The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 23 – Simulation: High-efficiency heat exchanger

“Mr. Ma has only 30 minutes to discuss with you. After 30 minutes, Mr. Ma will go to Africa to meet with the heads of the two countries.” Teacher Ma’s assistant reminded.

“I know.” Dong Jiangbo met Teacher Ma, who was once the richest man in China. Although he has now gone to the board of directors of Alibaba, he is still the invisible master of this giant company.

Mr. Ma now focuses more on investment than business operations. When the aerospace industry changed, he keenly noticed Xingyao Space Technology Company and wanted to directly buy Xingyao Space Technology, but Dong Jiangbo refused.

“Mr. Ma, I’m seeing each other again, it’s a good time to meet.” Dong Jiangbo and Teacher Ma have already met, this is the second time.

Teacher Ma wears a Chinese-style dark coat, gray cotton trousers and cloth shoes. This is his favorite dress for hermits.

After the two shook hands, Teacher Ma glanced at the documents compiled by the assistant. He put his hands on his knees and said, “Mr. Dong, our conditions are already very favorable. All Huaxia, I bet, it’s impossible except Ali Baba. There are companies that have better conditions than we have given!”

Dong Jiangbo looked embarrassed and said: “It is absolutely impossible for the voting rights of Xingyao’s board of directors to be surrendered. You probably know the reasons for this.”

“Although you are willing to invest, the amount of investment has not reached my ideal amount, and we prefer to operate independently, limited to technical cooperation, rather than let Ari’s management enter Xingyao.”

Teacher Ma shook his head and said: “Your thoughts are too shallow. The joining of Ari is the best of both worlds. Our business capabilities, big data technology, and talent pool can make Xingyao go further.”

“As for the 10 billion investment you proposed, Ari is not without money, but you have to give me a reason to convince me.”

“Mr. Ma, Du Xingyu is my junior. As long as he can have this tens of billions of investment, he will serve as Xingyao’s super science and technology consultant to help develop rocket and spacecraft technology!” Dong Jiangbo said, “The future of commercial rockets is here. !”

“I know that kid is a very capable young man.” Teacher Ma smiled and said: “But this doesn’t convince me to put out 10 billion, rocket technology, you are too far behind…”

The discussions between Dong Jiangbo and Teacher Ma did not go smoothly. After all, Teacher Ma was only willing to invest one billion yuan, and other funds and investors were similar.

Dong Jiangbo went to meet several other domestic giant companies, such as Penguin and Huawei, but got similar responses.

They are willing to invest some money, if they want to spend 10 billion, these companies are not willing. The reason is simple. The current strength of Xingyao Rocket is too weak, and these big companies still don’t pay much attention to the commercial benefits brought by space exploration.

“Difficult!” When chatting with Du Xingyu’s prestige, Dong Jiangbo said with emotion, “I ran to many investment institutions. If I really want to count, I can get two or three billion investment, 10 billion, it’s a bit difficult.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Du Xingyu replied: “Brother, they underestimated the development speed of space technology. If they knew that humans would soon be able to enter space activities, they would not think so.”

Dong Jiangbo said helplessly: “It’s not that they don’t believe it, or that our Xingyao rocket is too weak. If we also have the strength of a space exploration technology company, I’m afraid these companies will rush to send money.”

Du Xingyu thought for a while and said, “Brother, you don’t have to worry too much. Now you can take advantage of this space boom and absorb more funds and recruit talents.”

“I think in another three months, I should be able to prove to them that the era of space exploration is coming!”

“??” Dong Jiangbo curiously asked, “Three months, what will happen in three months?”

“I can’t say this for the time being, it’s a secret mission.” Du Xingyu said, “Anyway, you’ll know in three months.”

“Good!” Although Dong Jiangbo was still full of doubts, he chose to believe in Du Xingyu. He said: “Then I will make arrangements and wait for the good news in three months from you!”

In the nuclear-powered rocket research group, Du Xingyu sat in the office. He put down his mobile phone and looked at the three-dimensional design drawings on the computer.

It has been two months since the nuclear-powered rocket project was established. In these two months, he has completed the reactor control, exhaust pollution and radiation protection problems by relying on scientific and technological simulators. The most important thing now is the nuclear-powered rocket thruster. the design of.

On the science and technology simulator, the design progress of the thruster has been completed 50%, and he estimated that there will be results this month.

More than half of the rocket body has been manufactured…

“Strive to complete the design of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster within half a month, and one month to manufacture and assemble…there is one month to debug.” Du Xingyu calculated in his heart.

Three months later, the space agency has a number of important satellites and probes to launch. Among them is the final work of the third phase of the China Lunar Exploration Project, the Chang’e-5 lunar probe.

Before the Chang’e-5 probe, the China Space Administration had already launched the Chang’e-1 to No. 4 probes, and each of these probes had advanced functions.

The Chang’e-5 probe, which has been commissioned and awaiting launch, is China’s first probe with the function of sampling on the surface of the moon and returning to the earth!

At the time of launch, it will definitely arouse public attention. If the nuclear-powered rocket can undertake the mission of launching the Chang’e-5 probe, the name of the nuclear-powered rocket will be known all over the world.

As long as the nuclear-powered rocket can be successfully manufactured to ensure safety, Du Xingyu is not worried that the test firing will not be approved. Because the China Space Administration is accustomed to “two-handed preparation” in manufacturing, probes such as Chang’e-5 are manufactured two at a time, and one is reserved for use.

For example, the Tianwen-1 Mars rover that was launched last time, and now there is a spare in the space agency, which is undergoing reconstruction and is ready to be launched as a second Mars rover.

Du Xingyu opened the science and technology simulator, invested 100,000 energy points, and began the simulation design of nuclear-powered rocket propulsion.

In his mind, he is creating a “high-efficiency heat exchanger”, which is a device to utilize nuclear energy.

The nuclear reactor under design is a nuclear fission reactor, which has a strong risk of radiation pollution. Once the heat energy cannot be controlled well, it may cause an explosion!

At that time, this nuclear-powered rocket will become a small nuclear bomb! So this step is crucial!

“Successful research and development!” As prompted by the technology simulator, the drawing of the high-efficiency heat exchanger was illuminated.

Du Xingyu took a look and continued: “Put in one hundred thousand points of energy and start the turbo pump component simulation!”

“I am simulating turbo pump components, please select the design scheme and related parts.” In front of Du Xingyu’s eyes, various scheme sketches and corresponding materials and parts styles appeared.
