Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 928: The strong ones join in!
"Very sophisticated magnetic technology. But how did you convey the instructions? I saw you just nodded twice."

Zhou Rui naturally wouldn't say that the showerhead is an "intelligent life form". The relationship between one person and one machine mainly relies on tacit understanding and familiarity. He just said, "It's just some fixed combinations. Once you get used to it, it's fine. Academician Ma, please get in the car. I'll take you around the factory."

Zhou Rui and Ma Weiming were in one car, and the others were behind. At Zhou Rui's instruction, Xiao Wan started the follow mode. The six factory cars were lined up in a long line like a small train.

Since we were sightseeing, we naturally walked around. When we passed a place on the edge, Ma Mingwei pointed at the flower fields in the distance and asked curiously, "Is it green? Why is it in such a remote place?"

That flower field was the one that Zhou Rui and Xiao Huasa had worked together to cultivate. However, the rapeseed flowers had already been harvested and the oil extracted was given to the factory canteen, so sunflowers were planted instead.

Zhou Rui still prefers crops with some economic value, so that they are not wasted.

Otherwise, once the flowering period is over, the flowers will wither all over the ground, making people feel that all their work was in vain.

The small shower head is much more Buddhist. It is a flower and all that matters is that it grows well.

The sea of ​​sunflowers is golden and more spectacular than before. We can continue to harvest them and roast them with sunflower seeds in a while.

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "I planted them myself when I was bored. It's just a hobby."

Ma Weiming was surprised and asked, "Mr. Zhou is so young and still likes farming?"

"I have studied systematically with a teacher."

"Haha, that's right. People who do scientific research should have some pastime, just like me. I like to go fishing on aircraft carriers."

"that must be very interesting."

“Nine times out of ten, we get nothing.”

“Uh, that’s pretty interesting too.”

Zhou Rui took Academician Ma Weiming and passed by the main buildings of the Wanhu base one by one, including the huge intelligent center tower, and introduced the functions of each factory building.

When he learned that the base was close to the estuary and had a small commercial port, Lord Electromagnetic opened his mouth.

Although he had seen larger bases, this one belonged to a private enterprise, or in other words, to Master Zhou himself.
Having money means convenience.
Just like the purpose of this time, the "Xingtian Fighter" was also arranged by Master Zhou himself.

What approval, what funding? I just want to do it, what's wrong with that?
When the factory vehicle made a circle and stopped at the gate of Factory No. 5, the main topic of this event began, which was the part about the "Xingtian Fighter".

Even though Ma Weiming is the country's leading military expert, since their fields overlap, a confidentiality agreement must still be signed. After a few minutes of delay at the door, this mysterious factory was finally revealed to the Master of Electromagnetism.

If the level of intelligence within the factory has already opened the eyes of the Master of Electromagnetism, then the state inside the factory building can only be described as full of admiration.

Countless smart devices and drones are dispatched in an orderly manner in the huge factory.

There is a small interactive device floating above everyone's head to serve the engineers.

Many engineers even wear unpowered exoskeletons, and some exoskeletons even have "armor" formed by intelligent units inside, which seem to be flowing.

Ma Weiming: It’s great to have money
Shan Chunyuan proudly introduced the various facilities in the factory to the visitors. Any engineer would be proud of the working environment here.

When Ma Weiming heard that an engineer here could work five times more efficiently, his eyes popped out.

In fact, the intelligent industry has already spread in the military-industrial system, and Zhou Rui did not keep this technology to himself.

It's just that he had previously been involved in aviation, aerospace, and a small part of the army. The navy where Ma Weiming was located was the only one he had never dealt with, and they were completely separated.

When he saw the square short tower composed of intelligent units, the Electromagnetic Master showed great interest.

After Zhou Rui nodded, Ma Weiming took two pieces off from above and placed them in the palm of his hand.

"For a device of this size, if it is not connected to an external power source, I'm afraid the magnetic force will be very small."

Zhou Rui smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from an expert, and said, "Yes, the base is its external power supply."

After being separated from the whole, the two intelligent units can only rely on themselves. Ma Weiming put a little force to open it and touched his chin: "But there is still room for improvement. I will ask the institute to send you a micro magnetic control unit later."

Zhou Rui: "Is this also within the scope of your research?"

Ma Weiming chuckled and said, "I don't only know about electromagnetic guns, hahaha." When passing by the power group, Zhou Rui also called Qiu Lixun. The other party was also an academician, so they met each other.

As for the "Xingtian Fighter" which has already started to take shape and has begun to be skinned, Ma Weiming did not make too many comments. He knew very well that different fields are like different mountains, and an amateur should never command experts.

We only studied the landing gear of the "Xingtian Fighter" for a while, which is related to whether it can be equipped with electromagnetic catapults in the future.

After the tour, everyone went to the conference room on the side for a brief consultation.

In fact, Ma Mingwei came in a hurry and had no original plan on "how to cooperate" or "whether to cooperate", but after this visit, he was obviously more interested.

Ma Mingwei said: "In fact, our electromagnetic catapult technology still has room for improvement. Although it is already the world leader, it is still a little lacking in reliability for full-size fighters over 30 tons. By the way, I heard that the Weilong fighter was designed by Academician Zhou, right?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "I was just involved in Weilong. The designer was Chief Engineer Yang Weiyang."

"Well, anyway, the Weilong fighter jet, combined with the Bifang engine, already has the ability to take off and land on aircraft carriers. This is unique in the world. After all, the Weilong is positioned as a heavy fighter jet rather than a carrier-based aircraft. But you know, with the assistance of electromagnetic catapults, it will be safer and more fuel-efficient. This is our top priority at the moment."

"But I have another project on hand that is very compatible with Mr. Zhou's Xingtian fighter. It's called the 'electromagnetic vertical launch of missiles' system, and it's going to be used on destroyers."

Electromagnetic catapult, in the final analysis, is about "converting electricity into motion", where motion refers to kinetic energy.

Whether it's a plane taking off, launching a basketball-sized electromagnetic cannon, or giving a missile an initial velocity, the core principle is the same.

Make it react faster, have a higher initial velocity, and be safer.

Therefore, the application areas of electromagnetic catapult are actually very wide.

This master of electromagnetism is quite proud when talking about his field. Counting down the world, there is nothing wrong with him being ranked number one.

The United States' electromagnetic catapult technology lags behind that of China, even though the other side started research and development earlier.

Moreover, he is also able to "learn by analogy". In his eyes, electromagnetic guns, electromagnetic catapults, vertical launch of electromagnetic missiles, and electromagnetic torpedo launches are all just a rehash of the same substance, and one person has taken on all the research.

This is why he is one of the chief scientists of the Navy. Warships can be lost, but Academician Ma cannot be lost.
Ma Weiming continued, "The electromagnetic vertical launch of the missile has the characteristics of shorter track, lighter payload, faster response, and no need for human operation. I think it is similar to the launcher of Xiaodan's."

Shan Chunyuan quickly said, "The rack."

Ma Weiming paused and declined to comment on the name.

"In short, I think the two sides can cooperate deeply and we can also explore more practical application scenarios. According to the current performance, we can accelerate an aircraft of the quality of the Xingtian fighter to 1.3 meters per second, about 150 Mach, within 0.5 seconds."

"If we ignore the driver and the track is longer, I roughly feel that as long as the material strength can withstand it, I think it is not impossible for the initial velocity to directly exceed the speed of sound."

Basically, the plane was launched as a missile.

No fuel required.
Damn Yapi!

If it works at the same time as the engine, the acceleration will reach a very terrifying level.

The Electromagnetic Master smiled and said, "If Academician Zhou is interested, I can call my team here and I will lead the team. We can work together to try out new ideas."

In fact, considering his weight, he could just go back home and send his subordinates to do the work.

But he still had a little selfish motive, that is, after seeing the fascinating Wanhu Base, this electromagnetic master was tempted by worldly desires.

He wanted to have some fun.
After a brief communication, it was Zhou Rui's turn to supplement the confidentiality agreement. After signing a few papers, Zhou Rui got a document on "electromagnetic vertical launch technology" from Ma Weiming.

I stroked my chin and looked at it for a moment.
Ma Weiming is very confident in his skills and he believes Zhou Rui will be interested.

He picked up the tea, smoothed the floating leaves, and said with a smile: "How about it, Mr. Zhou, do you want to try it?"

After a long pause, Zhou Rui put down the information and asked a key question: "Academician Ma, will this thing of yours work well in space?"

"Well, in theory it would work better. Do you mean the South Gate of Heaven?"

"I meant the moon."

Master Electromagnetic frowned.
Finding things is not simple.
