Gao Yuan followed Song Yuewen into a showroom-like room, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, with a circular platform in the center and a set of spacesuits prominently placed on the platform.

"On October 15, 2019, NASA officially announced the second-generation moon landing spacesuit, codenamed XEMU, who would have thought that there would be a full 50 years between the two generations of spacesuits."

"Such a heavy back design is a bit similar to ZEMU, I'm afraid it's an outer space survival version of the spacesuit prepared for the moon landing program, right?" Gao Yuan looked at the spacesuit's eyes and said excitedly.

There are also many types of spacesuits, worn for activities in the cabin, worn for spacewalks, and worn for lunar landing, I heard that North America is developing rapidly, and it is almost finalized for the Martian spacesuit, and the spacesuit with the development code name X2 will reach an astonishing durability of 10,000 hours.

You must know that the durability requirement for the moon landing spacesuit is only 1,000 hours, which shows the technology and ambition of North America.

Song Yuewen was stunned and said in surprise: "Boss Gao still pays attention to the aerospace field? ”

Gao Yuan bowed his head lightly and said: "Of course, after all, the sea of stars is the ultimate dream of men, and I have a feeling that the final battle between us and North America may be launched in outer space." ”

"Just like the battle for supremacy between North America and the former Soviet Union, space technology is standard for all the great powers, and now we are still racing on the ground, but one day, the track will switch to a wider universe."

"Elon Musk's Starlink, human brain interface, Dragon spacecraft, and NASA's six major Mars technologies have all surfaced in recent years, which may be the prelude to the restart of the Star Wars program."

Song Yuewen nodded again and again, "In recent years, North America has accelerated wildly, which has indeed brought us unprecedented pressure, and the competition has become more and more intense, and people in the aerospace circle are speculating that once the time is ripe, North America is likely to really restart the Star Wars program, and we have to prepare in advance." ”

"I didn't expect that we still have a common language, I heard Han Chang introduce it before, I thought you only focused on the field of materials science."

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "I'm also a senior science and technology fan, basically all the current cutting-edge scientific research projects, I have paid attention, but the focus is on the material." ”

Song Yuewen looked very excited and said: "It is really a blessing for the country to have someone like Boss Gao who focuses on the field of basic scientific research. Already causing a huge sensation in the space sector! ”

Song Yuewen said with a smile on his eyebrows, it turned out that a large number of X-series fibers were used on this spacesuit.

As we all know, X2 fiber has a strong ability to keep warm, suitable for fighting low temperatures in space, X1 type is quick-drying and breathable, and can be used as the first choice for astronauts' underwear, X3 type has amazing elasticity, which can improve the angle of movement of the spacesuit and increase flexibility, and X4 type can seamlessly integrate rubber, which is an important sealing material for spacesuits and even spacecraft.

Song Yuewen led Gao Yuan to other laboratories and saw seats made of X fiber, space bedding, space capsule insulation interlayer and so on.

Compared with traditional materials, the X series has better performance and lighter weight, which is very important, after all, the weight of each launch is limited, and it has reached the point where every minute counts, even if the mass is reduced by a few hundred grams, it also has a decisive impact on the initial velocity of the rocket, the attitude of entering orbit, and the return recovery.

"Let's get to know, this is the high boss of Kunlun Company! The inventor of X fiber, and the editor-in-chief of Kunlun Ask! Everywhere he went, Song Yuewen loudly introduced Gao Yuan to his colleagues.

"Boss Gao is lucky!"

"You are a thunderous celebrity in the tech circle now, can you help me sign it?"

"No, we love X-Fiber! Kunlun company is awesome, and boss Gao is awesome! ”

Colleagues applauded and praised the performance of the X series fiber, saying that it was the greatest invention in the field of materials science in the past hundred years, and some people even asked Gao Yuan for an autograph.

He only knew for the first time that his products had been widely used in the aerospace sector and had become the main basic materials in major aerospace programs, and they were about to enter space in an all-round way!

Of course, some research departments that were not very convenient for Gao Yuan to enter were actively ignored by Song Yuewen, and Gao Yuan walked past the doors of these laboratories and pretended not to see them.

In general, during this visit to the Aerospace Group, Gao Yuan felt enthusiasm and sincerity, and the researchers enthusiastically watched, while Song Yuewen basically showed everything that Gao Yuan could see.

At noon, they had a working meal together in the cafeteria of the aerospace department, and Gao Yuan finally met one of the bigwigs of the aerospace department, Su Jiuzhou.

"I was on a conference call all morning, and I apologize for not being able to receive Boss Gao and his party in person." Su Jiuzhou said very politely.

They sat down at a round table in the corner, and Song Yuewen smiled and brought the lunch of the three of them to the plateau.

The food is all vacuum-packed, and in addition to knives, forks and spoons, stainless steel scissors, vegetable soup and after-meal juice are also packed in plastic bags, which are very similar to the infusion bags in the hospital.

"The latest version of the space package, you can try it, welcome to give more valuable comments." Song Yuewen said with a smile.

This...

Gao Yuan looked at the two green rice balls in his hand in a daze, this thing is a bit like glutinous rice green balls, but the color always feels wrong, anyway, it makes people lose their appetite.

In addition, there is also vacuum-packed smoked fish, which may be too much soy sauce and is black and large.

Cream-filled biscuits, a bit the texture...

After tasting it, Gao Yuan, Cao Feiyu, and Han Chang agreed that the best food in the space package is vitamin gummies, sweet and sour, very appetizing, like ripe bayberry, as for the rest, don't mention it.

Su Jiuzhou said with a smile: "Space food focuses on balanced nutrition and absolute safety within the shelf life, so I have to make some compromises in terms of taste." ”

The truth is clear to Gao Yuan and others, but it is really a bit disgusting to think of the long journey to space and having to eat these things the whole time.

After lunch, Takahara was invited to Su Jiuzhou's office.

Su Jiuzhou personally made tea, and after everyone greeted him a little, he told the truth openly, due to the particularity of the aerospace department, he did not greet the plateau before, and directly put the X fiber into the research project.

Now with the smooth progress in all aspects, the aerospace department is ready to set Kunlun Company as one of the main suppliers, so it is time to talk about cooperation.

Gao Yuan and Cao Feiyu quietly glanced at each other, both with a bit of anticipation and excitement.

A private enterprise that makes fiber products has become the main supplier of the aerospace sector, and even the spacesuit has to use X series fabrics.

Su Jiuzhou said very frankly: "This is the current situation, your company's X series fibers are very important to us, as for the conditions of cooperation, we can talk about it." ”

Money?

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, he has passed the most difficult period at the beginning of his business, Kunlun is currently one of the world's most powerful suppliers of chemical fiber products, and he is not short of money now.

His brain was racing fast, and after thinking carefully, Gao Yuan said, "Since this is the case, then I will make two requests." ”

Su Jiuzhou bowed slightly, listening with interest.

Gao Yuan said: "First of all, I hope to get a promise from you, the future scientific research masterpieces of the Aerospace Group, under the same conditions, will be given priority to Kunlun Wendao." ”

Su Jiuzhou said with a smile: "I can promise you now, not to mention anything else, in the field of materials science alone, Kunlun has been able to rank among the top in the world, it is not easy for our country to have the top journal of scientific research, this is the lifelong wish of many researchers, we will definitely fully support it!" ”

Gao Yuan thanked Su Jiuzhou, and then said: "The second condition, I hope that the aerospace group can work with us to set up a joint laboratory to carry out research on space fiber technology. ”

The second condition of the plateau is quite a bit of a chicken thief, and if the brand of the aerospace group is hung up in the test center of Kunlun Company, it will definitely be an explosive news, which will give the company a long face.

Moreover, after the sign of the joint laboratory is hung up, the aerospace group will always send people to station, and the plateau is not short of money now, but what is lacking is people, especially top scientific research talents, who are simply thirsty for talent.

Su Jiuzhou pondered, this matter is actually beneficial to himself, the aerospace group should use a large number of Kunlun company's fiber materials, if you can participate in the research and development stage, it is easier to meet your own special needs.

"Then let's make a decision!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiuzhou stood up and shook hands with Gao Yuan.

Considering his vital interests, Su Jiuzhou knew that Gao Yuan was asking for someone from him, so he still agreed, after all, in this situation, helping Kunlun Company to engage in research and development is equivalent to helping himself.
