Liao Qingsong and Ma Wu are training desperately.

Bazhong City, Jianmu No. 2 Base.

After more than half a year of construction, earth-shaking changes have taken place here, and not only Jianmu No. 2 base has entered the final commissioning stage.

Bazhong City has now become a real space base, with mass projector design and manufacturing plants, spacecraft construction plants, engine factories, fuel production plants and other supporting facilities and factories.

Zhao Hongxing, as the head of the Dongtang Space Agency and one of the senior officials of the Space Development Committee, has learned about the progress of various systems.

At present, the progress of the timber construction plan has reached the point where it is nearing completion, the main body of the Jianmu No. 2 base has been completed, and the magnetic vacuum cable connected to the ring airship can also be used.

"Old horse, we have done 8 excitation experiments for magnetic vacuum cables, and there is no problem, let's install the mass projector into the Jianmu No. 2 base today!" Zhao Hongxing handed a test report to Academician Ma.

Academician Ma flipped through the report and found that Zhao Hongxing and they also did a parietal membrane puncture test, and the situation was similar to what they expected.

As for why there is no mass projector, why can Zhao Hongxing still do this apical membrane puncture experiment? The mass projector and the tungsten rod projector are on the same principle, so they directly borrowed a tungsten rod projector and tested it.

What is the parietal membrane puncture test?

The top membrane is the one-way magnetic vacuum membrane arranged on the annular airship at 60 kilometers in the entire mass projector system, the purpose of which is to prevent the air from backing up at the outlet of the magnetic vacuum pipeline.

The puncture experiment is to test whether this film will affect the passage of the projection spacecraft.

Academician Ma knew in the report that the puncture experiment was very successful, and Zhao Hongxing and they successfully broke through the top membrane outlet at the same speed as the projection spacecraft.

He flipped through the Jianmu No. 1 in Kaohsiung City, and they also carried out relevant tests, and after exchanging experimental data from the two bases, they were already very confident that the projection spacecraft would be launched into outer space.

"The mass projector is not in a hurry, let's install a superconducting electromagnetic guide rail on the 560-meter hard vacuum pipe first." Academician Ma returned the report to Zhao Hongxing and said.

Zhao Hongxing thought for a while: "That's okay." ”

Jianmu No. 2 base.

Inside a huge rigid vacuum tube, workers lift a piece of room temperature superconductor through a crane at the top to a designated position.

Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma watched the construction not far away.

"It's all white money!" Zhao Hongxing joked with a smile.

"Six superconducting guide rails, one costing 2 billion Chinese yuan, is indeed a silver flower for nothing." Academician Ma said with a smile.

"Fortunately, now China can refine silver from seawater by itself, otherwise the international silver price may go up to the sky." Zhao Hongxing looked at the silvery-white superconductor at room temperature and said.

"That's right, Dr. Yuan Quan's ability is still top." Academician Ma was amazed.

Zhao Hongxing knows Yuan Quan's current billions of net worth: "People are now billionaires, and Galaxy Technology is really willing." ”

"There is a gift to get, a thousand dollars buy horse bones, the appearance is too ugly, who wants to do it." Academician Ma said pointedly.

"Haha, old horse, let's talk to whom, don't beat around the bush." Zhao Hongxing smiled bitterly.

"Don't say it." Academician Ma shook his head and said.

In fact, in recent years, there have been great changes in the official scientific research institutions in China, mainly because of the rise of the galactic scientific research system, which has broken the monopoly of the domestic academic valves.

The galactic scientific research institutions wielding banknotes and a powerful scientific research environment are frantically digging into the walls with titanium alloy hoes, making the official scientific research institutions very passive.

Under this kind of competition, in order to produce results and keep their jobs, many students have to let go of some unspoken rules and let some fresh blood be added.

Otherwise, if they continue like this, they will not finish themselves, and they will have to rectify themselves.

Especially in materials science, the scientific research strength and achievements of the galaxy can resist the world, after all, atomic manipulation technology, room temperature superconductors, total nitrogen anion, submetal series, graphene carbon nanotubes, foam cement, etc., any one can stand alone in the world.

In the face of such a monster system as the galaxy, these scholars are helpless, and they can't be co-opted or suppressed, not to mention that even if they suppress it, it's still unknown who will do whom.

Only with competition can we promote development, and if there is no stagnant pool of competition, sooner or later we will kill ourselves.

"That's right, old horse! Some time ago, there seemed to be a lot of noise at the Peking Academy of Sciences, did you receive anything. Zhao Hongxing asked suddenly.

"You mean about building a large particle collider!" Academician Ma asked lightly.

Zhao Hongxing nodded.

"I don't have any opinions." Academician Ma spread his hands and replied.

"No one came over to be a lobbyist?" Zhao Hongxing asked with a smile.

"I am neutral, neither against nor supportive." Academician Ma paused and continued: "I won't take a position on this matter, maybe they can go to Mr. Huang to take a look." ”

"Go to Mr. Huang?" Zhao Hongxing smiled but did not speak.

When the two were talking, the workers had already installed one of the room temperature superconductor guide rails on the movable bracket, and the reason why it was a movable bracket was mainly so that the distance of the six guide rails could be adjusted.

By adjusting the distance of the guide rails to match the mass projection and magnetic vacuum pipes, it is easy to integrate the whole system into one.

Zhao Hongxing looked at the installation progress and watch and said, "It seems that the installation work will take about a week." ”

"Slow work makes meticulous work, this kind of thing can't be rushed."

"By the way, Lao Ma, what's going on over there in Kaohsiung?" Zhao Hongxing turned his head and asked.

Academician Ma thought about it, turned on the holographic watch again, and looked at the progress of Jianmu No. 1 in Kaohsiung City: "Their progress is slower than ours, and the rail installation plan is to be carried out on October 19." ”

"It looks like it's all about the same, I'll ask Kwangkai how their ship is doing." After Zhao Hongxing finished speaking, he opened his holographic watch and found Wang Guanghai's panda number.

After dialing Wang Guanghai's Panda, Wang Guanghai's holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Red Star, huh? The old horse is also there! ”

"Why don't you welcome me!" Academician Ma joked.

"How dare you, welcome, welcome." Wang Guanghai said with a smile.

"Wang, how is your spaceship progressing? Our mass projector system could be operational this month. Zhao Hongxing asked.

"So fast? Two test spacecraft have been built for the Qinglong-class manned projection spacecraft, and the Xuanwu-class transport projection spacecraft have been tested and accepted, and six have been built so far. ”

"Has the Xuanwu class passed the acceptance? How many ships are there at the Pakistan-China base?" Zhao Hongxing hurriedly asked.

"Bazhong and Kaohsiung each have three Xuanwu-class."

"Are you sure you've got the space station accessories ready to be transported?"

"The first batch is solar panels and 12 cabins, as well as four rocket engines and fuel." Wang Guanghai replied.

After finishing speaking, Wang Guanghai sent a part of the situation to Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma, after all, they are both subordinate units of the Space Development Committee, and they all communicate frequently.

Knowing each other's progress is conducive to adjusting the work, so as not to be unable to cooperate when the time comes, Zhao Hongxing and Academician Ma looked at the progress of the projection spacecraft and the preparation of the space station.

According to the report, the spacecraft system, like the projector system, is in the final stages of completion.
