Chapter 293: Nomination
It was the attending physician who examined Ye Changsi's body, and in his opinion, it was a miracle that this patient could wake up within 7 days after suffering a serious brain injury.
But it's okay, I heard that he is still a professor who went out to study in the 90s, and he is also a very powerful character, so it's a pity to lose.
Ye Changsi cooperated with the doctor to complete the examination, at this time his wound had basically healed, and the brain that he was most worried about did not seem to have any problems, and the doctor asked him to rest well and left.
Ye Changsi, 42 years old, went abroad to study in the 90s, engaged in spacecraft design related work at Rolls-Royce, was secretly recruited by Xinyuan two weeks ago to return to China on the grounds of sweeping his parents' graves, but accidentally fell down the stairs and injured the back of his head, and was at risk of high paraplegia and stroke.
Fortunately, after the rescue, he miraculously regained consciousness, which is of course a good thing in the eyes of outsiders.
But in fact, Ye Changsi knew that the real Ye Changsi had died, but it was a coincidence that although the surname was different, Changsi's name was the same as in his previous life.
He still remembers the guards trying to hold him as a cushion before the plane crashed, and he clung to his briefcase, hoping that the materials would not be lost.
Fortunately, he already knew that the crash had no catastrophic effects, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but it was a pity that the people who were on the same plane did not know if they had also encountered something great like himself.
Ye Changsi moved his head slightly, but he could still feel the pain, so he lay down carefully and began to rest and digest those strange experiences.
As for reporting to the base, just wait for the injury to heal, it's all peaceful and prosperous, and you should enjoy life.

"Nine astronauts from several countries will travel together to the International Space Station on January 21."
On January 3, a week after the Dream Chaser completed its first manned mission and returned safely, ISS officially announced that it would use the Dream Chaser to send nine astronauts to the ISS and bring back the same number of personnel, completing the largest handover of the ISS on January 21.
As for the commission launch fee...... Unannounced.
Yuri Borisov saw the news and felt terrible.
Although it was learned through the grapevine that many countries of ESA were very dissatisfied with the cost of the Dream Chaser's launch, they still pinched their noses and admitted it.
Because the price of using the Soyuz spacecraft to launch these nine astronauts is $522 million, even if the cost of a single launch of the Dream Chaser is seven times the claimed $69 million, it is less than $500 million, which is much cheaper than the Soyuz spacecraft.
Although Lucia has been compensated in other ways as a key member of the ISS, such as the planned replenishment mission to Lucia a few more times and the reduction of Lucia's ISS maintenance expenses for the next year, that is only a lot of money!
As long as ISS does not have its own high-security manned spacecraft, it will have to use the Soyuz all the time, and it will be able to charge a lot more!
But even without the good days of Lucia the Dream Chaser, there are only a few months left, SpecaX's Crew Dragon spacecraft has another test launch, and the first manned flight is planned for May, and in August, NACA's Artemis II mission will carry astronauts to orbit the moon, and Aramco will soon have two reusable manned spacecraft, both larger and more advanced than Soyuz spacecraft.
A large part of the reason why Director Yuri felt bad was the progress of the restart of Energy 2.
The booster is okay, the gliding recovery booster of Energy 2 has already made samples, and it can basically be used immediately, which is very good.
The bad part is that the core stage of Energy 2 has an 8-meter-diameter recyclable rocket body, which requires a heat-insulating tile to be laid around the body like a space shuttle, and after being launched into orbit, it has to glide into the atmosphere and land on its own.
Although it is technically required to lend money because it does not carry people, cost control is still a troublesome matter, and the upper end of the core stage can be opened, and the seams are also very demanding.
Micklin, as the chief engineer of Energy 2, has gathered all the research materials of the alliance period, there are no technical obstacles, the problem is still money, and more than 15 billion rubles must be invested in the early stage, and the timing of the first flight is not guaranteed.
Even if she can get a lot of wool from the island country and India, it is still difficult for Lucia, who has already carried out several projects, and the funds are obviously tight.
I can only hope to pit some money in other areas and support RKA's aerospace career.

"Oh my God, what time I've wasted, Sukka! Britt! ”
Moscow State University, Valery flipped through the textbooks on ternary basic circuits and programming that had been published in China, surprised and annoyed at the same time.
He has never asked about the world, missed precious time, and did not read these things in the first place.
There are also various journals and academic papers continuously published by Xinyuan and Huanghe Semiconductor, although they are all basic parts, they can already make people ecstatic and let people know that the future of the ternary system is as broad!
There were also several old men of similar age who reacted to him, all of whom were researchers who participated in the research of the Alliance's ternary computer technology, and who were still alive and gathered here.
Also present were European and Aramco IC and software experts, who also wanted to find a breakthrough from Lucia.
Valery spent more than two days superficially going through the results of the ternary chip that was made public, which is much better than his closed-door work.
He sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that the further content was in the Journal of Aerospace Development in China, I would have liked to keep reading, and giving up ternary research was Lucia's most wrong decision, and we should continue." ”
A semiconductor expert from Germany nodded, he also likes to toss some other base circuits in private, and was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of ternary chips.
"Even if the content has been made public, the ternary chip is enough to win the Nobel Prize in physics, and its significance is no less than the invention of integrated circuits, which is an extremely important breakthrough."
"But as far as I know, the Nobel Prize judging panel is still struggling with who is the inventor."
“……”
Valery found that it was difficult to find a specific leader in these journals, most of them were laboratory teams, but if this was the case, the Nobel Prize in Physics could only be awarded to three people every year, and it would take several years, and it was estimated that they were also worried.
At this time, the official from Aramco asked.
"Professor Valery, let's get back to the topic, what do you think is the difference between the technical route of Yellow River Semiconductor and your research route, and which one is better?"
Valery hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"I can't make a judgment, although they are all symmetric ternaries, but the research of the alliance is still in the early stage and has not entered the integrated circuit stage, but I think the direction at that time was correct, and the potential is no less than theirs."
"That is, we can't get around these patents, or overtake in corners?"
"No, some of the basics are hard to get around."
The other shook his head regretfully.
"It's too bad to hope that the pressure will bring some breakthroughs.
But Professor Valery, we will still fund your research and hopefully one day there will be good news. ”
Valery: "Then I'm afraid you'll have to work harder, I'm almost 70 years old, but I'm still confident that I'll continue." ”
