For Xu Chuan, since he arrived in the capital, Mizuki University is naturally a place that needs to be visited.

Xu Xiao is still studying there.

Thinking of his younger sister, the corners of Xu Chuan's mouth hooked up a little arc and brought some smiles.

Although with his work and Xu Xiao's study, the brother and sister can't see each other a few times a year, but the contact message has never been broken.

The little girl who used to like to run around behind him has now grown up to be able to lead the team to complete tasks in the laboratory alone.

However, the itinerary was always unsatisfactory, and before he set off, on the campus of Beihang University, the school leaders of Beihang University and the general person in charge of the Aerospace Science and Industry Group came to participate in the bidding meeting.

The first to greet was naturally the school leaders of Beihang College.

Academician Jiang Xinghuai of Beihang Institute of Technology said hello to Xu Chuan with a smile, and said: "Academician Xu's report can be said to be the most exciting one I have heard in Beihang this year, and it is said that your achievements in mathematics are the pinnacle, and in my opinion, you are also outstanding in physics and materials." Thank you for the wonderful lecture report to our students of Beihang University. ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said modestly: "Academician Jiang has a good reputation, and the academic enthusiasm of Beihang students is obvious to everyone, and what I do is just a little thing." ”

Academician Jiang Xinghuai laughed and said: "This is not a trivial matter, teaching and educating people, that is the foundation of national development, today there is Academician Xu's report and explanation, maybe in the future, we Beihang will be able to have a few more talents in the field of material physics, and the country's development hope will be strengthened." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Jiang Lao said this, that's my honor, it's a good thing to have a few more talents." ”

Jiang Xinghuai smiled and hit the railway while it was hot: "If you have the opportunity, I hope that Academician Xu will come to our school to hold some lectures." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded: "Definitely." ”

After greeting the school leaders of Beihang University, the people of Beihang left, and Yuan Yingcai, the general director of the Aerospace Science and Industry Group, said in a somewhat resentful tone:

"Academician Xu is not kind to do this."

If it hadn't been for a call from the group headquarters, he wouldn't have known that Ji Shi, the talent he brought over to participate in the bidding meeting, had been poached.

Although in aerospace science and industry, Ji Shi's existence is not very high, and he is not an academician or a top scientific researcher.

If it weren't for the research and development of satellite acquisition technology, he wouldn't even have had the opportunity to come over and participate in this kind of internal bidding conference.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have taken it to heart if this kind of talent voluntarily resigned.

But he really didn't believe it when the person in front of him said that he didn't have any skills.

After all, the legend of the person in front of me is really scary.

Even if he didn't have any impression of the researcher named Ji Shi in the past, he didn't even see anything surprising when the headquarters sorted out Ji Shi's information and sent it to him.

But he couldn't believe that Xu Chuan would dig up an unknown researcher who was not brilliant.

Xu Chuan pretended not to understand Yuan Yingcai's words, pretended to be a little dazed, coughed a little and said, "What is Mr. Yuan?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yingcai's mouth moved, and he stared at Xu Chuan for a while before he spoke: "You came to participate in the meeting and dug an elite backbone from our aerospace science and industry, isn't it a little?"

"Ahem, that's it."

was directly named, Xu Chuan finally stopped in Bengbu, coughed a little embarrassed twice and said the classic quote: "Mr. Yuan, you can't stop people from running to a better future, can you?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yingcai's mouth twitched again, what he said was true

Fortunately, he didn't come here for this today.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Yingcai skipped the matter of being dug into the corner of the wall, and instead spoke: "Listening to the report of Professor Weng at the bidding meeting, the Xinghai Research Institute led by Academician Xu has completed all the technologies of the high-power electric propulsion system?" ”

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Mr. Yuan, who was from the aerospace science and industry, came over to ask him about the previous digging of people, but now it doesn't seem to be?

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "If you are referring to the research and development of this technology, the Xinghai Research Institute has indeed done it. ”

"The thrust data of 500 kN is not a fiction from us, but a real test data. At present, this corresponding system is in the process of subsequent launch tests. ”

"Engine testing?" Yuan Yingcai keenly noticed the details in his words, and quickly asked: "What does Academician Xu mean is that the energy supply device of this electric propulsion system has matured?" ”

In fact, compared to an electric propulsion system with a thrust of 500 kN, the device that can supply energy to this system is more important and more concerning.

The technologies that can be demonstrated in manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects are inevitably related to these two fields.

And it is not a secret that the Xinghai Research Institute is researching the space shuttle, which is not a secret to a veteran aerospace company like them, although they don't know the specific details, but the research direction is still known.

And being able to stuff this electric propulsion system into a space shuttle and have a corresponding energy supply system is the most terrifying and worthy of their attention.

You must know that the demand for electric energy for the electric propulsion system of 500,000 kN is not a small number.

A simple calculation shows that the demand for electric energy for a 500KN electric propulsion engine is probably at the WM level.

Not to mention traditional lithium batteries, even nuclear batteries can't do this level of power supply.

As for the nuclear fission power reactor, although it can be done, it can achieve the efficiency of 100 WM, and the volume requirements for the fission reactor are not small, and its weight is even more heavenly.

Take the Nimitz aircraft carrier on the side of the United States as an example, the 30WM small fission reactor has a dead weight of thousands of tons.

This weight is acceptable on an aircraft carrier, but on a space shuttle, take your life and fly?

For Yuan Yingcai, the only possibility he could guess was that a miniaturized controllable fusion reactor might break through.

But this possibility is even more difficult for him to accept.

You must know that it has only been more than a year since the dawn device was officially connected to the grid for power generation after acceptance!

In more than a year, a breakthrough in miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology has been completed, Xinghai Research Institute, no, how did this freak in front of him do it?!

Hearing Yuan Yingcai's inquiry, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Regarding the device for supplying energy to the electric propulsion system, it is still in a state of secrecy, and I will forgive you if you still play with Mr. Yuan." ”

Yuan Yingcai came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said: "I crossed the line, but about the electric propulsion system, whether it is convenient for Academician Xu to arrange it, the aerospace science and industry here wants to go over and visit." ”

"If you can, in the follow-up aerospace field, it is possible that aerospace science and industry and Xinghai Research Institute can carry out some cooperation."

Although they are the two old aerospace enterprises in China with aerospace science and technology, and even in many cases, these two companies advance and retreat together, but aerospace science and industry is relatively more military than aerospace science and technology, and does not care much about some things.

For aerospace science and industry, the technologies and undertakings that can add strength to the field of national defense are worth fighting for and doing.

And the electric propulsion system, with a thrust of up to 500 kN, is clearly in this.

While it's unlikely that they'll install an electric propulsion system on a missile to provide thrust, there's more to defense than just missiles.

Fighter jets, bombers, aircraft carriers, even satellites, space stations, and so on.

For these fields, the electric propulsion system of up to 500 kN is definitely very promising.

Hearing Yuan Yingcai's words, Xu Chuan realized what the person in charge of aerospace science and industry meant, and originally wanted to cooperate with the Xinghai Research Institute in electric propulsion and even miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Smiling, he said: "Mr. Yuan is welcome to come to guide the work at any time, if there is an opportunity for cooperation, it would be better." ”

Regardless of the idea of aerospace science and industry, for Xu Chuan, since there is cooperation, it means that there is income.

Especially for the space research institute, income is even more important.

After all, every investment in research in the field of aerospace is calculated in tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

As for whether these things will be leaked, he is not worried.

If the Aerospace Science and Industry and the Xinghai Research Institute want to do business on aerospace engines and miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology, it must be reviewed by a high level.

Moreover, the background of aerospace science and industry does not require him to think too much about these things.

After all, this is a company shouldering the historical mission of enriching the country and strengthening the army, engaged in strategic industries related to national security, and is also the backbone of the national defense science and technology industry.

After chatting with Yuan Yingcai for a while, the two said goodbye and separated.

Xu Chuan sent a message to Zheng Hai and drove him to Mizuki University.

Under the biochemistry experimental office building, Xu Chuan waited for a while, and in his sight, a girl in a white down jacket ran out of the building quickly.

"Dude! What are you doing here?!! ”

Seeing the familiar figure standing in front of the steps, Xu Xiao trotted over with a surprised face.

Xu Chuan smiled and looked at his little sister, and said, "I happened to have a meeting here in the capital, and I stopped by to see how you were doing." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiao pouted and said, "Just by the way?" ”

Xu Chuan glanced at her with a smile and said, "Isn't it enough?" ”

Xu Xiao pursed her lips and said, "Isn't such a cute sister worth your special trip?" ”

Xu Chuan laughed and said, "Okay, I will have time to come to see you in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Xu Xiao muttered, then remembered something, and said, "Brother! Since you didn't come to see me this time, I want to make amends! ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile and asked, "Okay, what compensation do you want?" ”

It's normal for my sister to find an excuse to ask him for a gift or something from time to time.

Xu Xiao said quickly: "I want 20 million soft girl coins!" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, looked at his sister in a daze, and looked at it for a while before he spoke: "Twenty million? What do you want so much money for? ”

Although for him, 20 million is not a big number. But for Xu Xiao, this is already a big number.

Although he would not suspect that Xu Xiao had contracted bad habits, Xu Chuan was still very curious about what she was going to do with such a large amount of money.

Xu Xiao muttered and said, "Because of the research project." ”

"Huh?"

Sighing, Xu Xiao glanced at his elder brother, and continued: "It's not the research on the processing of brainwave signals and the implantation of electrode arrays in the human body. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked curiously, "Isn't that research very good?" ”

He still remembered the email Xu Xiao sent him before.

A research method that implants electrodes in the brains of monkeys and then forms a certain vision without going through the retina.

Although he is not the first scholar in this field in China, or even the first scholar in China to study this field, with the help of mathematical ability, his sister has redesigned a complete set of mathematical models for multi-electrode arrays, which can greatly stabilize the stability of EEG signals and the resolution of artificial images, and improve the feasibility of neurovision.

For those with disabilities who are blind, the development of this technology may bring hope for a future of regaining light.

Xu Xiao sighed and said, "It would be nice if it was really as good as you thought, in fact, we have not made progress in this research work for a long time except for that breakthrough." ”

"As a result, there is no support for follow-up research and funding, and although the project will still be retained, the university is not ready to continue to invest in it on a large scale."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "So you are ready to squeeze your brother and ask for money from me to continue research?" ”

"What do you mean by pressing?" Xu Xiaodi slipped his dark eyes and began to flicker: "This is an investment!" Do you understand investing? If this technology is made, the future market will not be 20 million! More than 20 billion! ”

Xu Chuan glanced at her, just this flickering technique, still want to fool him?

However, as for the future market of neural network technology and virtual reality technology, let alone 20 billion, more than 200 billion.

If this technology can really be fully integrated, the economic effects and market it can bring are not weaker than that of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

As for the investment or something, he doesn't care too much, it's only 20 million.

As long as it's not a bad habit like gambling waves, a little investment in scientific research, let alone 20 million, even 200 million doesn't care to him.

After all, he's just one sister.

What's more, virtual reality and neural network linking technology are still the direction he recommends.

Looking at Xu Xiao, who was trying to continue to fool him, Xu Chuan smiled, patted her shoulder, and said, "Money is not a problem, let's go, take me to see your research and experiments first." ”
