I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 229 Eat more vegetables and get more sun
Publicity is becoming more and more popular, and there is almost no domestic Internet user who does not know about "Shunfeng Hourly Delivery". This brainwashing slogan has also spread across the sea and reached the other side of the ocean.

National Research Office (NRO).

Office of Signals Intelligence.

A mission brief arrived on Harris' desk.

As Director of the Signals Intelligence Office, he was specifically responsible for the control observations of the Keyhole and Rhyolite series of satellites.

Because of the special status of the aircraft carrier, most of the missions it receives come from the Air Force and the Intelligence Agency.

Under normal circumstances.

His job has no focus, he just determines the monitoring schedule based on the satellite's operation status.

Unless the docking department has a clear monitoring task, they will adjust the satellite's speed and orbit and aim the camera at a specific point.

"97°10', 42°47? Those are the coordinates for their northern steppe, right?"

Harris looked at the latitude and longitude sent by the Intelligence Agency and immediately identified the location of hell.

He looked on the map and found that this was a place called Black Water Flag.

Blackwater Flag is also a veteran actor and often appears in Harris's field of vision.

This is a newly built space base, which is mainly responsible for the launch of carrier rockets and satellites, and the threat is not that great.

But since the Intelligence Bureau has specifically marked it, there must be big moves here.

"Yes, the Intelligence Bureau asked us to focus on monitoring their space city in the next few days." The subordinate reported word by word.

"Why? Any activities?"

"The Intelligence Bureau reported that a carrier rocket launch mission will be carried out here."

"Their work is really flawless, and the time is clearly marked."

Except for the coordinates.
A precise time point was also delivered to Harris.

Three days later at 9:15.

The time is accurate to the minute, which shows that the Intelligence Bureau's intelligence is extremely thorough.

usually.

Except for large-scale public launch activities, there will be no clear time point for the Rabbit House to leak out. It all depends on the efforts of the intelligence department.

If the approximate nodes can be detected, the keyhole can play a certain role.

If the exact time point can be detected, Harris' workload will be much less, and he can coordinate the satellite's operating speed and orbit in advance.

However, subordinates quickly denied that this was an effort by the Intelligence Bureau: "This is public intelligence."

"The Blackwater Flag was on commercial rocket business three days later."

“So the time and location are public on the Internet.”

What the secretary said was conservative.

The relevant information is not considered public, but advertising.

Whenever you type relevant information on the Internet, you will be bombarded with advertisements, fearing that others don't know about it.

Harris was stunned for half a second, and doubts crept into his mind.

public?

Still for commercial use?
What's the point of monitoring then?

Keyhole is the first choice among satellite reconnaissance methods and is mainly used for military and espionage missions.

Whenever they open their eyes, they are aimed at nuclear missile silos, rocket force positions, or at least confidential areas.

Since it has already been made public, using keyhole surveillance is a bit of a waste of resources.

"The Intelligence Bureau can handle this kind of mission with its own ground intelligence team. Why are they looking for us?"

"The intelligence agency said they wanted to accurately grasp the base's every move and obtain high-definition pictures to judge their technology."

"What's there to judge about a commercial launch vehicle?"

The director's question was a bit beyond the scope, and the secretary shook his head helplessly: "I only heard that the company that carried out the launch this time was a high-risk target of the Intelligence Bureau. Although it is a commercial company, it has been the focus of the Intelligence Bureau in the past few years."

"What kind of company is this, anyway?"

"The name is Chendun Technology"

"..."

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away, Xue Chengying came to Bureau 16 with a piece of intelligence.

"Old Gu, it's time to work."

Gu Hai raised his head and saw an encrypted document thrown on his desk.

"You're looking for trouble for me again, because you think I'm not busy enough?"

"Nonsense, maybe he's trying to get you a first-class merit or something."

Gu Hai's main task is to collect and summarize intelligence, and then distribute the intelligence to relevant units.

How they implement the response is their business.

Bureau 16, where Gu Hai works, is mainly responsible for image intelligence collection and satellite analysis.

In essence, it also belongs to the collection sequence, and is the same type of job as Xue Chengying.

The only difference is.

Xue Chengying uses people, while Gu Hai uses machines.

So he was somewhat curious about the information Xue Chengying brought.

"What intelligence do you have that's worthy of my review?"

"Keyhole."

"Oh, then you really found a great job for me."

"What do you think? My people have received accurate information. Recently, NRO has made targeted deployments on the two keyholes."

"Why? There hasn't been any major action from the various departments recently."

"If you ask me, who should I ask? The leader asked you to try your best to understand their investigation intentions."

Gu Hai reviewed the known information in his mind.

The troops have activities, but they are all daily training and routine operations.

The aircraft carrier and missile forces also did not report major events in advance.

Major scientific research institutions in China are also proceeding step by step.

Whenever these confidential departments have any major moves, they will inform the relevant units in advance. So Gu Hai couldn't figure out what the Eagle Sauce was up to.

He immediately went to the control room and asked his men to check the keyhole's trajectory over the past few days. He calculated some geographic coordinates through acceleration and orbital changes, and then used AI for comparison, and finally identified two suspicious locations.

"Based on their operating rules, I feel that the target is either the First Aircraft Factory or the Blackwater Flag launch base."

"It's impossible for the First Machinery Factory. They have almost no open-air operations now." Xue Chengying used his experience to immediately rule out a wrong answer.

"That's the Blackwater Flag. Isn't there a launch base there? I guess there's some launch mission going on there?"

"You know what, it's true!" Xue Chengying immediately remembered.

"What mission? We haven't received any notification anyway."

"Nonsense, do I need to notify you about a civilian rocket launch?"

If Xue Chengying and Chen Dun hadn't been close recently, he wouldn't have known about this.

Now he has some impression.

The Thousand-Handed Guanyin, jointly developed by Chendun and Shunfeng, was launched in these two days.

However, this mission does not have any military nature. They only notified the aerospace department and there is no need to inform the confidentiality department.

But the word "civilian" made Gu Hai confused: "Civilian business, why is the keyhole so excited? The speed of operation has been irregular in the past three days, obviously to keep an eye on the Black Water Flag."

"How should I know? I owe you money."

Gu Hai glanced at Xue Chengying unhappily: "Anyway, I will report this result, you should notify the relevant parties."

When the intelligence from the confidentiality department was passed down to the Blackwater Flag launch site step by step, the ocean here had changed.

In the main control room.

The gongs and drums are roaring.

Firecrackers went off.

There was thunderous applause.

Everyone has a smile on their face.

Especially Wei Xiao, the corners of her mouth were almost curled up to the sky, she took two steps and came behind Chen Chen.

"Hey ha! You're amazing, Chen Chen. This is the happiest day of my year."

"Don't be happy too soon, you just succeeded in lighting the fire."

There was no trace of joy on Chen Chen's face.

Don't talk about joy.

He even looked a little paralyzed.

Just a minute ago.

The Lanque-1 carrier rocket successfully ignited and took off.

For a launch vehicle, this is already half the battle.

Wei Xiao also wanted to be more steady, but her strength did not allow it.

When she first proposed the grand vision of using rockets to deliver packages, she was also unsure.

Just because of the huge benefits behind it, he rushed in headfirst.

It turns out that this thing is indeed not as simple as flying an airplane, and it is likely to fail if you are not careful.

In the early days, when I was doing it on my own, I took a lot of detours.

Fortunately, Chen Chen is here.

He took the initiative to participate in the project with the Morning Breeze team, corrected the project flaws in a very short time, and facilitated the successful launch of the rocket within the original schedule.

At this point, Wei Xiao was already very close to a tenfold rebate.

“Although I was taught to open champagne at halftime, what should I do if I still want to open it?”

Facing Wei Xiao's unreasonable request, Chen Chen waved his hand quickly: "The old saying is right. No one will remember the second place unless they are always the second place. No one will remember the second place unless champagne is opened at halftime."

"Bullshit, there is no second place. Shunfeng is obviously the first company in China to develop launch vehicles. I will not accept any rebuttal to my claim of first place."

"Isn't this still unsuccessful?"

Wei Xiao pouted and pointed at the image of a rocket soaring into the sky on the big screen: "It's already flying like this, and it's still not considered a success?"

"A rocket is not like an airplane. It's done once it flies."

"This is only the first launch and we need to do two subjects."

"First take off, then enter orbit. Only when we enter orbit can we be considered successful."

Chen Chen's tone was very rational, and somewhat abstinent.

Wei Xiao almost didn't recognize him anymore.

Maybe this is the charm of engineering men.

indeed.

This launch was not a full-process one, it was only a test of ignition and orbit entry. The subsequent retraction and recovery were part of the Phase II plan and were not involved this time.

But the fewer subjects, the higher the success rate.

The ignition has been successful, how far is it from entering orbit?

She had absolute confidence in Chen Chen: "I don't care, rounding it off means I succeeded."

"Don't give it up like this."

"Hehe, let's be honest. If it works, hook and hang will work. Once it has legal effect, you will be more reliable in your work."

Chen Chen's heart tightened, and he looked at Wei Xiao seriously. Fortunately, he had said that he would turn into a puppy, so the cost was not too high.

"Let me remind you that I promised Shang Tianang."

“Isn’t this already up?”

"Yes... In the next few days, you should get more sun, eat more vegetables, and stay alone less, okay?"

Wei Xiao was confused by what he said, and thought to herself, you are the one who gets more sun.

How can I still be depressed when there is such a great thing?

Absolutely not.

At this moment, Xu Chuang, who was even more ecstatic than Wei Xiao, came to Chen Chen.

"Boss Chen! It's all thanks to you! You've finally earned enough face for me this time."
