Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 313 Visiting the Space Launch Site

Zheng Lingfei suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's called Tenglong Island!"

Since Hu Jiangshan came to the Island University of Hong Kong to recruit workers, he naturally couldn't hide anything, and there was nothing to hide in this matter.

If the space launch site enters the operation stage in the future, even if it is just trial operation, everyone in Hong Kong Island will know about the launch site.

Such a facility cannot be hidden and is likely to become a distinctive attraction of Hong Kong Island.

This is also the reason why Hu Jiangshan insisted on turning Tenglong Island and the surrounding waters into a restricted zone.

By then, there will definitely be a large number of ships coming, not only private yachts of the rich, but also a large number of cruise ships.

If they are allowed to stay in Tenglong Bay at will, even if they are not allowed to go to the island, it will cause great trouble to the environment and communication.

Moreover, launching a rocket at a launch site has a probability of failure and is dangerous. If a major accident occurs, Hu Jiangshan will be held responsible.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan's words still shocked everyone present.

Yuan Shuheng was not much better off. Although Hu Jiangshan had mentioned it to him yesterday, he still found it unbelievable and unbelievable.

If it were in the past, Yuan Shuheng would never have believed it, and it stands to reason that he wouldn't believe it now either.

But the problem is that Hu Jiangshan is standing here, and Director Xing Taichang is sitting next to him.

This is no joke. Yuan Shuheng had to believe that his cousin Hu Jiangshan had really accomplished something.

But Yuan Shuheng really couldn't guess to what extent.

Yesterday Hu Jiangshan said that he could take Yuan Shuheng to the space launch site to see it in person, and Yuan Shuheng was looking forward to it.

At this time, several students were very surprised. They looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Hu Jiangshan smiled: "Do you have any other questions?"

Cao Kai asked, "I want to know if your space launch site has just been built? How many years will it take to complete?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "It has been built now. If it had not been built, I would not be so anxious to come here to recruit workers."

“…Ah? It’s a lie, isn’t it?”

Xing Taichang glared at Cao Kai, obviously blaming him for being impolite.

Cao Kai quickly asked: "Is it so easy to build a space launch site? Doesn't it require approval from relevant departments?"

Hu Jiangshan coughed lightly and said, "Since the launch site has been built, it must have been approved by the relevant departments. We have also obtained formal authorization from the National Space Administration to officially operate the launch site."

Hu Jiangshan's words completely shocked everyone present.

Xing Taichang also glanced at Hu Jiangshan with a surprised expression.

Xing Taichang certainly knew that Hu Jiangshan had the endorsement of the National Space Administration, and he also knew that Hu Jiangshan planned to build a space launch site.

But there is one thing that Xing Taichang feels is that this is a difficult thing to do. There are almost no conditions to build such facilities in a place like Hong Kong Island, and there is no successful precedent.

Xing Taichang did not expect that Hu Jiangshan’s space launch site had already been built and could even be operated directly.

This means one thing, if all goes well, Hong Kong Island will soon have its own aerospace industry.

If there is a rocket launch site by then, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout Hong Kong Island.

That scene...I really don’t dare to imagine it.

However, no one can tell whether there is any truth in Hu Jiangshan's words. Only by going to the scene can we know the actual situation.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Since the team has not yet been formed, I am in urgent need of relevant talents. If you are interested, please contact me and we can discuss ideas in depth."

Several students were speechless for a moment, not knowing whether they should believe Hu Jiangshan's words.

If what Hu Jiangshan said is true, it means that he can work locally in Hong Kong Island and does not need to go far away, or even go abroad.

The question now is, is what Hu Jiangshan said true?

Anyone who is rational and has good judgment will think that this matter is not very reliable.

And now Hu Jiangshan is just making oral statements and has not produced any evidence at all.

At least there should be photos, pictures, or video materials.

Let everyone have a direct impression of what a space launch site is.

Zheng Lingfei couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Hu, can we go to the scene to take a look?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but give Zheng Lingfei a thumbs up.

This is a good request. Whether there is material and how much material there is will be clear if we go to the so-called launch site.

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Of course there is no problem with this. Words are not enough. If you want us to be convinced, you must take you to the scene to see it."

Hu Jiangshan turned to Xing Taichang and said, "Director Xing, is it convenient today? Can you let the students come with me to visit the launch site?"

“…Ah? Today?”

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "If it can be arranged, it can be done today. If Director Xing is worried, of course he can go with us."

The others widened their eyes. It would have been fine if Hu Jiangshan had agreed so readily, but he actually arranged for them to go to the scene right away. This was too efficient.

To put it bluntly, Hu Jiangshan is too confident.

After Xing Taichang was stunned, he quickly asked the students: "Do you have classes now? Do you have anything else to do?"

Several students shook their heads almost at the same time, indicating that they had nothing to do and could leave immediately.

Xing Taichang said to Hu Jiangshan: "Mr. Hu, there should be no problem today, but isn't it too rushed?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, don't rush. It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's do it today."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan really started to arrange the itinerary.

Hu Jiangshan took out his cell phone and contacted a suitable vehicle first.

Hu Jiangshan was also prepared in advance.

A regular seven-seater car definitely can’t accommodate all these people, so we still have to find a minibus.

This is easy to do. Just borrow a car from Quanzhong Group. You can also borrow the driver together. It is very convenient.

This is not the first time Hu Jiangshan has done this. Anyway, this is the Hu family's company and Hu Wenxin is the boss, so borrowing a car is a matter of minutes.

Given Hu Jiangshan's current performance, Hu Wenxin would not be unhappy.

Soon, the minibus was arranged, and Hu Jiangshan called Yusheng again, asking them to drive a wide-body commuter boat to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier and have someone clean it up as soon as possible.

Everyone watched Hu Jiangshan arrange everything in an orderly manner, and all that was left was to wait.

Several students were whispering and talking.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect I could go and see it today."

"This shows that Boss Hu is very confident and is not afraid of being watched." Cao Kai said: "But do you really think it is so easy to build a space launch site? Even if everything goes well, I think it will take at least four or five years to be put into operation."

In addition, someone else said: "He may have been preparing for it a long time ago and started building a space launch site a few years ago."

"A few years ago... But a few years ago, SpaceX hadn't even taken off yet."

After much discussion, there is still no conclusion to this matter. No one knows what is going on except Hu Jiangshan, and everyone is just chatting and guessing.

But looking at Hu Jiangshan's expression, he was really serious and really wanted to take them to the space launch site. He had no intention of fooling around at all.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan received a call that the minibus he had just arranged had arrived at the main entrance of the Island University of Hong Kong.

Hu Jiangshan immediately asked everyone to go out.

Yuan Shuheng also helped with the arrangements, and everything was in perfect order.

Hu Jiangshan planned to take these people to Tenglong Island for a thorough tour and see the specifications of the space launch site with their own eyes, so as to dispel their doubts.

Although there were only a few students, they were equivalent to student representatives and could report what they saw to other students.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan did not intend to restrict them from taking photos and videos. He let them do whatever they wanted. As long as they did not take pictures of the precision equipment data, there was no other secret at all.

Of course, not all of these students meet the requirements, so Hu Jiangshan still has to screen them carefully.

It is not enough to have strong professional ability, personal character and quality are also very important.

After all, a space launch site is not an ordinary facility. When it officially enters the operation phase, some things will definitely be confidential.

If they are unreliable, you must never let them in, otherwise you will be in big trouble.

Xing Taichang was still a little worried, so he called another colleague and decided to go with him.

Otherwise, if something really happens to these students, the school will have to take responsibility.

A moment later, everyone took a minibus and arrived at the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier.

The students were of course very excited. Although they all came from well-off families, it was rare for them to go out to sea, and it felt like a trip.

Moreover, the ship arranged by Hu Jiangshan was very large and spacious, clean and tidy, and very new. The interior decoration was also very good. It was much more comfortable than ordinary cruise ships.

However, everyone understood that this was Hu Jiangshan, a rich second-generation from Hong Kong Island, so it was normal for him to arrange such a large ship. There was nothing strange about it.

Everyone got on the boat, and Hu Jiangshan signaled to the first mate to start the engine and start the boat.

The wide-body commuter boat slowly sailed out of the yacht club pier and sailed steadily on the sea.

Several students gathered on the second-floor deck, enjoying the sea view and chatting.

"It's so good to be rich. No wonder everyone wants to be rich. They can easily arrange such a big ship."

"This boat has a unique shape. I've never seen a boat like this before. Is it a yacht?"

"This is not a yacht design, it's more like a cruise ship."

"Wow! This boat is awesome. I was worried about getting seasick, but it's so stable. I didn't feel anything at all. It's like we're on flat ground.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that it's really good to be rich, you can have whatever you want.

Cao Kai said: "These ships and other things are just drizzle. I didn't expect the Hu family to be so wealthy that he could squander them at will."

It is obvious that Cao Kai is not optimistic about Hu Jiangshan.

Cao Kai felt that even if Hu Jiangshan entered the aerospace industry and really built a space launch site, it was still unclear whether it could be put into operation.

Although the China National Space Administration seemed to have spared no effort in endorsing Hu Jiangshan, Cao Kai had always looked down upon these state departments, believing that as long as they were given enough benefits, they could endorse anyone or any company, including some uneducated young men.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Jiangshan was somewhat famous at the University of Hong Kong Island, and many people knew him. Although the incident had happened a long time ago, students sometimes still made fun of him.

Cao Kai couldn't believe that Hu Jiangshan had suddenly become the boss of a space launch site.

The reason why Cao Kai followed here was that he wanted to see what the so-called space launch site was and to see how outrageous Hu Jiangshan could be.

At this time, Zhao Yuze said: "By the way, I wonder if we can take photos or videos after entering the launch site."

Zheng Lingfei said: "That shouldn't be allowed. The launch site is such a special facility that people can't just take pictures casually."

Cao Kai smiled and said, "Boss Hu didn't say we couldn't take pictures. If we don't take pictures, how can we introduce the launch site to other students? We can't just talk about it, that would be too pale."

As he was saying this, someone suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, there's land! Is that an island?"

Everyone looked in the direction the man pointed and indeed found a piece of land.

That is an island, and judging from the distance, the island is not small, at least a medium to large island.

As the distance quickly shortened, everyone was immediately attracted by the sight of the island.

The island is really special, it is arc-shaped, like a moon.

Although there doesn't seem to be much vegetation on the island, the terrain is very rich, and there even seems to be a volcano at the other end of the island.

Then, everyone naturally discovered a large iron frame next to the volcano.

Everyone can see more and more clearly.

There were students majoring in aerospace engineering among the student representatives, such as Cao Kai. He was stunned when he saw it. He thought that the iron frame must be a launch pad!
Others also exclaimed in amazement.

"Look, look, isn't that a launch pad? A rocket launch pad!"

"It really is. It looks quite big and tall."

"It looks quite realistic from a distance. I wonder if this launch pad can be used now."

"Didn't they say that the space launch site has been built, and all that's missing is the operators?"

Cao Kai smiled faintly: "They believe such words, they are so naive."

A moment later, the wide-body commuter ship had entered Tenglong Bay.

How could the students resist the beauty of Tenglong Bay? They all stared at it in amazement, and then they started shouting and exclaiming in admiration.

"Oh my god, there is such a place in Hong Kong Island. This is really an eye-opener for me."

"What a beautiful bay! It's like a paradise on earth."

Zheng Lingfei also said: "No wonder many rich people have been saying that Tenglong Island is beautiful recently. I didn't expect it to be so good."

Not to mention others, even Yuan Shuheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the island his cousin bought would be in such a state.

The best of the best!

Tenglong Bay is still very popular, with more than twenty yachts parked or moving slowly in the bay.

Their cheers can still be heard from here.

Hu Jiangshan signaled to the first mate to approach the dock along the edge, and then the water boom was lowered and the wide-body commuter ship successfully docked.
