Chapter 452 No One Knows How to Fool People Better than Him

It is a fact that China is not strong in aerospace.

Although it has developed rapidly in recent years, it is not inferior to Western countries such as the United States in small-load launch vehicle technology, and has also launched its own lunar exploration project, space station project and other projects.

But compared with the United States in the late 1960s, when it had the ability to send astronauts to the moon, the gap is still quite large.

After all, if you calculate it this way, their current aerospace technology is not as good as that of the United States in the 1960s.

In this case, it is still a bit difficult to make Western countries led by the United States pay attention to China's aerospace competition and drag the other party into this track.

After all, to fool others, you have to make others believe you.

Your own strength is here. Unless you can directly use the facts of sending astronauts to the moon to prove yourself, others may not pay attention to you.

Of course, for China, restarting the aerospace competition, dragging the United States into this field, and delaying the other party's progress in developing nuclear fusion can still be done.

After all, the size of the country is here.

In addition, the first-generation DT controlled nuclear fusion technology has been realized, and the second-generation and third-generation controlled nuclear fusion both require helium-3, which is as precious as tritium and can hardly be synthesized by artificial means.

There is very little helium-3 on Earth, but it is abundant on the moon. If the United States starts the space race under the name of developing the second-generation controlled nuclear fusion, it will definitely keep up with the pace.

If there is another scholar with strong academic prestige to support the space project at this time, such as him, if he directly serves as the chief designer of the lunar exploration project, the United States will probably panic.

After all, at the beginning, they did not pay attention to the field of controlled nuclear fusion, which caused their progress to lag behind seriously.

No one dares to bet on the same thing again.

However, for Xu Chuan, although this kind of thing sounds interesting, it is almost contrary to the scientific concept that he has always been firm in his heart, and it has caused a great conflict.

Whether in the previous life or this life, he has always been doing things and learning according to what a scholar and a scientific researcher should do.

For a scholar, if the goal is no longer to pursue the truth, then this person is almost useless.

At least in the academic field, it will be difficult to make further progress in the future.

And to be honest, in his opinion, the goals mentioned by Wen Yuanhang are really not nonsense.

After all, he really wants to do manned space flight, manned moon landing and other projects.

Like the transformation of Mars that he talked about with the old man before, that's called... well, that's called talking about ideals and dreams.

As for manned space flight, moon exploration, Mars landing and other projects, if he takes this as nonsense and he succeeds, this strategic nonsense will probably turn into strategic panic.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said, "To be honest, I am very optimistic about the development of the aerospace industry. But if you need me to come out and publish some papers and opinions to fool others, I am afraid I can't do such a thing."

After a pause, he looked at Wen Yuanhang and continued, "And in my opinion, manned landing on the moon, landing on Mars, and building bases on the moon and Mars are not fooling at all."

"If you really want to fool people, wouldn't the mass catapult, space elevator, and Nantianmen plan be more fooling? For example, the mass catapult directly uses a large electromagnetic catapult device to throw the spacecraft into the sky."

On the other side, listening to Xu Chuan's words, Wen Yuanhang silently took out a notepad from his pocket and wrote down the mass catapult, sky elevator and other plans mentioned by Xu Chuan.

Looking at Wen Yuanhang who was taking notes, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, stopped talking and asked: "Why are you writing this down?"

Wen Yuanhang coughed lightly and replied: "Well, I think what you said, Academician Xu, makes sense, so I'll write it down first and study it later."

After a slight pause, he asked curiously: "By the way, Academician Xu, I know about mass ejectors and space elevators, but what technology is this Nantianmen Project?"

Xu Chuan's mouth moved, and after thinking about it, he explained: "This is not a technology. It is a science fiction IP made by a cultural communication company. You can search it on Baidu and you will know."

Hearing this, Wen Yuanhang quickly took out his mobile phone and searched.

After looking for a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Chuan with a hint of excitement, and asked: "Academician Xu, I want to ask, is it possible for this Nantianmen Project to be realized?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned.

No, I asked you to use this to "strategically" fool others, why did you get fooled first?

The so-called great way is to deceive others by first making yourself believe that you can do it?

But how is this possible?

Although the key energy source of that thing, controlled nuclear fusion technology, has been realized, it can't be built at all.

Because there is no material that can support such a large and heavy spacecraft to go to the sky.

After this size of the mothership is built with the current materials, it can be said that if it dares to appear in the atmosphere, it is destined to be torn apart by gravity.

And apart from the materials, there is no engine that can provide such a large thrust.

Although it is theoretically possible to achieve it in outer space.

After all, in a vacuum without gravity, it doesn't matter how big the spacecraft is.

But this plan is not necessary at present.

The construction of such a super-large spacecraft is a super-complex process. Nowadays, it takes several years to build an aircraft carrier of several hundred meters, and this is when all kinds of technical equipment are complete.

Such a super space carrier is not a simple accumulation of materials, but a complex system. The design alone will take several years or even more than ten years.

If it is to deter other countries, it can only be said that it is completely unworthy and unnecessary to spend a lot of time, manpower and material resources to build such a carrier. It is better to have a few fusion-powered aircraft carriers.

Perhaps after he completes the observation and utilization of gravitons in the future, he may need a spacecraft of this level to go to other galaxies.

Of course, using this kind of thing to fool people is indeed a very good choice.

After all, it is indeed feasible in theory.

And once it is done, the deterrent power is huge.

Seeing Xu Chuan say this, Wen Yuanhang did not ask again.

It must be said that the Nantianmen plan he searched on the Internet is indeed very tempting.

And the most important thing is that they have solved the controllable nuclear fusion technology!

If such a space carrier can really be built, where can't it go in the world?

With such a space carrier, all aircraft carriers can be retired.

After a little regret, Wen Yuanhang returned to the topic, looked at Xu Chuan and asked: "If Academician Xu is not convenient for you to serve as the chief designer of the manned space flight and lunar landing project, do you have any recommended candidates or plans?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "I do have a suggestion, but I don't know if it is suitable."

"You say."

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "At present, manned space flight and lunar exploration projects are directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council due to some strategic factors. I suggest that we adopt a cooperative approach and carry out it together through the Xinghai Research Institute and the Department of Science and Technology."

"As for the chief designer, it will be held by the personnel of the Department of Science and Technology. And the Xinghai Research Institute will provide technical support, which can be done in this way."

Wen Yuanhang recorded this sentence and nodded, saying: "I will feedback your opinions in time."

After a slight pause, he continued: "In addition, on the 25th of this month, a week later, the capital will hold a meeting Hold a discussion meeting on manned space flight and lunar exploration projects. "

"The address is on the campus of Shuimu University. Here is your invitation letter."

Speaking of this, Wen Yuanhang took out an invitation letter from his pocket and handed it to Xu Chuan, and then said: "This exchange meeting will not only have people from the academic and government circles, but also many companies from the industrial and even commercial circles have received invitations."

Smiling, he continued: "If you are interested, Academician Xu, you can go and have a look, and support the discussion meeting by the way."

"At the exchange meeting, the Science and Technology Department will announce some news that is beneficial to aerospace engineering, as well as policies to encourage private enterprises to enter the aerospace field, etc."

"Although the nature of our Xinghai Research Institute is relatively special, it is also included in these policies."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Okay, I will go and have a look when I have time."

To be honest, if it is a simple internal meeting with only academic and government personnel participating, he really has no interest.

Now in China, even if his suggestions are not put forward through such a large-scale exchange meeting, they can get the support of senior officials.

As for making connections at such a discussion meeting, it was even less necessary for him.

However, he was still a little curious about the information related to the business and industrial circles.

From the meaning of this statement, it seems that the country is preparing to vigorously promote and encourage private enterprises to participate in the creation of a commercial aerospace industry chain.

This is a good thing. After all, China's aerospace industry was almost controlled by the state in the past.

There are also private commercial rocket companies such as SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, and Blue Origin abroad. But in China, in the field of aerospace, private enterprises can hardly have any development, just like the controlled nuclear fusion in the past.

This is actually a good thing for Xinghai Research Institute, a research institution with a special nature.

Apart from the scientific research funds allocated from above, Xinghai Research Institute also needs additional income to maintain research.

Funding cannot always rely on funding from above, and it is also necessary to find ways to increase income.

And the income in the aerospace field is undoubtedly quite suitable.

After all, there are not many people in China who are capable of doing this business now. If Xinghai Research Institute can make the aerospace electromagnetic propulsion system, it will definitely get most of the aerospace-related orders in China and even the world.
