Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 583

After going to Xiaomengzhuang, Bai Mingxiu was still quite embarrassed.The V-2 rocket, which was thought to be useful, was ignored by others, but on the other hand, Bai Mingxiu was quite happy.

For example, Li Kangkang, a group of scientific and technical personnel who are about the same age as himself, but are in their golden years in their prime, have fully grown up.Their teachers were basically talents recruited by Bai Mingxiu from the system back then. At that time, they were basically C-level and D-level talents, not high-level, and there were very few A-level and B-level talents.However, the knowledge system they brought is complete, and Bai Mingxiu has also forged an open and diverse academic environment through the Ming education system, which has inspired a large number of scholars who were originally restricted in their thinking and could only learn stereotypes, or even not at all. The scholar's guy became a science dog.

Li Kangkang and a group of talents born and bred in Ming Dynasty are now gradually able to take on great responsibilities.

If Bai Mingxiu had not brought systematic talents covering almost all industries to teach them and instilled in them systematic knowledge and thinking skills, it would have been impossible for a group of outstanding talents such as Li Kangkang to emerge in just over 20 years.And Li Kangkang, who had been in the academic field for a long time, began to lead a new group of young science and engineering talents, so that the scientific research field of Ming Dynasty appeared endlessly.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu really didn't pay much attention to the "unpopular" fields like aerospace technology. He paid more attention to the actual aviation, shipbuilding and other things. In his opinion, it may be too early to point out the technology tree of spacecraft. , but a big bull like Li Kangkang slapped Bai Mingxiu in the face with practical actions. They have the ability to do it, but they just don't see it.

Bai Mingxiu stayed in Xiaomengzhuang's cafeteria to eat with everyone in the research center that day. Bureaucrats like the director did not squeeze into the emperor's dining table. It's a classmate.

"...That is to say, you can now build rockets for launching satellites?"

"We have been doing design work in this area, and have trial-produced some prototype models. The theoretical data is sufficient to support us to do such a launch. The main reason is that the National Institute of Power Equipment has made very fast progress in the past two years. Their rocket engines, ram The engine has made a lot of achievements, but the main subject of the Institute of Motion Research is still focused on turbojet, so we have cooperated with the Institute of Motion Research to study rocket engines, and then we can do experiments for verification."

Another researcher said: "Compared with many machinery and equipment research centers, our Xiaomengzhuang is relatively poorly integrated with the industry, so basically there are not many projects from enterprises, so we are very dependent on state funding. Because our competent departments also There is no batch launch plan for us in this five-year plan, so we have developed and verified many technologies, but they have not really launched them. Even so, everyone’s enthusiasm is still very high. Others say that we are Xiaomeng. Zhuang is an ideal research station, because everyone dreams that one day our Ming people will be able to fly off the earth, land on the moon, and even go further into outer space."

Bai Mingxiu laughed: "Our journey is the sea of ​​stars."

Li Kangkang nodded in agreement: "Yes, even though there are still many places on the earth that have not been developed, our eyes should not only see this tiny planet, the universe is boundless, maybe in the future we will have our own colonial planet, a family of relatives and friends It may be possible to communicate across light-years - I may not see this day, but I hope my children and grandchildren will."

Bai Mingxiu really didn't expect that these experts in aerospace technology would have such lofty aspirations.In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Daming was already the number one power in the world 20 years ago, a powerful existence that cannot be defeated by the outside world.Although ordinary people like Bai Mingxiu have been committed to expanding the territory and opening up living space for the descendants of Ming Dynasty, the majority of Ming people have to find a way to realize themselves.And these people who are engaged in technology have such an idea.

More than ten or twenty years ago, Bai Mingxiu did a systematic side mission, and the system rewarded him with a series of works. These are basically literary classics that only appeared in his dimension after the 20th century, including early science fiction. Novels, from Shelley's "Frankenstein" to Verne's series of novels, as well as Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" and "Citizens of the Galaxy", which later had great influence, and even the god-like Asimo Husband's "Foundation Trilogy" and "I, Robot".

These works appear under the names of various Zhang San Li Si, and Bai Mingxiu even got some system writers to come out to replace them for the sake of fit.All the works have been localized in the Ming Dynasty and have the characteristics of Chinese culture.All kinds of unconstrained imaginations and discussions about science and the future are undoubtedly a huge cultural shock to the general public of Ming Dynasty, and have also inspired many young people to devote themselves to this cause.

When human beings liberate their imaginations, actively explore the unknown and try to master new ideas and technologies, maybe "God" will laugh, but the brilliance and energy that persistent human beings burst out are immeasurable.

"The work you are doing now is pioneering and will be remembered by all the people of Ming Dynasty in the future. It is also an outstanding contribution to mankind. I admit that it is impossible for us in Ming Dynasty to take care of all aspects, and it is impossible for us to do unlimited things. Invest in one field, but I will explain to the Council the importance of your work. I also want to see our Daming satellites floating in Earth orbit, and I also hope that one day Daming astronauts can talk to us in outer space. "

Bai Mingxiu's words made the scientific researchers present very excited, but Li Kangkang sang the opposite tune: "His Majesty's intentions are very good, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to our aerospace industry. However, we also know that the aerospace industry It should not be placed in the most important areas of development today. Our infrastructure, railways, shipbuilding, aircraft, biochemistry, and electronic semiconductors are all very important and will change people's lifestyles. However, aerospace is now too far out of reach. The Ming Dynasty and The people will lack the motivation to continuously invest. Compared with one-time and two-time large-scale investments with purpose, I prefer the current step-by-step and cyclical steady flow. I just ask our comrades to be patient. I have to live with loneliness."

This really made Bai Mingxiu look at Li Kangkang with admiration, his insights are very powerful.The rapid development of the aerospace industry in history was actually based on the background of the Cold War space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. After the moon landing program, there were no major actions, and there was no momentum.Engaging in rockets is also engaging in missiles, but now Daming doesn't even have enemies in the air, let alone missiles.It is not easy for Li Kangkang to jump out of his own domain and think in terms of the overall structure of Ming Dynasty.
