Li Xiao has heard in the news before that Exian is the latest moon landing rocket developed by the Han Dynasty. It is said that it can carry a space station. It can be said that a space base station can be established directly on the moon.
When he was far away, he could barely see the original appearance of the rocket. When he got closer, Li Xiao couldn't take a clear look no matter how high he looked up.
"I have never seen it with my own eyes before, and I didn't expect the height of the rocket to be so spectacular."
Next to the support are countless workers wearing work clothes and orange safety helmets, almost becoming busy worker ants against the backdrop of the giant rocket.
"It was launch time early this morning, and you just happened to catch up with me this time."
Mo Liangyin took Li Xiao and the others around the launch tower, and then led them back to the launch center.
"Actually, that's all there is to the launch center. It's not convenient to disclose the internal contents of the base. Xiao Li, you are taking advantage of an employee's loophole by coming so close."
His words are very true. From the outside, the base looks like a small building complex. If it weren't for such a conspicuous transmitting tower, it would look like a residential area in a desert area.
There are many soldiers standing guard outside the base, and the guards are very tight.
"At first, the address of our launch center was fictitious to the outside world. Later, after the country became stronger, the approximate location was made public. It can be said that we attach great importance to national defense." Mo Liangyin had a proud look on his face: "
There is also an advanced reconnaissance system around the base, and the strength of this defense system is also at the forefront in the world."
In other words, the reason why Li Xiao can be brought here is not only because he is a good young man with upright roots, but also because the country has enough confidence in its own strength.
"Although you can't enter the base, there is an aerospace museum nearby that is open to the public. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." Mo Liangyin said, "If you go at this time, you can still make it back to the hotel in time.
dinner."
"Then go ahead." Li Xiao readily agreed.
As a layman standing next to the launch tower, even if he watched it for ten years, he would not be able to see the beauty of this rocket. He could not add anything more to it besides lamenting the development of science and technology and the prosperity of the country.
Mo Liangyin volunteered to drive, and Li Xiao realized that it would still take an hour to drive from here to that museum.
In order to express his gratitude, Li Xiao invited Mo Liangyin like he borrowed flowers and offered them to Buddha: "Why don't we have a buffet at the hotel where we are staying tonight? I just happened to draw a prize, and the quota will be reserved."
"Okay." Mo Liangyin's face was full of surprise, "I didn't expect that Xiao Li, you would be so lucky to be exempted from the bill when you went out for a meal."
An hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the Aviation Museum.
Completely different from the low-key launch base, the door of the Aerospace Museum is directly an open rocket hatch.
What surprised Li Xiao was that the ticket price for this museum was quite high.
The ticket price for an adult is 300, and children under the age of twelve are free of charge.
"This can be considered an extra income for our base." Mo Liangyin smiled and took out his work ID, and the three of them directly enjoyed the free service and walked into the employee passage.
"I suddenly felt that the benefits of being a civil servant are really good." Li Xiao said with envy in his tone, "People like me with no technical skills can only work part-time to make ends meet."
As soon as these words came out, several people couldn't help laughing.
"Who doesn't know that our scientific and technical personnel are paid dead wages? Why don't you, Xiao Li, get a higher salary?"
"But you are better at stability. At the end of the universe are civil servants!"
Several people walked into the exhibition hall with smiles.
The first thing that appeared in front of Li Xiao was a split version of Rocket.
This rocket was scaled down, but it was still twenty or thirty meters long.
"This is the escape tower, this is the instrument cabin, this is the grid stabilizer..."
Mo Liangyin, who was considered a half-host, volunteered to introduce the names and uses of various parts of the rocket to Li Xiao, and finally pointed to a narrow section in the middle: "This is the part of the spacecraft where the astronauts are."
"With such a big rocket, their hiding place is only so small?"
"The rocket looks relatively big, but a large part of it is the engine and fuel. When we see the rocket launch into the sky, the four small rocket-like things that fall off are actually filled with fuel." Mo Liangyin explained,
"After all, going to space requires a lot of power. It would be embarrassing if you don't have enough fuel to go up."
"Nowadays, technology is much more mature and there are not so many accidents. When rockets were first developed in the last century, there were many failures of this kind at home and abroad. But things are much better now."
After watching Split the Rockets, Li Xiao and Mo Jie went up to the second floor under the leadership of Mo Liangyin.
Compared to the huge rocket on the first floor, there are more humanities equipment on the second floor.
Coming out of the stairs, you will see a huge photo wall with photos of astronauts since the rocket went into space.
The three-meter-high photo wall is full of energetic astronauts.
Li Xiao looked up and saw countless "satellites" hanging above his head. In addition, several space suits were also hung in mid-air, making it look like real people were floating above.
He took a cursory look and saw that there were no fewer than thirty "satellites" above his head.
"These satellites were scaled down and hung on top after our country launched them into the sky. The number of satellites we see now is actually the number of satellites our country launched into the sky." Mo Liangyin introduced.
"This number is too exaggerated!" Li Xiao couldn't help but gasped. Nothing else. No matter how much he paid attention to the news, he had never heard that the Han Dynasty had launched so many satellites into the sky.
"Generally speaking, we only have reports on manned rockets that are relatively important. No one pays attention to ordinary communication satellites, so they are gradually not reported much. There are also some relatively confidential satellites that need to have confidentiality functions.
It won’t be reported in the news.”
Looking at the countless satellites on the ceiling, Li Xiao was a little confused: "What is the purpose of launching so many satellites? Is it to demonstrate national power?"
"You didn't expect this, did you?" Mo Liangyin lowered his voice, "Think about it, how many equators our earth has? Just one, right? Thinking about such an important orbit, each satellite will lose one position. Our country
Of course you have to keep it in your hands."
"When other countries have the technology and want to go to the sky, then we will occupy too much of the equatorial orbit. If they want, they can only rent some satellites from us, or buy one or two positions."
After listening to Mo Liangyin's words, Li Xiao said that he was eye-opened.
In addition to these facilities that people can visit, there are also many VR games and various space simulation game types that can provide immersive experience.
In addition, according to Mo Liangyin's introduction, there is a 4D theater on the third floor that plays space-themed movies.
Both Li Xiao and Mo Jie came to this type of museum for the first time. After experiencing a VR, they couldn't stop. When Mo Liangyin suggested going to the cinema, they were shocked to realize that several hours had passed.
Hour.
"If you have a chance, let's go see a movie next time."
Li Xiao glanced at the time with some regret, and suddenly realized that it would be worthwhile to spend the three hundred yuan to come in: just for the 4D theaters and these huge VR experiences that have not yet been promoted nationwide,
It’s also very worth it.
"If we go back now, we should be able to catch up with the hotel for dinner. According to the menu, dinner must be the richest time of the day." Li Xiao said.
"Let's go then!" Mo Liangyin was eager to try, "I also want to see how the food made by that hotel tastes."
······
In Li Xiao's live broadcast room, there are many viewers squatting on the dark screen:
"When will the anchor start broadcasting? It's already dinner time!"
"Based on the host's usual live broadcast time, the second course should have been eaten by this time!"
"Have you really gone to see the launch base with that little brother named Xiaojie?"
"Don't worry, our anchor overslept in the morning. Maybe we are still driving in the desert now because the signal is not good and the navigation has an error and we can't find the road temporarily. We can just wait."
"Do you think the anchor will blindly select a restaurant on the road? Will he not go back to the Mars Hotel?"
"This? No, I haven't guessed the food in this hotel yet! Qiuqiu anchor give me another chance!"
"Isn't it possible? After all, you won a lottery and got a free meal, so the anchor still wants to eat for free instead of spending money to find a restaurant?"
When the audience in the live broadcast room with a black screen was wondering why Li Xiao hadn't started broadcasting yet, Li Xiao belatedly opened the live broadcast room.
Appearing in front of the camera are dishes that make people move their fingers: spicy tuna, milky chicken rice, mushroom minced meat, and deep-fried meatballs.
"Brother Mo, your recipe is a bit of a combination of Chinese and foreign." Li Xiao took the chopsticks and didn't know where to start.
"It's okay, it's okay. These dishes have been certified by our astronauts when they were at the base. Although I don't know how good this store is, but now that I know there are such dishes, the taste shouldn't be too bad... right?
." Mo Liangyin smiled and said with a hesitant tone at the end, "I also made some of them based on my personal taste."
"It's not a big problem, let's just start eating." Since Li Xiao has left the choice of dishes in Mo Liangyin's hands, there is no reason to doubt it anymore.
He looked at it and focused on the spicy tuna.
Tuna is also called tuna and tuna. The fish meat is dark red and has high nutritional value. It is more commonly heard as sashimi on the table as a Japanese food, but many people avoid sashimi.
But far away, only the sashimi lovers who are full of praises are left to enclose their own cuteness.
Spicy tuna is a Southeast Asian dish that is fried.
First apply the cajun seasoning to both sides of the tuna meat and marinate it. After two hours, take it out and dip it in lemon juice, sesame oil, pepper and salt. Put it in a pan and fry it for about half a minute, then remove it and place it on the plate.
This tuna recipe sounds relatively simple, but the chef's knife skills and fire control requirements are not as stringent.
A dish needs to be fried for half a minute before it is ready to be taken out of the pan. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the thickness of the fish is thin enough and even. The degree of frying will also test the chef's control of the heat.
Li Xiao first picked up a piece of tuna meat on the plate.
Different from the Han Dynasty's tradition of focusing on color, this tuna dish looks pure light orange at first glance: the color of tuna after it is fried.
"This piece of fish smells spicy and sour, and the sourness is mixed with a slight sweetness."
Apart from anything else, this dish has a very thick soup. When Li Xiao picked up such a piece, four or five drops of soup dripped out.
In order to avoid staining the tabletop, he showed it in front of the camera and then directly put it into his mouth and took a sip.
"It's sweet and spicy," Li Xiao chewed directly in his mouth in order not to affect the audience's visual experience. "It tastes like it has the refreshing and sour taste of lemon. It should be like this. It handles the fishy smell of tuna very well.
"
"The spiciness is a relatively mild spiciness. The tongue can feel the spiciness but not to the point of being unbearable..." Li Xiao pursed his lips and thought of a more appropriate metaphor: "It's like a kitten's tongue.
The slight sandpaper-rubbing feeling you can feel when you lick the palm of your hand."
"The sweetness in the sweet and spicy taste is a lively sweetness, and your tongue can feel the jumping sensation in the hot fish meat."
"There is another point worth mentioning," Li Xiao licked his teeth, with some emotion in his tone, "Actually, many of the sweet and spicy dishes in our country of Han taste like spicy strips, but this
Spicy tuna doesn't give me this feeling. Not only does it not taste like spicy tuna, but because of the addition of lemon juice, the flavor becomes very unique."
"Its meat is relatively firm and tastes a bit like chicken. No wonder it's called chicken of the sea," Li Xiao chewed carefully. "The sauce is very thick, so it tastes salty and fresh. It's very elastic and has soup at the same time."
The juice has a gelatinous texture.”
“It can be said that this chef’s handling of tuna is very good.”
As soon as Li Xiao entered the restaurant, he could tell that this restaurant really put a lot of effort into preparing the dishes.
Tuna is criticized by people who don't eat raw fish because it can easily smell fishy if not processed properly. In other words, spoiled tuna will also have a strong fishy smell.
"This spicy tuna dish can get 85 points." Li Xiao said and put it on the plate again. The two people next to him had already started to take off their chopsticks non-stop.
Studio:
"This tuna doesn't look very good. Is there any knowledgeable friend who can comment on it?"
"After all, it's not like the Han Dynasty that pays attention to both color, flavor and taste, so it's understandable that we focus on taste and ignore presentation."
"Is tuna so delicious? I had tuna in Japanese food once at my graduation dinner. From then on, I never wanted to try Japanese food again. It felt really scary."
“You can try the tuna cooked at home upstairs!”
"Don't mislead the cooking novices. If they weren't good at cooking, who would easily take action on tuna? Don't make others waste money and effort and mess it up!"
"Although I can't tell that the anchor's comment is untrue, but seeing the two pairs of chopsticks next to me cheering, it must taste very good, right?"
