Galaxy Technology Empire

When astronauts like Liao Qingsong and Ma Wu were training hard.

Bazhong City, Jianmu No. 2 Base.

After more than half a year of construction, earth-shaking changes have taken place here. Not only Jianmu No. 2 Base has entered the final debugging stage.

Bazhong City has now become a real aerospace base, with mass projector design and manufacturing factories, spacecraft construction factories, engine factories, fuel production factories and other supporting facilities and factories.

As the head of the Dongtang Space Agency and one of the top executives of the Space Development Committee, Zhao Hongxing has learned about the progress of each system.

At present, the Jianmu plan is almost completed. The main body of the Jianmu No. 2 base has been completed, and the magnetic vacuum cable connected to the ring-shaped airship can also be used.

"Old Ma, we have done 8 excitation experiments on the magnetic vacuum cable. There is no problem. Let's install the mass projector into the Jianmu No. 2 base today!" Zhao Hongxing handed over a test report Academician Ma.

Academician Ma flipped through the report and found that Zhao Hongxing and the others also performed a parietal membrane puncture test, and the results were similar to what they expected.

As for why there is no mass projector, why can Zhao Hongxing and the others still do this roof membrane puncture experiment? The mass projector and the tungsten rod projector have the same principle, so they directly borrowed a tungsten rod projector for testing.

What is the apical membrane puncture test?

The top film is the one-way magnetic vacuum film in the entire mass projector system that is arranged on the annular airship at 60 kilometers. The purpose is to prevent the air from the magnetic vacuum pipe outlet from flowing back.

The puncture experiment was to test whether this film would affect the passage of the projection spacecraft.

Academician Ma knew from the report that the puncture experiment was very successful. Zhao Hongxing and the others successfully broke through the apical membrane exit at a speed similar to that of the projection spacecraft.

He looked over Kaohsiung City's Jianmu-1. They also conducted relevant tests. After exchanging experimental data from the two bases, they were very confident about launching the projection spacecraft into outer space.

"Don't worry about the mass projector. Let's install superconducting electromagnetic guide rails on the 560-meter hard vacuum pipeline first." Academician Ma returned the report to Zhao Hongxing and said.

Zhao Hongxing thought for a while: "That's okay."

Jianmu No. 2 Base.

Inside the huge rigid vacuum pipe, workers hoisted a piece of room-temperature superconductor to a designated location through a crane on the top.

Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma watched the workers constructing not far away.

"This is all free money!" Zhao Hongxing joked with a smile.

"Six superconducting guide rails, each costing 2 billion yuan, are indeed a waste of money." Academician Ma said with a smile.

"Fortunately, we can now refine silver from seawater in China. Otherwise, the international silver price may have skyrocketed." Zhao Hongxing said, looking at the silver-white room-temperature superconductor.

"That's true, Dr. Yuan Quan's ability is still outstanding." Academician Ma was full of admiration.

Zhao Hongxing knew Yuan Quan's current net worth of several billion: "She is now a billionaire, and Galaxy Technology is really willing to give it up."

"You will get something if you give it up. Buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins will look ugly, so who would do it?" Academician Ma said pointedly.

"Haha, old horse, who among us is following whom, don't beat around the bush." ​​Zhao Hongxing smiled bitterly.

"It's okay not to say anything." Academician Ma shook his head and said.

In fact, there have been great changes in domestic official scientific research institutions in recent years, mainly due to the rise of the Milky Way scientific research system, which has broken the monopoly of domestic academic circles.

The scientific research institutions of the Milky Way, wielding money and a strong scientific research environment, are poaching crazily with titanium alloy hoes, making the official scientific research institutions very passive.

Under this kind of competition, in order to produce results and keep their jobs, many academics have to let go of some unspoken rules and let in some fresh blood.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, not only will they themselves be ruined, but the higher-ups will also take action to rectify the situation.

Especially in terms of materials science, the scientific research strength and achievements of the Milky Way can rival the world. After all, which one can be used for atomic manipulation technology, normal temperature superconductors, total nitrogen anions, submetal series, graphene carbon nanotubes, foam cement, etc. They can all dominate the world.

Facing a monster system like the Milky Way, these academic factions are helpless. They can't recruit them and they can't openly suppress them. What's more, even if they take action to suppress them, it's still unknown who will do it.

Only competition can promote development. If there is no competition, it will kill itself sooner or later.

"By the way, Lao Ma! There seemed to be a lot of noise at the Peking Academy of Sciences some time ago. Have you received anything?" Zhao Hongxing asked suddenly.

"Are you talking about building a large particle collider?" Academician Ma asked calmly.

Zhao Hongxing nodded.

"What opinions do I have? I'm not in this field." Academician Ma replied, spreading his hands.

"Is there no one here to act as a lobbyist?" Zhao Hongxing asked with a smile.

"My attitude is neutral. I neither oppose nor support." Academician Ma paused and continued: "I will not express my position on this matter. Maybe they can go to Mr. Huang to take a look."

"Going to find Mr. Huang?" Zhao Hongxing smiled and said nothing.

While the two were talking, the workers had already installed a section of the normal-temperature superconductor rail on the movable bracket. The reason why it was a movable bracket was mainly to adjust the distance of the six rails.

By adjusting the distance between the guide rails to match the mass projection and magnetic vacuum pipes, the entire system can be easily integrated.

Zhao Hongxing looked at the installation progress and his watch and said: "It seems that the installation work will take about a week."

"Slow work will produce fine work, you can't rush this kind of thing."

"By the way, Lao Ma, what's going on over there in Kaohsiung?" Zhao Hongxing turned around and asked.

Academician Ma thought for a while, then turned on his holographic watch and looked at the progress of Kaohsiung City's Jianmu-1: "Their progress is slower than ours. The guide rail installation is scheduled to be carried out on October 19."

"It seems to be almost the same. Let me ask Guanghai how their spaceship is being built." After Zhao Hongxing finished speaking, he opened his holographic watch and found Wang Guanghai's Panda.

After dialing Wang Guanghai's Panda number, Wang Guanghai's holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Red Star, eh? Lao Ma is here too!"

"Why don't you welcome me!" Academician Ma joked.

"How dare you, welcome." Wang Guanghai smiled.

"Lao Wang, how is the progress of your spacecraft? Our mass projector system may be put into use this month." Zhao Hongxing asked.

"So fast? Two test spacecraft of the Qinglong-class manned projection spacecraft have been built. The testing of the Xuanwu-class transport and projection spacecraft has been completed and passed acceptance. Six ships have been built so far."

"Has the Xuanwu class passed the acceptance inspection? How many ships are there in the Bazhong base?" Zhao Hongxing asked quickly.

"Bazhong and Kaohsiung each have three Xuanwu-class ships."

"Have you confirmed the space station accessories to be transported?"

"We have prepared some of them. The first batch is solar panels and 12 cabins, as well as four rocket engines and fuel." Wang Guanghai replied.

After finishing speaking, Wang Guanghai sent part of the situation to Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma. After all, they were both affiliated units of the Space Development Committee, and they communicated frequently.

Understanding each other's respective progress is helpful for adjusting work to avoid being unable to cooperate at some point. Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma looked at the progress of the projection spacecraft and the preparations of the space station.

Judging from the reports, the spacecraft system and the projector system are both entering the final stage.
