Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 455 The atmosphere is not right

After the launching ceremony, Kang Chi followed his leader to board the ship for a tour. The original plan to observe the sea trial was temporarily cancelled due to the National Day.

Anyway, Ren Zhou has already issued the military order, and I believe the Jiangbei ship will be able to complete sea trials soon and initially form combat capability.

So he set off back to Dongyang in the afternoon and officially started the construction of the Sky-reaching.

At the same time, according to the needs of Chief Shen, he designed a single-soldier booster in his spare time.

Designing this kind of booster that is only used for cushioning landing is naturally a piece of cake for Kang Chi now.
But if you want to be able to fly freely like Iron Man, with a speed comparable to that of a fighter plane, and even fly out of the atmosphere...

With current power technology, this is obviously impossible.
This will only be possible if small-scale nuclear fusion is truly achieved, and it will probably have to be the second generation of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

On the third day after Kang Chi returned to Dongyang, Chief Shen finally called.

"The first flight of the Atlas will be on October 10st!"

After hearing the clear instructions from the Council of Elders, Kang Chi said excitedly: "Got it, I will complete the task!"

"Well, go ahead and do it, but make sure you do it well. Remember, by then, not only the people of this country, but the eyes of the whole world will be on us."

"Please rest assured, leaders. We will never let down the country's trust."

"Well, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. If, I mean if, something really goes wrong, we will help you and give you time and a chance to get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Chief, but I won't let that happen."

"Okay, since you are so confident, we feel more assured. In addition, since you have added such a large amount, we would like to help add a little more..."

"Increase the stakes?"

"Well, where did the Skyrim complete its final assembly?"

“It’s still Luzhou.”

"What about the launch?"

"Temporarily set it in Wenchang."

"Ship it there?"

"That's the plan."

"Got it..." Chief Shen hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'll have someone discuss how to increase the stakes later and have them send you some information."

"Speaking of information, the individual booster development project you mentioned earlier, we have already allocated it to the National University of Defense Technology and Yanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics."

"The person in charge of manufacturing this project is Academician Bi, and he will send you the information later. We can't help with the technical stuff, so you can only contact them in person later."

"no problem."

……

In a bright office at the National University of Defense Technology, Academician Bi is wearing reading glasses and carefully reviewing the dissertation proposals of doctoral students who will graduate this winter.

Just as he finished annotating one proposal and was about to switch to the next, a voice suddenly came: "Lao Bi, are you busy?"

Since Academician Bi was used to keeping his office door open, as soon as he looked up he saw Principal Yuan walking into the office with a smile.

"Well, I just finished one batch these days, but I have to prepare for the next batch..."

"Good job."

"I'm used to it. I make my own tea on the table."

After Academician Bi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to read the last report as if no one was around.

Principal Yuan had also gotten used to his way of working, so he made himself a cup of tea and waited quietly for him to finish his work.

"Huh... the quality of the past two years has really been getting worse and worse."

After half an hour, Academician Bi finally took off his glasses, exhaled, and looked up at Principal Yuan: "Tell me, what's the matter again?"

"Can't you come over and show some concern for the old comrades if you have nothing to do?"

"Why are you beating around the bush with me? You're just thinking about the new project."

Principal Yuan, whose thoughts were frustrated, smiled awkwardly: "I really can't hide anything from you."

Academician Bi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "You've come to my place three times in the past two days, and you're still hiding something."

"Is it that obvious...By the way, Academician Kang hasn't contacted you yet?"

"The project was finalized only a few days ago. Even Academician Kang would not be able to do it so quickly. Just go back and wait for the news. I will notify you as soon as I have any."

"So you've agreed?"

"Well... let's take a look. I..."

Before he could utter the word "try his best", Academician Bi's cell phone rang.

The number that called was an unfamiliar one, and it was a short number with only four digits.

Academician Bi hesitated for a second, but finally answered the call. "Academician Bi?"

Fortunately, he didn't hang up the call as if it were a spam call, because the voice coming from the other end was the person they had just been discussing.

"I'm Bi Huiyang, you're Academician Kang, right?"

"Yes, Commander Shen called me. I have asked someone to send you the design plan for the individual booster. It will arrive this afternoon. I have marked most of the technical points on the materials. I have also asked someone to note the OEM companies that can handle the more difficult parts. Most of them are from aerospace systems."

Academician Bi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You are feeding all the food into our mouths..."

"Haha, isn't this just to avoid unnecessary communication and wasting time? After all, there aren't many days left. The key is that there's no plan for mass production of this thing, so you have to manually assemble and debug it one by one, which is a lot of work."

"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble."

"It's nothing. I'll hang up now if I have any questions. Feel free to contact me if you have any follow-up questions."

"OK,"

Academician Bi paused for a moment and glanced at Principal Yuan who looked nervous.
"that……"

"Dududu-"

Academician Bi was immediately filled with questions.

Seeing this, Principal Yuan quickly asked, "Hang up?"

"Ah."

"How did he say?"

"I haven't had time to ask..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Principal Yuan could not help but suggest, "Why don't you call back and ask?"

"But he sounds busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, you won't miss a few minutes. Besides, this matter not only affects our National University of Defense Technology, but also has great significance for scientific research institutions and enterprises across the country. I believe you have a deep understanding of this truth..."

Academician Bi couldn't help but blush, and after hesitating for a moment, he still called according to Principal Yuan's instructions.

"Well, actually, I have something I want to ask you just now."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Can you spare some time to come to our National University of Defense Technology to give a lecture?"

"Giving a lecture?"

Kang Chi on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Academician Bi should be very clear that at this critical juncture everyone is busy preparing for October 10st, so how can they have time to give lectures?
"Is there any special reason?"

"Well... how should I put it, the scientific research atmosphere in our school has been a little off lately..."

"Something's wrong?"

"Well, it's mainly because you've been doing military research and development over the past two years, and the speed at which you've produced results is a bit... too exaggerated."

"so what?"

"You should also know that every time you produce a major achievement, a large number of R&D projects will be suspended or cancelled, and new projects will have to be established. Sometimes the speed of establishing a project is even faster than the speed of cancelling it..."

"For example, a project I submitted was just approved last month, but after less than two weeks of preparation, we were suddenly notified that the project had to be cancelled because of technological breakthroughs. This had a great impact on the morale of our researchers. We became a little hesitant when establishing new projects, fearing that they would collide with yours or be indirectly affected. Both our leaders and students seemed a little confused and depressed..."

"Uh..." Kang Chi couldn't help scratching his hair, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"I know, it's actually difficult for you to do this. We can't let you stand out and make decisions, saying this can't be done, that direction is not right, and offend a lot of people for nothing, right?"

"Well... Actually, the Ministry of Science and Technology seems to be planning to let me do this in the future, but the problem is that there are so many scientific research projects, and I can't spend too much time on project approval. I can only pick a few key ones to look at."

"That's why we especially want you to come over here." Academician Bi said sincerely, "First, we want you to help us come up with some ideas and broaden the research and development direction. Second, we also hope that you can cheer us up and get rid of the depression."

Kang Chi actually wanted to say that his focus has now shifted from military industry to aerospace, and he is not so "targeting" you.

But on second thought,
In fact, all technologies are interconnected. Who knows when it will accidentally injure friendly forces again...

So when the words came to his lips, he finally turned around and nodded, "I understand. If it's convenient for you, I'll come over the day after tomorrow morning."

"It's convenient! Of course it's convenient." Hearing that Kang Chizhen agreed, Academician Bi couldn't help but look up and smile at Principal Yuan.

"But will this delay your research and development work?"

"Fortunately, this week isn't too busy."

"Then we look forward to seeing Academician Kang!"
