Chapter 817: Rocket, Rocket!
Today, he skipped work and stayed at home pretending to be sick, not facing Principal Gregorian who was blocking the door of his office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He poured two cups of coffee for Han Xuan and Elon Musk, sat down with the cups himself, stretched out his hand and introduced to Han Xuan: "This is a doctoral student at Stanford University, Elon Musk.
I met him once two years ago when the Wharton School came to communicate, and I believe you should have a lot of common topics. ā
Han Xuan has now robbed Musk's PayPal, with a smile in his eyes, pretending not to know him, shook hands with Musk, and asked: "Hello, this time I came to Brown University, is it also for communication?"
"No, no, I'm here for you today.
This is a gift I made with my own hands from a piece of rocket wreckage, I hope you enjoy it.
It took me a long time to ask my uncle, who worked in the steel mill, to help me melt it down and make it into its current form. ā
Elon Musk handed him the prepared model of the rocket.
Han Xuan had already seen this strange gift, and then it was easy to guess Musk's intention to come to him, and the smile on his face became more obvious, and he said: "Thank you, I like this, it's cool."
I'm sorry to ask, what are you doing with me, we don't seem to have met, have we?"
A scholar and genius like Elon Musk must also be a freak in the eyes of his classmates, keeping him independent from the communication circle.
In addition, his parents divorced when he was a child, and he just left school not long ago, so he is not good at socializing.
Even though Musk has repeated his idea many times to those rich people, he is still a little embarrassed to face Han Xuan now.
Hearing Han Xuan's inquiry, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Han, I came this time to do a business with you.
I think you'll be interested in it, and the business I'm going to talk about is this one you have in your hand, Rocket!
We're working together to build rockets that can actually fly into space!"
If you go to Huaxia on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and say this, others will definitely think that your brain is broken.
Rockets should be invented and made by the state, how can a person be involved in such an important industry?
In the United States, most of the important military industries, including missiles, fighter jets, satellites, rockets, and tanks, are developed and manufactured by private companies such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, and the US Department of Defense purchases them from them, so it is not a strange thing to be out of the ordinary.
Principal Gregoryan, who was sitting next to him, had a surprised expression, but he was not too shocked.
The space shuttle Atlantis, which will be launched on June 27 this year, will dock with Russia's Mir orbital space station for the first time, and Brown University is also involved in the project.
Some of the engineering equipment on the space shuttle Atlantis was done by students and faculty at Brown University, who knew something about the project.
Curious, he asked, "It takes a lot of technology to build a rocket, are you sure you can do it?"
It's been a good time, Elon.
What company do you work for now? Lockheed Martin? General Dynamics?
āā¦ā¦ Neither. ā
Elon Musk is extremely embarrassed, can he say that he only has a heart that wants to build a rocket and send it into space?
No stupid person would do that.
He used the trick of deceiving other rich people to Han Xuan: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are thousands of experts specializing in aerospace in countries such as Russia and Ukraine, and there are no employment opportunities until now.
We can poach those people and work for our company to recreate a new rocket.
For now, it is Russia, not the United States, that has the highest level of rocket engine technology.
According to the information I recently checked, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were still a number of rocket engines, such as the NK-33 and NK-34 rocket engines of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau in Russia.
There are more than eighty engines in good condition, and although they are all old from more than ten years ago, they are more advanced than today's rocket engines!
The RD-180 rocket engine developed by the Power Machinery Research Joint Production Body has not yet been fully designed, but I heard that it will be possible to complete the research and development with an investment of about 100 million US dollars, which is a good opportunity to participate, and we can cooperate with Russia.
The NK-33 and NK-43 engines, which use liquid oxygen and kerosene, will not pollute the environment and are currently the most ideal launch vehicle propulsion system.
If we can find a way to reuse it, since this engine does not need to be repaired and can be reused four or five times, it will greatly reduce the huge cost of launching a rocket.
Those governments and private individuals who want to launch satellites will definitely give us a lot of orders!
Regarding the creation of rockets, we can go to Ukraine to poach experts from the Southern Missile Design Bureau, when Khrushchev bragged that making missiles is as simple as processing sausages, and it is because of this Southern Missile Design Bureau.
Their rocket-building technology is among the best in the world, and you already have Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines, which has pretty good medium-thrust engines.
If you have the technology of high-thrust engine manufacturing, you have the opportunity to monopolize the entire aerospace engine market, and you should be able to imagine how big its market size is, right?
This will bring you endless money to spend!
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited about 70% of the Soviet Union's strength, and Ukraine inherited 30% of its industrial heritage, although it is not much, but it is extremely crucial, especially in the missile and aerospace industries.
Now basically everything can be sold there, and even nuclear weapons were lost in previous years, and if we find a way to poach people in Russia and Ukraine, we have a good chance of making rockets.
Even if you have people and technology, maybe in the future, Russia and the United States will have to buy rockets from you to launch their satellites into the sky!"
I have to say that Elon Musk's words have the power to deceive people, thinking about it according to his train of thought, Han Xuan immediately laughed.
He doesn't care about money now, anyway, according to the current scale of the industry, in another ten or twenty years, no one will have any money for him.
The most important thing is interest, and he is quite interested in rockets right now.
Regardless of the image, he took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and asked Musk: "With only information and technology, it is very troublesome to really produce it."
The most important thing is talent, and going to Russia and Ukraine to poach people is not as easy as you think, which requires countless funds.
But it's not that it can't be done, and the problems that money can solve are not problems for me.
This idea of yours is very interesting, to conquer the sea of stars, a little exciting......" (To be continued.) )
