The first mission rewarded the system with a lot of things, and the second time there was only a dry engine.

However, Lin Ju is not surprised, this system obviously has extremely high intelligence, and it may have had a certain degree of care before, but now it seems to be useless.

He was not surprised by the third mission, but the need to produce NPAE was somewhat unexpected according to the prompts, which meant that he had to find a way to add atomic energy to the research of Xinyuan Aerospace Power.

As for NPAE's technology, after Lin Ju clicked on the extraction, there was a bunch of hard disks in front of him, on which were written "design drawings", "technical parameters", "experimental data", "materials and processes", etc., which were much more complex than the previous technology in terms of senses.

These things were completely incomprehensible to Lin Ju, and he hurriedly summoned the system engineers.

Four system engineers, one B+ and three B-level, also have a numb scalp when they see a bunch of hard drives.

It took them four or five hours, and only a superficial glance at the catalog and brief technical descriptions, did they have a basic understanding of NPAE.

Guo Shen rubbed his sour eyes, put on his glasses again, and couldn't hide his exhaustion.

"Boss, NPAE...... It is a very powerful, very complex, and very difficult engine, which concentrates multiple directions such as nuclear energy, plasma, and gas tip, as well as quite a lot of new materials and processes, and if you want to produce it, this engine group alone needs a team of 1,000 people.

And all of them start at the D+ level, and at least one B+ level nuclear physicist is required to take the lead, and the development cost is ...... The upfront investment may be around 80 to 10 billion yuan. ”

Guo Shen's main business is engine design, while Anderov is good at spacecraft and rocket design, explaining the performance of NPAE to Lin Ju:

"The best thing about NPAE is that it uses fast neutron sodium-cooled reactors, which make the most of the energy and minimize the radiation, so that it can be used in the Earth's atmosphere without causing pollution, which is important; And both in the atmosphere and in the vacuum engine thrust is very good, and the use of methane, which is easy to store, is really rare.

I can design a landing spacecraft with 6 engines and a take-off weight of about 100 tons, which can carry 20 tons and 10 astronauts to take off from the surface into orbit; It can also be used as a lunar lander.

This means that from now on, space flight is no longer about throwing away something, and it can be returned and recycled as a whole. ”

Anderov said, picking up chalk and drawing on the blackboard in the small conference room:

"You see, in the future, we can have the landing spacecraft take off directly from the surface, fly to low-earth orbit by ourselves, combine with the orbital module there, use the fuel there to push the combination to the moon, descend, land on the moon, make methane on the surface of the moon, fill it up and fly again, combine with the orbital module and fly back to Earth.

Then break away and return to the surface without giving up anything at all! ”

He took a blackboard eraser to simulate a landing ship with NPAE installed, and in Lin Ju's imagination, the spaceship took off like in a science fiction movie, and returned with all its tails, and only needed to refill it with fuel a few times!

Lin Ju stood up excitedly and kept walking up and down the clearing, looking longingly at Anderov's stick figure on the blackboard.

He understood why Ma Yilong clung to his starship, except that the starship needed a booster on the ground to fly into space, the procedure and the lander using NPAE were similar, which was completely in line with human imagination of future spaceships!

"Do! We do NAPE! ”

Lin Ju's tone was extremely resolute, and he picked up the hard disk containing the data from the table and held it high in his hand:

"Relying on the current chemical energy rockets, we can only send small things with a mass of 1,300 tons of less than 50 tons, and the rockets launched on the ground can only send 3.5% of the weight into space, so that mankind will never enter the real space age!

We are an aerospace power company, the ratio is the future, the NPAE project should be launched as soon as possible, and within 48 months, we will use it to build a spacecraft to fly to the moon! ”

"The A100 will also be carried out at the same time."

Guo Shen said again.

“A100?” Lin Ju was a little puzzled, the thrust of NAPE is much higher than that of A100.

"NAPE is designed for planetary/satellite space travel with high thrust and high thrust-to-weight ratio;

The target of the A100 is a deep space spacecraft, although its own weight is more than 10 tons, but the specific impulse of 26,000 seconds is unique, 50 tons of fuel is only enough for 6 NAPE to fly to low earth orbit, but it can allow three A100 to take a 300-ton spacecraft to and from Mars, the specific impulse is the future. ”

He succeeded in convincing Lin Ju, who then set up a new mission in the Systems Research Institute:

[Task of the Institute: Master the NPAE production process and successfully manufacture qualified engines according to technical requirements.

Current Progress: 0%

The mission of the research institute: master the A100 production process and successfully manufacture a qualified engine according to the technical requirements.

Current Progress: 0%】

With the new task of the research institute in the system, the system engineers immediately accepted the task, and at the same time, Guo Shen looked at Lin Ju with a blank eye:

"Boss, sodium-cooled fast neutron reactors are very cutting-edge fission reactor technology in the world, and I suggest that it is best to have B+ level nuclear physicists take the lead, and more than three B-level nuclear physicists assist, but we can't recruit such physicists with our strength."

"Don't forget that we have skill cards! Don't think about money, money has to be spent to make a difference.

Although we can't recruit high-level physicists, we can go to low-level ones, there are many such people in Huaguo, and then use money to change intelligence, and use upgrade cards to create masters! ”

Talent? Will there be a shortage of talent with an upgrade card?

Lin Ju has an upgrade card in his hand, even a college student in nuclear physics can be forced to pile up to B+!

As for funding? It's okay to suffer the rich people who have gone to heaven.

"But conducting nuclear research requires ......"

"I'll fix it."

After the successful launch of Xinyuan-2, the space agency boss has hinted that it is possible to open sensitive areas, and Lin Ju will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of the Space Agency, Lin Ju sighed again, their family's big business needs to be adjusted, and it is fast to make a decision in ten days and half a month, and the efficiency of cooperation is really low.

……

In 2015, there is no longer the sensation of a few decades ago, but astronauts can still attract great attention.

The trio and Lin Ju received countless interview invitations, Lin Ju declined all but the next CCAV, and the trio didn't care, they could go as fast as they could.

But it's more of a commercial invitation, after all, astronaut endorsement advertising must be influential, and the national astronaut brigade is not good, but the astronauts of commercial companies can always do it, right?

Of course, the company must intervene in receiving commercial endorsements, otherwise it is a bad thing to affect the reputation in turn.

After the mission, Commander Deng Lei, as a professional astronaut, will continue to carry out follow-up flight missions, and the next life is probably a cycle of training, flying, and resting.

And since Xinyuan is only a professional astronaut, he may have a lot of flying experience.

Although there are still four pilots who will be trained to become professional astronauts before they change careers, the astronaut team has to fish people to the HD area in advance, and they will conduct astronaut training before changing careers, which can be regarded as a show of goodwill to Xinyuan.

But even so, Lin Ju is also selecting astronauts, but no longer from pilots, but from engineers.

Now that the mission has come to an end, it makes sense for so many engineers in the company to send a few to train, and the future space station and lunar base will depend on them.

After all, if we want to develop space in an all-round way, we must send professional and skilled personnel to it.

Zhou Rui and Zhao Xiaowen's arrangements are different, they will be kept in the form of preparation, life will return to normal but once a month training, ready to go to heaven at any time.

Zhao Xiaowen is younger, and he has been included in the research institute and is ready to upgrade his professional skills, and the dual-use of talents is not beautiful?

The Southern Institute of Mechanical Engineering is also preparing to erect statues and models for the two people and the Progress, and completely build itself into the cradle of the aerospace industry, but the former may not be willing to live the tree sculpture......
