Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

"Very sophisticated magnetic technology. But how did you convey the command? I saw you just clicked twice."

Zhou Rui naturally wouldn't say that the small shower head is an "intelligent mechanical life". Between one person and one machine, it mainly relies on tacit understanding and familiarity. He just said: "It's just some fixed combinations. Just get used to them. Academician Ma, please get in the car. I’ll take you around the factory.”

Zhou Rui and Ma Weiming were in one, and the others were behind. Under Zhou Rui's instruction, classmate Xiao Wan activated the follow mode. Six factory cars and small trains lined up in a long snake.

Since it was a tour, it was natural to walk around. When passing by the edge, Ma Mingwei pointed to the flower field in the distance and asked curiously: "Is it green? Why is it in such a remote place?"

That flower field was the place where Zhou Rui and Xiaohuasha worked together to cultivate it. However, at this time, the rapeseed flowers had been harvested and the oil extracted was given to the factory canteen, and sunflowers were planted at this time.

Zhou Rui still prefers crops with some economic value and grows non-white crops.

Otherwise, once the flowering period is over, it will collapse all over the ground, making people feel that their work was in vain.

The small shower head has a lot of Buddhist elements, it is a flower, it just needs to grow up well.

The sea of ​​​​sunflowers is golden and even more spectacular than before. After a while, you can continue to harvest and fry melon seeds.

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "I grew it myself when I was bored. It's considered a hobby."

Ma Weiming asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhou still likes farming at such a young age?"

"I have studied systematically with the teacher."

"Haha, that's right. People who do scientific research should have a pastime. Just like me, I usually like to fish on the aircraft carrier."

"that must be very interesting."

"Nine out of ten fishes come up empty."

“Eh, that’s interesting, too.”

Zhou Rui took Academician Ma Weiming through the main buildings of the Wanhu Base one by one, including the huge intelligent center tower, and also introduced the functions of each factory building.

When he learned that the back of the base was close to the estuary and had a small commercial port, the Electromagnetic Lord opened his mouth.

Although he has seen larger bases, this base belongs to a private enterprise, or it can be said to belong to the leader of Zhou personally.

Having money means convenience.

Just like the purpose this time, the "Xingtian Fighter" was also organized by the Zhou leader himself.

What's the approval, what's the funding, I just want to do it, what's wrong?

When the factory car wandered around and stopped at the door of Factory Building No. 5, it was the main topic this time, which was the part about the "Xingtian Fighter".

Even though Ma Weiming is the leading military industry expert in the country, there is still a confidentiality agreement that needs to be signed because the fields overlap. After a few minutes of delay at the door, this mysterious factory was revealed to the electromagnetic master.

If the level of intelligence in the factory has opened the eyes of the Electromagnetic Master, then the state of the factory can only be described as full of admiration.

Countless smart devices and drones are dispatched in an orderly manner within the huge factory.

Small interactive devices are suspended above everyone's heads to serve the engineers.

Many engineers even wear unpowered exoskeletons, and some even have "armor" formed by intelligent units inside them, which seems to be flowing.

Ma Weiming: It’s great to have money

Shan Chunyuan proudly introduced the various facilities of the factory to the visitors. Any engineer would be proud of the working environment here.

When he heard that one engineer here could be five times more efficient, Ma Weiming's eyes popped out.

In fact, smart industry has already spread in the military industry system, and Zhou Rui does not keep this technology secret.

It's just that he was previously involved in aviation, aerospace, and a small part of the army. The navy where Ma Weiming worked was the only one he had never dealt with before, and everyone was completely divided.

When he saw the square short tower composed of intelligent units, the electromagnetic master showed great interest.

After Zhou Rui nodded, Ma Weiming took two pieces from the top and placed them in the palm of his hand.

"If a device of this size is not connected to an external power supply, the magnetic force will be very small."

Zhou Rui smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from an expert, and said, "Yes, the base is its external power supply."

After being separated from the whole body, the two intelligent units could only rely on themselves. Ma Weiming moved them away with a little force and touched his chin: "But there is still room for improvement. I will ask the institute to send you a miniature magnetic control unit later. have a look."

Zhou Rui: "Is this also within the scope of your research?"

Ma Weiming chuckled: "I don't only know about electromagnetic guns, hahaha."

When passing by the power group, Zhou Rui also called Qiu Lixun, who was also an academician, so he decided to meet him.

As for the rudimentary "Xingtian Fighter" that had already begun to be skinned, Ma Weiming did not give too much advice. He knew very well that there were separate lines like mountains, and an outsider could never command an expert.

I just studied the landing gear of the "Xingtian Fighter" for a moment, which is related to whether it can be electromagnetic ejection in the future.

After the visit, everyone went to the conference room on the side and conducted a simple consultation.

In fact, Ma Mingwei came in a hurry and did not originally preset "how to cooperate" or "whether to cooperate", but after this visit, his interest was obviously stronger.

Ma Mingwei said: "Actually, our electromagnetic ejection technology still has room for improvement. Although it is already a global leader, its reliability is still lacking for full-size fighters of more than 30 tons. By the way, I heard that the Veyron fighter is Academician Zhou designed it, right?”

Zhou Rui shook his head: "I am only involved in the Veyron. The designer is Chief Engineer Yang Wei."

"Well, in short, the Weilong fighter with the Bifang engine has the ability to take off and land on an aircraft carrier, which is unique in the world. After all, the Weilong is positioned as a heavy fighter rather than a carrier-based aircraft. But you know, with the assistance of electromagnetic catapults, it will be safer and more fuel-efficient. This is our current primary task."

"But I have another project on hand, which is very compatible with Mr. Zhou's Xingtian fighter. It is called the 'electromagnetic vertical launch of missiles' system, which is intended to be used on destroyers."

Electromagnetic catapults, in the final analysis, are "electricity for motion", and motion is kinetic energy.

Whether the plane takes off, or launches a basketball-sized super-electromagnetic cannon, or gives the missile an initial velocity, the core principle is the same.

Make it react faster, have a higher initial velocity, and be safer.

So the application field of electromagnetic catapults is actually very wide.

This electromagnetic master is still very proud when talking about his field. There is nothing wrong with him ranking first in the world.

The electromagnetic catapult technology of the United States lags behind him, even if the other party started research and development earlier.

Moreover, he is also "learning by analogy". In his eyes, electromagnetic guns, electromagnetic catapults, electromagnetic missile vertical launch, electromagnetic torpedo launch, etc. are all just a change of soup but not the medicine. One person has covered all the research.

This is why he is one of the chief scientists of the Navy. Warships can be lost, but Academician Ma cannot be lost.

Ma Weiming continued: "Electromagnetic vertical launch of missiles has the characteristics of shorter orbit, lighter load, faster response, and no need for human operation. I think it is similar to Xiao Dan's launcher?"

Shan Chunyuan quickly said: "Xingjia."

Ma Weiming paused and did not comment on the name.

"In short, I think the two sides can cooperate deeply, and we can also explore more practical application scenarios. According to the current performance, an aircraft of the quality of the Xingtian fighter can be accelerated to 150 meters per second, about 0.5 Mach, within 1.3 seconds."

"If the pilot is not considered, the orbit is longer. I roughly feel that as long as the material strength can withstand it, I think it is not impossible for the initial velocity to be directly supersonic."

Basically, the aircraft is launched as a missile.

No fuel is needed.

Awesome!

If it works with the engine at the same time, the acceleration will reach a very terrifying level.

The electromagnetic master smiled and said, "If Academician Zhou is interested, I can call my team here, I will lead the team, and we will work together to try new ideas."

In fact, with his weight, he can just go home and send his subordinates to do the work.

But he still has a little selfishness, that is, after seeing the fascinating Wanhu base, the electromagnetic master has moved his heart.

He wants to have fun.

After a brief communication, it was Zhou Rui's turn to supplement the confidentiality agreement. After signing a few papers, Zhou Rui got a document on "electromagnetic vertical launch technology" from Ma Weiming.

He touched his chin and looked for a while

Ma Weiming is very confident in his technology, and he believes that Zhou Rui will be interested.

He picked up the tea, smoothed the floating leaves, and said with a smile: "How about it, Mr. Zhou, do you want to try it?"

After a long time, Zhou Rui put down the information and asked a core question: "Academician Ma, does your thing work well in space?"

"Well, in theory it will work better, do you mean Nantianmen?"

"I mean the moon."

The electromagnetic master frowned.

I found that things were not simple.
