Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 578 Space Craze (New Year’s Eve is here)

After the commendation meeting.

Qin Yuanqing, together with several other Nobel Prize winners, officially recommended Xie Daoxin and Huang Zuming to the Nobel Prize jury as candidates for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology.

The reason for Xie Daoxin's recommendation is that his outstanding contributions in the field of plant research have given mankind hope to escape desertification. The reason for Huang Zuming's recommendation is that he has made outstanding contributions in the field of bacteria, so that human society can be protected from the harm of sewage.

After all, Qin Yuanqing does not need the Nobel Prize to prove anything. He has even announced that he will no longer participate in awards including the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal. However, other scholars still need proof of these awards.

Over the years, Chinese people have no longer been able to appear on the Nobel Prize award stage as before. Instead, they have become regular guests. In almost every session, Chinese scientists have won the Nobel Prize.

In this era of technological explosion, more and more Nobel Prize-level achievements are being made, and China's influence is getting stronger day by day. Its powerful influence makes many people no longer dare to carry it with them. Look at China through colored glasses.

Just as China was preparing for the Spring Festival holiday, a piece of news came from across the ocean, that is, Johnson \u0026 Johnson announced that it was working on a special project called "frozen sustained-release agent" to prevent cell fluids from freezing under low-temperature conditions. Ice pierces cell membranes.

This project is jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Health and NASA and exists as a sub-project of the cryo-sleep cabin project jointly developed by NASA and Space Wordks.

Qin Yuanqing's face did not change at all when he saw this news. The cryo-sleep cabin project is actually underway in China. This is a technology prepared for the era of interstellar travel.

During interstellar travel that lasts for several years, ten years, or even decades, if astronauts remain in the spaceship, they will suffer from mental illness and die of aging while flying in the vast universe. Therefore, some people have proposed to develop a dormant cabin. People can sleep in the dormant cabin. When the spacecraft is about to arrive at the destination, the astronauts will be awakened from the dormant cabin. This can protect the physical and mental health of the astronauts. , and can also ensure that astronauts’ lifespan will not be wasted on useless journeys.

However, Qin Yuanqing saw that such technology was still in the exploratory stage, but related companies in the United States were promoting it with great fanfare, as if it could be realized tomorrow. Considering the past period of time, with the continuous hype, the market value of countless aerospace concepts in the United States It was rising all the way, and the whole of North America seemed to be in a carnival, making countless people dream back to that night half a century ago.

Qin Yuanqing admitted that the United States has a deep heritage in the aerospace field and still has a technical foundation. It has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in funding over decades, and even if part of the funding disappeared inexplicably, it has still achieved a lot of results by burning money. come out, such as the detection of Mars, the detection of Mercury, and the detection of Jupiter.

However, the United States has turned to a virtual economy since the 1970s, focusing on finance, and industries have begun to shift. It has been half a century, and two generations have stopped working in industry.

Even ten years ago, the United States has realized the importance of industry and wants to bring the industry back. However, it is not so easy to bring the industry back. First, the two generations of them have not done the industry, which has hollowed out the industry and wants to build an industrial chain. It’s easier said than done; secondly, the high labor costs make the products produced uncompetitive in the world.

This means that in the past ten years, not only has the industrial reshoring failed to materialize, but some high-end companies have lost their international markets and have to rely on policies to survive in North America.

Under such circumstances, the current aerospace craze in the United States appears to be extremely unreliable. It is completely advocating bubbles and causing investors to invest money in the aerospace field. Will those aerospace companies invest money in real aerospace? Activities are a matter of two things.

Anyway, based on past news, Qin Yuanqing believes that these are hype, creativity, PPT, and money-making behaviors, just like the Internet field in the past.

Once upon a time, the Internet was like this. You could get millions and tens of millions of dollars in angel investment by relying on creativity and PPT. Then suddenly one day the bubble burst. When the Internet bubble burst, it left a land full of desolation. It took five or six years for him to feel better.

"If you want to cause people to perish, you will definitely make them crazy! This statement is indeed true!" Qin Yuanqing shook his head and no longer paid attention to these North American news.

While the Chinese people are preparing to celebrate the New Year, they are far away on the other side of the ocean, in Arizona.

In a barren desert, a Hummer was speeding along the road.

Finally stopping on the side of a road, Musk got off the Hummer and looked over. He saw a white, round egg-shaped building next to a canyon, located in the barren desert.

Next to this building, there are several pieces of engineering equipment parked, and engineers wearing safety helmets are surrounding this strange-looking building, making final adjustments.

This is a life capsule specially developed by Space

"When the news about this life capsule comes out, Space Star will receive at least US$10 billion in financing!" Musk said with a proud look on his face.

Although this building was originally built in the name of Space There is no connection to Space X or Musk.

Musk has also introduced a professional manager to the table, who wants to make a fuss about the life capsule. If he wants to develop the moon and Mars, how can he not have a life capsule?

With this life capsule project, even if Starry Space Exploration Company has just been established, it can easily raise at least tens of billions of dollars in funding once it goes public.

"Those idiots still want to build a good industry. There is no way to make money quickly in the industry!" Musk's eyes flashed with disdain.

As for the future bubble in the aerospace field and the companies under his leadership have gone bankrupt, it doesn't matter, he is still a rich man.

And whether in Europe, Russia, or China, there is wealth at his disposal, which is enough to ensure that he can live a wealthy life.

"I hope the 'return to the moon plan' will be a success, otherwise" Musk whispered to himself.

Once the 'return to the moon plan' fails, the losses will be much greater than last time, just like the Soviet Union's manned moon landing plan failed again and again. It will be a fatal blow to the heart and will be taken from the soul. beat.

In this regard, the United States has the most experience!

A few decades ago, you could have relied on Hollywood special effects, shooting in a special effects canopy and then processing it with computers. Anyway, communication technology was not developed, and no one knew whether we had landed on the moon. As long as we insisted on saying that we successfully landed on the moon, then No one can refute it.

But it's different now. Satellites are not only in earth orbit, but also in lunar orbit. China has even established a scientific research station on the moon, which will definitely monitor the entire process of the American moon landing spacecraft.

Therefore, as long as it is a bit fake, it will be exposed immediately, which will only cause greater loss of face.

Musk is a very shrewd man, and he knows very well that once the "return to the moon plan" fails, the North American aerospace bubble will burst, and the stocks of countless aerospace companies that are now being sought after will become worthless. , countless aerospace companies will go bankrupt and liquidated, and countless people who have become rich will suddenly lose everything and have nothing.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, China is having a lively reunion dinner, but this time people are not watching the Spring Festival Gala, but watching international news, because in Florida, North America, a BFR rocket will be test-fired.

At this time, a super rocket as high as a 32-story building stood on the central launch pad of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

On the side of this rocket are printed the American flag, NASA's emblem, the Space-X logo, and the three huge letters BFR. At the same time, in order to take care of several generous donors, several Wall Street investment banks that sponsored the plan were printed below these logos.

For such a huge rocket, it took the staff here nearly a month just to send it to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base and complete the assembly. It took another full week to complete the final launch preparations.

After the failure of the last "return to the moon plan", NASA has restarted the "return to the moon plan" again. Naturally, it has to learn lessons. The launch of the BFR rocket this time is to send a probe to the moon for inspection work, and then return from the moon. To the earth, simulation work of manned moon landing is carried out.

This launch has attracted attention from all over the world. After all, the enthusiasm for aerospace is now high. Various countries have great enthusiasm for the aerospace field, and people are also full of interest in aerospace.

After the ignition command was issued, billowing smoke swept away instantly. The 42 Raptor engines consumed the liquid oxygen and methane in the fuel chamber at a terrifying speed, providing the entire spacecraft with a terrifying take-off thrust of 128 megatons. The rocket, which was more than 100 meters long, slowly broke away from the launcher and launch platform, and rushed towards the blue sky.

The roar of the engine was like the roar of a giant beast.

This beast is called chemical propulsion.

Embodying the most advanced liquid oxygen and methane propulsion technology, this giant beast once again showed the world its thick and powerful arms...

As it sends the probe into Earth orbit, it means that the launch mission has achieved an initial victory. Next, it will continue to change orbits and accelerate before it enters the Earth-Moon Migration Orbit, and the Earth-Moon Migration Orbit is the second This stage is also a very important stage. It is crucial to whether the detector can be sent to the moon orbit and whether the earth-moon migration orbit can be successfully completed.

Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all to be reunited with your family on this last day. May you have a happy new year, may all your wishes come true, and may the Year of the Tiger bring prosperity!
