After returning to the office, Lu Zhou took the lunch box from the cafeteria from Wang Peng, picked up the chopsticks and chopped it clean, not forgetting to burp afterwards.
"... I also hope that you can live a long and healthy life. For people like us, it's enough to live to be sixty or seventy years old, whether you smoke or not, that's about the same number."
This factory, guarded by troops, can be said to be the safest and most confidential place in the entire park.
Academician Lu really plans to build an "electromagnetic cannon" to shoot things on the moon directly to the earth.
"What about the standard? Is it the collider kind?"
How can people be the same
Upon hearing Lu Zhou's request, the engineer had a surprised expression on his face and took a breath.
The slightly younger engineer clicked his tongue, a little unimaginable.
"This, isn't this just curiosity..."
Wang Peng sighed and said.
From Xiangrui to Queqiao, 90% of the spacecraft that travel to and from the Earth-Moon system are finalized here and sent to the space launch center not far from here for low-Earth orbit.
A hundred years from now, no one may remember that a certain subsidiary of Huatie Group had a technical director named Chen, but they will definitely remember the name that made the impossible possible with a wave of his hand.
Judging from his work clothes, he does not belong to the Space Shuttle Assembly Center, but to a subsidiary of Huatie Group.
As he spoke, the old engineer sighed and shook his head.
"This was only found at home. It is said that his plot is a bit serious. He is not just accepting bribes, but he is also related to foreign forces."
The old master glanced sideways at the young engineer, stared at him and threatened.
After spending the whole morning with the people from Huatie Group, watching them assemble and demonstrate the latest lunar shield machine, Lu Zhou didn't even have time to eat lunch.
If Jinling has gradually become the heart of China’s space industry due to the existence of Star Technology and the presence of a series of aerospace companies such as Hangke Aerospace Group, then this is the marrow of hematopoiesis.
"If someone in this world could do it, I wouldn't come here to find you." Seeing Gong Chen make a joke, Lu Zhou continued, "Jinling Institute for Advanced Study plans to set up a dedicated research team. The goal of designing this lunar mass projector is to project minerals mined from the lunar surface directly to low orbit or even the entrance to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. Whether it is completed in space or directly transported back to the earth, this is quite effective. necessary."
"Throw away the cigarette in your pocket and say this to me."
"It's not expensive anymore. The titanium alloy frame alone costs tens of millions, not to mention the other technologies inside."
“Can’t you eat something healthy?”
Taking out a tissue and calmly wiping his mouth, Lu Zhou said nonchalantly.
Chen Yongliang was slightly stunned.
He is the chief designer, so he doesn't need to worry about purchasing. Of course, someone who quotes will evaluate whether it's expensive or not. He just talks casually based on his feelings.
At this moment, standing next to Lu Zhou was an old engineer about fifty years old. The name written on his work badge was Chen Yongliang, and his position was deputy manager and technical director.
"No, who else could he be? It is said that when the criminal police took people to his house, they found two suitcases of gold bars."
"Yes! Of course I do! Haha, I'm afraid everyone will refuse such a request. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with Jinling Institute for Advanced Study!"
Since the launch of the Lunar Hadron Collider project, Huatie Group has followed the footsteps of Star Technology and entered the space field from ground-based high-speed rail and maglev orbit projects.
The whole body is made of lightweight titanium alloy material, and its modular design allows it to be assembled solely by its own power without the help of large engineering equipment such as cranes.
The shield machine in front of Lu Zhou at this moment can be regarded as one of the by-products of this accelerator project.
Squinting at the trucks lined up in the garage not far away, the slightly younger engineer continued.
2.5 kilometers per second, which is already higher than the escape velocity of the moon. Is this the plan to launch the cargo directly into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit
"Who would have thought that this would happen? Thanks to the timely discovery of the problem, it would be great if he climbed to the position of district chief."
Although he was suspicious, he couldn't say anything. After all, what this big boss decided to do, no matter how exaggerated it sounds, has become a reality so far.
"... This is the latest shield machine we produce. The main material is titanium alloy. The total weight after assembly is only 50 tons. It is suitable for low gravity environments and can dig into the lunar soil at a maximum depth of 20 meters. The lunar surface hadrons are The tunnel for the collision was dug with this thing.”
The accelerating track, which is hundreds of kilometers long and distributed along the inside of the crater, is a masterpiece of the joint efforts of countless engineers and researchers from Huatie Group and Hangke Aerospace Group.
He really guessed it.
The words aerospace and railway may sound like they don’t go together well, but in fact they are already a thing of the past era.
Before Chen Gong could speak, the general manager, who was standing next to Lu Zhou and had been waiting for a chance to interrupt, quickly took over and spoke.
"... It's really baffling. I just asked casually whether the reaction was so big."
In any case, if converted into RMB, this is already a figure that he will never earn in his lifetime.
"Next time, remember to bring me a bottle of Coke. If I don't drink anything during meals, I always feel choked."
"In my day, a district chief could earn so much."
"How much is the quote?"
"There must be some differences from the collider. At least it must be wider, and the speed limit must be higher." Lu Zhou smiled, narrowed his eyes at the steel frame in front of him, and continued, "I need it Can you accelerate a mass of 50 tons to 2.5km/s in 2 minutes... Can you do it?"
"The total length is 20 to 40 kilometers."
The lunch break is over, and the engineers in Factory No. 1 have returned to work one after another.
Maybe it's because his level has not yet reached the height and spiritual level of Academician Lu, or in other words, it is still too tacky, but no matter which angle he looks at it, Academician Lu's words are really too idealistic.
On the edge of Jinling High-tech Park, the space shuttle assembly center.
Chen Yongliang: "Sixty million!"
How much gold can be held in two suitcases
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't know. People are panicking about this matter recently. Talk less and do more. Get to work quickly and don't linger here."
Old engineer: "I don't know. I heard it's some big project."
Hearing these words, Wang Peng couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Why are you asking so many questions? You also want to earn US dollars?"
"At present, we have applied for special funds from the country. The initial budget is 10 billion. If the situation is optimistic, we will continue to add more in the future. You are also considered the top company in the country in the two fields of magnetic levitation technology and electromagnetic acceleration technology, especially in the field of magnetic levitation technology and electromagnetic acceleration technology. At the application level, I don’t know if you are interested.”
Perhaps, this is the person standing on the shoulders of the times.
Generally speaking, the shield machine made of steel materials has a weight of fifty or sixty, and the weight of the front shield, middle shield, and tail shield can easily reach hundreds. However, the weight of this large shield machine is The weight is just over fifty.
Looking at the back of a group of people walking towards the office, Chen Yongliang couldn't help but feel a little envious...
Seeing the chief designer shaking his head, Chen Gong quickly explained.
Thinking of this, Chen Yongliang couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
After looking at the equipment for a long time, the general manager of the Huatie Group subsidiary next to him who had been silent began to beat his heart. When hesitating about whether to say something, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.
This kind of society is simply unimaginable...
Following the old engineer, the young man who was speechless by the inexplicable retort muttered and buckled the straps of his helmet.
Listening to the conversation between the two big guys, Chen Gong clicked his tongue.
"It's also an honor for us."
"I don't like this sentence. Everyone is born the same."
"There have been quite a few big tigers that have been killed recently. I heard Lao Wang and his friends bragging while I was having dinner yesterday. It is said that even the deputy director of the Jinling High-tech Industrial Park Development Zone was under investigation."
“It’s a bit expensive.”
…
On the other side of the factory building, next to a huge steel support, a group of experts wearing hard hats had been standing there as early as the morning, as if they had never left the vicinity.
"What project do you think it will be?"
"You said, the traffic of our original car has been a bit frequent recently."
Standing at the door of Factory No. 1 of the assembly center, two engineers wearing hard hats looked at the workers and mechanical equipment unloading goods not far away, chatting incessantly.
Patting the young man on the shoulder, the old engineer fastened the straps of his helmet, turned around and walked towards the factory.
Wang Peng shrugged, naturally he would not talk back to Lu Zhou, but he still made a noncommittal expression.
While he was talking, the goods on the car had been unloaded. With the help of automated logistics vehicles, reddish-brown containers were transported to the interior of the factory one by one.
"Hiss... You really have posed a problem for us. Let alone us, no one in this world can fulfill this request."
"I'm going to build an electromagnetic orbit on the moon."
As the only company in the world capable of building an orbit on the moon, in a sense they have stood at the pinnacle of the times.
After listening to Chen Gong's introduction, Lu Zhou finally asked the second question he was most concerned about.
The young engineer glanced at him.
"That District Chief Sun?"
But is this thing really possible
Lu Zhou didn't speak or make any expression.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded politely.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Chen’s face showed a proud expression.
"...Approximately how long?"
Immediately afterwards, another truck drove over not far away, and the workers waiting at the unloading point continued to repeat the previous operations, sending box after box of goods to the factory.
