On August 11, an ISS director, Antoine, flew to China to present special commemorative medals and a $1 million prize to the three astronauts.

Then the three astronauts decided to use the money to form a fund to join the Lunch Program in the impoverished mountainous areas of the Midwest.

Then Antoine came to Lin Ju to discuss the mission to send astronauts to the International Space Station in September.

According to the plan, the three people who will go up in September are from Lucia, Kazakhstan and Danmark, and will soon start bidding for the Soyuz, Dragon and Unity.

In fact, ISS member countries are also a little unbearable Lucia, the price of Soyuz spacecraft tickets has increased from $20 million in 2007 to $60 million per person in 2015......

Although the dollar is flooded, you Lucia can't be so dark, right?

So in 2011, NACA signed a manned transportation agreement with the Dragon spacecraft, but it has been afraid that stability will not be officially applied until 2020.

Now, in addition to the still excluded Huaguo Space Agency, ISS has finally opened a small opening for Xinyuan.

In fact, NACA also wants to save money, Ma Yilong's Dragon spacecraft is quoted as a 7-seater version of 25.5 million US dollars per person, but the price of H1 commercial launch is only 50 million US dollars for the whole aircraft, and it can send 5 people, which is too cheap.

The economies of Europe have been stagnant for many years, and there is a lot to be done here with a little saving......

Lin Ju told Antoine that Xinyuan will participate in the bidding, but the price of $50 million is the price of the Xinyuan 5 launch until October, and the price of the Xinyuan 2 launch is 130 million US dollars (the cost is RMB), and there are only five seats except for the commander, but the unit price is still as low as 26 million US dollars, and the price is also very good.

But whether it's $10 million or $26 million, it's a very good value.

Therefore, Lin Ju is not worried about his competitiveness at all, the Dragon spacecraft is not mature enough, and the manned flight may not be successful.

Antoine didn't get any promises of benefits in Xinyuan, but the mere fact that he was European would have been inclined to pull Xinyuan into the water.

……

On August 19, the Xinyuan-6 solid carrier rocket carried a 420-kilogram agricultural remote sensing satellite designed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences made its first flight, with a single launch price of 25 million yuan.

This satellite is the first space launch mission approved by the Aviation Development Commission, and the formal significance is still very important, Xinyuan-6 was launched at the launch site of the B-class base, and it took less than three hours from the time it was shipped out to the ignition.

However, what is impressive is that although the mass of Xinyuan-6 is less than 100 tons, because it is a solid rocket, the smoke column produced is exaggerated to much stronger than that of Xinyuan-2, and after launch, it is like a rope hanging from the sky, which can be clearly seen from several kilometers away.

At the time of launch, the first batch of thermal insulation tiles ordered by the military had just been sent away, and a scientist from a digital research institute who was traveling with him glanced at Xinyuan No. 6 and said out of professional habits:

"This missile should be able to throw 3 tons of six sub-warheads to 10,000 kilometers."

Well, the characteristics of small solid launch vehicles are indeed a bit like that, and the attention paid to this is far greater than that of giant rockets.

Fortunately, Xinyuan-6 is also used as a solid rocket technology reserve, and the recyclable rocket is not much cheaper than this.

At this time, it has been more than a month since the completion of the construction of the B-level base, but the current number of personnel in place is less than 700, but the production capacity that has been put into use has exceeded the original C-level base, and it has begun to replace the production of some things.

Ten kilometers away from the B-class base, Xinyuan carved a piece of land facing the river from here, and Huaguo Power Investment and Huaguang Nuclear Power jointly undertook the construction of the nuclear base.

The construction of this base is expected to be completed by this time next year, and now Cheng Nankai's nuclear propulsion team has begun the preliminary design, customizing some equipment and components to manufacturers, and Xinyuan's own production capacity is also very strong, and many key equipment can be solved by itself.

At the same time, Huaguo Power Investment adjusted its production plan and will produce 500 kg of fuel for the experimental reactor within eight months.

Also on this day, the packaging and testing of 4,200 X32035 chips with a process of 14nm manufactured by fully automatic silicon carbide chips in the first production cycle was completed and rolled off the assembly line, with an average daily output of 120 pieces and a yield rate of 99.6%, and only 22 pieces of performance were eliminated without meeting the standard.

Holding the X32035, which still had traces of organic liquid left after rinsing, Lin Ju carefully looked at this chip from another world.

The cost of this chip is not low, in addition to the money for purchasing raw materials, thousands of tons of pure water are consumed every day during operation, so there is a large area underground in the B-level base that is a water plant, responsible for purifying river water......

It's pretty much the same as a regular chip, with a dark black chip the size of two fingernails on the front of the PCB surrounded by more than a dozen exposed pins, and 2,187 contacts on the back that need to be soldered to the motherboard.

However, the internal structure is very different, it also has a core in the general sense, but the number is very large as 243, and the operating frequency fluctuates between 1.7Ghz and 2.4Ghz.

However, because the structural principle is different, it cannot be directly compared with the current mainstream CPU, which is meaningless, and can only say what advantages there are in a certain aspect.

In front of Lin Ju's face chip team, the engineer installed 8 X32035 on the motherboard that had been prepared a long time ago, which was also customized through the channel provider and was only suitable for ternary chips.

The original SC09 intelligent spaceship control system purchased from the system mall was read through the onboard storage particles, and a bunch of dense small words and red exclamation marks popped up after jumping out of the animation.

The engineer was not in a hurry, and connected it to the modified H1 simulator with a wiring harness, and after some debugging, SC09 took over the virtual H1, entered a concise page, and a chat box popped up:

"Please input instructions by text or voice (only Chinese and Mandarin are supported by default, please add other language packs manually)"

Lin Ju suddenly had a sense of déjà vu of a ChatGPT chatbot.

The engineer introduced to Lin Ju:

"When we sorted out and absorbed the SC09 code and ternary compilation, we found that it has built-in support for native Chinese, and has achieved a high degree of learning and intelligence, at that time we judged that it has very powerful AI capabilities, boss, you can try, now it is not networked and simulated in the simulation state, we are also the first time to contact the real SC09."

Lin Ju nodded and spoke into the microphone on the motherboard in an authentic Trump:

"Please introduce yourself and tell me what services you can provide."

SC09 replied with text and neutral voice at the same time, with almost no delay: "I am the SC09 type general aircraft control system, with strong AI and logic processing capabilities, you can give me any instructions on this aircraft, I will evaluate and give a solution, you can choose whether to execute or not, or you can grade the instructions, so that some instructions can be executed directly without asking for instructions."

Note: I detected that there is something abnormal in the data input of the aircraft, it may be a simulated device, you can help me confirm whether it is a real aircraft or a simulator, or you can ignore this information. ”

Lin Ju: !!

Obviously, all its data is directly input through the motherboard, theoretically replacing the sensors and buses on the real machine, how does it recognize the simulator?

He looked at the engineer, who was also a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he came up with an answer:

"The SC09 may have built-in judgment criteria and pre-stored information, and it is true that there is little information coming out as a simulator, but in any case, it does show that it has a strong judgment ability."

It takes a long time to wait until 12.05 to put it on the shelves, so it's only sent now, ask for the first order!
