Upper Beijing.

A lecture hall on Chang'an Avenue.

Wearing a gray coat, Academician Wang Rongjun walked into the conference room slowly, found a position with his name tag erected, sat down, and casually put the thermos cup in his hand on the table.

Glancing at the table, I wanted to look for the meeting papers, but I found that there was no such thing at all.

There was a light sigh, and just when Academician Wang Rongjun felt a little strange and was about to get up to ask the staff, there was an unexpected voice next to him.

"Lao Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Rongjun turned around and saw that Academician Li Qingquan, the chief engineer of Huatie Group, was staring at him in surprise and walking towards this side from the back two rows of aisles.

Seeing this old friend, Wang Rongjun was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened.

"I want to ask you! The day before yesterday, we said that we were drinking together, and you said that people were having a meeting in the southwest, why did they come to Shangjing now? ”

"Ahem, I did have a meeting in the southwest the day before yesterday, but I suddenly received a call from the Science and Industry Bureau, asking me to come here for a secret meeting, and I bought the plane tickets. I didn't tell you because it was too important for me to talk about it. Academician Li Qingquan coughed dryly and continued, "I didn't expect you to be notified as well. ”

"Heh, even your old thing has been invited, how can you not invite me over," Reaching out to pick up the thermos cup, after unscrewing it, Academician Wang glanced back at the crowded conference room, and suddenly sighed meaningfully, "The people sitting here are not small." ”

Not only a few academicians in the railway system, but even the old academicians of the Academy of Engineering on the side of the Aviation Science and Aerospace Group were also invited.

In addition, there are some people he is not familiar with, who do not look like they are from the enterprise, nor like the Chinese Academy of Sciences or universities, but a bit like a research unit of the army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the phone call he had called two days ago to tell him to come over for a meeting.

Although on the phone, the person did not tell himself what was to be discussed in the meeting, but looking at the posture and battle, it is not easy to think that what must be discussed will not be simple......

"Yes," Academician Li Qingquan, who sat down next to him, nodded with a little thinning hair, "Half of the big bulls in the rail transit industry are basically sitting here." Could it be ...... Is the country planning to establish a project for the hyperloop? ”

Thinking of this, Academician Li Qingquan's eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and a trace of excitement gradually appeared on his face.

The so-called hyper-speed rail is the concept of "high-speed flying train" proposed by the Aerospace Science and Industry Group, using the technology of "magnetic levitation + low vacuum pipeline" to achieve supersonic "near-earth flight", which can theoretically reach a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour.

As early as the time when the high-speed railway in China was accelerated to 350 kilometers per hour, the wind has been blowing in this regard, and the technical feasibility demonstration has been completed very early, and there are many academician-level bull platforms, but the specific project has not been able to be discussed.

One is safety, and the other is that Huaguo has just built a 350 km/h high-speed railway, and there is not much need to build a faster high-speed rail immediately.

In contrast, it is more practical to export high-speed rail technology to other third world countries such as Africa and seize the global market for Chinese manufacturing.

However, now, the Bureau of Science and Industry suddenly summoned so many experts in the field of rail transit, as well as experts from the Aerospace Group, it is difficult not to make people reverie in this regard.

“…… It's hard to say," frowning and pondering for a moment, Academician Wang Rongjun finally shook his head, "Let's see what the leaders of the Science and Industry Bureau say for a while." ”

"That's right," Academician Li Qingquan smiled, "It's impossible to wait for the meeting to start, and still cover up the topics to be discussed today." ”

As the hour hand reached 10 o'clock, and the participants were almost all assembled, the staff in the staircase room stepped forward to close the door of the conference room, and the meeting finally began.

The presiding officer of the meeting was the leader of the Bureau of Science and Industry, and when he saw Director Li walking up to the stage, the sound of ear-to-ear exchanges in the conference room gradually stopped, and many people showed serious expressions on their faces.

"Thank you very much for being here and participating in this meeting," Standing in front of the microphone and clearing his throat, Director Li continued unhurriedly, "The reason why you have come here is that there is an important matter, and we must seek the opinions of experts. ”

"Because this matter is too important to discuss openly, we did not inform everyone of the content of the meeting in advance before the meeting began, and I hope that everyone will understand."

"In addition, we hope that the content of what we will discuss in the next meeting will be kept strictly confidential. At the same time, I hope that you will not hesitate to share your opinions, and if you have any good ideas, please be sure to bring them up at the meeting. ”

As he spoke, a picture was gradually projected on the curtain in front of the lecture hall.

The moment I saw this picture, the originally quiet conference room suddenly sounded with noisy discussions.

They exchanged surprised glances with the people sitting next to them, and many of them saw surprised expressions on each other's faces.

Lunar mass projector!

Although many people sitting here have imagined a variety of topics that may be discussed today, they still did not expect that the top leader of the Bureau of Science and Industry would come up with such a thing.

When he saw that the content that appeared on the screen was not "super high-loop", Academician Li Qingquan's expression was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Academician Wang Rongjun, who was sitting next to him, kept his mouth open and didn't close it for a while.

After a long time, a sentence popped up.

"This is to build high-speed rail on the moon?"

As if his guess was imprinted, Director Li, who was standing on the stage, cleared his throat and continued in a serious voice.

“…… According to the construction plan provided by the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, we intend to build a circular acceleration orbit based on the crater. ”

“…… Through electromagnetic acceleration, the working fluid is directly accelerated to the lunar escape velocity on the lunar surface, and then launched into the circumlunar orbit through the second inclined orbit. ”

“…… The first phase of the project, with a budget of 200 billion yuan, is expected to mobilize more than 70 universities, research institutions and enterprise R&D units to participate. ”

Listening to the generous gesture of the Bureau of Science and Industry, the expression on the face of Academician Li Qingquan, who was sitting in the audience, was slightly moved.

The budget of the first phase of the project is as high as 200 billion!

This is simply planning to build another moon palace on the lunar surface!

Academician Wang Rongjun, who was sitting next to him, frowning and staring at the PPT shown on the screen, suddenly spoke.

“…… It's probably a lot of work to build this thing, and even if it's completed, the power consumption will probably be astronomical! At that time, I am afraid that I will have to build a supporting fusion power station on the lunar surface to supply power to this lunar cannon. ”

"Lunar cannons?" Academician Li Qingquan raised his eyebrows, turned his face sideways and said with a smile, "This name is quite vivid." ”

The corners of Academician Wang Rongjun's mouth twitched.

"Isn't it a cannon?"

The working fluid is accelerated to more than two kilometers per second with an electromagnetic track.

This terminal velocity is much faster than that of a cannonball.

Squinting at the screen showing PPT, Academician Li Qingquan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly sighed with emotion and spoke.

"You said that the wind of this hyperloop has been blowing for five or six years."

I didn't understand why my old friend suddenly remembered this again, Academician Wang Rongjun looked at him and asked.

"It seems to be...... What's wrong? ”

Academician Li Qingquan: "There are quite a few academicians who give it a platform, right?" ”

Academician Wang Rongjun: "...... What the hell are you trying to say? ”

Academician Li Qingquan sighed and said.

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional."

It is also a project of more than 200 billion yuan, and the wind of the hyperloop has been blowing for five or six years, but it has not blown a shadow. And now this "moon cannon" is just a word from that person, and the decision has been made.

With so many bigwigs standing on the platform together, none of them can stand up to that person's words.

After so many years in the Republic, a scholar with such prestige can probably not find a second place even if he goes back to that era......
