Chapter 886 The Holy Land of the Aerospace Industry

On the third day after the end of New Year's Day, the festive atmosphere has faded from the Jinling Aerospace Industrial Park, and the workers who have returned from the holiday have already started to work.

The doors of each factory have been opened. Large, medium and small logistics trucks are passing through the spacious roads in the park. The raw materials are imported into the park by trucks, and the parts are exported by trucks. They are like blood filled with nutrients. A vigorous heart pumps into the limbs and torso of Huaguo's aerospace industry, making this rising giant stronger.

Located in the core area of ​​the entire industrial park, in the Jinling Aerospace Assembly Center with towering walls, there is a boxy and spacious factory building.

In the factory building, a metal hull divided into three sections is lying quietly on the scattered scaffolding like a skeleton.

This place seems to have become a pilgrimage site for the world's aerospace industry, and the lying hull, like a saint's coffin, attracts the attention of all astronauts around the world.

Especially world-renowned aerospace companies such as Boeing, Space-X, and Airbus, which have already emerged in their respective fields, do not hesitate to give up orders of billions or even tens of billions to reach cooperation with Xingkong Technology, just to send engineers Sent here to have a look.

At this moment, a group of foreign experts were standing next to the hull of the Queqiao, whispering in surprise, and pointing at the mechanical cantilever on both sides of the factory building from time to time.

"God...how are you going to get it into space?"

The Chinese engineer standing next to him didn't respond, but just stood there with his hands behind his back.

He didn't ask anything, and the foreign expert obviously wouldn't be reconciled, so he deliberately used a provocative tone and said provocatively.

"This cuboid-shaped hull has fatal flaws. Haven't you considered what happens if you are hit by a meteorite? There is also the metal cold welding effect in a super-vacuum and low-temperature environment. The increase in thrust will infinitely magnify the decomposition of the hull. risk."

The engineer wearing the hard hat still stood beside him, his polite smile remained unchanged, and he was even more indifferent to the complaints of these foreign experts.

After probing for a long time, there was no useful information from the engineers here, and the faces of foreign experts showed disappointment.

Especially the bearded Caucasian expert who proposed the cold welding effect earlier 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 our strength. Unless you can create an identical one, I can totally treat you as a fart."

"..."

Seeing the group of foreign experts who were commotion and expressing their dissatisfaction, Director Li, who was also inspecting the factory, glanced sideways at his secretary and asked.

"Who are those people? What are they doing?"

Compared with Director Li, the secretary's English is still very good, he hesitated and explained.

"Those foreign experts... seem to be picking on something wrong."

"Fit faults?" Chief Li raised his eyebrows, with a strange expression on his face, and almost didn't laugh out loud, "They also have the nerve to pick our faults?"

If someone had told him this before, he might have believed it. After all, Huaguo's aerospace industry was not strong enough to be proud of two years ago, and he still had to listen to the opinions of foreign experts with an open mind.

But now, as the only country in the world that has mastered mature controllable nuclear fusion technology and used controllable nuclear fusion and electric propulsion technology on spacecraft, there are still people who are qualified to come and teach them how to design a spacecraft?

No kidding.

"Finding faults is secondary. I'm afraid their main idea is to get some information from us. However, their methods don't seem to be very clever. The aggressive method is useless to us."

Walking over from the side, Hou Guang, director of the Aerospace Research Institute of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, explained with a smile, while extending his right hand to Director Li, "Welcome Director Li to come to the aerospace assembly center to guide, you should tell me in advance One sound, so I can prepare for the reception in advance."

"What is coming to guide you? What can I guide you as a layman? I was worried about disturbing your work, so I didn't tell you in advance." Director Li smiled and shook Hou Guang's hand, still looking at it with some anxiety. He glanced at those foreign experts, "You all know that they are here to inquire about intelligence, so what are you letting them in for?"

"This is a request from our partners. The reason is to ensure the safety of the goods. We can never keep them out because of such a trivial matter," Hou Guang smiled indifferently and continued in a relaxed tone, " What's more, the technology that can be seen at a glance has no meaning of secrecy at all. Our real core technology is in the Institute for Advanced Study, where they can't get in, even if they do experiments in front of them, they may not be able to See what we're doing."

In fact, this is where the competitors are most annoyed.

They spent a lot of money to negotiate a cooperation, and sent engineers here to visit in the name of "safety inspection", but what they saw was a pile of scrap iron with no technical content.

Yes, these things are equally valuable, and they also contain a lot of knowledge, but to them, they are no different from scrap iron.

After all, before thinking about how to miniaturize controllable nuclear fusion and install it on a spacecraft, they still do not have the prerequisites for adopting this "vigorously flying brick" design route.

Looking at the expressions of envy and hatred on the faces of those foreign engineers, Chief Li sighed slightly and said.

"I didn't expect that we would have this day, and let others rack their brains to steal our technology."

Hou Guang smiled and said: "Yeah, sometimes I also think that all this is like a dream."

Looking at the group of foreign experts who moved from the side of the scaffolding to the next "attraction" like a tourist group, Hou Guang paused for a moment and continued.

"We are currently bidding for NASA's 500-ton Earth-Moon transfer orbit transportation mission. If nothing else, our quotation will be more than 20% cheaper than Space-X. This is the most suitable bidding plan after research by our experts. If If the bid is successful, it will be able to absorb at least 10 billion US dollars of excess space transportation capacity. It's just..."

Director Li: "Just what? If you have any difficulties other than technology, you can tell me, and I will find a way to help you solve it."

"...No, you misunderstood. It's not that there is any difficulty. We are all fine now. I just want to say that it is a pity that Academician Lu has now focused his work on mathematics," Hou Guang sighed softly, feeling a little nostalgic Said, "To be honest, I really miss the feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with Academician Lu on the front line of scientific research. Many times we exchange some data and some ideas, and he can quickly give me a feasible one. thinking, and I will demonstrate it from a professional point of view, no matter what I do, I will get twice the result with half the effort.”

Hearing this sentence, Director Li sighed and said.

"This kind of thing cannot be forced. Academician Lu also has his own things to do. We can't force him all the time, and always contribute his strength for us."

"You're right, we really can't rely on him all the time," Hou Guang nodded, regained his energy, and said with a smile, "It seems that I have to work hard here, now that we have finally established such a large The superiority of the academician cannot let down academician Lu's hard work."

Director Li nodded with a smile and said.

"Go and do your work. I will go to other places later. If you meet Professor Lu, remember to say hello to him for me."

"Okay." Waving his hand, Hou Guang put his hard hat on his head, turned around and returned to his job.

Looking at Hou Guang who put on his helmet and turned away, looked at another Queqiao that was about to be completed displayed not far away, and looked at this busy factory, director Li's face showed a sense of relief and joy. Fascinated.

Huaguo's aerospace industry is setting sail towards a more distant starry sky, and everything is developing in a good direction.

To see this moment in my lifetime.

I always feel that there are no regrets in this life.
