The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 23 Simulation: Efficient Thermal Energy Exchanger

"Mr. Ma only has thirty minutes to discuss with you. In thirty minutes, President Ma will go to Africa to meet with the heads of state of the two countries." Teacher Ma's assistant reminded.

"I know." Dong Jiangbo met Teacher Ma, who was once the richest man in China. Although he has now left the board of directors of Alibaba, he is still the invisible master of this giant company.

Mr. Ma now focuses more on investment than business operations. When changes occurred in the aerospace industry, he was keenly aware of Xingyao Space Technology Company and wanted to buy Xingyao Space Technology directly, but was rejected by Dong Jiangbo.

"Mr. Ma, we meet again. Nice to meet you." Dong Jiangbo and Teacher Ma have already met. This is the second time.

Teacher Ma wears a dark Chinese-style coat, gray cotton trousers and cloth shoes. This is his favorite dress of a hermit master.

After the two shook hands, Teacher Ma took a brief look at the documents compiled by the assistant. He put his hands on his knees and said: "Mr. Dong, our conditions are already very favorable. In the whole of China, I bet, except for Ali Baba, it is impossible There are companies offering better terms than us!”

Dong Jiangbo looked troubled and said: "It is absolutely impossible to give up the voting rights of Xingyao's board of directors. You must also know the reason for this."

"Although you are willing to invest, the investment amount does not reach my ideal amount, and we prefer to operate independently and limit ourselves to technical cooperation, rather than letting Ali's management join Xingyao."

Teacher Ma shook his head and said: "Your thoughts are too shallow. Ali's joining is the best of both worlds. Our business capabilities, big data technology, and talent reserves can help Xingyao go further."

"As for the 10 billion investment you proposed, Ali is not without money, but you have to give me a reason to convince me."

"Mr. Ma, Du Xingyu is my junior brother. As long as he can get this 10 billion investment, he will serve as Shining Star's special technology consultant to help develop rocket and spacecraft technology!" Dong Jiangbo said, "The future of commercial rockets lies in here!"

"I know that kid is a very capable young man." Teacher Ma smiled and said, "But that doesn't convince me to spend 10 billion on rocket technology. You are too far behind..."

The negotiation between Dong Jiangbo and Teacher Ma did not go smoothly. In the final analysis, Teacher Ma was only willing to invest one billion, and other funds and investors were similar.

Dong Jiangbo went to meet with several other domestic giant companies, such as Penguin and Huawei, but received similar responses.

They are willing to invest some money, but if it takes 10 billion, these companies are not willing. The reason is very simple. The current strength of the Star Rocket is too weak, and these large companies do not attach much importance to the commercial benefits brought by space exploration.

"It's difficult!" Dong Jiangbo lamented when chatting with Du Xingyu Weixin, "I have visited many investment institutions. If I really want to calculate it, it is a bit difficult to get an investment of 2 to 3 billion, or 10 billion."

Du Xingyu replied: "Brother, they underestimated the development speed of space technology. If they knew that humans would soon be able to enter space activities, they would not think so."

Dong Jiangbo said helplessly: "I don't blame them for not believing it, our Xingyao rocket is too weak. If we also have the strength of the Space Exploration Technology Company, I'm afraid these companies will rush to send money."

Du Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you don't need to be too anxious. Now you can take advantage of this wave of space craze to absorb more funds and recruit talents."

"I think in three months, I should be able to prove to them that the era of space exploration is coming!"

"???" Dong Jiangbo asked curiously, "Three months, what will happen in three months?"

"I can't say this for now. It's a confidential mission." Du Xingyu said, "Anyway, you will know in three months."

"Okay!" Although Dong Jiangbo was still full of doubts, he chose to believe Du Xingyu and said, "Then I will make good arrangements and wait for your good news in three months!"

Du Xingyu of the Nuclear Powered Rocket Research Group was sitting in the office. He put down his mobile phone and looked at the three-dimensional design drawings on the computer.

It has been two months since the nuclear-powered rocket project was established. During these two months, he has relied on technological simulators to complete problems such as reactor control, exhaust pollution and radiation protection. The most important thing now is the nuclear-powered rocket thruster. the design of.

On the technology simulator, 50% of the thruster design progress has been completed, and he estimates that the results will be available this month.

Most of the rocket body part has been manufactured...

"Try to complete the design of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster within half a month, one month for manufacturing and assembly... and one month for debugging." Du Xingyu calculated in his mind.

Three months later, the space agency has a number of important satellites and detectors to be launched. Among them is the Chang'e-5 lunar probe, the final work of the third phase of China's lunar exploration project.

Before the Chang'e-5 probe, the China Space Administration had launched Chang'e-1 to Chang'e-4 probes, each of which had more advanced functions than the last.

The Chang'e-5 probe, which has been debugged and is waiting for launch, is China's first probe with the function of sampling on the lunar surface and returning to the earth!

When it is launched, it will definitely attract public attention. If the nuclear-powered rocket can undertake the mission of launching the Chang'e-5 probe, the name of the nuclear-powered rocket will also be known to the world.

As long as he can successfully build a nuclear-powered rocket and ensure safety, Du Xingyu is not worried that the higher authorities will not approve the test launch. Because the China Space Administration has a manufacturing habit of "preparing with both hands", detectors like Chang'e-5 are built two at a time, leaving one as a spare.

For example, the Tianwen-1 Mars probe that was launched last time has a spare one in the space agency, which is being renovated and is ready to be launched as the second Mars probe.

Du Xingyu opened the technology simulator, invested 100,000 energy points, and began the simulation design of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster.

In his mind, he is building a "high-efficiency heat exchanger", a device to utilize nuclear energy.

The nuclear reactor under design is a nuclear fission reactor, which has a strong risk of radiation contamination. Once the heat energy cannot be controlled well, it may cause an explosion!

At that time, this nuclear-powered rocket will become a small nuclear bomb! So this step is crucial!

"Research and development successful!" Following the prompt of the technology simulator, the drawing of the high-efficiency thermal energy exchanger was lit up.

Du Xingyu took a look and continued: "Invest 100,000 points of energy and start the turbine pump component simulation!"

"The turbine pump assembly is being simulated, please select the design plan and related parts." In front of Du Xingyu, sketches of various plans and the styles of corresponding materials and parts appeared.
