Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 335 It turns out that this is the origin of Star Technology

"Manager Lu, we can prepare for our rocket engine test run."

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I'll make arrangements right away."

Because the project team had already made a rough plan before, Lu Minghao quickly arranged the relevant plans.

On the day when the engine test run experiment started, the members of the project team came to their respective work stations in advance and prepared to start today's work.

This is the first important moment that Xingchen Technology's aerospace project team has experienced since its establishment. Once the engine test experiment is successful, it will represent another big step forward for Xingchen Technology's goal of recording space.

Ning Chen also arrived at the testing site early. He stood on a high place and looked quietly at the testing site below.

"Mr. Ning, aren't you going to the control center?" Lu Minghao asked.

In the control center, various data can be better observed and the test performance of the rocket engine can be learned immediately.

"No need, Manager Lu, I can just watch the engine test process outside. If there is any emergency, please contact me again."

Using Xiaozhi's information sensing function, Ning Chen can better observe various data during the experiment, and there is no need to go to the control center.

"Okay, Mr. Ning."

Seeing that Ning Chen had made up his mind, Lu Minghao said nothing more. Lu Minghao knew that Ning Chen must have his own reasons for doing this.

Before the engine test run started, Ning Chen felt a little nervous.

This is not only because this engine test is related to the success of subsequent space missions, but also because Ning Chen still feels a little uneasy when he thinks that he is really going to space to perform a space mission.

However, Ning Chen calmed down his mood quickly. Since this was a decision he made after careful consideration, there was nothing to worry about.

Regardless of whether this engine test run is successful or not, Ning Chen will not be affected by this and will only continue to move forward on the road of research.

After making a final inspection of the rocket engine, Lu Minghao issued the order to ignite.

Immediately, with a violent roar, the rocket engine was successfully ignited in front of everyone.

Successful ignition is a good start, but the next one hundred and twenty seconds is the most critical period.

Because during this period of time, the control center needs to conduct detailed testing of various engine data to ensure that the engine is always in good operating condition.

Only when all these data are within the qualified range can this engine test run be said to be completely successful.

At this moment, the staff in the control center were all staring closely at the various data on the instruments, not daring to relax even a little bit.

Even their heartbeat rhythm has accelerated a lot due to the tense nerves.

At the same time, Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's information sensing function to simultaneously monitor various data of the rocket engine.

With the help of the quantum cloud network, Ning Chen's perception speed and accuracy of various information are better than the test equipment at the space launch site.

Ning Chen was very satisfied with the performance of the rocket engine and would only wait for the test to be completed before further summarizing and analyzing the overall data.

Finally, the "long" one hundred and twenty seconds ended. Under Lu Minghao's order, the project team took the initiative to extinguish the rocket engine.

Such a result basically means that the rocket engine test run was successful.

But everyone is not eager to celebrate, but continues to carefully analyze various test data to ensure that there are no other problems with the engine.

At this moment, Ning Chen is also using Xiaozhi's modeling processing function to simultaneously analyze the data just now.

After some careful analysis, Ning Chen was finally able to confirm that the data displayed by the rocket engine was completely in line with his expectations.

"This degree of error is enough for the engines to successfully complete their mission. It is a big step closer to completing my dream of going to space."

After a while, Lu Minghao's voice came from Ning Chen's headphones.

"Ning Chen, after our analysis, the performance of this rocket engine is very good. All the data are completely within our ideal range..."

Regarding Lu Minghao's report, Ning Chen was not surprised at all, and seemed relatively calm emotionally.

"Okay, Manager Lu, let's continue to proceed according to our plan. This matter can be disclosed to the public as normal and does not need to be kept completely confidential."

Lu Minghao was a little surprised when he heard Ning Chen's words.

Because Ning Chen has always had a strong sense of confidentiality regarding his and the company's achievements, and would not disclose them easily.

Normally, the level of this aerospace project is higher, but Ning Chen did not deliberately keep it secret. Instead, he chose to make important information public. This was something that Lu Minghao could not think clearly.

But this time, Lu Minghao didn't ask any more questions, but immediately agreed to Ning Chen's request.

"Okay, I will prepare the disclosure of information."

In Lu Minghao's heart, Ning Chen was like a strategist who knew everything. It took a long time for Lu Minghao to fully understand many of Ning Chen's thoughts.

On the day the rocket engine was successfully tested, Xingchen Technology announced the news.

Although the content of the message is relatively brief, it is enough to make people realize the success of Xingchen Technology in aerospace.

Soon, this news aroused heated discussion in Xia Kingdom and even the whole world. There are only a handful of countries in the world that have the ability to independently launch launch vehicles, and private companies that can achieve this feat alone are even rarer.

Although this is just a successful test run of the rocket engine, its significance is undoubtedly huge.

"I can't believe that Xingchen Technology has achieved such a major success not long after it entered the aerospace field! Maybe it won't be long before we can see Xingchen Technology's rocket take off!"

"It is really incredible that a private enterprise can achieve such a level. Perhaps in the future, Xingchen Technology will bring us more surprises."

"It turns out that Ning Chen had already set aerospace as his goal from the very beginning. Otherwise, he would not have named the company Xingchen Technology."

As soon as Xingchen Technology announced the successful test run of the rocket engine, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also sent a congratulatory message to Xingchen Technology.

While Yue Jiafeng congratulated Ning Chen, he also reminded Ning Chen to pay special attention to safety.

As Ning Chen's friend for many years, Yue Jiafeng knew why Ning Chen made such a choice. This would undoubtedly make the mysterious organization more confident that Ning Chen would go to space in person.

"Academician Yue, don't worry, I will definitely protect my own safety. You just need to help me cooperate with the plan. We can solve other things by ourselves."

"Professor Ning, of course I will believe you unconditionally. It's just that it's not easy to get close to where Pierce is currently under house arrest. There must be very tight defenses there."

Yue Jiafeng knew the difficulty. In fact, simply approaching was not difficult, but approaching without the enemy paying attention and successfully picking up Pierce's mother was an almost impossible task.

"If Pierce's research can be successful, it will add a lot of hope to this matter. We will use the nanowire materials they sent to help us achieve our goals."

"Okay, Professor Ning, let's wait for your good news. Our people have now successfully arrived at the predetermined location and are on standby, ready for the next step."

……

In a dark room, several people were talking about something.

"The latest rocket engine developed by Xingchen Technology has been successfully tested. I didn't expect their efficiency to be so fast."

"Yes, and according to their public data, although this engine is not very outstanding, it is enough to complete manned space exploration missions. To achieve such research success just after entering the aerospace field, Ning Chen is truly an incredible talent.”

"This is really good news for us. If everything goes well, Ning Chen may be able to start a space exploration mission within a year."

"It shouldn't be that soon. Before officially implementing a manned space mission, they will have to conduct at least one unmanned space mission to confirm the safety of the entire rocket power system."

"That's right. No one would be bold enough to start a manned space mission without going through an unmanned space mission. How is Pierce doing? Is there any latest news?"

"Pierce recently provided us with several important information, mainly related to Ning Chen's space program. Ning Chen is now focusing his main energy on the aerospace field and is ready to go to space... "

Because this information was consistent with the information they obtained from other channels, while they trusted Pierce more and more, they also believed that Ning Chen would personally go to space.

"Sir, after the mission is successful, do we really want to take Pierce back? If we treat his mother like this, will Pierce really be willing to serve America?"

"In our original plan, Pierce was our abandoned son, but this was also a helpless act, because it could be exchanged for a more generous harvest. But now, our plan has changed. As long as Pierce is not exposed, then We can then bring Pierce back openly. After experiencing these things, I think he will definitely not go to Xia Kingdom again."

"That's right. After they realized it, they would definitely realize that there was something wrong with Pierce. Moreover, his mother was not really harmed in any way. She was just invited by us to stay for a while. All she suffered was It's the best treatment. Even if Pierce really has any complaints, this is his only choice in the future."

"Well, let's bring Pierce back after the mission is completed. Material science experts like Pierce are of great significance to us."

……

In the laboratory, Pierce is conducting research on nanowire materials alone.

In order to strictly keep this experiment secret, this is a secret laboratory specially prepared by Ning Chen for Pierce. Only Pierce and Ning Chen can enter this laboratory.

Since Pierce had other work to do, in order not to delay his normal work and not arouse the suspicion of others, Pierce had to use his rest time to complete the research on this project.

These days, Pierce almost always rests here, so as not to waste some precious time if he goes back to the dormitory.

After a period of research, Pierce has successfully solved the problem of synthesizing this nanowire material, and Pierce is also constantly trying to optimize the properties of this material.

It was already past midnight, but Pierce still didn't dare to slack off and continued his experiment.

"Now is the 102nd set of optimization plans. I don't know whether the final synthesized substance can meet the conditions we are satisfied with..."

In fact, the number of such experiments is not too many for Pierce. In materials science experiments, it is very normal to optimize the synthesis of the same material hundreds or thousands of times.

According to Ning Chen, he had conducted tens of thousands of experiments on the synthesis of a substance. Calculating this, it was only more than a hundred failures, which was not a big deal.

After careful material preparation procedures, the 102nd set of optimized nanowire materials was finally successfully prepared by Pierce.

Pierce couldn't wait to rest and couldn't wait to measure the properties of this material.

During the test, Pierce also maintained a cautious state. After all, the sharpness of this material is unusual. If you are not careful, it will cut a hole in the skin. It is far sharper than a normal knife blade. .

After some testing, Pierce was very satisfied with the material he synthesized this time.

"Yes... Judging from the strength of the material, it is about ten percent stronger than the previous best. What needs to be verified next is the properties of this material at high temperatures." Pierce said heartily.

This is a flaw that Ning Chen believes exists in this kind of nanomaterial. Although this flaw is not very serious, Ning Chen feels that this problem can be solved through an optimized synthesis plan.

But to this day, Pierce still hasn't figured out how Ning Chen could immediately see the flaws in this material.
