Chapter 494: 921 Rocket
Compared with the disturbances from the outside world, Pang Xuelin was not affected too much.
Superconducting materials are just a small branch of many technology trees, and even though they will have a very significant impact on this era, looking to the future, room-temperature superconducting materials can only be regarded as a small step in the process of climbing the technology tree.
However, the Qiantang Laboratory has once again become popular at home and abroad.
Many people believe that the emergence of the Qiantang laboratory has allowed China to have a top-level laboratory that can compete with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States for the first time.
Of course, the impact of this paper goes far beyond that.
After the paper was issued, the resumes of scientists from all over the world flew into the mailbox of the Qiantang Laboratory like snowflakes again.
If the last time, when the Qiantang Laboratory was just set up, the main recruitment target was for the world's top Chinese scientists, then this time, it really attracted the attention of global scientists.
After all, not everyone can take the Nobel Prize for nothing.
Whether it is Corton Walker, Cao Yuan, or Li Changqing's experience, it proves that cooperating with Pang Xuelin has the opportunity to produce major scientific research achievements and win heavyweight awards.
Not to mention, China in this era, its national strength is thriving, and it has smashed the scientific and technological blockade of China by Western countries in one fell swoop through the Golden Dragon battery, whether it is industrial output value or overall economic strength, it is a superpower that can almost be compared with the United States.
After coming to China, the various benefits and scientific research funds that can be provided are not much less than those in the United States.
Pang Xuelin even saw Cao Yuan's former mentor Herrero in the establishment of job hunting.
At the same time, Cao Yuan, Li Changqing and others also benefited a lot from this paper.
As co-corresponding authors of the paper, it is widely believed that Cao Yuan and Li Changqing are expected to share next year's Nobel Prize with Pang Xuelin.
Even when the CCTV interview team came over, Pang Xuelin politely refused the invitation to be on camera, but asked the CCTV team to put more shots on Cao Yuan and Li Changqing.
Regarding the disturbance of public opinion, Pang Xuelin did not care.
For Pang Xuelin, honor, money, power, and status have reached the pinnacle of the scientific community, and even his words and deeds are enough to change the future development and policy planning direction of the country.
Therefore, Pang Xuelin has now begun to consciously reduce his exposure, cultivate talents, and focus more on how to reproduce the various technologies obtained in the plane world in the real world.
……
At the end of October 2022, a Yundian-9 aircraft converted from Y-9 slowly landed at Haikou Meilan International Airport.
Although this Yundian-9 has the prefix Yun, it is actually an all-electric passenger aircraft by AVIC, and it is also the first all-electric passenger aircraft in the true sense of human history.
This passenger plane is modified from the Y-9 transport aircraft, but except for the appearance, neither the avionics system nor the internal structure of the aircraft has anything to do with the original Y-9 transport aircraft.
The 10-ton lithium-air battery pack is installed in the wings and various areas of the fuselage, so that the entire aircraft has a range of more than 50,000 kilometers and can fly continuously in the sky for 120 hours without interruption.
It is said that the military has applied this technology to early warning aircraft, anti-submarine patrol aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft and other platforms, so that the soft power of the Chinese Air Force has been greatly enhanced.
The radar power has been doubled, and it can fly in the air for three days and three nights in a row.
An anti-submarine patrol aircraft with a super range that can cover the entire Pacific Ocean.
There are also electronic warfare aircraft with a significant increase in the power of various electronic warfare equipment.
The space for the activities of the US Navy and Air Force in the western Pacific has been greatly reduced.
Of course, the Yundian-9 equipped with Pang Xuelin naturally has nothing to do with the military.
The interior of the aircraft is decorated with the most advanced materials, and the aircraft has bedrooms, kitchens, washrooms, conference rooms, offices, etc., because of the use of low-noise electric propellers, the silence of the whole aircraft is excellent, compared with the jet airliners that Pang Xuelin often took before, it is simply a sky and an underground.
"Professor Pang, welcome to Hainan!"
At the airport, General Tao Yongchang, who was dressed in military uniform, held Pang Xuelin's hand and smiled.
On the one hand, Pang Xuelin came to Hainan this time to participate in the site selection of the electromagnetic catapult space launch system.
On the other hand, he went to Wenchang to observe the launch of the 921 rocket.
Although Pang Xuelin proposed the electromagnetic catapult space launch system, the high-level transferred a large amount of funds to this project.
However, China's traditional space launch program has not been greatly affected.
In the past two years, China's various space programs have developed rapidly.
Needless to say, as the Tianzi No. 1 project of the space port, in the past two years, the Long March 5B carrier rocket has continuously launched the core module and experimental module of the space station, and successfully established China's first large-scale space station in low-earth orbit.
At the same time, the Chang'e-5 and Mars exploration projects are also progressing smoothly.
The Chang'e-5 unmanned probe completed the soft landing on the moon and the return of the unmanned probe, making China the third country after the United States and Russia to land on the moon and return to Earth.
The Mars exploration project also allowed China to successfully launch its first Mars rover on Mars.
It can be said that the domestic science and technology boom in recent years, in addition to Pang Xuelin's drive, the victory of the aerospace port has also contributed to it.
The only thing that made astronauts feel a little depressed was that just as they began to look forward to the achievements of the next decade, Pang Xuelin suddenly came in and directly carved up nearly one-third of the space port's funds.
Although this money does not need to come from the aerospace mouth, it will be very difficult for China's space spending to increase in the next few years.
"Professor Pang, let me introduce to you, this is Academician Liu Xuesong, the chief designer of the 921 rocket!"
"Academician Liu, hello!"
Pang Xuelin took the initiative to say hello to Liu Xuesong.
"Hello Professor Pang, welcome to the first flight of the 921 rocket!"
Liu Xuesong's tone was a little cold, he was not present at the last Xiangshan meeting, although he knew the ability of the young man in front of him, but Liu Xuesong was not optimistic about whether Pang Xuelin could come up with an electromagnetic catapult space launch system.
On the one hand, because of the many scientific difficulties of the electromagnetic catapult space launch system, the engineering is extremely difficult, and on the other hand, it is a purely private perception.
After all, Pang Xuelin is equivalent to reaching out to the space mouth to grab food, and it is strange that Liu Xuesong has no opinion.
