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

“This matter might indeed be false. I remember, years ago, a scientist from China claimed to have developed a computer chip. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the chip was purchased and simply had its original markings removed!”

“I know about that incident! However, China has truly developed the most advanced computer chip on the market now, and it’s affordably priced!”

“Perhaps what many do not know is that the man who developed the computer chip is the same person who spoke at today’s press conference!”

“My goodness! Isn’t he China’s top mathematician? How did he become an expert on computer chips?”

“I’m not clear on the specifics.”

“Alright! Everyone, quiet down!” Smith gestured for silence and continued, “Regardless of whether the announcement from China is true, we should take it seriously! We aim to successfully launch a new generation of navigation satellite in the shortest possible time!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After attending the press conference, Tang Feng’s phone was ringing off the hook.

Tang Long and his wife, Su Gang, as well as family and friends, all called to congratulate him.

This state lasted for almost an hour.

“Brother Feng, Ning Xiao and the others called me. They want to invite you to dinner tonight to celebrate!” Su Xiaoli said.

“Okay!” Tang Feng nodded, readily agreeing.

For him, the successful manufacture of the atomic clock was indeed a cause for celebration.

As they were preparing to go home, Tang Feng’s phone rang again.

He saw that it was Su Ming calling.

“Boss, are you still at the venue of the press conference?” Su Ming inquired.

“Yes! But we’re about to leave,” Tang Feng replied.

“Do you have any plans for tonight? Zhang Hao and I want to celebrate for you!” Su Ming shared his idea.

“Ning Xiao called earlier with the same thought. Since that’s the case, let’s all get together tonight!”

“Where will the gathering be?”

“It’s at Shiyue Pavilion. Just get there before six,” Tang Feng responded.

After the call ended, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli went home to rest for a bit.

Soon, it was 6 p.m.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli arrived at the entrance of Shiyue Pavilion.

Ning Xiao and others had been waiting for a while!

Tang Feng greeted them.

Then, the group headed to the reserved private room.

Tang Feng invited everyone to sit down.

“Tang Feng, you must have been really busy lately! You seem to have lost quite a bit of weight,” Yu Li commented.

“It’s been okay,” Tang Feng smiled slightly, “I leave home at 7 a.m. and return at 6 p.m.”

“Are you going to be even busier in the coming period?” Ning Xiao asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “I hope to complete the launch of the navigation satellite in the shortest time.”

“Boss, take it easy. Health comes first,” Su Ming kindly reminded.

“Don’t worry! I know what I’m doing,” Tang Feng laughed.

The dishes were served one after another.

Everyone ate while chatting.

After dinner, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli left Shi Yue Pavilion hand in hand.

They didn’t go straight home but instead strolled around the campus of Jingcheng University.

Then they slowly made their way home.

In the following period, Tang Feng became even busier.

No matter what technical challenge came his way, he could solve it promptly.

The project progressed very quickly.

Even exceeding his expectations.

Originally, he had planned to launch the navigation satellite in three months.

Surprisingly, just in a month and a half, the navigation satellite was already assembled.

This pace was unprecedented.

Soon, the launch vehicle was ready.

Tang Feng and Sun Dong, among others, sat in the control room, looking very pressured.

Especially Tang Feng.

Even though he had thoroughly inspected the navigation satellite twice, he was still somewhat uneasy.

To avoid panic in case of failure, this launch experiment was conducted in secret.

If successful, the news would be announced to the world.

If it failed, they would act as if nothing had happened and start over.

Soon, the launch vehicle took off.

As the rocket disintegrated, the navigation satellite was successfully positioned.

Then came the anxious wait.

Eight vehicles equipped for signal reception were lined up.

If everything went as planned, they should receive signals from the navigation satellite within five minutes.

Time passed second by second.

No signals were received.

Tang Feng was somewhat panicked.

After all, he was the chief designer of the Beidou Phase Two project.

If there were any issues with this launch experiment, he would definitely be responsible.

Sun Dong and Zhang Liang, among others, also became nervous.

Fortunately, signals were eventually received.

This meant that China now had its satellite navigation system.

It was indeed a momentous occasion.

Including Tang Feng and Sun Dong, all staff members could not help but shed tears of joy.

“Old Sun, since the satellite has been successfully launched, should we announce this news?” Tang Feng discussed with him.

“Yes!” Sun Dong nodded, “This is a good opportunity to tell the people of the world that China has its satellite navigation system. From now on, we no longer need to use foreign satellite navigation systems.”

“Old Sun, with the Beidou Phase Two project successfully completed, the staff of the research center, both in terms of technical level and research experience, have made significant improvements. Now that Huafang Company has officially started production, I plan to devote all my energy to the domestic production of computer monitors. As for the research center, it can continue research and development based on current achievements,” Tang Feng shared his thoughts.

“Okay! No problem! Having just completed this project, I want to give the staff a good rest for a while. After everyone has rested enough, we’ll hold a meeting to discuss the next research plan,” Sun Dong readily agreed.

Soon, the news of China’s successful launch of the navigation satellite spread.

It could truly be described as nationwide jubilation.

Many people couldn’t help but spread the word.

For a time, Tang Feng’s name was celebrated throughout the country.
