Chapter 735 Keep It as a Cultural Relic

Shangjing City.

In the majestic Great Hall of the People, more than 3,000 seats were packed.

Most of the people sitting here are scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Engineering, senior officials from departments related to the manned moon landing program, and representatives from all walks of life. Everyone sitting here has only one purpose, and that is to send the warmest applause and the most sincere blessings to the heroes in the manned moon landing program.

In the host's solemn opening remarks and warm applause, the Manned Moon Landing Project Commendation Conference officially kicked off. Amid applause, an old man with a dignified face stepped onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone.

The applause gradually died down.

The old man paused, and spoke slowly in a solemn and steady voice.

"Fifty-one years ago, our 'Dongfanghong-1' was successfully launched into space. This is our first satellite and the first milestone in our aerospace history."

"Eighteen years ago, our manned spaceship Shenzhou 5 was successfully launched, becoming the third country in the world to master manned spaceflight technology, ahead of the Europeans... At the same time, this is also a milestone in the history of our spaceflight. Second milestone."

There was a solemn silence in the Great Hall.

After a pause, the old man spoke slowly and continued.

"Now, we have landed on the moon and become the second country to master the technology of manned moon landing after the Apollo program! This will be the third milestone in our aerospace history, and this battle, there is no doubt The land can be described as a complete victory!"

"Here, on behalf of the people of the whole country, please allow me to say to the vast number of scientific and technological workers who have made outstanding contributions to my country's manned spaceflight, and all comrades involved in the development, construction and testing of manned spaceflight projects, you have worked hard! "

Thunderous applause spread like a tide, filling the entire hall in an instant.

The old man nodded and gave up the speaking position to the meeting host.

The conference quickly entered the next link.

Looking at the three astronauts who came to the stage to accept the medal, and Academician Yuan Huanmin, the chief engineer of China Aerospace Corporation, who was sitting in the audience, there was indescribable emotion in his eyes.

The past six months have been like a dream.

He never thought that he could see this day in his lifetime, and he never thought that the electric propulsion system proposed by Lu Zhou could really be realized. Looking at everything in front of him now, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or regretful.

Sitting next to him, Academician Wu Kang, chief engineer of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute, sighed softly.

"That guy is really good."

Yuan Huanmin looked sideways slightly.

"you are right……"

"Besides that Professor Lu, who else could it be?" Academician Wu smiled and continued, "Back then, the Bureau of Science and Industry called the Air Force Equipment Department, and Minister Qin of the Air Force Equipment Department called me again, saying that someone The aerospace plane propelled by Taipower came out, but there was a problem with the funding, and it was necessary to ask me to help him as a staff officer. Is this reliable... Guess what I said in the first sentence?"

Yuan Huanmin: "I'm not you, how could I guess."

Academician Wu stared, imitating the tone of the time, and said vividly: "I said hurry up and call the police and arrest this person! He cheated money and tricked us into the Air Force Equipment Department. Detain him for fifteen days to make him sober!"

Guessing who that person was, Yuan Huanmin felt a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, it has something to do with him.

Although from his standpoint, what he did was right, but some things cannot be simply measured by right or wrong.

"It's thanks to you not detaining that person."

"Haha, I can't catch him," Academician Wu waved his hands, shook his head and said with a smile, "Minister Qin told me directly that this person's identity is a bit special, and I'm afraid no one would dare to catch him. When I heard what he said, I was shocked." I guessed who he was talking about, and immediately asked him to take me to the scene to have a look."

Speaking of this, Academician Wu's tone was a little melancholy again.

Looking in the direction of the awarding platform, there was a trace of fascination in his eyes.

"...I will probably never forget that shocking scene in my life."

Amid applause, the old man standing on the stage shook hands with the three astronauts respectively, and awarded them the titles of "Aerospace First-Class Merit Medal" and "Aerospace Heroes" in recognition of their outstanding performance in the manned moon landing program. determination and courage.

After the awarding of the three astronauts, the researchers who contributed to the manned mission to the moon followed.

Although it was three astronauts who challenged to land on the moon, without the silent contributions of these behind-the-scenes heroes, determination and courage alone would not be able to print the footprints of the Chinese nation on the moon.

It is also the Aerospace First Class Meritorious Medal.

This is the highest medal in the field of aerospace, and it is also the lifelong dream of countless astronauts. This award is generally only awarded to astronauts and technicians who have made outstanding contributions to breakthrough aerospace experiments, and the number is quite rare.

Taking out the shining golden medal from the brocade box, the old man put it on Lu Zhou's chest himself, and held his hand tightly, shaking it up and down, and said in a solemn tone.

"thanks!"

Lu Zhou: "You're welcome."

For him, things like medals are already secondary, and since he got the Lingyun Medal, the demand for this aspect has also weakened a lot. His demand is actually very simple, as long as someone can support his experiment and let him continue to explore on the road of science, it is enough.

Staring at Lu Zhou for a while, the old man smiled and said.

"Ashamed to say, I have nothing to give you."

Lu Zhou smiled faintly: "Don't be so polite, a medal is enough."

"Just a medal is not enough to express the country's gratitude to you." After a pause, the old man pondered for a while and then said, "You have everything I can give you, and you probably don't care about the rest. Later I just thought about it, since I don't have anything vulgar to give you, I'll give you a pair of calligraphy."

As he said that, the old man took a piece of rice paper from the waiter and unfolded it in front of Lu Zhou.

On this piece of rice paper, there is a row of majestic Xingkai walking smoothly.

[Purple Qi comes from the east and auspiciousness arrives, Fuze and Kyushu descend to talents! 】

There is also a boxy name stamp at the signing place.

Looking at Xingkai, Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.

Even though he doesn't know much about art, he can still feel the strength of the strokes.

"Good word."

"It's not a good word." The old man smiled and waved his hands. "If you like it, you can hang it somewhere."

After receiving the rice paper and the box from the waiter, Lu Zhou nodded his thanks.

Although I don't know what this thing is, but seeing the envious eyes of Director Li and others, Lu Zhou can probably understand a little bit, and the meaning of this word is probably extraordinary.

Speaking of which, would it be too ostentatious to hang this thing in the office?

emmm...

Forget it, it’s better to keep it as a historical relic.
