After the Brainstorm Group's meeting, Luo Jia and Li Moran returned from the conference center together.

"I need more engineers." Li Moran said anxiously: "This mission is really too hardcore. Rocket simulation computing, geosynchronous orbit cruise, engineering mechanics and bionic computing of space elevators, you see, they are all the most difficult areas."

"Maybe Bai Xianyong and others from the Industrial Software Branch can be recalled. After all, the branch is already very stable, and it mainly does some product extension and maintenance, and looks relatively leisurely."

Luo Jia nodded, "Okay, transfer personnel from the Industrial and Software Branch. The software required for the space program is not only more complex, but also requires a lot of experience. Next, you will not only poach global experts, but also have to be more courageous. You are not afraid of having never written space-related software before, just try boldly."

Many people don’t know that behind the world’s outstanding hardware companies, there are often extremely powerful software departments. Why is the computing fluid mechanics software of Dassault so powerful? The main reason is that Dassault builds fighter jets. If the fluid mechanics are not strong, the Rafale fighter jets will fall into trouble.

Not only Dassault's software department is very strong, but financial companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, Airbus, and even Standard Chartered Bank and Allianz Insurance also have powerful software departments behind them.

This time the space plan is unparalleled, which is not only a challenge to the hardware department that Anron is responsible for, but also a huge pressure on the software department that Li Moran is responsible for and the human resources department that Di Wuchang is responsible for, are also under tremendous pressure.

Of course, the department with the greatest pressure is the Finance Department, which Lu Tao is responsible for. Every day, every day he turns on the computer, all the emails from each department to ask him for funds.

The stall is too big. The production of graphene and super-strength carbon fibers required for space elevators has been planned for more than 30 new factories across the country.

The length of the 36,000-kilometer space elevator is far more than the total mileage of the China High-speed Railway. Even if the cost is 100 million US dollars per kilometer, it will cost 36,000 million US dollars to build the body of the space ladder.

As for other supporting costs, auxiliary consumption costs, and the cost of a 10,000-ton space station, Lu Tao could not imagine at all, and the huge number almost suffocated him.

If you don’t be a boss, you don’t know how expensive it is. Mr. Lu’s eyes are red every day. He is thinking about making money every day, thinking about increasing revenue and reducing expenses. It is like a gunpowder barrel that is about to explode. Even Luo Jia dares not provoke him, for fear of making him angry and giving up.

"Come on, but don't get tired of yourself." Luo Jia patted Li Moran on the shoulder and said.

"Please care more about yourself. I heard from the young people in our department that the lights in your office were on all night last night." Li Moran said.

"Haha, you actually discovered it, but it won't be there from today." Luo Jia said.

"Prepare to get rid of the problem of staying up late?" Li Moran asked curiously: "It's impossible. You have always had the habit of working at night, and it has been like this for many years."

Luo Jia shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "I mean, even if you stay up late in the future, you won't be discovered by you, because I plan to move directly to the Rocket Lab to work."

...

Since rocket research and development is the most important task for the entire company at present, Luo Jia plans to take charge of the company personally, let An Ran do the machinery he is good at and fight against the Rocket project by himself.

The newly established Rocket Laboratory is located in Qidong opposite the river, not far from its subsidiary Xingchen Chemical, which has a large dangerous goods testing base in the Ministry of Chemicals, and can also conduct rocket-boosted fuel tests.

"Suddenly I felt like following my idol and walking the road." After entering the Rockets Laboratory, Luo Jia put down the cardboard box in her arms and looked around and sighed.

This boss, who has no airs, insisted on moving office supplies over by himself, which moved colleagues from the Logistics Department and the Administration Department very much.

"Teacher's idol?" Shen Lang, who was following Luo Jia, asked with his head tilted.

"Oh, Mr. Qian Xuesen, he is one of the founders of the Rockets team, which is now the famous Jet Power Laboratory." Luo Jia said: "To this day, our Star Technology also has its own Rocket Laboratory, which is really touching."

Shen Lang frowned and muttered in a low voice: "I'll go, Mr. Qian's Rocket Team is very cruel. They almost exploded a teaching building at California Polytechnic. Teacher, please be more at ease."

"What did you say?" Luo Jia didn't hear Shen Lang's mutter clearly, so she asked.

Shen Lang said that he said nothing, and then looked at the empty table on the left side of Luo Jia's office.

"What? Do you want to move here too?" Luo Jia saw through his apprentice's thoughts and asked casually.

"Yeah!" Shen Lang focused his head and his eyes emitted light. After all, he was a boy, and Shen Lang was very interested in studying rockets.

"Not yet." Luo Jia shook his head and refused, and Shen Lang was suddenly dejected.

Luo Jia threw his coat to him and pulled him out, "Working things must have a beginning and an end. Star Entertainment needs you more than Rocket Labs. You have to stay in your subsidiary and make suggestions for the cultural front. After all, after the space project begins, I have no time to pay attention to cultural and entertainment, and cultural hegemony is extremely important."

Luo Jia explained to Shen Lang that the Rocket Laboratory's name is very impressive, but its work is actually quite boring. By constantly modifying models and parameters, determining the design and process of the Star Launch Vehicle, basically 90% of it is research.

Shen Lang is a natural commander. It is a waste of resources to let a commander engage in research. The cultural and entertainment front is fiercely fighting with the Western entertainment industry.

Disney, Marvel, DC, Universal, Warner, Columbia, Sony, Lionsgate, Netflix, HBO, all Western entertainment organizations that can name it take turns to take turns to fight. The battle is so fierce that the human brain is almost out of the dog brain.

Not only are movies and TV series competing, documentaries, animations, talk shows, reality shows, and all entertainment industries competing.

In addition, there is also the competition between culture, Star Journal and Western academic journals, the establishment of the Science Prize and the Nobel Prize for scientific research hegemony, which also requires people with ability to decide.

Although Xingchen Technology is huge, it mainly takes the R&D route. Culture and entertainment is one of the few subsidiaries that are directly on the front line and fight fiercely with the West. With Shen Lang's talent and ability, it is obvious that it still stays at Xingchen Entertainment, which can better exert its command and decision-making ability.

Seeing that Luo Jia had made up his mind, Shen Lang didn't say much. He liked to give advice in Xingchen Entertainment, but the etching of the stars in the Rocket Laboratory represents, it is difficult for any man to resist the deep temptation of the universe.

When he arrived at the parking lot, Luo Jia and Shen Lang got into the car. The task of moving things has been completed. Today, on weekends, Luo Jia will go home for dinner as usual. From tomorrow, he will officially preside over the work in Rocket Laboratory.

"Let's go and take you to eat cumin lamb chops." Luo Jia said, then drove away from the Rocket Laboratory and headed towards home.

Shen Lang nodded repeatedly. It was his privilege to go to and from the teacher's house freely, and even Chen Qingyue and Gu Beiyin were very envious.

As soon as the car arrived, the Luo family was so hungry that they drooled and their stomachs were roaring.

It’s strange that after tasting so many dishes from top chefs, Luo Jia’s favorite is the home-cooked dish made by her mother.

...

After having dinner made by my mother at home, and chatting with my father about international formats and family matters. Luo Jia drove back the next morning.

Since the new office location is farther away than Baoshan headquarters, Luo Jia rushed to the elevated road before dawn and arrived at the start of the sun.

From the Rocket Laboratory to the east, it is a space communication laboratory jointly established with Huawei, focusing on ultra-long-range signal transmission, as well as satellite communication networks covering the world, etc. To the south is a space observation laboratory, and to the north is a space mining laboratory...

All laboratories are of different sizes, but the designs are carved from the same mold, which belongs to the reserved building of Star Technology.

The so-called reserved building means building a laboratory first without knowing the company's plan. Once the company decides to start a new project, there will be enough site to be put into use immediately without the need to buy land temporarily to start construction. It saves too much time, which is in line with the tradition of Star Technology's rapid development.

Because it is a newly established laboratory, the researchers also come from all directions, with the main forces being the Department of Chemistry, Automation Machinery, Materials, but there are also experts in unpopular fields such as the theoretical mathematical group and the gravitational subphysics group.

In addition, there is also a global poaching by the Ministry of Human Resources. They not only poach experts from the ESA, but also the major courtyards under the Aerospace Department will not let go. Of course, you must be responsible for poaching people from the national team. Only then will Di Wuchang take action if he acquiescedly.

In short, newcomers join in the Rockets Laboratory every day, and everyone is no longer surprised by this. If you want to talk about the latest, the boss will take charge of it himself. The office next to Qi Lilai was simply cleaned up. Luo Jia brought a few cardboard boxes over, so he was considered a permanent residence.

At first, everyone was a little uncomfortable, but after finding out that Luo Jia himself had no airs and was very professional in researching the Rockets, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

On the first day of Luo Jia's arrival, a huge white board was erected in the center of the laboratory, and a complex name was written on the white board: the full flow refueling and grading combustion cycle engine of liquid oxygen methane.

This engine with an extremely complex name is the goal set by Luo Jia for the laboratory. The Rockets account for at least 50% of the importance of the engine. As long as the engine problem can be solved, all other changes will be solved. Maybe it can help the national team and improve intercontinental missile technology.

The first step in the development of rocket engines is to design and build digital models. Luo Jia soon hung a second whiteboard, which was written on it:

Combustion chamber pressure is 37mpa.

The maximum thrust of a single machine is 550t.

The flow rate of the main pump of oxidant is 742.72kg/s…

After the whiteboard was hung out, the researchers immediately surrounded him with a little surprise on their faces.

"This preset parameter is a bit high. Musk's new generation Raptor engine has a combustion chamber pressure of only 28mpa."

"The theoretical jet speed of the methane engine is 3600m/s, while the jet speed of liquid hydrogen is 4400m/s. It seems that the boss is planning to maximize the performance of the methane engine."

"A single-body thrust engine? Mr. Luo really has a wild heart."

"Obviously, Mr. Luo is not going for the 100-ton rocket, but is trying to do something bigger."

"I just calculated briefly, Long March 9 140 tons, Musk's large falcon 150 tons, and super falcon 220 tons. If we build this one, it will be at least 300 tons!"
Chapter completed!
