Chapter 448 Machine tools Electric propulsion ESA experts

The audience burst into extremely warm applause, and everyone was stunned by Luo Jia's space elevator plan. Compared with powerful space elevators, rockets, space shuttles, satellite networks, these seemingly unattainable space technologies are simply weak, okay?

Human beings have proved as early as 1969 that they have the ability to enter space, but why is space still an unattainable dream for humans to this day?

The reason is very simple, because the cost of going to space once is too expensive!

If you spend tens of billions of dollars just to hear and show off in front of your compatriots on earth, Luo Jia will not do this kind of face-saving project.

He proposed the space elevator plan to turn the space industry into a set of industries and use the profits generated by space development to support the long road of the stars and seas.

The scientists of the Brainstorming Group cheered. Luo Jia's plan was obviously not to compete for the limelight with North America, but to truly develop the universe. Once successful, it will continue to bring surprises and blessings to humans on Earth in the next few hundred years, or even thousands of years...

Without surprise, the Space Elevator Project was approved unanimously by the Brainstorming Group and received unprecedented support.

Everyone praised this plan. The straight men were so excited that they almost mad. In order to realize their dream of the stars and seas in their lifetime, they immediately began a long and busy preparation.

...

In Shanghai, less than 30 minutes’ drive from the headquarters of Star Technology Baoshan, China Commercial Aircraft Corporation.

After Luo Jia and Li Moran got off the car, they were personally welcomed by COMAC chief engineer Du Liangyu and president Li He.

"How is it? Are we still used to using the new version of CFD software?" Li Moran asked with a smile.

Xingchen Technology is the largest software supplier of COMAC Group. From computational fluid mechanics to three-dimensional industrial design, COMAC uses domestic software. The former chief software supplier, Dassault Group, has long been swept into the garbage dump of history. Facts have proved that the arrogant and lazy French people have no combat power compared to Xingchen Technology.

"It's used to be used, it's used to be used." Du Liangyu hurriedly said: "This revision has added many practical functions, especially the third-generation artificial intelligence, which has helped us greatly improve our efficiency."

They chatted all the way and came to workshop No. 3, and saw brand new seven-axis linkage robot arms arranged in sequence to form a fully automatic production line.

The seven-axis linkage large machining center and the seven-axis linkage robot arm are all new products just launched by Xingchen Technology. So far, Xingchen Technology's layout in the field of high-precision industrial machine tools has basically been completed.

Out of importance to the aviation industry, COMAC is the first company approved to purchase machine tools.

Yes, the machine tools and robotic arms produced by Xingchen Technology are not available for money, especially robotic arms, because they have strong mechanical replacement artificial attributes. Once the factory invests a large number of robotic arms, production line workers will be unemployed every minute, so they are strictly restricted from selling in order to retain enough jobs for ordinary people.

Engineers at COMAC have praised Xingchen Technology's machine tools and robotic arms. Because of the use of ultrasonic reducer motors as the main drivers, the efficiency and accuracy of Xingchen Machine Tools have set historical records, not to mention that in the manufacturing process, next-generation top materials such as carbon fiber and graphene are also used.

"The machinery department has included electric propulsion aircraft engines in the plan, and you must prepare early. The fuel era will definitely pass, and electric propulsion is the future. Why not set up a joint laboratory? In addition to jointly developing the key technologies needed for power propulsion aircraft, more importantly, we can also work together to formulate standards." After looking at the production line, Luo Jia looked for an opportunity to reveal the news to Li He.

Companies like COMAC are actually national teams wearing vests. It is not impossible to bypass them alone, but it is unnecessary. Xingchen Technology is now so large that it is inevitable that it will have to be closely linked to the national team.

Swish ~

After hearing Luo Jia's words, Li He and Du Liangyu were both shocked. They never expected that Xingchen Technology would enter the field of aviation engines?

So far, COMAC's plan is still to gather global suppliers to build Wanguo brand large aircraft. Except for the software that mainly comes from Xingchen Technology, the other major suppliers are mainly foreign companies.

This is not because COMAC is unwilling to increase the domestic production rate. After the painful lessons of the trade war, COMAC simply dreamed of building a purely domestic large aircraft. Unfortunately, the domestic aviation industry is very different from the world's top, and it is really impossible to find a qualified replacement.

Xingchen Technology has the strength to do import substitution projects, but Xingchen Technology does not seem to have the will to make efforts in the aviation field. In the past two years, they have been focusing on semiconductors.

"Mr. Luo, aren't you kidding?" Li He asked with wide eyes.

Luo Jia smiled, "How could we joke about this kind of thing? It's not that the semiconductor engineering has ended. It just so happened that the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean was aggressive and wanted to have a space race with us."

"It's impolite to come without going. People have already hit the doorstep, so we have no reason to be a turtle. Aviation and aerospace are one. Aviation is like walking, and aerospace is like running. If you want to learn to run, you must first know how to walk. So from now on, we must increase our investment in the aviation field. I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

After hearing Luo Jia's explanation, Du Liangyu and Li He showed a look of surprise on their faces, and then they turned to a little worried.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Musk and Luo Jia made an appointment to fight in space, and they were not at ease from beginning to end. North America had a space race with the former Soviet Union, and their foundation was much higher. If Star Technology also joined the space race, it would probably not be enough to spend all the money earned in the past few years.

"Don't worry about money." Luo Jia said: "The four major banks in China have promised to fully support our development of aerospace industry. To be honest, the lack of talent and experience has brought us considerable trouble."

Du Liangyu said: "Since the four major banks have made promises, we don't have to say much. I don't know if there is any place we can help with in terms of talent?"

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to help." Luo Jia said helplessly: "One of the main reasons why Xingchen Technology can expand rapidly is that a large number of scientists who have returned from studying abroad, including An Ran and Cao Yuan, all of whom have returned from abroad."

"But aerospace is different. It belongs to a professional field that is strictly controlled by the West. Not to mention Chinese students, even native Chinese people will find it difficult to enter the core department of Nasa."

"There are naturally difficulties, but there is no need to worry too much. There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. In addition to the Human Resources Department, we also have the Life Science Department. At critical moments, the Life Science Department can also serve as our trump card."

Du Liangyu was puzzled and didn’t understand what the matter of poaching had to do with the Ministry of Life Sciences?

However, after thinking about it, Du Liangyu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

After all, scientists are also humans and are afraid of death.

...

The sixth arrondissement of Paris, next to the old residential building in Luxembourg Park.

Dr. Pierre welcomed a special guest at his home on the fourth floor.

Her name is Yuan Yuan, a short Chinese woman with long black hair, claiming to be a personnel consultant at Xingchen Technology, and speaks French with a slightly southern accent.

"I graduated from the Law Department of Marseille University." Yuan Yuan took over the coffee and explained the origin of her Nanfa accent politely.

Dr. Pierre suddenly felt energetic. Before entering the European Space Agency, he was the chief scientist of the Provence Observatory in Marseille and was considered an alumnus of Yuan Yuan.

After a simple exchange, Yuan Yuan successfully gained the trust of Dr. Pierre. An old friend of Dr. at the University of Marseille happened to be Yuan Yuan's graduate supervisor, which gave the two a common topic.

Dr. Pierre had no doubt that Star Technology must have investigated carefully before letting Yuan Yuan meet him, but he was not disgusted with this behavior, but instead believed that Star Technology attached importance to it.

After all, not everyone is qualified to be valued by the world's largest technology company. Yuan Yuan came to the door on behalf of Xingchen Technology. Dr. Pierre was quite proud and even boasted to his daughter.

"It would be bad if you just send someone who can't even speak French." Dr. Pierre thought to himself that most French people arrogantly believed that French is the most elegant language in the world. Although Dr. Pierre's English was so good that he could read Shakespeare, he still resisted all languages ​​except French.

Yuan Yuan smiled, concise but polite, and expressed her intentions. When he talked about Pierre's mother with kidney cancer, the doctor's whole body twitched suddenly, obviously deeply touched by Yuan Yuan's words.

"You can let my mother spend this Christmas safely!" Dr. Pierre jumped up excitedly, and blue veins appeared on his forehead. To be honest, it was a bit scary.

Yuan Yuan smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, we can not only let your mother spend this Christmas, but also let her spend next year, the year after, or even ten years later, your mother can still happily unpack Christmas gifts."

"As for the reasons, I think you should know, we have a department called Life Sciences, and my colleagues have just completed immune activation therapy, and at the moment, they are working hard to tackle metabolic control."

Dr. Pierre was stunned, and he asked hoarsely, "You are done? How is this possible! The news has never announced this. After the failure of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, you are the only hope of mankind, and the whole world is watching you!"

Yuan Yuan showed a playful smile and said, "The news has not been announced, and it will not be announced for a long time. After all, saving the world is God's obligation, not ours. As long as we take good care of our own people, we are already very satisfied."

Such obvious and sarcastic words made Dr. Pierre not know how to answer. At this moment, his mind was full of his mother who was undergoing treatment and had all her hair lost. She was so thin now. The doctor said that she might not be able to go on vacation to the Nice beach as usual this summer because there was not enough time.

Thinking of this, Dr. Pierre clenched his fists, "I think you should be on behalf of Xingchen Technology to negotiate terms?"

Yuan Yuan nodded with a smile, "You may have made a mistake in one thing."

"Oh?" Pierre looked up and looked at the little woman with dark hair, looking confused.

"Star Technology never negotiates with individuals, and all employees implement the company's existing welfare system." Yuan Yuan explained: "Dr. Jean Pierre, you are the chief scientific consultant of the European Space Agency's Gaia-2 Space Telescope Program and the Galaxy Panorama Program. You are also the deputy director of the Mars Agency, right?"

Pierre nodded with a complicated expression. It is not difficult to see from his position that he is an extremely important scientist to the European Space Agency, specializing in the field of space observation.

"According to the standards of Xingchen Technology, you can enjoy the 18th level of the company." Yuan Yuan said lightly: "Simply put, our boss Luo Jia is at the 21st level, An Ran and Li Moran are both at the 20th level, and the heads of major laboratories and subsidiaries are at the 19th level, and you are at the 18th level. In our company, the 18th level is already a very high position, which shows our sincerity and importance to you."

Pierre did not say anything. Everyone knows that Luo Jia is not a stingy boss. The salary and bonus offered by Star Technology are the highest on the earth. If nothing unexpected happens, Pierre's salary will increase a lot compared to the current one.

"There should be other conditions?" Pierre asked with a frown.

"Yes, you and your family need to become a Chinese nationality and will be subject to Chinese laws from now on." Yuan Yuan said quite frankly.

Dr. Pierre was extremely surprised and gradually opened his mouth wide, "Add to Chinese nationality? I heard that you seem to be dissatisfied with foreigners. They are the most difficult countries in the world to immigrate."

After hearing Pierre's words, Yuan Yuan smiled brightly and said, "Doctor, you must understand that from ancient times to the present, China has always been the most open and inclusive civilization in the world. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has always been like this. We are not against foreigners. We are against stupidity! It is religion! It is greed and deception! It is all low quality!"
