Chapter 22: Shopping Spree

When Nie Peng finally carved out the space in the cave into the shape he wanted, it was already two days later, and during these two days, Nie Peng basically spent the rest of his time on the moon except for eating, drinking, and Lazar at home. Soak in a cave, to be exact.

The lights are stuck on the tunnel wall, and almost the entire cave is illuminated as if it were daytime. Looking at this capsule-shaped space comparable to your own bedroom, the potholes of the cave walls occasionally slide down a cloud of dust. So I picked up the grinder at hand and polished it.

For a time it was dusty.

This capsule-shaped cavity was the result of Nie Peng's thinking for a long time, because considering the thermal conductivity of the surrounding rocks and the insulation of the room that would be placed in this cave. He decided to find some hoop-shaped supports with the same inner diameter as the cave wall to support the roof of the cave.

When the cave wall is stable, some flexible inflatable air bags will be customized, and the air bags will be placed in the cave, and the cave wall will be squeezed after inflation.

Then layer by layer, the airbags with different functions are inflated. Through multi-layer filling, it is like stuffing a hollow and solid insulated shell into a cave.

Finally, the hoop-like material is used as a support frame in the shell to fix the entire capsule-like space. Then this simple thermal and dustproof outer layer is done, and all that remains is to install the reinforced plate on the inner hoop.

While polishing, Nie Peng fantasized about the prototype of his first base, and decided that when everything was ready, he had to sleep here and feel the taste of a nap 380,000 kilometers away.

It was not until all the protrusions of the cave wall were polished and smoothed and the dimensions of the cave were measured that Nie Peng returned home, looked at the space in the garage that had been filled with himself, and decided to hurry up and rent a warehouse, otherwise this garage would be incompetent with the increasing equipment in the future.

Seeing that the mobile phone prompted that there were two missed calls from Chen Tuan, Nie Peng called to ask what was going on, only to learn that Ah Si Likang had remitted 1.05 million yuan to the account of the end bank, and wanted to continue to buy 3 grams of intermediates. Chen Tuan asked him how the money was put in the account, and Nie Peng felt the need to discuss with him the distribution of the interests of the intermediates.

looked at the time, 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so let Chen Tuan come over.

。。。。。。

Chen Zhong, who was far away in Shanghai, was annoyed to death by a report at the moment, who would have thought that it was an idle errand, but at this time it was implicated in so many problems.

Especially before the second negotiation, Nie Peng handed him the cylindrical foam block outside the conference room. Chen Zhong, who had no contact with the domestic aerospace business, heard that the foam was made according to the model of the cultivation tank volume, he thought that he understood what Nie Peng meant, and thought that the organization behind Nie Peng was courting Ah Silikang.

At that time, he only cared about excitement, whether the mutant of the end line was cultivated on the space station or on the ground, at least the purpose of his trip - to initially establish a relationship and achieve cooperation as much as possible was achieved.

With samples and models, he returned to the headquarters all the way, thinking that he was a perfect handover, and followed the report handed over to him by the market analysis department in the past two days. Only then did I realize what level of things I had come into contact with.

Looking at the words circled with a red pen on the report, Chen Zhong couldn't figure out how Nie Peng and the national aerospace department were involved, but the eye-catching words "Tiangong No. 2" and "Shenzhou No. 11" on the report clearly pointed to the origin of the whole incident:

Nie Peng.

On November 18, the return unit of the higher plant incubator and the experimental samples for the preparation of space materials carried by the return capsule of the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft were successfully recovered and transported to Beijing.

On that day, they had just called Duanxing in the name of Ah Si Likang, expressing their willingness to establish cooperation.

The second negotiation, five days later, resulted in an intermediate from the Elaprase mutant system.

At 12:41 on November 17, the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft and the Tiangong-2 space laboratory were successfully separated.

The day before, it was Nie Peng's last contact with the Aspiricon Research Center in Switzerland, and in that email, he delivered a large number of photos of the Elaprase variant.

"Coincidental, too much of a coincidence, it must be." Chen Zhong kept hinting to himself, there were too many doubts that could not be explained: Could it be that the country has come so far on the road to conquering Alzheimer's disease?

But why sell the made intermediates to Aslicon, and under the pretense of someone who has nothing to do with it.

So, what does that piece of foam mean? Is it implying cooperation? Why don't you get in touch with Aslikang before liftoff? Who's in charge? What is the purpose?

Chen Zhong, who was caught in an infinite loop, kept pulling his hair, dragging the originally neat hairstyle like a chicken nest, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed. But if he can't get the analysis report out tomorrow, he believes he will be even more embarrassed.

。。。。。。

Nie Peng, who thought that the account was a complicated procedure, suddenly became enlightened after listening to Chen Tuan's explanation. I originally thought that I needed to issue my own purchase order, but in fact, I only needed to hook it up to Nie's father's factory and make it into a sample processing mode.

Among them, the material process has been omitted, so that the input of 1.05 million, excluding the "cost of 600,000" in Nie Peng's mouth, is the net profit.

This made Chen Tuan happily dry three bottles of green beer in a row, shouting that Nie Peng was his lucky general, and even with the strength of wine, he had to kowtow to Nie Peng, but in front of everyone, he was willing to lose this face, but no one was willing to accompany him.

Sending Chen Tuan to the taxi home, Nie Peng went home to find a manufacturer that could customize multi-functional airbags, because many normal temperature materials could not be used in the space environment, so the general textile factory rubber factory could not meet his requirements.

It was easy to find an airbag that could meet the requirements in a foreign sounding equipment company, but the other party's offer made him tangled again, and the most basic mesh carbon fiber airbag on the first layer was quoted at 3000.

Aluminum Oxide Sol Thermal Insulated Airbag, 18000.

The nano microporous vacuum insulation layer even reached 200,000.

After all the sums were summed up, Nie Peng tragically discovered that there were only 150,000 left of the 600,000 that had just been intercepted from Chen Tuan. This is really making money like water, spending money like a torrent. But for the sake of safety in the future, this money has to be spent.

gritted his teeth and paid the order, contacted Wang Changwen again, and sent the size of the ring support hoop that needed to be manufactured.

When Wang Changwen learned that those support hoops needed to work in an environment close to minus 200 degrees Celsius, he did not hesitate to ask Nie Peng for a "conscience price": 2,000 each.

There are a lot of reasons, such as what thermal stress deformation, molecular force becomes smaller, alloy materials will become brittle, and so on.

All in all, in addition to their family, Qi City's processing is counted as one, and he dares to guarantee that it will not take 3 days.

So Nie Youpeng spit out 12,000 oceans.

After enduring the pain and paying the money, for fear that Wang Changwen would come up with some strange excuse to blackmail the money, Nie Peng hurriedly hung up the phone. But not long after hanging up, I found that I had to fight back.

Because the most critical part of the lunar base: the airtight door. He searched all over the network and there were few that could contract the production, and even when he asked where he could customize, the unified reply was "I don't know".

Think about it, close to minus 200 degrees, but also pressure mechanical valves, except for spacecraft, rarely have such extreme equipment requirements.

Whose machine shop has nothing to do to process this kind of parts? Who do you sell it to? So Nie Peng licked his face and called Wang Changwen again, and after some friction, he finally asked for a series of phone calls.

After calling, the specific requirements were explained, and after the other party learned that it was a customer introduced by Wang Changwen, he quoted the price of 700,000 a fan, and the corners of Nie Peng's eyes twitched.

Fortunately, Ah Si Likang added an order of 3 grams, and if the money goes well, it will arrive within a week, otherwise he really can't get this amount.

Nie Peng told the other party that he would make a payment for customization within a week, thinking that this kind of special equipment would also need a processing period of twenty or thirty days, but he didn't want the other party to reply to him directly: the payment will be delivered.

I'll it! Are you NASA backup warehouses? Can this kind of thing still be delivered? Nie Peng, who hung up the phone, looked at the phone number on his phone, and even wondered if Wang Changwen was lying to him.

Now that the door is there, the insulation layer is there, and the rest is the room decoration, Nie Peng found out the manuscript paper he had drawn before, and drew the room according to the characteristics of the inner wall of the capsule.

First of all, the room structure is customized as a hexagonal shape of the honeycomb, which is stable and easy to place equipment, the walls on both sides should be vertical, and the inclined groove on the ground is just used to place cables and control equipment, and then a layer of backing board is laid, so that it is at least a boxy room.

Then you need to consider the temperature control and the placement of the battery, then the wall, the lighting...

After holding a pen to write and draw for a long time, Nie Peng looked at his sketch with satisfaction and went to sleep with a hint of relief.

is as pleased as he is, as well as Li Yunfeng. I was still suspecting that Chen Zhong was just talking about the national scientific research project unintentionally, but today he took the initiative to contact him, with a lot of praise in his words, and even made a promise to lead the research and development.

He has always had a high quality of sleep and felt that he was going to lose sleep tonight, so he turned his head to look at his sleeping wife next to him, tucked the quilt for her, quietly exited the bedroom and paced to the windowsill, looking at the half-round bright moon in a daze.

If you stand on the moon base thousands of miles away at this time, the lunar surface, which was originally illuminated by the reflected light of the earth, suddenly brightens up with the bright light that rises instantly at one end of the horizon, as if a spotlight suddenly turns on in the dark night.

The morning and dusk line swept across the sand, and the solar panels placed on it began to work after the first night.
