Lao Li, we succeeded, we succeeded!"

"Xiao Taotong called me just now and I was shocked, but luckily I reacted quickly, haha~"

"We succeeded, we succeeded!"

"From now on, the world is as close as a neighbor. This is really the world is as close as a neighbor!"

When everyone heard Liu Huaimin's joy, they couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Xiao Tao also asked us to communicate with each other and test the signal communication. It seems that there is nothing wrong here."

"I'm going to call Unit 2!"

Liu Huaimin was about to hang up the phone when Yang Youning recalled what happened just now and shouted, "Hey, hey, wait a minute!"

"Lao Yang, what's wrong?"

Yang Youning immediately said, "Well, don't call Unit 2 if you have nothing to do."

"What?"

"No reason!"

Yang Youning looked at Mr. Peng carefully without explaining, and then changed the subject, "Lao Liu, when will you be back?"

"Remember to bring your phone back!"

Then another voice came from the other end of the line, "Secretary Li, this is Wang Dahai. Don't worry, we will definitely entertain Secretary Liu well!"

"Director Wang, hello! Have you eaten?"

"Eat now, everything has been arranged. Secretary Li, when will you come?"

"By the way, Secretary Li, why don't you leave this phone with us..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen snorted coldly, "Wang Dahai, you are amazing!"

The voice on the phone lasted for three seconds, and then it immediately changed to Liu Huaimin, "Hello, Chief! Let's do the experiment first!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

The next second, everyone burst into laughter.

"Old Chen, I'm leaving first!"

President Peng glanced at the satellite phone on the table again, his eyes unable to conceal his joy.

Elder Chen nodded, and then nodded, “It just so happens that I also need to report the situation, let’s go together!”

Mr. Peng nodded, and everyone escorted him out of the building together.

"Watch this phone carefully. No one can be missing!"

Before getting in the car, Mr. Chen gave a strict order to Li Hongfeng and his group.

Li Hongfeng immediately assured, "Don't worry, Chief, I guarantee there will be one!"

Watching the two cars drive away.

Li Hongfeng, Yang Youning, Chen Gong, Wang Guodong and others suddenly relaxed, and then some people laughed.

Gradually, the laughter became more and more frequent, louder and more and more enjoyable!

"Let's go eat!"

"Yes, let's go eat!"

……

Northwest, launch base.

Gu Qiwen looked at the crowd not far away that was bursting with excitement from time to time, then looked at the people around him. He couldn't help but touch his head, with a puzzled look on his face, "Shouldn't we be the protagonists?"

"How come they are happier than us!"

The base launch personnel nearby nodded in agreement.

Wang Can, who came with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, smiled sullenly, but he had an indescribable complicated feeling in his heart.

Wang Xuebin beside him also raised his fist and said, "Shouldn't we be happy?"

"We launched successfully."

Then he smiled at Ran's father who was a little excited and a little reserved, "Old Ran, how about it, didn't you expect it?"

"Your uncle is much more capable than you!"

Father Ran snorted coldly after hearing this, "Just a little bit of achievement, that's all!"

Wang Xuebin walked forward after hearing this and said, "You are just being stubborn. If you have the ability, you can come up with one too!"

"I'll go make a phone call too. This thing will be very useful in the future!"

After hearing this, Father Ran snorted coldly, but still walked forward involuntarily.

After all, this satellite phone is of great significance to future communications.

In the future, when they go to those mountain valleys or bases to guide work, bringing such a satellite phone will also help them communicate with the rear.

"This thing is still very useful."

Father Ran muttered and walked quickly to the front of the crowd.

Just as the two men approached, Yang Xiaotao was comforting Shu Xingbei.

The moment the call went through, the old man was so excited that he sat on the ground, covering his face with his hands and choking with sobs.

Yang Xiaotao also found out about it after he finished the phone call, and then he came over to comfort her.

"Military Yang, it's not easy for us! It's too difficult!"

"From nothing to something, from zero to one, it has not been easy for us to get here."

Shu Xingbei was like an old child, crying and laughing at the same time, saying words that everyone around him could understand but could not feel.

And all of this was finally described by the three words: not easy.

Everyone understands that it is true and it is not easy.

"I know, I know. It's not easy for you, it's not easy for me, it's not easy for anyone..."

Yang Xiaotao went up to the old man and pulled him up. "Lao Shu, no matter how difficult it is, we have come this far, right?"

"Now is the day for us to be happy."

"It's time to celebrate, celebrate well!"

Shu Xingbei took a deep breath, wiped away his tears, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, this is the day we should be happy."

After that, he looked at the phone on the table and said seriously, "This is the day we should be happy. I'm going to make a call and tell Old Ye that we succeeded."
