The next day, Lu Zhou got up early in the morning, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and took his handsome suit from "Xiao Ai" and put it on his body.

Today is a diplomatic occasion, and eighty percent of them will go to CTV.

In order to let fans in front of the TV see a handsome self, Lu Zhou deliberately spent more than ten minutes fiddling with a handsome hairstyle.

Standing in front of the mirror for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Lu Zhou hurriedly came to the kitchen and hurriedly solved today's breakfast with the microwave, and then went out and sat on the black red flag that had been waiting at the door for a long time, and drove towards the aerospace industrial park on the outskirts of Jinling.

Sitting in the back of the car, looking at the street scene flashing outside the car window, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered what the senior sister said to him yesterday, so he spoke.

"I'm going to change cars?"

Wang Peng: "What car?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Pure electric. ”

Wang Peng: "Is it safe and reliable?" ”

Lu Zhou: "When the time comes, you can check it." ”

Wang Peng nodded: "No problem, when the new car arrives, I will run a set of batteries for you first." ”

Lu Zhou: "...... Running a set of batteries? Are you sure? ”

Wang Peng glanced at the rearview mirror in the car and asked strangely, "...... Any questions? ”

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "It's not a problem, it's mainly that that thing has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers...... Are you sure you want to run a set of batteries? ”

Two thousand kilometers!

As soon as he heard this number, Wang Peng, who was holding the steering wheel, almost didn't choke on his own spit.

Gritting his teeth, he said stubbornly.

"Run! That's only 2,000 kilometers! ”

Yes, but only two thousand kilometers.

That is, from Jinling to Shangjing, and then from Shangjing back......

However, seeing this guy so stubborn, Lu Zhou was very distressed.

2,000 kilometers......

If you really want to finish these 2,000 kilometers, no matter how new the car is, it will have to be ninety percent new......

In less than half an hour's drive, the black red flag passed through the high-tech park from the ring road and drove to the newly built aerospace industrial park located behind the high-tech park.

Strictly speaking, in terms of the division of administrative blocks, this part is actually regarded as the industry in the high-tech park, and it is only divided separately on the map for the convenience of management.

Since the completion of the Jinling Space Launch Center, the aerospace industry of the entire Jinling City has developed at an incredible speed, and there is a tendency to become the Houston of the East.

From satellites to spacecraft accessories, from heat sinks to aerospace batteries, from state-owned giants to private companies, more than 500 companies live here, whether it is all the accessories needed for the Queqiao or Yuegong space stations and even space module components, you can find them here.

In a sense, the reason why the delegation of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development set the first stop in Jinling instead of Beijing is that in addition to taking a fancy to the booming global aerospace market, a more important reason is that it wants to learn from the rise of China's aerospace industry.

Russia has a huge space industry base, but in the context of a depressed economy, these foundations are like a muscle that has lost its blood supply, and it is impossible to exert its power in the air.

Now the whole world wants to take the shuttle bus to space, and in comparison, Russia is undoubtedly the closest to this shuttle......

Under the Star Science and Technology Building.

A black red flag stopped at the door.

Seeing Lu Zhou getting off the car, the man who was standing next to the security guard and kept looking at his watch had his eyes lit up, and immediately walked over quickly.

"Academician Lu, you can be regarded as here!" After a long distance, he stretched out his right hand, shook Lu Zhou's hand vigorously, and the man briefly introduced himself, "My name is Zhong Quan, and I am the secretary of the minister's office, you can call me Xiao Zhong or Secretary Zhong." ”

"Lu Zhou, academician is a title, professor is a profession, you don't have to be so angry, just call me Professor Lu," Lu Zhou smiled and continued to ask, "The Russian delegation has arrived?" ”

Zhong Quan smiled and said, "It's early in the morning!" Mr. Grudev has been asking about you since he got off the plane, asking us all the way if we would have a chance to meet you today. ”

Inquire about me?

How embarrassing is that......

Thinking that the sneeze yesterday turned out to be like this, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and continued.

"Really? Then don't make our guests from afar wait, take me there. ”

The secretary said with a gesture of please.

"This way, please!"

Because of the visit of a foreign team, the aerospace industrial park was completely suspended today, but the time of suspension was more lively than the non-stoppage.

More than 20 black business cars were neatly parked in the parking lot under the Star Science and Technology Building, and a group of Russian-faced diplomats in suits followed the footsteps of Chinese diplomats and local officials to visit the reception hall of the Star Science and Technology Building.

It was here that Russia's Minister of Economic Development, Grudev, finally met the man he was most looking forward to seeing on his trip......

"Hello, Professor Lu! I'm Grudev," the burly-looking, bright-headed Russian man said with a hearty and enthusiastic smile, holding Lu Zhou's right hand tightly, "I always hear your name at meetings of the Federal Space Agency, and I am finally fortunate to meet me today." ”

Shaking this Mr. Grudev's right hand, Lu Zhou smiled modestly and said, "Don't dare to be, I'm also glad to meet you, Mr. Grudev." ”

"I am very impressed by your management of the aerospace industry, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to visit your factory today?"

Minister Yang, the leader of the Ministry of Commerce, glanced at Lu Zhou, cast an inquiring gaze, and after seeing Lu Zhou nodded, he immediately had a bottom in his heart, and said to Minister Grudev, who was standing next to him.

"Of course, no problem, please come with me."

The aerospace assembly center of Star Science and Technology is also in the aerospace industrial park, but it is better to say that the entire aerospace industrial park is developed around the aerospace assembly center of Star Technology.

Because of the request of Grudev himself, the group did not take the car, but walked all the way.

Along the way, the middle-aged Russian man's eyes were glued to the buildings on both sides of the street, and his impassive eyes showed shocked expressions from time to time.

Without the slightest warning, he suddenly sighed with emotion, and said to Lu Zhou, who was walking next to him.

“…… Seeing everything here, I finally understand why you were able to create such a wonder of the world as the Tsukinomiya. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's not a wonder of the world, the scale of the International Space Station is not smaller than it." ”

Grudev shook his head: "The ISS is the result of the joint efforts of dozens of countries, and it took more than ten years to finally complete. And it's unbelievable that in less than a year you have completed what the international community needs a decade to complete. If this is not a wonder of the world, I think there is probably nothing that can be used as a monument to human civilization in the 21st century. ”

Although he knew that this rough Russian man was patting his ass, Lu Zhou's heart couldn't help but be secretly refreshed.

After all, Maozi before the disintegration was also one of the aerospace overlords, although after the disintegration was not as good as back then, but the inheritance of the inheritance can be eaten by them until now, you can imagine how rich this technological heritage is.

Few people know that the "full-flow staged combustion cycle" technology used in the "Raptor" liquid oxygen methane engine on Space-X's BFR rocket is the same as the RD-270 engine of the former Soviet Union's UR-270 rocket.

Of course, dark cool is dark cool, but you still have to be polite.

Lu Zhou smiled and said modestly.

"Where, we are just standing on the shoulders of giants."

Electric propulsion technology is reversed from the wreckage of a higher civilization, and in this sense, it is true, and Lu Zhou really thinks so.

It's just that Grudev seems to have misunderstood the giant in Lu Zhou's mouth, thinking of the former Soviet Union's space industry, he laughed a little embarrassed but politely, but fortunately, Minister Yang saw it at a glance and took over the topic without a trace, so that the conversation was not cold because Grudev was not good at answering.

Although there was such a small episode, the relationship between the two parties was not affected by this. First, Grudev is not a stingy person who does not care about what a scholar who is not good at talking to him, and second, the gap between the international status of the two sides has changed, and he has lost his position of calculation.

Especially in the aerospace sector.

The center of gravity of the space market is shifting from low-earth orbit expansion to Earth-Moon orbit, and Russia must get help from China if it wants to find a way out for its space industry.

If it's not because of strength, what other reason can make a grumpy polar bear meek and cute?

I'm afraid, there won't be any other reason.
