"You are here, come in first!"

"Hey, good!"

Later, Liu Cong and Lieutenant General Li Hu followed the old man to the office with a sense of time.

After the two sat down, the old man poured tea for Liu Cong and the others as before.

Because Liu Cong only knew him here, he could only come to him to ask some questions at the first time. Fortunately, the old man did not show any impatience, but was very patient.

"Grandpa Wu, how many people are here at this space base now?" Liu Cong asked.

After the old man sat down, he looked at Liu Cong, and then replied: "You have asked the right person. There are about 1,200 people here so far."

"There are five to six hundred people who are members of the Academy of Sciences, another five to six hundred who are staff, and one or two hundred who are support staff..."

After listening to the old man's story, Liu Cong had a preliminary understanding of the approximate number of people here.

Then he asked the old man who was in charge here now, but to Liu Cong's surprise, the old man pointed at himself.

"you!!"

"Yes, it's me."

The old man took a sip of tea calmly, then looked up at Liu Cong and Lieutenant General Li Hu.

"I'm surprised to see you! Can't an old man who sweeps floors be the person in charge of this space launch base project?"

After hearing what the old man said, the two of them were stunned for five seconds.

When Liu Cong looked at the old man again, he knew that the old man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

"Don't worry, this is just in name only. You are still in charge of scientific research and other aspects."

The old man took another sip of tea nonchalantly, put down the ancient teapot, and stood up slowly.

"Let's go, I'll show you the current scale of this place, and let you get to know the people easily. After doing this, my mission is completed."

Just like that, Liu Cong and Lieutenant General Li Hu got up and went out with the old man.

First, several people came to the rocket launch square.

At this time, many staff were inspecting equipment on the rocket launcher.

"The factory has not started yet, and you still need to make arrangements for everything that follows. Next, I will take you to the aviation office building to have a look. You haven't been there last time."

Then, the old man pointed to the sixth floor to the east.

"Okay, that's troublesome."

A few minutes later, several people arrived below the aviation office building. At this time, there were seven or eight soldiers guarding the building below.

This has not yet begun to be officially put into research and development, but it is so strict. If it really comes to that time, there will not be soldiers guarding everywhere.

When several soldiers saw the old man coming, they immediately let them in.

There are not many people on the first floor. It is similar to a coffee shop. It should have been a place for scientific researchers to rest.

Then, the three of them got on the elevator, and then the old man pressed the elevator to the sixth floor.

After arriving on the sixth floor, Liu Cong's first impression was that the sixth floor was very large and divided into many compartments, which might be different departments.

In this way, Liu Cong and Lieutenant General Li Hu followed the old man to the door of one of the rooms. The old man stood in front of the door, and then knocked gently on the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his fifties. When he saw the old man for the first time, he was very polite.

"Mr. Wu, you are here!"

"coming!"

The old man nodded, then pointed at Liu Cong behind him.

"This is the initiator of this project, Liu Cong, Academician Liu!"

"Academician Liu, this is academician Zhang Bin, academician Zhang of the Aerospace Academy."

When Academician Zhang in front of him heard that the young man in front of him was Liu Cong, his heart was already filled with waves.

Although he works on the front line of aerospace all year round, he has heard a lot about Liu Cong's recent deeds.

He has long wanted to meet Liu Cong in person.

"This must be Academician Zhang, the chief engineer of the Zhuque 2 manned spacecraft!"

After hearing this name, Liu Cong also heard it like thunder.

In the few days before coming here, Liu Cong was reading documents and making materials every day, and the document he saw the most was the academician Zhang Bin in front of him.

"Academician Liu, you know me!"

Academician Zhang Bin pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes, I have read the journal you published, and I was very benefited after reading it."

"Then I'm really flattered!"

The two of them just exchanged words with each other outside the door. This time they became familiar with each other.

"Academician Liu, I really admire you. When I first heard about your deeds, I thought it was a fabrication. After some research, I found out that it was actually true."

There is no trace of my admiration in Academician Zhang Bin’s words.

While talking, Liu Cong and others also came to the office of Academician Zhang Bin.

This is the master control room that the old man mentioned. The overall equipment is from the beginning of this century. If you just rely on these equipment, it will definitely not work. After all, there are too many algorithms designed in the project developed by Liu Cong this time.

However, Liu Cong has already informed the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they are now working hard to deliver these equipment as soon as possible.

"Academician Zhang, I have a piece of information here that I specially compiled, and I need you to take a look at it on the spot."

With that said, Liu Cong took out his computer from his backpack.

After opening it, Liu Cong clicked on the information. This was the result of Liu Cong's seven days and seven nights of preparation.

He comprehensively organized the information given to him by the system, and then got such an improved version.

At first, Academician Zhang Bin looked normal while watching, but his pupils widened even more when he saw it at the end.

"Rocket recovery plan? Do you want to engage in rocket recovery?"

Seeing the surprise on Academician Zhang Bin's face, Liu Cong nodded calmly.

"Yes, we did this by the way during the development of Starlink. After all, we have to launch so many satellites. If we develop a rocket for each satellite, the cost will be too high."

"What we can do now is to use one rocket multiple times, so as to ensure that we use the least funds to do the most efficient things."

Liu Cong was talking eloquently on the side, but Academician Zhang Bin on the side was very puzzled.

"Currently, there is no domestic company that can recycle the entire body of a rocket. Should we develop this next?"

"Yes, I have written this in the information! I just want to develop the rocket recovery project." Liu Cong said firmly.

"This! This! This is incredible. You actually want to do the same thing as that company in the United States!"

"They have been working on this project for more than ten years, and we are just starting now. Can we catch up?"

"Academician Liu, why do you want to study Starlink?"

Academician Zhang Bin looked at Liu Cong seriously.

"If I don't talk about this, I think you know it better than me. You also know what it means once Starlink is successfully developed!"

This sentence directly touched the heart of Academician Zhang Bin. He did know what it meant, but he was also powerless.
