Chapter 456: Rocket contest is about to start

Luo Jia told you about the mergers and acquisitions in the agricultural field in recent years. The first was Sinochem's acquisition of Swiss Syngenta. This was the beginning of a giant competition. Then Dow acquired DuPont and Bayer acquired Monsanto. It was a response to China's strong entry into the agricultural field .
Unconsciously, global agriculture has formed three giant companies: Sinochem Syngenta Group, which represents China Power, Dow DuPont Group, which represents North America, and Bayer Monsanto Group, which represents European power.
Luo Jia said, "The three major agricultural giants together account for more than 80 percent of the global market for pesticides and seeds. This has never happened in the long history of the planet."
"In this highly monopolized market, we have reasons to worry about agricultural security, but this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that we have started the space program. From now on, all departments of the company will serve the space program, of which Including the Department of Life Sciences, including the Agriculture Program. "
"Do we also serve the space program?"
"No, the space program still needs agricultural assistance?" Luo Jia's words caused confusion.
Luo Jia nodded slightly, and Luo Jia said with a smile: "Of course, the space plan needs agriculture. For example, we plan to set up a permanent colony base or space station on the moon or Mars in synchronous orbit. How will the colony base be far away from the mother planet? Solving the problem of clothing, food, and transportation? From Earth to Mars, it takes an average of two hundred days to travel a long distance. It is obviously uneconomical and unrealistic to use spacecraft to transport food. "
"Assuming we master artificial meat technology and can use cell division to make large quantities of fresh meat, it will greatly improve the quality of life for colonial employees."
"For another example, suppose that one day, if we go further, out of the solar system and into distant deep space, we must master two key technologies, one is human freezing and the other is space agriculture. They are both in the field of life sciences. Branch. "
"If this is not enough to convince you, I can give a third example. As we all know, Mars and most of the planets in the universe are not suitable for human survival. Assuming that in the distant future, we can master the technology of cultivating super space plants. "Giving plants the ability to survive in harsh environments will bring unimaginable help to the transformation of our interstellar colonies."
Luo Jia talked eloquently and drew a huge blueprint, which made everyone crazy.
Of course, agriculture is not high, but adding the word space to space agriculture is another matter.
...
After Luo Jia finished his speech, he left the Department of Life Sciences and did not assign tasks to everyone or point out the focus of research and development.
After all, he is not omnipotent. So far, the golden dome has not brought Luo Jia any information about life sciences. In simple terms, Luo Jia does not understand life sciences.
Luo Jia just explained the Wen family brothers and carried out according to the path he designed. At the same time, he started two projects of cosmetics and artificial meat. The former was to collect wealth and blood to the space program, and the latter was to ensure agricultural security and ensure the dining table of the people across the country. There is meat to eat.
Although young, Luo Jia loves to read history. From the history, he has seen too much hunger and too much suffering caused by the hunger to the Chinese people.
As a descendant of the peasants who faced the loess and the sky, Luo Jia valued agriculture as a natural thing. He stubbornly believed that the problem of eating was the biggest problem in the world. There was no one. Now that there is an opportunity, he must of course solve it first. Problems with agriculture.
Returning from the Department of Life Sciences, Luo Jia continued to invest in the research of heavy carrier rockets, focusing on rocket engine technology.
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall under the sky, and Xingchen Technology is preparing to study the 550-ton thrust engine, which soon spread out, and it attracted the attention of the global scientific community, and then the launch of a large-scale rocket race.
There is no such thing as a rocket. There is no single-engine installation, all of which are multi-machine linkages, and a single-engine thrust of 550 tons of liquid oxygen methane engine. From the perspective of design and parameters, it is already very amazing.
As we all know, Musk has designed four types of rockets for his space program, arranged from small to large: Falcon IX, heavy falcon, large falcon, and super falcon.
Among them, the highest-performing Super Falcon rocket is equipped with an engine called Raptor. The single-engine thrust of the Raptor engine is 200 tons, which is not high, but it can achieve large-scale teamwork, 20 units, or even 24 or 2. Eighteen raptors can work together to provide extraordinary impetus to super raptors.
Xingchen Technology's rocket engine can of course also work in teams, but the thrust is nearly three times higher than Musk's Raptor, which is obviously the rhythm of things.
Everyone else has a two-hundred-ton engine and a three-hundred-hundred-hundred-ton engine. Xingchen Technology directly loads 550-ton, which is by no means the result the West wants to see.
"Come here! Really here!"
Seeing that it was about to enter July, the hottest season of the year, Enran suddenly rushed into Luo Jia's office. He couldn't help but put the tablet in front of Luo Jia.
"You guessed right, they did it, they all did it!" Enron said.
they?
Luo Jia was suspicious. "So in addition to North America, there are others jumping out?"
"In fact, it's not an accident. It's old hair. They have always been like this. North America hasn't moved yet. They can't hold their breath." An Ran shrugged and answered.
Maozi wants to do something?
Luo Jia was suspicious. He saw the tablet computer that Enron gave him. The news source is Russia's largest news media. Russia Today, in Mao Xiongguo, Russia's status today is equivalent to Xinhua News Agency, with high grade and credibility.
The news content is like this.
Russia and recently tested the world's largest rocket engine, the RD-171MV.
The RD-171MV engine weighs 10.3 tons and has a thrust of more than 800 tons, ranking first in the world. It is more powerful and smaller than the F-1 engine installed on Saturn 5 in North America, and can be reused about 10 times.
When this engine is running, the combustion chamber can generate 27 million kilowatts of thermal power, which is equivalent to the power of a large hydropower station. In addition, the engine turbine pump power will reach 180,000 kilowatts, which is equivalent to three nuclear power plants of a large nuclear power icebreaker. power.
Maozi Niubi!
This Nima is God's assist!
Luo Jia almost shouted out of excitement. He couldn't help but not be excited, because Maozi, a rocket engine whose parameters had perverted to an explosion, was not in the manufacturing stage, let alone in the design stage, but had already been commissioned!
"God!" Luo Jiaxi said: "When did Mao Zi make this big guy? The stand-alone thrust is 800 tons !? Does this thing exist to shoot the frigate to the sky !?"
Enran said excitedly: "What's more, Mao Zi always does things unexpectedly. You look down and there are surprises."
Still surprised?
Luo Jia was suspicious, read on, and saw that it was written like this at the end of the news.
"It is reported that the Yenisei heavy launch vehicle is also under development. It may consist of 12 boosters equipped with RD-171 engines and core stages carrying many RD-180 engines ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Unexpectedly, within a decade of the world, there will not be any kind of launch vehicle that can qualify as Yenisei's opponent. "
Luo Jia was stunned. The 12 RD-171 engines alone were 9,600 tons of thrust. If an unknown number of RD-180 engines were added, Yenisei ’s proper 10,000-ton super rocket!
It is indeed Maozi, this product is crazy and even hits itself!
What is the concept of thrust breaking 10,000 tons?
So far, the rocket with the largest thrust produced by humans is NASA's Saturn V, with a thrust of 3,400 tons. Mao Zi can play this game big enough to directly set the world record several times!
Although Xingchen Technology ’s rocket, Musk ’s rocket, and even Boeing ’s SLS rocket, the thrust is definitely higher than Saturn 5, but these rockets have not yet officially debuted, and the second is not so much higher. Directly to 10,000 tons! This is too exciting for the whole world.
At this time, Luo Jia's phone rang suddenly, and he looked down, and even poked his lips, and said to Enron: "The general called, it seems that even his old man can't be discouraged."
