As soon as Liu Cong and the others got off the helicopter, someone came to greet them.

This was an old man who was over seventy years old. When Liu Cong saw him at first sight, he felt that he was a very ordinary old man.

In addition, he was holding a broom in his hand, which made him look even more ordinary.

"Are you the ones Academician Shu said were coming today?"

"Come in and sit down!"

As he spoke, the old man leaned his broom under a nearby tree, and then led Liu Cong and the others ahead.

Since Liu Cong came down, his first impression here was like a paradise.

The aviation launch base is surrounded by forests, which can be said to be isolated from the world.

From the moment Liu Cong arrived at the base to the moment he entered, he didn't see anyone. The only thing he saw was a big black dog in the yard, and this dog looked very old.

"Everyone, come in!"

The old man in front waved to Liu Cong and the others. Upon seeing this, Liu Cong and the others hurried forward.

After entering the office, Liu Cong looked around the office. It can be said that the entire office was filled with the decoration style of the 1990s.

Enamel jars, old newspapers, and handmade old-fashioned wooden tables and chairs give the entire office a full sense of age.

This is the first time since Liu Cong came to this world that he has felt the living environment of his childhood in his memory.

"Sit down and I'll get you some tea!"

As he spoke, the old man took several enamel jars from the wooden cabinet on Liu Cong's left hand. These enamel jars were exactly the same as those in the old man's hands, with patterns engraved on them.

After a few minutes, cups of fragrant hot tea were brought to Liu Cong and the others.

"I heard from Academician Shu that you are here this time for the sake of this base."

"He called me last night and told me that I was still a little surprised that this site has been abandoned for so long, and there are still people coming here to do experiments."

"Young man, if I guess correctly, the young man Academician Shu talked about on the phone yesterday is you, right?"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Liu Cong curiously.

"Academician Shu told me to take good care of you. I really didn't expect that China would produce such a young academician!"

When the old man brought out Mr. Shu's name, Liu Cong vaguely felt that the old man in front of him was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

"Hello, old man, the young man on Academician Shu's phone is me. My name is Liu Cong!"

Liu Cong stood up politely and greeted the old man in front of him.

"Well, young people have a bright future!"

"You don't have to be so polite to me, I'm just an ordinary old man sweeping the floors and looking after you!"

As he spoke, the old man picked up the teapot in his hand and took a sip of tea.

Academician Sun and Lieutenant General Li Hu, who were sitting next to Liu Cong, also looked puzzled.

Judging from Academician Sun's expression, Liu Cong dared to conclude that he absolutely did not recognize the old man in front of him.

"Grandpa, what's your name?" Liu Cong asked.

"My name is Wu Jianguo, you can call me Lao Wu!"

The old man in front of me is also very straightforward.

"If you don't dare, then I will call you Grandpa Wu from now on."

"Whatever you want, just don't call me by my full name."

The old man's demeanor was very natural, even though the three people opposite him were all prominent people.

"Have you finished your tea?"

"After you finish drinking, I will take you to see this space launch base."

Hearing what the old man said, the three of them put down the enamel jar in their hands in tacit agreement.

"Hey! Okay, then Grandpa Wu, I'll trouble you!"

Just like that, four people and one dog left the small yard.

After leaving the yard, there is an entire open space. There is a launch pad on the east and west sides of the open space. These two launch pads were also left over from more than ten or twenty years ago.

"Did you see that the two in front are the launch pads for launching rockets? Although they are a bit old, fortunately, people still come here every year to maintain them, so they can still be used."

Liu Cong looked at these two huge launchers and felt as if they were new. The launchers had six characters written on them: Huaxia Aerospace.

"Have you seen the factory building behind you? This is where rocket parts used to be produced. Since no one has used it for too long, a lot of weeds have grown there."

"But just find someone to clean it up when the time comes."

"The area to the north is where we stay."

Listening to the old man's introduction, Liu Cong and others turned around and saw a row of red brick houses to the north.

"Let's go! I'll take you to take a closer look at the launch device in front."

After saying that, the old man walked forward with light steps.

Seeing this, Liu Cong and the other three followed closely.

Although the old man in front is old, judging from the pace of his walking, he doesn't look like a person of this age at all.

A few minutes later, Liu Cong and the others came under the rocket launcher. From a distance, Liu Cong felt that it was not too big, but up close, Liu Cong felt that it was very big.

The launch pad alone is about ten meters high.

Liu Cong looked at the launch pad in front of him and couldn't help but feel a hint of respect in his heart.

Without the day and night research of scientists, China would not have the outstanding aerospace industry it currently has.

"Come on, I'll take you to the factory at the back."

This time, Liu Cong and the others followed the old man's footsteps and arrived at the factory about 500 meters away from the launch pad.

This factory is very large. As you can see, there are six workshops in total.

Although there is a cement floor in the middle of the road, it is now cracked and overgrown with weeds.

The old man broke off a withered piece of basil with his hands, and then swept the weeds around him.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

In this way, with the old man taking the lead, several people continued to go in deeper.

Liu Cong nodded secretly while looking at it. This place is bigger than what Academician Shu said.

Counting the launch site just now, it is about two kilometers long and vertical.

Taking the factory and residential buildings with him, Liu Cong estimated that the factory initially had an area of ​​60,000 to 70,000 square meters.

After some inspection, it was noon.

Liu Cong did not stay here to eat, but took the helicopter back the same way.

Soon, the place will become more and more lively, because the renovation team is now on the way.

In just a few days, this space launch base can be officially put into use.

After returning to school, Liu Cong went to the cafeteria for lunch as soon as possible.

Then he returned to the apartment, took the prepared USB flash drive, and drove to Jingwei Company, which is 20 to 30 kilometers away from Huaqing University.

Twenty or thirty minutes later, Liu Cong arrived at the door of the company.

Before this, before setting off, Liu Cong had informed Jiang Wanying that he was coming over today.

Therefore, she waited for her at the company door early.

After seeing Liu Cong coming, Jiang Wanying asked the guard to open the door immediately.

After Liu Cong saw such a scene, he secretly lamented that even though he, the chairman, did not have the right to speak among the vice-chairmen, the guards did not recognize him at all.

Five minutes later, Jiang Wanying brought Liu Cong to her office.

After sitting down, Liu Cong took out the USB flash drive from his wallet.

"This is the main framework of the currency trading system. This information is very important and must not be leaked to the outside world."
