After receiving the news from Hou Shengchang, Xu Yun did not waste time, and took a plane back to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Academy of Sciences the next day.

Once you arrive at your destination, go straight to the Dean's office.

has been in contact with Hou Shengchang for so long, and they are quite familiar with each other, Xu Yun didn't particularly care about the things on the surface, and when he saw that the office door was just open, he walked in directly.

Just in time to meet the other person's gaze.

Hou Shengchang saw that it was him, and hurriedly got up from his seat, still beckoning him to sit down on the sofa next to him as usual.

"You're back just in time."

"Sit down."

Don't forget to make tea yourself.

Xu Yun smiled back and sat down on the sofa generously.

After a while, Hou Shengchang handed over a cup of tea, and said with concern by the way: "How is this time, is the research on the Zu Chongzhi-3 quantum computer going well?" ”

"We are ready to start with quantum materials, and we have now identified a material research direction." Xu Yun took the cup with both hands and answered truthfully, and when the words fell, he put the tea to his mouth and blew lightly, taking a sip, not caring about what tea tasting was or not.

As a young man, he had never studied this aspect in particular, in short, he just drank the tea handed by others and put it in his stomach.

But it should not be said that the tea made by Hou Shengchang is indeed different.

Hou Shengchang's attention was all attracted by the content of the words, but he didn't pay attention to Xu Yun's way of drinking tea.

Knowing that quantum computers have made progress, I couldn't hide the joy on my face.

"Great."

"You are in charge over there, and the hospital is very relieved." The smile on his face never disappeared when he sighed.

Previously, Zu Chongzhi No. 3 had been in charge of Pan Xiaozhi, but the speed of progress was really not straightforward, and it was a world of difference compared with the establishment of a cloud platform.

If it was placed in the past, this kind of efficiency might be acceptable, but with Xu Yun's example here, it seems very slow in comparison.

At present, not long after Xu Yun took over, he has already determined the research direction of new quantum materials, and this progress is indeed amazing.

As long as we maintain the level of the last time, I believe it will not take long to complete the upgrade of quantum computing power.

The two chatted casually on this topic, and then Xu Yun asked about the matter: "By the way, dean, I heard you say on the phone that the Manned Space Engineering Office has something to talk to me about?" ”

"There is indeed such a thing, it is their two chief designers, you should also know each other, saying that it is thanks to you for providing the lunar rover drawings." Hou Shengchang looked at Xu Yun and said with pride on his face: "In addition, I have asked them to come over today, and you can see you again later." ”

When he first learned from Xu Yun that he would complete the new generation design of the lunar rover in three days, he was a little worried, after all, the difficulty was too great.

But out of trust in Xu Yun, he didn't say much.

I didn't even ask what the results were.

It was only according to Xu Yun's own wishes that he was asked to go to the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology to preside over the project.

As a result, just a few days after Xu Yun left, he received a message from the Manned Space Engineering Office.

It was learned that the manned space project had passed Xu Yun's design plan for a new generation of lunar rover, and that the lunar rover had entered the manufacturing stage.

This was an unexpected surprise.

No wonder Xu Yun didn't mention this matter throughout the whole process, it turned out that he had already made a bamboo in his chest.

Although the Manned Space Engineering Office has been specially set up to coordinate and be responsible for the manned spaceflight and lunar landing projects, the engineers of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, as the main members, are basically academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and they are also key projects that are not inferior to quantum computers.

Now that he can see the academician of his own academy of sciences providing such great help, his face as the dean must be bright.

Although Xu Yun is also an academician of the Academy of Engineering, he is currently in charge of the quantum computer project.

So after hearing that Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng were going to express their gratitude in person, he agreed without much thought.

Knowing that Xu Yun was back today, I informed the two of them by the way.

Xu Yun listened to Hou Shengchang's words in his ears, and naturally knew that the two chief designers should be Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng.

A few days ago, he was a little curious when he saw that no news came back.

Dare is deliberately intended to express gratitude in person.

Since it's just a meeting, there's really no reason to refuse.

Anyway, there is still some time before this year's science and technology award conference, and he doesn't plan to leave the imperial capital before that.

"No problem."

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun agreed to come down.

In the following time, because there was no work for him in the Academy of Sciences, Xu Yun did not leave, so he simply stayed here with Hou Shengchang for the time being to ask for the knowledge of making tea.

Although he rarely makes his own tea, it is still good to be able to prostitute a few cups of Hou Shengchang's tea.

As the time passed, just as Xu Yun felt that he was about to get up and leave, he was suddenly attracted by a knock on the door outside.

When he subconsciously looked towards the door, Hou Shengchang's voice was already ringing in his ears.

"Come in."

A young man in a formal suit and a pair of myopia glasses came in and greeted Hou Shengchang and Xu Yun first.

Then report back to business.

"Dean."

"Academician Zhou and Academician Zhang from the Aerospace Office are here."

Xu Yun recognized that the young man in front of him was Hou Shengchang's secretary, but there was no change in his expression, and he only nodded slightly in response to the other party's active greeting.

However, after hearing that Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng had come over, a little surprise flashed in his heart.

I didn't expect the other party to come over so quickly.

And Hou Shengchang obviously felt this way, and muttered in a deep voice: "It's so soon!" ”

He knew very well the time he had informed them, even if he was in the imperial capital, it was indeed surprising that he could come over so quickly.

I'm afraid that after the other party received the news, he rushed to this side without any hesitation.

It's not quite like it's just for thanks.

Doubts in my heart are doubts, since they have already promised each other, there is definitely no reason to avoid them at this time.

So Hou Shengchang instructed the secretary: "Take them to the reception room, and Academician Xu and I will go over immediately." ”

"Okay Dean." The secretary immediately replied.

After speaking, he took the lead in turning around and leaving the past arrangement.

After arranging the meeting place, Hou Shengchang turned his head to look at Xu Yun again.

"Then let's go over too, we can't make the guests wait longer." Before he could finish speaking, he had already stood up and sorted out his clothes.

Xu Yun had no objection to this, and followed Hou Shengchang towards the reception room very coolly.

……

Hou Shengchang walked in front and walked into the reception room first, and after seeing Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng sitting on the sofa, he hurriedly opened his mouth and took the initiative to talk.

"Academician Zhou, Academician Zhang, your sudden attack, but we have no preparations to entertain guests."

"Dean Hou is too polite." Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng saw someone coming, and hurriedly stood up and shook hands.

After greeting each other with smiles on their faces, Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng's eyes naturally fell on Xu Yun.

"Academician Xu, let's meet again." Zhou Mingwei stepped forward and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart: "Here, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of the manned space program. ”

"Academician Zhou has tormented me, as a scientist, this is what I should do."

Xu Yun declined Zhou Mingwei's thanks, still showing humility with that calm face.

Mainly in the eyes of others, this drawing may be of great significance, but for Xu Yun, it was only written casually in three days, and he really didn't take this matter too seriously.

"It's too late to tell you about the lunar rover, and now the space office has approved your plan."

"I believe it won't be long before your rover will be on the surface of the moon to carry out scientific work." Zhou Mingwei told Xu Yun about this, and he liked Xu Yun's performance even more.

However, when Zhang Feng came over, he made a move that surprised everyone present.

I saw him lean down suddenly and apologize to Xu Yun.

"Academician Xu, I'm sorry."

"I questioned your design and thought you couldn't do it in such a short time."

"But now I know."

"The new generation of lunar rovers you have designed far exceeds the solutions we use in every way, and thank you for showing me what a real lunar rover is."

Xu Yun was instantly stunned on the spot when he heard this, and he didn't expect Zhang Feng to apologize to him in front of others.

And there is not the slightest perfunctory meaning yet.

In any case, the other party is an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and he holds the position of deputy chief designer of the manned space project, and it may be difficult for others to give up their pride and apologize to others.

Even the one who was apologized was the academician.

Xu Yun spent a few days to complete the design of the lunar rover, but he didn't deliberately want Zhang Feng to get off the stage.

On the contrary, he recognized and admired Zhang Feng's contributions to the aerospace industry.

So in the face of this situation, he hurriedly reached out to help Zhang Feng up, and at the same time did not stop talking.

"Academician Zhang, what are you doing, there are still many things that I need to learn like you as a junior, and I can design the lunar rover because I have a lot of research in the field of intelligent robots, and we can communicate and learn from each other more in the future."

"Academician Xu is right, there will be more opportunities in the future." Zhou Mingwei listened to the conversation between the two and echoed with a smile.

But if you want to say that you are the happiest, you must still be Hou Shengchang, who sees all of these in his eyes.

After all, people in their own academy have never had this kind of treatment.

After seeing that the atmosphere was almost off, he said enthusiastically: "Let's sit down first." ”

"Yes, sit down." Zhang Feng reacted and hurriedly responded.

In this way, as the four of them sat down on the sofa next to them, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It's as if I've just finished everything I want to say at once.

In the end, it was Zhou Mingwei who took the lead in breaking the deadlock and brought up the matter about the new generation of lunar rover.

"The lunar rover designed by Academician Xu can be said to have functions that far exceed those of normal lunar rover, and can even help our aerospace engineering progress to improve rapidly."

"The most important thing is that the use of such a lunar rover can even solve the problem of building a lunar base." As Zhang Feng, who has the same purpose, he naturally did not forget to cooperate with Zhou Mingwei at this time.

Hou Shengchang knew the original plan of the lunar rover designed by Xu Yun, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

Suddenly surprised, he couldn't help but ask: "You said that Academician Xu's design plan can solve the problem of building a lunar base?" ”

Although he is not involved in the aerospace project, he is still aware of the progress of the current project.

There are still a few years before the official manned lunar landing alone, and how to directly solve the lunar base, you must know that according to the internationally recognized development process planning of aerospace, the construction of the lunar base can only start after being able to skillfully carry out the manned lunar landing.

Otherwise, any problems in the middle will cause great losses.

Zhou Mingwei will take the initiative to mention this, then he must have thought of the words a long time ago, and he picked up without much hesitation.

"Of course."

"At the moment, the above has approved the adjustment of our plan for the moon landing."

"Adjusted your plans?" Xu Yun subconsciously blurted out when he heard this.

He helped design the new generation of lunar rover, and he must have hoped that the manned landing on the moon could be completed more smoothly, but he did not expect that the space office would adjust the previous plan because of this.

In this way, whether it is early or postponed to the moon, it will cause everyone to talk about it.

The thought stayed here, and he was also quite curious about the adjustment plan in Zhou Mingwei's mouth.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingwei did not sell off in this matter, even if he explained the specific situation in detail.

"At present, this adjustment of the lunar landing plan has been approved, and various missions will be carried out in accordance with the new plan in the future."

"Regarding the content of the adjustment, we have decided through research to take the lead in using the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle to transport a certain number of new-generation lunar rovers to the lunar surface."

"Through the function of the lunar rover, a temporary lunar base will be built in preparation for the later manned landing on the moon."

Listening to all Zhou Mingwei's words, Rao is Xu Yun couldn't help but feel shocked when he was prepared, he didn't expect Zhou Mingwei and them to be so decisive.

It was only because of the design drawings of the new generation of lunar rovers that the preliminary plans were changed for it.

Get the most out of the rover as much as possible.

However, this is certainly risky, and even if the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle can complete its mission, whether the lunar rover can build a base for astronauts to live in for a short period of time is also a question to consider.

If the final plan fails, not only will the built base become useless and will be used by others, but the damage will also be great.

Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng dared to take the risk to change the plan, which is indeed quite surprising.

You must know that they can proceed step by step, and they only need to treat the new generation of lunar rover designed by Xu Yun as an ordinary lunar rover, and the manned lunar landing will definitely be successfully completed at that time.

They have nothing to lose except for honors and applause with flowers.

They can implement the new plan according to the adjustment, and if there is a problem in the process, they need to take responsibility for the impact on themselves.

In this case, they still chose to take risks, which is really admirable.

It can be said that they are real astronauts, and they only hope to see the rapid development of the country's aerospace industry.

It's just that Xu Yun is inevitably a little worried about this, and he should have known that he should have appropriately reduced the performance of the lunar rover.

The thought stayed here, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Choosing this plan has made the project much more difficult, I don't know how sure Academician Zhou is?"

Seeing that Xu Yun took the initiative to mention this matter, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Mingwei's face, and then he said quite solemnly: "Whether it is the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle or the lunar lander, we are sure that we can transport the lunar rover and module base materials to the lunar surface, but how to ensure that these lunar rovers can be built is a difficult problem. ”

He made it clear that it is difficult to establish real-time communication with the ground in an environment like the lunar surface, let alone connect the artificial intelligence with the intelligent control of the server.

So it's a problem that needs to be solved.

The construction of temporary bases can be guaranteed only by the creation of a network of current communications on the ground and on the moon.

Even in this way, even if there is an emergency, it can be controlled remotely to deal with the situation.

After hearing this, Xu Yun felt a lot more relieved.

At least this shows that Zhou Mingwei is quite confident in the rocket lunar lander developed by himself.

If you go to the moon without adjusting the plan, I believe that the time will be much earlier than expected.

"If you want to build a lunar base or even explore mining resources in the future, a real-time communication network with the ground is really important."

As Xu Yun's words fell, Zhou Mingwei finally stopped hiding his purpose today, and immediately sent an invitation to Xu Yun.

"What you said is very right, Academician Xu, because of this, we hope that Academician Xu can participate in the manned space project, conquer quantum communication technology, and make the moon covered with quantum networks."

Hearing Zhou Mingwei's words, Xu Yun was stunned at first, and then reacted.

The purpose of daring Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng today is to invite him to join.

However, it is indeed the most suitable solution at the moment to overcome quantum communication technology.

The key is that he is a professional in this area of research.

But before he could speak, Hou Shengchang next to him couldn't sit still.

I thought it was just to thank you, but it turned out to be digging people.

So he hurriedly refused: "Academician Xu has been sent to the Institute of Quantum Information Science and Technology to be responsible for the upgrade of the computing power of Zu Chongzhi's No. 3 quantum computer, and I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in the research of aerospace engineering." When he said this, there was obvious displeasure on his face.

Of course, Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng deliberately waited until the plan was approved, and they would definitely not give up like this.

Soon I heard Zhang Feng explain: "You misunderstood Dean Hou, we just hope that Academician Xu can overcome quantum communication technology as soon as possible." ”

At this point, Xu Yun basically figured out the situation.

For now, he is working on a new quantum material that can not only improve quantum computing power, but also make progress in the field of communication, and perhaps conquering quantum communication technology is not a problem.

At that time, as long as the quantum relay station is deployed on the moon, quantum communication can even achieve two-place ranking without delay.

It's much easier to solve the problem of building temporary bases.

Moreover, it is undesirable to be able to contribute to the development of the aerospace industry.

After all, space technology can be related to the exploration of the solar system and the realization of interstellar migration.

The thought stayed here, and he immediately said: "In fact, even if the two academicians don't come today, I will do my best to overcome quantum communication technology." ”
