Chapter 165 This Will Be a New Milestone
When Ms. Liang Yanli saw the girl next to her son, her face immediately filled with smiles and she couldn't take her eyes off her.

She was already very happy that her son had found a Qinghua graduate student, but she didn't expect that she was so beautiful in real life. She was so excited that she immediately stepped forward and held Chen Yuran's hand to show her concern.

"You must be Yu Ran. It's cold outside. Let's go home first."

Xu Jianguo, who was following behind, smiled and said to Xu Yuan: "Your mother was anxious to see someone and insisted on bringing us here to pick you up."

Although Chen Yuran was not used to this enthusiasm at this moment, she did not forget to greet politely.

"Hello Auntie."

After saying that, he called Xu Jianguo "Uncle" again, and then his gaze remained on Xu Ying beside him.

She called out in the same sweet voice: "Sister Yingying."

Hearing this, Liang Yanli was really worried that Chen Yuran would be cold. She smiled and responded, then wanted to pull her to the car.

Chen Yuran remembered that she hadn't bought any gifts yet, so she could only look at Xu Yuan for help.

Xu Yuan was watching this scene and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had no choice but to take the initiative to mention it.

"Yu Ran and I were originally planning to buy gifts after getting off the bus, but we didn't expect you to be waiting at the station in advance. How about Yu Ran and I go to a nearby shopping mall first before going home."

"Yes, Auntie, I haven't had time to buy you gifts yet." Chen Yuran quickly took over the conversation and agreed.

After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Xu Yuan.

If I had known the situation would be so awkward, I should have bought things in Yanjing before coming here.

Even if it takes a little effort on the car, it will be better than the current situation.

However, Liang Yanli and Xu Jianguo naturally did not talk about these things.

Liang Yanli replied without any hesitation, "We have everything we need for the New Year. It's enough to have this thought. You should go home and have some tea to warm yourself up." She didn't stop walking while speaking.

I couldn't even let go of my hands.

I was afraid that such a satisfactory daughter-in-law would run away.

"Just listen to your mother. There's so much food at home that we can't finish it all." Xu Jianguo said to Xu Yuan with a smile.

At this time, Xu Ying also hurriedly pulled Chen Yuran's arm, and the two of them communicated in a very harmonious voice.

Xu Yuan was naturally familiar with his parents' personalities, so he stopped insisting after hearing this.

"Then Yu Ran, let's go home first."

Chen Yuran nodded and agreed. Perhaps she was infected by the relaxed atmosphere and was no longer nervous.

On the way back, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered a problem.

It's like I suddenly became transparent.

Before, every time he went home, the whole family's attention was on him, but now the situation has changed.

By the time he returned home, the number of words his parents and sister had spoken to him could be counted on one hand.

However, the smile on Chen Yuran's face never disappeared. When she secretly looked at Xu Yuan, she couldn't help but reveal a smug little expression, as if to say, look, now the situation is reversed.

When Xu Yuan went to Chen Yuran's house, Chen Jianfang and Su Meihong both favored him as their future son-in-law.

Now he was able to experience what Chen Yuran was like before.

I have to say that Chen Yuran is indeed very popular with the whole family, and they get along very harmoniously during the New Year holidays.

When Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran were about to return to Yanjing just after the Spring Festival, Ms. Liang Yanli and Xu Jianguo were reluctant to let them go.

But since it was something that had been planned in advance, Xu Yuan couldn't stay at home for too long.

So on the second day of the New Year, he took the train to send Chen Yuran home.

-

Entering March.

Because the launch time of the Chang'e-1 lunar probe has been officially confirmed, news reports have begun to appear online.

As this is the first launch of a lunar exploration satellite, the Chinese people are naturally very excited.

When I enter the forum community that I often use, I can see many comments under the relevant posts wishing the Chang'e-1 launch a complete success. I am very much looking forward to the launch this month.

If Chang'e-1 can successfully orbit the moon, it will mark the third milestone in China's space program.

Become one of the few countries in the world with deep space exploration capabilities.

There is no doubt that the launch of Chang'e-1 is a relatively important lunar exploration project even in the world.

When the news spread overseas, naturally the media also reported it.

However, many people are not optimistic about this lunar exploration, believing that the success rate of this first lunar exploration without any experience is very low.

Among them, AFP said that the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite needs to accumulate more experience before it can succeed.

Although so far only ESA's lunar exploration was successful for the first time.

Moreover, in the more than 100 lunar exploration activities carried out by humans, the success rate is less than 50%.

But the Chinese people are full of confidence in Chang'e-1.

After the relevant reports were spread back to China, many netizens started heated discussions on the matter.

"We have achieved two milestones in space travel, and I believe the third one will be no problem."

"I wish Chang'e-1's lunar exploration a complete success."

"If people overseas think we can't do something, then we have to do it to show them."

“Miracles are meant to be created.”

"The moon is Chang'e's home. How can we fail when we return to our own home?"

"It's better not to be too confident. After all, there has only been one successful launch of a lunar exploration satellite. If it fails, it will be a disaster."

... "Chang'e-1 will surely be able to successfully orbit the moon. How can we not have confidence in our own scientific researchers?"

In the male dormitory of Zijing Apartment of Qinghua University, Li Zhenya slammed the table while looking at the computer screen and muttered angrily.

These days he has also been paying close attention to the launch of Chang'e 1, and even slowed down the progress of his graduation thesis because of it.

After all, as a student of Qinghua University, I certainly hope to see the country achieve great success in the aerospace field.

Today, he searched for new information about Chang'e-1 as usual, and saw a debate online due to overseas reports. Some people believed that the success rate of the first launch of a lunar exploration satellite was indeed not high, but more netizens chose to believe the researchers at the Space Technology Research Institute.

We are full of confidence and expectation for the launch of Chang'e-1.

The next second, Wang Haitao, who was lying on the desk not far away, suddenly thought of something, turned around and added a sentence.

"I remember that Brother Yuan went to the Space Technology Research Institute before and seemed to have helped out there. I wonder if he has any inside information and if he can tell us about it."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted Li Zhenya's attention.

"I had forgotten all about it."

As he said this, he immediately looked at Xu Yuan, and even Liu Yang, who was writing his graduation thesis, became interested.

Xu Yuan has not paid much attention to Chang'e-1 in the past few days since he returned to school. Of course, this is not because he underestimates Chang'e-1, but because he is too confident that Chang'e-1 will be able to successfully carry out lunar exploration.

He was involved in the orbital design calculations and thermal control system of this project.

Chen Jianfang had mentioned this matter to him several times, but he always asked him to participate in the command of the Chang'e-1 launch.

Naturally, he agreed to this.

But there are still a few days before the launch, so there is no need to rush.

Hearing Wang Haitao's words and meeting the curious gazes of the three people, he thought for a moment before giving an answer.

"The technology and orbital design used by Chang'e-1 are very mature and have passed experimental verification, so I think there should be no problems with this launch."

Li Zhenya was surprised when he heard this, and immediately took over the conversation and echoed the previous sentence.

"I knew it would be okay."

After saying this, he turned his attention back to the paper and temporarily stopped paying attention to the detection satellite.

Two days passed quickly.

As the official launch time of Chang'e-1 approached, Xu Yuan also rushed there that day.

However, this time we went not to the Space Technology Research Institute, but to the Yanjing Aerospace Flight Control Center.

The Space Flight Control Center is the command, dispatch, flight control, analysis, calculation, data processing and information exchange center for aerospace engineering missions.

It will also be responsible for the flight control and long-term management of the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite.

Saturday, March 2007, 3, Yenching Aerospace Flight Control Center.

Since this was Xu Yuan's first time here and he was not very familiar with the situation and layout inside, Chen Jianfang specially sent Xiao Xinbin to pick him up.

"Junior Brother Xu."

"Professor Chen is in the control center lobby right now. I'll take you there."

As soon as Xiao Xinbin met Xu Yuan downstairs, he greeted him enthusiastically and led the way.

As a member of the lunar exploration satellite project of the Academy of Space Technology, everyone knows the contribution Xu Yuan has made to this project.

It can be said that if it were not for Xu Yuan, Chang'e-1 would never have been launched ahead of schedule today.

Therefore, no matter what the situation was, Xiao Xinbin would be very polite to Xu Yuan and admire him from the bottom of his heart.

"Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother Xiao."

Xu Yuan did not waste time at this time. He nodded and responded to Xiao Xinbin, then followed him to the hall of the flight control center.

On the road, you can see many dispatching engineers wearing uniform clothes, walking hurriedly and looking very busy.

But in today's situation, it is normal.

After all, ensuring the successful launch of Chang'e-1 and its successful entry into the lunar orbit after multiple orbit changes is also a big challenge for the personnel in the control center.

You have to concentrate and give it your all. There is no room for slacking off or being careless.

Not long after.

Under the guidance of Xiao Xinbin, Xu Yuan finally walked into the control center hall.

Looking around, the first thing that comes into view is the screen that almost fills the entire wall in front of you.

Below the stage are four long rows of operating consoles, where many dispatchers and engineering personnel sit.

Soon Xu Yuan found Chen Jianfang and Gao Duo, the two main project leaders.

"Xiao Yuan is here."

"Professor Chen."

Xu Yuan approached and immediately greeted Chen Jianfang, then looked at Gao Duo next to him.

The rocket carrying the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite is currently at the launch center, waiting to ignite and take off. Since the specific time is set at around 6 o'clock in the evening, it is not particularly busy at this time.

So Chen Jianfang asked Xu Yuan a question.

"Have you read the overseas reports on our Chang'e 1? Tell me what you think now?"

Xu Yuan didn't think too much after hearing this and directly spoke to Chen Jianfang.

"I have every confidence in our project. The success of Chang'e-1's lunar exploration is inevitable."
