Chapter 834: A Visiting Group From the North Country

The next day, Lu Zhou got up early in the morning, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then took his handsome suit from "Xiao Ai" and put it on his body.

Today is a diplomatic occasion, and 80% of them will be on CTV.

In order for the fans in front of the TV to see a handsome self, Lu Zhou deliberately spent ten minutes playing with a handsome hairstyle.

Standing in front of the mirror for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Zhou quickly went to the kitchen and used the microwave to finish today's breakfast, then went out and sat on the black red flag that had been waiting at the door, heading towards the aerospace industry in the suburbs of Jinling. The industrial park opened.

Sitting in the back row of the car, looking at the street scene flashing by the car window, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered what his senior sister said to him yesterday, so he spoke.

"I'm going to change cars?"

Wang Peng: "What car?"

Lu Zhou: "Pure electric."

Wang Peng: "Is it safe and reliable?"

Lu Zhou: "You can check it when the time comes."

Wang Peng nodded: "No problem, I will run a set of batteries for you when the new car arrives."

Lu Zhou: "...run a set of batteries? Are you sure?"

Wang Peng glanced at the rearview mirror of the car, and asked strangely: "...Is there any problem?"

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said: "It's not a problem, the main thing is that the battery life of that thing is more than 2,000 kilometers... Are you sure you want to run through a set of batteries?"

Two thousand kilometers!

Upon hearing this number, Wang Peng, who was holding the steering wheel, almost choked on his own saliva.

Gritting his teeth, he said stubbornly.

"Run! Only two thousand kilometers!"

Yes, but only two thousand kilometers.

That is, driving from Jinling to Shangjing, and then strolling back from Shangjing...

However, seeing this guy so stubborn, Lu Zhou felt very distressed.

2,000 kilometers...

I really want to run all these two thousand kilometers, and even a new car must be 90% new...

In less than half an hour's drive, the black red flag passed the high-tech park from the ring road, and drove towards the newly built aerospace industrial park behind the high-tech park.

Strictly speaking, from the perspective of the division of administrative blocks, this part is actually an industry in the high-tech park, and it is only divided on the map for the convenience of management.

Since the Jinling Space Launch Center was built, the aerospace industry in Jinling City has developed at an incredible speed, and it has a great tendency to become the Eastern Houston.

From satellites to spacecraft accessories, from heat sinks to aerospace batteries, from state-owned giants to private companies, more than 500 companies have settled here. Whether it is Queqiao or Yuegong space station, all accessories and even space module components can be provided. Find it here.

In a sense, the reason why the delegation of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation set its first stop at Jinling instead of Shangjing is more important than taking a fancy to the booming global aerospace market. One of the reasons for this is to learn from the rise of Huaguo's aerospace industry.

Russia has a huge aerospace industry base, but in the context of a depressed economy, these foundations are like a muscle that has lost its blood supply, and it has no strength but can't be used at all.

Now the whole world wants to take the shuttle bus to space from Huaguo. In contrast, Russia is undoubtedly the closest one to this shuttle...

Under the Starry Sky Technology Building.

A black red flag stopped at the door.

Seeing Lu Zhou getting off the car, the eyes of the man standing next to the security guard who kept looking at his watch lit up, and he walked over quickly.

"Academician Lu, you are here!" He stretched out his right hand from a long distance away, and shook Lu Zhou's hand vigorously. The man briefly introduced himself, "My name is Zhong Quan, and I am the minister. Secretary of the office, you can call me Xiao Zhong or Secretary Zhong."

"Lu Zhou, academician is a title, and professor is a profession. You don't have to be so famous. You can just call me Professor Lu." Lu Zhou smiled and continued to ask, "The Russian delegation has arrived?"

Zhong Quan said with a smile: "It's early in the morning! Mr. Grudev has been inquiring about you since he got off the plane, and asked us all the way if we have a chance to meet you today."

Inquire about my affairs?

How embarrassing...

Thinking of the reason for the sneeze yesterday, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and continued.

"Really? Then don't make our guests from afar wait in a hurry, take me there."

The secretary made a gesture of please and said.

"this way please!"

Due to the visit of a foreign team, the aerospace industrial park was completely closed today, but it was even more lively when it was closed than when it was not closed.

More than 20 black business cars were neatly parked in the parking lot under the Xingkong Technology Building. A group of Russian-faced diplomats in suits followed the footsteps of Chinese diplomats and local officials and visited the Xingkong Technology Building. reception hall.

It was also here that the Minister of Economic Development of Russia, Grudev, finally met the person he was most looking forward to seeing during this trip...

"Hello, Professor Lu! I'm Grudev," the burly, bright-headed Russian man said with a hearty and enthusiastic smile while holding Lu Zhou's right hand tightly, "At the meeting of the Federal Space Agency I can always hear your name on the Internet, and today I am fortunate enough to meet you in person.”

Shaking this Mr. Grudev's right hand, Lu Zhou smiled modestly and said, "Don't dare, it's also nice to meet you, Mr. Grudev."

"Your management of the aerospace industry has left a deep impression on me. May I have the honor to visit your factory today?"

Minister Yang, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, glanced at Lu Zhou, and cast a questioning gaze. After seeing Lu Zhou nodding, he immediately had a bottom line in his heart, and said to Minister Grudev who was standing next to him.

"Of course no problem, please come with me."

The aerospace assembly center of Xingkong Technology is also in the aerospace industrial park. Rather, the entire aerospace industrial park was developed around the aerospace assembly center of Xingkong Technology.

Because of Grudev's request, the group walked all the way instead of taking a car.

Along the way, the Russian middle-aged man kept his eyes on the buildings on both sides of the street, and his calm eyes showed shocking expressions from time to time.

Without any warning, he suddenly sighed, and said to Lu Zhou who was walking beside him.

"...After seeing everything here, I finally understand why you were able to create such a world wonder as the Moon Palace."

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "It's not a wonder of the world, the scale of the International Space Station is not smaller than it."

Grudev shook his head: "The International Space Station is the result of the joint efforts of dozens of countries, and it took more than ten years to complete. It is unbelievable that you spent less than a year, It has completed the project that the international community needs ten years to complete. If this is not a wonder of the world, I think there is probably nothing that can be regarded as a monument of human civilization in the 21st century."

Although he knew that this rough-looking Russian man was flattering him, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.

After all, Maozi before the disintegration was considered one of the space overlords. Although after the disintegration, it is not as good as it was back then, but the inheritance they inherited can survive on their laurels until now. It is conceivable how rich this technological heritage is.

Few people know that the "Raptor" liquid oxygen methane engine on Space-X's BFR rocket uses the "full flow staged combustion cycle" technology, which is on the RD-270 engine of the former Soviet Union's UR-700 rocket.

Of course, dark cool is dark cool, but I still have to be polite.

Lu Zhou smiled and said modestly.

"No, we are just standing on the shoulders of giants."

Electric propulsion technology is reverse engineered from the wreckage of advanced civilizations. In this sense, it is true, and Lu Zhou really thinks so.

It's just that Grudev seemed to have misunderstood the giant Lu Zhou was talking about. Thinking of the glory of the former Soviet Union's aerospace industry, he laughed a few times in embarrassment but politely. Fortunately, Minister Yang saw it at a glance without any trace. Gradually took over the topic, so that the conversation did not become cold because of Grudev's difficulty in answering the conversation.

Although there was such a small episode, the relationship between the two parties was not affected by it. Firstly, Grudev is not a stingy person, and he will not care about what a scholar who is not good at talking about. Second, the gap in the international status of the two sides has changed, and he has lost his position of being careless.

Especially the aerospace one.

The center of gravity of the aerospace market is expanding from low-earth orbit to earth-moon transfer orbit. If Russia wants to find a way out for its own aerospace industry, it must get the help of Huaguo.

If it is not because of strength, what other reason can make a grumpy polar bear so docile and naive?

I'm afraid there will be no other reason.
