Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 886: Holy Land of the Space Industry

On the third day after New Year's Day, the festival atmosphere had faded from Jinling Space Industry Park, and workers returning from vacation had begun work.

The doors of the factories have been opened, and small, medium and large logistics trucks travel on the park's vast highways, one car entering the park's raw materials, and one car exporting distant parts, like nutritious blood, are pumped into the limbs of China's aerospace industry by this vibrant heart, making the rising giant stronger.

Located in the heart of the entire industrial park, in the high-walled Jinling Space Assembly Center, situated in a spacious factory in all directions.

In the plant, a metal hull divided into three sections is lying quietly on a scaffold as if it were a skeleton.

It has certainly become a pilgrimage site for the world space industry, and that lying hull, like a saint's coffin, attracts the attention of all astronauts around the world.

Especially like Boeing, Space-X and Airbus, world-renowned spacefaring companies that have come to the forefront in their respective domains, are willing to give up billions or even tens of billions of orders to collaborate with Startech just to get engineers here to take a look.

At this moment, a group of foreign experts are standing next to the shell of the Magpie Bridge and are surprised to steal whispers, pointing to the mechanical cantilever on either side of the plant from time to time.

“God… how are you going to get it into space? ”

The Chinese engineer standing next to him did not respond, but just stood behind his hands.

Nothing was asked, and the foreign expert was obviously unwilling, so he deliberately used a provocative tone to provoke and say.

“This rectangular hull is fatally flawed, and you haven't considered what happens if a meteorite strikes you? There is also a metallic cold welding effect in hypervacuum cryogenic environments, where the increased thrust will increase the risk of infinite decomposition of the hull. ”

Engineers with helmets still stood beside them, with a polite smile on their faces, all the more indifferent to the complaints of these foreign experts.

It took half a day not to get useful information from the engineers here, and the faces of foreign experts showed disappointment.

Especially the white expert with the beard, who had previously proposed the cold welding effect, complained angrily.

“Damn... Aren't you going to argue? ”

This time, the engineer, who had been smiling silently, finally spoke.

“There's nothing to argue about, we speak with strength. Unless you can build one exactly the same, I can totally be when you're farting. ”

“ …… ”

Looking at the group of foreign experts expressing their dissatisfaction, Director Li, who was also inspecting the plant, looked at his secretary and asked.

“Who are those people? What are they doing? ”

In contrast to Director Li, the secretary's English was still very good, hesitating to explain.

“The foreign experts… seem to be picking a problem. ”

“Pick a problem?” Director Lee's eyebrows were picked, his expression was weird, and he almost didn't make a sound, “and they were too embarrassed to pick our problems? ”

If someone had told him that before, he might not have believed it. After all, two years ago, China's space industry was not strong enough to be proud of itself, and the opinions of foreign experts had to be listened to in vain.

But now, as the only country in the world that has mature, controllable fusion technology and uses controllable fusion and electrical propulsion technology on spacecraft, is someone else qualified to come and teach them how to design a spacecraft?

This isn't a joke.

“Picking the problem is second, and they're afraid to mainly come from us. But their methods don't seem very smart, and excitement doesn't work for us. ”

Coming from the side, Hou Guang, director of the Institute of Space Studies of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, smiled and explained, reaching out his right hand to Director Li, "Welcome Director Li to the Space Assembly Center for guidance, you should let me know in advance, I can also prepare for the greeting in advance. ”

“What are you coaching? What can I coach you with? I didn't tell you in advance because I was worried about interrupting your work.” Director Li grinned and shook Weihuang's hand, or he looked at the foreign experts with some relief, "You know they're here to spy on intelligence, why are you letting them in? ”

“This is a request from our partners, because to ensure the safety of the goods, we cannot always keep them out because of this little thing," Weishuang smiled less carelessly, continuing in a relaxed tone, "let alone technology that can be seen at a glance, has no meaning of secrecy. Our real core technology is at the Institute of Advanced Studies, so don't say they can't get in there, and even if they do experiments in front of them, they don't necessarily know what we're doing. ”

In fact, this is where competitors are most annoyed.

They spent a great deal of money negotiating cooperation, sending engineers here for tours in the name of "safety checks" and all they saw was a pile of scrap iron with no technical content.

Yes, these things are equally valuable, and there's a lot of scholarship in them, but they're no different from scrap iron.

After all, they do not have the preconditions to use this "big brick” design route until they think about how to miniaturize controlled nuclear fusion and mount it on a spacecraft.

Director Li sighed softly at the expression of envy on the faces of those foreign engineers.

“I had no idea we were going to have someone hang their brains to steal our technology. ”

And she laughed and said, "Yeah, sometimes I wonder, it's like a dream. ”

Looking at the group of foreign experts moving from the side of the scaffold to the next “attraction," he paused for a moment and continued.

“We are currently bidding on NASA's 500-ton MTR mission, and if not surprisingly, our offer will be more than 20% cheaper than Space-X. This is the most suitable bidding solution, which has been studied by experts on our side. If the bid succeeds, it will be able to absorb at least $10 billion in excess space capacity. It's just...”

Director Li: “Just what? Let me know if there are any difficulties outside of technology, and I'll find a way to help you. ”

“... no, you misunderstood, there is no difficulty, we are fine now. I just wanted to say, unfortunately, now that Master Lu is putting the focus of his work on mathematics,” Wei Guang sighed softly, some nostalgia said, “To be honest, I really miss it a little, the feeling of standing alongside Master Lu on the front lines of the scientific research front. Many times we exchange some data, some ideas, and he can quickly give me a workable idea, and I'm going to argue it professionally, no matter what. ”

When he heard that, Director Li sighed and said.

“Such things cannot be imposed, and the Master Lu has his own business to do. Nor can we always ask for him and always give us his strength. ”

“You're right, we can't always rely on him,” Hou Guangguang nodded, rekindled his energy, laughed and said, "Looks like I have to work hard on my side. Now that I've built such a great advantage, I can't fail Master Lu's dedication. ”

Director Li nodded with a smile.

“You go busy, I'll go somewhere else later. If you meet Professor Lu, say hello to him for me. ”

“Okay.” Swinging his hand, Wei Guang fastened his helmet to his head and turned back to work.

Looking at Hou Guang with his helmet and turning away, looking at the magpie bridge, which is about to be completed, and looking at this busy factory, Director Li's face revealed a sense of comfort and admiration.

China's aerospace industry is sailing towards more distant starry skies, and everything is moving in the right direction.

See this moment in your lifetime.

I always felt like I had nothing to regret in my life.
