Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Yanjing, a conference room.

After receiving the short notice, Cai Yaobin rushed to the venue and found that dozens of familiar faces were already sitting here.

But apart from the different departments they were in, the only thing they had in common was that, like him, they looked confused and didn't know why they were suddenly called here.

After finding his own seat and sitting down, and waiting patiently for five minutes, Cai Yaobin saw the familiar figure of the old man.

After he walked quickly onto the stage, he glanced at everyone present with a red face, and went straight to the topic: "First of all, let me share the good news with you. Academician Kang's booster test launch in Jiuquan was successful!"

"Booster?"

"What booster?"

Since this test launch was highly confidential, many people were a little confused after hearing it.

But soon someone handed them a document.

After getting the document, Cai Yaobin immediately opened the cover. After seeing the detailed parameters and experimental data about the Tongtian-1 booster in the text, his heart suddenly started to beat...

Good guy,

During this period of time, I did another big job quietly, right?

The thrust of a single engine is 350 tons, and the total thrust of the booster is 4550 tons!

Looking at such exaggerated data, Cai Yaobin couldn't believe his eyes.

Although China's aerospace capabilities have indeed continued to grow in recent years, and even have a faint tendency to surpass some established aerospace powers, in the field of aerospace engines, we have always been at a considerable disadvantage.

Although the Long March 9 heavy-lift launch vehicle under development has a take-off weight and thrust of 3,000 tons and 4,000 tons respectively, which is almost twice as high as the Falcon Heavy,

But that is a planned project after all, and it will only be possible around 2030.

As far as the rockets currently in service are concerned, the Long March 5 with the strongest carrying capacity and thrust is still 32 tons in LEO (low earth orbit) and 1,068 tons in sea level thrust...

On the other hand, SpaceX’s starships with a thrust of over 7,000 tons have been successfully tested several times.

Instead of narrowing, the gap between the two sides is widening.

To say that I'm not in a hurry would be a lie.

The emergence of the Kangchi booster instantly filled the gap in super-heavy rocket engines, which undoubtedly gave everyone reassurance.

However, when Cai Yaobin continued to look down, he discovered that the thrust data was only the least impressive among the data.

Such a high-thrust booster only weighs 500 tons!

It can be filled with up to 1,000 tons of booster, and it is also very compact, which greatly reduces the drag coefficient.

What's more important is that this thing is also recyclable!

What magical data is this! ! ?

There was silence in the entire conference room, and everyone was shocked and speechless by the document in front of them.

If this booster had been released a few years earlier, there would have been no need to launch it in dozens of times when building a space station!

Can the entire space station be sent up in one go? !

"Is this data... okay?"

The old man couldn't help but smile: "How can this be false? Even if you don't believe Academician Kang, you should believe my words, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately suppressed their suspicions. That kind of unimaginable but unquestionable feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it was...

"Old Yan, tell me your opinion first."

"My mind is still a little confused right now... Why don't Director Cai talk about it first?"

So everyone turned their attention to Cai Yaobin, the youngest, lowest-ranking person in the room, and also the most junior...

Cai Yaobin, who was pushed out, was immediately stressed. After thinking for a moment, he said bravely: "I think we can partially upgrade the existing missile system based on this booster."

"The truth is only within the range of the cannon! And with the performance of this booster, it can completely increase the range of our missiles several times or even dozens of times!"

"At that time, let alone precision strikes on a global scale, we can just fly around the earth a few times and make all the enemy's interceptor missiles run out of fuel and then attack again..."

"Then it's overkill." Although Chief Shen was also very excited, he calmly analyzed, "With this booster, we don't have to worry about sending things into space in the future."

"Weren't we always discussing the feasibility of aerial bombers before?"

"It just so happens that Academician Kang's current goal is to build a space shuttle. In fact, from my point of view, the space shuttle and the aerospace shuttle are actually very similar, they just have different names."

"When the time comes, let him modify a few space shuttles specially equipped with missiles. The missiles launched directly from space will be more effective than any ground-based missiles!"

"It makes sense." Cai Yaobin immediately nodded in agreement after hearing this: "I didn't think about it. Director Shen's plan not only eliminates the cost of upgrading the missile, but also allows the original missile to continue to shine and heat in space. At the same time, the launch response speed, Performance such as mobility and range can also be greatly enhanced..."

"Ahem, the orbital bomber is really powerful, and we must definitely do it." Director Ge couldn't help but interjected, "But can this matter be put aside later?"

"Old M was scared out of his wits a while ago. If you have an aerial bomber loaded with nuclear bombs hanging over their heads all day long, are you really not afraid of them jumping over the wall?"

"Who said we were going to hang over their heads? Why don't we just carry conventional weapons and fly around them?"

"You...even if you don't consider other people's feelings, you should always consider Academician Kang's feelings, right?"

"They have just developed the booster, and the space shuttle has not yet appeared. You are helping them plan for the future. Have you considered the production capacity issue? Have you asked them their opinions?"

"Well……"

This group of military bosses who suffered from severe 'fear of lack of firepower' stopped immediately after hearing Kang Chi's name.

When it comes to the list of people they dare not offend now, Kang Chi can definitely be ranked in the top three.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

After all, I have helped them produce so much high-tech military equipment, so I don't think I will have to remember the past friendship in the future.

"What Director Ge just said makes sense." Seeing that the atmosphere at the venue was cold, the old man on the stage said, "Academician Kang has his own plans and directions. As long as there are no major deviations, we will try not to interfere or influence him. "

"In addition, the mysterious star is now our key focus in the aerospace field. Before we understand the mysterious star, we must carefully calculate every KG of supplies we deliver into space. In addition, landing on the moon Projects, space station expansion projects, etc. are all of higher priority.”

"In short, when all conditions are mature, with the planning performance of Academician Kang's Qingtian, it will be no problem to build a space fortress, let alone an aerospace bomber."

Space Fortress?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this word of advanced pie come out of the old man's mouth.

If this had been done a few years ago, even the Zhan Lu Bureau, which was famous for its boldness, would probably not have dared to mention it, right?

It can be seen that Kang Chi's amazing performance in recent years has made the old man, who has always been steady, become more ambitious.

The most popular slogan in the past was ‘Great Revival’.

But revival has become an unstoppable fact, so what he talks about most now has become 'carry on the past and forge ahead, and bravely stand at the forefront! ’

"However, the main purpose of calling you here today is not to discuss how to properly utilize the phased results of the Qingtian Project."

Just when everyone was filled with longing, the old man suddenly changed the topic and cooled them down:

"I hope your departments will go back and think carefully about which existing projects overlap or conflict with the Qingtian Plan. Is it necessary to adjust, suspend or even cancel them directly?"

"After these projects are cancelled, what new projects with higher priority can be started?"

"In addition, before starting a relatively major project, is it necessary to consult Academician Kang for his opinion..."

Everyone's expressions seemed a little complicated after hearing this.

Cutting down projects and starting new projects, the workload is a bit heavy.

But what’s more important is the old man’s last sentence,

Can I ask Academician Kang a little bit?

There are two meanings revealed here,

First of all, Kang Chi must be consulted before embarking on a big project. In fact, he seems to have been placed in a position similar to 'chief scientist'.

Another meaning is that they should avoid colliding with Academician Kang's scientific research, thus causing unnecessary waste of resources.

To be able to make such special adjustments, you can imagine how absolute his trust in Kang Chi is...
