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

Chapter 347 Strong alliance

Hearing Yue Jiafeng's words, Ning Chen suddenly became excited.

Ning Chen naturally showed a very positive attitude towards the invitation from Xia State Space Administration. Ning Chen believed that as long as he went to the headquarters of Xia State Space Administration and talked with other experts about his design ideas, he would definitely convince them to support his ideas. .

However, Ning Chen also knew what Yue Jiafeng was worried about. Due to what happened on the Shengzhou University campus before, Ning Chen's safety issue was something that could not be ignored.

After all, they were able to infiltrate even the seemingly safe Shengzhou University. Once Ning Chen left the familiar environment, he needed to carefully assess whether there were any crises around him.

Fortunately, Ning Chen now has enough defense methods. Coupled with Xiaozhi's security protection ability, Ning Chen can sense possible security problems around him as soon as possible.

After receiving a severe blow, Ning Chen also believed that the FBI would not dare to use any means easily.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen replied to Yue Jiafeng, saying that he was willing to go to the Xiaguo Space Agency headquarters to talk with the experts here about the manned moon landing plan.

"Okay, Professor Ning, then we will plan this itinerary for you. We will strictly control the safety issues along the way for you to ensure that you can return to Shengzhou safely."

"Haha, Academician Yue, of course I can rest assured about this."

After explaining the work between the school and Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen made preparations to go to the headquarters of the Xiaguo Space Agency.

The headquarters of Xia Guo Space Agency is in Yanjing, and Ning Chen is very familiar with it. However, because of his busy work, Ning Chen has rarely visited Yanjing in the past two years.

Under Yue Jiafeng's arrangement, Ning Chen successfully arrived at the Xiaguo Space Agency and met with several experts here.

"Professor Ning, on behalf of Xia Guo Space Administration, we welcome you. After seeing the manned moon landing rocket engine plan you designed, we were very shocked, so we hope to discuss some of the details with you in person. "

"Yes, Professor Ning, this is really an incredible design. The first-generation rocket system of Star Technology that you designed previously made us feel very novel in many aspects. These design concepts will also be used in our next generation. of rockets. But this rocket engine design really makes us feel that times have changed..."

Facing the praises from the experts, Ning Chen also seemed very polite and did not change his mentality because of this.

"Experts, in the field of aerospace, our Xingchen Technology is still a latecomer, and we need to learn from Xia Guo Space Administration in many aspects. The reason why this design can have such a big breakthrough is largely because Breakthroughs in superconducting materials..."

"Professor Ning is very polite. Although the breakthrough of superconducting materials has played a very important role in it, even without superconducting materials, this will still be a very good rocket engine. Of course, we also want to know more about this in detail." How will this kind of superconducting material perform in the field of aerospace applications..."

Ning Chen had already anticipated the questions these experts would ask, so he took out the 220K new superconducting material he had prepared and introduced it to these experts.

"Experts, please take a look, this is our newly developed 220K new superconducting material. This superconducting material belongs to a completely new superconducting system, which combines alloys and composite materials to allow superconducting materials to have greater Not only does it have a high superconducting critical temperature, it also has very good overall qualities..."

Ning Chen showed samples of this superconducting material to the experts to view one by one. After receiving these samples, everyone couldn't help but excitedly discuss them.

"Is this really a superconducting material? I think based on its physical properties, it may even be used in aerospace materials."

"This kind of material can have such good strength despite being so light. If Professor Ning hadn't said it, I really couldn't believe that this is a superconducting material."

"Yes, and its superconducting critical temperature has reached as high as 220K. This has set a new superconducting critical temperature record under normal pressure. This material is applied to the aerospace field. While increasing power, it can also It saves a lot of energy.”

After listening to the opinions of the experts, Ning Chen nodded and said:

"Yes, even if the addition of superconducting lines requires an additional corresponding low-temperature area, on the whole, this will still make the rocket launch system lighter and consume less energy. Now we can make one A simple experiment to prove the application capabilities of this superconducting material."

Normally, such experiments involving superconducting circuits need to be conducted in professional laboratories, because they often involve extremely low-temperature environments. Without professional equipment, such experiments cannot be completed.

However, because the superconducting critical temperature of this superconducting material is not too low, the experiment can still proceed smoothly even without a professional superconducting laboratory.

Soon, with the help of other experts, Ning Chen built the superconducting circuit and simulated its actual working.

Although due to environmental limitations, this experiment was relatively simple and could not reproduce the actual operation of the rocket engine system very accurately, these experimental phenomena visible to the naked eye were enough to shock everyone.

"This superconducting material is really incredible. It can achieve complete conductivity at temperatures of more than 50 degrees Celsius, which greatly reduces the cost of maintaining a superconducting environment."

"This doesn't even require common low-temperature materials such as liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. Even dry ice can be used as its refrigerant. I can't imagine what will happen to the world if this superconducting material is promoted. Such changes.”

"Yes, this is a superconducting material with almost no shortcomings. I just don't know what the synthesis cost of this superconducting material is, and whether it can be applied to a wider range of areas besides aerospace?"

After hearing these experts’ questions, Ning Chen replied:

"We are currently continuing to optimize the synthesis process of this superconducting material, and have made its synthesis cost relatively controllable. In the future, these wishes are very promising to be realized..."

After Ning Chen explained the various details of his design to the experts in detail and answered their doubts, the experts were very convinced of Ning Chen's plan.

Based on the current situation, adopting Ning Chen's design plan and cooperating with Xingchen Technology will undoubtedly be the best choice for Xia Guo Space Agency.

"Professor Ning, I think we can study the specific plan for the manned lunar landing project now, but no matter what, we need to start the unmanned mission first, and then try the manned lunar landing project. Can you please We can no longer suddenly appear in the spaceship cabin."

After hearing what this expert said, Ning Chen couldn't help but smile and said:

"Don't worry, what happened last time was just a special case. I guarantee that the same thing will not happen again. The dummy I made before is fully capable of such a job."

Ning Chen still has lingering fears about the last time he hid it from everyone and rashly went to space. Naturally, he did not dare to copy such an action casually. What's more, this is a manned moon landing project. The difficulty of the project is several orders of magnitude more difficult than manned missions to space, and there are many more variables in the process.

No matter how successful the project is during the simulation process, actual experiments are still needed to test and expose more hidden problems before Ning Chen dares to truly carry out the manned moon landing project.

"Okay, then Teacher Ning, we have settled this matter."

After finalizing the cooperation intention with the Xia Guo Space Administration on the manned moon landing project, Ning Chen did not leave the Xia Guo Space Administration headquarters immediately, but continued to stay here for a few days to visit, which fulfilled one of his long-held wishes. .

During the few days of visiting the Xiaguo Space Agency, Ning Chen came into contact with many things that he had not come into contact with before, further enriching his knowledge.

This also made Ning Chen realize that Xingchen Technology still has many technologies that need to be improved in the aerospace field.

These technologies cannot be covered up by a new 220K superconducting material, which made Ning Chen lower his attitude a lot and realized that Xingchen Technology still has a long way to go.

After this trip to the Xiaguo Space Agency, Ning Chen returned to Shengzhou safely and smoothly under the arrangement of Yue Jiafeng.

Along the way, Ning Chen did not receive any crisis reminders from Xiaozhi, which was enough to show that Ning Chen's trip was very safe and had not been affected by the FBI in any way.

After suffering the last setback, it has become difficult for the FBI to infiltrate their people. It is difficult to even approach Ning Chen, let alone threaten Ning Chen's safety.

After returning to Shengzhou, Ning Chen got in touch with Lu Minghao and explained to him what he had learned from his trip to the Xiaguo Space Agency.

"Manager Lu, prepare to sign a formal cooperation agreement on the manned lunar landing project with Xia Guo Space Administration. During this trip to Yanjing, we have reached a preliminary willingness to cooperate, but we still need to finalize specific cooperation details in the future... …”

The next question that needs to be studied is which tasks need to be handled by Xia Guo Space Agency and which tasks need to be handed over to Xingchen Technology.

As long as there are no major accidents, it will definitely not affect the cooperation between the two parties.

And because of Xingchen Technology's breakthrough in superconducting materials and the new rocket engine designed by Ning Chen on this basis, Xingchen Technology is likely to play a more important role in this cooperation.

After listening to what Ning Chen explained, Lu Minghao said:

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I'm going to prepare these tasks."

"By the way, Manager Lu, there is one more thing I need to explain to you. In the future development of our aerospace department, we still need some changes..."

With that said, Ning Chen told Lu Minghao some of his new ideas on the development of the aerospace part of Xingchen Technology.

These ideas were mainly based on what Ning Chen saw and heard during his trip to the Xiaguo Space Agency. Although Ning Chen had not yet conducted a detailed analysis of these technologies, Ning Chen could basically figure out the general principles at a glance.

This is not due to Xiaozhi's information perception ability, but rather due to the powerful amount of knowledge Ning Chen has accumulated in various subjects over the years.

In all basic subjects, Ning Chen has a good subject level. On this basis, Ning Chen can analyze various professional subjects with ease.

After listening to what Ning Chen said, Lu Minghao couldn't help but asked in surprise:

"Mr. Ning...is Xia Guo Space Agency sharing their technology with us?"

Faced with Lu Minghao's question, Ning Chen did not give a direct answer.

"Well... that's right. This time, Xia Guo Space Agency showed me a lot of internal technologies. Of course, it was only on a display level and did not tell the specific details. Of course, Manager Lu, you don't have to worry. The patent issues involved in these technologies are because we will not copy any of them, but will develop our technologies in these directions based on our own understanding."

Ning Chen has many own ideas about these technologies. Even if Xia Guo Space Administration really informs Ning Chen of the details of these technologies, Ning Chen will not copy them intact, because it is like copying the answer. People feel bored.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I understand. I will convey your thoughts to our aerospace department."

……

Lu Minghao successfully completed the work assigned to him by Ning Chen. Xingchen Technology also signed a cooperation agreement with the Xiaguo Space Administration on the manned lunar landing project as expected, and officially began research on the manned lunar landing project.

With the new rocket engine designed by Ning Chen, the manned moon landing project will no longer be an unreachable project. According to the plans of both parties, this is even a project that will be realized within five years.

In Ning Chen's heart, five years is even too long. Ning Chen is fully confident that the Xia people can truly stand on the moon in a shorter time.

After many studies by both parties, the specific plan for the manned moon landing project has been released. Xingchen Technology will be responsible for the manufacturing of rocket engines, guidance of superconducting technology, and support of simulation technology.

The location of this rocket test and launch has been set at the Zibei Space Launch Site.

Only in this way can we ensure that the rocket has sufficient power during launch and can better complete the launch mission.

In the following time, Ning Chen focused more of his energy on this project.
