Chapter 591
Wang Yifei's Masterful Title Transfer! White Tofu, your childhood is over, flying i
"Big Fish Bro, you scared me to death! Humph, I'm angry. You have to coax me, or I won't forgive you."
Wang Yifei pouted unhappily, and the three little ones, including Bai Doufu, were equally unhappy.
Although it was a false alarm, hearing that someone had died was indeed quite frightening.
After all, Wang Duoyu has a lot of young people around him, and a significant portion of them are geniuses.
It would be a great pity if a young person were to die.
After a long while, Wang Duoyu finally managed to calm the children down.
But when it comes to acting skills, Liu Xiaoli wants to see Wang Yifei's acting skills.
Since the movie "Fast & Furious" is scheduled to start filming this summer, and global auditions have already begun, it would be interesting if Wang Yifei fails to pass the auditions.
Although Wang Yifei invested money in this movie, Hollywood blockbusters, especially A-list productions with huge budgets, still have very high requirements for the acting skills of the lead actors.
"What's the point of trying? I've already passed the audition. Besides, I still have three or four months to study the script. I'm sure I'll be fine."
The film is currently in the pre-production stage and filming will not take place until the summer, so Wang Yifei will definitely be ready and it will not affect the filming.
To avoid being watched by her family, Wang Yifei quickly changed the subject, talking about her second brother acquiring land to build a laboratory.
After the Spring Festival, Wang Junan had already cleared out a piece of land outside the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.
At this point in time, land outside Harbin Institute of Technology is extremely expensive, so it must have taken Wang Junan a lot of effort and money to acquire it.
After acquiring the land, he arranged for a design institute to conduct measurements and then provide a design plan.
Meanwhile, the construction team also began entering the site to carry out pre-construction preparations.
This laboratory must be quite large, and it may even have an underground section.
One supercomputer alone will consume nearly 60 percent of his budget.
And then there's the electricity bill!
Although electricity is cheap in Harbin, costing less than 30 cents per kilowatt-hour.
But this is, after all, electricity used within the city limits, and once the supercomputer is started, the costs will be substantial.
If he had continued to rely on himself, he might not have been able to sustain himself.
But at this moment, he still insisted that he could manage on his own and did not want to ask his father for money easily.
Wang Duoyu had seen through this long ago, but he remained silent.
Since the second son refused even his mother's money, it was even less likely that he would ask his father, Wang Duoyu, for money.
He's a bit too concerned about saving face!
The family sat and chatted for a while before the topic shifted to something else, and Wang Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, Bai Doufu brought the topic back.
She wanted to follow in her older sister's footsteps and become a child star.
"Your voice is fine for entertaining yourself at home, but don't go out and bother other people."
Liu Xiaoli immediately objected, because Bai Doufu has an ordinary person's voice and definitely can't sing.
"Mom, I sing really well, okay?"
White tofu is like a peddler praising his own wares.
The problem is that nobody agrees; no one in the family agrees.
Wang Duoyu frankly stated:
"We'll talk about it when you can get first place in the grade. You didn't even get second place in the junior high school entrance exam this year, so you can forget about having a summer vacation. You need to catch up on your studies. Your childhood is over!"
Ah!
The old father's words caused Bai Doufu to scream in agony.
But it was no use. No matter how much she tried to charm her, it had no effect and couldn't change the fact.
All the children in the family are considered smart, but in Wang Duoyu's opinion, only the brothers Wang Junxian and Wang Junan are relatively smart; the other children are just average.
March passed quickly amidst the hustle and bustle.
April is here, and the Qingming Festival is just around the corner.
Dahonggou Village was as lively as in previous years, with the descendants of the Wang family who had been scattered elsewhere all returning.
"Third Brother, how have you been feeling lately?"
Back in the village, Wang Duoyu went to visit his third brother.
This year is 2004. His third brother, Wang Duozhi, is already eighty years old, but he is still in good health.
It's unclear whether it's because he has many children and grandchildren, especially his third son, Wang Jianchao, who has married many wives and had many children.
Furthermore, Wang Jianchao is about to become a grandfather, which makes Wang Duozhi very happy. Every extra day he lives is an extra day he gains.
After all, he lived several years longer than his older brother.
"Very good, I'm doing very well."
Wang Duoyu smiled and exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Because Wang Duoyu is already of the grandfather generation, and his third brother is even of the great-grandfather generation, or even an ancestor.
After all, his eldest nephew, Wang Xiangqian, who is the eldest grandson of the Wang family, became a great-grandfather at the beginning of this year.
Yes, Wang Xiangqian's grandson, Wang Yongxia, got married last year and had a son this year.
On the other side, Wang Jun'an waved to his sister Wang Yifei, calling her over.
"Sissi, I remember you were also born in 1987, right? You're seventeen this year, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Wang Yifei, with a pretty single ponytail, smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Wang Yongxia, who was sitting next to her second brother, laughed and said, "Grandma, Grandpa An wanted to say that I am the same age as you, but I am already married, while you have never been in a relationship."
Wang Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "So what? Everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits. Everyone has their own desired life, so it's normal."
Of course she knew about Wang Yongxia's marriage (well, they just had a banquet, but didn't register the marriage), but her second brother was so busy that he probably only found out now.
In the Wang family, only Wang Duoyu's eldest brother's lineage has the fastest transmission.
The second generation consists of Wang Xiangqian, Wang Xiangtong, Wang Xiaoai, Wang Xianghua, Wang Xiangkang, Wang Xiaoqin, and Wang Xiangjun. The third generation has more members.
Wang Xiangqian's son, Wang Honglie, was already fifteen years old in 1978.
The year Wang Duoyu first traveled through time was 1978, when he was twenty-two years old.
Wang Honglie got married and had children in 1987. His first child was Wang Yongxia. It is perfectly understandable that he got married and had children at the age of 24.
However, when it came to Wang Yongxia, the fast-forward button was pressed again.
For some reason, his girlfriend was already six months pregnant before it was discovered.
Or perhaps it's that his girlfriend wanted to marry into the Wang family.
Or perhaps they are afraid of being discovered by their parents.
That's why his girlfriend didn't announce her pregnancy until she was six months along.
The reason they were able to keep it a secret was that Wang Yongxia's girlfriend was 1.75 meters tall with a large frame, and she was pregnant in winter, so her pregnancy wasn't very noticeable.
In the end, they had to hastily hold a wedding banquet and have this child.
If Wang Duoyu's elder brother, Wang Shouchang, were still alive, he would be living with five generations under one roof: Wang Shouchang, Wang Xiangqian, Wang Honglie, Wang Yongxia, and Wang Luxiao. "He's already calling you 'Great-Auntie,' so wouldn't his son have to call you 'Great-Great-Grand-Auntie'?"
Wang Junan's face was filled with disbelief, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
His sister, however, seemed completely unconcerned.
"Isn't this normal?"
"But the problem is, he's the same age as you, and he has a child so early. This..."
The brother and sister discussed this issue, but Wang Yongxia was so embarrassed that he scratched his toes on the ground.
Unlike Wang Jun'an and his siblings, he was a poor student and couldn't concentrate on his studies. Well, mainly because his family was wealthy, he had long been blinded by the allure of the outside world.
If you can't concentrate on studying, you'll just end up doing random things out of boredom.
Unfortunately, there was a 'role model' like Wang Jianchao in the family, so it's not surprising that Wang Yongxia went astray.
Many elders in the Wang family hope that their children can learn from Wang Duoyu's children, especially Wang Junhong, who is a role model for all the young people in the family.
But while that's the idea, whether it can be put into practice is another matter.
"It's time to pay respects to our ancestors!"
At that moment, someone outside shouted something, and everyone sprang into action.
During the Qingming Festival, when people pay respects to their ancestors, all the young people in the Wang family returned, except for Wang Junkang.
Because Wang Junkang is still in the army defending the country and cannot come back.
This year, the Wang family's ancestral worship procession has grown considerably. Wang Duoyu glanced at it and saw many young people calling him uncle, great-uncle, or similar terms, but he didn't recognize them.
It's not that I don't recognize them, but I haven't seen them for half a year, or even a year or two. The children grow up quickly and change a lot, so of course I don't remember them.
This isn't a matter of good or bad memory.
The ancestral worship ceremony followed the same procedures as in previous years, including burning incense, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and performing rituals.
Holding her youngest daughter, Wang Duoyu stood on the outer edge of the crowd, silently watching the young people burn incense and others offer sacrifices such as roosters and roast suckling pigs for ancestral worship.
The brothers Wang Junhong and Wang Junan, along with the sisters Wang Yifei and Bai Doufu, were also helping out.
Every household needs to prepare offerings, incense, candles, and the like.
The disassembled firecrackers, thousands upon thousands of firecracker balls, were piled up together, forming a small mountain.
Fireworks were also placed in specific locations.
After everything was done, the crowd dispersed, and then the fire was lit.
clap clap clap!
Loud firecrackers went off in front of the cemetery on the small hill. The children were so frightened that they covered their ears and hid behind them. Some of the boys who weren't afraid tried to go forward, but their parents pulled them away.
After all, firecrackers are still quite dangerous.
Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin, the siblings, were screaming, not out of fear, but out of excitement.
The two children are four years old this year. They can run and jump. Just now they were willing to let their father hold them, but now that Wang Sixin has seen this scene, she just wants to play.
Thick smoke billowed up, enveloping a small patch of sky nearby.
The smoke generated by so many firecrackers was indeed considerable.
And fireworks, setting off fireworks in broad daylight, well, actually it's even more beautiful.
After paying respects to our ancestors, the Qingming Festival is almost over.
The whole family gathered together for lunch, and after that, the Qingming Festival was truly over.
The next day, Wang Duoyu and his family returned to Bingcheng. After returning to Bingcheng, Wang Duoyu asked Liu Xiaoli and the others for leave, preparing to go into seclusion for a period of time.
"How long are you going to go into seclusion?"
"The shortest time is one month, the longest is uncertain, maybe two months?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli opened her mouth in surprise, then waved her hand.
Since she couldn't stop him anyway, she might as well just let him go into seclusion openly.
Wang Yifei, however, was clinging to her father's arm:
"Big Fish, are you planning something big again?"
"Yes, but I can't tell you!"
"Brother Big Fish, we're such good friends, why didn't you tell me?"
"You're not a researcher, so you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."
White Tofu chimed in, "Dad, don't worry about your work. I'll definitely work hard, and when you come back, I'll surprise you!"
"Stop it. Just follow the rules and attend classes properly. Don't cause any trouble, or your summer vacation will be over, and no amount of pleading will help."
There were also two little ones, Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin, who pestered their father for a long time before he finally let them go.
After saying goodbye to his family, Wang Duoyu headed straight for Ali's camp.
This launch also took place here.
The base's leader was already waiting at the command center, along with several other leaders from Beijing, all of whom were very worried.
Prior to launch, the spacecraft underwent multiple safety checks, and the team at the Ali camp had conducted more than twenty such launches, making them highly experienced.
Even Wang Duoyu himself underwent several years of special training for this space mission.
On the morning of the launch, the sky above Ali camp was clear and cloudless.
As the appointed time arrived, Wang Duoyu set off for the spaceship to say his final goodbyes to the staff.
They then boarded the spacecraft and waited for launch.
Five astronauts accompanied him to the moon; they were on an escort mission this time.
"Ten, nine, eight, five, four, three, two, one, start!"
The spacecraft slowly left the launch tower and flew into the sky.
Launching from a plateau at an altitude of over 4,000 meters is relatively simpler.
Moreover, the weather is so good today; even God is giving Wang Duoyu face.
Shortly after, the spacecraft successfully entered the atmosphere and arrived at its near-Earth orbit position, where the International Space Station is located.
This position isn't enough; we need to continue flying outside Earth and escape Earth's gravity.
Furthermore, the spacecraft's speed has rapidly accelerated to the second cosmic velocity, which is the minimum speed required for a spacecraft to escape Earth's gravitational field.
That is 11.2 km per second.
However, this speed is clearly not enough, and we need to continue to accelerate.
The spaceship developed by Wang Duoyu and his team can reach a minimum speed of Mach 30 and can accelerate further to Mach 39.
However, it hasn't reached Mach 40 yet.
As is well known, the first cosmic velocity is about Mach 23.2, which is based on its standard value of 7.9 km/s. The second cosmic velocity is about 33 times the speed of sound, or Mach 33.
In other words, the speed of the spacecraft is neither the best nor the worst.
