Chapter 0276: Krypton Gold is Good!
Wang Dagou didn't know the news, and only the think tank and S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about it.
After Li Zitao couldn't figure out why he did this, he could only keep things in his heart first.
The person was sent out, as long as he disembarked in Huaguo, then he would definitely be able to touch it, and he would naturally know what was going on at that time.
After staying at home for another two days, the absent-minded Li Zitao packed up his mood and boarded a plane with his fiancée to Los Angeles.
After the Skunk's luxury airliner was built, he took Adelaid to receive it, and took a break by the way.
With Nikolai joining, the Skunk's team is getting bigger and bigger.
Under the mediation of Zhao Yaozhong, Skunk reached a cooperation agreement with the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley.
Zhao's teacher, Robert Andrew Milligan, was one of the world's most famous physicists.
Nobel laureate, chair of the Department of Physics at Caltech, and chairman of the Board of Trustees.
With his support, a large number of experimental physicists joined the Skunk R&D team.
He himself is also the head of an independent project, although he can't stay in the lab for a long time because of his busy schedule.
But with him personally in check, there were many detours in the experiment, and the reputation of the skunk was further enhanced.
In addition to this, Milligan also introduced Skunk to a big star in the field of aviation.
Von Kármán, after moving to the United States in 30 years, became the director of the Guggenheim Aerodynamics Laboratory in California, an authority on aerodynamics.
The wind tunnel of the California Laboratory was built under his auspices and guidance.
Moreover, he will be the first person to load a rocket booster onto a plane, and more importantly, he will have 3 students.
The two Qian Daniu and Guo Daniu are both students of this world-renowned scientist.
So, as soon as he saw each other at Caltech, Li Zitao enthusiastically grabbed the other party's hand and smiled like a weasel, which made people panic.
"How should I kidnap this big bull?" Li Zitao thought in his heart.
For this kind of world-renowned science bull, you can't simply take money, at least you have to meet the conditions for the other party to explore science.
Fortunately, scientific experiments are inseparable from money, and Li Zitao is very generous.
"Professor Carmen, I would like to invite you to lead and design the construction of the Skunk's wind tunnel, we can meet any need. ”
Li Zitao plans to come step by step, first let Feng Kármán participate in the daily life of the skunk, and after he gradually adapts to the environment here, he will naturally become his own person.
"Oh, does the skunk need a wind tunnel too?" von Kármán said in surprise.
"Yes, it's said that you've been working on supersonic drag, and I'd love to be able to help, like building a supersonic wind tunnel. ”
Li Zitao plans to build several wind tunnel laboratories, from low-speed wind tunnels to supersonic wind tunnels, but not all of them are in Skunk.
In the future, the air flow line in the automotive field also needs aerodynamic support and wind tunnel testing, and the conditions for pioneers should also be upgraded.
When it comes to supersonic speed, von Kármán is very interested.
He had many theories that needed to be tested, and these could not have been achieved without the help of the wind tunnel laboratory.
As for the construction of a supersonic wind tunnel laboratory, he agreed on the spot.
In fact, at Caltech, he made a request in this regard, but the college rejected him on the grounds of theoretical and technical immaturity.
He also told Li Zitao that if they want to build a qualified supersonic wind tunnel, they need to make repeated adjustments and tests, which will be very expensive.
But this is exactly what Li Zitao wants to hear, it is good to ask for krypton gold!
The more krypton gold, the greater the help von Kármán will receive in the future, the higher his achievements, and the more guilt and gratitude he will have.
Maybe one day without him opening his mouth, this great scientist will take the initiative to change jobs!
After meeting von Kármán and Robert Andrew Millegan at Caltech, Li Zitao said many times that if they had any needs, they could bring them up.
He doesn't know how to do research, but as long as he can provide financial support, he won't have any excuses.
The two professors who listened to these sincere words were both moved and emotional.
Eventually, after lunch in the school cafeteria, the two professors already regarded him as friends, and said that they would strengthen the cooperation between the college and Skunk in the future, and take more time to preside over the research and development of Skunk.
"You value them a lot. On the bus to Santa Barbara, Adellaide asked, feeling the importance of her fiancé.
"I value all people, simply put, they can create value, and nobly, they can change the whole world. Li Zitao smiled.
When the convoy arrived in Santa Barbara, Li Zitao was first stopped by the airport behind the experimental center.
"You built an airport?" The smooth asphalt pavement, the regular runway marked with white paint, and the terminal building being built, are not the airport.
"A small airport, to be precise, for convenience and experimentation. "It's rare that Howard Hughes isn't in the lab.
"Come and see your plane, it's beautiful. Hughes said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Hughes has been hooked on this aircraft since experiencing it, which has been named a 'luxury business jet', and traveling on it is definitely the most enjoyable trip in the world.
In the white hangar next to the runway, Li Zitao saw his Gulf Stream.
Ugly, ugly.
The bulky nose has a propeller in front and wide and heavy wings on both sides, which also houses two cylindrical engine propellers.
Judging from the standards of business jets that Li Zitao had seen on the Internet in his previous life, this thing was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
But considering the current age, compared to the planes I have been on before, it suddenly becomes pleasing to the eye.
The length is 17.2 meters, the height is 5.6 meters, the wingspan is 16.7 meters, and the sailing speed is 700 meters.
"We used an air-pressure hatch that opens into a ladder with a single touch. ”
"First of all, the flight attendant workshop, this is the cockpit, do you want to see it?" Li Zitao turned his head and walked into the cabin.
What's so nice about the cab, he can't read the messy buttons.
Pulling open the curtain that cut off the sight, Li Zitao's eyes lit up, and the beautiful and elegant peachwood-colored interior space came into view.
There are 3 clear glass windows on each side, and the 8 seats on each side are also mahogany leather, and I don't know what they are made of.
There is a small sofa in the back, coffee table, small desk.
There was a door behind it, and seeing that this Li Zitao was a little weak-hearted, he quickly turned his head and glanced around, and Adellaide was looking around with bright eyes.
"What's there?" and sure enough, I couldn't escape the question.
"The rest room allows us to have plenty of rest during the trip. Li Zitao opened the door very calmly, and a large round bed came into view.
"Oh?" said Adellaid, looking at him playfully, and walked in without saying a word.
