Chapter 1623: Chapter 855 Satellite Launch Center_2

We’ve already planned ahead where to go next.

"Hmm?"

Huang Youjie perked up upon hearing this and started guessing: "Yue, could it be what I think it is?"

"That’s right, just as you guessed. Think about it, is there any other famous place along this route? Hahaha!" Ding Yue laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, Lin Zhirou, and his secretary Wen Ruohan, who were riding in Ding Yue’s car, looked completely puzzled. What on earth was Principal Ding talking about with Director Xu and Director Huang? Where exactly were they heading next?

"Principal Ding, where are we going next?"

Unable to hold back her curiosity, Zhang Yu directly asked Principal Ding.

"Hahaha, Zhang Yu, I know. Shall I tell you?"

Xu Bin’s voice chimed in again.

"Let me tell you instead,"

Ding Yue said with a smile, "Near the Hexi Corridor, there’s a key site related to Xia Country’s aerospace industry. I’m sure you all know about it, right?"

Since we’ve already arrived at the Hexi Corridor region, that particular place is definitely worth a visit.

In fact, Mist City Arts and Science University’s aerospace program has been thriving lately, with Feiyue Group establishing an aerospace department and forging close collaborations with the Space Administration.

Hence, Ding Yue planned to visit the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to take a look. Word had it that some aerospace students from Mist City Arts and Science University were working there as well.

Given the circumstances, as the principal, it’s all the more necessary for him to go and check things out.

"Oh, oh, I get it now. You’re talking about the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, right? I’ve heard that some of our Mist City Arts and Science University students work there too,"

Zhang Yu, a clever girl, immediately deduced from Principal Ding’s mention of a significant place connected to aerospace near the Hexi Corridor.

Without a second thought, it had to be the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

"That’s correct."

"Hahaha."

Amid the laughter of the group, three Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles headed toward the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Meanwhile...

While driving, Ding Yue specifically called Director Chen from the Space Administration to let him know about his intention to visit the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. His purpose was twofold: to check on the students from Mist City Arts and Science University and to discuss the university’s contributions to the future of the aerospace field.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen exclaimed, "Well then, this is perfect timing!"

The potential of Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Aerospace was immense—this was something Director Chen had long recognized. The talents cultivated by the university could positively impact the development of Xia Country’s aerospace industry, regardless of where they ended up.

"Great, Principal Ding, you’re more than welcome to visit the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Coincidentally, there’s a satellite launch scheduled here tomorrow, and I’ll be here as well. Isn’t that quite the coincidence?"

Director Chen said with a cheerful tone.

"Are you serious, Director Chen?"

Ding Yue thought Director Chen might be teasing him.

Could something this coincidental actually happen?

He had merely decided to take a spontaneous road trip, and now, passing through the Hexi Corridor, he planned to visit the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center—only to discover his old friend, Director Chen, was there too?

"Would I lie to you, Principal Ding?"

Director Chen replied calmly.

"Hahaha, well, that’s a delightful coincidence!" Ding Yue said happily.

Now that Director Chen was also at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, it was even more reason for him to go. After all, Director Chen was an old friend, and future collaborations between Mist City Arts and Science University, Feiyue Group, and the Space Administration would be inevitable in the aerospace domain.

Especially when Mist City Arts and Science University ultimately succeeded in developing nuclear-powered engines—there was no doubt the technology would contribute to aerospace applications.

"Alright, then I’ll be here waiting for you, Principal Ding."

"Sure!"

After hanging up, Ding Yue turned to Xu Bin and Huang Youjie with a grin and said, "Unexpectedly, we got a bonus surprise—Director Chen from the Space Administration is also at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Tomorrow, when we arrive, we even get to witness a rocket launch!"

"Is it Pang Wu?"

Xu Bin asked.

"I can’t say for sure; let’s check."

After saying this, Ding Yue directly instructed Big White, "Big White, check if tomorrow’s rocket launch at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center involves Pang Wu and the spacecraft for our space station."

"Yes, Principal. Tomorrow at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Pang Wu will launch. The event will be broadcast nationwide."

Big White replied.

As it turned out, it really was Pang Wu.

"Why is it called Pang Wu?"

Lin Zhirou asked curiously.

Not being very familiar with aerospace, she decided to ask to learn a bit more.

"Hahaha, because it’s genuinely big and bulky!"

Ding Yue laughed heartily as he explained.

The origin of Pang Wu’s nickname was exactly this—it was a heavy-lift transport rocket that played a crucial role in building Xia Country’s space station and other major launch activities. It was truly the crème de la crème among domestic aerospace rockets.

If Pang Wu could one day be equipped with Mist City Arts and Science University’s nuclear-powered engine, Xia Country’s space missions would become far easier and more efficient.

And if the nation’s space station could be fitted with a nuclear-powered engine in the future, it would mean instant liftoff. A direct "wuhu moment," as Ding Yue thought.

As he considered this, Ding Yue felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

On the way, Ding Yue, Zhang Yu, and Lin Zhirou chatted about Xia Country’s aerospace industry and the future of space technology. Before they knew it, they had arrived in Jiuquan.

Since the Pang Wu launch wasn’t until the following day,

Ding Yue first instructed his secretary Wen Ruohan to secure hotel arrangements for everyone so they could have a proper night’s rest.

Early the next morning,

Ding Yue and the group headed to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Because today’s rocket launch was quite significant for domestic aerospace, many people had come on-site to witness the Pang Wu launch.

After arriving at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Ding Yue contacted Director Chen.

Surprisingly, it was Director Chen himself who came to greet Ding Yue, which left Ding Yue somewhat astonished and delighted.

After all, Director Chen was the deputy head of the Space Administration—it seemed Mist City Arts and Science University held considerable weight in their eyes.

"Director Chen, we meet again!"

Ding Yue greeted Director Chen warmly.

"Principal Ding, did you all come specifically to watch the Pang Wu launch?" Director Chen asked with a smile.

"Ah, yes, that’s exactly right."

Ding Yue responded quickly.

He certainly wouldn’t admit that this trip was initially a spontaneous road trip and that he happened to decide to drop by and watch—it wouldn’t be very considerate to say that in front of Director Chen.

Even though that was indeed the truth. Until this visit, most of what Ding Yue and his companions knew about the Pang Wu launch was rather limited.

"Look at Yue—such quick thinking, such adaptability."

Huang Youjie whispered to Xu Bin.

Xu Bin nodded in agreement and replied, "Exactly. You just have to appreciate who he is."

With Director Chen leading the way, Ding Yue and his group were brought to the best spot for watching the rocket launch at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Since Director Chen had numerous responsibilities to attend to, he didn’t spend too much time chatting with Ding Yue for the moment. Ding Yue understood this and didn’t keep him from his duties.

Once Pang Wu’s launch was successfully completed, there would be plenty of time to sit down with Director Chen for a proper discussion.

About an hour later,

everything was finally prepared.

Pang Wu was ready to launch.

The crowd on-site, as well as viewers watching on television, eagerly awaited the moment.

Ding Yue stared at Pang Wu, musing about eventually upgrading its propulsion system. Although its engine was already highly capable, it still lagged behind those of other leading aerospace nations.

With Mist City Arts and Science University’s nuclear-powered engine, not only could the gap be closed, but Xia Country could surpass other aerospace giants, establishing the ideal aerospace engine!

"Ready for launch!"

With the command from the launch center, Pang Wu was about to ignite and take off, watched closely by all eyes present.
