From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

space agency.

Recently, there have been great changes in personnel within the space agency, mainly because the moon landing plan has been completed and the next phase of work is about to begin, and there will be adjustments to personnel in important positions.

Some elderly people who have reached their age are placed in idle positions waiting for retirement.

Some young people were promoted.

The one who benefited the most was Chen Jiahe. He was promoted to the director of the System Technology Department. At the same time, he was also clearly the general person in charge of the anti-gravity spacecraft project.

He is already one of the top five heavyweights in the space agency.

Chen Jiahe was favored by the elders of the space agency, and was also highly regarded by his immediate superior, Mr. Zhu. It was normal for his position to be promoted.

In the next stage, his main job is to be responsible for the anti-gravity spacecraft project.

The anti-gravity spacecraft project is actually about manufacturing an aerospace version of an airship and flying saucer. The space agency has been making preparations internally, and they have already negotiated cooperation with the airship and flying saucer team.

Chen Jiahe took the materials and reported to Teacher Zhu, "We will be able to get an experimental machine as soon as next month, as well as drawings of superconducting battery technology and lateral anti-gravity technology."

"As long as we can thoroughly understand the content of these materials, we can conduct a small-scale demonstration."

"After mastering the core technology, we can move to the next step, which is to demonstrate the manufacturing of space flying saucers on a large scale..."

Teacher Zhu listened patiently and nodded, but his expression was not good.

Ever since he learned about the light pressure engine project, he has been feeling very anxious. The light pressure engine must be for aerospace, and aerospace means there is competitive pressure.

The space agency naturally represents the most high-end aerospace technology.

If the most high-end aerospace technology is mastered by other organizations, then the space agency will be very embarrassed. As the top person in charge of the space agency, he will naturally be even more embarrassed.

The research on light pressure engines sounds a bit sci-fi, but it is still possible to succeed. After all, Wang Hao’s team has mastered annihilation particle technology.

If you have a technical foundation, you will have hope if you do more research.

This is why Teacher Zhu is anxious.

He shook his head and asked, "Xiao Chen, can't we do research from a higher starting point? For example, use annihilation particle technology."

"If we have a complete design and plan, I will also apply for annihilation particle technology to the top decision-maker."

Chen Jiahe shook his head with a wry smile, "The confidentiality of this technology is too high, and we don't understand the technology. The application is definitely immature, and it is impossible to come up with a convincing plan."

"Our research must still focus on stability."

"Moreover, even after applying for annihilation particle technology, it is very difficult to use it. We can't transfer the entire team of Academician Wang, right? We are willing, but they are not willing either."

"Funding is also an issue."

"Annihilation particle technology, no matter what direction it is used in, will definitely use a large amount of first-order materials."

"We also need to order first-order materials from Annihilation Technology Company. Even the internal price will be very expensive..."

Chen Jiahe grinned as he spoke.

First-order materials are sold internally to domestic scientific research institutions, which can be more than double the international price, but it is definitely a very high expense.

If you set a new direction, you need to use a lot of first-order materials, and the space agency's funds simply cannot afford it.

In this regard, Wang Hao's team has a great advantage.

Annihilation Technology Company is the technological extension of the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Group. The Annihilation Force Field Experimental Group can directly produce large quantities of many materials. Even if you order from Annihilation Technology Company, you can get the 'cost price'.

That's the difference.

Chen Jiahe continued, "In fact, our speed is already very fast, and the airship team is also cooperating. After entering the demonstration stage, we can normally build the spacecraft within two years."

"If the plan goes well, we will be able to conduct a second lunar exploration next."

"This is just an experiment."

"The next step is to explore other planets. The final possible goal is Mars..." What he said was very promising.

Teacher Zhu's mood did not improve. He sighed and said, "Xiao Chen, you don't understand."

After saying that, he suddenly realized that Chen Jiahe had become a core figure in the space agency and was qualified to know some information, so he said, "Wang Hao's team is already studying the light pressure engine. Think about it, in comparison, our anti-gravity engine Spaceship, what does it matter?"

"..."

Chen Jiahe opened his mouth half-open and was stunned by the news.

He was stunned for a long time and asked, "Light pressure engine? Are you sure it is the kind of light pressure engine I understand?"

Teacher Zhu nodded vigorously.

Chen Jiahe took a deep breath and digested it for a long time before saying, "Don't worry about it. This is not an ordinary research and it cannot be completed quickly."

"Mr. Zhu, think about it, how long does it take to build an engine control system alone?"

"We have a specialized department that specializes in electronic system technology. We also need to continuously invest in research and development and modification. This is the research of the underlying system. It will take more than two years, right?"

"Others are more complicated."

"It takes 50,000 degrees Celsius inside the light pressure engine to create enough pressure. Is there any material support? Not to mention whether it can be manufactured, I feel..."

"Demonstration and design, you can't pass this level!"

Chen Jiahe said it with certainty.

After hearing this, Teacher Zhu nodded and said, "There is no need to think too much about whether the argument design can be completed or not..."

"The system needs two years, this one is enough."

After he whispered, he let Chen Jiahe go out.

When Chen Jiahe walked out of the room, Teacher Zhu took a breath and smiled again, "Xiao Chen is right. Within two years, it will not be easy to demonstrate the design, let alone manufacture."

"After two years, it will have nothing to do with me."

"I will retire then!"

Teacher Zhu thought carefully, and her mood suddenly improved.

…

at the same time.

The application report submitted by Wang Hao has been approved. The light pressure engine project has been approved by the science and technology department and can enter the manufacturing stage.

After obtaining the approval, Wang Hao immediately approached Annihilation Technology Company and asked them to send a management team over.

Once the management team arrives, the next step will begin - negotiations and the establishment of a new company.

Negotiation is with various cooperative institutions and enterprises.

The research that the Annihilation Field Experiment Team can fund alone is such an advanced technology as the 'light pressure engine', which is naturally very attractive, and their progress is also very fast.

A month later, Spacecraft Industries was officially established.

Spacecraft Industrial Company is a company held by large enterprises and institutions. Its investors include Antigravity Research Center (Annihilation Force Field Experiment Group), Annihilation Technology Company, Aviation Industry Group, Hongfeng Materials Industry, Aerospace Group, and Capital Military Industry ,etc.

More than a dozen cooperative institutions and enterprises invested RMB 50 billion, accounting for a total of 20% of the shares.

Annihilation Technology Company invested 30 billion alone and provided important first-order material manufacturing technology, accounting for 20% of the shares.

The antigravity behavior research center and the light pressure engine project team invested a total of 50 billion, accounting for 50% of the shares.

Wang Hao personally invested 10 billion, with a shareholding ratio of 10%.

The Spacecraft Industrial Company has just been established. It is a large company with an initial capital of 140 billion. After the company was established, a series of personnel appointments were quickly made.

Wang Hao is the only individual who holds shares, is also the company's general technical consultant, and also serves as chairman of the board.

A series of other personnel appointments including vice chairman, executive director, manager, etc. are basically staffed by Annihilation Technology Company and other large companies.

It is worth mentioning that the founding meeting appointed more than a dozen technical consultants, who were the original members of the light pressure engine design team, because the first task of the company's establishment was to manufacture experimental products based on the design of the light pressure engine.

…

After the establishment of the Aerospace Industry Corporation, it began to order materials and equipment on a large scale, including factories and military factories affiliated to the Aerospace Industry Group, as well as some large material manufacturing companies, many of which participated.

The most important thing is the material, and the material for the concave reflector is the most in demand.

The concave reflector is just too big.

The concave reflector is designed as a sphere with a diameter of 120 meters, and the surface area of ​​the sphere is as high as 45,000 square meters.

Forty-five thousand square meters, most of which are first-order materials. The demand for first-order materials can be imagined. Annihilation Technology Company has specially set up an experimental equipment for this purpose, and the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Team also has an experimental equipment. , specially used to make the required materials.

These are only basic first-order materials, and most of them are magnetized materials and first-order elemental elements.

Basic first-level materials are also transported to other factories for use in manufacturing compound materials, composite materials, and alloy materials.

After the entire process, the material cost per square meter exceeds one million flower coins, and the total material cost is at least more than 70 billion flower coins.

This is already the minimum cost.

The first-order basic materials obtained by the Spacecraft Industry Company are sold at a price slightly higher than the cost price, which can only allow the manufacturing equipment to operate without losing money.

If it were a normal first-level material selling price, the cost would be unimaginable, and it would be normal to reach hundreds of billions.

When the basic first-level material manufacturing is running at full capacity, manufacturing will take more than a month, and further processing will be required to manufacture the alloys, compound materials, etc. required for the design.

The process of some materials is very complicated, and other materials cannot be mass-produced at all and can only be made in the laboratory.

In some cases of priority support, manufacturing may take more than half a year.

At the same time as large-scale first-order material manufacturing was taking place, information about the ‘Spacecraft Industrial Company’ also appeared in the media.

Spacecraft Industrial Company has a registered capital of 140 billion.

Wang Hao holds the position of chairman.

After the company was established, it also ordered manufacturing materials on a large scale. Even though the ordering and manufacturing were all done internally, there were still clues about such a large-scale work.

The media soon reported it.

It has also attracted widespread attention internationally, and most of the attention has focused on the company's name, "Spaceship Industries? Does it manufacture spaceships?"

"It should be space exploration, right?"

"This company, with Wang Hao as the chairman, is it a benchmark against space exploration companies?"

"Wang Hao has started research on aerospace technology?"

In public opinion, there are different opinions.

In the field of international aerospace science and technology, NS is still the one with the most say.

The domestic space agency has completed the establishment of the space station and the second human landing on the moon. The results of its work are also very outstanding, but it still has less say than NS.

In addition, the most famous aerospace agency is the Space Exploration Corporation, which is also the only private company engaged in aerospace research.

The name of the new company established now is Spacecraft Industries, which makes people think of it as the benchmark space exploration company.

The question is, does the establishment of a new company still require a Wang Hao platform?

He is actually the chairman!

Also, the name of the new company seems to be research on spacecraft? Is it a super large spaceship?

This is a bit...

A bit whimsical, right?

Many media analysts believe that "the spacecraft industry only studies aerospace technology. Wang Hao, as chairman and technical consultant, may only develop new spacecraft."

"For example, based on anti-gravity technology, we can develop flying saucers with aerospace performance..."

…

Groom Lake Initiative Project Team.

There was excitement in the experimental base. In the past few months, they had invested a lot of money and finally made a breakthrough in DC annihilation field technology.

"15% anti-gravity field!"

"Incredible, it was made directly."

Empoli-Cubo was very excited, "15%, the data is not low. The DC theory can directly carry out magnetic interference to create a strong annihilation force field."

"The intensity is not high yet, but with the built-in strong heat source and magnetic interference, it may be possible to create a strong annihilation force field with a power of more than 5 times and stimulate higher intensity F-rays..."

“If this result is made public, we won’t have to worry about funding!”

Cooper was absolutely certain.

They have always hoped to make a breakthrough in DC annihilation field technology, and now they have finally created a DC anti-gravity field by relying on high-pressure mixed materials.

The key point of DC technology is not the strength of the field force, but the ability to create a thin layer with strong annihilation force without using a superimposed force field.

In this way, the equipment is simplified too much.

"I am now very sure that the flower grower's nuclear fusion device uses this technology, but I don't know the specific intensity."

"In addition, their F-ray technology also uses this technology."

"The only thing is..."

“We use high-pressure hybrid materials.”

"But as long as we continue to research in this direction, we will definitely be able to master technologies based on metallic superconducting materials..."

Cooper even gave an excited speech.

Collot James was also very happy, but there was no excitement. After he returned to the office, he said to Cooper, "Empoli, I still have to pour cold water on you."

"The most important thing is that we still haven't created a strong regional annihilation field."

"Now, it's still an anti-gravity field."

"Although there is no definite news, Wang Hao's team is likely to have mastered annihilation particle technology similar to antimatter technology. They rely on regional strong annihilation force fields."

“The No. 1 decision-maker values ​​this technology most...”

Kubo waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. In short, at least we have a breakthrough, and it is a big breakthrough. I am very sure now that as long as we continue to study, we will be able to create a regional force field!"

"Is the direction different?"

James muttered and said nothing more.

The project team has reported to their superiors and is preparing to release the results. Everyone believes that the new results will definitely shock the world.
