Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

After Professor Ye left, Kang Chi did not rush to leave, but took this opportunity to talk to Li Xinqiang about the chief engineer of the moon landing, which was briefly mentioned at the award ceremony last time.

"...Helium-3 on the moon is a real controllable nuclear fusion fuel, and mining helium-3 on the moon is an urgent matter, so it's not that I have no interest in the moon, but I prefer to do it myself according to my own company's model. The position of chief engineer of manned lunar landing is probably not suitable for me."

After saying his thoughts, Kang Chi asked: "And I don't know if you have heard that I have developed some robots before..."

"Well, I know this!"

Although the confidentiality level of war robots is very high, Li Xinqiang, a big man in the aerospace research community, is definitely qualified to know.

The last time the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology were "popularizing" the installation and use of quantum communication chips to Li Xinqiang, they also demonstrated the robot called "Harvester" on the spot.

Li Xinqiang still remembers what happened that day, because he has never been so shocked in his life.

Whether it is the robot itself or its core quantum communication chip, it is definitely a leap forward in modern science and technology.

In particular, the communication problem solved by the quantum communication chip can enable military aircraft and ships to communicate more covertly, safely and efficiently, and can also unscrupulously block and interfere with the enemy in the full frequency band...

However, it cannot be said to be unscrupulous. Quantum communication solves the communication problem, but it cannot solve the problem of positioning and navigation.

At present, in order to solve the navigation problem in the electromagnetic interference area, the military adopts the navigation relay method, that is, to leave a "locator" responsible for tracking friendly targets outside the interference area, and then tell the friendly party its position in real time through quantum communication. Because tracking can only use relatively primitive methods such as optics and heat sources, the interference area is too large, and multiple "locators" must be set up to relay, so as to ensure that the friendly party can maintain a certain navigation function in the full-band blocking interference area.

As for the enemy, in this environment, they become blind and deaf.

Without communication, there is no communication. Without navigation, you don’t even know where your home is, let alone find the enemy.

If a fighter enters such an area, it can only fly aimlessly. If this interference area also has a "tracking attribute"...

Then the final outcome of this fighter is either to run out of fuel and fall into the sea, or to find a flat ground that can be seen and make an emergency landing. The risk of fried chicken is extremely high!

It is precisely because electronic warfare is smokeless and no shots are fired during the whole process, so this kind of "actual combat" actually happened frequently in Nanhai before, and it can even be said that both sides fought "unscrupulously".

After all, there is no such thing as "who fired the first shot". This is like two people shaking hands and secretly competing with each other. It is really cool to win, and it is really painful to lose.

But on the surface, everyone is still smiling, just constantly "getting to know" each other again in their hearts.

To be honest, the international definition of war is outdated. There are too many forms of modern and future wars. It is not necessary for bombs to fall on people's heads and turn into a hot war. What many people think of as peace is actually just an appearance. In many invisible places, even brains may be beaten out...

In short, quantum communication plays a huge role in the field of military communications, and it can be said to be a cheat for spacecraft.

Take Lucy's disappearance as an example. In fact, it is essentially the intelligent program's insufficient ability to handle emergencies. If there is no one-hour delay in its communication with the earth, the command center may be able to avoid accidents through manual control.

Therefore, after the initial mass production of quantum communication chips of Dahan Xinye, the supply priority of the aerospace industry is actually higher than that of the military.

Since June last year, all rockets and probes launched by China Aerospace have actually used quantum communication chips.

The actual use experience is simply amazing!

The only regret is that the data transmission capacity of a quantum communication chip is only 4TB, and the durability is not high.

So now they either install a few more, or even dozens of them, or use them together.

Traditional communications are responsible for transmitting data that is of low importance, large in size, and has long-term stable transmission requirements, while quantum communication chips are mainly responsible for processing important flight, orbit change, docking and other data related to control and safety.

It is precisely because he knew how terrible this thing was that Li Xinqiang had no temper when he heard that Kang Chi was the first to win the award at the award ceremony.

The results that this guy has already announced are already exaggerated, not to mention the things he has done secretly.

If he is willing to engage in aerospace, I don’t know what kind of surprises he will bring to China...

Li Xinqiang’s expectations for Kang Chi to join the moon landing project are simply too high. Now that he heard that Kang Chi politely rejected the moon landing project, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

However, when he heard the word "robot", he vaguely guessed Kang Chi’s thoughts.

"Do you think that with this kind of remote-controlled robot, there is no need for manned moon landing?"

"More or less." Kang Chi nodded, "If you don't dwell on the historical significance, sending this kind of robot to the moon is much more cost-effective and safer. The key is that this thing doesn't need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate. As long as the charging problem is solved, it can basically last indefinitely. There are so many things it can do after being sent to the moon..."

"And in terms of historical significance, the second successful manned landing on the moon seems to be nothing to be obsessed with. We might as well take it slow and send some robots to explore the path first. Before actually sending people to the moon, we have to build one first. Are there three rooms and one living room for people to live in? Our astronauts are all treasures. They can’t live in too shabby a place so far away from home, right? And given the aerospace capabilities of other countries, they may achieve second place by then. It’s still ours, there’s no need to rush.”

Li Xinqiang: "..."

Good guy,

What people think about is whether they can send people to the moon and come back safely.

It's better for you. What you are thinking about is whether astronauts will be comfortable living on the moon?

Three bedrooms and one living room?

Why don't you talk about the Moon Pool Villa?

The key point is that Kang Chi's serious expression didn't look like he was joking with him at all...

Li Xinqiang pondered for a moment before speaking: "The country is actually very open to the aerospace field, and has even been encouraging private companies to engage in aerospace research and development. However, domestic capital is not very interested in this kind of field where there is little profit in the short to medium term. I’m interested, so there hasn’t been much progress.”

"It doesn't matter if you want to use the company's power to land on the moon. Even if you put aside your personal influence and choose someone else, the higher-ups will definitely support you. If you need help from our Aerospace Technology Group, you can still come to us. ”

"In addition, in fact, your idea of ​​a steady and steady approach has been something I have thought about after seeing your robot. It actually just adds some preliminary support work to the manned moon landing project, or it disrupts the planned sequence of the moon landing project. , turning the Guanghan Palace construction plan and the moon landing into parallel plans..."

Speaking of this, Li Xinqiang suddenly paused.

"Well...I suddenly had an idea. How about I discuss it with the leader first and talk to you about it tomorrow?"

"Okay." Kang Chi nodded, "Anyway, I have to wait until the matter of Tianwen No. 2 is settled before going back."

"Okay, I won't send you there if you have a driver. Let's have a casual meal together next time we have time."

"no problem!"

After watching Kang Chi and Chen Hai leave, Li Xinqiang immediately made a phone call, and then came to the National Space Administration with Shi Lifei, the chairman of Aerospace Science and Technology.

Director Ge, who was in a meeting, quickly ended the meeting after receiving a call from Li Xinqiang, and then returned to the office to wait for them. When he saw the secretary bringing the two people in, he couldn't help but stood up and asked Li Xinqiang: "Is Academician Kang really here?" Looking for you?"

Li Xinqiang nodded, and first told Director Ge about Lucy's disappearance and the diversion of Tianwen-2.

"Well... since Academician Kang attaches so much importance to it, and this matter is indeed a bit abnormal, it is not impossible to temporarily change the goal of Tianwen 2... As long as Professor Ye's calculation results are correct, I will immediately go and do it for Chief Engineer Zhang Doing ideological work, Academician Li’s side..."

Director Ge's landline phone rang before he finished speaking. After answering the call, he immediately smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, and Academician Li will be chatting about you in my office right now... Yes, I know, okay, okay. , as long as you have no objection, I agree, okay, let’s do this first... By the way, don’t forget to submit a written application. "

After hanging up the phone, he immediately raised his head and looked at Li Xinqiang: "General Manager Zhang took the initiative to propose the diversion. It seems that Professor Ye is more anxious than us."

Li Xinqiang immediately smiled: "That's good."

Although the temporary change of the detection plan of Tianwen-2 is quite a big matter, it can actually be solved with a phone call, and there is no need for these two big guys to come over to talk. Therefore, Director Ge then asked: "Besides this, what else are there? What's the matter?"

Li Xinqiang nodded: "It's about my previous proposal to let Academician Kang serve as the chief engineer of the moon landing."

Director Ge was immediately overjoyed and said, "Did he accept it?"

"No."

"That's good...eh? Wait, you said no?"

"Yes, he refused."

"Why?" Director Ge couldn't help but said a little disappointed, "He still wants to engage in military industry?"

"Probably not. His drone aircraft carrier plan is now waiting for Chief Engineer Ren's aircraft carrier to be launched, and the overall situation of Liu Chief's side has been decided, so this matter is no longer urgent. He should have time to do it next. Aerospace engineering, but he still wants to do it in his own company..."

After Li Xinqiang simply relayed Kang Chi's thoughts, he finally expressed his thoughts: "Actually, I think the difference between this matter is not big. We don't need to be obsessed with who the chief engineer of the moon landing is, let alone the moon landing project. Was it completed by our Aerospace Technology Group? After all, we are all a family..."

"We can definitely follow NASA's lead and outsource the project directly to him. Otherwise, if we are going to land on the moon and they are going to land on the moon, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Director Ge was so excited when he heard that Kang Chi was interested in aerospace development.

Especially the idea of ​​building three bedrooms and one living room and then sending people there is simply not to his liking!

However, Li Xinqiang's suggestion made him seem a little embarrassed.

Engineering outsourcing is indeed a good model, but the problem is that Party A, who outsources engineering, usually has its own engineering design drawings, and the contractor can only build according to Party A's design.

And Kang Chi is obviously the kind of person who has his own ideas and likes to do things his own way...

But what kind of contract is it if he is left to his own free will?

At best, he is an investor.

The problem comes again, Kang Chi doesn’t seem to be short of money...

His companies and projects have never been accessible to anyone who wants to invest.

Based on his record, it sounds good to say that it is investment, and it sounds bad to say that it is picking peaches.

Therefore, unless Kang Chi takes the initiative to propose it, no one dares to take the initiative to ask for investment, especially since they are state-owned assets, which can easily cause controversy.

Shi Lifei looked at Director Ge's embarrassed expression and naturally guessed that he should have the same idea as himself, so he took the initiative to speak to Li Xinqiang: "Academician Li, I think you are actually a little overthinking..."

"Just now you also said that Academician Kang's goal is actually to collect helium 3 on the moon, which has a strong commercial purpose and nature. This involves commercial interests. I think it is best not to make it too complicated. Moreover, our lunar exploration project is relatively simple. It is a scientific research task to send people up. This is actually just one of the small projects in General Kang's plan."

"Well... what do you mean?"

"I suggest that we just suspend our lunar landing plan and support his plan from the policy and industry. "Shi Lifei said with a smile, "When he really builds a base on the moon, can he not let our people live there? At most, we can pay him for the car fare and accommodation fee... Isn't this much less troublesome than doing it ourselves?"

Li Xinqiang: "..."

"In fact, even if we don't pay for the car fare and accommodation fee, he will definitely send people there, otherwise who will live in the three-bedroom and one-living room he built? Why do robots need to live so well?" After listening to Shi Lifei's words, Director Ge couldn't help but add with a smile, "And as long as he sends a Chinese astronaut, then our moon landing plan is equivalent to not spending a penny, and we can complete it directly by lying down!"

Li Xinqiang: "..."

Good guy,

You two have even thought of the lying position, right? ! !
