48: Chapter 48 With the full strength of the nation, Project Nantianmen is officially launched!

The next morning, Lin Mo took some elite personnel and boarded a special plane again, heading to the "Qilian Satellite Launch Center" located in Huang Province.

The Qilian Satellite Launch Center is a comprehensive aerospace industrial park, covering a total area of hundreds of thousands of mu.

It is significantly larger than an ordinary Chinese county.

It really is like a small town inside, with buses, hospitals, supermarkets, and even schools, which is why people also call it "Tianshan Aerospace City"!

Within the launch center park, there are numerous aerospace bases, including various missile and satellite launch pads, as well as research bases for developing various aerospace components.

The main project site for the Nantianmen Project is located right in the middle of the Qilian Center, inside the largest No. 1 Aerospace Test Base!

More than two hours later, the group arrived at the launch center's tarmac.

To Lin Mo's surprise, three top-level leaders from the China Supreme Military Region had actually come!

This showed how much the China Supreme Military Region valued the "Nantianmen Project".

"Comrade Lin Mo, did you get a good rest during this vacation?" The leader shook hands with Lin Mo and said with a smile.

Lin Mo joked, "My bones were itching; I've been wanting to come and do research for a long time!"

"Hahaha! You kid!" the leader laughed.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian, the Chief Designer of China's technological development, took over and said, "Comrade Lin Mo,"

"All the requirements for the Nantianmen Project have basically been prepared over these seven days. I hope all our hard work this week wasn't for nothing!"

Lin Mo nodded solemnly and replied, "Please rest assured!"

General Yun Feijie of the Air Force pointed to the southeast and said, "Let's go, let's head to the aerospace base together!"

Guided by the staff, the group took a shuttle bus to the aerospace research base in the center of the launch center.

As soon as they entered the base, Lin Mo and his party were shocked by the scene inside.

In the vast space of tens of thousands of square meters, there were countless high-end engineering equipment and machinery!

There were giant mechanical towers tens of meters high, giant gantry cranes weighing over ten thousand tons... and countless researchers and engineers busy at work.

The base was divided into areas based on modules; not only were there research areas for equipment like fighter jets, rockets, and satellites, but also research areas for components such as aerospace launchers and rocket engines.

On the north wall of the aerospace base, there was a huge banner with white characters on a blue background, which read "Nantianmen Project"!

As soon as the group entered the base, several project leaders were already waiting.

Three of them were acquaintances of Lin Mo.

Academician Lan Mingcheng, Director of the Materials Physics Research Center, came up to greet them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect we would have a chance to cooperate so soon, hahaha!"

Standing beside him was Xiang Guangming, Director of the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute, and Professor Ai Chongfeng, Lin Mo's mentor, who is the current Chief Designer of the National Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute.

"Mentor, Academician Lan, Academician Xiang!" Lin Mo greeted them with a smile.

The core of this Nantianmen Project is to develop the Aerospace Fighter.

The two most critical technologies are alloy materials and power engines.

These happen to be the main research directions of the research institutes where these two academicians work.

Professor Ai Chongfeng patted Lin Mo's shoulder and touched Ren Xueyi's little head, feeling incredibly satisfied.

He learned that the most significant scientific research project in China right now, the "Nantianmen Project" being carried out with the power of the whole nation, actually came from the hands of Lin Mo.

He suddenly felt the thrill of buying a lottery ticket on a whim and winning 100 million!

"Comrade Li Jingwu, you go ahead and make the introductions," the leader said.

General Li Jingwu nodded and began to introduce several high-level leaders to Lin Mo; these people would also assist him in his work.

First was a middle-aged man in uniform standing in the middle of the crowd.

"This is Ye Xiangtian, Chairman of our China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation."

Ye Xiangtian greeted him, "Chief Designer Lin, all the basic materials and personnel for the Nantianmen Project are provided by our Aerospace Science and Technology Group. If you need anything during your work later, please let me know at any time!"

"Thank you, Chairman Ye!" Lin Mo thanked him.

General Li Jingwu continued to introduce the second person.

It was an old man with white hair wearing a white research coat.

"This is Chief Engineer Peng Yu, the Chief Designer of our China Aerospace Administration."

"Many of our Chinese aerospace technologies, including manned spaceflight, lunar rovers, space stations, etc., all contain his hard work."

Chief Engineer Peng Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Chief Engineer Peng. Now Comrade Lin Mo is the only Chief Designer. According to the job arrangements, just call me Chief Engineer Peng."

Speaking of this, Chief Engineer Peng Yu smiled and shook his head, "Chief Designer Lin, you and the two brothers in my family really have quite a fate!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was a bit confused.

When did he meet this leader's brother?

General Li Jingwu explained, "Chief Engineer Peng's younger brother is Dean Peng Hao of Shuimu University, whom you have met before."

"You have taken the Chief Designer position from both brothers of the Peng family in two consecutive projects. If this isn't fate, what is?"

So that was it... Lin Mo suddenly understood.

These past few days, he had also learned about Peng Hao's situation from General Li Jingwu.

Lin Mo looked at the leaders in surprise.

For such an important project, arranging the brother of a sworn enemy to be his deputy?

Was it because they thought his life was too easy?

Fearing that Lin Mo would misunderstand, Chief Engineer Peng Yu quickly spoke up, "Chief Designer Lin, please don't misunderstand. I have always had a lot of objections to Peng Hao's philosophy, and we have argued many times because of it."

"The fact that Peng Hao was able to pull back from the brink in time, cut off contact with Eagle Country, and still keep his position and benefits," "is really thanks to you!"

"Moreover, being able to participate in such a large-scale national scientific research project as the second-in-command is already a sign of the organization's trust. Even if there are major personal issues, they must be put aside!"

"From the first day I devoted myself to scientific research forty years ago, I have had this realization!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was somewhat moved.

This is the big-picture view and breadth of mind of the older generation of scientific researchers!

Therefore, Lin Mo said respectfully, "Chief Engineer Peng, you have devoted all your efforts and hard work to China's aerospace industry and have made great contributions. It is I who should be thanking you!"

Under General Li Jingwu's introduction, the remaining few were also introduced one by one.

After everyone chatted for a few sentences, the staff gathered all the scientific research personnel and concentrated them in the open space in the center of the research base.

The leader said, "Let's prepare to start the project launch meeting!"

All the high-level officials boarded the high platform in order.

The leader, representing the China Supreme Military Region, announced the official launch of the "Nantianmen Project".

This project will be led by Lin Mo, with the position of Chief Designer!

Chief Engineer Peng Yu is announced as the second person in charge, with the position of Chief Engineer!

It is announced that the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group will fully guarantee all logistical affairs for the Nantianmen Project!

Amidst the applause, China's "Nantianmen Project" was launched in full swing!
