Chapter 115 Fusion Engine Plan

After Chen Yuan successfully launched a heavy-duty launch vehicle and successfully recovered it, international news media reported on him again.

Twisting Times: "It's that Chinese boy again, once again successfully recycling a rocket! Compared with the previous recycling of small rockets, this time it is a heavy-duty launch vehicle!"

Reuters: "China Aerospace has made another breakthrough, NASA and Musk have encountered strong enemies, and rocket recovery technology may no longer be a unique federal technology!"

International News: "China has maturely mastered launch vehicle recovery technology. What strategy will they adopt next?"

Almost the whole world is paying attention to the next move of the big country.

After mastering launch vehicle recovery technology, many people believe that major countries will continue to invest more in aerospace technology in the future.

But at present no one knows where the major powers want to start.

At this time in the Space Exploration Technology Company, Musk was already troubled by today's news: "Damn it, the rocket recovery technology that I am so proud of has been easily mastered by China?"

"The key...it was successfully recovered after just one launch attempt!"

You must know that Musk himself carried out rocket recycling, but failed more than a hundred times before he mastered the technique through trial and error.

But now it only took one time to succeed, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Musk's confidence.

The whole world calls him a scientific madman and the father of rockets.

But now it seems that compared with that young man from China, I am like a stupid bird who can only succeed little by little through hard work, while others can find the truth of spaceflight in one fell swoop with their talent.

"Fake!!" Musk couldn't help but beat the table.

Such a frustrated look surprised the secretary who was about to come in at the door.

The phone in front of Musk rang, and the secretary was worried about enduring Musk's unknown anger, so she didn't go in.

After answering the phone, Musk's voice became gentle: "Hello, sir."

On the other end of the phone was NASA chief executive Lonkarski.

The admiral has absolute say in the federal aerospace field.

Musk's start-up was also inseparable from Lonkarski's help.

It can be said that Lonkarski is the largest investor behind Musk.

Musk was already nervous and breathing rapidly, but this call was not to accuse him. Lonkarski said in a serious tone: "Big countries have mastered rocket recovery technology, and our next plan will speed up the progress."

Musk is very clear about the plan he mentioned, which is to establish a relevant scientific research base on the moon.

What Musk has to do is to launch a large number of rockets to send people to the moon and radiate more lunar territory in the shortest time to achieve preliminary occupation work.

"Now that the major powers have mastered rocket recovery technology, they will definitely set their sights on developing the moon as a transit station to Mars. Whoever can occupy the moon first will have more advantages in conquering space later." Lonkarski emphasized. emphasized.

On the other side of the ocean, the National Space Administration held a celebration meeting, in which Chen Yuan was the biggest protagonist.

The rocket recovery technology he created has become the most proud technology in the aerospace industry.

Even Liu Changjiang, who had doubts about him before, became polite to Chen Yuan.

As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Liu Changjiang truly realized that Chen Yuan could reach his current position not without him.

"What happened to Xiao Chen before was my fault. I spoke too harshly at that time. I hereby solemnly apologize to you." Liu Changjiang's tone was sincere, and his expression showed his appreciation for Chen Yuan.

In fact, Chen Yuan had forgotten all the things that happened back then. He was not a grudge-bearing person, so when facing Liu Changjiang, he just smiled and said: "What did Liu Gong say? We are all working hard for the same goal." , we can’t talk about who is right or wrong.” Xu Wenyuan was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that the two people who had not dealt with each other before were now as good as father and mother.

At this time, Ying Ludong also came over, pulled Chen Yuan aside, took out his mobile phone from his arms: "I'll show you something."

At first, Chen Yuan didn't know why Ying Ludong was so mysterious, but when he saw the video playing on his phone, he couldn't help laughing.

The person in the video is Sun Youqiang. Under interrogation by the police, he confessed to publishing false content on the Internet to guide public opinion and smear public officials.

"The results of this guy's treatment have also come out. The local space bureau removed him from his post and reported it to the entire unit." Ying Ludong felt that this was a relief to Chen Yuan and a warning to others.

Chen Yuan actually didn't pay much attention to Sun Youqiang because he never cared about the comments on the Internet.

In his eyes, it was only now that he knew Sun Youqiang.

To put it bluntly, he is just a clown and is not taken seriously at all.

Seeing that Li Weimin was coming with Ying Ludong, Chen Yuan thought of something and quickly took out a plan from his bag.

"By the way, you two, take a look at this." Chen Yuan handed over the plan.

"This is?" Ying Ludong opened the plan and was instantly attracted by the title above, "About the research and design of rocket nuclear power engines..."

Li Weimin was a little surprised: "You plan to study nuclear fusion rockets?"

Neither he nor Ying Ludong reacted. You know, Chen Yuan had just solved the problem of rocket recovery. How long had it been?

It has only been less than a day and you are already thinking about building a nuclear fusion rocket?

Is this kid a human?...

No need to rest?

"This plan was actually drafted when I opened the Xingyao Aerospace Factory." Afraid of misunderstanding between the two, Chen Yuan explained that it was something he had prepared in advance and just spent one night polishing it. .

But even if it is just a temporary polish, its content has a profound impact.

In particular, some of the professional content and technical advice in it made Li Weimin sigh: "If you select some content and publish a paper, you will definitely win an award!"

This is by no means a boast by Li Weimin. He believes that the top Nature journal will definitely accept such a paper, and it will be enough to trigger huge academic discussions around the world.

If nothing else happens, Chen Yuan can win the Nobel Prize.

Chen Yuan was very happy to be recognized by Li Weimin, but what he was happy about was not that his vanity was satisfied, but that his idea of ​​fusion rockets was recognized.

"But why do you want to do this?" Li Weimin asked curiously.

In his view, whether it is rocket recovery or fusion rockets, these are still immature things, and the price to be paid to overcome these is very high.

Obviously Chen Yuan can successfully solve a rocket recovery, but the god of luck cannot always take care of him.

Li Weimin is still a little worried that if this project fails, it will damage Chen Yuan's self-confidence.

Chen Yuan explained: "Although we have solved the problem of rocket recovery technology, we are still far from realizing real space navigation."

"With our current technology, it is difficult to land a man on the moon, and it is even more impossible to directly send people to Mars using rockets."

"The reason why such a problem occurs is because the rocket's range is not far enough, and the fuel it carries cannot support the rocket to travel such a long distance."

"If this problem is not solved, then humans will never get out of the earth."
