"He's actually a lieutenant general!"

Yu Sannong immediately shifted his attention and became more serious.

On the TV, the lieutenant general said: "Viewers in front of the TV, we announced good news to everyone through the Empire Daily earlier, that there will be a surprise on the day of the launch of the spacecraft.

Now, I will announce this surprise.

According to the Chairman's instructions, this launch mission will invite an additional 20 TV viewers to serve as temporary crew members to board the ship and fly to the moon.

Because these twenty places are surprise places, we will locate them directly through TV signals. As long as you are sitting in front of the TV, you may be invited by us.

We will send twenty of the most advanced space fighters using spaceship technology to meet these lucky people. No matter where you are in the empire, as long as you are selected, you will be here within an hour.

.

If you hear someone knocking on the door after ten minutes, please remember to open the door, because it may be a huge surprise.

Regarding the safety issue of boarding the spaceship, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress specially told me that he himself will be on board the ship, so there must be no problem with safety issues."

The announcement of the lieutenant general had just been completed, and the viewers in front of the TV were a little incredulous. Is it too late to make a temporary selection, and it is also a nationwide selection?

Of course you can!

As soon as the TV screen turned, it suddenly switched to an airport. There were twenty very sci-fi fighter planes parked on the airport. They did not need to taxi and took off directly vertically.

This is the empire's most elite Shenlong fighter.

At the end of World War II, the Shenlong fighter jet, which adopted part of the planet's internal aircraft technology, participated in secret air strikes on German nuclear facilities and was also deployed for emergency response.

The twenty Shenlong SL-2 fighters in front of us have fully possessed the performance of planetary civil war fighters. They are the bottom of the medium-voltage box in the Imperial Air Force's standing arsenal and are used to perform temporary emergency missions.

A few seconds later, twenty Shenlong S-2 fighters had received the address signal from the headquarters, took off vertically, disappeared from the TV screen at a fleeting speed, and flew to all directions of the empire.

This speed has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

The reason why Zhang Shusheng allowed these and advanced weapons to appear in people's sight was just to emphasize the importance of scientific and technological development and to show that the empire's scientific and technological level has the potential to explore space.

The more you hide some things, the more people will be confused about them. After all, compared with daily necessities, high technology is always obscure. But once you fully announce it, they will not only understand it, but also actively support it.

.

As soon as the screen changed, a black Shenlong fighter plane was flying at high speed outside the atmosphere. The speed shown on the screen had reached several thousand times the speed of sound. Although the speed of light is equal to nearly ◎10,000 times the speed of sound, this is after all a flight within the planet.

The speed of sound is already so fast that only equipment specially designed to capture and monitor it and provide pictures for television can see it clearly. At thousands of times the speed of sound, it only takes no more than a minute to reach any place from Xichang.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the picture only showed a fighter plane flying at high speed for an instant, then turned around again and stopped somewhere.

The speed is too fast! This is what all the viewers think. Although the speed of the spacecraft is much faster than this speed, the feeling is not as direct as this.

"Xiaoru, if our family is invited, you must let me go."

Old man Yu was in a particularly good mood, as if he would definitely be invited. Of course, his children all knew that the old man was thinking wildly again.

"What do you think you are thinking? I really want to go. That is a good thing. As for me, the old man might be there. Don't look at how many lives I had to avoid back then when I am a teacher now."

Yu Sannong was dissatisfied and said that he was just thinking about it.

"Okay, okay, dad, if you win the prize, we will let you go." The chairman of the committee was about to board the ship, but Yu Xiaoru was not worried about safety.

The old man was happy now. Even his students all expressed their support for him and would not compete with him for their position. This made him greatly relieved.

People in the room continued to watch the TV screen and the host was still saying something. About seven minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

Mr. Yu almost jumped up when he heard the knock on the door, but Yu Xiaoru quickly stopped him and opened the door himself.

"Comrade, may I ask if this is Yu Sannong's home?"

Yu Xiaoru opened the door and saw three people wearing special blue and black military uniforms standing outside the door. She couldn't help but be startled, "Yes, you, who are you looking for?"

"We found Mr. Yu Sannong, who was invited to participate in the moon landing plan as one of the twenty special guests."

The soldier saluted and said seriously.

"What?..."

Yu Xiaoru was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it until the officer said it for the third time before she realized what she was saying.

Then, after confirming again, she walked into the house and said carefully to Sannong, "Dad, I want to tell you something, but you promise not to get excited..." Just like that, like a dream, twenty minutes later, Yu Sannong

The old man stood at the launch auditorium of Xichang Aerospace Center.

Looking at everything that was on TV just now, he still couldn't believe it when he thought about how it felt like he had finished flying in the blink of an eye and then stepped off the plane without any changes.

"Lao Yu!!"

"Eh? Lao Mao!"

When Yu Sannong turned around, he saw Mr. Mao in military uniform. He was also an old comrade and an honorary general. Old Yu was not surprised that he was here. But now he was standing here.

"Tell me, what is going on?" Yu Sannong was told by the staff to wait for the others. After all, Zigong where he is located is very close to Xichang, and the others are a little further away.

"Let me tell you the truth. This matter is all due to my son. You have been envious of me these past few months, saying that I would have the opportunity to fly on a spaceship in the future, so I ran to find my Yunxian..."

The propaganda of the Imperial Daily has made a lot of noise. Many people know that the Empire will select a group of people to board the ship and fly to the moon as the first batch of Earth-lunar passengers. Some people are inevitably very excited. But in Yu Sannong's view, Mr. Mao has something.

Those who have opportunities will inevitably envy him.

"Your son? Speaking of which, I met him when I was a child, and I don't even know what his name is. Yun Xian?" Yu Sannong asked curiously, what kind of son of Old Man Mao could be so powerful?

"Nuo, look, that's Yun Xian."

"Yunxian?" Old Yu turned around and saw a group of people approaching. The person in the middle was Chairman Zhang Shusheng, and the young man next to him was his secretary Mao Yunxian.

"You, you old man Mao, it's been so hard for you to hide this from me all these years." Yu Sannong suddenly realized, knowing that he had benefited this time. Mao Yunxian, who had been the chairman's secretary-general for many years, is now an important member of the empire.

"You must be Comrade Yu Sannong."

When Yu Sannong and Mr. Mao were talking, Zhang Shusheng actually walked over. Looking at the two people in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

"Chairman, how do you know me?" Yu Sannong asked strangely.

"Comrade Yu Sannong, do you still remember when you were hungry and gave away food to other children just to recruit more children from other areas?"

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile that in order to let the school recruit a few students from Guangdong, Yu Sannong would rather not eat beef and free up dormitories to recruit them. Later, Zhang Shusheng even went to see the situation. After all,

Back then, there were not as many things as now. When we found that this was indeed the case, we revised the regulations, began to accept students from other regions on a large scale, and allocated corresponding educational resources.

"How did the Chairman know this?" Yu Sannong was even more confused.

"Hahaha, it's all my fault. I wore a broken straw hat and said I was a member of the militia group. I chatted with you for a long time and even gave you a bowl of sweet potato rice. Hahaha... This time Yun Xian told me,

I specifically named you, but he didn’t go through the back door, haha..."

During the Southwest period, when he was making a fortune, Zhang Shusheng did many interesting things. They seemed inconspicuous at the time but later became good memories. In particular, he had a superhuman memory and could remember everything clearly.

"So that's it, you are the Xiao Zhang who liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potato rice back then." Yu Sannong slapped his thigh and suddenly realized that no wonder, after chatting with that young man, the policy of the militia changed.

It was actually the chairman of the committee who paid a private visit incognito. No, he was the leader of the militia group at the time.

"Let's go. We are old friends. This time, I will sit next to you."

Zhang Shusheng and his party walked to the launch site, and the on-site commander took off the cloth covering the spacecraft.

He had a very good impression of Sannong. In fact, he saw him when he went to Hanking to attend the National Day Ceremony. This is a man who has dedicated himself on the battlefield and devoted his whole life to education.

More importantly, Principal Yu is very similar to his principal in middle school in later generations. He loves students extremely and is dedicated to his work.

At that time, the principal asked him to eat meat every week and bought him clothes twice. He said that his clothes were too thin and affected his studies. He took great care of him. He continued to contact him for many years after graduation.

These people are often the real role models that students should learn from. They can influence dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people throughout their lives.

"Dad actually boarded the ship with the Chairman. He actually boarded the ship."

At Yu Sannong's house, the students and Yu Xiaoru's brother and sister were stunned, but the students were more happy that their beloved principal had actually received such a great honor.

The TV continued to broadcast live. The 100-meter-long and majestic spaceship in the picture revealed its true appearance. An anti-gravity magnetic staircase appeared and everyone climbed up. On Zhang Shusheng's right were Sun Changqing, Yu Sannong, and Mao Yunxian's father, Mr. Mao.

, on the left are the three ladies, who boarded the spacecraft together.

"Don't worry, everyone, this is just an ordinary flight. After a while, you just need to watch this big screen to see the real-time footage of us leaving the earth."

Zhang Shusheng stood up and comforted everyone, saying that he tried to make Chang'e's moon landing the most successful and natural space flight in order to give the people the greatest confidence and let them burst out with the strongest confidence in this nation and this country that they have ever had.

The best way is to let them see it with their own eyes, and let a small number of people personally participate in it.

There are more than 200 passengers in the entire spacecraft. Most of them are scientists, military officers, officials, invited people from all walks of life, and lucky people randomly selected by the old name Wanshe. Some are farmers, some are road construction workers, and some are even from Myanmar.

Anyone who is selected while sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast will become a lucky passenger.

The two-hour countdown is complete.

With everyone watching, the main engine of the Chang'e-class spacecraft began to start. The sound was not loud, but the heavy spacecraft floated into the air easily. At random, a stream of light passed by, and the spacecraft shot directly into the depths of the sky and disappeared.

"boom"

Such a picture that can only be seen in science fiction movies immediately shocked everyone in front of the TV. Yes, it is science fiction.

However, does anyone understand that the science and technology committees involved in the special effects production of several of the science fiction films currently released by Imperial Garden, and some of the materials used were even played by Imperial spaceships themselves? They are genuine.

It's not a special effect.

In the era when Zhang Shu was born, it was very difficult for a spacecraft to take off, but now this spacecraft truly possesses the take-off characteristics of those spacecraft of starry sky civilization, which is fast, quiet and safe.
To be continued...
