On the outskirts of Jinling City, a train of Volvo heavy-duty trucks crushed over the concrete road, kicking up billowing dust behind the body.

If it was an ordinary enterprise, it would have been detained by the road administration personnel at this time, but this train fleet was unimpeded along the way.

For no other reason, it was a military vehicle that opened the road in front, and a military vehicle followed closely behind.

Looking at the murderous appearance, let alone going up to stop the car, most people see it and walk around.

The convoy drove all the way east, into the easternmost area of the high-tech park, and stopped at the door of a factory covering an area of hundreds of acres.

A man wearing a hard hat and overalls walked to the truck through the access control, talked to the man sitting in the passenger seat of the led truck, and then retreated to the door of the factory and began to beckon the convoy into the factory.

Not far from the gate, there is an inscription on the private capital of this institution.

Star Science and Technology Space Shuttle Assembly Center.

If you just look at the name, it's quite futuristic.

In the parking lot not far from the door, a black red flag slowly stopped.

Turning off the engine, Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced in the direction of the train fleet and couldn't help asking.

"Are you really going to build a space shuttle?"

Lu Zhou: "Otherwise? ”

"Nothing...... I've just heard, isn't that thing fooling the Yankees? ”

After all, he is a disciple of the big courtyard, and his family has some connections in the army, and Wang Peng has heard of some things.

For example, the last symposium on the moon landing project, on the surface, was to lay out the helium-3 energy needed for the next generation of controllable fusion, but in fact it was just a cover to contain the controllable fusion projects in the United States and Europe. He even heard that at the beginning, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Bureau of Science and Industry planned to push Professor Lu to the position of chief designer, but it was only after Lu Zhou's strong resignation that he became the chief consultant.

But I have to say that this trick still works.

In particular, as soon as the concept of "mass launcher" was thrown out, it instantly scared many people. After all, if that thing can really hit a load of several tons into low earth orbit, it will not only be used to project satellites, but also to send couriers......

Although Huaguo doesn't mean that, it can't stop others from thinking too much.

Especially Lu Zhou, the demon, sits in the position of chief adviser......

"There's no way, I can't do anything to fool people, so I'll just do it seriously," looking at Wang Peng's stunned expression, Lu Zhou smiled, "Okay, no kidding, in fact, I already had this plan." ”

“…… I always thought you were a mathematician. ”

"I really am a mathematician."

didn't continue to waste time in the car, and after getting out of the car, Lu Zhou walked straight into the assembly center.

Because of the existence of Xiao Ai, the entire assembly center can theoretically achieve completely unmanned automated production. In addition to the technicians who are responsible for the maintenance of equipment, maintenance wiring, etc., and a small number of management personnel, the entire assembly center is left with only employees of the security department.

The latter now accounts for almost two-thirds of the total number of employees in the entire assembly center.

Machining centers that can achieve this level of automation, not to mention domestic, even if they are put internationally, are rare.

Once the processing materials arrive, the entire assembly center can start construction.

In the future, Lu Zhou also plans to build an independent R&D department here, as well as a special astronaut training base. However, these things cannot be done in one step, and it will take a certain amount of time to accumulate.

Looking at the lathes in the factory and the industrial robots lined up on both sides, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone and took a photo and sent it to Xiao Ai, and said with a smile.

"How's it going, are you still happy with the new toy?"

Almost instantly, a string of text popped up on the screen.

[Uh-huh! Super satisfied! Thank you to the host, give the host a heart! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o】

Lu Zhou: "It's good to be satisfied...... By the way, and don't forget what I told you, don't get something weird out there...... Also, the shuttle is just like the one I gave you, don't add some superfluous features. ”

The drawings for the Space Shuttle were obtained from the Aerospace Branch, and the engines and fuel tanks were modified, and the rest of the design was basically inherited.

Although China has not built a space shuttle, it does not mean that no one has studied it, and it was only because the example of the failure of the Soviet Union was placed there, and it was stopped later.

There are a lot of black technologies in the 863 plan that look very black even now, and the reason why some things or technical routes have been abandoned is not because they are not good in themselves, but because of the difficulty and cost and other factors, it does not conform to the background of the times at that time.

If the high-thrust electric propulsion technology and the high-energy-density power supply device can really be realized, the advantages of electric propulsion technology in specific impulse have the potential to replace chemical rockets. After all, for chemical rockets, it is almost impossible to significantly increase the specific impulse.

Fortunately, these two problems have been solved by Lu Zhou at present.

Xiao Ai: [Don't worry! Xiao Ai is very well-behaved~(๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧】

Looking at Xiao Ai's reply, the corners of Lu Zhou's mouth couldn't help but bend.

Although this guy occasionally behaves very mentally retarded, in terms of obedience, he is still impeccable.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps behind me.

Lu Zhou looked back and saw that the senior sister was walking through the door of the factory and walking towards him.

Glancing at her with some surprise, Lu Zhou put away his phone and asked with a smile.

"Why are you here too?"

In March and April, the headquarters of Star Technology was moved from Shanghai to Jinling, but the location of the office was finally chosen in the urban area, rather than the high-tech park. Considering the road conditions and other factors, it takes at least an hour to drive here from the headquarters, which is really not very convenient.

Walking to Lu Zhou's side and stopping, Chen Yushan smiled and said.

"Anyway, I'm also the CEO of Star Technology, how can I not come on such an important day, how about it? It's satisfying here. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Quite satisfied, thank you." ”

"You're welcome," Chen Yushan curled the corners of her mouth and continued in a joking tone, "Speaking of which, I have never been to space in my life, if you can really build this space shuttle, maybe we can also do a one-day trip to the moon in the future." ”

Lu Zhou: "It's a waste to only go for one day, and you have to stay for three or four days before coming back after you go up." ”

Chen Yushan teased: "Then it seems that a moon-themed hotel has to be built." ”

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then smiled

"Your brain hole is simply bigger than mine......"

Chen Yushan couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhou.

"What a brain hole, is this called business sense of smell?"

"Yes, yes, yes."
