Chapter 475 Return to the capital

"What is the purpose of your company, Ruida Aerospace, to build a manned spacecraft? Is it to build a space station, land on the moon, or land on Mars?" Professor Tang asked with some doubt. In his opinion, domestic private aerospace companies are similar to foreign private aerospace companies. Making money and pursuing maximum profits are their primary goals. Private aerospace companies will not participate in projects such as building a space station, exploring the moon, and exploring Mars, which require huge investments but have limited commercial benefits.

At this time, Qiao Ruida had already completed the docking of the manned spacecraft and the space station on the simulator. After submitting the task, he came over and happened to hear Professor Tang's question, so he interrupted and answered: "Our Ruida Aerospace has very ambitious goals. Building a commercial space station, landing on the moon, landing on Mars, and even building a lunar base, building a Mars base, and conducting space mining are all in our future plans."

Professor Tang looked at Qiao Ruida deeply and said, "Mr. Qiao, it seems that you have great ambitions in the space project! Have you ever thought that these projects require huge investments, often tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, while the profit prospects are very slim? Is it worth investing so much?"

"The Earth is the home of mankind, but it is not the future of mankind. Only by leaving the Earth and entering space can we have endless energy and endless resources, and can mankind usher in leaps and bounds in development. In the early stages of space exploration, it is normal that the technology is immature, the investment is huge, and the return is meager. But there are always some fools who don't care about gains and losses to do it, right? Otherwise, if you don't do it and I don't do it, how can mankind develop? And I am willing to be that fool, leading a group of like-minded partners to explore space, to open up a living space outside the Earth for mankind and the descendants of Yan and Huang."

These words were spoken by Qiao Ruida from the bottom of his heart. Ever since Qiao Ruida was reborn and returned to high school, and obtained the golden finger, he has been thinking about what the meaning of rebirth is, and how to spend this new life? Is it to be a rich man, marry a beautiful wife, raise a bunch of children, and live a dull life; is it to work hard to start a company, make a lot of money, support a bunch of mistresses, and live a life of drunkenness and debauchery; or to make full use of the advantages of rebirth foresight and the golden finger, start a company, set up a factory, and achieve a great career, and then on this basis, enter space, conquer the solar system, explore the Milky Way, greatly expand the living space of mankind, and become a pioneer of mankind into the universe. Obviously, Qiao Ruida chose the last way, which is also the most difficult way.

"Mr. Qiao, you have a very good idea. As the old saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. The earth is really too small. Nearly 10 billion people live on the earth, and the resources consumed every day are astronomical. The resources on the earth will be exhausted sooner or later. If human beings want to survive and develop for a long time, it is an inevitable choice to march into space, land on other planets, and obtain more resources and energy." Professor Tang gave Qiao Ruida a thumbs up and praised.

A month passed quickly in learning and training, and the first training session was declared over. In the final test, Qiao Ruida won first place with full marks in both the written test and the practical test. Even the second-placed student from the Chinese Academy of Sciences scored six points lower than Qiao Ruida. The six reserve astronauts who ranked at the bottom were directly eliminated. However, they were lucky because Ruida Aerospace was in need of people, so they were not kicked out directly, but transferred to the logistics department.

After the first training session, the class had two days off to relax the trainees. After the holiday, the second training session officially started. The trainees learned more advanced aerospace knowledge and trained in more complex and demanding projects. All the trainees were miserable. In order not to be eliminated, they had to grit their teeth and persevere. However, all this had little to do with Qiao Ruida, because he did not participate in the second training session, but drove back to Beijing.

When I went there, it was still autumn, and the grass and trees had just turned yellow. When I came back, it was already winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and the first snow had fallen in Beijing. Qiao Ruida drove the Ruida MPV, followed the traffic, and slowly traveled through the white streets of Beijing. It felt quite novel. Goose feather-like snowflakes fluttered down, landing on the roofs, treetops, car roofs, and roads, dyeing everything they touched white. Driving on the road, it was like entering a white world of ice and snow. Beijing is located in the north, but it is difficult to see a few snowflakes throughout the year. Snow scenes like this are really rare.

The Ruida MPV stopped and started until an hour later, when it finally returned to Shijia Hutong, the courtyard house belonging to Qiao Ruida.

After parking the car, Qiao Ruida opened the door, got out of the car, and shouted, "Honey, I'm back!"

As soon as the shouting stopped, the backyard was filled with the sounds of a door opening, running, and the crunching of feet on the snow. Ten seconds later, a figure in a red down jacket passed through the moon gate, came to the front yard, and ran straight towards Qiao Ruida. Look at that perfect figure, that beautiful face, and that elegant temperament. Isn't it Qiao Ruida's girlfriend Du Qingqing who he thinks about day and night?

Qiao Ruida opened his arms, went forward, and hugged his girlfriend directly into his arms. The two hugged each other tightly for more than ten seconds, and then changed to kissing, which lasted for several minutes. It was not until Du Qingqing was out of breath that they separated.

"Hubby, I haven't seen you for more than a month. I miss you so much." Du Qingqing lay in Qiao Ruida's arms and expressed her longing for him.

Qiao Ruida reached out and patted his girlfriend on the back, saying, "I miss you too. If I didn't have my phone with me so I could video chat with you every night to comfort my longing for you, I would have driven back a long time ago."

"Honey, have you lost weight? You can't even feel the fat on your belly anymore?"

"I'm not thinner, I'm stronger. You know, I received a month of astronaut training in the Space City. There is a lot of exercise every day, and the diet is very scientific. After a month of training, the knowledge I learned is hard to quantify, but the changes in my body are quite obvious. The original fat is gone, the muscles are more bulging, the lines are more perfect, and the strength and endurance are much greater."

"He's even developed eight-pack abs, that's amazing. Now that you said that, I want to join the astronaut training class and experience it for a while. Apart from other things, countless women are flocking to the training class just to lose weight and reshape their bodies." Du Qingqing lifted the hem of Qiao Ruida's clothes, reached her cold little hand in, touched his abdomen, and said in surprise.

"This is an astronaut training class, not a weight loss class. The investment cost is huge, so it cannot be open to the public."

Qiao Ruida let go of his girlfriend's hand, opened the trunk of the car, and began to move things out. In addition to the suitcases filled with clothes and daily necessities, there were also several large boxes of grassland specialties. The two worked together and moved everything twice before moving it into the backyard room.

"Isn't today the weekend? Why don't I see Xiaoxue? Is she not at home?" Qiao Ruida had been home for several minutes and had made quite a bit of noise, but he still hadn't seen his sister Qiao Ruixue show up, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Xiaoxue is only a freshman, and her schoolwork is very busy. She has no time to manage the company during the week. She only has time on weekends to go to Ruixue Interactive Entertainment to handle company affairs. Xiaoxue should be working in the company now, and will not be back until the evening. Husband, you haven't had lunch yet, I have prepared the meal in the kitchen, do you want to eat something now?"

"Let's talk about eating later. I want to eat you now!" After saying that, Qiao Ruida lowered his head and bent down, picked up his girlfriend, and walked towards the bedroom.

"Ah, what are you doing? It's broad daylight. How embarrassing!" Du Qingqing nestled in her boyfriend's arms, her little face flushed with shame.

"Love between men and women is natural. There's no need to be shy. Besides, I locked the door when we just came in, so no one will disturb us." Qiao Ruida put his girlfriend on the soft big bed and said softly.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. The two were both in their best age and full of energy. They kept tossing and turning until more than an hour later, when they finally calmed down. Du Qingqing lay in Qiao Ruida's arms and asked lazily, "Husband, are you participating in astronaut training and planning to take a spacecraft and go into space?"

Qiao Ruida stroked his girlfriend's long hair and said, "I have this plan. It has always been my dream to drive a spacecraft into space and break out of the solar system. Now that it is possible to realize it, of course I have to give it a try."

"Isn't it too dangerous to take a spaceship and a carrier rocket into space? I don't want you to take the risk."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much and will not take risks with it. Our Suzaku rocket is already quite mature and has been launched hundreds of times without a single failure. The manned spacecraft that has just been designed will also have to undergo multiple tests and corrections, and flight verification. Only after ensuring safety will it enter the manned test phase."

In fact, as a space transportation tool evolved from a missile, the launch vehicle is too dangerous for manned space flight, and the experience is not very good. The most ideal manned spaceflight tool is the space plane that frequently appears in some science fiction works. It takes off by sliding, lands by sliding, and lands in the air at a slow speed, with an excellent sense of physical sensation and the best safety factor. Qiao Ruida once tried to search for space planes on the future Internet, and there were many results, but most of them were things from science fiction novels or film and television works. There are basically no real space planes.

"When I have time in the future, I will also receive astronaut training. Then, I will go to space with you to experience the beauty and vastness of the universe and the starry sky." Du Qingqing looked into her boyfriend's eyes and said seriously.

"Well, space is one of the future development directions of mankind. It's not bad to go up there and experience it in advance. I support you."

After chatting for a while, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen to eat a big meal to replenish the calories they had just consumed. After eating and drinking, the two returned to the bedroom and took a nap.

"Sister-in-law, I saw a new Ruida MPV in the parking space in the front yard. Is my brother back?" Qiao Ruixue's voice sounded outside the bedroom door, waking Qiao Ruida from her sleep.

"Yes, your brother is back, and he is lying on the bed resting now." Du Qingqing's voice came from the direction of the kitchen. She should be preparing dinner for three people now.

"Really? That's great. I haven't seen my brother for a month and a half. I miss him terribly."

"Dinner is almost ready, Xiaoxue, go to the bedroom and wake up your brother."

"Bang, bang, bang, brother, are you up? Don't sleep any more, get up immediately. The sumptuous dinner is ready. All we need is you, so we can start eating."

"I know, I know. I'll get up right away." Qiao Ruida sat up, stretched, put on his clothes, went to the bathroom for a simple wash, and then came to the restaurant to accompany the two women for dinner.

Du Qingqing prepared a table full of food, with a combination of meat and vegetables, great presentation, and very good taste. The braised pork was shiny and tender, melting in the mouth; the steamed sea bass retained the original flavor of seafood, with a hint of freshness in the steaming heat; the roast duck had a crispy skin and tender meat inside, dipped in sweet noodle sauce and rolled in pancakes, it was delicious. Qiao Ruida and the other two picked up their chopsticks and ate a lot, easily finishing more than half of the dishes.

"Brother, I saw a piece of news online saying that your company, Ruida Aerospace, is training astronauts and planning to start manned spaceflight business. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I even received a month of astronaut training. How can I fake my personal experience?"

"Then do you have any plans to train female astronauts at Reda Aerospace?"

"At Ruida Aerospace, there is no gender distinction in astronaut training and selection. For example, there are eight female members participating in this training class. At the end of the first training, one girl was eliminated. There are currently seven female members left, and they are undergoing the second training. It is hard to say how many will be left in the end. Why, Xiaoxue, are you asking this? Do you want to drop out of school and become a female astronaut?"

"Forget it. I'm not interested in aerospace. It's a senior schoolmate I met in the club who has always had a dream of going into space. When she learned that Ruida Aerospace was recruiting astronauts, she came to me to inquire about the news." Qiao Ruixue shook her head and explained the details.

"Oh, senior sister, what major are you studying? What grade are you in? Have you received your diploma?"

"She is studying international trade and is a senior this year. Next semester, she will be able to do an internship at the new company."

"International trade? This major is almost useless after entering space. Unless we can meet peace-loving aliens and start trade with them, we will have the opportunity to use talents like your senior sister." (End of this chapter)
