Great Country Academician

"Academician Sun Ze, the deputy chief designer of our previous lunar exploration project."

Academician Yang Hong recommended a name, and continued: "He was appointed as the deputy chief designer of our Chang'e-1 satellite development team in 2004, assisting in the management of measurement and control, data transmission, antenna, mechanism and structure, thermal control, data I believe his rich experience can help you a lot.”

"And in the field of electric propulsion, Academician Sun Ze has also done quite a lot of research."

After a pause, he continued: "I originally wanted to recommend Academician Ye Jianpei, the chief designer of the lunar exploration project, but Academician Ye is now in his eighties and has already retired to take care of himself."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll find out when I get back."

Yang Hong smiled, and said, "Also, Academician Xu, I have an unfeeling request. If this new type of aerospace engine is successfully developed, can you tell me?"

"After all, some of its ideas and concepts are of great help to me who study electric propulsion."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Hey, I thought it was something, it's totally fine."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "How about this, Academician Yang, how about taking an honorary consultant position in the Xinghai Research Institute?"

Yang Hong thought for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine. If you encounter any problems in the direction of electric propulsion, you can also contact me by phone or email to see if I can help you."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Then let's talk about it."

In the Jiuquan Aerospace Base, Xu Chuan and Yang Hong chatted for a long time, and consulted many questions about the direction of the electric propulsion engine.

With the answer, he returned to Jinling.

Sitting in his office, Xu Chuan turned on the computer and recorded some of the information he had sorted out in his mind, but began to rearrange the importance of work.

After going to the capital to find academician Sun Ze, the deputy chief designer of the lunar exploration project, the next most important job is undoubtedly to study the mechanism of the KL-66 material.

To be honest, before going to Jiuquan Aerospace Base, Xu Chuan really did not expect that the importance of his previous discovery in KL-66 material would be further enhanced.

Originally, I went to study the KL-66 material, just out of the rigorous identification that a scientific researcher should do, to verify whether the KL-66 material is a room temperature superconducting material.

The new mechanism discovered later is just an attempt to study to see if it can be used to enhance the critical magnetic field of other superconducting materials.

Now it seems that whether it is miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion or aerospace engines, they are all hooked on this technology.

Just as Xu Chuan was thinking about arranging his work, there was a knock on the door of the office, and he answered casually, and it was Wen Yuanhang who walked in.

"Academician Xu, the approval documents for the manned spaceflight project and the lunar exploration project have been approved." Holding a document bag in his hand, Wen Yuanhang walked over quickly, with some excitement in his tone.

"Huh? Let me see."

Xu Chuan raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, and took the file bag from the other party.

The establishment of the manned spaceflight project and the lunar exploration project is also a matter of celebration and joy for him.

Open the file bag, inside is an official red-headed file.

"2021 Huaguo Manned Spaceflight and Lunar Exploration Project Approval Instructions"

After looking through the documents, Xu Chuan was somewhat surprised that what he thought would be two projects had been unified into one.

Moreover, the project that was originally thought to be under the name of the Xinghai Research Institute is not now under the name of the Xinghai Research Institute. Instead, it is directly assigned to the State Council, just like the previous Jinling Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project.

Not only that, but he was in charge of nuclear fusion engineers before, and the overall person in charge of the project has not been finalized in the document.

Putting down the document, Xu Chuan looked at Wen Yuanhang with a hint of doubt. Director Wen, who maintains communication between Xinghai Research Institute and high-level officials, must know the reason.

Noticing Xu Chuan's gaze, Wen Yuanhang smiled and said, "That's it, Academician Xu, about this manned spaceflight project and lunar exploration project. After discussion, the senior leaders decided to unify them into one project and let me Let me explain it to you."

"The main reason for this is that the core of our country's current strategy is still in the field of controllable nuclear fusion. Whether it is building a cross-regional power grid with other neighboring countries, or popularizing the construction of domestic controllable fusion power stations, this is the most important thing at present. things."

"After all, at present, it is more important for us to be down-to-earth and focus on the current national development. However, after discussions with senior leaders, I think your opinion is equally important. Exploring outer space is also our future. So I made a compromise. Merging the human spaceflight project with the manned moon landing project."

"As for the person in charge, you were originally selected according to the previous plan, but after discussions with the senior leaders, I decided to ask for your opinion."

"The main reason is that the follow-up of this project involves some international competition, and there may be some problems such as bad public opinion."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was keenly aware of something immediately, and asked, "Is the higher-ups going to start the competition track of the manned spaceflight and manned lunar exploration project?"

Wen Yuanhang smiled, flattered him a little and said, "Academician Xu is still very good, so he guessed it right."

After a slight pause, he continued: "As you guessed, after discussions with senior leaders, we plan to use space strategy to contain those Western countries."

"Controlled nuclear fusion technology has been around for a month and a half and almost two months now, and our dawn is ready to be officially connected to the grid for power generation, and it is impossible for other countries to take no action in this regard."

"According to our information, whether it is the United States, Tsarist Russia, or the European Union, Sakura Country, South Korea and other countries, it can be said that as long as they have the ability to carry out controllable nuclear fusion projects independently, they will all start to promote their own controllable fusion demonstration reactor projects. .”

"At present, we are collecting the progress of each country, and it is not yet possible to know where they are. But as Academician Xu said before, on the basis that the composite tokamak route has been clarified, other countries only need to vigorously Invest in research and development funds and manpower and material resources, and one day they will develop their own fusion technology."

"Although they don't have you, they also have a wealth of experience in the controlled nuclear fusion technology route. As long as they make a decision, they can always catch up in the future."

"So while we are well grasping our current advantages and expanding our international influence, it is necessary to open up another competitive route, pull our opponents in, and try our best to delay their development and research. "

"So the importance of the manned spaceflight and manned moon landing projects has been elevated to a higher level, and they have entered the national key strategic engineering projects."

"In this project, in the future, we will definitely publish and disclose some goals and words with a 'fudge' nature."

"Such as manned moon landing, fire landing and other plans, including establishing permanent living bases on the moon and Mars, mining minerals and other goals, so as to urge opponents to invest more funds and energy in manned spaceflight."

"When these goals are announced, if they are not realized, it will definitely cause some damage to the reputation and prestige of the chief executive. Therefore, after deliberation at the higher level, it is decided not to appoint the chief executive for the time being. Let me ask you Views."

"After all, whether it is for you personally or for the motherland, your excellent academic reputation and reputation are very precious wealth, and it is also an honor and pride."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly understood why things like aerospace engineering were returned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be directly responsible, and why the general manager was left blank.

Does this mean that he wants to be the chief designer to fool other countries for the country's platform?

A new generation of seats?

It sounds quite interesting.
