Chapter 1186: "Moon Cannon"

The fringe area of ​​Jinling High-tech Park, Shuttle Assembly Center.
The factory guarded by troops is arguably the safest and most secure place in the entire park.
From Xiangrui to Qiaoqiao, 90% of the spacecraft such as the Earth-Moon system are final assembly completed from here and sent to the space launch center not far from here to low earth orbit.
If Jinling has gradually become the heart of the Chinese space industry because of the existence of Starry Sky Technology and the entry of a series of aerospace companies such as the Aerospace Group, then this is the bone marrow of hematopoietic.
Standing at the door of the No. 1 plant in the assembly center, two engineers with hard hats looked at the workers and machinery and equipment that were not far away for unloading and chatting.
"There have been a lot of big tigers who have fallen off horses recently. I heard Pharaoh bragging when I ate yesterday. It is said that even the deputy head of the Jinling High-tech Industrial Park Development Zone was investigated."
"That mayor of Sun?"
"It's not. Who else can he be? It is said that when the criminal police took someone to his house, he found two suitcases of gold."
The slightly younger engineer smashed his tongue, a bit unimaginable.
How much gold can two suitcases hold?
In any case, switching to rb is already a figure that he would not have earned in his lifetime.
"Our day, a district chief can fish so much."
"This is only found at home. It is said that his plot is still a bit serious. It is not a general bribery, and it is also related to overseas forces."
Then, the old engineer sighed and shook his head.
"Who would have thought of this? It would be due to the fact that the problem was discovered in time. If he climbed to the mayor's position, that would be fine."
While talking, the cargo on the car was unloaded. With the help of automated logistics vehicles, red-brown containers were transported to the inside of the plant.
Then, not far away, another truck drove over, and the workers waiting at the unloading point continued to repeat the previous operation and sent the boxes of goods to the factory.
Squinting at the trucks lined up in the garage not far away, the slightly younger engineer continued.
"You said, the traffic between our original cars has been a bit frequent recently."
The old engineer "don't know very much, it is said that there are some big projects."
The young engineer glanced at him.
"What project do you think it will be?"
The teacher gave the young engineer a glance and glared at him in fright.
"Ask so much, what do you want to earn in dollars?"
"This, isn't that curiosity ..."
"Don't ask, you shouldn't know. People who have been in trouble lately are heartbroken, talk less and do more. Hurry up and don't run into trouble here."
He patted the young man's shoulder, and the old engineer buckled the belt of the helmet and turned towards the factory building.
Behind the old engineer, the young man who was inexplicably speechless muttered and buckled the strap of the helmet.
"... It's inexplicable, just ask casually, as for the response so much."
The noon break is over, and the engineers in Factory No. 1 have already returned to work.
On the other side of the plant, beside a huge steel support, a group of experts wearing hard hats stood there as early as the morning, as if they had never left the neighborhood.
"... This is the latest shield machine we produced. The main material is titanium alloy, and the total weight after assembly is only 50 tons. It is suitable for low-gravity environments and can be dug at a depth of up to 20 meters on the lunar soil. The sub-column tunnel was dug with this thing. "
At this moment, standing next to Lu Zhou was an old engineer about 50 years old. The name written on his badge was Chen Yongliang, and his position was deputy manager and technical director.
Judging from his overalls, he does not belong to the Shuttle Assembly Center, but belongs to a subsidiary of China Railway Group.
The words aerospace and railway may not sound like they belong together, but in fact this is a thing of the previous era.
Since the launch of the Lunar Hadron Collider project, China Railway Group has followed the footsteps of Xingkong Technology to the field of space from high-speed rail and magnetic levitation orbit projects on the ground.
The 100-kilometer-long acceleration track distributed along the inner side of the crater is a masterpiece of the efforts of countless engineers and researchers of China Railway Group and Aerospace Group.
The shield machine facing Lu Zhou at this moment is also one of the by-products of this accelerator project.
The whole body is made of lightweight titanium alloy material, and the modular design allows it to be assembled by its own power without the help of large engineering equipment such as cranes.
Generally, the shield machine made of steel materials has a weight of fifty or sixty by the cutterhead alone, plus the front shield, middle shield, and tail shield, which can easily hundreds of dollars, and this large shield machine The weight is only in his early fifties.
It's no wonder that Chen Gong's face showed a proud expression.
As the only company in the world capable of making orbits on the moon, in a sense they have stood at the apex of the times.
After listening to Chen Gong's introduction, Lu Zhou finally asked the second question he was most concerned about.
"How much is the offer?"
Chen Yongliang "60 million!"
"A bit expensive."
Seeing the chief designer shaking his head, Chen Gong quickly explained.
"It's not expensive anymore. Just the titanium alloy skeleton, the cost will be tens of millions, let alone the other technologies in it."
Lu Zhou did not speak or make any representations.
He is the chief designer. He does n’t need to worry about purchasing this item. He who is expensive does not have a quotation to evaluate. He just talks about it by feeling.
Looking at this device for a long time, the general manager of the subsidiary of China Railway Group, who had not spoken next to him, began to drum, and he hesitated to say something, Lu Zhou suddenly said.
"I plan to build an electromagnetic orbit on the moon."
Chen Yongliang froze slightly.
"... how long is it?"
"A total length of 20 to 40 kilometers."
"What about the standard? Is it the collider?"
"It's definitely a little different from the collider, at least it should be wider, and the limit of speed can be higher," Lu Zhou smiled, looked at the steel skeleton in front of him and narrowed his eyes, and continued, "I need it Can accelerate the mass of 50 tons to 25k / s in 2 minutes ... Can it be done? "
Hearing Lu Zhou's request, the engineer's face showed a stunned expression, and took a sigh of relief.
"His ... You really have a problem for us. This requires not to say that we are, I'm afraid no one in this world can do it."
At 25 kilometers per second, this is already faster than the escape speed of the moon. Is this the intention to launch the goods directly into the earth-moon transfer orbit?
"If anyone in the world can do this, I won't come to you," watching Chen Gong jokingly, Lu Zhou continued, "the Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies intends to set up a dedicated research team, To design this lunar mass projector, the goal is to directly project the minerals mined on the lunar surface to the entrance of the low orbit or even the earth-moon transfer orbit. Whether it is completed in space or directly transported back to Earth, this is quite useful. necessary."
"At present, we have applied for a special funding from the state. The initial budget is 10 billion yuan. If the situation is optimistic, we will continue to add it. You are also regarded as the top domestic companies in the two fields of magnetic levitation technology and electromagnetic acceleration technology, especially in At the application level, I don't know if you are interested. "
Chen Gong had not spoken yet, and the general manager standing beside Lu Zhou had been waiting for an opportunity to intervene, and quickly took the conversation and said.
"Yes! Of course! Haha, I am afraid that everyone will refuse such a request. It is our pleasure to cooperate with the Jinling Institute of Higher Education!"
Lu Zhou smiled and politely nodded slightly.
"It's our pleasure."
Listening to the conversation between the two big brothers, Chen Gong smashed his tongue.
He really guessed it.
This Academician Lu really planned to build an "electromagnetic cannon" to shoot things on the moon directly to the earth.
It's just that this thing is really possible?
Although he was skeptical, he was hard to say anything. After all, what the big man decided to do, so far no matter how exaggerated it sounds, has become a reality.
Thinking of this, Chen Yongliang couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Perhaps this is the person standing on the shoulders of the times.
One hundred years later, no one may remember that a subsidiary of the China Railway Group had a technical director with the last name Chen, but he would surely remember that a big wave would make it impossible to become a possible name.
Looking at the back of a group of people walking towards the office, Chen Yongliang couldn't help feeling a little envious ...
...
I spent the whole morning with people from China Railway Group, watching them assemble and demonstrate the latest Lunar Shield Machine. Lu Zhou had no time to eat lunch.
After returning to the office, Lu Zhou took the box lunch from the cafeteria from Wang Peng, picked up the chopsticks three times, five and two, and then planed it cleanly. He did not forget to take a full meal later.
"The next time you remember to bring me a bottle of Coke, don't drink anything for dinner, I always feel panicked."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Peng couldn't help showing a hint of bitter smile.
"Can't you eat healthy food?"
Touched the paper towel and wiped his mouth calmly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lu Zhou didn't care to say.
"Throw the cigarette in your pocket and say this to me."
Wang Peng sighed and said.
"... I also hope that you can live a healthy and long life. People like us, it is enough to live sixty or seventy years old, and smoking is almost the same number."
"I don't like this sentence, it's all the same in life."
Wang Peng shrugged. Naturally, he would not talk back to Lu Zhou, but still made an expression of disapproval.
Perhaps his realm has not reached the height and spiritual realm of Academician Lu, or in other words, it is still too tacky, but no matter from which angle he looks, Academician Lu's words are too idealistic.
How can people be the same?
Such a society is simply hard to imagine ...
