Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 685 Pressure and Burden

Zhou Rui's original intention was to show off some unique tricks and give everyone a little confidence to speed up the progress of the meeting.

As a result, they underestimated the group's desire to get to the bottom of things.

I spent another hour explaining "mechanical intelligence".

Of course, there is no need for him to talk about the real core things now, he just explained them in terms of functionality.

Finally, we came to the conclusion: we can do it.

He had repeated it three times, but the conclusion was still shocking.

Enlightenment Intelligence has directly solved three of the six major problems in rocket recovery.

And probably the hardest three.

Among the remaining three problems, the "fuel retention problem" is actually a joint problem. As long as the plan is determined, the fuel needs can be inferred.

Before, everything was "to be determined", but now, there is a context and direction.

However, Zhou Rui kept his brows furrowed and said nothing.

"Positioning and detection issues", the space agency's own accumulation is not weak, and "Beidou" provides help. It is an issue that has not been refined, but has direction.

The reason is naturally because of Li Changping’s answer about “time” just now.

The determination of the three core issues makes the discussion of the remaining issues more meaningful.

Zhou Rui didn't want to do everything, and said: "It's difficult to get it right in one go, but after a few experiments, the design requirements can always be met."

The last "material tolerance issue" is relatively complex and requires a lot of experiments. It is determined by verifying the condition of each component during the rocket recovery process.

Five years

He believes that if the plan is indeed feasible, he is confident that the "rocket recovery" technology will be conquered within five years.

As soon as the mirror-colored tablet was put away and inserted back, everything returned to its original state.

"Director Li, when will the space agency prepare to officially launch the 'rocket recycling' plan?"

He even directly participated in the "rocket construction" work.

That is

Zhou Rui re-entered the command, and the one-and-a-half-meter-tall black rocket model collapsed and then "crawled" back into the tool box.

------

Of course, the three core problems are all solved by "mechanical intelligence", which means that Enlightenment Intelligence will conduct in-depth technical and commercial cooperation with the space agency.

What kind of experts are we?

Li Changping looked at the black toolbox and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou, how confident do you think this plan is?"

Everyone in the conference room was silent.

Even after showing his hand just now, the experts would look at Zhou Rui's eyes while discussing, and he would just casually express some superficial thoughts.

The things involved in this will be very complicated. Zhou Rui will not talk about it for now. Today, we will only start from a technical perspective.

"As for the actual engineering verification issue, I don't have much experience in this area and have never seen a rocket in person."

At this time, he remembered to "keep a low profile", thought about it and said, "I also hope that the experts at the space agency can give me some advice."

In the conference room, it continued.

This length of time made Zhou Rui feel paralyzed.

In fact, Li Changping would like to keep it short. He feels that seven years is the safest time in his heart.

In comparison, it only took six years from the beginning to the first flight of the J-20.

This is why the stealth technology has been stuck for a while.

And "rocket recovery" is just an ancillary technology of the overall rocket.

But the reasons given by Li Changping are also very practical.

First, the cost is high. The lowest cost of a rocket is 1000 million yuan, which is still the smallest rocket. Large ones can cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Just for the sake of experiment, if you launch a rocket, it only takes about ten minutes to get up and down, and it may cost tens of millions, which is more expensive than a collider.

Therefore, the most economical way is to use "existing launch missions" for verification, which requires very reliable conditions.

How to achieve "very reliable" level without too much experimentation?

That means using time, manpower, and countless calculations and calculations to "pile it up."

Secondly, the national team cannot afford to make mistakes.

Different from commercial aerospace, if it explodes, it will explode. It has its own insurance contract and commercial contract to cover the bottom line. As long as the cost can be covered, don't bankrupt yourself.

However, the national team's fireworks will damage the reputation of the entire "China Aerospace" and will cause huge pressure in the academic community and even in our internal administration.

Third, is it possible to secretly set off rockets for experiments and not be discovered if they explode?

No.

Any rockets or missiles that fly out of the atmosphere, whether for commercial needs or scientific research needs, must be reported to international agencies.

Otherwise, who knows whether you are launching satellites or missiles?

The Republic is not Northern Korea, it is a nuclear power with international status and international responsibilities.

A flying object that is not registered and breaks through the atmosphere will have a serious impact. How many people can pee their pants in fear.

The three questions connected together mean that the space agency cannot conduct technical verification as it wishes.

For all preliminary work, the ground must exist.

If you really want to go to heaven, you must consider it after everything is absolutely sure.

The space agency does not have "fans who can forcefully clear the ground even if it fails."

There are only a group of keyboard warriors who "what does it have to do with me if I succeed, and I will immediately start complaining if I fail".

Even a failed experiment can be worth several years of research, but the space agency cannot play like this.

During the second half of the meeting, Zhou Rui kept thinking about this issue.

He understands the difficulties of the space agency, but five years of sharpening the sword is really too slow.

And even though he clearly knew there was a "shortcut", he couldn't take it.

As long as he sets off two or three fireworks, he will definitely master this technique.

Lucky for you, not a single firework was set off

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone had a quick bite in the conference room, and at nine o'clock it finally came to an end.

Today is a great achievement.

But today can be regarded as a high start and a low end. During the second half of the meeting, Zhou Rui seemed to have a frown on his face.

Everyone agreed to add an additional day of seminars tomorrow, and then dragged their tired bodies out of the space agency building.

On dozens of stairs, everyone parted ways.

Originally, Li Changping proposed to take Zhou Rui to eat something good and have a banquet, but Zhou Rui decided against it. It was so late, so it was better to go back to the hotel to rest early.

As Li Changping got older, he didn't persist.

While waiting for Lou Yang to drive, Zhou Rui stretched, his muscles trembling, running the "earth train" to relax his body.

Che Gan rubbed his eyes: "Boss, are you cold? Why do you feel like you are showing off?"

"If you can talk, talk less."

Just as he was about to chat, a strange voice came from behind.

"Mr. Zhou, can we chat for a few words?"

Zhou Rui turned around and saw a delicate woman with a ponytail. She was in her late twenties, but her face was very tender. Maybe it was because she didn't wear any makeup or hairstyle.

He was also a member of the previous seminar, but Zhou Rui didn't pay attention to his name.

The other party stretched out a hand: "Hong Anran, System Engineering Department, Lunar Exploration Project Team."

Zhou Rui shook hands symbolically.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"That's right. I'm very interested in the 'smart unit' you just showed. It's too late today. Can we make an appointment another day to chat privately?"

Zhou Rui smiled: "It may still be used at the meeting tomorrow. I will explain it again then."

It can be regarded as rejecting the so-called "private chat".

Ever since he became famous, there have been many attentive women around him.

Zhou Rui rarely pays attention to her. The wild flowers outside are nothing compared to the "unity of soul and body" at home.

Moreover, I am happy now. Even if I have ideas, I am working towards the trend of maintaining the second place and fighting for the third place, and I have no time to open new pits.

Hong Anran looked at Zhou Rui with her smart eyes. She was a very smart woman.

I roughly guessed that Mr. Zhou probably thought he had other ideas.

He smiled and said, "Maybe I used the wrong word. I didn't mean to ask you to meet alone. Today is a rocket recycling seminar after all. It's not convenient for me to change the topic. Maybe after the end, you can come and take a look at our lunar exploration project alone." .”

This sentence touched someone's heart: "Really, that's a good relationship!"

Hong Anran put his hands behind his back and suddenly said:

"By the way, I noticed that Mr. Zhou was absent-minded in the second half of the process. I guess you feel that the pace of the space agency is too slow and a bit procrastinating, right?"

Of course Zhou Rui would not admit it: "That's not true. As for aerospace, it's right to be rigorous."

"Actually, we also feel what you think. The three words 'national team' bear too heavy a responsibility, which is not conducive to the development of aerospace technology. The organization is also considering some new models."

"You can pay attention to the "National Civilian Space Infrastructure Medium and Long-term Development Plan". It is still only a draft and is waiting for social feedback. It may be helpful to you."

As expected of a woman in the Beijing North Bureau, she spoke all kinds of organizational documents very smoothly without any fuss.

Hong Anran waved playfully, said goodbye to Zhou Rui, and walked down the steps.

"Then see you tomorrow, Mr. Zhou~"
