Chapter 226: Successful Launch of the Navigation Satellite! Nationwide Celebration! (Part 3/4)

“Really? That’s truly wonderful! Having you here gives me peace of mind!” Gu Jianguo appeared very pleased.

“Alright! Go ahead with your work!” Tang Feng said and started wandering around the workshop.

The workers in the workshop, regardless of their age or experience, showed immense respect upon seeing Tang Feng.

After all, Tang Feng had proven his worth through his capabilities.

Even some seasoned craftsmen actively sought advice from Tang Feng.

Tang Feng was always patient in offering guidance.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The atomic clock was successfully manufactured.

Tang Feng thoroughly inspected it inside and out.

Only after ensuring that the atomic clock was free of any issues did he call Sun Dong.

The call was quickly connected.

“Old Sun! I have good news! We’ve completed the manufacturing of the atomic clock!” Tang Feng’s words were filled with joy.

After all, he had participated in the entire manufacturing process of the atomic clock.

“That’s fantastic news! Truly fantastic! I’ll report this to the senior leadership immediately!” Sun Dong’s mood seemed very excited.

Soon, the senior leadership instructed Tang Feng to attend the press conference.

After all, the successful manufacturing of the atomic clock was largely due to Tang Feng’s efforts.

Colleagues at the research center congratulated Tang Feng upon hearing the news.

Tang Feng returned home.

He shared the good news with Su Xiaoli.

“For such a formal occasion as the press conference, should you wear a suit?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded.

“Then I’ll help you iron the suit later,” Su Xiaoli offered.

“I can do it myself,” Tang Feng said.

“There’s no need for you to do such things. Besides, you’ve been working hard lately. Now that the atomic clock is successfully manufactured, you should take a break,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Taking a break is out of the question. Manufacturing the atomic clock is just the first step. Next, we have to manufacture other components related to the navigation satellite. I’ve promised old Sun that we will successfully launch the navigation satellite within three months!” Tang Feng’s eyes were filled with confident light.

“But…” Su Xiaoli wanted to say more.

“I know you’re worried about me. But compared to those who are constantly working on the front lines, I’m relatively at ease,” Tang Feng laughed.

Su Xiaoli didn’t speak further, instead she nestled into his embrace.

After dinner, Su Xiaoli ironed Tang Feng’s suit.

The night quickly passed.

In the morning, after breakfast, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli arrived at the venue of the press conference.

The host hurriedly greeted him upon seeing him.

“President Tang! You look exceptionally handsome today! Is this suit new?” the host inquired while examining him.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “I’ve had it for several months. My girlfriend ironed it for me last night.”

“This must be your girlfriend, right? She’s really beautiful!” the host couldn’t help but exclaim.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged smiles upon hearing this.

“President Tang, will you need a computer later?” the host asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “I have some photos to show.”

The host quickly made arrangements.

The press conference officially began.

The host delivered a few opening remarks.

Then it was Tang Feng’s turn to speak.

Tang Feng displayed the photos of the atomic clock that had been manufactured.

This left the media reporters present at the venue utterly amazed.

Indeed, facts speak louder than words.

At this moment, the photos of the atomic clock were worth more than a thousand words.

“Currently, we have successfully manufactured an atomic clock that is smaller in size and lighter in weight. Next, we plan to develop the navigation satellite! Originally, the international organization gave us a deadline until the end of 2007. Now it seems, in no more than three months, we will be able to complete the launch of the navigation satellite!”

As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, it caused a huge stir.

Since the press conference was broadcast live, many viewers watching on TV became very excited.

Although some viewers might not understand what a navigation satellite is, they still felt genuinely proud.

Soon, the three major portal websites posted this significant news on their front-Part headlines.

Website users, upon seeing the title, clicked in.

“My goodness! Isn’t that my idol, Tang Feng! When did he become the chief designer of the Beidou Phase Two project?”

“I never thought that he’s not only a math genius but also an expert in the aerospace field!”

“Such an advanced atomic clock, I guess even America can’t manufacture it!”

“No wonder America announced the initiation of a new generation of navigation satellite development a few days ago. It seems they’re really in a panic this time!”

“It looks like we’re about to witness a new breakthrough in the aerospace field before long!”

While everyone was having their say, Smith, far across the ocean, had also learned about the news.

When he saw the photos of the atomic clock manufactured by China, he was filled with shock!

He even believed that the photos Tang Feng displayed were fake!

Despite it being nine o’clock at night, he decided to hold an emergency meeting.

Soon, experts from America’s aerospace field appeared before him.

Smith printed out several photos displayed by Tang Feng and laid them out in front of everyone.

“Gentlemen, this is the atomic clock manufactured by China. What do you think?” Smith looked around the room, asking seriously.

“Just a few photos shouldn’t prove anything! Moreover, with China’s manufacturing technology, it’s impossible to manufacture the atomic clock in such a short time,” one male expert expressed his opinion.

“I also think this might be a model diagram! And this model diagram, along with the previously mentioned design drawings, is very likely from the same person,” another male expert added his view.

“It seems our press conference a few days ago has had an effect! China clearly can’t keep calm!”

“Thinking that a few photos will convince everyone is simply ridiculous!”

“Mr. Smith, what’s your opinion?” someone asked.

“My opinion is similar to yours. China’s industrial manufacturing level has indeed improved, but to complete the manufacturing of the atomic clock in such a short time is practically an impossible mission,” Smith answered.

“Since everyone agrees, I think there’s no need for further discussion on this matter. We can just wait and see how China tries to substantiate this lie in three months.”
