Dragon Country Space Base.
In the main control room of the 'Zhuang Ba' launch vehicle project,
The huge room was dead silent. The moment the 'Zhuang Ba' carrier rocket disintegrated,
It was as if someone had given a heavy punch to the hearts of many of the Dragon Country's astronauts.
They were caught off guard and were in so much pain that they wanted to die!
At this moment, Wei Pengyu, who was in front of the main control computer, looked gloomy. He slowly took off his presbyopic glasses and rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand.
His eyes revealed a hint of exhaustion.
As the chief engineer of the 'Zhuang Eight' launch vehicle, Wei Pengyu had been elected as the chief engineer at the age of 30 since the 'Zhuang Eight' project was established decades ago.
Up until now, he had been fighting for the Dragon Country's aerospace industry, or rather, the 'Strong Eight' project, for almost his entire life!
From the initial theoretical framework, to the physical construction that began ten years ago, to the first launch of the 'Zhuang Ba' carrier rocket, this step by step process had stooped his body and dyed his black hair white.
Until today's failure, this old man had always contributed his glory to the aerospace industry.
After a while,
Wei Pengyu straightened his body abruptly. His disappointed expression was no longer there. His eyes flashed as he glanced at the dejected people in the main control room.
He picked up the microphone in front of him, and then a steady voice slowly came from his mouth.
"Comrades, cheer up! Our spines will not bend because of a little difficulty!”
"Next, I hope that all of you can quickly adjust your mentality and continue to devote yourself to your work. This setback will only add an unforgettable memory to our future victory!”
“...........”
As Wei Pengyu's voice continued to spread to the staff members involved in the 'Zhuang Ba' launch vehicle project, everyone wiped the tears in their eyes and continued to invest in the subsequent fault investigation.
The tears of astronauts would only flow on the day of success, for the joy of victory, not when they encountered setbacks!
............
Dragon Country.
The Research Department was still in the top-secret meeting room.
"Failed?"
The Minister of Science and Technology of the Dragon Country, Ji Chengtian, slammed his fist on the conference table and said unwillingly.
He had just received the news that the first flight experiment of the Dragon Country's aerospace 'Zhuang Ba' launch vehicle project had failed.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was also depressed. The big shots in the Ministry of Science and Technology stared at the conference table in front of them with inexplicable expressions. It was obvious that this failure had deeply touched their hearts.
"Old Li, have you found out the cause of the malfunction?”
After a moment of silence, Ji Chengtian turned to his assistant, Li Wei, and asked in a low voice.
"It is said that because the engine's driving force was insufficient, the rocket body left the first cosmic speed, causing the 'Zhuang Ba' carrier rocket to fall and then disintegrate!”
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, a few people in the conference room gritted their teeth.
"Engine again!"
All the big shots of the Ministry of Science and Technology present looked unwilling, and there was a hint of grievance in their unwillingness.
"Comrades, space engines and space thrusters have always been a thorn in our hearts! "When can we remove this thorn? Only then can our Dragon Country truly soar!”
Ji Chengtian looked around and said with some heartache,
Under the rapid development of the Dragon Country for decades, there were naturally more and more countries that viewed the Dragon Country as a thorn in their side.
Some were simply jealous of the development of the Dragon Country, while others did not want to see a powerful Dragon Country rise in the world at all!
Therefore, the technological blockade of the Dragon Country by other developed countries had not stopped. On the contrary, it was getting more and more intense.
The reason was that the rise of the Dragon Country made some countries that were good at conspiracy theories feel uneasy!
However, even so, the Dragon Country still walked out of the mud step by step and had now become a modern and powerful country!
However, some technological advancements still required time to settle down. Therefore, it was natural that aerospace engine technology could not be compared to those aerospace powers that had been researching for nearly half a century!
After Ji Chengtian finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze as if he had thought of something. Then, he said with a hint of pity.
"It's a pity that the controllable nuclear fusion fuel aerospace engine is still being developed. Otherwise, the 'Strong Eight' project might have been smoother!”
Although the Dragon Country was also a major aerospace country internationally, it started relatively late. Although the current comprehensive strength of aerospace was similar to other countries, in terms of aerospace engines, it had always been a shortcoming of the Dragon Country's aerospace industry.
In the past, due to the lack of driving force, the Dragon Country had always compensated for quality with quantity.
For example, when other aerospace powers could transport satellites or space stations into space, the Dragon Country often had to dismantle the satellites first, then transport them into space in batches, and finally assemble them in space.
Although this method was effective, not only did it cost a lot, but the waste of resources was also shocking.
Moreover, the future of aerospace was bound to be the development of large-scale aerospace thrusters that could be recycled.
This was also the reason why the Dragon Country was eager to independently develop an aerospace engine with sufficient propulsion power.
" If the chief engineer of the controllable nuclear fusion device was here, the research and development of the controllable nuclear fusion fuel-driven aerospace engine would have sped up a lot. Unfortunately, he chose to further his studies."
Li Wei's expression changed as he added.
" Don't disturb Lin Xingye for now. We're still thinking about Lin Xingye's reward. Let's wait until the engine is settled…" Ji Chengtian shook his head.
Of course, it was impossible for there to be no rewards at the national level. However, this was too important. They were also considering it carefully.
Although controllable nuclear fusion was very tempting, as the first person to develop controllable nuclear fusion devices, his understanding of it was obviously far beyond others.
However, Lin Xingye had gone to Dragon University of Science and Technology to further his studies. This was his personal wish and Ji Chengtian did not want to disturb him for the time being.
After all, it was very rare for a young man to be able to calm down after achieving something.
...............
Long Ke said,
The weather in Yan City had gradually turned cold, and the campus of Dragon University of Science and Technology was also filled with an inexplicable sense of desolation.
The day after Lin Xingye met Wu Shaoying, he began his own research on planetary engines.
At the teachers 'dormitory.
Lin Xingye looked at the densely packed fake plans and data on his tablet and nodded slightly in his heart. The time had come.
Lin Xingye grabbed a pure black coat and walked out of his apartment, heading towards the administration building of Dragon Science University.
After a while,
In the director's office.
Mu Tanqiu looked at Lin Xingye, who had come from afar, and was slightly surprised.
It seemed that Lil Tang had adapted well to the Dragon Science University. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to find me after so long. However, that was what she thought in her heart.
"Is there anything you're not satisfied with, Lil Tang?”
"No, um, how should I put it? I'm here today to apply for a laboratory for my future research!”
Lin Xingye pondered for a moment before finally informing Mu Tanqiu of his objective for today.
Mu Tanqiu's heart skipped a beat. He had been waiting for this day.
"It's here, it's here, it's finally here!"
With joy in his heart, he immediately smiled and said to Lin Xingye.
"Sure, I'll arrange for you to study in the best independent laboratory in Dragon Science University!”
"Thank you so much!"
Lin Xingye nodded slightly and smiled at Mu Tanqiu. Then, he left the director's office.
Mu Tanqiu looked at this unique young man as a hint of admiration appeared in her heart as she muttered to herself.
"He's clearly a young man, but he always exudes a calm temperament."
