Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 834: Missions from the North
The next morning, the ark woke up in the morning, went to the bathroom to clean up, and picked up his handsome suit from Em's hand.
Today is a diplomatic occasion, and I think I'm going to be on CTV.
In order for fans in front of the TV to see a handsome self, the Ark took more than a decade to get a handsome haircut.
Standing in front of the mirror stinking for a while, it was late, and the ark came to the kitchen in a hurry to solve today's breakfast in a microwave oven, then went out and sat on the black red flag already waiting at the door, heading towards the space industrial park on the outskirts of Jinling.
Sitting in the back of the car, looking at the street view flashing through the car window, the ark suddenly remembered what Xuexi said yesterday and herself, and said.
“I'm going to change cars? ”
Wang Peng: “What car? ”
Ark: “Purely electric. ”
Wang Peng: “Is it safe? ”
Ark: “Check it out then. ”
Wang Peng nodded: “No problem. I'll run a battery for you when the new car arrives. ”
Ark: “… run a set of batteries? Are you sure?”
Wang Peng looked in the rear view mirror of the car and asked strangely: "… Is there a problem? ”
The ark coughed softly and said: “It's not a problem, mainly because the thing lasts more than 2,000 kilometers... are you sure you want to run out of a battery? ”
2,000 kilometers!
When he heard this number, Wang Peng, holding the steering wheel, was almost choked by his own spit.
Biting his teeth, he stubbornly said.
“Run, it's 2,000 kilometers! ”
Yes, it's just 2,000 kilometers.
That is, driving from Jinling to Shanghai, then sneaking back from Shanghai...
However, looking at this guy so stubborn, the ark is heartbroken.
2,000 kilometers...
I'm really going to finish all these two thousand kilometers, and the new car will be 90% new...
Less than half an hour's drive, the black red flag passed through the high-tech park from the Around Town Road to the newly built space industrial park located behind the high-tech park.
Strictly speaking, in terms of the division of administrative blocks, this part is actually an industry in high-tech parks, but is separately divided on the map only for ease of management.
Since the completion of the Jinling Space Launch Center, the entire space industry in Jinling City has grown at an incredible rate, with a strong trend towards Oriental Houston.
From satellites to spacecraft accessories, from heat sinks to space batteries, from state-owned giants to private companies, more than 500 companies are staying here, and all the accessories and even the components of the space module that are needed for the Huanqiao or Moon Palace space stations can be found here.
In a sense, the mission of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development set the first stop at Jinling, rather than going to Beijing. In addition to looking at the flourishing global space market, one of the more important reasons is to learn from the rise of China's space industry.
Russia has a huge space industry base, but in a depressed economic context, these are like a muscle that has lost its blood supply, but the emptiness is simply not available.
Now the world wants to catch the Chinese shuttle to space, in contrast to Russia, which is undoubtedly the closest...
Starry Sky Technology Building below.
A black red flag stopped at the door.
When he saw the ark coming out of the car, he stood next to the security guard and kept staring at the man's eyes and walked right this way.
“Master Lu, you're here!” Reaching out his right hand from afar, he shook his hand in the ark, and the man simply introduced himself, "My name is Chung Quan, I am the secretary of the minister's office, you can call me Xiao Zhong or Zhong secretary. ”
“The ark, the academician is the title, the professor is the professor, you don't have to call me Professor Lu," the ark laughed, continuing to ask, “Has the Russian mission arrived? ”
Zhong said with a smile: "It's early in the morning! Mr. Groov has been asking about you since he got off the plane, and he's been asking us if we could see you today. ”
Ask about me?
How embarrassing...
Thinking about that sneeze yesterday, the ark laughed embarrassingly and continued.
“Really? Then don't let our distant guests wait. Take me there. ”
The secretary made a gesture, please.
“This way, please! ”
Due to visits from foreign teams, the space industrial park was completely shut down today, but it was more lively when it stopped.
More than two dozen black commercial sedans parked neatly in the parking lot under the Startech building, a group of diplomats wearing Russian faces in suits, following Chinese diplomats and local officials in the footsteps, visited the reception hall of the Startech building.
It was also here that the Minister of Economic Development of Russia, Gruev, finally met the person he most wanted to see on his trip...
“Hello, Professor Lu! I'm Grosjev,” Holding onto the right hand of the ark, this bright, bright Russian man smiled softly and enthusiastically, “I always hear your name at a meeting of the Federal Space Agency, and it's a pleasure to finally meet you today. ”
Shaking Mr. Grosjev's right hand, Ark humbly smiled and said: "I dare not, it is also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Grosjev. ”
“I was quite impressed by your stewardship of the space industry and wondered if I would have the privilege of visiting your factory today. ”
Minister Yang, a handful of the Ministry of Commerce, glanced at the ark and cast his gaze at the interrogation. After seeing the ark nodded, he immediately had a bottom of his mind, said Minister Grosjev, who was standing next to him.
“Sure, come with me. ”
Startech's Space Assembly Center is also in the Space Industry Park, but the entire Space Industry Park was developed around Startech's Space Assembly Center.
As Groov himself requested, the pedestrians did not take the car, but walked all the way there.
Along the way, the sight of the Russian middle-aged man remained glued to the buildings on both sides of the street, with a shocking look in his silent eyes from time to time.
Without a hint of warning, he suddenly shouted with emotion and said with the ark next to him.
“… seeing everything here, I finally understand why you can create a world wonder like the Moon Palace. ”
The Ark laughed and said, "You can't talk about world wonders, the size of the International Space Station is not smaller than it is. ”
Groov shook his head: “The International Space Station was the result of a joint effort by dozens of countries that took more than a decade to finalize. And incredibly, in less than a year, you have completed what the international community needs to do in 10 years. If that's not a world wonder, I don't think there's anything else that could serve as a monument to human civilization in the twenty-first century. ”
Though knowing that the crude Russian man was kissing his own ass, the heart of the ark could not bear to indulge.
After all, the hair before the dissolution was one of the masters of space. After the dissolution, although it was not comparable to that of the past, the inherited heritage was able to eat the old one. It can be imagined how rich this technological heritage is.
Few people know that the "full flow graded combustion cycle” technology used by the "Raptor” liquid methane engines on Space-X's BFR rockets is on the RD-270 engines of the UR-700 rockets of the former Soviet Union.
Of course, it's cool to be dark, but it has to be accommodating.
Ark laughed and said modestly.
“Where, we just stood on the shoulders of giants. ”
Electric propulsion technology is reversed from the wreckage of higher civilizations, which is true in this sense, and so does the Ark.
It was just that Grosjev seemed to misunderstand the giant in the mouth of the ark, thinking of the former Soviet space industry's brilliance, some embarrassed without disrespect, laughed twice, so that Minister Yang could see at a glance, did not take up the topic without trace, so that the conversation did not get cold because Grosjev was unable to answer.
Despite such a minor episode, the relationship between the two sides was not affected by this. Grosjeff was not a petty man, he would not compare what had been said by an unspeakable scholar, and the gap between the status of the two sides at the international level had changed and he had lost his comparative position.
Especially space.
The centre of gravity of the space market was expanding from near-Earth orbit to Earth moon orbit, and Russia must be helped by China if it was to find a way out for its space industry.
If it weren't for strength, what else could have made a grumpy polar bear smooth?
I'm afraid there's no other reason.
