Unlike polar bears, who can come up with a lot of useful technologies through "archaeology", SpaceX's recyclable rocket technology is a real independent innovation.

However, before the technology was successfully developed, the test launch was carried out in advance, and failure was almost inevitable.

In this regard, Musco is more open-minded.

"Dears, you don't need to be burdened, we didn't explode until the last thirty seconds or so of the launch, which is already a very good result."

"It's even better than I expected."

"At least it shows that our improved version of the Falcon 9 has no problems in terms of launch system, even when igniting in the middle of the first stage rocket."

"It's just that at the end, there were some accidents."

Although the Falcon 9 improved launch failed, the subsequent research and development work could not be stopped.

Musco is also worried that the people below will have too much burden, and when the time comes, he will be timid, but it will not be beautiful.

So instead of losing his temper, he tweeted about the revolutionary progress made in the development of an improved Falcon 9.

Later this year, they will conduct a second test launch.

If you don't bomb it a few times, how can you afford the high R&D costs?

If you don't bomb it a few times, how can you see how high the threshold for rocket launch is?

"We did an initial investigation, and during the last ignition, there was a problem with one of the pipe connections on our engine."

"There is a high probability that there is a crack or the installation is not secure."

"So the fuel leaked out and it caused an explosion."

Dils' movements are also very fast.

From the failure of the launch to the present, he has hardly closed his eyes, and has always led the engineer to troubleshoot various causes of failure.

And these efforts, naturally, have also borne fruit.

"In the past, the first-stage rocket did not need to go through the next two ignition procedures, so the durability of some parts is different from the current requirements."

"Taking this opportunity, we can consider improving the durability requirements of the parts around the engine to see if there are any other parts that are problematic."

"It's not scary to have a problem, just find the cause and solve it."

Dils' answer pleased Musco.

The cause of the problem was found so quickly, and the Falcon 9 improved was one step closer to success.

At that time, he also felt that he could consider building a starlink system on Daystar Technology's side.

He felt that the satellite system seemed promising.

"We had some employees who had jumped to Daystar Technology in Huaxia, and the HR department was trying to see if we could re-recruit some people, which should speed up our R&D progress."

Don't think that Americans must follow the rules and discipline when doing things, that's complete.

When there is a hole to drill, no one wants to let it go.

"You can do this yourself, I don't interfere in specific things."

Musco waved his hand, not wanting to discuss the topic with Deers.

There are some things that can be done, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when he takes them out for discussion.

……

Tesla announced that it will launch the improved Falcon 9 again this year.

The polar bear announced that it was going to make a different recyclable rocket, and it was a large rocket from the beginning.

Daystar announced that it will use Daystar 9 to carry out the second Starlink satellite launch next month.

These actions have had a very big impact on the global aviation industry.

As the general manager of aerospace science and technology, Qian Junfeng has also received a lot of calls in the past few days.

The leaders are more concerned about whether there are any actions on the side of aerospace science and technology, and understand the difficulty of recyclable rockets.

Especially for heavy recyclable rockets, if that thing can be made, then the cost savings will be even greater.

Qian Junfeng, who felt the pressure, couldn't help but call Cao Yang to communicate.

"Mr. Cao, do you think the polar bear's recyclable rocket can be made?"

Compared with the actions of the United States, Qian Junfeng actually pays more attention to the movements of polar bears.

After all, many of China's aerospace industries come from polar bears.

If the polar bear can make a different kind of recyclable rocket, maybe the aerospace science and technology side can also do the same.

"Thirty years ago, people had successfully flown similar recyclable rockets, so the polar bear must be able to make it."

"It's just that although they can be made, it's hard to say how the performance, stability, and cost are."

"Maybe the cost of a single launch of their recyclable rockets is higher than that of ordinary rockets."

Polar bear's space technology is still very powerful.

At this point, Cao Yang didn't look at them.

The foundation left by the predecessors of the polar bears back then was too deep.

Even if you have eaten it for more than 20 years, you still have a very deep capital and can continue to eat.

This is an advantage that other countries do not have.

Of course, I am afraid that few countries want to experience this kind of advantage.

"That's right, the United Rocket & Space Corporation includes almost all of the rocket and satellite research institutes, designers and factories related to the Polar Bear.

"There are some old designers who have personally participated in the rocket project of that year."

"Now it's not surprising to find the sealed materials in the warehouse, and there will be unexpected surprises for everyone at that time."

Compared with anyone's deep foundation, Qian Junfeng will never dare to compare with polar bears.

It was a freak who had been in full blood for a long time after bloodletting.

"Mr. Qian, is it possible that aerospace science and technology is also preparing to enter the field of recyclable rockets?"

Cao Yang heard a lot of things from Qian Junfeng's words, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"The projects we have decided on now must all be traditional rocket projects."

"Whether it's Long March 9 or Long March 5, there is still a lot of work to be done."

"So we definitely won't go directly to recyclable rockets in the near future."

"But considering that the Long March 5 will be our main launch platform in the future, it is something that the relevant departments are looking forward to when we start to consider the recyclable version of the Long March 5 now."

Qian Junfeng didn't hide it, and directly shared the situation with Cao Yang on the side of aerospace science and technology.

Before the established project is completed, he does not dare to easily embezzle R&D personnel and funds to engage in other projects.

"The prospect of the Long March 5 is indeed worth looking forward to, and the performance in all aspects is relatively balanced, and it is a very good launch platform."

Cao Yang still knows a little about the Long March 5.

Even when he was working on Daystar 9, he considered whether to give out the Long March 5 first.

But I think that when the time comes, many things are difficult to explain, and I am passive.

After all, aerospace science and technology have been engaged in the Long March 5 for many years.

If Daystar Technology comes up with a similar product, then many things will not be clear.

But there is no pressure to do this against the Falcon 9.

After all, Space Exploration Technology has not yet developed a recyclable Falcon 9, and at this time, the Daystar 9 launched by Daystar scientific and technological achievements, even if the parameters and performance are very similar to the Falcon 9 in all aspects, it is difficult to say that others are plagiarizing.

Even Daystar 9 will be able to make a rake in the future, saying that SpaceX has copied its own technology.

Cao Yang also understands this situation relatively well.

"Mr. Cao, although our aerospace science and technology is not engaged in recyclable rockets now, the relevant departments still hope that our Huaxia technology in this area can continue to lead."

"So if there's anything in the process that needs the help of aerospace technology, you just have to say."

"Except for the fact that there is no way to provide financial support, there is no problem in terms of other manpower and policies."

Although Qian Junfeng was a little reluctant to say such a thing, considering the attitude of the relevant departments, he finally told the situation.

After all, the circle of rocket launches is simply too small.

A lot of things aren't what he wants.

Otherwise, maybe the position under his ass will not be stable by then.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, I will let Zhao Siyu communicate with your personnel at that time to see if there are any people willing to assist in the development of the MAX version of Daystar 9."

Cao Yang didn't intend to be polite to Qian Junfeng at all.

Sometimes, politeness is just giving up.

Daystar Technology now needs a lot of professional and technical personnel.

These talents are not cultivated on their own in a short period of time.

So now that Qian Junfeng has finally relented and can help in terms of talents, Cao Yang will naturally not be polite.

It is inevitable to even take this opportunity to get more people to come to Daystar Technology.

Anyway, there are so many research institutes under aerospace science and technology, but there is no shortage of engineers.

Many excellent engineers even have no stage to display their talents, resulting in a waste of talents.

"You're coming to the imperial capital tomorrow, aren't you?"

"I heard that this time the National Science and Technology Progress Award, your Nanshan Group will have a lot of gains."

As the person in charge of one of the few central enterprises in China that has mastered the core technology, Qian Junfeng can still learn a lot of information.

For example, the National Science and Technology Progress Award, although most people do not know the relevant news before the official award is announced, there are always a small number of people involved.

So no matter what the news is, it is definitely possible that some will flow out.

Being in the imperial capital, the advantages in this regard are also relatively obvious.

"Well, when the time comes, I will go to Nanshan Film and Television to take a look at the preparation for the filming of "The Wandering Earth".

"Taking advantage of the fact that many people in China are now interested in the aerospace industry and rocket launches, we will get "The Wandering Earth" out as soon as possible, and the box office will be better."

When Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng could also understand.

After all, compared to their own propaganda, using science fiction movies to promote the aerospace industry is definitely better.

Maybe next year, we will be able to allocate more funds for aerospace science and technology.

It was a scene he was very happy to see.

"I heard that Nanshan Film and Television has equipped "The Wandering Earth" with a luxurious team of academicians as technical guidance experts."

"When the time comes, when the academicians in our company are free, they can also go to guide the work."

Qian Junfeng took the initiative to offer some help.

Anyway, this help is a gesture for him, and it won't cost anything extra.

As the leader of China's aerospace industry, they also have more than one academician in the company.

"That's great."

"Don't look at just making a movie, in fact, there are quite a few things to consider."

Cao Yang didn't expect Qian Junfeng to be so interested in "The Wandering Earth".

This kind of help is nothing for aerospace science and technology, but it is still very valuable for Nanshan Film and Television.

After all, people are academicians in the professional field, and casual guidance can also make the scientific and technological content of the film rise to a higher level.

Even later publicity can be used as a gimmick to illustrate.

Is there a film invested by any company that can invite a team of academicians to be a staff officer?

……

Most of the time, the National Science and Technology Progress Award of China is held in January every year.

This time, Cao Yang took a relatively large team to participate in this ceremony.

More than a dozen people entered the Great Hall together, and the momentum was really not comparable to ordinary enterprises.

Especially in this team, in addition to Cao Yang, the richest man in the world, there are four academicians.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that your Nanshan Group is the biggest winner of this grand prize again."

Although the official awards have not yet been announced, the awards have definitely been decided.

Wu Feng, as the general manager of the electric technology group, has naturally heard a lot of relevant information.

"Mr. Wu, the electrical technology group is not bad today, not only the academician Wang in the '2012 National Highest Science and Technology Award winner' is your company."

"The first prize also includes your company's project."

Wu Feng can know some information, and Cao Yang is naturally no exception.

This time, although we are not sure what the situation will be for all the awards, it is very certain that some projects will win awards.

"Your Nanshan equipment is not bad, Academician Pan is another '2012 National Highest Science and Technology Award winner'."

"In the first prize, there are several projects that are yours."

"This time, your Nanshan Group is going to refresh the award-winning record again."

Wu Feng's words are really not polite, he really knows that there are many award-winning projects of Nanshan Group.

Up to now, no company has been able to surpass Nanshan Group in the number of first prize awards.

Whether it is a single award-winning record or a cumulative award-winning project, Nanshan Group is a well-deserved first.

This kind of record, even if you want to admire it, you can't admire it.

"Before the official announcement, everything is variable, and we will not know the final situation until later."

At this time, it is natural to be appropriately modest, and the award will be presented soon, so why are you so proud.

It's jealous for no reason.

There were many participants in the Great Hall, and the level of attendees was very high.

So Qian Junfeng and Wu Feng communicated a little, and then each found their own place to sit down.

This kind of meeting is often carried out in strict accordance with the process.

So after everyone took their seats, they didn't wait too long, and the award ceremony officially began.

Soon, one by one, the awards were gradually announced.

Academician Wang of CETC Group unsurprisingly became the winner of the "2012 National Highest Science and Technology Award".

"Academician Wang was the first person in China to carry out advance research on light early warning aircraft, and presided over the formulation of technical plans, creating conditions for the national decision-making to develop light early warning aircraft."

Zhao Siyu has a good understanding of the situation of the Electric Technology Group, so listening to the above award information, he explained the relevant situation to Cao Yang next to him.

"He also put forward the idea of using domestic aircraft to realize the export of early warning aircraft, and served as the chief designer of the prototype, presided over the completion of the prototype design and manufacturing, and promoted the export of China's early warning aircraft equipment."

"At the same time, as the person in charge of the project, he presided over the completion of the ground prototype technical research of the digital array radar early warning aircraft, which laid the foundation for the development of a new type of early warning aircraft."

"This award is well deserved to him."

There are several awards in the National Science and Technology Awards every year, and some of them may be controversial.

But for those top awards, everyone is still convinced.

"Early warning aircraft is the core equipment of information warfare, and we can consider cooperating with the Electric Technology Group in this regard."

"GaN power components should still play a big role in this regard, and some other products of Nanshan Semiconductor can also find room for use in early warning aircraft."

Cao Yang felt that since one foot had already stepped into the military industry, he should not be too polite.

Except for the propaganda that he does not admit that he is engaged in the military industry, there is no need to have any worries in actual work.

Those who should be involved are involved.

"Well, this is indeed something that can be considered for good cooperation."

When Zhao Siyu just finished saying this, Pan Jinxing was officially announced as the second "2012 National Science and Technology Award Winner".

There are only two people in total for this year's award.

Academician Wang, everyone naturally has no doubts.

Academician Pan Jinxing led the team to come up with complete sets of chip equipment such as lithography machines required for the production and use of 14-nanometer chips, which is also very eye-catching.

Although some personnel were a little envious, they did not dare to be unconvinced.

And Pan Jinxing's award can be regarded as the climax of Nanshan Group's award.

Soon, the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award was announced.

The first to be announced was "Key Technologies, Complete Sets of Equipment and Engineering Applications for UHV AC Transmission", and the winners were a series of companies and research institutes such as power grids.

Naturally, there is no controversy about this award.

Immediately afterwards, the "Recyclable Rocket Technology" of Qixing Technology, the "Research and Application of Key Technologies of Semiconductor Processing Photoresist" of Nanshan Chemical, the "Advanced Unmanned Helicopter Project" of Qixing Technology, and the "Research and Application of GaN Power Components and Advanced Chip Processing Technology" of Nanshan Semiconductor were announced as the first prizes.

Among the 13 first prizes in total, Nanshan Group accounted for 4 of them.

The other is "key technology and industrialization of independent design and manufacturing of shield equipment", which can be regarded as an important achievement in breaking the foreign monopoly.

This is followed by "Innovation of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment System and Application of Key Technologies", which can be regarded as a good achievement of Huaxia in the medical field.

The "safe and efficient development technology and industrial application of extra-large, ultra-deep and high-sulfur gas fields" has solved the key problems for the development of some special oil and gas resources in China.

The following projects such as "Research and Application of Key Technologies for the Prevention and Control of Important Animal Virus Diseases", "Research and Industrial Application of Key Engineering Technologies of TD-SCDMA", "Breeding and Application of Zhonghuang 13, a New Soybean Variety with Wide Adaptability, High Yield and High Quality", "Construction and Application of Comprehensive Management Technology System of Wheat Stripe Rust Source Base in China", "Mechanism of Tumor Angiogenesis and Its Application in Anti-Angiogenesis Therapy" and other projects are also not simple.

After the first prize was awarded, Nanshan Group's award did not end there.

Nanshan Special Steel's Yinwa Steel Project, Nanshan Equipment's "CNC Seven-axis Five-Linkage Propeller Processing Heavy-duty Turning and Milling Compound Machine Tool", and Nanshan Auto Parts' "Key Technology and Equipment for Large-area Array Digital Aerial Image Acquisition" all won the second prize.

So far, Nanshan Group has won 8 awards.

None of these awards are simple.

The result of winning the award in this way has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that Nanshan Group has enjoyed such attention, so Cao Yang can also deal with it calmly.

"Mr. Cao, our group has been able to win so many awards, which is the greatest affirmation of our achievements."

Zhao Siyu is very excited now.

He didn't expect that after he came to Daystar Technology, he would win the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award so quickly.

Although this award is not given to him personally, as the person in charge of Daystar Technology, he definitely enjoys the most benefits.

He had participated in the selection of academicians several times before, but in the end he failed.

Now that he has this award, his confidence is a lot more abundant.

Even if he continues to fail this time, there are various rockets of the Daystar 9MAX and Starship series waiting for him to develop.

He didn't believe in these projects that were more powerful than Daystar 9, and there was no way for him to get the title of an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

"The contribution of our group to Huaxia is obvious to all, and I think it is well deserved."

Although Academician Zeng Jianying won the award today, he was not disappointed at all.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber has already won a first prize last year, and there is no need to say much about the earlier awards.

It can be said that as long as Nanshan carbon fiber can make some new products in carbon fiber or composite materials, it will have the opportunity to win the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

The difference is nothing more than a question of whether the first prize or the second prize is given.

"I hope that every year in the future we can have a bumper harvest like this year."

Cao Yang is also in a very good mood now.

So many manpower and material resources have been invested every year, and the results are obvious.
