Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Zhuang is a patient with "acrophobia" known to senior executives of United Technologies Corporation, so his statement "I want to go to space" at the end of May was ridiculed for a long time.

    "Our new medicine is very effective. You will be fine if you take it," Guobao said seductively, but the computer expert shook his head like a rattle.

    "Daniel, our research is very solid. You see that there are no serious problems with so many genetic drugs on the market. I think you can try it," Zaitsev said.

    "Really?" Li Zhuang hesitated, and informed Zaitsev two days later that he had chosen to give up. No one could make him choose to take genetic drugs.

    When the chairman, who is uncomfortable even flying, wants to be lazy, he often goes to the Xinwei Space Center 200 kilometers away to see the strange things. Although he is only an enthusiast in this field and has no time to study it.

    Under the hard work of the Personnel Department and the guidance of researchers, the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute has successfully grown to more than 9,000 people. The wlae Aerospace Division is actually an affiliated factory of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.  Lizhuang's plan is very big. It separated the Aerospace Industrial Park from the beginning, but it is still managed by the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.  As for when we will be truly independent, that is not something that computer experts can know. Even Andreev, the acting dean, has no idea.

    The core of a rocket is the engine, and its technical content is so high that even ordinary people know it.  Designing rockets is not difficult for veterans from the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology. They have rich experience, but engines are different. In fact, the core of all aircraft is on the engine.

    Since Andreev officially joined the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology two years ago, he has suggested that the company purchase the rd-180 liquid oxygen kerosene engine and the rd-0120 hydrogen-oxygen engine from Russia. The former has a vacuum thrust of 423 tons and a sea level thrust of 390 tons.  The vacuum thrust can reach 200 tons.

    The rd-180 is considered the world's best liquid oxygen kerosene high-pressure supplementary combustion engine, with mature design, energy saving and adjustable thrust.  Russia will definitely not sell more advanced engines. Even Citigroup can only get the rd-180, and other countries don't even have to think about it.

    Li Zhuang did a very thorough job. He has something that RSA is interested in. The rd-180 manufacturer is a subsidiary of RSA, so the exchange is not difficult.  rsa is not good, because the level of advancement and technical content in the AI ??field is no less than that of rocket engines.

    Both sides have concerns. A quarter of the researchers from the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology are from Russia. They are familiar with RSA, but they don¡¯t know much about it.  The former Soviet Union spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources on these engines. Many of the researchers inherited their father's work and did not dare to raise too high requirements.  rsa is worried about how to raise conditions, because B-class smartphones are different from ordinary smartphones. The level of wai is obvious to all, and the stability of the ordinary smartphones launched is higher than that of other forces.  Both wai and wlfs are the largest groups in the industry. There are 100,000 senior researchers behind them to support this system. The annual salary expenditure alone exceeds 30 billion US dollars, not to mention the numerous benefits.

    Russia is a big country and has never thought about obtaining real smartphone technology from other big countries. United Technologies is their only chance.  Bai made an exchange request, but Moscow did not buy it because their technology was stolen and was not perfect.  Besides, although China is in chaos now, its foundation is still there. It will definitely get back on its feet in ten or eight years. Moscow¡¯s brain is not wet.

    RSA does not lack aerospace technology, it lacks money, and it lacks convenient tools. Another object restricted by the Tokyo Agreement is Russia. Australia does not lack money and sharp tools, but it lacks cutting-edge technology in the aerospace field.

    United Technologies¡¯ technology reserves can be seen from its sudden and explosive growth, and the number of patents it holds is staggering.  rsa has been in tentative contact with Sunway since February last year. The negotiations between the two parties were very tiring. One wanted to make a request but did not know how to make the request, while the other knew that what he wanted was a valuable item.  Moscow wisely did not intervene. The intelligence of politicians cannot be underestimated. They only made requirements for the rsa delegation to try to get these technologies, but there were no restrictions because Moscow's consulting team was also in the dark.

    The procrastinating negotiations began to speed up with the addition of experienced experts from the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute. On New Year's Day, Li Zhuang couldn't bear it any more and decided to speak openly and let rsa list what he wanted. Then he would evaluate it again and see if B-level smart phones could be eliminated.  What else is there besides the brain?  Russia wants a lot of things, but obviously the weight of these two engines is not enough, and both sides get what they need.  Technical people don't like to talk nonsense like business or political negotiations. If you talk nonsense about technical things, you will be looked down upon, and it is useless no matter how thick-skinned you are.

    The negotiations ended before the Spring Festival. The two sides finalized a list of more than 700 key technologies, and United Technologies also provided a new $10 billion in assistance to RSA.

    In May, Russia established a new organization, codenamed rai, to officially join the artificial intelligence community. A full set of information related to AI is provided by waiIntermediate version, Russia gained a lot.  Since rai's brains are used domestically and are not sold abroad, the "Tokyo Agreement" Secretariat is working hard to find loopholes on both sides.  The Russian fsb is strong, and the United Technologies Corporation's internal affairs department is also relatively solid in its work, and no one has caught it yet.

    Negotiations involving the proliferation of key technologies are always a dead end.  From February to May, according to reports from the Sixth Overseas Bureau of Investigation, the FSB made frequent dispatches, and it is estimated that nearly ten high-level spies were arrested.  At United Technologies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security uncovered three senior spies who had been lurking for a long time in three months.  The biggest incident was the Sydney bombing.

    The target person has been collecting information on this negotiation, and obtained some of the information by bribing lawyers involved in the negotiation from the Legal Department.  He was very careful, and the bulletproof car he rode in used the nano-alloy composite armor introduced by United Technologies Corporation.  Laser weapons consume a lot of energy, and only United Technologies Corporation can use high-energy laser weapons in Australia.  Ordinary weapons cannot penetrate the high-protection composite armor. The Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security had no choice but to use the electromagnetic gun mg1 developed by the Military Industrial Research Institute. The specially prepared projectile hit the target and ignited a fire, causing the target's car to explode.  This bizarre explosion was hyped up over and over by the media. Fortunately, the company's tail was not caught.

    Regarding this mg1, Li Zhuang asked Chen Xiaojun, and his answer was "It has high accuracy and great power, but it is a bit expensive and the recoil is too strong. Fortunately, it is relatively gentle. If it were a gunpowder weapon, my bones would probably be shattered."

    The flywheel battery used with mg1 works well, but the energy group has no idea of ????bringing it to the market for the time being. The cost of using it in cars is one thing, and how to maintain the stability of the battery needs to be thought about.  This thing is used a lot within the company. It is used as a backup power source for the newly built laser towers. It is also used in the hundreds of wind power stations established by the energy group in the four cities under the company's jurisdiction.

    Safety issues are handled by relevant agencies. The Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology is very pleased to see the complete set of information on rd-180 and rd-0120.  The negotiations for the nk33 that Andreev hoped to obtain have ended. There is no hope of obtaining this top-level medium-thrust engine, so he decided to develop it himself.

    The design of the new rocket was completed at the end of April, and the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute quietly began to assemble the rocket.  The rocket is called nwww.piaotia.comwww.piaotia.com, with a vacuum thrust of 12,450kn, a leo carrying capacity of 25 tons (low-Earth orbit), and a gto carrying capacity of 7.5 tons (geosynchronous orbit).

    The data of nwr-122 has not improved much compared with Russia's back then, and the thrust is also much smaller.  Launch vehicle and manned space projects are one of the most complex, technologically advanced and difficult grand projects.  It usually takes six years to design a mature launch vehicle. United Technologies is at the forefront of major forces in terms of modular technology and engineering management, but it still took two years to imitate the rocket with ease.

    The Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology does not have much practical experience. The data comes from Citi, Russia and China, so it is always right to be cautious.  The Rocket Research Institute established after the institute's adjustment has no grand plans. Director of the Rocket Research Institute, Dr. Kulu Williams, believes that as long as the early plans can be completed, it is enough. Chemical rockets are not cost-effective.  The Rocket Research Institute has two rocket designs. One is used for the launch of small satellites and probes, code-named nwww.piaotia.comwr-1 series, with up to three stages.

    The more stages a rocket has, the more boosters are bundled, and the more difficult quality control becomes. There are no shortcuts in this field.  Andreev believes that it is a top priority to thoroughly understand the technology of rd-0120 and develop new hydrogen-oxygen rocket engines, especially rocket engines for upper stages.  Russia suffered a disadvantage back then because it did not pay much attention to the hydrogen-oxygen engine, resulting in the N1's payload being smaller than the Saturn V.

    Andreev's father participated in the development of N1. Frequent disassembly due to traffic problems made the rocket prone to failure. The complex engine group also complicated the design of the pipelines for transporting propellant. This extremely fragile structure led to the final result of N1.  The main culprit of failure.

    Andreev is an expert, so Li Zhuang naturally adopted his opinion. The purpose of building an aerospace industrial park near the space center is to avoid the transportation problems faced by the United States and Russia, and to manufacture larger-diameter rockets at once.  In terms of rocket engines, the Joint Meeting of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institutes has made plans to develop a high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen engine series and a liquid oxygen-kerosene engine series. The required technologies will be listed and will be coordinated by other research institutes.

    The idea of ????the company's senior management is to gradually test, and finally improve the technology to the same level as Russia, and reduce the launch cost to the limit.  The aerospace plane has been established as a project by the Aerospace Vehicle Research Institute. Currently, only basic research can be carried out. Developing a formal aerospace plane and reaching NASA's level cannot be completed in the short term.

    The effect of joining a large number of experienced people is very obvious. nwww.piaotia.comwr-122 has actually combined the strengths of Russia, Citigroup and China.?It is not inferior to the level of other major aerospace countries, and there is only a certain gap between the two leading countries, Citigroup and Russia.

    The problem is not big now. Russia has no money. Citigroup, which originally liked to spend money randomly, is now in a state of austerity. It will be difficult to recover in the short term.

    Li Zhuang really wants an ion engine. Unfortunately, NASA has been researching it for decades, but it has not been able to achieve sufficient thrust. The current progress of the ion engine laboratory is acceptable, and the theoretical research on nuclear-powered rockets has kept up with the international advanced level.

    The rocket¡¯s modules and fuel are already ready, just waiting to be assembled.  The extensive application of automated equipment has significantly reduced the difficulty of parts production, assembly and final assembly testing. The final assembly of rockets adopts the popular vertical assembly model, which is no different from that of other major countries.

    The main control brains of the rocket assembly plant are Seventeen Vicky and Twenty Horns. They will control the expert system developed by the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute based on the technical parameters provided by the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology for the testing, assembly and fueling of various parts and modules.  testing and filling, etc.

    The masterminds of the Xinwei Space Center are Nineteen Vicky and Twenty-one Speakers. Nineteen Vicky directs various robots to cooperate with the work of the experts. Twenty-one Speakers are responsible for security and diversion.  Eighteen Vicky and Twenty-two Speakers are the security masterminds of the Aerospace Industrial Park, while Twenty-three Speakers and Twenty-five Speakers control the production and processing of the entire Aerospace Industrial Park.

    The Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute has gathered the largest intelligent brain cluster of United Technologies Corporation, covering all aspects to improve the stability and reliability of the aircraft as much as possible. Each project team is equipped with two wai502 units under the unified command of 16 Vicki  , to facilitate researchers to use various ultra-precision experimental expert systems developed by the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.

    These intelligent brains were added gradually, and researchers gradually became accustomed to an environment where intelligent life is everywhere.  Mainstream aerospace powers are stepping up the development of new spacecraft. They have little time and rarely leave Xinwei City.  The reason why rsa was willing to pay such a high price was to obtain a complete set of B-class intelligent brain technologies. The research and development progress they saw when they visited the Xinwei Space Center was the key to their determination.

    Citigroup¡¯s internal interests are complicated, so NASA ordered two tens of millions of smart computers from hsai for auxiliary research.  According to media reports, Hsai¡¯s quotation was US$10 billion per unit, and the price obtained by cia was no less than US$8 billion.  Intelligent brain's after-sales service is very cumbersome, and hsai actually doesn't make much money, but this has made NASA, an organization that usually spends money like water, very overwhelmed.

    United Technologies' V-class intelligent brain, auxiliary computing server and storage system are all produced in-house. The hardware purchase price is 300 million Australian dollars. The software cost or price is Li Zhuang's more than ten years and his increasingly robotic behavior.  model, plus the salaries of thousands of researchers in high-performance brain laboratories.

    The reduction and improvement of each module requires enough time. If Vicky, a fat girl of 60 or 70 tons, wants to become a slender girl with only a few tons, it cannot be done in a short period of time.  Smartphones are a game for people with high IQs. After the artificial intelligence research institute has expanded its recruitment, there are still less than 10,000 researchers, and there are less than 200 people who are truly capable of engaging in core research.

    The hardware cost of hsai is at least twice as high, and the software cost is currently unknown. It will only be higher than in Australia. After all, the system is different. The actual salary expenditure of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is far lower than the level imagined by the outside world.  It would be impossible for NASA to equip the entire system used by the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute within five years.  Research on tens of millions of brains and above is full of difficulties. Dr. Luke McCauley, the boss of hsai, is a customer of United Technologies' pure natural hair growth serum.

    Li Zhuang¡¯s superstition left Lisa speechless and said more than once that he went too far.  The researchers don't know the nickname of Vicky's intelligent brain, but Lisa knows that she sometimes accompanies Li Zhuang to chat with her smart home.

    Li Zhuang would rather be a little more superstitious, six, seven, eight, nine, the next one is ten, everything will fall into place.  Spaceflight is a high-risk field, and just the slightest flaw is enough to cause the launch to fail.  The property damage is small. If there are manned flights in the future, the lives and training costs of astronauts cannot be ignored casually.  He originally wanted to use Baweiji and Jiuweiji to control the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, but Han Shumei and He Xiuwen had to give up after they tormented him for a long time.  Andreev knew the nickname of the V-level brain. He could speak Chinese and felt the same way.  In the field of aerospace, worship of God is required, and only a pervert would think that everything is under control.

    "Man can conquer nature, that's a luxury hope, and it's just a slogan.  If you really want to win, how about you drive the sun away?  Small creatures like humans must learn to maintain enough respect for nature, otherwise divine punishment will come sooner or later.

    The satellite launched by the rocket was developed by the Satellite Laboratory. It is a low-orbit reconnaissance satellite, code-named Utas001. It is equipped with solar panels, ultra-large-capacity carbon nanotube capacitor batteries and small ion engines, all integrating the most advanced technology of United Technologies Corporation.

    Assembly is in progress with engines supplied by rsa?In the test, the swing engine, swimming engine and attitude control engine of the flight attitude control were tested to run normally, the flight control instruments were normal, and the 300,000 integrated intelligent brain equipped for the nwr-122 could perfectly grasp all parameters of the rocket operation.  .

    The simulated launch was carried out on the launch vehicle simulation operation platform developed by the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. This is the first time that United Technologies has launched a high-thrust launch vehicle. The entire test is expected to last until August.

    After Li Zhuang visited the rocket assembly factory accompanied by Andreev, he returned to the office. He came here just to wander around.  The Xinwei Space Center is the furthest place where the United Technologies Corporation's security system can be perfectly controlled. He visits here every time he travels.

    Jackson called halfway and said that the Citi Air Force announced the first super-light test in human history. The aerospace plane and the Ares V launch vehicle will bring the engine components, hull and fuel that make up the spacecraft into space within four months.  Assembled in vacuum.

    Li Zhuang hung up the phone and immediately called Zhou Qisen to tell him about the matter and asked, "Is this a ploy by politicians to divert attention? Washington can't handle it now."

    The other side pondered for a moment, not sure, "It's hard to say, but the Citi Air Force expressed interest in superluminal research more than ten years ago. They have a lot of military expenditures, so there should be results by now, otherwise the researchers will definitely give up."

    "Haha, this is an interesting project. I don't know how it will end. NASA is not a vegetarian. It is best for both sides to fight to make Washington busier," the computer expert cursed maliciously.
