Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2318 This is a space factory
Kan Changshun can clearly hear the conversations of everyone around him, even if they are pure English conversations, the other party can understand them. At this moment, Kan Changshun is like a human computer with water hanging on, turned on 24 hours a day, at the mercy of everyone.

He would occasionally be lucid for a while, but then fall into a coma again due to blood accumulation in his brain. The repeated torture made Kan Changshun almost numb.

In space, the construction of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's space capsule also started its first step. The first satellite approached the base, and a robotic arm extended from the base. As the surface of the satellite was destroyed, a piece of debris the size of an old electric car was pulled out of the satellite.

As the robotic arm slowly retracted and the fragments approached the base, the second robotic arm slowly extended and embedded itself into the surface of the base satellite. The protective cover on the surface was slowly removed and sent into the feeding satellite.

As the incoming material fragments are placed in the base position, the welding robot starts welding from the inside, and the huge flame is very conspicuous through the telescope.

The whole process went on smoothly until the debris was completely fixed and the third satellite approached again.

The beauties lost three satellites and did not dare to take the next step. Many people were watching the performance of Yiyuan Zhizao, and some even opened the odds. The probability of success was calculated to one in ten thousand, with odds of one to one thousand.

"This experiment is very bold. Will it succeed?"

Looking at the scene in space, many leaders were also watching. Some people even organized to watch in the conference room. No one wanted to miss this rare scene.

"It's difficult. I'm not talking about welding the silo. That's not difficult. The difficult part is creating an aerobic environment in the test chamber to simulate the air environment on Earth."

"There is no air in space. If we cannot create such an environment, then the types of experiments that can be conducted in this silo will be very limited. Carrying out such a large-scale operation, exchanging 25 satellites for a project that we don't know whether it will succeed or not, is not worth the loss!"

"The seed planting experiments that the whole world is working on now cannot be carried out in this airless environment, and some microbial experiments are also completely impossible."

"The space capsule can conduct experiments without gravity, or even in a vacuum, which is good! But this is a non-Earth environment, and it has little significance for experiments on our Earth!"

Some experts looked at Yiyuan Zhizao's experiment with doubt in their eyes.

Ever since seeing Ji Donglai's experimental plan for Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, this group of people has been arguing fiercely. Many people believe that Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's approach is worthy of recognition and is very necessary.

After all, this is the first time that humans have made such an attempt in space. If it is really successful, it will be a bold attempt for humans to transmit and process information in an unmanned environment in space.

But some people think that Ji Donglai's attempt is just a publicity stunt. According to the plan, the construction of the silo will take three months.

From the external protective layer, the internal insulation layer, the thermal insulation layer inside the mouth, and the anti-radiation layer, the implementation of each step is very difficult.

Also! There is no air in space, so how can we test the airtightness of the space capsule? If we fail to meet this requirement, we cannot isolate it from the outside world, and we cannot do more experiments.

"What if we are building a space factory?"

Unlike everyone else, one of the old men quietly watched the operation of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing in space. After getting the plan, the old man put aside all the things in his hands and watched every step attentively. Unlike others who were just watching the show, the other man took a notebook and carefully recorded everything in it.

The other few people were very surprised. In their impression, this thing was a bit too far away. Factory?
“Would a private enterprise have such ambitions?”

Seeing the old man, the other people were very surprised, especially Ji Donglai who was using the debris to make a space capsule, which was a little hard to accept.

"Everything is possible. Didn't you see that Ji Donglai kept all the remaining fragments? If he just wanted to make a silo, the rest of the products would be garbage and could be thrown away! What about now?"

The old man pointed to everything in the space and the root-seeking project.

According to common sense, such unwanted debris should be thrown directly into the atmosphere and left to fend for itself. However, Yiyuan Zhizao has fixed all these fragments and even isolated and fixed them to prevent these materials from falling away.

Following the old academician's direction, several people hurried to check the past and present of these satellites. As a result, they really discovered various rare metals contained in these satellites, especially several commonly used materials used in aircraft engines.

"The quantity is a little small, but it should be enough to make a leaf. This person... is too brave!"

After several days and nights of research, several people finally drew a mark in front of a rare metal. According to the number of more than 30 satellites that Ji Donglai purchased, at least one kilogram of this rare metal could be collected.

Looking back into space, the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Silo was in a state like an eggshell in a crusher, and the contempt disappeared from the faces of several people.

On the ground, Zhao Shuying also walked into an office. The leader's secretary checked Zhao Shuying's ID and returned the phone to Zhao Shuying.

"Hello, boss. I'm Zhao Shuying from Yiyuan Intelligence!"

Facing the kind old man, Zhao Shuying took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Please sit down first. I still have some work to do. I'll be done in no time!"

After shaking hands with Zhao Shuying, the latter pointed to the sofa opposite and continued to work for half an hour. The leader stood up, and the secretary came in to take away the documents and poured water for Zhao Shuying. "Xiao Zhao, I saw that Yiyuan Zhizao recently implemented a root-seeking plan in space. Xiaoji is not in China. Can you introduce the specific content of this plan in detail?"

The leader said with a smile as he personally made a cup of tea for Zhao Shuying.

"Leader, I'll let President Ji tell you directly. Only a few people in the company know about this core technology, and President Ji is the core!"

Zhao Shuying opened his mobile phone and made a video call to Ji Donglai. At this time, Ji Donglai was watching Fan Zhongbao and others operate. After receiving the video from Zhao Shuying, the other party walked out of the control room and went to the room next door. He turned on the video and his eyes were still fixed on the screens in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"

After clicking on a few screens, Ji Donglai still didn't relax at all.

In recent days, satellite debris has appeared around the silo, and part of it has been pierced, delaying the progress of the project.

"Boss Ji, the leader wants to talk to you about our root-seeking plan. Please report to the leader!"

Ji Donglai's temper was too stubborn, so Zhao Shuying didn't care to say anything more and hurriedly reminded him. However, Ji Donglai didn't care and just clicked on the big screen.

"Sure, hello, big boss! Hello!"

After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Ji Donglai hurriedly became respectful. The other party looked at Ji Donglai's young face and waved his hand.

"Hello, Xiaoji, your project is very creative. What is your idea for this silo? If you have any difficulties, you can tell the organization. We are an aviation power. If we need any help, our pilots can help!"

Looking at Ji Donglai, the leader's eyes were full of kindness.

For many years, there have been few young talents like Ji Donglai in domestic private enterprises. They focus on the field of science and technology, abandon profitable projects one by one, and invest all the money they earn into scientific and technological projects.

In the first few years, no one knew what Ji Donglai wanted to do, until recently, some people understood what Ji Donglai was doing.

"Thanks to the leadership for their concern, the overall progress of the project is now relatively stable. However, there is a flaw in the ointment. Recently, there have been debris passing by, causing some damage to our robots. Many countries are irresponsible and dump space junk randomly!"

"The main purpose of our project is to create metals that cannot be produced on Earth. When we were in the laboratory, we found that many rare metals, such as niobium and rhenium... are very difficult to prepare, and ion sputtering is not possible. However, according to theory, these metals can be manufactured in a microgravity environment."

"Leader, please take a look at our medium-range missile device. The metal coating on the lens inside was prepared after we followed the domestic Shenzhou spacecraft into space last time. Because of this metal coating, we have successfully reduced the ultraviolet wavelength of the DUV lithography machine to 7nm through multi-layer concentration!"

"For some other weapons that cannot be manufactured on the ground, we can also manufacture some parts in space, such as this one..."

Ji Donglai pressed the remote control and the huge door behind him opened. Behind Ji Donglai was a large triangular bird, gray and black in color. The staff at the base were wearing jumpsuits and were maintaining the main parts of the aircraft.

Ji Donglai was also filming the scene through the glass. The big leader was very focused and almost stood up when he saw the big black bird.

The other party clearly remembered that someone had sent a briefing and an inquiry letter in the previous stage, asking whether the country had developed advanced weapons that shot down a certain country's F16 and destroyed the opponent's missiles.

"What is the maximum speed of this plane?"

Looking at the big bird behind Shen Hao, the leader was a little excited.

"We can cruise at Mach 6, and at our limit we can reach Mach !"

Ji Donglai knocked on the glass and pointed to the nozzle of one of the engines. The person in charge hurriedly took a blade and gave it to Ji Donglai.

"Leader, please take a look. This coating is what we prepared from space experiments. The effect is very good and can withstand continuous high temperatures of more than 1800 degrees. We hope that more space exposure radiation intensity will make this metal even purer!"

"besides……"

Ji Donglai walked through the corridor as he spoke, and the camera turned to the technology exhibition hall. In the camera, equipment that had never been displayed to the outside world passed in front of the leaders.

Ji Donglai reached out to open the back cover of the intermediate-range guided device, put on gloves and took out one of the lenses. While Wuying was waiting, Ji Donglai took the camera and showed it to his leader.

"The coating on it is very beautiful. It is also a kind of metal, but it is not a pure metal. It is an alloy material. With this polarizing material, we can concentrate or disperse a lot of energy."
