Go to the Grassroots in the New Year丨Who is the "Lin Haiming" heard during the space mission? Where are they?

CCTV news:

Chang'e's lunar exploration, Zhurong's fire exploration, space station construction... In every space mission, we can always hear a familiar password - "Beijing understands", and there are many passwords in dialogue with "Beijing" There is a sentence in "Lin Hai understands". Who is "Lin Hai"? Where are they?

　　"Lin Hai" is the code name of the Jiamusi Deep Space Station of the Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center. The password "Lin Hai understands" we heard during the space launch came from here. It was built in a forest farm far away from the city. There is a large birch forest here, hence the name "Linhai".

　　This equipment that looks like a "cauldron" is currently the largest measurement and control antenna in Asia and is mainly used to receive data from the moon and Mars probes. Recently, astronauts at the Jiamusi Deep Space Station are busy preparing for the Chang'e-6 mission in 2024. In the early morning, the temperature here had dropped to about minus 30 degrees Celsius. The reporter followed Yue Shilei and his colleagues and filmed them doing a routine inspection of the antenna.

　　This "big pot" is more than 50 meters high. The reporter did not dare to look at the ground while climbing, but Yue Shilei felt as if he was walking on flat ground.

Yue Shilei of Jiamusi Deep Space Station of Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center:

At least once a day, and more than ten times a day during installation joint testing.

Reporter:

Are you tired from climbing so many times?

Yue Shilei, Jiamusi Deep Space Station, Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center:

I'm used to climbing.

　　Yue Shilei has persisted in this habit for 12 years. In 2012, after the deep space station was completed, Yue Shilei became the first batch of people to manage this "big pot".

Yue Shilei, Jiamusi Deep Space Station of Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center:

At that time, I was busy with equipment installation and joint testing, but I actually adapted very quickly.

　　Yue Shilei said he adapted quickly because he has witnessed the rapid development of China's aerospace industry in recent years. In the past 12 years, China's aerospace industry has moved from the earth to the moon and from the moon to Mars. What impressed him most was China's first exploration of Mars.

　　On May 15, 2021, the red planet Mars ushered in a Chinese spacecraft, which was a brand new challenge for Yue Shilei. At that time, Mars was 200 million kilometers away from the earth, and it took 27 minutes for the earth to receive the signal. Yue Shilei was the person responsible for receiving the signal from Mars.

Yue Shilei, Jiamusi Deep Space Station of Xi'an Satellite Measurement and Control Center:

When the signal came back, I relaxed and felt paralyzed.

　　This move made China the second country in the world to successfully land on Mars, and China's aerospace industry also achieved a historical leap from the Earth-Moon system to the interplanetary system.

　　Yue Shilei's aerospace achievements have brought him full of pride and pride, and he also enjoys the glory this career has given him. He said that this "big pot" was like his child, and he also gave his son a name related to aerospace - Yue Muhang.

　　During these years at the Jiamusi Deep Space Station, Yue Shilei rarely went home to celebrate the New Year. During the Spring Festival of 2024, he brought his wife and children to the station.

　　During the few days of interviews, the reporter found that both Yue Shilei and his wife had a common characteristic - they spoke very little and were not good at words. Especially during the interview, Yue Shilei's wife's answers were even less than the reporters' questions. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they can stick here all year round.

　　They are not the only ones willing to stay here, there are actually many young people, the youngest of whom are in their early 20s, and the average age is only 27 years old. In the past few days, although the temperature in Jiamusi has been minus 30 degrees Celsius, the reporter felt a warm and youthful atmosphere.

　　Although you are far away from the city, you can’t miss the flavor of the New Year. At the end of the day's work, these young people sat together and sang a song they composed themselves-"White Birch Forest". As the lyrics say, although it is lonely here, it is the starting point for them to "knead" their ideals into space.
