Early the next morning, Chen Xin left the villa with Qiao Ting and headed for Mogadishu Airport.

The current Mogadishu airport is not only the largest air base in Somalia and the largest high-tech processing center under the War Crisis Bureau, but also temporarily serves as a civil air port in Somalia.

However, this is not a big problem, anyway, only Chinese flights are really allowed to enter Somalia now, and Air China is responsible for operating two flights a week, which can fully meet the entry and exit needs of Chinese.

However, for future development, the Somali government has built a new civilian airport south of Mogadishu.

The security of the base is still tight, in addition to the air force maintenance support brigade stationed inside, there is also a mechanized infantry regiment that has just been reequipped nearby to guard the security of the base.

Chen Xin drove the off-road vehicle into the base, and there were constant sentry posts all the way, and it took about ten minutes before they came to a newly completed building.

The building is located at the end of the runway, opposite the airport terminal and control tower.

On its left is the hangar of the Dream Aerospace Aircraft, guarded by the aircraft, and on the right is also a large building that resembles a factory building, where large 3D laser printers, high-precision cutting lathes, lithography machines, packaging lines and other precision equipment are being installed.

Chen Xin took Qiao Ting into the building, and there was already no room in the building; The few people in white uniforms were busy carrying all kinds of equipment, and the chest of the system was the symbol of the solar system, and they were all staff members that Chen Xin had transferred from Transwarp China.

Chen Xin and Qiao Ting came to the conference room on the sixth floor, where a white man and a yellow man had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as she entered the door, Qiao Ting was stunned for a moment, and shouted in surprise to the yellow man: "Senior Brother Wu, why are you here?"

Senior Brother Wu's real name is Wu Gang, and he is only in his forties and has already been an academician of the two academies. He has made great achievements in the fields of human-computer interaction, thinking and sensing machines.

The reason why Qiao Ting called him senior brother was because Wu Gang studied under Qiao Lao, who was a doctor under Qiao Ting's grandfather.

Wu Gang obviously didn't have the slightest surprise at Qiao Ting's appearance, helped his glasses, and said slightly: "Xiao Qiao, you are here." Qiao Lao also said before that let me bring you a message, asking when you will bring your boyfriend back. ”

Qiao Tingqiao's face turned red, she glanced at Chen Xin, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, just you laugh at me, be careful that I sue my sister-in-law." ”

Wu Gang looked at Chen Xin with a smile and said, "Not bad, yes, talented and beautiful!"

Chen Xingan smiled: "Senior Brother Wu, I didn't expect you and Xiao Qiao to know, so I won't introduce much." Joe. This is Mr. Vickers, the general manager of Transwarp Group. ”

Chen Xin pointed to the white man next to Wu Gang.

"Hello Mr. Vickers!"

Qiao Ting had a smile on her face, stepped forward and shook Wickers' hand, of course Vickers didn't dare to slack off on the future boss, and said with a smile on her face: "Miss Qiao, hello!"

Now Wix not only controls a large company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, but also deals with senior government leaders all year round, and has gradually gained the bearing of a superior, but in front of Qiao Ting. But still maintain a trace of humility.

He came to Mogadishu this time, in addition to escorting supplies sent from the Longshou Mountain underground base. On the other hand, he was responsible for the formation of the joint office between China and the war situation.

When Chen Xin held talks with other countries before, he had already said that he would set up a joint scientific research institute.

At present, although this scientific research institution has not yet been written, the first scientific research project in cooperation with China has already entered the implementation stage.

This is the individual combat armor project that all countries are investing heavily in the research and development.

The appearance of the "Little Butterfly" armor is undoubtedly a great stimulus for various countries.

After all, this kind of armor poses a serious threat to the personal safety of heads of state, and it is too rebellious.

However, it has also succeeded in piquing the interest of various countries. Basically, countries with a slight industrial base are investing heavily in the development of future individual combat armor.

At the moment, the most advanced is undoubtedly the light tactical armor of the United States, but this armor, in addition to its high cost, has a number of drawbacks. The big question is how to provide enough power for this armor.

The individual tactical armor equipped by the 51st District Guard Force of the United States can only last half a day in high-intensity combat, which is why the United States has not promoted it in special forces.

And the emergence of the Golden Dragon battery undoubtedly solves this problem.

The code name of the Chinese individual tactical armor is "Xingtian", and the person in charge of the project is Wu Gang.

Qiao Ting had long been envious of Chen Xin's "Little Butterfly" armor, but now that she learned the specific content of this project, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she agreed with a smile.

Then, the four of them chatted for a while in the conference room on the topic of research group construction, and Chen Xin handed over the rough draft of the tactical armor designed by the steel hammer to Wu Gang for future reference.

At this moment, Chen Xin's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Chen Xin was slightly stunned, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was actually the Great Elder calling.

In order to facilitate communication with each other, Chen Xin has opened a hotline with Chinese and Russian leaders, and he can call and connect at any time as long as he feels necessary.

Chen Xin was a little strange, what did the Great Elder do when he called at this time.

He made an apologetic gesture to Wu Gang and the others, left the conference room, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Great Elder, hello, it's me, Chen Xin!"

The Grand Elder said a few words on the other end of the phone.

"What?!"

Chen Xin's face immediately changed.

"Okay, Great Elder, you first arrange for him to come on the Chinese plane, and I will communicate with President Medvedev immediately, and the Russian representative should also be present at that time. Well, okay, keep in touch, that's it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, then dialed the hotline of the Russian president, and the two sides exchanged a few words, and then hung up again.

Chen Xin returned to the conference room and beckoned to Qiao Ting, who came out of the conference room and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xindao: "The new US Secretary of Defense John Kerry is coming to Mogadishu. I'm going to make some preparations, I'll leave it to you here, I won't go home for dinner tonight, you tell Weiwei and Xiaoyue not to wait!"

Qiao Ting nodded obediently and said, "Well, be careful!"

Chen Xin said hello to Wu Gang and Vickers again, and then left the building. Head to the hangar on the left.

The Dreamy space plane is quietly moored in a hangar, next to a pile of various materials.

As if discovering Chen Xin's arrival, emerged from the side of the Dream and said, "Old Bean, you're here!"

During this time, the steel hammer has been nesting in the hangar, modifying the "Dream" aerospace aircraft.

Now that he has decided to land on the moon, Chen Xin will certainly not meet the needs of the "Dream" only to meet the needs of the moon landing, and he wants to modify the "Dream" into an interplanetary spacecraft that can fly freely and land freely in the solar system.

Among them, the soft landing system is the top priority.

In the past, when Dream was a low-Earth orbiter, it was both takeoff and landing. All with the help of wing lift.

But the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, and a planet with a thin atmosphere like Mars is also not suitable for a Dream landing, so the engine for a soft landing has become a top priority.

But this also poses another problem.

Now Dream is using a solid hydrogen-oxygen fuel engine, and it is true that it has enough thrust, but in spaceflight, how to get fuel is the biggest problem.

Once the soft landing engine is installed. There may not be enough fuel for the main engine, and if the fuel tank is expanded. That means that the mass of the vehicle itself increases, so the thrust of the soft landing engine also needs to increase, and the fuel consumption will also increase.

It's like a dead knot that can't be untied by the chemical-fueled engine currently used by the Dream alone.

So the steel hammer thought of electric propulsion.

The electric propulsion mentioned here is not quite the same as the electric propulsion engine currently used by countries on satellites.

At present, the major space countries are using ion electric propulsion devices, which also need to consume fuel. It's just that this fuel consumption is much less than that of chemical fuels.

However, the electric propulsion device proposed by the steel hammer is a non-working fluid engine with a bit of science fiction color.

The principle of this engine is very simple, its main body is a trapezoidal resonator, when the engine starts to work, the engine will emit a beam of high-energy microwaves, this beam of high-energy microwaves in the trapezoidal resonator back and forth. Soon an electric potential difference is formed, and it is on this potential difference that the engine relies on to generate thrust.

When explained the principle of this engine to Chen Xin, Chen Xin was almost stupid.

Later, he learned that the principle of this engine was not made up out of thin air, and that the Western University of Technology in China had designed a similar device for demonstration, and related papers could even be found on the Internet. (If you are interested in children's shoes, you can search for a non-working fluid engine on the Internet, NASA has also proposed a non-working fluid engine, but the other party uses the positive and negative particle pairs that appear in the energy fluctuation in the vacuum, extracts these positive and negative particle pairs, and then uses the ion engine mentioned before, accelerates with an electric field, and sprays out, which can provide thrust, which is essentially no different from light pressure propulsion.) As for the design of Western University of Technology, it is the product of brainstorming, and whether it can be realized will not be discussed in this book)

However, compared with the gadgets in the real yàn room with a thrust of only a few hundred milli N , the products made of steel hammer are much more high-end, with a single thrust reaching an incredible 7,800 N and two packages can provide 30,000 N of thrust for the "Dream".

Such thrust obviously cannot meet the requirements of the Dream, which weighs more than two hundred tons, to take off from the ground, but in space, it can accelerate the Dream to one hundredth of the speed of light in about a year.

Therefore, in addition to the installation of non-working fluid engines, the soft landing system of the Dream still consists of solid hydrogen and oxygen fuel engines.

According to the steel hammer estimate, the fuel it carries inside is enough for it to take off and land vertically on the moon dozens of times, which can fully meet Chen Xin's needs. (To be continued......) R1292
