"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean! You don't want to send a satellite, do you? ”

"But the rocket was launched for the first time, so it's hard to say."

"It's just a small rocket, and it has Aramco engineers in charge, no matter how unreliable it is, it's just like our satellite."

"You still say! Xiaolin said that we could build satellites, and at that time we participated in the design of a few parts, so we went crazy ourselves! ”

"I'll just ask you, do you want to do this project!"

"Do it, do it!"

Tong Peiqiang and Zhou Rui hid on the balcony outside the office, immediately started a conversation, and confirmed each other's thoughts at the speed of light.

Do you want to do a satellite project? Of course, I dream of it.

Both of them are about to retire, and although they have many titles, they have never done such a high-level project.

The passing of the past few years is an eternal pain for every participant.

Now the opportunity is in front of us, and there is no reason to miss it again.

The reason why the satellite offer was deliberately made just now was just that the school habitually wanted to get wool from the enterprise.

Although it is an ordinary college, the annual funding of Southern Institute of Mechanical Engineering is definitely a lot, and it is a bit troublesome to support the satellite project, but it can be done.

Tong Peiqiang believes that not only he thinks so, but also the school, they have made countless efforts to improve the quality of the school, but none of them is as big as the current satellite project.

He asked Zhou Rui to appease Lin Ju first, and he immediately called to contact anyone who could help.

When Lin Ju saw Professor Zhou Rui come in to chat with him, his heart calmed down, and he didn't hurry to laugh.

It wasn't until half an hour later that several school leaders showed up in the office in sweat.

Together with Tong Erren, six professors involved in the satellite project and other professional teachers demonstrated the rocket plan, and finally convinced the school that the rocket was highly feasible, the design was mature, and the technical parameters were real.

Principal Jiang, who had a bottom in his heart, immediately made a decision and finally asked to visit the factory.

Before he had time to eat lunch, Lin Ju drove the school bus all the way to the tractor factory.

On the way, the teachers and professors looked at the road that was getting more and more deviatent and a little suspicious, and when they saw the signboard of "Xinyuan Town Tractor Factory", their eyelids jumped.

Fortunately, as soon as I entered the factory, the high-tech feeling on my face swept away all distrust.

Under the leadership of Guo Shen, the group looked at various machinery and equipment and assessed the production capacity.

Zhou Rui's eyes swept the nameplates of the machine tools and equipment, and he was a little surprised to find that they were all brands he didn't recognize.

However, a look at the technical parameters, and they are relatively high-end machine tools, which are difficult to buy in China, and there is not much domestic production.

Lin Ju's explanation for this is that these machine tools are provided by agents, and they were fooled by avoiding sanctions and changing the nameplate, but fortunately, Zhou Rui did not ask.

In any case, whether it is an insider or a layman, the feeling after the visit is: good!

The condition of the factory and the machines are so good, they are newly installed, and they feel like they are all shining.

Guo Shen, a patriotic overseas Chinese, can explain in standard English professional terms, and is even more convincingly called "Chief Guo".

When the visit was over, the psychology of the school group also changed, and they felt that the relatively unreliable party was themselves.

The next way to work together is in the conference room of the tractor factory, which has also been renovated.

This time, the two sides sat opposite each other, with Guo Shen and other professionals pressing the formation, and the school had to deal with it seriously.

In the afternoon, the two sides reached a preliminary intention.

First of all, Lin Ju will never buy a satellite, but the school will not give a launch fee of 10,000 US dollars per kilogram, and considering the first launch, the following agreement was reached:

1. The university decided to participate in the rocket and satellite projects at the same time, and took out 10 million funds to join the group, and the results were shared by both sides.

2. The satellite is actually arranged by the school, and must be completed within 30 days, and the quality control is below 400 kg, and it needs to have a certain scientific detection function.

3. The university will send no less than 10 professors and 20 practitioners to assist in rocket manufacturing, and the subsidy will be issued by Lin Ju.

4. Guo Shen is the chief teacher, and Tong Peiqiang and Zhou Rui are the deputy chief teachers.

Lin Ju and Guo Shen didn't know the specific strength of the Southern Institute of Mechanical Engineering, so they thought it was pretty good, and they also got 10 million funds, which were completely abundant.

But on the side of the school, everyone forcibly held back and never laughed.

As long as the project is successful, the school's budget will increase by 200 million yuan next year, and at the same time, it will be a win-win situation for them to increase their strength and fame through the space program.

The only problem is that Lin Ju gave a very tight time, 30 days to complete the design and manufacture of the satellite, but fortunately, there is no need for complicated functions, the big deal is to eat and live in the laboratory, and the satellite will be made after fighting.

Before leaving, Principal Jiang cordially held Lin Ju's hand and said earnestly:

"I am very pleased that the school can cultivate a young man like you, and at the freshman ceremony next semester, Lin Ju must be present and give a speech as an outstanding alumnus!"

"Headmaster, you're so polite, polite."

Lin Ju was touted like this for the first time in his life, and the whole person was a little floating, and Principal Jiang promised him that he would also hang the headshot on the propaganda wall, and he was still smirking after sending everyone away.

With the help of the school, a satellite must be at your fingertips, right?

Southern Institute of Mechanical Engineering, late that night, all the professors and teachers who were on a business trip, on vacation, and who could help with the satellite project, were called back for a meeting.

The next day, some of the more capable students were also gently coaxed to school by their tutors.

In the school circle of Rongcheng, a news suddenly circulated: the South Machine Institute wants to build a rocket and send its own satellite to the sky.

The rumors spread with noses and eyes, but no one believed it, after all, everyone still knows what level of the South Machine Academy.

Rockets, satellites? Qingbei didn't dare to pack the tickets by himself, right?

But after a few days, the movement became bigger and bigger, and even the order for the purchase of gold foil and radiation-proof DSP chips by the Southern Institute of Machinery and Technology began to flow out, and the Rongcheng university community began to be suspicious.

Drag an acquaintance to inquire again, what? The rocket and satellite projects of the South Institute of Machinery have actually been approved??

In 2014, the state just issued an official document to allow private capital to enter the space market.

At this time, Ma Yilong's Falcon rocket had not been successfully recovered, but the country also saw the potential of private aerospace.

It's just that it is difficult to do aerospace in China, and at this time, several semi-official private aerospace companies began to be registered.

As a result, no one expected that the South Machine Institute jumped out and ate the first bite of crab?

The Southern Institute of Machinery also used this big project as a place to train the team, and transferred teachers and outstanding students with some ability to form groups in one go.

Unlike the factory, under the pressure and motivation of the school, each laboratory is at full power and does its best to work overtime.

Such a big movement has long been spread in the school forum, and the news that the South Machine Institute is going to heaven is already a real hammer.

The students of the Southern Institute of Machinery were excited, but several colleges and universities in Rongcheng were "surprised".
