Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 347 The Most Handsome Guy in Hong Kong

Li Changxi and Guo Zhenning were both stunned.

Their minds went blank and they found it difficult to accept this fact.

Guo Zhenning felt weak all over and sat back on the sofa, saying, "Oh my God! It's over! It's really over! Hu Jiangshan succeeded."

Li Changxi still didn't give up: "Does this count as success? Does it count as success if it reaches a certain height? ... That's not it, that's too simple."

Catherine smiled slightly. "Simple? This experimental rocket only has one stage, and it can fly to an altitude of 20 kilometers. This means it has the ability to at least send satellites to low orbit. Not many countries on Blue Planet can do that."

"This……"

Li Changxi was unable to refute and was speechless for a moment.

This is not good news. As Guo Zhenning said, Hu Jiangshan's rocket launch has attracted a lot of attention. If it is successful, it will bring great prestige to the Hu family.

More importantly, after this incident, Hu Jiangshan will become even more arrogant and no one can stop him.

How could Li Changxi tolerate this?

He, Li Changxi, is the number one nobleman in Hong Kong Island. In the past, Hu Jiangshan was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Now, the guy named Hu wants to kill him.

Li Changxi has always been smart and quick-witted, but now he is helpless. Listening to the cheers and applause coming from outside, he feels really bad and wants to leave here quickly.

At the same time, in the main control room of the space launch site, there was also a cheerful atmosphere, and the tense atmosphere that had just permeated the air was completely gone.

Zheng Lingfei and Fang Changqing were so excited that they couldn't help but jump up from their chairs. They high-fived each other the first moment. Even after more than ten minutes, they still couldn't sit down.

The same was true for the others. Those who were not sitting were all cheering and gathering in groups of three or four, chatting excitedly.

There's no way. My waist is too stiff and I can't sit down.

"Great! The launch was successful! I didn't expect it to be so easy."

"Yeah, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep last night."

"Me too. I couldn't even close my eyes, let alone sleep. My mind was full of icons and data. I was afraid something might go wrong today. Fortunately, everything went smoothly."

"That's great! Does that mean we've all passed?"

"Of course I'm qualified. How can I launch a rocket into the sky if I'm not qualified?"

"Hehe, I finally got to show off this time. I can brag about it for days when I get home."

"We are all the most handsome guys!"

Hu Jiangshan felt happy when he saw the cheerful expressions of these young employees, and naturally a smile appeared on his face.

Although this was just a simple launch mission for Hu Jiangshan, and he would not even be on site to command such missions in his previous life, these young people were different. This was the first rocket launch mission in their lives, so how could they not be excited?

Xiao Sa was also very happy and said to Wu Feipeng: "Xiao Wu, did you see that? Boss Hu really did it. He is really not an ordinary young master!"

What could Wu Feipeng say? He was speechless, but he still had to respond.

"...Yes, I really didn't expect that Boss Hu is really amazing."

The Tenglong Island Space Launch Center was outrageous from the inside out, completely beyond Wu Feipeng's imagination.

Now Hu Jiangshan no longer looks like a prodigal son. Instead, he looks like a business elite, no, a technological elite.

Now when I take a glance at Hu Jiangshan, his back looks much taller, so awesome!

Yang Bingbing walked up to Hu Jiangshan and congratulated him with a smile.

"Boss Hu, congratulations, the rocket launch experiment was successful."

"Thank you. Thanks to you, the arrival of your central media team has also brought me good luck."

Yang Bingbing smiled widely.

At this time, Yang Bingbing was still very young, a little childish, and her two dimples were more obvious.

Hu Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a meme popped up in his mind - My heart is cold.

Yang Bingbing said, "Boss Hu, you are really good at talking. What does this have to do with us? Boss Hu looks very confident and calm. He seems to have it all figured out, right?"

"Oh, you can say that this is just a launch test of a first-stage rocket. As long as the preliminary preparations are done well, theoretically there won't be any major problems."

"Boss Hu, will there be satellite launch services in the future?"

"Well, not for now. This time we just want to show the outside world that there is no problem with the space launch site's capabilities. That's enough. In the future, we will be committed to providing launch services to our partners."

"Oh, I see."

In fact, Hu Jiangshan had mentioned these words briefly during an interview before, but he didn't make them so clear.

This means that Hu Jiangshan only wants to build a space launch site for the time being and will only provide launch services, and will not develop its own rockets.

Having said that, it may not be the same in the future.

Yang Bingbing is very smart. Hu Jiangshan’s space launch site is so perfect. Hu Jiangshan must have great ambitions. It is easy to guess that the future development path will definitely not be simple.

Yang Bingbing looked at the various equipment and screens in the main control room, which was full of professionalism.

At the same time, in the imperial capital, the Starry Sky Glory headquarters
In the boss's office, Peng Xiaojun felt restless and uneasy.

Peng Xiaojun checked the time and murmured, "There should be news, right?"

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A man pushed the door open and walked in. It was the company's senior executive Liu Chao.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Chao is responsible for the final assembly of rockets in the company.

Simply put, it is to systematically assemble the developed parts, such as rocket engines, electronic control systems, flight control systems, rocket shells, etc., into a complete rocket entity, and then test it.

So Liu Chao’s role is relatively important.

"Mr. Peng, do you have time? I want to chat with you."

Peng Xiaojun nodded: "Okay, sit down, would you like something to drink?"

"Just give me a bottle of mineral water."

Peng Xiaojun took a bottle of mineral water from behind and threw it to Liu Chao.

"What do you want to talk about? Lao Liu."

Liu Chao said: "General Peng, the prototype has completed several simulation tests and the entire process. We have checked it many times and found no problems. This means that our department has no work to do now, so we can't delay it any longer and we still have to think of a solution."

Peng Xiaojun said: "We are trying to find a solution. Hong Kong Island said they will conduct a rocket launch test today. There is no news yet. We will talk about it when there is news. If they can succeed, we can transport the prototype to Hong Kong Island for the launch test."

Liu Chao thought for a moment and said, "General Peng, do you really think the launch site over in Hong Kong Island can be used?"

"Why can't it be used? As long as they prove that they can successfully launch the rocket this time, doesn't that mean their launch site can be used?" "I don't think it's that smooth. Don't you think Hu Jiangshan is just playing around?"

"Ah, why do I feel this way? Is it because Boss Hu is a playboy?"

"Yes, isn't this the style of a playboy? When he has no place to spend his money, he wants to start a few projects for fun. And they are usually very rare projects. In the end, it turns out that they can't be done at all, wasting a lot of money in vain."

What Liu Chao said was not random. Whether in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, or other places, it is difficult for most of the rich second generation to succeed in starting their own business.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the rich second generation not working properly, but we are afraid of them wanting to prove themselves.

Peng Xiaojun knew that Liu Chao didn't trust Hu Jiangshan at all, and was no longer surprised by his attitude.

"Old Liu, let's not jump to conclusions. After my contact with Boss Hu, I think he is quite reliable and should be a capable person. Aren't the chips we need still obtained by him?"

Liu Chao did not comment. A chip is just a chip, but that doesn’t mean Hu Jiangshan’s space launch site can handle it.

"Boss Peng, there is no news yet. If it was good news, they would have notified us long ago."

Peng Xiaojun frowned slightly. This was what he was worried about.

Hu Jiangshan had already informed Starry Sky Glory that a rocket would be launched today to test the function of the launch site, and asked us to pay attention to it. Of course, Peng Xiaojun took it very seriously.

Although she couldn't go herself, Fang Xiaoya still asked her to send an observation team over, not only to observe the rocket launch process, but also to take video for reference.

Looking at the time, the rocket launch in Hong Kong Island should have ended, but there has been no news sent by the observation team yet.

Peng Xiaojun said, "Why don't we ask Engineer Fang to go ask him?"

The person was sent by Fang Xiaoya, so it was most convenient for her to ask.

Liu Chao was somewhat helpless and nodded: "Okay, let her ask. Whether it is good news or bad news, we need to understand the situation now."

As the two were talking, someone knocked on the door again.

"Please come in."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. This time it was Fang Xiaoya who pushed the door open.

Peng Xiaojun asked: "Mr. Fang, we are looking for you."

At this time, Peng Xiaojun realized that Fang Xiaoya looked a little strange, and asked, "Mr. Fang, what's wrong? What happened? Oh, is there any news from Hong Kong Island?"

Fang Xiaoya nodded: "That's right, there is news! Mr. Peng, it's a success!"

Peng Xiaojun and Liu Chao were both stunned.

"what do you mean?"

"What was successful? Was the rocket launched successfully?"

Fang Xiaoya said, "Yes, General Peng, the rocket over in Hong Kong Island... uh, Boss Hu's rocket was successfully launched, and the vertical height rose to 20 kilometers."

"What? Twenty kilometers, a first-stage rocket?"

Peng Xiaojun couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

Liu Chao also widened his eyes and looked at Fang Xiaoya with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes, with only one stage, it has risen to 20 kilometers. This shows that the quality of the rocket is very good. More importantly, the function of the space launch site is also fine. General Peng, I think we can prepare to transport the rocket over."

Peng Xiaojun was also ecstatic: "Okay, okay, let's get ready quickly, Lao Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Chao's expression changed, and he seemed to still have concerns: "Mr. Fang, is this news reliable?"

Fang Xiaoya said: "It's reliable. I just received news that they are still at the scene."

"Well, what about the video? Have you sent any videos?"

Fang Xiaoya said: "Soon, they took a lot of videos and photos, and sent them over once they were sorted out."

Liu Chao said: "I think so. Let's watch the video first to see if the rocket was really launched successfully. Even if the launch was successful, the rocket's flight posture can also reveal a lot of things. It is safer for us to study it thoroughly before making a decision."

Actually, there is nothing wrong with what Liu Chao said. We can't be impatient about such things and we need to be careful and cautious.

If a misunderstanding occurs and the rocket transportation plan is launched first, and if it turns out not to be the case, the losses will be huge.

Fang Xiaoya quickly contacted the observation team in Hong Kong Island and asked them to send the video as soon as possible.

A moment later, Fang Xiaoya received an email in her mailbox. The attachment was a very large one, which was a live video of the rocket launch.

Fang Xiaoya opened the video in front of Peng Xiaojun and Liu Chao and clicked to play.

The observation team was seen in an open space with a lot of people. The video footage showed there were about fifty or sixty people.

Although stools and chairs were prepared, almost no one sat down. It was obvious that everyone was too excited to sit still.

The person shooting the video was in a relatively high position, as if he was standing on a chair, and a rocket launch pad could be seen in the distance.

At this time, the guardrail on the launch pad had been opened, and a rocket could be clearly seen standing there.

The rocket is about 20 to 30 meters tall, with a flat top, which means it has no payload and is a full-size first-stage rocket.

Soon, everyone started counting loudly at the same time.

It's a countdown.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one..."

The shouts were uniform and loud.

Just as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard not far away.

Immediately afterwards, flames and huge smoke burst out from the tail of the rocket, and it slowly rose into the air.

Peng Xiaojun couldn't help but say: "It's very stable. The lift-off posture is very stable and the speed is also good."

We are all aerospace experts, and we can see a lot of clues even when the rocket is just launched.

And it is at this stage that the level of the space launch site can be seen.

This rocket not only has a very stable launch posture, but also has a speed that is neither too fast nor too slow, with just the right rhythm, which shows that the launch pad's ignition system and stabilization system are very good.

In the blink of an eye, the rocket has risen to a height of several hundred meters in the sky, and the camera is trying its best to catch up with the rocket.

The equipment used by the Starry Sky Glory observation team is very professional, which is a SLR camera equipped with a telephoto lens, so the shooting distance is no problem and it can track to a very far altitude.

The rocket was seen climbing steadily upwards, and after a few minutes, it completely disappeared from the video's field of view.

Peng Xiaojun said happily: "That's enough, that's enough. The fact that it can fly so high stably means that the rocket launch must have been successful."

Liu Chao was speechless. Now he could only admit that Hu Jiangshan was very capable.

There is now no reason to object to launching the Star Glory rocket prototype from Hong Kong Island.
