Academicians of major countries start from top students

"Seeing that the problem of miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion devices has been solved, we can now have more confidence." Inside the aerospace mothership that has not yet been completed, He Luping looked at the Hyperion No. 4 that was being built, and he did not hide the smile on his face when he spoke.

"With this Hyperloop 4 as the base's energy supply, many subsequent tests will be much more convenient."

"Xu Yuan."

"You've given us a very good suggestion."

As an academician of the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute, He Luping was also selected to lead the team to participate in the research and development and manufacturing of the aerospace carrier after the aerospace carrier project was officially established.

It is no exaggeration to say that he felt the pressure on the day he received the task.

And responsibility.

Understand the importance of aerospace carriers to the country.

After all, no matter how advanced the technology developed is, we must first have the strength to protect these achievements.

Otherwise it would be like a child holding gold in a busy city.

The aerospace mothership and the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter are the best experience of absolute military force.

In the past two or three years, he and his team members have not dared to relax at all.

They all hope that the aerospace carrier can be completed as soon as possible.
Although the mission volume of the aerospace mothership far exceeds that of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter that the aviation department is responsible for, they still have a sense of urgency when they see new news about the unmanned aerospace fighter.

Fortunately, thanks to Xu Yuan's optimized design plan, we can carry out work in a targeted and regular manner.

Otherwise, running around like a headless fly will only make your efficiency lower.

This time, because Xu Yuan successfully conquered the miniaturization research of the controlled nuclear fusion tokamak device at Luyang Science Island, and proposed to place the first Hyperloop 4 in the aerospace mothership first, it was equivalent to adding a lot of help to their work tasks.

In the future, testing of aerospace carrier equipment and weapons will become much easier.

In this way, progress will naturally be faster.

Among the more than ten people at the scene, in addition to He Luping who was in a good mood at the moment, Academician You Kairong of the Rocket Technology Research Institute also echoed it.

"Compared to when we first received this task, the current progress is much faster than expected."

His main area of ​​expertise is rocket engine research, the most famous of which is the Long March 10.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, after seeing the design drawings of Xu Yuan, he was immediately attracted by the high-power compound engine.

I am willing to volunteer to participate in this major project.

According to the design in Xu Yuan's plan, in addition to two sets of nuclear fusion reactors to provide energy, the aerospace mothership also includes many sets of large induction force field drive devices and dozens of high-power composite engine engines.

No matter which one is taken out alone, it is definitely a terrifying data.

Beyond the existing scientific research community's understanding.

But it is this kind of thing that makes it most attractive to pure scientific researchers.

There was simply no way to refuse.

When people first learned about this task, many of them felt it was very difficult to accomplish.

Even though it was Xu Yuan who proposed this major project, he was not very optimistic about the future situation.

After all, the amount of manpower and material resources that need to be invested in it is absolutely unimaginable.

It is equivalent to the entire state machinery being put into motion.

But looking back now, I find that we are not far from achieving our original goal.

It is no exaggeration to say that the development of inductive force field drive devices and controlled nuclear fusion is just around the corner.

When these thoughts flash through one's mind quickly, it is inevitable that one will feel emotional.

These words seemed to touch He Luping's heart.

The next second he took over the conversation and nodded in response: "Who said it wasn't? If Old Chen saw the scene of us wearing glasses, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep." He looked thoughtful as he spoke.

Xu Yuan naturally knew that the Old Chen that He Luping mentioned was his father-in-law Chen Jianfang.

Because he chose to retire after China achieved manned lunar landing, and is now enjoying his retirement and is not a member of the project, according to regulations he naturally cannot tell the other party about the progress of the relevant project.

Just when a smile appeared on Xu Yuan's lips and he was about to stop being silent and start a conversation.

But then Shen Peng, with a happy look on his face, walked out.

He started shouting before he even got close.

"Reporting to Director Xu, the construction of the Hyperloop 4 has completed the preliminary stage and is expected to be officially ignited next month."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Xu Yuan nodded encouragingly.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. When it comes to controlled nuclear fusion devices, the relevant work should still be done by people in the field.

So this time Shen Peng followed.

Li Guojian and the rest of the people continued to build Hyperloop 4.

Shen Peng had been dealing with tokamak devices before. This time, he finally had the opportunity to see the country's aerospace mothership with his own eyes. Thinking about his own contribution to the mothership's take-off, his emotions seemed quite excited at this moment.

It would be difficult to calm down within a few days.

And that's exactly what happened.

After listening to Xu Yuan's words, Shen Peng did not intend to stop talking. The next second he changed the subject to a new topic.

"From what I read in the news, it seems that overseas people don't take us seriously. They really think we are just building new aircraft carriers."

"I'm really looking forward to the reactions and expressions of those overseas people when our aerospace carrier is unveiled."

The voice just fell.

He Luping next to him also became interested immediately and joined the discussion with a smile on his face.

"Who said we are not building an aircraft carrier? It's just that our aircraft carrier is slightly larger in size and has more advanced energy than the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers overseas. In addition, it has the function of being able to fly in deep space."

"You didn't mention the weapons configuration on our mothership at all." You Kairong added with a smile.

"Don't worry, this day won't be too far away." After listening to what they said, Xu Yuan immediately added: "Since overseas is so interested in our new aircraft carrier, we must satisfy them."

"It seems that we old guys need to work harder." You Kairong half-jokingly.

At this time, He Luping seemed to suddenly think of something, his expression instantly became serious, and he quickly asked Xu Yuan about the situation.

"correct."

"I heard that the Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter in Jincheng has completed the installation of the force field drive device. Combined with the project progress I know, I'm afraid it won't be long before it takes its first flight, right?"

As He Luping's words fell, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

In addition to You Kairong and Shen Peng, there are also academicians and senior professors in charge of other fields.

As a scientific researcher, he naturally knows what the first flight of a fighter jet means.

What’s more, it is an unmanned aerospace fighter like Xuanniao.

As long as it can achieve excellent performance in the first flight test, it means that it is qualified to officially serve.

Then batch production can be carried out.

After all, when their huge aerospace mothership is launched, it will not be enough to carry only one Xuanniao aerospace fighter.

That's too unpresentable and unimpressive.

Xu Yuan certainly wouldn't keep this issue a secret.

After meeting everyone's expectant eyes, he gave an affirmative answer with a smile on his face.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the date of the first flight will be officially confirmed next month."

"I've finally waited for it. It wasn't easy." He Luping immediately sighed after hearing the answer given by Xu Yuan.

At the same time he added another sentence.

"The Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter has made its first flight. No matter what, I must go and witness this historic moment with my own eyes."

Although You Kairong and others nearby did not say anything, they nodded vigorously to show their agreement.

Faced with such a historic moment, one must go to the scene to witness it with one’s own eyes to avoid any regrets.

At the same time, the maiden flight of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter also brought them new impetus.

I have already made a decision in my mind that after the Hyperloop 4 is officially built and successfully ignited, I will adjust the current progress in all aspects and speed up the progress as much as possible while ensuring quality.

that's it.

The next topic everyone discussed basically revolved around the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter.

We look forward to the actual flight data by then.

Although the Xuanniao has passed the wind tunnel test, most of its values ​​are still only theoretical.

What will the performance be like when the fighter jets actually fly at full speed in the air and deep space? This is what people are most concerned about.

If the expected values ​​cannot be reached, then the performance of its fighter jets will be somewhat unworthy of the aerospace carrier.

It is also worth mentioning that Shen Peng immediately turned around and returned to the area where Hyperloop 4 was located to continue to ensure the smooth construction of the nuclear fusion device.

Did not participate in everyone's discussion.

……

And for the next half month, Xu Yuan did not leave the aerospace carrier manufacturing base.

In addition to paying attention to the progress of the construction of Hyperion 4 every day, he also participated in the discussion meetings of He Luping and others, and gave his own opinions and solutions to some bottleneck problems encountered by the aerospace carrier.

This made He Luping and others very excited, and they listened to Xu Yuan's explanation attentively.

After the whole talk, it seemed as if the difficult problems that had been bothering me suddenly became clear.

This will undoubtedly help speed up the research progress of the space mothership.

You should know that Xu Yuan is the chief designer of two national key projects, the space mothership and the aerospace fighter.

In addition, there are issues that need to be resolved beforehand, such as the force field drive device and the ability to provide nuclear fusion.

There is definitely no way to stay in the aerospace carrier manufacturing base for a long time, which means that in some places, everyone needs to hold their own meetings to study and discuss countermeasures.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to build the Hyperion 4 controlled nuclear fusion device, I can ask Xu Yuan about my questions in detail.

Needless to say, everyone will attach great importance to it.

The key is that this is also related to the improvement of one's own level and strength.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is November.

Calm has returned to the Internet, and almost no one is discussing China's construction of a new aircraft carrier anymore.

no way.

Although high-level escort missions are rather strange, aircraft carriers are not that rare.

What's more, the country that built the aircraft carrier is a big country, so naturally no one will pay long-term attention to it.

It was in this environment that, through the efforts of Shen Peng and others, the Hyperloop 4 was finally successfully rebuilt.

After completing the inspection on the same day, the ignition was officially carried out.

The last ignition test has proven the powerful performance of Hyperloop-4 in all aspects.

It can be called a product of mature technology.

Therefore, even if there is a transfer of fortune, there will be no special unexpected changes.

"Light the fire."

Xu Yuan was already familiar with the ignition of the controlled nuclear fusion device. After Shen Peng reported the test data of the device, he basically had no hesitation or delay and directly issued the order to ignite the device in front of He Luping and others.

For He Luping, You Kairong and others, they had never seen the ignition of a controlled nuclear fusion device up close.

Therefore, when the temperature in the reaction chamber of the device quickly rose to the critical temperature and began the fusion reaction, everyone else was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless.

He Luping was the first to react after Hyperloop 4 had been running for more than a minute.

I couldn't take my eyes off it and sighed.

"Is this the controlled nuclear fusion that human civilization pursues? It really lives up to the ceiling of science and technology."

"Any researcher in the world would be shocked by the scene before their eyes. Fortunately, we have this in our own hands."

You Kairong didn't hear clearly what He Luping said, he just followed behind and expressed his feelings at the moment.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he now wants to drag Wilbur, who is in charge of the research of laser nuclear fusion devices at the overseas National Nuclear Fusion Laboratory, over to let the other party see it with his own eyes.

What is true controlled nuclear fusion?

Who said that Tokamak is the wrong research direction?

I'm afraid that just seeing this tokamak device in operation will cause your brain to shut down and you will lose the ability to think.

It was completely beyond the other party's understanding.

Almost an hour had passed after the ignition command was officially issued.

Xu Yuan confirmed that there were no problems with the rebuilt Hyperloop 4, and his originally slightly nervous mood immediately relaxed.

Then he turned around and said to He Luping, You Kairong and others, "Judging from the current operation of the fusion reaction of the Hyperloop 4, there should be no problem. I hope that this device can help the progress of your aerospace carrier project."

Before he could finish his words, he heard He Luping's hearty voice ringing in his ears.

"That's so helpful."

"With so many outstanding scientific researchers here, I am confident about the progress of the aerospace carrier project."

Xu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, we'll meet again when the black bird takes off for the first time."

Obviously he didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Seeing that the first flight of the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter is getting closer, there are only a few days left. At such an important moment, he must return to Jincheng in advance to take charge.

Ensure that the first flight test of the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter is successful at one time and give everyone a satisfactory answer.

Otherwise, it is unknown when the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter can be mass-produced.

He Luping and You Kairong naturally did not try to persuade him to stay at this time. After all, they both knew the importance of the matter.

Even they will be there to support.

Let us witness together the arrival of a new great moment.

But before that, they need to arrange the situation at the base first.

Especially after Hyperloop 4 officially started operation, some places and work also underwent changes.

As for nuclear researchers such as Shen Peng who came from Luyang, most of them also returned to Science Island.

Only essential staff remain.

After all, the task of their Institute of Plasma Physics is no easier than that of the aerospace field. They need to complete all the nuclear fusion device reactors required for the aerospace carrier as soon as possible.

We will even have to increase the number of nuclear fusion power stations in the country to complete the energy transformation.

I'm afraid I won't even be able to participate in the maiden flight of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter.

-

October 11, Wednesday.

The familiar Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute Airport seems very lively today.

The stands were already full of people in the morning.

If you look closely, you will find that they are all top figures in the domestic scientific research field.

For example, Gao Yuhe, Huang Yunliang and Liang Zhanjun in the aviation field, and He Luping and You Kairong in the aerospace field.

Zhang Guangyi from the radar module field, and Chang Hanping, a top engine engineer with whom he had previously collaborated.

There are also Bai Xinzhou and other Air Force leaders such as Yue Jinwei.

Of course, there is also Xu Yuan, an academician of the two academies, who is at the center of the crowd.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a rare grand scene is rarely seen in China.

It basically only appears at science and technology awards conferences.

There is only one reason why such a large lineup can be gathered today.

That is the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter, which has mobilized national power and invested a lot of resources in research and finally ushered in its first flight test.

This determines whether the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter is truly as powerful as it is theoretically.

It can launch a dimensionality reduction attack on other forces in the world.

If everything goes well, the situation will be further under control.

At least we don’t have to worry about the information about the controlled nuclear fusion device being leaked.

Although the sun was shining brightly at this moment, everyone's eyes were still fixed on the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter on the runway.

His eyes were fixed on it, as if he was admiring some priceless treasure.

The forward-swept wing aerodynamic layout design is matched with a fuselage of more than 20 meters and a wingspan of 14 meters.

Under the sunshine, it is filled with a strong sense of science fiction.

It seems to be out of tune with the current era and looks like it came straight out of a science fiction movie.

If this aerospace fighter were taken to an overseas country now, people would probably think that an alien civilization was invading the earth.

"According to our test arrangement, Xuanniao will fly around the earth and enter the predetermined orbit in deep space. The mission cycle is about one week."

Liang Zhanjun then briefly reported to Xu Yuan and the on-site leaders about the arrangements for the maiden flight of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter.

Because the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter can operate in deep space and perform missions in low-Earth orbit, and it has a force field drive device and various technologies that far exceed the current level of science and technology, each mission can last up to one week.

If necessary, this cycle can even be longer.

Therefore, this maiden flight is different from other previous fighter jets, and ground monitoring personnel will have to keep an eye on it for several days.

And record all the data of the fighter jet throughout the process.

Although Liang Zhanjun looked relatively calm and composed at this point, Xu Yuan understood that the pressure he was under was not small.

After all, even the other people who witnessed the maiden flight felt inexplicably nervous at this time, not to mention Liang Zhanjun, the direct person in charge of the aerospace fighter project.

Of course, Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang next to them were not much better.

Even though their qualifications are higher than Liang Zhanjun's.

Mainly on this project, both the country and they have invested a lot of effort and resources.

And there are countless people's expectations.

If something unexpected happened during the maiden flight of the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter on this occasion, it would indeed be unacceptable.

Xu Yuan did not remain silent. After listening to Liang Zhanjun's words, he responded with a smile on his face:
"It is especially important to relax at times like this. The Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter has condensed so many advanced technologies, and its success is inevitable."

"So don't worry about anything."

He comforted Liang Zhanjun, Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang who were standing beside him.

You know, this maiden flight test will last for several days. If I keep my nerves tense like this, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted before the maiden flight test is over.

And I have to say that Xu Yuan’s words are still very convincing.

After hearing these words, Liang Zhanjun and others' slightly frowned brows immediately relaxed and a slight smile appeared on their faces.

The next second he nodded and responded, "Dean Xu, you are right. How can we not have confidence in our own project?"

"The Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter will definitely succeed."

After saying that, he stopped talking and just stared at the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter on the runway.

Waiting for the takeoff countdown.

If someone had observed the scene carefully at this time, they would have discovered that compared with previous maiden flights of new fighter jets, there was not a single reporter or media personnel present today.

In other words, this first flight test is confidential.

Of course, it is normal to choose this method for the first flight test. After all, the actual combat capability of Xuanniao is still unknown. In addition, there is still a long time before the aerospace mothership is launched. Before the specific situation is confirmed, it is definitely not suitable to announce it to the public.

Anyway, with the special coating of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter and the induction force field drive device it carries, it can also achieve a stealth effect when the device is turned on.

Relying solely on the radar technology of other countries in the world, it would be extremely difficult to track the flight path of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter.

Besides, the flying speed is there.

Then, under the tense gaze of all the people on the scene, time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, the scheduled take-off time arrived.

Liang Zhanjun naturally did not dare to delay any of this and immediately reported to Xu Yuan according to the institute's traditional procedures.

"Reporting to Director Xu, the Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter has completed its self-inspection, and all values ​​meet the requirements for takeoff."

"Apply for takeoff."

Xu Yuan's eyes were always on the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter. After hearing Liang Zhanjun's voice, he did not make any movement.

With just a slight movement of his lips, he formally gave the order for the fighter plane to take off.

"Agreed to take off."

The next second, the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter was seen taking off into the sky after a short glide under its powerful power.
