Chapter 834

A group of people soon arrived at the space shuttle assembly center.

The factory in the center of the whole assembly center is the birthplace of Xiangrui and the cradle of a series of spacecraft produced by star technology.

At this moment, in this huge workshop, there is a long strip of metal ship. The reason why it is a ship body is that its huge volume is really like a nuclear submarine rather than a spacecraft sailing in outer space.

Because the long and narrow ship body can not bear its own gravity, the whole ship body is divided into three sections, which are fixed and suspended by a solid mechanical framework.

At the moment of entering the factory, the Russian delegation was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right curiously.

Mr. grugeoff and a group of bureaucrats from the Ministry of economy and development were lucky. Those Aerospace experts who went to France with a delegation from the Ministry of economy and development, after seeing the look of the magpie bridge, could not wish to grow their eyes on it.

In particular, Professor Kaufman, an expert of Russia Aerospace state corporation and a member of the Russian Academy of engineering, who has been following Mr. gruff, was so surprised that he could not help but drop his chin on the ground.

The Russian delegation has been standing by the giant for five minutes, gruff said with exclamation.

"Unbelievable Is this your ship? "

"Magpie bridge," said Lu Zhou with a smile, "if you call it a spaceship, it's also true. Sometimes when I look at this thing, I think it's more like a ship than a spaceship."

At this time, academician Kaufman, who had been standing beside grujeff and had not spoken, could not help but say.

"Such a big ship How are you going to get into space? "

As soon as this sentence is asked, many Chinese people standing next to me are immediately nervous.

The visit belongs to the visit, but when it comes to the technical level, everyone is sure to cover it tightly.

Minister Yang is going to come forward to make a round and take the topic to another direction. However, seeing the reassuring eyes of Lu Zhou, he stops talking.

Looking at the fanatical academician Kaufman, Lu Zhou smiled and said: "we launch in three times, first the command module, then the cargo bin, finally the engine, and then the docking and assembly in outer space."

Although it's just a understatement, after hearing it, Russian experts were shocked.

Spacecraft docking has always been a difficulty in space technology. The more components need to be docked, the higher the risk of the whole launch process. Currently, the relatively mature docking technology in the world only achieves the goal of splitting the spacecraft into two parts and launching it into outer space for rendezvous and docking.

However, the words "land boat" tell him that China has now been able to split a spacecraft into three parts, head, body and tail, and launch it into outer space to get together. Even minister gruff's face can't help but look shocked.

"I didn't expect that your launch technology has reached this level..." Looking at the magpie bridge lying on the bracket, grugeoff's face was full of complex expressions, "may I ask, is it an electric propulsion system?"

Lu Zhou: "electric propulsion system is the future trend. The market in outer space can be completed without a lot of thrust. Advantages of chemical rockets It's over close to the edge of the gravity well. "

Gruffev and academician Kaufman standing beside looked at each other for a moment, exchanging the shock in their eyes.

Yang, head of the Ministry of Commerce, coughed gently, smiled friendly and said.

"So far as the visit of the space shuttle assembly center is concerned, there are many excellent enterprises in our space industrial park looking forward to cooperating with you."

"It's also true that I have been in Star Technology for a long time," said grujeff with a smile. "Then please invite Minister Yang to show us other excellent enterprises in your country."

Along the rest of the way, gruff seemed to be lacking in interest. The experts from Russia who followed him also became critical.

Although there are many excellent aerospace enterprises in the Aerospace Industrial Park, none of them can reach the level of star technology. Some of them are huge in size. The scale of the park is several times larger than that of Star Technology's factory. However, they are lack of technology. No matter how advanced the production equipment or what they produce, they are not very advanced. Some of them have some very pioneering and even eye-catching technologies, but the company's body size is not large, and it can only achieve the degree of accessory suppliers at the top of the sky, which will not lead to a big climate.

But after discovering this, gruff was relieved.

Fortunately, there is only one star technology.

If there is another space enterprise with R & D capability and strong production capacity, the strength of China's space industry will be terrifying

The rest of the trip was not accompanied by the Russian delegation, but at the diplomatic banquet held at Zijinshan hotel in the evening, as the chief designer of the moon orbit construction committee, the boat still had to go there and enjoy its face.The banquet is in Chinese style.

Although he was sitting at the same table with gruff and Minister Yang, Lu Zhou didn't speak much during the dinner.

He is not very good at such special formal banquet occasions. Unless someone offers to talk to him, he will not open his mouth. Instead, he will pay almost half of his attention to the delicacies on the table.

However, Minister gruff, who was shocked by the technology of Star Technology in the morning, apparently didn't intend to let him go so easily. During the meeting, he spoke to him peacefully.

"In fact, I've always been curious that the aerospace industry is not a strong field of China, but it has developed so rapidly in recent years. Is it convenient to reveal how you did it?"

Lu Zhou didn't particularly avoid this problem. He smiled and said, "find a right direction and make it the best."

Gruff made a helpless expression and raised his glass.

"It sounds too abstract."

"It depends on how you understand it," he continued after a drink with Minister gruff and a taste of the boat. "To find the right direction is also to find the way to achieve our goals. This is the work of researchers. It's a great honor that the experts we have worked with are quite outstanding scholars. With their help, I have solved many problems. "

"What's the best way to do it?" he asked with interest

"Enough funds, or to put it in a more specific way, is the national executive power," continued Lu. "Or to put it more simply, we should concentrate on major issues and allocate limited resources in the right place. At present, the main problems faced by the aerospace industry are commercialization and scale. The former determines the way out, while the latter determines the cost. We have solved the problem of scale by concentrating our efforts on major issues. Then there is commercialization. How to cooperate with other countries and how to guide private capital into this field will become our main task. "

"Scale first, is it commercialization?" "But does this violate the objective law of market economy?" he asked with a smile

"Different people have different opinions on this question," Lu Zhou said with a light smile. "At the beginning, the queen of Spain funded Columbus's voyage and finally found the new continent. I want to ask Mr. gruff if this is in line with the objective law of market economy?"

"It's a very interesting question, maybe it doesn't match But is there a connection? "

"Of course, there is a connection. The ultimate goal of the aerospace industry is to go out of our homes and open up our living space, which is essentially the same as the discovery of a new continent," Lu Zhou raised his glass, once again touched minister gruff's glass, and then continued, "the market is the catalyst for social development, but not all things are in line with the development of the market The laws of the field, at least, have never been mathematically

"Hahaha, your viewpoint is very interesting," said Minister gruff with a straightforward smile after drinking all the red wine in the cup. Looking at the boat, he issued a sincere invitation. "If I have the opportunity, I sincerely invite you to visit Russia, and the scholars in Moscow will certainly be willing to discuss this issue with you in depth."

"There will be a chance," Lu said with a smile. "If things go well, I may go to St. Petersburg next year to attend the International Congress of mathematicians."

"If you do come, we will hold a grand welcome ceremony for you and witness the friendship between the two scholars," minister gruff solemnly promised
