Chapter 735

Inside the workshop of the liquid oxygen kerosene engine.

Gu Lu stepped in.

Inside the workshop.

The workers were all busy and didn't notice Gu Lu's arrival at all.

However, there was a middle-aged man in work clothes who greeted Gu Lu with a smile immediately after he came in.

This middle-aged man is the workshop director in charge of the liquid oxygen kerosene engine.

The director's surname is Nie.

Director Nie came to Gu Lu with a smile on his face, and said politely, "Professor Gu, have you come to inspect us again?"

For Gu Lu, who is obviously more than 20 years younger than himself, but his position is one level older than himself, Director Nie still remembers it vividly.

So when Gu Lu first came in, Director Nie recognized Gu Lu.

In the face of Director Nie's obviously polite words, of course Gu Lu couldn't go on, "I can't say anything about inspection, I'm just here to have a look." ”

Director Nie glanced behind Gu Lu and sighed lightly, "Hey, Xiao Zhang didn't come with Professor Gu today, so I'll ask you to take Professor Gu around with us again." ”

Gu Lu waved his hand and thanked Director Nie for his kindness, "Director Nie, don't bother others, I'll just go shopping alone." ”

Director Nie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the cubicle not far away, "Then I'll go back to work?"

"Hey, Director Nie, wait a minute. Gu Lu opened his mouth to stop Director Nie, and then asked, "I want to ask, where did the failed products of those liquid oxygen and kerosene engines you designed before go, I want to see." ”

Director Nie pointed in a direction, "Oh, have you seen that warehouse over there, we have piled up all the failed and defective products after research and development into that warehouse." ”

As he spoke, Director Nie took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Gu Lu.

"Professor Gu, this is the key to the warehouse, you take it. ”

Director Nie wasn't worried about Gu Lu doing things.

Because the warehouse is full of defective products and waste materials after research and development, it is basically worthless.

It can be said that it is equivalent to a pile of broken copper and iron.

As long as Gu Lu doesn't take them out and sell them, he can toss them as much as he wants.

Director Nie doesn't care very much.

…………

Director Nie went back to his cubicle and continued his work.

And Gu Lu took the key to the front of the abandoned warehouse.

Open the door.

The scene inside the warehouse was presented in front of Gu Lu.

The warehouse is huge.

It is almost 1,000 square meters.

And now, in this 1,000-square-meter area, almost half of the area is lined with liquid oxygen and kerosene engine failures.

Roughly count.

There are about four or five hundred units.

And the cost of a liquid oxygen kerosene engine is at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

No wonder some people say that rockets burn not fuel, but money!

That's true.

In three years, hundreds of engines were scrapped.

However, the success of the development of a new liquid oxygen kerosene engine is still far away.

If it weren't for the support of Huaguo's heritage, which invests hundreds of millions of scientific research funds every year at any cost, this project would have been yellow a long time ago.

Meantime.

This also proves one thing.

That is, the development of launch vehicles is only the patent of the superpowers.

For small countries in general.

There simply isn't that much money to invest in this far-fetched project.

…………

Inside the scrap warehouse.

Gu Lu walked around the warehouse of Nuoda, and then found all the parts and materials he needed and stacked them at the door.

Gu Lu has been busy with this work all morning.

After all.

A liquid oxygen kerosene engine is simply too big.

Even if Gu Lu only needed a certain part of it, it still had a mass of tens of kilograms.

One morning down.

Gu Lu was panting tiredly.

But fortunately.

The parts and materials required by Gu Lu are complete.

Get out of the warehouse.

Gu Lu beckoned a forklift worker to help and asked him to use the forklift to transport these parts of the device to the workshop.

Then Gu Lu found an idle station in a corner of the liquid oxygen and kerosene engine workshop and unloaded all the parts and materials.

Because Director Bi had greeted the employees inside the base in advance.

So no one refused Gu Lu's small request, and everything went smoothly.

"Professor Gu, is there anything else you need our help with?" said a dark-skinned worker with a mouthful of white teeth at Gu Lu.

Gu Lu thought for a few seconds, "Please help me get a set of cutting machines, electric welding machines, and hydraulic thrust systems, and bring me some gadgets like screwdrivers." ”

These things that Gu Lu wants are very common in the workshop.

The worker quickly put together a set of Gu Lu.

Afterwards.

Gu Luyou went to Director Nie's office and asked for dozens of catties of liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel.

So far.

Gu Lu's preliminary preparations have been completed.

The materials and equipment are all available.

Next.

It's officially started.

…………

Afternoon.

After a simple lunch, Gu Lu changed into ordinary work clothes, put on a hard hat, and came to the corner of the workshop.

Gu Lu first took out a stack of drawings from his arms.

These drawings.

It is the structural scheme of several sets of liquid oxygen kerosene engines designed by Gu Lu yesterday.

But this is just an idea.

Whether it is really suitable or not.

You still need to really get started and try it.

That's why Gu Lu came here today.

Gu Lu didn't just take the machine and start working as soon as he came up.

Such reckless behavior Gu Lu has never been admired.

Before actually starting to build a liquid oxygen kerosene engine, Gu Lu first had to make sure that the design scheme was reasonable.

This required Gu Lu to make a very small engine model.

It's a complicated process.

But......

Gu Lu is patient.

took out a steel plate, Gu Lu drew the lines with a marker, and cut it on the cutting machine.

…………

At the same time.

Director Bi's office.

The assistant then reported to Director Bi about Gu Lu's recent movements.

"You mean, after walking around the base for a week, Professor Gu didn't leave the liquid oxygen kerosene engine workshop?" Director Bi said with a slightly surprised look on his face.

The assistant nodded, "Director, that's right, not only that, I heard from the staff in the workshop over there that Professor Gu also found a station in the workshop, pulled a bunch of waste materials from the abandoned warehouse, and was busy every day." ”

Director Bi was stunned for a moment, "What is he busy with?"

The assistant shook his head, "It's not very clear, it looks like it's building an engine, but it doesn't look like it's because it's too small." ”

Director Bi understood something and said, "He should be a model for building an engine to verify the rationality of the structure, but I didn't expect that this Professor Gu doesn't seem to be so useless!"

"However, then again......" Director Bi just praised Gu Lu, and then changed his words.
