Chapter 757 It's Her Again (Second Update)
This project is destined to fail in failure before it can succeed. Liu Hai didn't think that the first wave would succeed.
Of course, the principle is simple to say, that is, to let the rocket's control computer understand what state it is in, how to use the thrusters below, and how much force to use to stabilize the rocket in the air.
And let the rocket's control computer understand when to land, how fast to land, and where to land.
Even later, Max was not the first to succeed. Once, there was a problem with the speed control during the descent, causing the entire rocket to squat at the landing point, and then causing damage to the rocket.
This is the control computer, which didn't understand what state it was in and thought it should shut down, but it was actually a little distance from the ground.
This kind of test is not actually very dangerous, because the fuel in it is limited, and the remaining fuel must reach a certain safety level before landing.
It is a bit similar to the landing of a civil aircraft, that is, there is a safe fuel reserve.
Civil airliners do not say that they are filled with fuel every time, but according to the amount of fuel required for their own range, plus a safe amount of fuel.
In 2020, Fat Goose is still the best in this field. Although Max is in the news more often, everyone knows where his technology comes from.
In 2020, there are only four launch vehicles in the world, Bald Eagle, we have the European Space Agency, and Fat Goose. The European Space Agency has actually fallen behind. After 2000, their Ariane rockets experienced several failures, and finally cooperated with Fat Goose.
Even many satellites of the Galileo satellite navigation system were sent into space by Fat Goose's Soyuz rocket.
As for the transportation of materials and personnel to the International Space Station, they are all Soyuz, so Liu Hai is very curious. If Bald Eagle and Fat Goose completely break up later, how can they send people to the International Space Station, and what about the materials needed for the International Space Station.
And the core module and power module of the International Space Station are all from Fat Goose.
And Max's business philosophy is correct. His satellite launch company forced the European Space Agency to develop new launch vehicles.
As for why we didn't learn Max's thinking, right?
The answer is of course no.
As a commercial company, Marx's company should focus on performance and cost, and make the stock market optimistic about it.
And we can't say that we can learn from him for commercial interests, streamline the staff and cut factories.
As you all know, there was an incident where one person was laid off, which caused problems in two rocket launches.
So if we want to lay off employees, guess who will leave?
Besides, it is easy to lay off employees, but it is more difficult to gather these people together.
Although the organization is indeed a bit bloated, it must be said that it is necessary for the country to retain sufficient staff.
And in terms of the cost of rocket launches, there is a huge cost gap between China and the West.
The country seeks stability, not maximization of benefits. When Liu Hai traveled through time, it seems that there were already two private rocket companies doing this.
To be honest, as long as we are willing to open up technology to domestic private companies like the bald eagle, Liu Hai's private company can play with flowers.
Look at the extent to which private companies have played with drones, to the extent that the military has taken a fancy to them.
This is actually because industrial technology has reached a certain level of strength, and of course there is education. After all, millions of college graduates continue to pour into the market every year.
Which country has millions of college graduates like this? Don’t say that studying is useless. College students are the soil for such high-tech things.
No matter how low the level of some college students is, and how fake the academic qualifications of some masters and doctors are, the base number is so large.
Of course, Liu Hai’s research is destined to be difficult, and the difficulty lies in control.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, Liu Hai packed up and went off work.
Kyoto was already very cold at the end of November, but after staying in a heated room for a long time, I felt refreshed when I went out to breathe in the air conditioning.
Although it was only 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it was getting dark, so Liu Hai drove home.
The eldest and the second child had already finished school and were doing homework in their rooms. The third child was sitting in front of the TV, ready to watch cartoons.
There was a cartoon after 6 o'clock every afternoon, with Astro Boy, Avanti, Kung Fu Panda, Transformers, and Gundam.
"Dad!" Little Pomegranate greeted Liu Hai after seeing him come back, and turned his head to look at the TV.
"Yeah." Liu Hai hummed. The third child didn't want to be a scientist or a pilot, but wanted to feed red pandas and giant pandas.
Every time he went out to play, he wanted to go to Wuxing Park to play with red pandas, mainly because giant pandas were hard to get close to.
Unlike the eldest child, the second child said when he was young that he wanted to be a pilot and a scientist. Of course, sometimes he had to drive a tank and sometimes he had to drive a warship.
The third child has already gone to kindergarten. The kindergarten in the factory has a longer time, the longest one is several years, and it has the nature of a nursery.
After all, there is no one to take care of children in a dual-income family, so in order to solve this problem, the factory has a special nursery kindergarten.
Liu Hai looked at the eldest and second children again, and then sat on the sofa.
When the cartoon started, the third child hurried to knock on the door: "Big sister, second brother!"
After knocking on the door, he came back and sat down, and then the eldest and second brother also ran out to watch cartoons.
Today, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse were playing. Liu Hai had no idea when these cartoons were played in history.
Junior sister came back later, after the cartoons were over.
After dinner, the junior sister said: "Our gene in vitro amplification technology has been tested and mature. This time we mainly used a kind of..."
"Have you published a paper?" Liu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the PCR technology, which was invented in 1985 and has been widely used later.
The DNA identification of criminals that we are familiar with uses this technology.
There are also molecular cloning, sequence analysis, gene mutation, genetic diseases, infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, forensic identification and archaeological research, etc. The inventor won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993, which means that the junior sister may also win this award at that time.
Although their awards sometimes seem like a joke, such as the Peace Prize, we have to admit their influence.
"Hehe, we are going to send all the papers together and ask them to publish a special journal."
"With this technology, it will be very helpful to fight criminals. Criminals can be identified through trace amounts of DNA, and some old cases can be solved to a large extent. Our laboratory has done relevant tests." Junior sister smiled.
Liu Hai looked at the smiling junior sister, kissed her cheek and said, "Good job."
"I think it's still your luck. The direction you chose is correct..."
Liu Hai also smiled when he heard this. This is not his own credit, but the credit of the novel author.
Junior sister's invention directly reached the level of 1988 in history.
In 1985, the inventor invented this technology. Its polymerase will fail at a certain temperature. For example, the polymerase of Escherichia coli will fail at 90 degrees.
The heat-stable DNA polymerase extracted from aquatic thermophilic bacteria isolated from hot spring water in 1988 is not inactivated during heat denaturation treatment. It is not necessary to add new enzymes in each cycle of amplification, and it can react continuously at a higher temperature.
There are many hot springs in our country, and there are hot springs in Liu Hai's hometown, but Liu Hai still suggested that the junior sister collect this DNA polymerase in the high-temperature hot springs in Tengchong, which is also mentioned in the novel.
"That proves that you and I are both lucky, but if I choose the wrong direction next time, don't blame me if you fail." Liu Hai said with a smile.
"Of course not, failure in scientific experiments is common, and success is luck." The junior sister now has a deep understanding of scientific research, especially drug research.
"Well, it's good that you have this mentality. As a head of the family, you must be able to accept failure calmly." Liu Hai nodded.
"I want to take out a sum of money this time and reward these researchers heavily."
"You decide on this, they are all your people." Liu Hai felt that this approach was right. Although he chose the research direction, the specific way to do it was still the hard work of the people below.
Besides, he knew nothing about this industry, and he just occasionally showed his mouth.
"Do you want to pay?" The junior sister looked at the senior brother with a smile.
"Pay!" Liu Hai of course has to pay. The higher the reputation of the drug research institute is now, the more senior talents can be attracted.
For these senior talents, the salary is only a few dollars. The key is the dividends and rewards after the success of the research project, which is directly financial freedom.
Now it is useless to want to pay these foreign senior talents, because the same research institute cannot have two kinds of salary, but who would be willing to come to your place to get that little salary for foreigners.
Of course, this also further screens those who want to get a salary. They must have confidence in the project and be sure of the success of the project before they dare to come to the institute of the junior sister.
As long as there are research results and patents, then there will be financial freedom and enjoy life.
"Thank you!"
"What can we say thank you for."
After the master's wife packed up the little third child, she was very happy to hear that the junior sister's research institute was going to produce research results again.
The master's wife said that she felt a little aggrieved. After all, the contributions of the two men in the family were already great, but they could not be made public. Only the daughter was left with an international reputation, which was more or less comforting.
Although my sister-in-law also knew that Liu Hai and Zhu Haiyang were both contributing to the country, she still had some other ideas in her heart.
Everyone pursues fame and success, so it is not surprising for Zhu Haiyang to return to his hometown every year.
Of course, Zhu Haiyang's reputation is far worse than that of his daughter. Everyone in his hometown knows that his daughter is already an international celebrity.
In December 1982, the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine came to Kyoto in person. In recent years, Nature magazine has also been influenced by some emerging journals, especially some scientific journals on the Bald Eagle side.
Last time, my sister-in-law published a special issue in The Lancet, but the content of this issue is more suitable for Nature, so my sister-in-law contacted this journal.
The editors-in-chief of these magazines and journals are actually paying attention to top research institutes.
So the research institute of my junior sister has produced important research results and intends to publish them in Nature magazine, so the editor-in-chief came directly by plane.
Being able to be the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine requires a high level of knowledge and a better understanding of the application prospects of PCR technology than anyone else.
As for the authenticity of these papers, there is definitely no problem, because in the editor-in-chief's impression, the Eastern big country, whether it is an individual or a country, still attaches great importance to reputation.
Unlike some countries later, some papers published by no one can repeat the experiment.
Originally, these papers were to be sent by mail, because this would largely avoid some disputes.
So these papers were also sent to Nature magazine by air express.
All the people in the editorial department worked overtime and sorted out all the papers in three days. Among them, a lot of new words were added, which gave the editor a headache.
At the same time, the editor-in-chief had a new evaluation of the strength of my junior sister's research institute.
On the eve of Christmas in 1982, Nature magazine suddenly published a special issue of the journal, and the first page of the journal was written as "gene".
All scientists are curious about the special issues of these scientific magazines.
Even on Christmas, many people are waiting for this special issue.
On the cover of the journal is an image of a gene, and then the word "gene" appears inside the journal.
Everyone understands that this special journal is related to genes.
After opening the journal, everyone saw the name of a familiar research institute, because the little blue pill has become popular all over the world.
Of course, the little blue pill brings more benefits to those researchers. Last year, Western media reported that the main researchers of the little blue pill received a patent dividend of tens of millions a year.
Converted into US dollars and pounds, it is also more than one million. In the eyes of any researcher, this is a huge fortune.
Of course, more people want to repeat the experiment, but it is difficult to find a heat-resistant polymerase in a short time, so they can only ask the institute of the junior sister for this heat-resistant polymerase.
Some anxious institutions directly flew to Kyoto to ask for this heat-resistant polymerase.
At this time, domestic journals were also reporting related papers.
The name of the junior sister once again appeared in the eyes of people all over the world, especially the identity and age of the junior sister as a woman, she can control such a high-end and huge laboratory.
In early 1983, there were laboratories that made the same results according to the PCR paper, and these laboratories were all laboratories of some well-known universities.
Simply publishing a paper is useless. It is necessary to be able to repeat the experiment and get the results in order to be recognized.
With the confirmation of the repeatability of the experiment by the laboratories of top universities, the results of the research of the junior sister were completely locked.
At this time, the junior sister's research institute revealed that it would reward PCR-related researchers with a maximum of 2 million RMB, and the total prize money this time reached 30 million RMB.
The researchers in the junior sister's research institute were all concerned about the world, and they felt their heartbeats speeding up. Therefore, some people who were sure of their research hurriedly wrote plans, and some even flew directly to Kyoto.
Fortunately, the junior sister's research institute was private, and no one knew how much money she had, otherwise there would be several times more people like this.
