The audience erupted in extremely warm applause, and everyone was stunned by Luo Jia's space elevator plan, compared to the powerful space elevator, rocket, space shuttle, satellite network, these seemingly unattainable space technology, it is simply weak!

Mankind has proven itself as early as 1969 that it is capable of going to space, but why is space still an unattainable dream of mankind to this day?

The reason is very simple, because the cost of going to space once is too expensive!

Throwing tens of billions of dollars, just to listen to it and show off in front of the compatriots on the earth, this kind of face project Luo Jia will not do.

He proposed the space elevator plan in order to make the space industry into a set of industries, and use the profits generated by space development to support the long road of the sea of stars.

The scientists of the brainstorming group cheered, Luo Jia's plan is obviously not to compete with North America for the limelight, but is really prepared for the development of the universe, once successful, it will continue to bring surprises and blessings to the human beings on the earth for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future.

Not surprisingly, the space elevator plan was unanimously approved by the brainstorming team, and received unprecedented support.

Everyone was full of praise for this plan, and the straight men were almost crazy with excitement, and in order to be able to realize the dream of the sea of stars in their lifetime, they immediately began a long and hectic preparation.

……

Shanghai, less than 30 minutes' drive from the Baoshan headquarters of Xingchen Technology, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Group.

After Luo Jia and Li Moran got out of the car, they were personally greeted by Du Liangyu, chief engineer of COMAC, and Li He, president of COMAC.

"How? Are we still used to the new version of our CFD software? Li Moran asked with a smile.

Xingchen Technology is the largest software supplier of COMAC Group, from computational fluid dynamics to three-dimensional industrial design, COMAC uses domestic software, and the former chief software supplier of Dassault Group of France, has long been swept into the garbage heap of history, it has been proved that the arrogant and lazy French compared with Xingchen Technology, there is no combat effectiveness at all.

"Habitual use, habitual use." Du Liangyu hurriedly said: "This revision has added a lot of practical functions, especially the third generation of artificial intelligence, which has helped us a lot to improve efficiency." ”

They chatted all the way to the No. 3 workshop, only to see a brand new seven-axis linkage robotic arm arranged in turn, forming a fully automatic production line.

Seven-axis linkage large-scale machining center and seven-axis linkage robotic arm are all new products just launched by Xingchen Technology, so far, the layout of Xingchen Technology in the field of high-precision industrial machine tools has basically been completed.

Out of the importance of the aviation industry, COMAC was the first company to be approved to purchase machine tools.

Yes, the machine tools and robotic arms produced by Xingchen Technology are not bought with money, especially the robotic arm, because it has a strong mechanical replacement for manual attributes, once the factory invests a large number of robotic arms, the production line workers are unemployed every minute, so they are strictly restricted from selling, in order to keep enough jobs for the general public.

COMAC's engineers are full of praise for Xingchen Technology's machine tools and robotic arms, because of the use of ultrasonic geared motors as the main drive, the efficiency and accuracy of Xingchen machine tools have set historical records, not to mention the use of next-generation top materials such as carbon fiber and graphene in the manufacturing process.

"The mechanical department has included the electric propulsion aero engine in the plan, and you must also prepare early, the fuel era will pass, and electric propulsion is the future, so let's build a joint laboratory, in addition to jointly developing the key technologies required for electric propulsion aircraft, more importantly, we can also work together to develop standards." After looking at the production line, Luo Jia looked for an opportunity to reveal the news to Li He.

Commercial Aviation is a company like a national team wearing a vest, it is not impossible to bypass them alone, but it is not necessary, Xingchen Technology is now so large that it is inevitable to be inextricably linked with the national team.

Swish~

Listening to Luo Jia's words, Li He and Du Liangyu were all stunned, they never thought that Xingchen Technology would kill in the field of aero engines?

So far, COMAC's plan is still to gather global suppliers to build Wanguo brand large aircraft, except for the software mainly from Xingchen Technology, the rest of the major suppliers are mainly foreign companies.

Behind this is not that COMAC is unwilling to increase the localization rate, after the painful lessons of the trade war, COMAC simply dreamed of a purely domestic large aircraft, but unfortunately the domestic aviation industry is far from the world's top gap, and it is really impossible to find a qualified alternative.

Xingchen Technology has the strength to do import substitution projects, but Xingchen Technology does not seem to have the will to make efforts in the aviation field, and in the past two years, they have been making a fuss about semiconductors.

"Mr. Luo, you're not kidding, are you?" Li He asked with wide eyes.

Luo Jia smiled, "This kind of thing, how can we joke, isn't the semiconductor project over, it just happens that the other side of the Pacific Ocean is aggressive and wants to have a space race with us." ”

"Come and don't be rude, people have hit the doorstep, we have no reason to be a turtle with a shrunken head, aviation and aerospace are one, aviation is like walking, aerospace is like running, if you want to learn to run, you must first be able to walk, so from now on, we must increase investment in the aviation field, I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

After listening to Luo Jia's explanation, Du Liangyu and Li He showed a look of surprise on their faces, and then turned a little worried.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Musk and Luo Jia have been fighting in space, and they have not been at ease from beginning to end, North America has engaged in a space race with the former Soviet Union, and the foundation is too high, and if Xingchen Technology also joins the space race, I am afraid that it will not be enough to smash all the money earned in the past few years.

"Don't worry about money." Luo Jia said: "The four major banks in China have promised to fully support us in the development of the aerospace industry, but the real difficulty is the lack of talent and experience, which has brought us a lot of trouble." ”

Du Liangyu said: "Since the four major banks have already promised, then we don't have much to say, I don't know if there is anything we can help in terms of talents?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll have a hard time helping." Luo Jia said helplessly: "One of the main reasons why Xingchen Technology can expand rapidly is that a large number of scientists who have returned from studying abroad, including An Ran and Cao Yuan, have come back from abroad. ”

"But aerospace is different, it is a professional field that is strictly controlled by the West, not to mention Chinese students, even if they are born and raised Chinese, it is difficult to enter the core department of NASA."

"There are naturally difficulties, but don't worry too much, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, we have in addition to the human resources department, there is also the life science department, at the critical moment, the life science department can also be used as a hole card for us."

Du Liangyu was puzzled, he didn't understand what such a thing as digging up the wall had to do with the Department of Life Sciences?

However, after thinking about it, Du Liangyu showed an expression of sudden realization.

After all, scientists are human beings and are afraid of death.

……

The 6th arrondissement of Paris, next to the old residential buildings of the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Dr. Pierre welcomed a special guest in his home on the fourth floor.

Her name is Yuan Yuan, a short Chinese woman with long black hair, who claims to be a personnel consultant at Xingchen Technology, and speaks French with a slight southern accent.

"I graduated from the University of Marseille with a degree in law." Yuan Yuan took the coffee and politely explained the origin of her southern French accent.

Before joining the European Space Agency, Dr. Pierre was the chief scientist of the Provence Observatory in Marseille, and Yuan Yuan was an alumnus.

After a simple exchange, Yuan Yuan successfully won the trust of Dr. Pierre, an old friend of the Ph.D. at the University of Marseille, who happened to be Yuan Yuan's graduate supervisor, which gave the two more common topics.

Dr. Pierre had no doubt that Xingchen Technology must have carefully investigated before letting Yuan Yuan come to meet with him, but he was not disgusted by this kind of behavior, but thought that Xingchen Technology attached importance to him.

After all, not everyone is qualified to be valued by the world's largest technology company, Yuan Yuan came to the door on behalf of Xingchen Technology, Dr. Pierre was quite proud in his heart, and bragged to his daughter.

"Suppose you just send someone who doesn't even speak French, that's bad." Dr. Pierre thought to himself that the vast majority of French people arrogantly believed that French was the most elegant language in the world, and that although Dr. Pierre's English was good enough to read Shakespeare, he was still very resistant to all languages except French.

Yuan Yuan smiled, concise but polite, and said what he meant, and when he talked about Pierre's mother, who had kidney cancer, the doctor's whole body twitched, obviously deeply touched by Yuan Yuan's words.

"You can make it through this Christmas for my mother!?" Dr. Pierre jumped up excitedly, and a green tendon appeared on his forehead, and his expression was honestly a little scary.

Yuan Yuan smiled, "If nothing else, we can not only let your mother spend this Christmas, but also let her spend next year, the year after next, or even ten years later, and your mother can still happily open Christmas gifts." ”

"As for the reason, I think you should know that we have a division called life sciences, and my colleagues have just completed immune-activating therapy, and right now, they're working on metabolic control."

Dr. Pierre was stunned, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you done?" How is this possible! The news has never announced this, and after the failure of the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory, you are the only hope for humanity, and the whole world is watching you! ”

Yuan Yuan showed a rather playful smile and said: "The news has indeed not been announced, and it will not be announced for a long time, after all, it is God's obligation to save the world, not ours, as long as we take care of our own people, we are already very satisfied." ”

This obviously teasing remark made Dr. Pierre not know how to answer, and at this moment his mind was full of his mother, who was being treated, and whose hair had all gone, and who was so thin now, that the doctor said that she probably would not be able to go on vacation to the seaside of Nice this summer, as usual, because there was not enough time.

Thinking of this, Dr. Pierre clenched his fists, "I think, you should be negotiating the conditions on behalf of Xingchen Technology, right?" ”

Yuan Yuan smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid you're mistaken. ”

"Oh?" Pierre looked up at the little woman with black hair, her face confused.

"Xingchen Technology never negotiates terms with individuals, and all employees implement the company's existing welfare system." Yuan Yuan explained: "Let. Dr. Pierre, are you the chief scientific advisor to the European Space Agency's Gaia-2 space telescope program, the Galactic Panorama program, and the deputy director of the Mars Agency? ”

Pierre nodded with a complicated expression, it is not difficult to see from his position that he is an extremely important scientist to the European Space Agency, specializing in the field of space observation.

"According to the standards of Xingchen Technology, you can enjoy the company's eighteenth level treatment." Yuan Yuan said lightly: "To put it simply, our boss Luo Jia is level 21, the two presidents of An Ran and Li Moran are level 20, the heads of major laboratories and subsidiaries are level 19, and you are level 18, in our company, level 18 is already a very high position, which shows our sincerity and importance to you." ”

Pierre didn't say anything, everyone knows that Luo Jia is not a stingy boss, the salary and bonuses offered by Xingchen Technology are the highest on the planet, if nothing else, Pierre joins Xingchen Technology, and his salary will be much higher than the current one.

"There must be other conditions, right?" Pierre asked, frowning.

"Yes, you and your family need to join the Chinese nationality, and from now on, you will be subject to the laws of China." Yuan Yuan said quite frankly.

Dr. Pierre was taken aback to the extreme, and gradually opened his mouth wide, "Joining the Chinese nationality?" I've heard that you don't seem to welcome foreigners to naturalization, and it's the hardest country in the world to immigrate. ”

Yuan Yuan listened to Pierre's words, and said with a bright smile: "Doctor, you must understand that from ancient times to the present, China has always been the most open and inclusive civilization in the world, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has always been like this, we are not against foreigners, we are against stupidity!" It's religion! It's greed and deception! It's all low quality! ”

"As for you, Doctor, a famous mathematician who graduated from the Ecole Supérieure de Paris, a space observation expert in charge of several core projects at the European Space Agency, and we are not crazy, how can we oppose you?"
