Chapter 690 Confidential Meeting

five o'clock in the morning.

Harbin International Airport.

A bright silver flight landed slowly on the runway, taxiing along the smooth runway.

Looking at the city shrouded in morning fog outside the cabin, Lu Zhou suddenly said.

"It's the first time I've been to such a northern place."

Turning his gaze out of the window, Wang Peng said.

"It's my second time here."

"Oh?"

"The last time was about six years ago. At that time, I was going to the border to perform a mission. I passed by here on the way and stayed here for about a day and a half."

"There are also missions in the north?"

"There are north, south, east and west."

Lu Zhou nodded, but didn't ask what the specific task was.

Firstly, Wang Peng probably wouldn't say anything if asked, and secondly, he wasn't interested in learning about this kind of thing that was not in the same world as him.

After getting off the plane, a silver Buick stopped at the door. A man in very low-key clothes got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Zhou, sending them to a hotel near Harbin Institute of Technology.

This time the driver was not Wang Peng, but someone sent by the Bureau of Science and Industry.

Different from the meeting held in Shanghai last time, the participants of this aerospace engineering bidding conference are all relatively high-profile, or sensitive.

And because of the content discussed at the meeting, there may be some things that cannot be disclosed to the outside world temporarily, so whether it is the identity of the participants or the time and place of the meeting, it is strictly confidential to the outside world.

Even Lu Zhou came here for a meeting, nominally to attend an academic lecture at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After getting off the car at the door of the hotel, two men waiting at the door came forward.

The person in the lead stretched out his right hand from a distance with a smile on his face.

"Professor Lu, long time no see!"

Holding his right hand and shaking it, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Nice to meet you, Director Li."

After letting go of his hand, Director Li looked at the old man standing next to him, slightly raised his right hand and continued to introduce.

"Please allow me to introduce, this is the president of Harbin Institute of Technology, Academician Zou Yu."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you here," Academician Zou said with a smile while shaking Lu Zhou's extended right hand, "I always heard that Professor Lu is young and promising, but seeing him today is really extraordinary!"

"you flatter me."

Director Li smiled and said: "Okay, let's not be polite, you have not had time to have breakfast after getting off the plane so early, right? It happens that the two of us also have stomachs, why don't we go to the hotel for something to eat first?"

The group quickly reached a consensus.

Especially Lu Zhou, he didn't sleep well on the plane last night.

He was already starving by now.

When we arrived at the hotel, breakfast was ready.

First came a bowl of steaming mutton soup, followed by sesame seed cakes wrapped in meat, although simple and plain, it was unexpectedly delicious. Especially the bowl of mutton soup, Lu Zhou just took a sip, and felt that the cold in his body was dispelled, even in this northern city where winter had already entered early, he didn't feel cold anymore.

The people sitting at the table chatted while eating, and soon they talked about academic matters.

During the chat, Lu Zhou learned that this academician Zou is researching two directions of ceramic composite materials and biocomposite materials in materials science, and he is considered a master in this field. When he heard him talking about bio-composite materials, Lu Zhou thought of something and asked.

"Biocomposites?" Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he asked with a smile, "Which one is Academician Zou researching?"

Academician Zou said with a smile: "Me? I mainly work on HA/Ti."

Hydroxyapatite and titanium composites?

Hearing Academician Zou's answer, Lu Zhou couldn't help showing a look of interest on his face.

Although he didn't study it carefully, he still had some understanding.

As one of the cutting-edge research directions in the field of materials science, hydroxyapatite-titanium composite materials are generally regarded as artificial bone materials in the new century. If this technology breaks through, it will have a huge impact on industries such as medical treatment and bionic machinery.

"We are now cooperating with Aurora University to develop a bionic artificial bone that can replace human bones, which can be controlled by nerve electrical signals. If this technology is finally successful, it may completely solve the problem of severed limbs."

Lu Zhou: "Control the machine through nerve electrical signals? I'm afraid it's not easy."

Academician Zou nodded: "As expected of Professor Lu, he saw the crux of the problem at a glance. In fact, the biggest problem we are facing now is in the collection and feedback of neural signals. Especially the feedback, if we want to simulate neural signals It's not easy to trick the brain."

"That sounds like fun."

Although Lu Zhou is not thinking of bionic prosthetics at the moment, but something else.

Academician Zou said with a smile: "It's very interesting. If Professor Lu is interested, you might as well visit our laboratory, and I can show you around inside."

Lu Zhou: "Let's wait until the bidding conference for the moon landing project is over, and I will trouble Academician Zou then."

Academician Zou said in a joking tone: "No trouble, if it can arouse your interest, maybe you can do us a big favor then."

When a problem cannot be solved, the easiest way is to make Professor Lu interested in it.

This sentence was originally only circulated in the mathematics world, but it is no longer the privilege of the mathematics circle...

...

early november.

The bidding conference for the moon landing project was held in a low-key manner in the auditorium of Harbin Institute of Technology.

After showing the invitation letter with barcode and ID card to the staff at the door, Lu Zhou handed in the communication equipment, then walked into the venue with the footsteps of the reception staff, and took a seat on the seat with the identification mark.

In addition to the inspection at the entrance, there is also a random inspection fifteen minutes before the start of the meeting. In addition to checking the identity information, it is mainly to check whether there is any missing communication equipment.

After all the work was done, it happened to be about ten o'clock in the morning.

After a staff member of the Bureau of Science and Industry came to the stage to read out the confidential items, a leader of the Bureau of Science and Industry announced the start of the bidding meeting soon.

This bidding conference is different from other bidding conferences. After the meeting starts, the bidding party does not explain the specific requirements of the project, but the bidding party demonstrates the technology described in its bidding materials.

Of course, this presentation is in the form of PPT, except for some sensitive data, it will not involve the specific technical core.

In fact, the strengths of the two domestic aerospace giants are indeed good. Although there is still a certain gap with the world's top level, they still show a lot of eye-catching technologies.

For example, the 500-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engine offered by Aerospace Group.

Although the technical display was only on the PPT, according to the speeches of the experts appointed by the Aerospace Group, the development of the high-power turbo pump, large-flow gas generator, high-pressure and large-flow low-temperature valve, and high-precision flow regulator of this engine has been completed. Samples for testing performance have also been completed and are currently in the testing phase.

On the other hand, Hangke Group did not show weakness, and demonstrated the latest high-temperature-resistant and wear-resistant ceramic coating technology, which solved the key technical problems of liquid oxygen and kerosene dynamic sealing under high-speed and heavy-load conditions. This technology can be applied to the sealing ring on the end face of the turbo pump of a 120-ton liquid oxygen kerosene high-pressure afterburning engine, which can effectively improve the performance and safety of the rocket engine, and it can be regarded as a fairly advanced technology.

Finally, after the technical director of Hangke Group completed the technology demonstration, it was finally the turn of Xingkong Technology.

Under the signal of the host of the meeting, Lu Zhou walked to the stage and released the PPT prepared a week ago, showing the latest electric propulsion system developed by Starry Sky Technology.

And almost at the moment when the PPT was placed on the second page.

The entire auditorium was eerily quiet...
