Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 314: Too Perfect Space Launch Site
This was not the first time that Hu Jiangshan brought people to visit Tenglong Island, so everything was already familiar to him.

The wide-body commuter boat docked at the pier, automatically connected, and everyone got off the boat one by one.

At this time, there were many clouds in the sky, like marshmallows, which just blocked the direct sunlight and the temperature was very comfortable.

The sea breeze blowing from Tenglong Bay is also very gentle, not as strong as that from ordinary outlying islands.

Everyone was amazed at the environment here, and even Xing Taichang took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery.

At this time, Yu Sheng came out from the dock control center and greeted Hu Jiangshan.

"Boss, you are here."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Are the commuter buses ready?"

"Ready, both commuter cars are in the parking area."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Okay, you go and get busy first."

Yusheng entered the control center again.

Now Yu Sheng and Awang are very busy on Tenglong Island, and their work is no easier than Zhang Rui and his friends.

Tenglong Bay is becoming more and more famous. If it weren’t for the inconvenient public transportation, it would have been packed with people long ago.

Even so, there are still many boats visiting Tenglong Bay every day.

Yu Sheng reported to Hu Jiangshan that one day, more than 30 ships came to Tenglong Bay.

Fortunately, they are all small and medium-sized yachts, otherwise it would be too much to handle.

Yu Sheng and Awang’s task is to keep an eye on the yachts on Tenglong Bay and not let them find a chance to go ashore.

Hu Jiangshan did not put too much pressure on Yu Sheng and A Wang. It didn't matter even if someone came up, as long as they didn't stay too long.

So far they have been doing a good job. Occasionally, small boats would approach the shore from other places, but they were driven away by the two of them in time.

At this time, Yuan Shuheng came over and said, "Brother Jiangshan, did you really buy this island?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, how is it? It's okay, right?"

"This, this is too good."

Yuan Shuheng looked at the surrounding environment. Such a big island is not a big deal. The key is Tenglong Bay. The ecological environment is so good. It is simply a Feng Shui treasure land.

It’s hard to imagine how much this island costs.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Shuheng, let them get in the car, let's go to the launch site."

Yuan Shuheng then came to his senses and quickly helped Hu Jiangshan to make arrangements. It's true that with him around, Hu Jiangshan saved a lot of trouble.

Hu Jiangshan asked Yusheng to arrange two electric commuter vehicles in advance, one for Hu Jiangshan and one for Yuan Shuheng.

Battery commuter vehicles are very easy to drive and you will have no problem driving them once you get a little familiarity with them.

Hu Jiangshan was in front and Yuan Shuheng was behind. They went at a relatively low speed, the fastest being only twenty miles per hour.

By driving so slowly, you can fully appreciate the scenery of Tenglong Bay.

Of course, the students were extremely excited.

Even in Hong Kong Island, there is no such beautiful view of the seaside highway.

“It’s so beautiful here!”

“I really like it!”

“I never thought there was such a beautiful island near Hong Kong Island.”

Cao Kai was silent for a moment. He thought it was just a deserted island, but he didn't expect that the island was so presentable and beautiful.

Soon, everyone discovered that the island was even bigger than they had imagined. After walking for twenty minutes, they still hadn't arrived.

A moment later, two electric commuter vehicles passed a small bridge and finally arrived at West Island.

The extinct volcano is right in front of us. Although it is not very high, it is quite spectacular.

While everyone was still talking about the volcano, the commuter bus started to go uphill, and after a few minutes, it stopped.

In front of me is a big door, a very big door, and the walls on both sides are also very high and very thick.

Whether it is a door or a wall, it is even impossible to tell what materials they are made of.

Obviously, only extremely important facilities will have such a configuration.

Yuan Shuheng asked: "Brother Jiangshan, is this the space launch site?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, it's here."

At this time, the door was closed.

Hu Jiangshan got out of the car and walked to a square box at the door.

The outer cover of the square box opened, revealing a screen inside, which was the access control system.

Zheng Lingfei and others were very nervous, wondering what the quality of the space launch site was like.

After a moment, the door opened.

However, it was not the main door that opened, but a small door on the side.

Even though it is a small door, a medium-sized truck can pass through.

Hu Jiangshan called Yuan Shuheng and they drove two electric commuter vehicles in together.

The scene inside is self-evident. As soon as they entered, everyone except Hu Jiangshan was stunned.

Because the scene before my eyes was truly shocking.

The space launch site is really huge and you can’t see the end of it at a glance.

Since it is a launch site, it is not just big, but the key is that the ground is paved with large stone slabs. It is very clean and there is almost no dust, let alone weeds.

Just looking at the build quality, you can imagine how high the cost is.

At this moment, Zheng Lingfei exclaimed and pointed into the distance.

When the others looked up, they were attracted by the towering launch pad.

"The launch pad! It looks very well finished."

"It's so high. How many meters does it look like? Hundreds of meters?"

Hu Jiangshan explained: "It's not that high. The design specification of this rocket launcher is 60 meters."

Zheng Lingfei asked: "Mr. Hu, can you go take a closer look?"

"Of course, let's go now."

Hu Jiangshan signaled Yuan Shuheng to start the commuter car and drive towards the rocket launch pad.

The closer they got to the shooting range, the quieter everyone became, until they were almost speechless.

Cao Kai was even more stunned and speechless.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this rocket launcher is of a very high quality in terms of shape, functional design and degree of completion.

Even if Cao Kai was convinced that Hu Jiangshan's technical capabilities were very poor, he had to admit after seeing this rocket launcher that it was impossible to build such a launcher without the necessary capabilities.

Zheng Lingfei and the others became more and more excited the more they watched.

It was the first time for them to see a real rocket launcher at such a close distance. They did not expect that although the launcher looked simple, it actually included a lot of electrical equipment.

Especially the thick lines, which are thicker than girls’ arms, which is amazing.

"Oh my god, the rocket launcher is so complicated."

“Today I really learned a lot.”

"It seems the workmanship is very good. I wonder how much it will cost." Xing Taichang recovered from his shock and quickly asked Hu Jiangshan: "Mr. Hu, can I take a photo?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Sure, you can take photos and record videos here."

When the others heard this, they suddenly realized something and took out their phones to take pictures or record videos.

This is a launch site, ordinary people can't enter, so we have to take pictures.

By now, almost everyone has no doubts about Hu Jiangshan, and even Cao Kai can't say anything.

Cao Kai majored in aerospace engineering, so he naturally had some knowledge of aerospace technology, including rocket launch pads.

Cao Kai was very clear about the technical content involved, which was why he was so shocked.

This is a fully functional launch pad equipped with a foldable protective shield, and it has the highest technical difficulty.

If someone had told Cao Kai before that a launch pad of this level actually appeared on an outlying island of Hong Kong Island, he would definitely have sneered, but now that this thing is right in front of him, he is speechless.

Hu Jiangshan looked at these people and was not surprised at their reactions.

Even Yuan Shuheng was stunned, with his mouth wide open and not closed for a long time.

It is estimated that it will take Yuan Shuheng a long time to digest and accept the reality.

At this time, Zheng Lingfei came up to Hu Jiangshan and asked him many questions, all of which were about the space launch site.

Hu Jiangshan answered them one by one, and his words were concise and clear so that Zheng Lingfei could understand them at once.

After all, Zheng Lingfei studied science and was very interested in all the facilities at the space launch site.

Zheng Lingfei asked: "Mr. Hu, does the space launch site also have facilities such as a command center?"

"Yes, it's over there."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan pointed to a building next to the mountain.

The building facility was so cleverly designed that it almost blended in with the extinct volcano. If you didn't look carefully, you would easily overlook it.

Zheng Lingfei's eyes lit up: "Mr. Hu, can we go and take a look?"

"Okay, I'll take you there when you've seen enough here."

Zheng Lingfei was very happy to hear this and immediately told others about it.

Soon, everyone got on the electric commuter bus and drove to the control center building.

Before entering, Hu Jiangshan said seriously: "Some important equipment inside cannot be photographed. I will give you reminders when the time comes, so please comply."

Everyone nodded quickly, indicating that they would comply.

Hu Jiangshan opened the door through the access control system and led everyone in.

Next, like a revolving lantern, Hu Jiangshan took everyone to visit the various facilities and functional rooms of the command center, which dazzled them and overwhelmed them.

This space launch site lives up to its name and is surprisingly well equipped.

Then, when Hu Jiangshan brought them into the main control room, everyone was stunned and so shocked that they couldn't even speak.

It was the first time for them to see the core area of ​​the rocket launch site with their own eyes, and all the equipment was very sophisticated.

Of course, you can’t take photos with the equipment here.

Everyone stayed in the main control room for nearly an hour, checking all the equipment before leaving.

After visiting the space launch site, Hu Jiangshan took them back to the wide-body commuter ship at the dock. Hu Jiangshan had asked Yusheng to prepare juice, fruits and light meals on the boat.

We walked around for more than two hours and indeed burned a lot of calories. After saying thank you, we started eating and drinking.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Today's tour ends here. Everyone has an impression of the space launch site. You can tell your classmates what you saw, or show them the photos and videos. I will give you contact information. If you are interested in working here, you can contact me and we will have a simple interview."

To put it simply, an interview is an interview.

Xing Taichang has said before that this is a two-way choice and it still requires an interview and both parties feel that it is suitable. Everyone understands this.

Zheng Lingfei asked: "Mr. Hu, I still have more than a year before graduation. Can I still work for you?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Of course, come here to work as an intern."

Zheng Lingfei's eyes lit up; this was the answer she wanted.

More than a year later, Ling Lingfei graduated and still wanted to pursue further studies, such as getting a doctorate.

Originally they were planning to continue their studies at foreign universities. The majors they studied would not be useful in Hong Kong after graduation, and it was not easy to get into graduate schools at mainland universities either. So the road was still very narrow, and if they wanted to have good development, it seemed they could only stay abroad.

The seniors before me basically took this path.

Now, Hong Kong Island actually has a space launch site, which is a great place to work.

In this way, people like Zheng Lingfei can continue their doctoral studies at the University of Hong Kong and work at the space launch site during their spare time.

Several others apparently had the same idea.

Cao Kai was very conflicted.

On the one hand, Cao Kai did not quite believe in China's aerospace technology capabilities, and still felt that it would be better to develop abroad and the road ahead would be smoother.

But on the other hand, the specifications of Hu Jiangshan’s space launch site are surprisingly high, and can even be said to be first-class on Blue Planet.

In particular, Cao Kai can see the various equipment in the main control room very clearly and they are very reliable.

Cao Kai still had many doubts. After all, most of the equipment had not been turned on, so he could only judge its function and level by its appearance. It was not certain whether it could be used.

Cao Kai also realized that the others had obviously been fooled.

And most people will be excited when they see photos and videos of the space launch site.

About an hour later, Hu Jiangshan sent these people back to the Island University of Hong Kong.

The students were already eager to take action, and when Hu Jiangshan left his contact information, they all wrote it down.

After Hu Jiangshan left, several students gathered together to chat.

Zhao Yuze asked: "What do you think? Do you think this space launch site is reliable?"

Several other people nodded.

"It's reliable. I think it's very reliable."

"Yeah, if I hadn't been to the space launch site, I would have thought it was unreliable. But after seeing it, I think it's too reliable."

"I feel that this launch site is very capable and can definitely be operated."

Zheng Lingfei said: "I have decided to contact Mr. Hu and talk to him. I really want this job."

Zhao Yuze turned his head and looked at Cao Kai, the only one who remained silent.

"What about you? Cao Kai, what do you think?"

Cao Kai sighed: "I don't think it's very reliable."

Everyone showed surprised expressions.

Zheng Lingfei asked: "Do you think there is something wrong with that space launch site?"

Cao Kai said: "I couldn't see what was wrong, so I suspected there was a problem."

"Well what does that mean?"

Cao Kai smiled slightly: "Is there anything perfect in the world? Of course not. The space launch site is such a complicated project, but there are no flaws. I studied aerospace engineering and I know that the equipment in the main control room is very critical. If it is not turned on, I have no idea whether the equipment can be used. What if it is just a showpiece?"

Everyone looked at each other. Although Cao Kai's words were unpleasant to hear, they were not completely unreasonable.

Cao Kai studied aerospace engineering, so he is naturally more knowledgeable about it.
