I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

In the first mission, the system rewarded a lot of things, but in the second mission, there was only a dry engine.

However, Lin Ju is not surprised. This system obviously has extremely high intelligence. It may have taken care of it to a certain extent before, but now it seems that it no longer uses it.

He was not surprised about the third mission, but the need to produce NPAE according to the prompt was a bit unexpected, which meant that he had to find a way to add the atomic energy direction to the research of Xinyuan Aerospace Power.

As for the NPAE technology, after Lin Ju clicked to extract it, there was a pile of hard drives in front of him, with "design drawings", "technical parameters", "experimental data", "materials and processes" written on them, etc., which were more complex than the previous technology in terms of perception. many.

These things were completely incomprehensible to Lin Ju, so he quickly summoned system engineers.

Four system engineers, one B+ and three B-level, felt numb when they saw a pile of hard drives.

It took them four or five hours to briefly browse the catalog and brief technical description, and then they had a basic understanding of NPAE.

Guo Shen rubbed his sore eyes and put on his glasses again, unable to hide his fatigue.

"Boss, NPAE... is a very powerful, very complex, and very difficult engine. It concentrates nuclear energy, plasma, gas tip and other directions, as well as quite a lot of new materials and processes. If you want to produce it, just This engine unit requires a team of 1,000 people.

And all of them start at D+ level, requiring at least one B+ level nuclear physicist to lead them. The development cost... the initial investment may be around 8 to 10 billion yuan. "

Guo Shen's main business is engine design, while Androv is good at spacecraft and rocket design. He explained the performance of NPAE to Lin Ju:

"The best thing about NPAE is that it uses fast neutron sodium-cooled reactors to maximize the use of energy while reducing radiation, so that it can be used in the earth's atmosphere without causing pollution. This is very important; and whether it is in the atmosphere or in a vacuum The engine thrust is very good, and it uses easily stored methane as fuel, which is really rare.

I can design a landing spacecraft with 6 engines and a take-off weight of about 100 tons. It can carry 20 tons and 10 astronauts and take off from the surface into orbit; it can also be used as a lunar lander.

This means that from now on in aerospace, things will no longer be thrown away after a short flight, but can be returned and recycled in one piece. "

Androv said, picking up the chalk and drawing on the blackboard in the small conference room:

"You see, in the future we can let the landing spacecraft take off directly from the surface, fly to low-Earth orbit by itself, combine with the orbital module there, use the fuel there to push the assembly to the moon, descend and land on the moon, and make machines on the lunar surface. It fills up with methane, flies up again, combines with the orbital module and flies back to Earth.

Then break away and return to the surface without giving up anything at all! "

He used a blackboard eraser to simulate the installation of NPAE's landing spacecraft. In Lin Ju's imagination, the spacecraft took off like in a science fiction movie, and then returned with all tail and tail, and only needed to refuel a few times!

Lin Ju stood up excitedly and kept walking around the open space, looking longingly at Androv's simple drawing on the blackboard.

He understood why Ma Yilong clung to his starship. Except that the starship needed a booster on the ground to fly into space, the procedure was similar to that of a lander using NPAE, which was completely in line with human beings' imagination of future spaceships!

"Do it! Let's do NAPE!"

Lin Ju's tone was extremely firm, and he picked up the hard drive containing the data from the table and held it up in his hand:

"Relying on the current chemical energy rockets, we can only send small things up to less than 50 tons with a mass of 1,300 tons. Rockets launched from the ground can only send 3.5% of the weight into space. In this way, humans will never be able to enter the real space. The age of spaceflight!

We are an aerospace power company, and specific impact is the future. The NPAE project must be launched as soon as possible. Within 48 months, we will use it to build a spacecraft to fly to the moon! "

"A100 should also be developed simultaneously."

Guo Shen said again.

"A100?" Lin Ju was a little confused. NAPE's thrust was much greater than A100.

“NAPE is designed for planets/satellites to travel to and from space, with large thrust and high thrust-to-weight ratio;

The target of the A100 is a deep space spacecraft. Although it weighs more than 10 tons, its specific impulse of 26,000 seconds is unique. 50 tons of fuel is only enough for 6 NAPEs to fly into low-Earth orbit, but it can allow three A100s to carry A three-hundred-ton spacecraft traveling to and from Mars is the future. "

He successfully persuaded Lin Ju, who immediately created a new task in the Systems Research Institute:

[The mission of the institute: Master the NPAE production process and successfully manufacture qualified engines according to technical requirements.

Current progress: 0%

The mission of the institute: master the A100 production process and successfully manufacture a qualified engine according to technical requirements.

Current progress: 0%】

With the new task of the system institute, the system engineers immediately accepted the task. At the same time, Guo Shen looked at Lin Ju eagerly:

"Boss, the sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor is a very cutting-edge fission reactor technology in the world. I suggest that it is best to have a B+ level nuclear physicist to take the lead and three or more B-level nuclear physicists to assist. But with our strength There’s no way to recruit this kind of physicist.”

"Don't forget we have skill cards! Don't worry about money, money has to be spent to be effective.

Although we cannot recruit high-level physicists, we can find low-level ones. There are many such people in China, and then use money to change intelligence and use upgrade cards to create masters! "

Talent? Will there be a shortage of talents if you have an upgrade card?

Lin Ju holds the upgrade card, and even a college student in nuclear physics can get a B+!

As for funding? It’s enough for the wealthy people who have suffered a lot.

"But conducting nuclear research requires..."

"I'll take care of it."

After the successful launch of Xinyuan-2, the space agency boss has hinted that it is possible to open sensitive areas, and Lin Ju will naturally not let this opportunity pass by.

Thinking of the space agency, Lin Ju sighed again. Their family's big business needed to be adjusted. Ten days and a half months to make a decision was considered fast, and the cooperation efficiency was really low.

…

In 2015, going into space is no longer the sensation it was a few decades ago, but astronauts can still attract a lot of attention.

The trio and Lin Ju received countless interview invitations. Lin Ju declined all but the CCAV interview, while the trio didn't care. They could go wherever they wanted to make some extra money.

But most of them are actually commercial advertisement invitations. After all, astronaut endorsement advertisements are definitely influential. Those from the National Astronaut Corps cannot do that, but astronauts from commercial companies can always do it, right?

Of course, to accept commercial endorsements, the company must intervene, otherwise it will affect the reputation, which is a very bad thing.

After the mission, Commander Deng Lei, as a professional astronaut, will continue to perform subsequent flight missions. The rest of his life will probably be a cycle of training, flying, and rest.

And since he is the only professional astronaut in Xinyuan, he may have extremely rich flight experience.

Although there are still four pilots who will be trained to become professional astronauts who will change careers in more than a month, the astronaut brigade has managed to get them to the HD area in advance and conduct astronaut training before changing careers. This can be considered a good thing for Xinyuan of goodwill.

But even so, Lin Ju is still selecting astronauts, but no longer from pilots, but from engineers.

Now that the mission has come to an end, it is very reasonable to allocate a few of the many engineers in the company for training. The future space station and lunar base will all depend on them.

After all, if we want to comprehensively develop space, we must send professional and technical personnel there.

Zhou Rui and Zhao Xiaowen have different arrangements. They will remain in a preparatory form. Their lives will return to normal but they will train once a month and be ready to go to heaven at any time.

Zhao Xiaowen is younger and has been included in the research institute to upgrade his professional skills. Wouldn't it be beautiful to use both talents?

The Nanjing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is also planning to erect statues and models for the two men and Progress, completely turning itself into the cradle of the aerospace industry, but the former may be reluctant to tree sculptures of living people...

Regarding the release, this book will be on the shelves almost next Wednesday. In addition, due to your support, it is already ready to go to Sanjiang... Benpoujie promises that in the first month of release, daily updates will start with 10,000 words\\(￣︶￣*\\))
