The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 22 Team Establishment

Du Xingyu assembled his team as quickly as possible, most of whom were experienced rocket engineers from the Rocket Research Institute.

As for nuclear power research, experts from the Nuclear Power Research and Design Institute and the Institute of Atomic Energy are needed to cooperate.

In just two weeks, the nuclear-powered rocket research project team was assembled.

The general person in charge, He Jingcheng. Chief design engineer, Du Xingyu.

Then there are old colleagues Xia Tong and the successful recovery of the Long March 5 Yaosi rocket, which made everyone more trustful in Du Xingyu.

It is worth mentioning that there is an additional intern in the team, Du Xingyu’s classmate, Xu Lianqiu.

Just like in the dream, Xu Lianqiu also got a job at the space agency as she wished. She took the initiative to apply to join Du Xingyu's research team, so she became an intern in the R&D team.

In addition, core members include Tang Junwen, a nuclear power expert from the China Nuclear Power Research and Design Institute, and Zhou Ziang, an atomic energy expert from the China Atomic Energy Research Institute. These two are academicians of the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences respectively!

"Everyone, we all know each other." He Jingcheng said at the core team meeting, "The next work still needs everyone to work together and complete it together. The problem before us is a brand-new technology that has not been developed in the world. Rocket! There must be many difficulties, I hope everyone can work hard to overcome them!"

"Now let's let our chief design engineer, Du Xingyu, say a few words."

Du Xingyu stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, many of you are my seniors, and I deserve to be appointed as the chief engineer. But since I have already served, I have to shoulder this burden."

"I won't say any more nonsense. Let me talk about the research and development focus of this project."

Du Xingyu had already conducted simulations on a technology simulator. He invested 500,000 energy points and obtained some important information.

"We already have experience with rocket bodies and the like. I believe the rocket team should have no problem developing the main body of the rocket. The most important research and development task is the nuclear-powered thruster!"

"Among nuclear pulse rockets, nuclear electric rockets, and nuclear ramjet rockets, nuclear thermal rockets are our best choice at the moment."

"How to design a safe and efficient nuclear power thruster, what elements to use as nuclear fuel...nuclear radiation protection design, exhaust pollution, reactor control, high-efficiency heat exchanger design, emergency nuclear pollution treatment..."

Du Xingyu listed the key points one by one and discussed them with everyone.

This meeting lasted for three whole days!

In addition to eating and sleeping, everyone was studying and discussing in the conference room, how to solve the problem, assign tasks, what problems might arise...and complete design plans, etc.

Three days later, nuclear power expert Tang Junwen lamented to atomic energy expert Zhou Ziang: "Before coming here, I was still doubtful about this Xiao Du. Talking to him in the past three days has been really refreshing for me. This young man has real talent and hard work." of!"

"Yes!" Zhou Ziang was convinced. He said, "I originally thought that it would take at least three months or half a year to discuss the plan. Who knew that the basic framework would be ready in three days!"

"I feel like this kid has a clear mind. He has thought of all the problems we have thought of, and he has also thought of things we have not thought of! What a genius!"

Not only them, but other people in the team also admired Du Xingyu's insights and began to have more confidence in nuclear-powered rockets.

In Du Xingyu's chief engineer's office, he is planning the follow-up development plan for nuclear-powered rockets.

"Five months, preferably within five months, we will test-fire a nuclear-powered rocket." Du Xingyu was very anxious. In his dream, the asteroid that destroyed mankind was like the sword of Dakomos, always hanging in his mind. of the head.

"The rocket body is not a problem. The most difficult issues are the nuclear-powered rocket thrusters and nuclear radiation protection and safety..."

Du Xingyu opened the technology simulator, which showed: The research progress of "Nuclear Thermal Power Rocket" is 23%.

Under the study drawings, there are also component designs. Now Du Xingyu has lit up the main structure of the rocket, but the nuclear thermal thruster is still gray and white.

"The current energy points are 1.89 million."

"Invest 10 energy points for a technological simulation! Designated, nuclear radiation protection materials." Du Xingyu started the technological simulation with the energy points earned from the last live broadcast and news interview.

In his mind, a void space appeared, and the light points combined to form a high-tech laboratory, and there were figures who looked exactly like him, doing various experiments and attempts inside.

In the process of simulating technology, the technology simulator is based on Du Xingyu's personal experiments. The information and processes will be imprinted in his mind.

This is why Du Xingyu was able to convince those experts and scholars. He has grown so much in the past few months, and the knowledge in his mind is no less than that of any top scholar!

"The test failed." Du Xingyu's first attempt failed.

To build a nuclear power source in a rocket, a nuclear radiation shield is absolutely necessary, otherwise it would not be installed even if there is a nuclear power engine. Nuclear radiation will affect the internal electronic structure of the rocket, as well as the transported satellites and even astronauts!

"Invest one hundred thousand points of energy and start the second experiment." Du Xingyu continued to invest in the experiment, working tirelessly and trying again and again.

Time passed quickly, and it was two months in a flash.

During this period, the previous enthusiasm for rocket recycling has long disappeared without a trace, and ordinary people are still paying attention to celebrity scandals and entertainment variety shows.

On the other hand, in the scientific and technological circles, there is more and more attention paid to aerospace companies and aerospace scientific research.

NASA announced that it would establish cooperation with American Space Exploration Technology, Boeing, American Airlines and other companies. As soon as the news was announced, the stock price of Space Exploration Technology soared, and its market value soared to more than 200 billion U.S. dollars!

In other countries, some aerospace companies, engines, and aerospace materials companies have also welcomed the favor of the capital market and the country.

The world space race has officially begun, and those shelved rocket research, engine research, and spacecraft research and development plans have been put on the table again.

The news that the China Space Administration is developing a nuclear-powered rocket has not been disclosed, and it is still a confidential project.

…

China, Qiantang. Dong Jiangbo, the founder of Xingyao Space Technology, came here to visit one of his intended investors, Mr. Ma, who founded Alibaba.

These days, many foreign capitals want to invest in Xingyao, but Dong Jiangbo has rejected them all.

He knew very well that Xingyao Capital could only be a Chinese enterprise, and it was best to accept investment from Chinese enterprises. There are indeed many investors, but there are not yet those willing to spend 10 billion.

Thanks to Xiong Xiaojun 1990 for the reward.
