Are you interested in participating in this project?

The three of them exchanged glances.

Unable to hold back, Hong Fan was the first to speak.

"Professor Lv! May I ask, is the space station project of China really going to be cancelled?"

Lv Yongchang was slightly taken aback.

The space station project of China was cancelled?

He looked at Hong Qiming beside him with a puzzled expression, "Minister Hong, the space station project..."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Hong Qiming's mouth, "I say, Professor Lv, you're the director of the China Space Administration after all. Don't tell me you don't know about such a big thing?"

Lv Yongchang: "..."

"Ahem..."

Seeing the guilty look on Lv Yongchang's face, the helplessness in Hong Qiming's eyes became even stronger.

He let out a deep sigh, and then started to explain, "A few days ago, the councilor personally ordered to stop the half - completed space station project of China."

"Why?!" A voice of indignation came from Hong Fan beside him, "Is the councilor going to give up space exploration?"

"Hong Fan!" Bai Yixuan shouted sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. Listen to Minister Hong patiently until he finishes!"

Hong Fan lowered his head resentfully.

Hong Qiming waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay.

I can understand your feelings about the sudden cancellation of the space station project of China.

As for the reason why the space station was cancelled... you should ask Professor Lv.

He should know the reason best."

As he spoke, Hong Qiming gave Lv Yongchang a meaningful look.

The next moment, three pairs of eyes focused on Lv Yongchang's face.

Lv Yongchang: "..."

He gave Hong Qiming a resentful look.

Well, although he wasn't sure of the specific reason, he could more or less guess it.

Facing the eyes of the three astronauts, which were filled with doubt and a bit of indignation, Lv Yongchang subconsciously touched the tip of his nose and said awkwardly.

"To put it simply, the original space station of China has lost its value of existence."

"What..." Bai Yixuan's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed in a low voice.

That was a space station!

On the entire Earth, the number of countries with an independent space station was very limited!

Its scientific research value was unimaginable!

"That's right." Lv Yongchang nodded slightly and said vaguely, "In order to deal with future crises, China needs to focus its energy on more valuable things!"

Due to the confidentiality agreement, some information couldn't be clearly told to the three in front of him.

Especially the information about the solar anomaly!

Only when the three astronauts confirmed their participation in the spaceplane project could he tell them the specific content.

Hearing Lv Yongchang's words, Xia Wanyi's eyes dimmed.

It was the same old rhetoric again.

Vague as always.

She let out a deep sigh and asked softly, "Since Professor Lv thinks the space station has lost its value, then why did you call the three of us here today?

Since China thinks space has no exploration value, what does it need us astronauts for?

Why not let us go home and rest."

At this moment, even Bai Yixuan didn't stop Xia Wanyi's words.

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was gradually turning stiff, the corner of Lv Yongchang's mouth curved upwards, and he chuckled, "Who told you that space has no exploration value?

Just because one space station project was cancelled, you want to retire?"

Bai Yixuan's heart skipped a beat.

He opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

A hoarse voice sounded beside him, "Professor Lv, you mean..."

"What do I mean?" The smile on Lv Yongchang's face grew wider, "I have a better project here. I wonder if the three of you are interested in participating?"

"Can... can we go to space?" There was a tremor in Xia Wanyi's voice.

"Of course!"

"Not only space, but you can also become the first batch of Chinese astronauts to land on the moon!"

Lv Yongchang's calm words were like a thunderclap out of a clear sky, stunning the three young astronauts!

Going into space... Landing on the moon...

These eight words echoed constantly in Xia Wanyi's ears. Gradually, the world in front of her became blurred.

Tears of excitement filled her eyes.

"So? Are you interested in participating?"

"Of... of course we are willing!" The voices of Bai Yixuan and Hong Fan sounded beside her.

"What about you, Xia Wanyi?"

Lv Yongchang's question came.

She was so excited that she couldn't say a word for a moment, and could only nod desperately.

Seeing this, Bai Yixuan smiled and patted Xia Wanyi on the shoulder, "Okay, it turns out that our persistent training has paid off!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, a hint of emotion appeared in Lv Yongchang's eyes.

Since the first ape looked up at the starry sky, the yearning for the endless universe had been deeply engraved in the genes of human beings!

When the emotions of the three gradually calmed down, Lv Yongchang's expression turned serious, "Let me tell you in advance that you will be participating in China's first spaceplane project.

Although you have a lot of space - flight experience, it's far from enough to be a spaceplane pilot.

Therefore, you need to go to the air force pilot training base for a one - month special training!"

"This training will be very tiring and tough.

You..."

"Professor Lv, don't worry. We will complete the training mission!" Bai Yixuan directly interrupted Lv Yongchang's words.

Lv Yongchang was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile, "Alright then!"

"I'll be waiting for you at the National Aerospace Research Institute!

I hope you won't let me down!"

...

In the United States.

At the Central Intelligence Agency building.

There was a rush of rapid footsteps in the bright corridor.

A man in uniform tightly held a document in his hand and walked quickly towards the office at the end of the corridor!

When he reached the door of the office, he suddenly stopped.

Then, he took a deep breath to calm his slightly rapid breathing.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

A deep male voice came from inside the door.

He took another deep breath, then reached out and pushed open the office door.

"What's the matter?"

Inside the office, a white - skinned man with a hooked nose and a mean - looking face stared at him with a gloomy expression.

He swallowed slightly and reached out to hand the document in his hand to the man behind the desk, "Director William, the spies in China have sent the latest intelligence!"

William Blair's expression froze slightly, then he suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Quick, bring the document here!"

Hearing this order, the man quickly handed the document in his hand to him.

William Blair quickly unfolded the document and began to read it carefully.

Gradually, his face turned pale.
