Chapter 950 Small Base (4K)
Young people are vigorous and upward. They can never understand the joy of a dead tree turning into spring and the cherishment of this youthful state.
As a veteran who has struggled for decades in the last century, Li Lun poured his blood into the Gobi Desert. When he got older and lacked energy and was already fighting on the front line, the emotion "A veteran never dies, he just withers" was expressed several times in his speech. It came to his mind that although he taught batch after batch of seeds to contribute to Daxia Technology, the regret that he could not get to the front line could only be revealed to the seats and benches when he took a nap in the afternoon and woke up from a dream in the middle of the night.
But now after entering Kyushu Technology, his body is gradually recovering its energy, and a series of cutting-edge technologies have stimulated his soul, making it impossible for him to continue to "wither".
It takes others twenty minutes to have lunch, but Academician Li only takes eight minutes, and even having porridge for breakfast is faster.
And during the breaks between meals, he would read documents for a while. As for "time-wasting" aspects such as going to the toilet and doing physical therapy, he would always think about the progress of the project in his mind.
In Jiuzhou Science and Technology, there are many young engineers and scientists who rely on Taoyao to boost their spirits every day. After learning about Academician Li's daily routine, they all feel ashamed.
Although Gu Qing knew that this person had a tight schedule, he still chose to say a few words in the car.
"Academician Li, I remember that when I went for a physical examination last year, the traditional Chinese medicine doctors at our ecological physiotherapy team told me that I should not eat so impatiently just because I am young, as it would damage my stomach and other organs."
"Um."
Li Lun didn't open his mouth, just replied with a nasal voice, and then continued to take the steamed buns he took out from his arms, chewing them one by one with a tube of aerospace nutrition.
Gu Qing picked up the tablet and stroked it a few times. He looked at the car behind him and saw the students taught by the old academician sitting on their seats eating like this. He very wisely chose not to talk more about this topic.
From the perspective of intuitive benefits, if others are working so hard, I am also one of the direct beneficiaries. If I care too much, it seems a bit false compassion. If I have this energy, it is better to invest more money and buy more equipment in the rocket project.
The convoy is driving in the underground tunnel, and every meter of the process is paved with money.
From an industrial production perspective, rockets are similar to the production, R&D and manufacturing of cars, airplanes, and ships.
Cars have final assembly workshops, and Rockets naturally have mid-assembly workshops, but the requirements are higher than those of car final assembly workshops.
After trimming hair, bathing, checking, disinfecting, changing clothes, and disinfecting again, Gu Qing and a group of academicians, doctoral supervisors, and research monks entered the rocket assembly workshop of Jiuzhou Technology.
Zhou Yuanfang is a research monk who just graduated from the rocket major of a university in Daxia two years ago. After staying in a certain unit for more than two years and before becoming a full-time employee, he was taken to the rocket R&D department of Jiuzhou Technology by Li Lu and became the rocket assembly workshop. a young craftsman.
But he never expected that a young man like himself would be "put in the eyes" of two giants.
Li Lun pointed at Zhou Yuanfang, who was still working calmly in the workshop, and said to Gu Qing: "This is a craftsman I brought over from the original unit. His temperament is too straightforward and calm. Although he is not suitable for promotion in the unit, he is very suitable. Be a bridge between designers and assembly masters.
As a craftsman, you not only need to understand rocket design, but also need solid and meticulous basic craftsmanship. After all, their job is to write out the assembly process of each part and each process according to the design requirements after the designer provides the actual drawings.
What components should be installed in the first step, what components should be installed in the second step, what screws are needed to install this hole position, and how much torque should be used. These tedious items must be made clear. The assembly masters must be able to directly install them after seeing the documents. Get started.
They are responsible for a small component from the beginning, and then learn to master each component. With enough experience and foundation, they can become an excellent rocket designer. "
It was obvious that Academician Li was paving the way for this young man who was immersed in work and did not look down on him because he was just a researcher.
Gu Qing was deeply impressed by the name Zhou Yuanfang, and Xuanwu was very sensible and put Zhou Yuanfang's resume and some private records on the projection interface of SR1 glasses.
In the previous unit, as a newcomer to the workshop, although I had a graduate degree, I was still pressed by seniority. For the first time, I had the opportunity to follow a complete rocket project from beginning to end, but it was not an old model familiar rocket, but a new rocket. model rocket, so there will always be deviations between the design drawings and the actual installation process, which require constant running-in.
This running-in has produced some "credit", but this kind of credit can only be reflected by showing a certain party's work mistakes, so it has been suppressed by some people, and even being promoted to a regular position has been suppressed.
Li Lun also noticed something strange in this work when he inspected the workshop. At that time, he had already had the idea of going to Jiuzhou Technology, so he started to love talents, and that's why today's incident happened.
After reading this document, Gu Qing felt relieved. He accepts the situation of seniors leading newcomers, as long as it is not a master-disciple relationship.
Xueba must not grow within his own company!
The final assembly of a rocket is a tedious system project. Pipe installation, cable laying, segment docking, mass centroid measurement and other aspects all require talents to advance. Although intelligent robots have advantages in precision work, they cannot replace all precision work. Artificial.
It also helps optimize the process, subdivide the process, and make the connection between each process more closely, so as to continuously improve the efficiency of the final assembly and ensure the quality of the final assembly. These things are not something that artificial intelligence can solve in the short term.
So Gu Qing has always been more tolerant of the young blood brought by these old predecessors.
Academician Li's steps in the dust-free workshop are not as fast as when he is outside.
The cleanroom built by Jiuzhou Technology for its own aerospace engineering is also the world's top standard. Aerospace products such as rockets, satellites, aircraft, and engines in aviation are precision instruments, which put forward extremely high requirements on the air environment quality of the clean room.
There are extremely special requirements for air particles, temperature and humidity, vibration, noise, air suspended particle count concentration monitoring, one-way flow section wind speed detection, non-one-way flow air outlet air volume detection, air supply pipe air volume detection, and even noise and illumination.
After watching the final assembly, Gu Qing and his party walked to the final assembly test workshop.
The final assembly test is the process of overall coordination, inspection and acceptance of the launch vehicle.
The quality of the final assembly test technology is also directly related to the overall performance and reliability of the launch vehicle and the success or failure of the flight.
Only after a large number of process tests in the final assembly test are passed, can the rocket be packed and transported to the launch site.
Li Lun praised Gu Qing more than once beside him: "In order to meet the modularization and rapid installation of the company's Jiazi test rocket launch requirements, our design engineer team optimized the design and production plans based on the unique characteristics of the rocket.
It was during this period that we learned about the strong R&D capabilities of the software engineering department and the semiconductor department.
Mr. Gu may not know that in order to make a mature and accurate aviation rocket industry software, it is generally a big cycle of three to ten years, and it can be gradually improved by successive generations.
However, colleagues in the software engineering department of our company can live and eat in our rocket department. Relying on the existing templates, it took two months to develop a set of software specifically for our Jiazi test. Industrial software used for test rocket design.
And when our engineering team uses this industrial software platform to a certain stage of development, we can input this data into the spiritual ecology for virtual modeling and virtual launch experiments.
If there is no mistake in this actual launch, we may become the first laboratory in Blue Star to master the complete combination of virtual experiments and actual research and development.
Virtual design, modular installation, virtual testing, actual testing, and perfect launch, only four major links can produce a mature and usable rocket.
The speed of technological progress is too fast. If I rest in the nursing home for another two years, I am afraid I will be completely left behind by the world. "
Li Lun's sigh seemed so natural to Gu Qing.
After all, in order to accelerate its own aerospace engineering, Jiuzhou Technology's internal institutions have given the green light to the needs of the aerospace engineering department.
The computing share of the supercomputing center can be used at will, the carbon-based chips can be used at will, and even the semiconductor department can customize exclusive smart chips and architecture processes. The software engineering department will respond to all software needs of the aerospace department. The Titanium Star department also has to "share" some cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements from time to time. Special titanium alloys, structural design, brushless motors and other core technologies of Jiuzhou Technology products have been shared.
In addition, Zhang Yuanfeng and others have been frantically poaching people and making equipment all over the world in recent years, and Gu Qing himself has become the company's think tank team and provides new ideas from time to time.
With such progress, isn't it normal?
But in the eyes of old predecessors like Li Lun, the progress of his work at Jiuzhou Technology is simply unbelievably fast.
Thinking back to the time when he was brought out by the then chief engineer to supervise for several months in order to shorten the launch cycle by a few days and shorten it to less than one month, he even saw some young people working overnight until they were hospitalized.
The execution time of each operation link is sorted out, and the time error required for each link is accurate to within seven minutes, so that a few days can be saved.
This is just for the installation and launch of the rocket. If the research and development, production, and experiments are added.
Li Lun only feels that the time he spent at Jiuzhou Technology is not the time on the ground of Blue Star, but the time in the heaven.
The work that can be done in one day is equal to the work on the ground of Blue Star in one year, or even the work that cannot be done in one year...
Moreover, the technology of testing products within Jiuzhou Technology Company is really incomprehensible to Academician Li.
Is this really what I said above, a private technology company with no help from other official research institutes in Daxia?
As for the detection technology, let alone private technology products, he himself felt a little "surprised" to use it in aerospace projects.
The various installation and testing equipment of the intelligent assembly and testing plant, as well as the facilities such as the whole rocket storage and pyrotechnic assembly and testing plant, are all extremely scientifically arranged.
For example, the detection demand for valve leakage rate during rocket assembly is a common and perennial problem in the industry.
The engineers of the Titanium Star Department of Jiuzhou Technology have actually developed a machine that uses the differential pressure method to detect valve leakage rate!
And they also conducted experiments and theoretical analysis on the various influencing factors of this valve leakage rate, and the reason for doing these experiments was just because the mecha development of "Smart Machine Crisis" needed to use it...
When he first saw this technical product, Li Lun, as a leading figure, thought it was outrageous, but he was still willing to "try" it. He planned to assign this testing task to the student team after handing it over.
But the final test results severely slapped him and the doctoral supervisor team he brought in.
The test results show that the testing instruments of Jiuzhou Technology Titanium Star Department can not only meet the needs of valve leakage rate detection during the final assembly process, but also reduce the impact of human factors in each link of the leak detection process, and improve the reliability of assembly while reducing the difficulty of operation. Moreover, due to the intelligent core components installed, they can provide data support for product quality analysis and continuous improvement during and after the test.
Just like Gu Qing never instructs experts outside his profession to do things, Li Lun is the same.
After being shocked by the Titanium Star Department, Software Engineering Department, and Semiconductor Department, Academician Li almost instantly put down his inner "arrogance" and became a humble and eager old man.
After watching the final assembly and testing, and witnessing the harmonious coexistence of robots with engineers and technicians, and listening to the complaints of Academician Li, the group returned to the launch site through the underground transportation they had come from.
The underground space of the entire Jiuzhou Technology Community was dug into an ant nest.
In addition to the special underground expressway, there is also a long track connecting the rocket assembly plant of the aerospace department to the launch tower of the launch site.
That is the special road for rockets to go to the tower, the transfer track.
After a series of research and development, production, final assembly, and testing, the rocket departs from the final assembly and testing plant, follows this transfer track to the launch tower, and then begins to burn itself and illuminate the future.
Compared with the 2,800 square kilometers of the Daxia Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Jiuzhou Technology's No. 1 Launch Site is a very ordinary and mini version.
Including the launch site, command center, satellite assembly plant that has been in operation for two years, and rocket assembly plant, the total area is only 31 square kilometers.
However, this "small 31 square kilometers" has already burned through tens of billions of funds for Jiuzhou Technology, not to mention the mature products, previous R&D investments, and subsequent continuous investments.
