Give the universe a little earth shock

Chapter 22 The Friendly Atmosphere
The exhaust flame of the engine was extinguished, and the starship sank into the darkness again, like a sheathed sword, waiting for its own battlefield.

Li Kaiyang, wearing a red safety helmet, tried his best to stick his head out, trying to capture the afterglow at the bottom of the cave again.

"Red Sun engine, vacuum thrust 3542kN, vacuum specific impulse 620S," someone pulled his body back, "Don't fall, there are many accidents in the base."

Li Kaiyang left the handrail of the covered bridge and turned his head. He was a soldier in combat uniform.

"Everyone wants to see her more." Li Yufu supported the railing of the covered bridge with both hands, slightly lowered his head and looked at the platform at the bottom of the cavern, his eyes were as gentle as treating a daughter.

"Let me re-introduce, Li Yufu, the director of the Strategy Department of the Space Force and also the pilot of the Hayabusa."

He turned around and held out his hand.

Li Yufu is the resident general of the Wuyi Mining Base, and he is also the person in charge of connecting the two. In short, Wu Hui is in charge of the design of the starship, and the Space Force is in charge of the actual operation of the starship.

The 36-year-old has been in the army for nearly 20 years, and he is a solid general. Apart from academic issues, he has the final say on almost everything in the base.

To some extent, Li Kaiyang felt that he was more like a scholar than himself, and he had the demeanor of a Confucian general in ancient times.

"The news about Mr. Wu's base has spread," Li Yufu crossed the stage of greetings, and motioned for the two to follow him. "The secretary following Mr. Wu is the soldier king of the Space Force. Don't worry too much about safety. There are several places in New York. Our safe house."

"However, the current problem is very serious. The base has no backbone, and everyone is like a headless chicken, especially the academic stagnation. These days, the construction progress of the Hayabusa is almost regressing."

Around the construction of the Hayabusa, the Wuyi base has five departments under its jurisdiction, materials, mechanical design, computers, energy, and final assembly.

The Institute of Materials develops and studies materials suitable for starships. The Institute of Mechanical Design adjusts and changes the unreasonable design of starships at any time. The Institute of Computers develops special control chipsets for starships to match single-chip microcomputers. The factory is responsible for the armament of the starship.

This is a complicated and not anti-disturbance system. Take the energy institute as an example. Once the energy institute finds a more suitable energy source for the starship, the mechanical design institute will change the transmission system. Different transmission systems need to match different drivers. The computer institute The original work has to be reworked. With the change of the power system, the final assembly will also change the armament of the starship. Is it necessary to ensure fire suppression or flexibility?
Therefore, the base needs a leader who can grasp all directions, eliminate interference, and ensure that the construction is on the correct path as possible.

Now that Mr. Wu disappeared, the base was in chaos, and the day of the starship test flight was delayed again and again.

Li Yufu led the two of them down floor by floor, walking towards the starship. From time to time, engineers holding documents and tablets walked by, each of them was wearing earphones and talking non-stop.

"The anti-de Sitter space sensor is broken? Who told you to tune it? Did you call him the fuck? How did I teach it?"

"Changed again? Our group reformed for a day and a night, and you let it be changed with a word? Why don't your Mechanical Design Institute check if there is any problem with you, and if you make a mistake, blame us?"

"Don't touch it! That's a fucking missile tank, you put a cannon in it to kill birds? Didn't you find that the size is wrong!"

The unresolved intractable diseases burn every engineer's resentment, and the profound academic terms are often mixed with elegant and easy-going greetings.

Li Kaiyang looked back at Chen Xing'an who was walking behind him, and now he finally understood why she wanted to come to Wuyi base so anxiously, and if it was a few days later, the cave would be demolished.

When they came to the bottom of the cavern, they could see the whole picture of the starship. Li Kaiyang, who was 1.8 meters tall, was standing under the Hayabusa, not even as big as a bolt. In the center of the hangar, all kinds of jagged scaffolding were erected around her, and workers wearing exoskeletons carried huge parts and kept filling them.

"Thanks to you," Li Yufu said approvingly, "with your design, workers and soldiers can finally take turns to rest."

He was referring to the results that Li Kaiyang demonstrated at the subject conference not long ago, and finally he can no longer use quantity to make up for the gap in quality.

The workers who came and went also recognized Li Kaiyang's identity, and they all cast surprised or grateful eyes. It can be said that at the base, his name is definitely equated with a god. Who wouldn't thank a person who let him have a vacation? .

The three of them walked a few more steps, and came to the tail end of the starship. All the directors of the five major departments of the base gathered here, waiting to meet with Mr. Wu's substitute.

At this point, Li Yufu had completed most of his duties as a coordinator, and the rest was academic matters. He couldn't get involved, so he left first.

The meeting process was very short, and the core topic was still about Mr. Wu. The five supervisors were basically isolated from the world and had no chance to come out, so they looked forward to getting more news about Mr. Wu from Chen Xing'an.

"Xiao Chen," said the person in charge of the energy institute, a little old man in one-piece blue overalls, "The result of the third ignition test is not satisfactory, and the tolerance of the material is not enough. Can you adjust the parameters?"

Chen Xingan frowned, "No further descent, the starship is just a toy, it can't even reach the speed of the first universe."

"Does it mean that we still need to toss?" The person in charge of the materials department wrinkled his expression, his cloudy eyes were covered with thin red bloodshots, "To tell you the truth, I have already called Mr. Wu to report, there is no Which material can satisfy your powertrain."

In order to cooperate with Chen Xingan's new power system, he has been fighting for a week, so he is inevitably a little tempered.

Li Kaiyang was left out of the conversation. He looked up at the nozzle of the starship's engine, and happened to have a maintenance worker sticking his head out from above.

"Is this Moro alloy?"

he asked, pointing to the crack.

"Yeah, it cracked in less than 2 minutes, and almost burnt me and my clothes."

The maintenance worker said with lingering fear.

"Is the entire starship made of Moro alloy?"

Although the rest of the place is covered with paint, the texture is the same.

"Everything, even the screws."

At this moment, the excited voice of the director of the material department came from behind Li Kaiyang: "Insufficient thrust? How can I solve it for you if the thrust is not enough? Moro alloy is already the most mature material on the planet, and even it can't stand it, but you Help me come up with a plan!"

He complained to the director of the energy institute, but in essence he wanted Chen Xing'an to know that no one could solve this problem.

Chen Xing'an fell into deep thought. According to her nature, the parameters of the power system must not be lowered, but the material became an obstacle again.

Just as he was thinking, the lame Li Kaiyang walked among the crowd and said solemnly:

"Change, change everything."

　Thank you Lin Bingling for the monthly pass!
