Chapter 451: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future, Standing at the Forefront
Yanjing, a conference room.

Cai Yaobin, who received a temporary notice, rushed to the venue and found that there were already dozens of familiar faces sitting there.

But apart from the different departments they were in, the only thing they had in common was that, like himself, they were all confused and had no idea why they were suddenly called over.

After finding his seat and waiting patiently for five minutes, Cai Yaobin saw the familiar figure of the old man.
He walked up to the stage quickly, glanced at everyone present with a flushed face, and went straight to the point: "First, let me share a good news with you. Academician Kang's booster test launch in Jiuquan was successful!"

"Boosters?"

"What booster?"

Since this test launch was kept highly confidential, many people were confused after hearing about it.

But soon someone handed them a document.

After receiving the document, Cai Yaobin immediately opened the cover. After seeing the detailed parameters and experimental data of the Tongtian No. 1 booster in the text, his heart immediately began to beat...

Good guy,
During this period of time, he has quietly done something big, right?

The thrust of a single engine is 350 tons, and the total thrust of the booster is 4550 tons!
Looking at such exaggerated data, Cai Yaobin could hardly believe his eyes.

Although China's aerospace strength has been growing in recent years, and even has a tendency to surpass some established aerospace powers, in the field of aerospace engines, we have always been at a considerable disadvantage.

Although the Long March 3000 heavy-lift carrier rocket under development has a takeoff weight and thrust of 4000 tons and tons respectively, which is almost twice as high as the Falcon Heavy,
But that is a planned project after all, and it may only be realized around 2030.

As for the rockets currently in service, the one with the strongest carrying capacity and thrust is still the Long March 32, which has a LEO (low earth orbit) thrust of 1068 tons and a sea level thrust of tons...

On the other hand, SpaceX's Starship, which has a thrust of over 7000 tons, has been successfully tested several times.
The gap between the two sides has not narrowed, but has widened.

If I say I'm not anxious, I'd be lying.

The sudden appearance of Kangchi's booster instantly filled the gap in super-heavy rocket engines, which undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance.

However, when Cai Yaobin continued to read on, he discovered that the thrust data was actually the least impressive part of the data.

Such a high-thrust booster weighs only 500 tons!
It can be filled with up to 1000 tons of propellant, and at the same time its size is very small, which greatly reduces the drag coefficient.

What’s more important is that this thing is recyclable!

What kind of magical data is this! ! ?
The entire conference room was silent, and everyone was speechless at the document in front of them.

If this booster had come out a few years earlier, we wouldn't have needed to launch it dozens of times to build our space station!
Can we send the entire space station up in one go? !

"Is this data... okay?"

The old man couldn't help but smile: "How can this be false? Even if you don't believe Academician Kang, you should at least believe what I say, right?"

As soon as this was said, everyone's doubts were immediately suppressed. The feeling of not being able to imagine, but not being able to doubt, was so uncomfortable...

"Old Yan, tell me what you think first."

"My mind is still a little confused right now...How about Director Cai talk about it first?"

So everyone turned their attention to Cai Yaobin, who was the youngest, had the lowest position, and had the least experience in the room...

Cai Yaobin, who was pushed out, was under great pressure. After thinking for a moment, he said with a stiff upper lip: "I think we can partially upgrade the existing missile system based on this booster."

"The truth is only within the range of the cannon! And with the performance of this booster, it is entirely possible to increase the range of our missiles by several times or even dozens of times!"

"By then, let alone precision strikes on a global scale, we can just fly around the earth a few times and wait for all the enemy's interceptor missiles to run out of fuel before we can attack them..."

"That's a waste of talent." Although Chief Shen was also very excited, he still analyzed calmly, "With this booster, we don't have to worry about sending things into space in the future."

"Haven't we been discussing the feasibility of aerospace bombers before?" "It just so happens that Academician Kang's current goal is to build a space shuttle. In fact, in my opinion, the space shuttle and aerospace plane are actually very similar, just with different names."

"Then let him modify a few space shuttles to carry missiles. Missiles launched directly from space are more effective than any ground-based missiles!"

"That makes sense." Cai Yaobin immediately nodded in agreement after hearing this: "I didn't think it through. Commander Shen's plan not only saves the cost of upgrading missiles, but also allows the original missiles to continue to shine in space. At the same time, the launch response speed, maneuverability, range and other performance can also be greatly enhanced..."

"Ahem, orbital bombers are indeed powerful, and we must make them." Director Ge couldn't help but interject, "But can this matter be put on hold for the time being?"

"Old M has already been scared out of his wits a while ago. If you put a space bomber loaded with nuclear bombs over their heads all day, aren't you afraid that they will do something desperate?"

"Who said we were going to hover over their heads? Why not just equip them with conventional weapons and fly around them?"

"You...even if you don't consider other people's feelings, you should at least consider Academician Kang's feelings, right?"

"They have just developed the booster, and the space shuttle has not even appeared yet, but you are helping them plan for the future. Have you considered the production capacity issue? Have you asked for their opinions?"

"Uh……"

These military leaders who suffered from severe "fear of insufficient firepower" immediately gave up after hearing Kang Chi's name.

If we were to list the people they were most afraid to offend, Kang Chi would definitely be in the top three.

After all, I have helped them develop so many high-tech military equipment. Even if we don't consider the future, we should still remember the kindness we have shown them.

"What Director Ge just said makes sense." Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting hall had cooled, the old man on the stage spoke up, "Academician Kang has his own plans and directions. Unless there are major deviations, we should try not to interfere with or influence him."

"In addition, the mysterious planet is our main focus in the aerospace field. Before we figure out the mysterious planet, we must carefully calculate every kilogram of materials we send into space. In addition, the moon landing project, space station expansion project, etc., are all high priority."

"In short, once all conditions are met, with the planned performance of Academician Kang's Sky-Strike, it will be no problem to build a space fortress, let alone an aerospace bomber."

Space fortress?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this advanced word "da bing" come out of the old man's mouth.

If this had happened a few years ago, even the Strategic Research Institute, which was known for its boldness, probably wouldn't have dared to mention it, right?

It can be seen that Kang Chi’s amazing performance in recent years has made the usually conservative old man become more ambitious.

The slogan that was shouted most often in the past was "great rejuvenation".
But the revival has become an unstoppable fact, so what he often says now has become "carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, bravely stand at the forefront!"

"However, the main purpose of calling you here today is not to discuss how to properly utilize the interim results of the Sky-Strengthening Project."

Just when everyone was full of longing, the old man suddenly changed the subject and cooled their tempers:
"I hope that your departments will go back and think carefully about which existing projects overlap or conflict with the Sky Plan. Do they need to be adjusted, suspended, or even canceled?"

“After these projects are cancelled, what new projects with higher priority can be started?”

"In addition, before starting a major project, is it necessary to consult Academician Kang for his opinion..."

Everyone's expressions looked somewhat complicated after hearing this.

Cancelling projects and launching new ones, the workload is a bit heavy.

But more importantly, it is the old man's last sentence.
Could you please consult Academician Kang?

There are two meanings revealed here.

First of all, before embarking on a major project, Kang Chi's opinion must be consulted. In fact, he has been placed in a position similar to that of a "chief scientist".
Another meaning is that they should avoid scientific research conflicts with Academician Kang, thus causing unnecessary waste of resources.

Being able to make such a special adjustment shows how absolute his trust in Kang Chi is...
