"Today's news has ...... During the second manned mission of the International Space Station in 2015, the Lucia Soyuz TMA-17M spacecraft was suspected of being hit by a meteorite or space junk during the launch, causing the service module to catch fire.

In the only 10 hours of rescue time, under the leadership of the joint command composed of multinational space agencies, the H1 space shuttle manufactured by China's Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company, Tuanjie as the rescue spacecraft, carried three astronauts into the space, and went to carry out the rescue mission.

Deng Lei, Zhang Zhiguang, Li Sheng are all astronauts who have had a space experience, Zhang Zhiguang carried out China's first spacewalk mission, after the danger occurred, he enthusiastically signed up for the first time, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, and also ......

Seven hours after Operation Vostok began and three hours after the launch of Unity, all six astronauts landed safely, with good vital signs and no injuries.

The central government decided to award the three astronauts the honorary title of 'space heroes' and award special medals for this rescue mission, and the award ceremony will be held in the near future, and many countries will ......"

The central news on August 2 was extended for more than ten minutes, almost all of which were the content of the rescue operation, of course, the most worthy of which was the minute that Lin Ju appeared.

In the picture, Lin Ju stood with a group of engineers, and sent a serious message to the three astronauts, with a particularly positive image, and then reported that Xinyuan Company had become a model enterprise, and all the personnel involved in the rescue operation were rewarded to varying degrees.

On the Internet, Lin Ju is also famous, and the useless title of "Human Light" has joined a third party in the battle between NACA and SpecaX, and it seems to have become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Lao Ma tweeted his appreciation and support for this rescue operation, and also said that Chinese enterprises are actually freer than Aramco.

At the same time, it means that each subsequent launch of the second-generation Dragon spacecraft will carry rescue components, including robotic arms.

The importance of the space manipulator is vividly reflected in the local mission, and it is no wonder that the review of the space shuttle has reversed after the mission.

Although the space shuttle with large enough weight, stable enough, and able to use a robotic arm may indeed be expensive, it is still more reliable than a spacecraft in an emergency!

……

August 4, Beijing.

Cheng Nankai landed at the Capital International Airport with two young students and saw the sign held by the greeting staff.

Cheng Nankai, 39 years old, a student in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, School of Physical Science and Nuclear Engineering, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, went to Europe to study after graduating at the age of 23 and worked as a professor at the University of Bordeaux.

As a scientist in sensitive fields, there was no obstacle for him to return to China.

The reason is very simple: Cheng Nankai's level can only be regarded as average, the posture and emotional intelligence of the Chinese are still poor, and it is all up to relatives abroad to find a way to get a teaching position, and his own level can only be said to be mediocre, teaching students can, and his scientific research ability is not outstanding.

A person from the University of Bordeaux commented: "Cheng worked hard, but he obviously didn't have the little but vital inspiration needed for high-energy physics." ”

So after Xinyuan handed over the olive branch, he quickly decided to return to China, anyway, Lin Ju was willing to sign a 20-year guaranteed contract, and he was expected to retire after two years.

There were also two assistants from China who walked together, and Xinyuan also offered a high salary to retain.

According to the schedule, he was originally going to fly directly to Xinyuan, but because Lin Ju was in Beijing to attend the award ceremony, he decided to meet him and return together.

Sitting in the luxury business car, Cheng Nankai was actually very apprehensive.

He knows his level, and Xinyuan definitely didn't ask him to teach students, but if he engages in scientific research, he is destined to be the kind of person who does hard work, and there is no hope for him to pick up the big beam and innovate.

This salary is hot...... Turning his head to look at the two assistants, their faces were full of excitement and they thought that they were Maxima and met Bole, and they had no self-knowledge at all.

After driving the business car for a while, Cheng Nankai suddenly heard that it was very noisy outside, and after opening the window, he heard the driver say:

"The three aerospace heroes have just returned to Beijing, and in front of them are their floats, and the police cars are escorting them!"

Deng Lei, Li Sheng, and Zhang Zhiguang sat on the open-top float, wearing casual clothes, and kept waving to both sides.

The "Eastern Action" has been highly valued by the superiors, and has won a lot of initiative and discourse for the government's international exchanges, so it is natural to vigorously publicize it, and these three astronauts have indeed taken the honor, and no matter how exaggerated the style is, it is reasonable.

After disembarking, they were greeted by the space agency, then marched through the streets for a short period of time, and finally presented their medals in the General Assembly Hall.

Cheng Nankai was naturally not qualified to enter, so he waited in the hotel for three days, and only saw Lin Ju with a happy face late the next night.

Lin Ju is very happy, how happy is it?

First, he attended the award ceremony in the first row, and then was praised by name, and the leader in charge of awarding the award gave him the title of "model entrepreneur", and then had the opportunity to interview.

The result of talking with real people is different, all of Lin Ju's hopes: large-scale participation in the national space project, NAPE and A100 nuclear propulsion technology research, international business cooperation support, etc., are all discussed, simple and straightforward, and one thing can be finalized in a few minutes, without any formalities.

Although it is just to set the tone, but with a nod from above, this thing will definitely be done, but the specific arrangements need to be discussed.

Even if the exchange time for a few days did not exceed three hours, Lin Ju still gained a lot, broke all obstacles for Xinyuan, and made an exception to drink.

Back at the hotel, Lin Ju summoned two first-class system engineers Cheng Nankai and his two assistants together, threw out the nuclear propulsion research, and then saw Cheng Nankai's confused eyes.

The latter looked at the words "sodium-cooled neutron reactor" and "plasma confinement", although he could understand it, but he despaired just thinking about the amount of work.

He is not Bohr or Heisenberg, nor is he Einstein or Oppenheimer, so why does Lin Ju think he can get these horrible things in 36 months?

Lin Ju finally appreciated the time he and his two assistants had as ordinary humans, and then decisively used the upgrade card.

After 1 minute, the B+ Nuclear Physics/High Energy Physics Scientist in the Systems Research Institute is +1, and the B-level Nuclear Physics Engineer is +2.

"And now?"

Cheng Nankai felt a brain that had never been so clear, and only felt that his past self was stupid like a blind pig.

"In the case of complete technical information, I need the first investment of 8 billion yuan for infrastructure construction and preliminary preparation, the whole plan is expected to consume about 200 to 30 billion yuan, no less than 100 C+ level personnel, and need the full support of the entire research institute!"

Looking at the confident Cheng Nankai and the two young but B-level assistants, Lin Ju was very satisfied and happily agreed to his request.

Money, how can I get enough money in four years, if I don't have it, I will take out a loan, with his face, it should not be a big problem to get one or two hundred billion from the four major banks, but it is a big deal to be cheeky and go to the leader to hug his thighs.

When Lin Ju arranged the next stage of the task, there was also good news from the world.

After a battle of wits between NACA and members of Congress, Lindgren's protests everywhere, and Ma Yilong's financial support, Congress passed two resolutions at the same time:

1. Began supporting its own manned spacecraft program, with the goal of using Aramco spacecraft to replace Lucia's Soyuz Series in manned missions within two years, and NACA's budget was increased again to accelerate the reversal of the disadvantage in the space race.

2. The ISS will open up more missions to private space companies to improve efficiency, including Chinese companies, but only 100% private companies with no official background, who will be excluded from the Wolf clause, but will need to be specially vetted.

At the same time, NACA's ISS chief Montal announced that the original plan to send three more astronauts to the ISS on September 2 will be delayed, and that spacecraft other than Soyuz spacecraft may be considered for the mission;

The Alliance's TMA-17M accident investigation team will award special commemorative medals and a significant bonus to all six astronauts on this mission.

At the same time, a total of $200 million will be paid for the rescue of the Unity mission, including the rocket launch, the use of the space shuttle, the out-of-cabin activities of the three astronauts, and the services of supporting personnel.

The money was paid by the ISS member states, but the proportions were different, with Lucia contributing the most, followed by Aramco and the island nations, and the other member states were in the past.

Lin Ju didn't want to charge for the rescue, but the space agency suggested that he accept it, and now there is no need to rely on money to put pressure on public opinion, and the emergency launch mission is different from the general launch, and the figure of 200 million US dollars is not only reasonable, but even a little cheap.

But he doesn't value money very much, but is very concerned about the international manned space launch mission originally scheduled for September.

It is unlikely that the original Soyuz TMA-18M spacecraft will be used, so only the Dragon spacecraft of Lao Ma and the H1 space shuttle of Xinyuan can still undertake the mission.

Now, it's time to grab orders.
