There is only a pile of gravel lying on the bare island, and the golden sandy beach stretches all the way into the sea, alternating with green and blue coastal scenery. This island with only bare reefs and rocks is the southeasternmost island of New Zealand, located north of the equator.
The flat land and wide sandbar are its only advantages. The factory building standing in the center of the island has not yet been painted, and it was obviously built not long ago.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's private yacht docked at the simple fisherman's wharf on the edge of the island.
This wharf originally belonged to a certain fisherman from Xinguo. The honest fisherman didn't even know that the regime had changed. It wasn't until someone from Starring Trading Company showed him the real estate certificate that he realized the fact that he was illegally occupying private land. .
However, Jiang Chen did not make things difficult for him and bought this simple wooden dock and the nearby fishing ground from him for US$10,000.
As a result, this pier became the only building on this deserted island, except for the factory building in the center of the island.
"This is where our company is located?" Looking at the bare factory building, the corner of Kerwin's mouth twitched.
He felt he had been cheated out of the contract.
This is nothing to work for, it's like being in exile.
"Of course not. Before the office building is built, you will temporarily work in the Star Ring Trading Headquarters Building on Koro Island. Of course, your main task is to study the information I provided to you."
"Ah ha? The information you provided us." Kerwin raised his eyebrows, obviously dismissive of Jiang Chen's statement.
Regarding Kerwin's arrogance, Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't give any explanation.
"We're already here, let's get off the boat."
Because there is no vegetation, the soil here has been exposed to sunlight for many years, making it look fine and hot. Stepping on the sand outside the pier, Ayesha, wearing small thin-soled sandals, clearly felt uncomfortable. However, she did not show any discomfort, she just wrinkled slightly.
However, this subtle change did not escape Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Why don't you go to the boat to rest for a while? Anyway, it's safe on this island, and you don't need to worry about anything happening to me." Noticing Aisha's discomfort, Jiang Chen said considerately in her ear.
Ayesha's cheeks were slightly red after being seen through.
After some hesitation. She stopped trying to be brave, nodded, and frankly accepted Jiang Chen's concern.
"Um."
Looking at Aisha returning to the boat, Jiang Chen smiled. He turned around to greet Kerwin and walked with him towards the warehouse in the center of the island.
After pushing open the door of the warehouse, Jiang Chen brushed away the dust from his nose, walked to the edge of the warehouse and opened the metal shutters.
As sunlight streamed into the room, Kerwin noticed the rocket engine placed on a large square iron frame.
Cylindrical body. The bowl-shaped tail end is slightly smaller than the Merlin engine of the -X, which makes people wonder whether it can bear a rocket that is more than ten times its size.
"What is this?" Kerwin stepped forward and tapped it with his finger.
"The RM-320 rocket engine is the technology I'm going to show you." As he spoke, Jiang Chen handed a tablet computer containing technical parameters and 3D concept drawings to his hand.
This is the rocket engine that Jiang Lin showed to Jiang Chen at the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology last time. It is also the normal size version of the Beifeng-76 (pseudo) ballistic missile engine deployed by NAC in Shenxiang Town.
From a screw to a wire, this engine is completely built using 3D printing technology and costs 30,000 credits. The propellant used in the rocket is made by Lin Ling and costs about 1,000 credits per ton. But because the materials can be transported from this world. The actual cost of these gadgets may be cheaper.
Because of the emergence of space elevators, working medium propulsion rocket technology for aerospace purposes was eliminated at the end of the 21st century. Therefore, this RM-320 rocket engine can be regarded as the most advanced manned space rocket in the wasteland in a sense.
The engine casing made of advanced materials can withstand a high temperature of 10,000 degrees, and the pressure in the combustion chamber can reach 500 atmospheres. The most important thing is that the thrust-to-value ratio of a rocket built with this engine can even reach a terrifying 1:300! Undoubtedly a blast - Company X’s Falcon Rocket 1:>
"This is nonsense. Such an engine is impossible to realize with current technology. What about the materials? Ordinary engines cannot withstand such pressure and high temperature... How is this possible... Wait, what is the chemical formula of this rocket propellant? thing."
Kerwin frowned, and the expression on his face kept changing. Sometimes he shakes his head. Sometimes surprised, sometimes eyes wide open...
In the end, his expression was frozen in astonishment.
"This is ridiculous, no... this is too genius." He muttered to himself. Kerwin's hand holding the tablet kept shaking, "This can definitely work, no, it can only work in theory... But if it is realized, -X's Falcon rocket will become a joke. But this is too ridiculous... "
Suddenly, he looked at Jiang Chen. Applied enthusiastically grabbed Jiang Chen's shoulders.
"Please, can you introduce me to the designer of this rocket engine? He is simply a genius."
"I will convey your compliments to you, but I'm sorry, I can't introduce him to you for the time being." Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Why! Are you worried that I will leak the secret? Don't worry, I will sign the confidentiality agreement no matter how harsh it is, please! I hope to ask him about many questions in person." Kerwin said excitedly.
At this moment, his face no longer had the contempt he had when he got off the boat.
The design concept and technological innovation of this rocket engine deeply impressed him and shattered his pride in technology.
"No, please don't get me wrong. I trust your character very much. It's just that the designer of this rocket is currently working on a space shuttle project and doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone... Well, you can understand that he is in a... In a state of retreat. I promise that if I have the opportunity, I will definitely introduce him to you. As for your question, I will provide you with a detailed rocket design drawing, and you should be able to get the answer from it. If this still I can't solve your confusion, I can convey your problem for you." Jiang Chen said casually.
Just kidding, the designer of this rocket hasn’t been born yet, where can you find him? In the future, when the jump bracelet can take people through time, just pull that kid Jiang Lin over to replenish the number.
"Wait a minute, I have another question. Such a rocket engine is impossible to complete with the industrial base of New Zealand... The manufacturing capabilities of the United States are also insufficient. Where did you make it from-"
"This is it." Jiang Chen smiled.
"That's it?" Kerwin was stunned.
"You should have heard of 3D printing technology. This rocket engine is manufactured by an industrial-grade 3D printer."
Can a 3D printer print such high-strength materials? And that "industrial grade 3D printer". What kind of new term is it
Kerwin was completely immersed in the shock of the new technology, and for a moment he forgot his words.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen coughed slightly, interrupting his thoughts.
"Okay, now that you've finished reading. Mr. Kerwin, our trip is over today... It's time to go back."
"No! Let me stay here! Please!" Kerwin gently stroked the casing of the engine. His enthusiastic expression and movements were like stroking and touching the skin of his lover.
Although he was very satisfied with the enthusiastic attitude of his scientists towards technology, Jiang Chen always felt that this action was inexplicably disgusting...
"Mr. Kerwin, I have to remind you that there is nothing here. The Star Ring Trading Headquarters building has air conditioning, endless coffee, and complete design drawings about this rocket engine. Even if you work there - "
Kerwin interrupted Jiang Chen rudely and said unceremoniously.
"Just give me a tent, I'll sleep here! And bring those documents over for me, please!"
Jiang Chen suppressed his smile, nodded and said.
"If you insist." (.)
