Genius of the Rules-Style System

The nuclear fusion device has been built to perfection.

There were no major problems in the previous two tests. Some minor problems were encountered and have been corrected. Recently, it has been continuously improved and no problems have been found for many days.

Therefore, Chen Zeshu is very confident that the nuclear fusion device manufactured by his team is a complete structure with mature technology.

After Zhao Yi and Chen Zeshu had negotiated, they walked up the railing stairs with a smile until they reached the entrance of the second floor and entered the peripheral facilities of the nuclear fusion device.

From here you can already see the outer skin of the nuclear fusion device.

Others followed.

Chen Zeshu continued to introduce, "This is the pipeline of the power unit. The inner layer of this pipeline is designed to be wrapped with a compressed nickel alloy coating, which can withstand temperatures exceeding four thousand degrees."

"The pipe leads to the power generation device——"

"Bala bala~~"

Zhao Yi listened patiently and kept nodding along. He had found a small problem.

When he stood on the outside looking in, he only knew that there was a small problem with the nuclear fusion device, but he didn't know what the specific problem was.

Once inside, I used my causal thinking ability and immediately found the problem.

"here!"

Zhao Yi pointed to a place and said, "Look, the left and right sides of this pipe are not coordinated, and there is obvious deflection at the welding point."

"The power plant pipeline is not coordinated, so one side should be heavier, right? Although I'm not sure, there may be a problem here. Have you paid attention to this problem?"

If the power unit pipeline is installed uncoordinatedly, one side may be heavier than the other.

This is a minor problem, but if it continues for a long time, it may cause the internal pipe to deflect, thereby affecting the power transmission efficiency. .

If a spacecraft collision occurs, the pipe with an unstable center of gravity may be at risk of cracking, which will become serious by then.

Of course.

Unless any accidents occur, the power plant pipeline will not affect the overall operation.

Chen Zeshu felt that Zhao Yi was nitpicking, but the team really didn’t pay much attention to this issue, so he still asked someone to write it down.

Next, Zhao Yi continued to walk forward, and when he reached a certain part of the outer barrier, he observed it carefully and said, "The polishing here is not careful."

"Look at this welded joint, there is obviously an airway inside."

Chen Zeshu took a closer look and found that there was indeed an airway, which was caused by uneven polishing. The outer layer was not perfectly attached. The airway was indeed a problem, and it might lead to uneven pressure on the outer layer, which would affect the overall situation. run.

This is a slightly bigger problem.

He took a deep breath and immediately asked someone to write it down.

Zhao Yi walked around the device on the second floor and found more than a dozen minor problems in a row.

Although each of them is a minor problem and will not affect the normal operation of the device, it is certain that the device with more than a dozen minor problems is indeed imperfectly manufactured.

At first, Chen Zeshu thought that Zhao Yi was nitpicking, but later he became speechless. He always felt that the device was perfectly manufactured, and with so many problems found in a row, it could be said that the work was imperfect. .

Of course.

Any large-scale device must have minor problems, and it is impossible to create a perfect device. However, Zhao Yi found so many problems just after seeing the completed device, which made Chen Zeshu feel very depressed.

He didn't know how Zhao Yi saw it, but if he thought about it carefully, Zhao Yi designed the nuclear fusion device, and he knew every detail clearly.

So, it's normal.

Chen Zeshu could only think so.

After coming down from the top, Zhao Yi said with a smile, "Academician Chen, you don't have to look so cool. In fact, I think your work is perfect, even far beyond my expectations, and the manufacturing speed is very fast. .”

“This unit is so much better than the original one.”

"This is the truth."

Zhao Yi rarely praises others directly, and with his reputation, there is no need to do so.

Chen Zeshu also smiled. Thinking about the promised lobster, he suddenly felt regretful.

Lobster is very expensive!

In fact, the price of lobster is not too expensive, at least compared to their salary, eating one lobster is nothing at all.

But lobster in Space City is really expensive.

This is a desert area, and the nearest airport is hundreds of kilometers away. Shipping lobsters from the capital is much more expensive than the cost.

So when it was time for dinner, Chen Zeshu grinned and ordered a lobster. He paid more than 3,000 yuan out of his own pocket for it. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was worth it. After finding so many problems in a row, he only needed to solve each problem. Correction, then the device becomes perfect.

Next time, who else can figure out the problem?

Chen Zeshu was immediately looking forward to it. He had been working on the nuclear fusion device for several consecutive years. The current device was a real treasure. He felt that even for his own son, there was no such thing as a device.

A group of people helped Zhao Yi wash away his troubles.

In addition to Chen Zeshu, there are also several team leaders, persons in charge, and leadership. Their usual work meals must be free, but expensive ingredients like lobster must be paid out of their own pockets.

So a group of people made a fuss and asked Chen Zeshu to treat him to lobster, and said that he would only order one for Zhao Yi, which was really stingy.

In fact, there were only three in the hotel.

Of course Chen Zeshu would not fall into the trap, he would not answer the question at all.

In fact, Zhao Yi didn't care at all about lobster or not. With his wealth, he could afford even the most expensive ingredients. He just thought it was fun to make Chen Zeshu look bad. Up to now, the two of them had been friends for years.

Many technical leaders from the spacecraft project team were present, and they talked about core component testing and Zhao Yi's work.

Zhao Yi definitely didn't come here as a spectator. He held the position of general technical consultant and needed to participate in the work.

His job, more important than anyone else's, is to do the final data review.

Each group will submit relevant test results and experimental calculation data, and he will be responsible for the final review.

Only after all test results and data have been reviewed can the decision to continue the experiment be made.

Although he is only doing the review of relevant data, Zhao Yi's job is the most important and the most stressful.

No one else would take the job at all.

If there is a problem with the data in the experiment, it must be inseparable from the final review team, which is equivalent to shouldering a huge responsibility.

However, Zhao Yi didn't care.

One is that he is very good at reviewing data to ensure that he will not have any problems.

The second is that the spacecraft project team is too big, involving a lot of funds and influence, and no one else dares to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Of course.

If they have no choice but to do so, some people will stand up, but they will probably be overwhelmed by the work or even be crushed by the pressure.

This is like a dam project involving people's livelihood. The final review involves the participation of a series of people, rather than one person or a group being responsible. Otherwise, if there is a problem with the dam, such as being washed away by the river, who would dare to take on this important responsibility? ?

Taking on this responsibility can even lead to eternal infamy!

As the test time approaches, international public opinion has become very heated.

Many media reported on the latest progress, and many media entered the spaceship base and took specific pictures. When they were released, they caused a lot of discussion.

The revelation of some news also made public opinion more excited, "This experiment was controlled by Academician Zhao."

"Academician Chen Zeshu of the nuclear fusion team is very confident in the nuclear fusion device. He said that the technology of the current device is approaching maturity. If it continues to develop in the future, it is likely to cover civilian use, and the time will not be longer than ten years."

"Academician Zhou Qiping of the anti-gravity group said that there will be no problems in the test experiment, and we can look forward to seeing real shuttles on TV."

"According to relevant sources, the experiment will be conducted on flat ground, and the live broadcast shooting will be through a helicopter. The entire shuttle process will be seen under the helicopter's high field of view."

"This will be a very amazing experiment, and the process will be very shocking!"

"we hope--"

While public opinion was hotly debated, senior leaders had already led a team to the space city, and immediately inspected the spacecraft and paid attention to the experimental preparations.

At this time, all the work is almost over, and we are just waiting for the scheduled time to arrive.

Zhao Yi began to accompany senior leaders and inspect all parts of the project team, including those responsible for other countries.

The core devices of the spacecraft are all independently developed and manufactured in China. Many other parts are handed over to other institutions and teams. China is only responsible for the final testing and acceptance.

The entire project cost more than $200 billion.

Domestic investment is around 80 billion US dollars, and it is responsible for core components and has a dominant position in technology.

Other participating countries and institutions have invested approximately US$120 billion, and they will certainly not invest in vain. They have already reached a series of technical cooperation agreements with China.

What is very important is that the country should open up the sale of compressed materials to the outside world at a certain time, and provide relevant support for materials and technology in a series of directions related to space exploration such as satellites and spacecrafts.

In addition, what is directly related to the spacecraft is that the participating institutions are assigned to their own laboratories inside the spacecraft. That is, when the spacecraft conducts cruises or other space activities, they have the right to send a team of scientists to participate.

etc.

Of course, for the time being, the spacecraft is still undergoing core device testing, and there is still time before it can launch into space. After this test is over, there will be two, three, and more rounds of testing, during which the spacecraft will be The other parts are gradually installed, and the process takes about three months to half a year.

After everything is installed, the spacecraft will conduct an overall test flight and slowly correct the problems found.

After conducting many tests and confirming that there are no problems, the test flight into space will be carried out.

The testing of the spacecraft is carried out step by step. The testing arrangements are very detailed. It involves such a huge project. No matter how serious and detailed it is, the testing process is many times more complicated than the test flight of a fighter jet or the test of an aircraft carrier.

If no major problems occur, the test time will not be too long.

"Ultimately, it is expected that formal space testing can be carried out in one to one and a half years."

"Then the spacecraft will carry small functional spacecraft and try to perform simple tasks, such as cruising and sending spacecraft to Mars."

Project leader Li Jin introduced.

The senior leaders nodded as they listened and couldn't help but ask Xiang Zhao Yi, "Yixing, how are you? Your small spaceship shouldn't be delayed, right?"

"of course not."

Zhao Yidao said, "We already have a landing ship, and are now developing a transport ship and a manned spacecraft. It is expected that within half a year at most, we will be able to see the finished product and even sell it to the outside world."

"Of course, if allowed," he added.

Senior leaders also know what it means. The rules regarding the latest technology have not yet been formulated in great detail. They often hold meetings to discuss any problems they encounter.

However, relevant responsible departments, such as the Science and Technology Department and the Defense Department, are conducting relevant demonstrations to determine what technologies should be opened to the outside world and what technical products can be sold. They also plan to formulate the latest "Technology Security Act" and discuss the future of space. Explore related systems such as humanitarianism, rescue, and crisis response that you may encounter.

For example, in the future, space exploration will be very frequent, and we will definitely encounter problems such as spacecraft malfunctions or dangers.

When astronauts encounter danger on Mars, should they rescue or not rescue? How to carry out rescue? Who will pay for the rescue costs?

What if it’s Yixing, which is the company’s spaceship?

Is it a foreign spaceship?

etc.

These will be discussed later and definite rules will be given.

finally.

Time has come for the test date.

Many people involved in the work went directly to the test site and looked at the huge spacecraft from a distance through the fence.

Ordinary staff and technicians can only watch from a distance. Only some project team leaders and top technicians can go inside and watch the spacecraft ignite.

The nuclear fusion device has completed ignition in advance, and the sound can be heard from the outside, but because the sealing is relatively tight, the sound is not very loud.

These sounds are mostly caused by the internal motor.

There is a violent reaction inside the nuclear fusion device, but no sound is emitted. This is mainly because of the 'anti-energy barrier' effect. The energy is directly isolated, and most of the particles are also isolated. Coupled with the perfect seal, there is no sound. come out.

Twenty minutes before the test time, several helicopters had already taken off.

Some are media helicopters, mainly responsible for filming, and some are carrying people watching experiments.

Zhao Yi is one of them.

He boarded a helicopter with senior leaders and watched the experiment from the air.

Being able to see the entire shuttle process from the air is very exciting.
