Chapter 426 Just lie down and worry less
After Professor Ye left, Kang Chi did not rush to leave, but took this opportunity to talk to Li Xinqiang about the chief engineer of the moon landing, which was briefly mentioned at the award ceremony last time.
”…Helium-3 on the moon is a real controllable nuclear fusion fuel, and mining helium-3 on the moon is an urgent matter, so it’s not that I have no interest in the moon, but I prefer to do it myself according to my own company’s model. The position of chief engineer of manned lunar landing is probably not suitable for me.”
After saying his thoughts, Kang Chi immediately asked: “And I don’t know if you have heard that I have developed some robots before…”
”Well, I know this!”
Although the confidentiality level of war robots is very high, Li Xinqiang, a big man in the aerospace research community, is definitely qualified to know.
Last time, when the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology were explaining to Li Xinqiang how to install and use quantum communication chips, they also demonstrated the robot called “Harvester” on site. Li Xinqiang still remembers what happened that day, because he has never been so shocked in his life.
Whether it is the robot itself or its core quantum communication chip, it is definitely a leap forward in modern technology.
Especially, the communication problem solved by quantum communication chips can enable military aircraft and ships to communicate more covertly, safely and efficiently, and can also unscrupulously block and interfere with the enemy in the entire frequency band…
However, it cannot be said to be unscrupulous. Quantum communication solves the communication problem, but it cannot solve the problem of positioning and navigation. At present, in order to solve the navigation problem in the electromagnetic interference area, the military adopts the method of navigation relay, that is, leaving a “locator” responsible for tracking friendly targets outside the interference area, and then telling the friendly party its position in real time through quantum communication. Because tracking can only use relatively primitive methods such as optics and heat sources, the interference area is too large, and multiple “locators” must be set up to relay, so as to ensure that the friendly party can maintain a certain navigation function in the full-band blocking interference area.
As for the enemy, they become blind and deaf in this environment.
Without communication, there is no communication. Without navigation, you don’t even know where your home is, let alone find the enemy.
If a fighter enters such an area, it can only fly aimlessly. If this interference area also has a “tracking attribute”…
The final outcome of this fighter is either to run out of fuel and crash into the sea, or to find a random visible flat ground for forced landing, with a high risk of fried chicken!
It is precisely because electronic warfare is smokeless and no shots are fired during the entire process, so this kind of “actual combat” actually happened frequently in Nanhai before, and it can even be said that both sides fought “unscrupulously”. After all, there is no such thing as “who fired the first shot”. This is like two people shaking hands and secretly competing with each other. It is really cool to win, and it is really painful to lose.
But on the surface, everyone is still smiling, just constantly “getting to know” each other again in their hearts.
To be honest, the international definition of war is outdated. There are too many forms of modern and future wars. It is not necessary for bombs to fall on people’s heads and turn into a hot war. What many people think of as peace is actually just an appearance. In many invisible places, even brains may be beaten out…
In short, quantum communication plays a huge role in the field of military communications, and it can be said to be a cheat for spacecraft.
Take the disappearance of Lucy as an example. In fact, it is essentially the intelligent program’s insufficient ability to handle emergencies. If there is no one-hour delay in its communication with the earth, the command center may be able to avoid accidents through manual control.
Therefore, after the initial mass production of quantum communication chips of Dahan Xinye, the supply priority of the aerospace industry is actually higher than that of the military.
Since June last year, all rockets and probes launched by China Aerospace have actually used quantum communication chips.
The actual use experience is simply amazing!
The only regret is that the data transmission capacity of a quantum communication chip is only 4TB, and the durability is not high.
So now they either install a few more, or even dozens of them, or use them together. Traditional communication is responsible for transmitting data with low importance, large volume, and long-term stable transmission requirements, while quantum communication chips are mainly responsible for processing important flight, orbit change, docking and other data involving control and safety.
It is precisely because he knew how terrible this thing was that Li Xinqiang lost his temper when he heard that Kang Chi was the first to win the award at the award ceremony.
The results that this guy has already announced are already exaggerated, not to mention the things he has done secretly.
If he is willing to engage in aerospace, I wonder what kind of surprises he will bring to China…
Li Xinqiang’s expectations for Kang Chi to join the moon landing project are simply too high. Now that he heard that Kang Chi politely rejected the moon landing project, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
However, when he heard the word “robot”, he vaguely guessed Kang Chi’s thoughts.
“Do you think that with this kind of remote-controlled robot, there is no need for manned moon landing?”
”About the same.” Kang Chi nodded, “If you don’t care about the historical significance, sending this kind of robot to the moon is much more cost-effective and safer. The key is that this thing doesn’t need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate. As long as the charging problem is solved, it can basically have unlimited battery life. There are so many things it can do after sending it to the moon…”
”And in terms of historical significance, the second successful manned moon landing doesn’t seem to be something to be obsessed with. We might as well take it step by step and send some robots to explore the way first. Before sending people up, we should build a three-bedroom and one-living room for people to live in, right? Our astronauts are all treasures. They can’t live too shabby when they go to a place so far away from home, right? And with the aerospace strength of other countries, maybe the second place will still be ours by then, so there’s no need to rush.”
Li Xinqiang: “…”
Good guy, I’m thinking about whether we can send people to the moon and come back safely.
You are just thinking about whether the astronauts will live comfortably on the moon?
Three bedrooms and one living room? Why don’t you talk about the villa with a swimming pool on the moon?
The key is that Kang Chi’s serious expression doesn’t seem to be joking with him at all…
Li Xinqiang hesitated for a moment before speaking: “The country is actually very open to the aerospace field, and has even been encouraging private enterprises to engage in aerospace research and development. It’s just that domestic capital is not very interested in this field that doesn’t see much profit in the short and medium term, so there has been no improvement.”
”It’s okay for you to use the company’s power to land on the moon. Even if you put aside your personal influence and replace someone else, the higher-ups will definitely support you vigorously. If you need help from our Aerospace Science and Technology Group, you can also find us.”
”In addition, in fact, your idea of taking a steady step, I also had it after seeing your robot. This is actually just adding some preliminary support work to the manned lunar landing project, or disrupting the planned sequence of the lunar landing project, turning the construction plan of Guanghan Palace and the lunar landing into parallel plans…”
At this point, Li Xinqiang suddenly paused. “Well… I suddenly have an idea. How about I discuss it with the leader first and talk to you about it tomorrow?”
”Okay.” Kang Chi nodded, “Anyway, I have to wait until the Tianwen-2 thing is settled before I go back.”
”Okay, I won’t send you off if you have a driver. Let’s have a simple meal together next time when we are free.”
”No problem!”
After watching Kang Chi and Chen Hai leave, Li Xinqiang immediately made a phone call, and then went to the National Space Administration with Shi Lifei, the chairman of Aerospace Science and Technology.
Director Ge, who was in a meeting, quickly ended the meeting after receiving Li Xinqiang’s call, and then returned to the office to wait for them. When he saw the secretary bringing the two people in, he immediately stood up and asked Li Xinqiang: “Academician Kang really came to see you?”
Li Xinqiang nodded, and first told Director Ge about Lucy’s disappearance and the diversion of Tianwen-2.
“Well… since Academician Kang attaches so much importance to it, and this matter is indeed a bit abnormal, it is not impossible to temporarily change the target of Tianwen-2… As long as Professor Ye’s calculation results are correct, I will immediately go to Chief Engineer Zhang to do ideological work. Academician Li…”
Before Director Ge finished speaking, the landline rang. After answering the call, he immediately smiled: “Speaking of the devil, Academician Li happened to be talking about you in my office… Yes, I know, OK, OK, as long as you have no objection, I agree here, OK, then let’s do this first… By the way, don’t forget to submit a written application.”
After hanging up the phone, he immediately looked up at Li Xinqiang: “Chief Engineer Zhang took the initiative to propose the change of route. It seems that Professor Ye is more anxious than us.”
Li Xinqiang immediately smiled: “That’s good.”
Although the temporary change of the exploration plan of Tianwen-2 is also a big deal, it can actually be solved with a phone call. There is no need for these two big guys to speciallyDirector Ge immediately asked, “Besides this, is there anything else?”
Li Xinqiang nodded: “It’s about my previous proposal to let Academician Kang serve as the chief engineer of the moon landing.”
Director Ge was overjoyed and said, “Did he accept it?”
”No.”
”That’s good…eh? Wait, you said no?”
”Yes, he refused.”
”Why?” Director Ge couldn’t help but said with some disappointment, “He still wants to do military industry?”
”It shouldn’t be. His drone aircraft carrier plan is now waiting for Chief Engineer Ren’s aircraft carrier to be launched, and the overall situation of Liu Chief has been decided, so this matter is not urgent. He There should be time to work on aerospace engineering next time, but he still wants to do it by his own company…”
After briefly relaying Kang Chi’s thoughts, Li Xinqiang finally expressed his thoughts: “In fact, I think the difference is not that big. We don’t need to be obsessed with who the chief engineer of the moon landing is, let alone whether the moon landing project is completed by our Aerospace Science and Technology Group. After all, we are all one family…”
”We can completely learn from NASA and outsource the project to him directly. Otherwise, if we work on the moon landing and he also works on the moon landing, wouldn’t that be a duplication and waste?”
When he heard that Kang Chi was interested in aerospace development, Director Ge was so excited.
Especially the idea of building a three-bedroom and one-living room house and then sending people up, it was just too much for his appetite! However, Li Xinqiang’s suggestion made him feel a little embarrassed.
Engineering outsourcing is indeed a good model, but the problem is that the party A of the engineering outsourcing usually has its own engineering design drawings, and the contractor can only build according to the party A’s design.
And Kang Chi is obviously the kind of person who has his own ideas and likes to do things in his own way…
But if he is free to play, what kind of contract is that?
At most, he is an investor.
The problem is again, Kang Chi does not seem to be short of money…
His company and projects have never been invested by anyone who wants to invest.
With his record, it is investment to put it nicely, and it is picking peaches to put it bluntly.
Therefore, unless Kang Chi takes the initiative to propose it, no one dares to take the initiative to ask for investment, especially their state-owned assets, which can easily cause controversy.
Shi Lifei looked at Director Ge’s embarrassed expression and guessed that he was thinking the same thing as himself, so he took the initiative to speak to Li Xinqiang: “Academician Li, I think you are worrying too much…”
”You just said that Academician Kang’s goal is to collect helium 3 on the moon, which has a strong commercial purpose and nature. This involves commercial interests. I think it’s better not to make it too complicated. Besides, our lunar exploration project is relatively simple. It is a scientific research task to send people up. This is just a small project in General Kang’s plan.”
”Well… what do you mean?”
”I suggest that we suspend our lunar landing plan directly and support his plan from the policy and industry perspectives.” Shi Lifei said with a smile, “Once he really builds a base on the moon, can he not let our people live there? At most, we can pay him for the car fare and accommodation fee… Isn’t this much easier than doing it ourselves?”
Li Xinqiang: “…”
”In fact, even if we don’t pay for the car fare and accommodation fee, he will definitely send people there. Otherwise, who will live in the three-bedroom apartment he built? Why do robots need to live so well?” After listening to Shi Lifei’s words, Director Ge couldn’t help but add with a smile, “And as long as he sends a Chinese astronaut, then our moon landing plan will be completed without spending a penny!”
Li Xinqiang: “…”
Good fellow, You two have even thought of the lying position, right? ! !
