Upper Beijing.

Office of the Director of the Research Institute of Aviation Science and Technology Group.

Academician Yuan Huanmin, wearing reading glasses, sat next to his desk, holding a pencil with paint in his hand, staring at the sketch on the table meticulously, and muttered for a long time.

To his left was a thick stack of copies of drawings, weighed down by an almost crumbling reference book on aerospace engineering. Judging from the marks on the copies of the drawings, he probably had studied them thoroughly.

On the other side of the desk, Director Li held his breath and stood there like a student.

Half an hour had passed since he walked into this office, and he didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing the old gentleman's thinking.

The clock ticked on the wall, and after another ten minutes or so, the old gentleman finally breathed a sigh of relief, scribbled a line of annotation on the drawing, and then laid it on the stack of drawings beside it.

It was only then that he noticed Director Li standing across from the desk, so he quickly stood up.

"Oh, Lao Li? Why are you here and don't say hello to me. ”

"You old fellow, didn't you call me and tell me that there was a result? I hurriedly came by car......" Director Li smiled, not caring about what had kept him waiting for so long, and after a short greeting, he immediately asked straight to the point, "What?" This picture? Do you think the things drawn on it are reliable? ”

"The picture is very good...... He is worthy of being the world's first mathematician. ”

Yuan Huanmin let out a long sigh and said with emotion, "Basically, I tried to check every data, and there were no omissions, and the various components and functional units were interlocking, logical, and ...... It's not like it was designed by one person. ”

Director Li swallowed and asked, "What is that?" ”

"It's like a team of mathematicians, physicists, aerospace engineers, materials engineers, thermodynamic engineers, and information engineering experts...... and a series of design teams of experts in various industries, and everyone has a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation," after thinking for a moment, Academician Yuan continued, "I think there is only a place like Jinling Institute for Advanced Study in China that can integrate top talents in various industries so efficiently." ”

Speaking of this, he was quite envious in his heart.

If Hangke Group also has such a huge talent pool, and there is an academic leader who can twist all talents into a rope, they are the units that shine in the earth-moon transfer orbit now, and they will not be able to play auxiliary positions like now.

However, he also knew in his heart that this thing would not be envied at all.

Academician Lu has achieved Star Science and Technology, and the unique business model and technical strength of Star Technology have made Jinling Xingxing Technology Park, and this kind of influence passed down layer by layer is like nuclear fusion, forming a huge but not bloated scientific research and production system.

The only organization that can compare with them is NASA.

Of course, it's just a comparison in terms of overall volume.

In terms of strength, it has to be on Mars......

Looking at the emotion on Academician Yuan's face, Director Li's expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

There was one thing he hadn't said.

That's the picture, which Lu Zhou spent two days doing when he was in retreat......

Noticing the strangeness of Director Li's expression, Academician Yuan thought that he had said something wrong, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing...... That guy is a monster and can't be considered by common sense. ”

Under the gaze of Academician Yuan's inexplicable expression, Director Li coughed dryly and continued, "If you think there is no problem, I hope you can write a written opinion, and I will take this picture to the Great Hall on Chang'an Avenue and discuss it at a recent high-level meeting." ”

"That's easy to say, I can write the opinion letter now," Academician Yuan nodded and continued, "But this drawing ...... I guess I'm not done yet, right? ”

Director Li nodded.

"That's right, I asked Academician Lu, and he said that many details were not added. According to him, with the current material technology, many designs cannot be realized, and it is possible to design that part when the materials meet the standards. ”

"Oh, I see," Academician Yuan nodded, a clear expression appeared on his face, "I just wanted to ask what this rope part with a Young's modulus of 2.07TPa and a failure strength of 79N/m is, but I haven't studied it yet......"

Director Li frowned and asked, "What is this...... Is it hard to make? ”

"It's hard for me to say whether it's difficult or not, after all, he is an expert in materials, and I don't know much," looking at the stack of drawings next to him, Academician Yuan Huanmin pondered for a while and continued, "But any problem can be solved on the scale of time...... Not to mention a hundred years. ”

Speaking of this, Academician Yuan Huanmin suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but pick up a sentence later.

“…… Can we discuss this? ”

Director Li was stunned for a moment and asked.

“…… What to discuss? ”

"Leave the drawings alone for now...... Can you let him think of a way to get this cable material out first? ”

Director Li: "I'll try to think of a way...... Are you in a hurry here? ”

"It's not a hurry," Academician Yuan Huanmin sighed and continued, "It's just that if this thing can really be made, it will be of great help to our shipbuilding industry, construction engineering and aerospace industry." ”

Director Li immediately asked, "How old?" Is there an accurate number? ”

"I'll tell you the exact number, I can only make a rough estimate."

Academician Yuan Huanmin shook his head with a smile, and after a pause, continued.

"I don't know much about construction and ships, so I don't just point out, but aerospace is ...... Let us avoid five years and ten years of detours, there is still no problem! ”

Decade!

When he first heard this number, Director Li thought that he had misheard, or that Academician Yuan Huanmin was joking.

In any case, it would be too much of an exaggeration to go forward for a decade.

It wasn't until it was true that it wasn't a joke that the expression on his face became serious when he realized the crux of the problem.

"I'm going to Jinling—no, I'll go to Jinling when the matter here is settled!"

"There's no need to be so anxious," Seeing Director Li's serious face, Academician Yuan was worried that he was using too much force, so he continued again, "The reason why I say this is because this problem is not so easy to solve." Materials, energy, and information, none of the three mountains that weigh on the head of modern technology are easy to deal with. ”

"Especially since this thing is different from mathematics and physics, inspiration alone is useless, and it is only possible to find a way out by accumulating time and continuous trial and error. Even if you ask Academician Lu for help, he may not have any good way, otherwise he will not use this part as a blank space on the drawings. ”

With excitement written on his face, Director Li said stubbornly.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Looking at Director Li, who was superstitious about Academician Lu's aura, Academician Yuan sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said.

"Forget it, I won't persuade you, let it be."
