Chapter 466: Ion Thruster Design and Shen Lang's Marketing Case
Looking at more and more files inside the cloud server, Cao Yuan's expression gradually became solemn, these data and information are Luo Jia's research efforts on ion thrusters, and at this moment Luo Jia is handing over the ion propulsion project to Cao Yuan without reservation.
This is really generous, after all, scientists are human beings, and even if they don't care about money, reputation is still favored.
"It is worthy of Mr. Luo, he is really an existence beyond our cognition, reputation is like dung to him, probably leading Huaxia to the goal of the level of the sea of stars, can be worthy of Mr. Luo." Cao Yuan thought with adoration in his heart.
Clicking on one of the databases, Cao Yuan saw a lot of sketches drawn by Luo Jia, although his art skills are still bad, but as long as you have enough power jet and electromagnetic physics basics, it is not difficult to understand the design.
The ion thruster is like this in principle, first ionizing the propellant, and then using the electric field to accelerate the ion ejection, forming a thrust in the tail, and at the same time ejecting electrons into the ion beam to make it electrically neutral, this step is very important, if it is not neutral, the ion will be attracted back by the spacecraft, causing damage.
In the past, conventional ion thrusters injected electrically neutral mercury into the ionization chamber and also injected electrons into it, and then the electromagnetic coil around the ionization chamber accelerated the bombardment of the incoming electrons, using neutral mercury atoms to create mercury ions, which were then accelerated by an applied electric field, and finally neutralized by electrons.
In the last decade or so, xenon has been used to replace mercury to overcome the toxic effects of mercury.
Anyway, to put it simply, although the traditional scientific community knows that if you want to fly across galaxies, you need to get ion propulsion, but the academic community has not had any new ideas for the design of ion thrusters, from mercury to xenon, at most material replacement, which can make the thrusters safer, but it is not subversive at all.
In the first design, Luo Jia uses the magnetic field to interact with the electric field to ionize and accelerate the propulsion, replacing the original acceleration grid design, so the ionization rate of xenon is greatly improved.
In addition, Luo Jia also designed an ion thruster based on the Hall effect, which confined the electrons ejected in the annular ionization region, so that these electrons were accelerated under the action of the electromagnetic field, and hit and ionized xenon as a propellant, so that the xenon in the ionized state was accelerated by the electric field.
"These designs are amazing, aren't they?" Cao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "I really don't know how Luo always came up with it, these two designs completely overcome the shortcomings of traditional ion propulsion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are epoch-making!" I can't imagine that Mr. Luo actually completed all this in his spare time! ”
The admiration for Luo Jia in my heart is almost to the extent of throwing himself into the ground, in the field of graphene, Cao Yuan has been a god, and he is in the limelight for a while, but Luo Jia and Enron, who really lead the company, are rare all-round players, Enron is all from mechanical to electrical, Luo Jia is even worse, no one knows how much he knows, and their ability is beyond Cao Yuan's reach.
Another vice president of the company, Li Moran, who is usually low-key and abnormal, also has his own unique ability, Luo Jia's requirements for the software department are not to make mistakes, not to make a bunch of bugs, and not to let North American opponents find the software backdoor, and Li Moran is delicate and calm, and has completed the work very well, although his reputation is far worse than that of An Ran and Luo Jia, but the software produced by Xingchen Technology has an excellent reputation, stability and security.
"It's such a blessing to work with some of the best guys! Ion to promote this project, I must come on, otherwise with Mr. Luo's straight temper, he will definitely choose nuclear pulse, in that case, the company will inevitably be criticized by the whole world, hey, it is really difficult for Mr. Luo, in order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes, but it is the most hated existence of female boxers and environmentalists, I heard that there are also female boxers who throw rotten eggs at Mr. Luo's house, and there are insulting words such as stinky men written on it. Cao Yuan thought secretly.
Since the establishment of the tough guy group, Luo Jia has made a feud with women's boxing, who made him a monk all over the company, and he likes to tell the truth when he speaks, plus Xingchen makes friends to obviously defend male compatriots, and mercilessly kills scumbags and green tea, all of which make Luo Jia a thorn in the eye of women's boxing.
In the past, there were indeed female boxers who found where Luo Jia's parents lived and threw rotten eggs into the yard, and the egg shells were painted with the images of Luo Jia's stinky men and single dogs, but then there were no more, as for why it was not, Luo Jia didn't know, he just mentioned it when he was chatting with the general.
Putting away his emotions, Cao Yuan fell into thinking, his brain was running like a crazy machine, he was also the top ten brains of the company, and he quickly figured out that the reason why Luo Jia was dissatisfied and did not mention the ion promotion project was mainly because the speed was not up to standard.
As a typical science man and pragmatist, Luo Jia believes that ion propulsion must reach or even exceed the speed of nuclear pulse propulsion to have the value of use, after all, the universe is too big, and speed is the first priority of the aircraft.
Otherwise, how cool is the nuclear pulse propulsion, simple and crude, no need for nuclear fusion as a precursor, directly throw the nuclear fission bomb into deep space, calculate the time and angle of detonation, and leave a series of brilliant ripples in the huge pond of the universe, pushing the spacecraft to accelerate, and then accelerate! Burst into the unknown depths of the galaxy.
Such a scene, it's so handsome, isn't it!
In addition to being environmentally unfriendly and dangerous, Luo Jia couldn't find any other reason to refuse.
……
Cao Yuan and Shen Lang joined the Authority, injecting great vitality into the company's leadership, and the current management team of Xingchen Technology is almost the youngest existence in the world, most of them are under the age of 30, and there is even a 16-year-old teenager.
The media and the people are all amazed, but considering that Luo Jia, the boss, is not very old, and Shen Lang is a genius who is unique in ten thousand, maybe age is not as important as people think.
Soon, Xingchen Daily Chemical Group was established, it belongs to the company's three-level department, the superior is Xingchen Chemical, but because the daily chemical company is not engaged in research and development, the technology is taken from the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Life Sciences, the main purpose is to make money, so the operation is relatively independent.
After Shen Lang took office, he asked Luo Jia to contact the national team to acquire the only large-scale daily chemical enterprise in China, Hudu Daily Chemical Group.
Pechoin, a domestic brand under Hudu Daily Chemical, has begun to take shape and popularity after years of development, and it is too slow to build a channel or something, Shen Lang wants to cut through the mess quickly, and large-scale mergers and acquisitions are the only way, as long as you are willing to spend money, the channel can also be bought.
In addition, Shen Lang also plans to buy back the Dabao brand from Johnson & Johnson in North America, focusing on the male product line, and from Henkel in Germany, he will buy back the children's noodles, focusing on the infant product line, forming three major product lines led by Pechoin, Dabao and children's noodles.
It is not difficult to merge and acquisition, because the company has a professional organization, the Ministry of Commerce.
The reason why Luo Jia decided to establish the Ministry of Commerce was that he felt that scientists lacked the ability to deal with businessmen and were not cunning enough, so he asked Hong Tao to recruit a large number of business elites and set up this department responsible for negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, interest exchanges, etc.
The staff of the Ministry of Commerce is also very international, after all, before 2019, the proportion of students studying business has been higher than that of science and engineering in China every year.
The reality is always so cruel, it has been a fashion for those who study theoretical physics to go out of school to engage in finance, get a high salary, and give up theoretical research for many years, and it is also a general consensus in society to belittle science and engineering, believing that there is no future in science and engineering.
The number of international students studying business is huge, so the Ministry of Commerce poachs business elites from abroad, which is much easier than poaching a big bull in the field of organic chemistry like Zhang Dongning.
This situation took a sudden turn in 2019, when a brutal trade war began, and North America led the Western Army to start a global encirclement of China.
For a while, the Chinese people, who felt the huge threat, finally understood the deep malice of this world, and understood that their own nation is special, and there is no second way except for comprehensive autonomy and comprehensive transcendence.
So in 2019, science and engineering broke out, and for the first time in 20 years, the number of people studying science and engineering abroad exceeded that of business, and it seems that the whole society gradually understands the question of who is a friend and who is an enemy, and I just hope that it will not be too late to understand.
In short, Xingchen Technology not only has strong R&D capabilities, business, legal affairs, finance, and even the canteens and gyms of Xingchen Technology are world-class, when Shen Lang proposed mergers and acquisitions, Luo Jia approved, and the Ministry of Commerce acted immediately, and a special plane took off directly from Shanghai, went to Germany, France, North America, Neon, and acquired the enterprises named by Shen Lang.
Some of these acquisitions are feints, specially made for business opponents to see, so that the acquired object knows that Xingchen Technology will not hang itself on a tree, you don't sell, we can still buy it from others, and if you want to take the opportunity to rub oil, there is no chance.
After handing over the merger and acquisition to Hong Tao, Shen Lang began to prepare the marketing plan, which he spent a few days preparing and handed it over to Luo Jia and other management for discussion at the regular meeting of the Authority.
After everyone saw it, they all felt that Shen Lang, the little guy, was a bit ruthless, after all, there was never a free lunch in the world, and the free one was the most expensive.
