Chapter 430

The next day.

January 2.

Today is the day to hold a celebration banquet.

Wu Zheng repeatedly instructed Gu Lu to go on time.

The celebration banquet was set in a hotel with a small size.

At that time, all staff of the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project team, as well as leaders from the National Space Administration and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, will be present.

besides.

Wu Zheng revealed to Gu Lu.

There will be several big shots coming from above to visit the scene in person.

The celebration banquet was set at 7 o'clock in the evening.

All day long.

Gu Lu still studied the subjects at the usual pace in the institute's office and Simon.

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Lu returned to the apartment and changed into a formal suit.

"You're going out again?" Simon couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Lu's outfit.

Gu Lu nodded while wearing a tie, "Go out to attend a dinner!"

“Will you come again tonight?”

"Come back." Gu Lu smiled slightly, "It's about ten o'clock, I should be able to come back."

"I try not to drink, and when I come back, we will continue to do the topic!"

Waving with Simon, Gu Lu went downstairs to the school gate.

I took a taxi and went straight to the hotel called "Qinyuanchun".

Gu Lu arrived at the entrance of the hotel at about 6:30.

Gu Lu, the person in charge of the receptionist in the hotel, knew that it was Xiao Liu, the driver who sent Gu Lu directly to the front-end time.

"Have General Manager Wu arrived?" Gu Lu walked directly to the driver Xiao Liu and asked.

"Professor Gu, General Manager Wu has arrived, right upstairs." The driver Xiao Liu Ke answered politely.

Gu Lu nodded, "Okay, then you're busy with yours, I'll go up and find him."

upstairs.

People were sitting in groups of three or three in the banquet hall.

Gu Lu glanced briefly.

All the people who are here at the lunar exploration project team are from the project team, and Gu Lu even found many familiar faces he had seen in the command center.

For example, the old expert who said he was a fool of himself and the person in charge of the propulsion system.

"Gu Lu, you came earlier than I thought!" While Gu Lu was still identifying them one by one, Wu Zheng walked over from the side with a smile, and came up and gave Gu Lu a big hug.

"I don't dare to neglect this kind of occasion at all." Gu Lu smiled.

Wu Zheng raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch.

"Calculate the time, those leaders should be almost here. I'm about to go down to greet him. Gu Lu, would you like to be with me?" Wu Zheng smiled and suggested.

Gu Lu pointed at himself, "I'll go too, this...is not suitable!"

He is not from the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project team, so it's enough to just wait on it.

"What's the right thing? Besides, after hearing about Gu Lu's deeds, several leaders of our Space Administration clearly stated that they would meet you!" Wu Zheng directly pulled Gu Lu and walked downstairs without saying a word.

Downstairs of the hotel.

A whole row of black cars stopped.

More than a dozen leaders walked down one after another.

Among these dozen leaders, Gu Lu only knew one, that is Director Zhou of the Space Administration, whom he met last time.

Wu Zheng pulled Gu Lu over to greet him.

Wu Zheng first walked to a leader with a majestic face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This leader looks like he is about fifties.

There is a kind of a superior momentum in every move.

"Director Zhang." Wu Zheng greeted politely.

Zhang Hongtu, the current director of the China Space Administration.

He is the highest leader in the domestic aerospace field.

This top leader is obviously a serious type.

Facing Wu Zheng's greetings, Director Zhang just nodded slightly, and then asked in a faint tone, "How is the preparations inside?"

"All aspects are ready. When everyone arrives, the celebration banquet will begin!" Wu Zheng replied politely.

Director Zhang nodded, looking like he was no longer talking.

but……

Director Zhang's eyes inevitably fell on Gu Lu.

After all, Gu Lu's appearance, coupled with his straight suit, will not be ignored no matter where he is placed.

"Wu Zheng, who is this?" Director Zhang frowned slightly.

"Gu Lu." Wu Zheng replied with a smile.

Director Zhang quickly retrieved the name Gu Lu in memory.

"So it's you." Director Zhang's eyes flashed with surprise, "I heard from Director Zhou that Professor Gu who saved the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project in a desperate situation within 72 seconds this time was a young hero."

"At that time, I thought Director Zhou had a deliberate exaggeration, but I didn't expect that this time I saw him, it was indeed the case!"

Gu Lu smiled slightly, "Director Zhang praised it."

"Our National Space Administration will remember Professor Gu's contribution to China's aerospace industry." Director Zhang expressed his gratitude to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu did not directly admit it, "Director Zhang, you are polite. I am first a Chinese citizen, and then a scientist. Since I have the ability to do something for China's aerospace industry, why not do it!"

Director Zhang found that he began to like Gu Lu a little.

A rare smile appeared on his majestic face.

"Haha, if China can have more young people who think like this, our China's aerospace industry will not worry about not being able to catch up with the United States!"

Then, Director Zhang's eyes fell back to Wu Zheng.

"The appointment letter has been approved." Director Zhang said lightly, "The position of your chief engineer has been decided!"

"The burden of manned landing on the moon is left to you. Whether it is asking for people or money, we will all be satisfied."

"But our only requirement for you is to send our first astronaut to the moon by 2025!"

Director Zhang's tone was very serious.

And Wu Zheng could only smile helplessly.

Manned moon landing.

This is not a small amount of difficulties and obstacles for China today.

Compared with manned lunar landing projects, the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project that just ended some time ago is probably not even half the difficulty.

Six years.

Wu Zheng cannot say that he is not sure.

But if you calculate carefully, to be honest, the overall grasp is not very big.

but.

They will always have to walk on this road.

The difference is just about sooner or later.

If a manned moon landing cannot be seen, then China will be suppressed by the United States in the field of aerospace.

"No problem, I will do my best!" Wu Zheng made a military order.

The expression on Director Zhang's face relaxed a little.

"Does Professor Gu know a lot about manned moon landing technology?"

"I have some knowledge. I have read a lot of articles on this when I was in the United States before." Gu Lu answered truthfully.

"That's better...How about Professor Gu joining the manned lunar landing project team?"

"Sorry, Director Zhang, I told Director Zhou before that I have no idea of ​​joining the Space Administration yet."

"No, you misunderstood what I meant. I didn't ask you to join the Space Administration, I just hope you can join the manned lunar landing project team!"
