Chapter 826 "Jingtian No. 1"

Lay the foundation with the framework.

Fill the flesh with the power system.

Lay the outer skin with the skin.

Connect the tendons and bones with rivets.

In the No. 2 plant, the shape of the rocket is becoming more and more complete and fuller.

In the No. 1 plant, the number of "mortise and tenon" platforms has reached four, which is getting closer and closer to Zhou Rui's goal of eight.

Thanks to mass production optimization and process iteration, the speed will get faster and faster.

During the National Day holiday, Zhou Rui gave everyone a holiday, but for the three times the salary, it was not for the company's progress. Most of the staff stayed, and a small number of staff took only two or three days off through adjustment.

This year's National Day, although not every five or ten, still has a strong festive atmosphere, ushering in a consumption peak, of course, it is also a traffic jam peak, and a congestion peak. Instead of queuing up for the toilet in various scenic spots, it is better to work comfortably at the base.

After all, it is a newly established company, everyone is very motivated and wants to show off.

On October 3rd, Wanhu Base welcomed several guests.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to learn from you."

"Director Sun is joking. Welcome to guide our work."

At the entrance of the base, Zhou Rui met the visiting team of the Space Administration, led by Director Sun of the Space Administration and Li Changping, Director of the System Engineering Department.

As a deep cooperation partner of the Space Administration and the only position of private aerospace at present, Taiyi Tiangong and the Space Administration are currently the left and right legs of China's aerospace industry.

The left leg is more flexible and the right leg is stronger.

The cooperation and content of the two sides can be said to be very close. Taiyi Tiangong is gradually on the right track, so naturally I have to come and take a look, and by the way, see if there is anything I need help with.

It's a bit regrettable to say that Zhou Rui's entry into the aerospace industry did not activate a large number of "private enterprises" participants, but instead made the outside world a little daunting.

Master Zhou and Kaiming Intelligence are too awesome. Before I understand what this big guy is doing, I rushed into the game and crashed into it, which is funny.

The wait-and-see mood is strong.

Director Sun looked around the base. There were many construction sites in the distance. The most eye-catching one should be a towering steel structure, which is extremely rare in the industrial zone.

"That is the smart tower, it is more impressive than the information."

Zhou Rui said: "It is bigger than the one in the smart town. It will be used to deploy all outdoor non-production smart equipment and maintain the park situation."

The external environment is okay, but when Director Sun entered the No. 2 plant, the sense of the future that came to him was overwhelming.

Although there was enough psychological expectation, there was still an illusion that the hot torrent of the times was hitting the tonsils.

Zhou Rui introduced the various configurations and functions of the fully intelligent plant along the way, and even introduced the "engineering exoskeleton" that was not yet completed but looked very good.

The director was speechless.

After Chang'e 3, he was almost retired. The honors he should have received were basically completed by next year, and it was almost time for him to retire.

He couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, I retired early, otherwise I would have been killed by President Zhou!

But thinking that the relationship between the two sides is so close, everyone can share what they have!

Director Sun said: "Mr. Zhou, are you selling this intelligent rocket factory? We have many bases across the country, and they can all be transformed."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Sell it, why not? It was originally the business scope of Kaiming Intelligent. We helped Rongfei and 602 Institute of Aero-Engine to upgrade, but this one is the culmination of all, it's best to wait until we finalize the technical details before starting."

Director Sun rubbed his hands: "That's great, we can discuss this matter, but this kind of transformation is probably very expensive, right?"

The Aerospace Administration is a big business, but like many state-owned units, every penny has its own prescribed use, it's not like you can spend it however you want.

"They can be deducted from each other. Before the Ryukyu launch base is built, we will have intensive launch needs. I hope Director Sun will give priority to it."

"No problem. The launch needs of Taitian are naturally the highest priority. By the way, has Mr. Zhou named this rocket?"

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "It is temporarily named 'Jingtian No. 1'."

Director Sun's eyes lit up: "What a good name."

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "It means 'the rocket is like offering incense to the sky'."

Director Sun's smile gradually froze: "This is quite unique."

Zhou Rui spread his hands "No way, all the good names have been used up by you, such as Tianwen, Zhurong, Chang'e, Kuafu, Mengzhou, Shenzhou, Queqiao"

"You can name as many as you want, but we have limited room to play"

Director Sun coughed lightly: "After all, we were the only one before."

Zhou Rui suddenly said: "Let's discuss Director Sun, can you give me some of those names that you have only established projects but not even the shadows? Otherwise, it will be really difficult to name them."

"Okay, okay"

Everyone continued to visit, and just after entering the No. 1 delivery room, Director Sun's mobile phone suddenly rang.

He took a look, gestured, and went to the side to answer the call, but soon walked back, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Director Sun: "NASA across the street held a press conference and announced the lunar exploration plan."

Zhou Rui: "Oh, hasn't it been called for 20 years? What's so strange?"

"From the content of the announcement, it seems to be true this time."

"What do you mean?"

"It's obvious that it means to snipe us."

————————

An hour ago, across the ocean, NASA held a press conference in Washington, where its headquarters is located.

The press conference here is more entertaining in form, directly in the form of a TV program, and the broadcast rights are sold to one of the major media.

Although NASA has launched more empty cannons than rockets in the past few decades.

However, due to China's multiple space breakthroughs in recent months and the personal involvement of Master Zhou, the discussion in the field of space has remained high, so a mainstream media bought the broadcast rights.

Sold for a good price.

Everyone in the audience was curious about what explosive news NASA was going to release this time.

As long as the media people with a little experience know, NASA likes to release long-term plans. It is definitely difficult to do, but it sounds absolutely exciting.

Then year by year, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally when it was about to expire, the plan was quietly announced to be cancelled. At that time, no one paid attention and was forgotten by everyone.

Few ordinary people can pay attention for more than 10 years, and most people's memory is less than 10 years.

Return to the moon in 1990, return to the moon in 2000, return to the moon in 2010, and return to the moon in 2017.

In the end, this excuse may have been used too much, and it was replaced with:

Build a permanent lunar base in 2020, build a Mars base in 2025, and mine asteroids in 2030.

Of course, the more radical ones are commercial aerospace companies, which claim to have Mars tourism + immigration within 5 years, but few people believe it, mainly overseas.

However, every time it will attract enough attention, how can things in the scientific community be called bragging?

That's called "adjusting the plan."

But this time, the news released was unusually grounded.

It was even a bit too simple.

NASA Director Billy Nelson walked to the front of the studio and announced the content of the "plan" released this time.

"As we all know, we have conquered the moon, but scientific exploration is endless."

"Taking into account the geological changes of the moon and the different scientific research values ​​of different regions, we will prepare to launch the world's most advanced probe to land on the moon for scientific research and exploration, and accumulate data for returning to the moon in 2017."

Although the statement is very inflammatory, talking about historical achievements and technological development, the substantive content is very down-to-earth.

It's just a probe landing on the moon

Yes, there is no mention of astronauts landing on the moon, no mention of building a base on the moon, let alone Mars.

"Director Nelson, what's the time?"

On the TV show, the typical old white man said confidently: "2015."

There was a trance below, it's so close?

That is, only about a year?

This time

It made many people realize that it might be real
