In front of the rocket building, at the edge of the launch area, everyone gathered together and looked at each other.

The handover personnel from the Nuclear Industry Group who came to take charge of the handover have already contacted the person in charge.

The other armed personnel responsible for escorting the truck also realized that there might be a problem, and everyone stood guard at the front, rear, and left sides of the special transport vehicle.

…

"Normally, the nuclear industry should not make such low-level mistakes." Gan Xiaohua said thoughtfully.

"The problem is difficult to explain. There may be a flaw in a certain link, which can only be blamed on our bad luck, but it may also be someone who did it deliberately." Professor Hu thought for a moment and said.

"Professor Hu, you'd better stop with conspiracy theories." Zhang Zhai shook his head, "I'm basically certain that this was an accident. As for which link there was a flaw in, it has nothing to do with us. That is the nuclear industry group's own business."

After hearing what Zhang Zhai said, Professor Hu and Academician Gan looked at each other with thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

They did not ask Zhang Zhai how he was sure it was an accident rather than a conspiracy, but immediately changed the subject.

Academician Gan said with some worry: "I hope it is not a problem in the manufacturing process. The best result is a transportation error. In that case, the nuclear reactor that should be shipped is not transported, which will only waste a few days. But if there is a flaw in the manufacturing process,

...I am afraid that the launch time of Houyi to the moon will be extended."

"The probability of problems occurring during transportation is too small. We may have to be prepared for the failure of the other party to provide nuclear reactors as scheduled." Zhang Zhai said in a deep voice.

Zhang Zhai's words cast a dark cloud over everyone's hearts. Although everyone was still standing under the sun, they felt as if they were in an icehouse.

"If the other party is unable to provide us with a qualified nuclear reactor on time, the complete assembly of the Hou Yi may be delayed, thus affecting the entire moon landing plan." Professor Hu Jin frowned, his expression ugly.

"I knew it was better to rely on others than to rely on ourselves. If I had known earlier, we shouldn't have entrusted others to do such an important thing. We trusted them so much, but they ended up holding us back!" A young researcher muttered angrily.

Although the sound was very low, the group of people were very close to each other, so naturally everyone could hear it clearly.

No one answered, but no one refuted.

Now, even good old people like Professor Hu and Academician Gan are feeling a little annoyed.

"Hey, if the launch time of Houyi really has to be delayed, it will really be a waste of the efforts of the manufacturing personnel who are currently manufacturing the various components of Houyi!" Gan Xiaohua sighed.

"The little time the craftsmen worked hard to gain was all wasted because of this accident."

"Indeed, if the time is really wasted because of this link, I would really be embarrassed to see them." Gan Xiaohua also sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"All the manufacturing personnel are working hard. Don't they just want to land on the moon first before the United States? Although Zhai Shen said that he will not take these false names, it is the honor of all the manufacturing personnel. If they are allowed to do it because of this nonsense,

All your hard work has been wasted, that’s really..." the young researcher said through gritted teeth.

"The situation is not that bad yet. Let's wait until the results come out." Zhang Zhai comforted him.

Zhang Zhai said a word, and everyone became quiet again, quietly waiting for the final result.

Five minutes later, the handover officer finished the call and walked over with his head lowered. During the conversation, he did not even dare to raise his head.

"I'm sorry...Mr. Zhang, there are some problems in the manufacturing process. Mainly because there was a problem with the system when allocating orders...As a result...we have restarted the production of the nuclear reactors that Mr. Zhang needs, but...maybe at least another

It will take about 20 days.”

After hearing this, the words no longer make sense.

No matter who is responsible, the delay is a foregone conclusion.

…

Ten minutes later, the other party left in shame, and at Zhang Zhai's request, the nuclear reactor was temporarily placed at the Zhaicheng Space Center.

"A1, order some terminators to come over and move the nuclear reactor to a suitable place for protection." Zhang Zhai ordered.

"Okay, Father."

After finishing the instructions, Zhang Zhai turned to look at Gan Xiaohua and said with a headache: "The nuclear reactor may cause a ten-day delay in the launch of Hou Yi. The person in charge of the manufacturing area must be notified of this matter."

Hearing this, Gan Xiaohua smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, this is not a good job. How about I go?"

"No, let's go together." Zhang Zhai said solemnly.

Zhaicheng Space Center, on the 12th floor, in the manufacturing area, the manufacturing staff are working in full swing, and the atmosphere has not been affected in the slightest.

…

After finding a quiet room, Zhang Zhai and Gan Xiaohua met with the person in charge of the production of the Houyi.

The person in charge of Houyi's manufacturing was named Chen Zhenguo. He looked like a very simple, middle-aged man.

From the appearance, it is difficult to tell that he once studied in the Department of Aerospace and Aviation of Peking University, and has been studying for a doctorate at Peking University, and has since been working at the China Rocket Research Institute.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gan, what's the matter?"

"How is the production progress of the Houyi Ship recently?"

"The production progress of each component is very fast. With the workers working day and night, it is expected to be faster than previously estimated." Chen Zhenguo said with some excitement.

Gan Xiaohua frowned and was about to speak.

Zhang Zhai reached out and stopped Gan Xiaohua, "Academician Gan, let me do it."

"There is one thing I need to tell you. Due to problems with the nuclear reactor we entrusted to outside manufacturing... it may cause a delay of at least ten days in completing the Houyi spacecraft on the current basis..."

When Zhang Zhai's voice fell, the middle-aged man was stunned. He was confused.

One sentence seemed to shatter his belief.

He stared blankly at Zhang Zhai and Academician Gan.

"Zhai Shen, this...is this true?"

Academician Gan was silent, and Zhang Zhai was speechless when facing this earnest look.

Chen Zhenguo was stunned, his eyes moving repeatedly on the faces of Zhang Zhai and Academician Gan. Although he did not want to believe it, the silence of Zhang Zhai and Academician Gan was the cruelest answer.

"Woo... Wu..." Chen Zhenguo gritted his teeth hard, the muscles on his face were tense and his eyes were wide open, but sobs and choked sounds still came out of his mouth.

Tears welled up in Chen Zhenguo's eyes. The tears of a man, a middle-aged man, hit the ground heavily.

"Woo... Wu... I'm sorry for my brothers, I'm sorry for them... Wu Wu..." There was a hoarse voice choked in the throat, accompanied by tears.

He seemed to have lost the strength to support him, and his whole body fell to the ground. Then, he hugged his head and buried it on the ground, crying loudly: "I...I'm sorry brothers...wuwu...for damn...

First...everyone stays up day and night...wuwuwu..., I just want to tell everyone...we...the Chinese people are not inferior to the American people! What the American country can do, we Chinese people can also do it!

"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Woo, I finally caught up... I finally caught up..." Chen Zhenguo choked, his whole body twitching.

"But... Ten days... It's really impossible to do it in ten days... Wuwu... Mr. Zhang, it's really impossible to do it in ten days! Mr. Zhang! I can't do it... Wuwu..."

"Zhai Shen, we lost, we lost... Hua Guo lost!...Ah wuwuwuwu..."

Chen Zhenguo held his head, knelt on the ground, held his head in his hands, and cried loudly.

In just a moment, his voice became hoarse, and his hoarse voice was like the cry of a wounded beast.

When Zhang Zhai said he wanted to overthrow the Hou Yi and redesign it and build it again, he withstood the pressure.

When Zhang Zhai said that the Houyi spacecraft must be built as soon as possible, he still withstood the pressure.

When his workers told him that they wanted to surpass the United States and be the first to land on the moon this time, he once again withstood the pressure. He gritted his teeth, led by example, and led all the workers, day and night, day and night.

Working at night, I constantly push myself, and constantly shorten the time distance between me and the United States.

During the process, many workers fell, but he did not fall because he did not dare and could not.

But now, because of Zhang Zhai's words, he couldn't bear it and collapsed.

He lost the honor that all brothers deserve, he lost hope, and he collapsed!

If the anti-gravity box is Zhang Zhai’s honor,

The complete technical design of the anti-gravity spacecraft is a credit to all researchers,

So it was an honor for him and all those involved in the production to land the Houyi on the moon before the whole world.

But now, the honor is gone. He has lost the honor that all workers and everyone should have. He collapsed and cried bitterly.

…

Zhang Zhai squatted down and then pulled him up from the ground.

"We haven't lost yet, and China hasn't lost yet. We still have hope!" Zhang Zhai said firmly.

"Believe me!"

Zhang Zhai's last three words made Chen Zhenguo regain his calm.

He looked into Zhang Zhai's eyes and nodded heavily.

"Zhai Shen, I believe you."

…
