Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2280 The rocket engine was successfully developed
Ji Donglai saw a shadow flashing past the door and knew that Qiu Haitang had also gotten up, and a sense of pressure rose in his heart.

Before the good times when he didn't have a family, Ji Donglai had never been afraid, but now he is really afraid.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Don't worry, Donglai!"

As the company's second largest shareholder, Mr. Yu knows better than anyone what Ji Donglai has been working towards over the years. Now such a good opportunity to export technology and equipment has been disrupted. This seemingly reasonable accident will never happen in Mr. Yu's eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Yu immediately started to make arrangements.

Since taking over as the company's second largest shareholder, Mr. Yu has taken over the company's intelligence department, and now Yiyuan Intelligence has people throughout Asia.

Li Ying had already retreated to the second line. After receiving a call from Mr. Yu, the East China Group quickly took action.

However, this matter is not as simple as everyone imagined, because it was too clean, the driver died, and five local senior police superintendents went to jointly investigate the case.

The investigation of the divine soldiers dropping from the sky only exists in literary works. From the truck to Koyanagi Hideaki's Coaster, there was no trace of anything on them. The huge destructive power brought by the train collision destroyed almost everything at the scene.

After receiving a call from Mr. Yu, Lu Jinqiu did not rush to Japan, but waited for news from Mr. Yu.

Ji Donglai put down the phone, thought for a while, turned on a computer that he hadn't used for a long time, entered the password, and opened an unknown chat software.

"call out!"

"Ok?"

Ji Donglai was very surprised. There was a message on it, and judging from the time, it was sent yesterday.

"There's a thief around, be careful!"

After just six words, Ji Donglai's heart sank to the bottom. He left a message to the other party, but no one responded after waiting for an hour.

Ever since Yin Hongyan left a message for Ji Donglai last time, the other party has never appeared again. Thinking of these two poor siblings, Ji Donglai felt indescribably depressed.

Their identities were replaced, and they suffered from fate's tricks again and again. If they had not met Ji Donglai, both of them would have remained unknown all their lives.

"Take care of yourself out there!"

There was no news from the other party for a long time, so Ji Donglai could only log out of the account in disappointment, then turned off the computer and put it in the cabinet.

On the other side of the software, Yin Hongyan had tears in her eyes.

"Who is it?"

Ji Dong walked out of the study slowly and came to the balcony. He hadn't smoked for a long time. He took a cigarette today, but it took him a long time to light it. When he looked closely, he found that the cigarette was held upside down.

"never mind!"

As the people in the company who had access to core secrets kept appearing in Ji Donglai's mind, he became more and more confused.

In order to prevent the company's core secrets from falling into other people's hands, the technical department is separated into its own department. Even Jiang Haokun cannot access all the secrets. Even if Ji Donglai retires from the entire company, Jiang Haokun and Lu Jinqiu cannot take away the core secrets.

The actual controller and the shareholder are two different concepts. As the chief scientist, Qi Jia is just involved in many things and it is impossible for him to take away everything.

Just for Fan Zhongbao and Hai Yinse and the others, this is a separate system.

With the space laboratory module, all technologies are unique and integrated.

If the engine test is successful this time, Ji Donglai will launch five test cabins according to the plan of the R&D center, making Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's technology completely leading the world.

"Jingle Bell!"

Ji Donglai was thinking when he received a call from the R&D center. Looking at Fan Zhongbao's dedicated line, Ji Donglai answered the call directly.

"Old Fan, why are you still awake so late?"

Turning on the high-definition conversation, Ji Donglai looked at Fan Zhongbao's cracked mouth and knew that something good was going to happen.

"You too, Mr. Ji. Our rocket thrust test, endurance test, wind tunnel test, and vector test have all passed. We can prepare for launch. I made two engines this time. The price is a little expensive, but I guarantee that we can all use them!"

On the phone, Fan Zhongbao turned around with his cell phone, and saw two huge monsters lying there quietly, with traces of burning on their tails still there.

Fan Zhongbao has been working on this project for five years. Now the whole experiment has matured. The first five igniters have been placed in the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Museum. These are the sixth and seventh. The overall experimental performance has met industry requirements, and in some places it has even surpassed the level of the same industry, comparable to SpaceX.

"Okay, contact Hao Kun and arrange the next launch. I will be there to watch this time! Thank you for your hard work, my comrades. It has not been easy for you to eat sand in the desert all these years!" Fan Zhongbao is still in Central Asia. Half of the parts of most rocket engines are produced by domestic Yiyuan Equipment Manufacturing, and the other half are produced by Uzbek aircraft maintenance factories.

For many parts of rocket engines, Fan Zhongbao abandoned traditional Soviet structures and materials and adopted independent designs, which was very risky.

The hundreds of engineers under him would often quarrel with Fan Zhongbao, and no one believed that these things could succeed.

According to the conservative R&D model of industrial design, the best way is to keep most of the variables unchanged, changing one or two variables at a time. Fan Zhongbao changed a lot of variables at once. In the eyes of this group of people, the rocket engine could not even pass the thrust test and vector test.

Facts have proved that such risks and things do exist. All five igniters failed. Fortunately, Fan Zhongbao was stubborn enough, and with Ji Donglai's continuous payment, the other party finally managed to burn the sixth one.

"Boss Ji, let's check the results. We have already designed the rocket. Once the engine is shipped over, we can launch it. This time we will use the new launch base. If something goes wrong, it will just fall into the Caspian Sea. There won't be any major accidents."

"Boss Ji, I made a decision on my own this time and modified our launch pad. Once it succeeds, we decided to do a return experiment as well. If it doesn't work..."

Fan Zhongbao hesitated for a moment, because it was difficult for him to say the following words: If a launch base was really blown up, that would be the cost of five rockets.

"Then continue. If I can build one base, I can afford to build a second one. You are the wealth, and the rest are just numbers. Don't worry, as long as there is a number, it will be fine!"

Knowing Fan Zhongbao’s concerns, Ji Donglai immediately stepped in to provide a guarantee.

Nowadays, bosses cry poor all the time and expect employees to innovate? Eat shit.

"Mr. Ji, thank you. If the two engines still can't succeed, I will resign!"

Fan Zhongbao felt uncomfortable when he thought about the funds Ji Donglai had burned over the years.

Others are funded by the state, Fan Zhongbao is making these efforts in order to make a living, Ji Donglai relies on a company that is burning money, and if it were an outsider, he would have collapsed at this time.

"Why resign? If the person is still alive, then continue the research. I also want to take my own company's spaceship to space. Life is long, what's the point of not leaving something behind? Go ahead, tell me before the launch, and...everything here must be kept strictly confidential, especially the technology!"

Seeing the spots on Fan Zhongbao's face, Ji Donglai knew how tiring his work was.

The other party is not very old and has been doing research in the base for many years. He rarely even sees the sun. This is what Ji Donglai is doing to everyone.

After encouraging the other party, Ji Donglai thought of the message from Yin Hongyan and gave some instructions at the end. Fan Zhongbao was stunned.

This was the first time in all these years that Ji Donglai had seriously emphasized to himself that something must be wrong.

"Don't worry, President Ji. Even if I'm kidnapped tomorrow, the information won't be leaked. There are only two keys, one in my head and one with you!"

The words "gratitude for recognizing someone's talent" are heavier than Mount Tai. Fan Zhongbao said a few words to Ji Donglai and then hung up.

"Huh, I finally made it. I was almost crushed to death!"

Opening the balcony window, Ji Donglai greeted Ran Bo and handed the phone to him.

In recent years, aviation projects have always been a concern for Ji Donglai. He has to benchmark his designs against NASA and compete with the entire market. Few people can withstand this kind of pressure.

Fortunately, Ji Donglai was successful. It took half a month to transport the engine to the launch site, and the entire launch cycle took another month. Ji Donglai only needed to arrive at the control center at the specified time.

"What are you so happy about?"

After returning to the room, Ji Donglai asked Ran Bo to prepare some food. He hadn't eaten at night for a long time. Qiu Haitang also came over and sat down next to Ji Donglai.

The skewers and various things are prepared in the evening, just sprinkle some on top.

"Remember to keep it secret. Our rocket's high-thrust engine test has been successful. We will be able to launch it at the launch site next month. If it succeeds, we won't have to be held back by others anymore. In addition, we will also test our return technology. If it succeeds, our space capsule plan can be completed ahead of schedule."

"Now many of our scientific experiments still depend on other people's wishes. There are more than 300 experiments waiting in line at the R&D center. When others are launching, we just follow them!"

"In the early stage, I asked Lu Jinqiu to contact Beifu Battery. In fact, it was not to acquire the battery factory, but to let Lu Jinqiu contact NASA officials. We sent our experiments up with the Dragon spacecraft, but the first step was not completed. As long as we have a recoverable high-thrust engine, we will no longer be controlled by anyone."

"The development of science and technology cannot be separated from overseas platforms, especially when it comes to new materials. The project we are going to cooperate with Hideaki Koyanagi this time is a reverse branch of the space experiment, but now we have encountered an accident."

Thinking of Xiao Liu Yingming and others, Ji Donglai began to feel depressed again.

Once this experiment is successful in Fukushima, we can use the popularity to promote our own new technologies.

Hu Xinyu is in contact with many European energy officials at this stage. Many people hope to introduce Ji Donglai's nuclear waste power generation plan, but no one is stupid. The real situation is that they will not release the eagle until they see the rabbit.
