Chapter 307 The Heavy Hammer Project
Xu Lei saw the changes in the faces of the people below, and after a tactical pause for a few seconds, he went straight to the point and stated the purpose of the meeting.

"I called everyone here today because after careful consideration, the company decided to implement a new research plan, and our Institute of Nuclear Fusion is solely responsible for it."

At the same time as the voice sounded, Xingtong had already transmitted the plan to the holographic screen in front of everyone.

The main screen in the conference hall has also changed.

"The Heavy Hammer Project."

First, four bold red characters came into view, and below it was a virtual rocket-like model that was spinning.

Just a little bit thicker.

This proposal is the abbreviated version that Xu Lei created over the weekend, which contains various descriptions of the heavy hammer cruiser, as well as a rough manufacturing and assembly process.

After all, since the Starship Warship is going to be built, if there is not even a rough plan, it will inevitably make the scientific researchers in the research institute think that the company has a feeling of taking it for granted.

At this time, the scientists who saw these contents all showed shocked expressions, as if they did not expect the second project of the institute to still attract people's attention.

Since the establishment of the Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, it has first successfully conquered controllable nuclear fusion, and now it is developing interstellar warships. I am afraid that no other research institute in the world can match this kind of courage and strength.

Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is full of talents.

This is also the reason why Li Chengzhe is willing to serve as the vice president of the institute.

"Dean, is this a battleship?" Li Chengzhe couldn't hold back his excitement at this time, and turned to Xu Lei to ask.

"You're right. The next task of the research institute is to develop this real nuclear fusion engine interstellar warship." Seeing Li Chengzhe's expression that was so excited that he was about to tremble, Xu Lei nodded: "This matter you The vice president has to do his part."

With Xu Lei's personal confirmation, Li Chengzhe could no longer restrain his emotions and clenched his hands tightly.

The heart is turning up the monstrous waves.

Future Technology has successfully conquered controllable nuclear fusion technology with unimaginably amazing efficiency, and deployed fusion power stations at any cost. How could it not have the idea of ​​interstellar warships.

After all, the development of human civilization must be inseparable from interstellar battleships.

Recalling that I was still worrying about prolonging the burning time of the artificial sun two years ago, but now I have to participate in the research and development of interstellar warships.

Undoubtedly, he was lucky.

"Joining the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute of Future Science and Technology based on Dean Yang's suggestion is indeed a correct decision." As thoughts emerged, he secretly sighed in his heart.

As for Wu Chuping on the other side, even more disregarding his identity and the situation he was in, he stood up abruptly: "Dean Xu, your institute really wants to develop an interstellar warship with a nuclear fusion engine?"

"Commander Wu, you made a mistake." Xu Lei stretched out his hand to signal Wu Chuping to sit down temporarily, with a smile on his face all the time: "In fact, the heavy hammer cruiser has completed the rough design with the help of Xingtong, so we It is very sure that it will be produced, and you can learn more detailed information from the Heavy Hammer Project."

After Xu Lei uttered such a heavy message, everyone hesitated, and quickly checked the content on the holographic screen in front of them.

Anyone engaged in scientific research knows that research from scratch and manufacture based on drawings are completely different things.

Among them, the difficulty is even more different.

If, as Xu Lei said, the future science and technology has completed the design of the warship and built the model, then I believe that it will not take long for human beings to have interstellar warships.

After Wu Chuping sat down again, he opened the Hammer Project with excitement and anticipation.

Suddenly detailed data information came into view.

The heavy hammer cruiser is just like the evaluation given by the Science and Technology Museum. Because of its thick and simple structure, it looks inconspicuous, but its combat power is not weak at all.

The entire battleship is 376 meters long and is driven by 6 nuclear fusion power engines.

The main weapon is equipped with two heavy-duty rail guns, nine space torpedo launch ports in the front, and 42 large-caliber close-in rapid-fire guns.

In addition, 6 planetary landing ships and 3 repair ships can be parked in the two sides of the ship.

Although the length of this battleship is not yet up to the level of a medium-sized warship, its relatively complete configuration is enough for human civilization to truly have excellent space combat capabilities.

In addition, according to the nuclear fusion power engine manufacturing technology carried by the Heavy Hammer Cruiser, the performance of the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power plant can be further optimized, and then a cargo warship for transporting planetary resources can be designed by itself.

Or a small shuttle between the surface of the planet and the spaceport.

In short, all the manufacturing technology knowledge of the heavy hammer cruiser should be brought into full play and completely squeezed out.

In this way, the value of the 3000 million influence will not be wasted.

The most important thing is that this approach is more conducive to the development of human civilization. Otherwise, all types of warships must be obtained through science and technology museums, which would be putting the cart before the horse.

Human beings can accept the help of science and technology museums, but they must not form dependence.

Xu Lei saw this point very thoroughly.

Soon.

Wu Chuping was the first to read through the contents of the proposal.

Although many have not had time to take a closer look, but based on the knowledge he has acquired, he can judge that this heavy hammer cruiser can be manufactured with great confidence.

Thinking of the fact that the Mars military base currently has only one nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft, the construction progress is quite slow, which is completely incomparable with the original construction of the Lunar Guanghangong Base.

But once the heavy hammer cruiser is in service, let alone the 6 planetary landing ships that come with it, the flying speed of the light battleship is one-thousandth of the speed of light, and the efficiency can be directly maximized. day time.

The heart in his chest was beating violently uncontrollably, and he resolutely promised on the spot: "Dean Xu, regarding the manufacture of the heavy hammer cruiser, no matter what is needed in the process, our space agency will help unconditionally, and you can just mention it."

"I believe the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the same." Li Chengzhe next to him said not to be outdone.

As for the many scientific researchers sitting below, they were also full of excitement and anticipation at this time, wishing to put themselves into the manufacturing work immediately.

For them, everyone knew in their hearts what this heavy hammer cruiser represented, which was equivalent to pushing human civilization to a whole new level.

The significance of it is unimaginable.

As participants in the Heavy Hammer Project, not to mention that their names will be remembered by history, at least this honor is extremely heavy.

Seeing the high voices of everyone for the Heavy Hammer Project and their full confidence, Xu Lei couldn't help but relax a lot, knowing that the Heavy Hammer cruiser will soon be formally commissioned.

It turns out how wise it is to make a plan before the meeting starts.

In any case, everyone's emotions were mobilized by him.

Still fulfilling the old saying, if you don't know how to lead a team, you can only work until you die.

"That's great. With your words, I am more confident in making heavy hammer cruisers." Xu Lei nodded at the two of them respectively, and then formally issued orders: "From tomorrow, the heavy hammer plan will be implemented. Priority must be given to the manufacture of the components of the Hammer Cruiser."

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Wu Chuping again: "Commander Wu, the near-Earth spaceport may have to trouble your space agency to make modifications."

"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Wu Chuping agreed wholeheartedly.

Since the spaceport was completed and put into operation in recent months, the near-Earth spaceport has become much deserted.

More or act as the counterweight of the space elevator.

Under normal circumstances, the Shenzhou spacecraft flying back from the moon will directly dock with the Tiangong space station to complete the transportation of materials.

Because the various components of the Heavy Hammer Cruiser will be assembled in space after they are manufactured, the near-Earth spaceport, which is basically idle, is the most suitable place.

However, in order to serve as a place for warship assembly, only a simple space port function is not enough, and it will take some time to transform.

For example, adding a powerful and flexible space robot arm.

At that time, the research institute will provide a detailed transformation plan, and it will not be difficult for the space agency to pass the space elevator.

In short, it is still within Xu Lei's plan so far.

At this point in the meeting, the basic main content has been explained, so Xu Lei simply arranged for the fusion power station and Qiankun No. [-] device in the following time.

With the nuclear fusion power engine manufacturing technology, Qiankun-[-] must be directly optimized, and no matter where it is mounted, it will be able to have a super high speed. After all, this is a real battleship engine, and the speed in space can reach thousands of miles. One-fifth of the speed of light exists.

Afterwards, when the meeting ended, everyone left quickly, wanting to take advantage of the remaining half of the day today to carefully study the heavy hammer plan that was full of dry goods.

Because Wu Chuping was specially called by Xu Lei from Dengtian Island to help, and he will also participate in the manufacturing of battleship components in the future, so he will stay in the research institute for the time being.

All the work on Dengtian Island is on the right track.

The operation of the space elevator and the operation of the Guanghan Palace on the moon have their own set of careful procedures.

As long as there is no emergency, there is no need for Wu Chuping to take command. As for the Mars military base that is still under construction, since most of the time is spent watching the spacecraft fly in space, there is no need to worry about it in real time.

It is worth mentioning that after repeated consideration by Xu Lei, Xu Lei finally decided to carry out the heavy hammer plan in secret, and did not choose to make it public.

Mainly different from the previous product technology, the interstellar battleship is a real killer.

At least that's the case for Earthstar.

If it is made public in a high-profile manner, it will inevitably cause some people to panic.

Especially overseas.

At that time, there may be talk that future technology will dominate the planet and rule all mankind.

Although Future Technology doesn't care about these at all now, in order to create a good environment for the manufacture of heavy hammer cruisers, it is still necessary to carry out this plan secretly.

On the day when the Hammer Cruiser is officially launched, no matter what the wind and waves are, it will not be able to turn over.

This makes the public unaware that when they are still immersed in the joy of reducing prices of all Future Technology products to give back to users, Future Technology is manufacturing interstellar warships that can affect the progress of human civilization.

That's probably how sci-fi movies come into reality.

-

the next morning.

Binjiang City.

Ping County.

Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

When it was time to go to work, more than a hundred scientific researchers were already in place.

At this moment, they were divided into several teams and stood outside the laboratory, but without exception, their eyes were all focused on Xu Lei in front.

Quietly listening to Xu Lei ordering tasks to Gu Sanlin in front of him.

"Professor Gu will be responsible for the materials required for each component of the battleship. I will ask Xingtong to send you the relevant information later. Be sure to ensure the supply of materials for each department."

"It's the dean, I promise to complete the task." Gu Sanlin puffed out his chest and solemnly promised.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of the heavy hammer project and save time as much as possible, Xu Lei transferred some researchers from the company's research center.

More than 100 scientists have successfully participated in the Heavy Hammer Project.

Gu Sanlin, as a top scientist in the field of materials, how could he be absent from this kind of project.

Xu Lei has great trust in Gu Sanlin's ability. At present, many advanced materials in the company's hands can be used directly, and the rest is not a problem according to the corresponding synthesis technology. It just needs to spend some time and energy.

After dealing with the materials, Xu Lei didn't move, and his eyes shifted to Wu Chuping next to him.

He said very humbly: "Commander Wu, I entrust you to take charge of the main structural armor compartment of the battleship."

"Should be."

Hearing this, Wu Chuping nodded calmly, and did not take credit for it.

As for Li Chengzhe, the vice president of the research institute, Xu Lei arranged to be in charge of the engine system of the battleship.

Build those six fusion powered engines.

In the evening, Xu Lei had already assigned warship manufacturing tasks according to each person's field of expertise, so it only took ten minutes to complete the arrangement at the morning meeting.

In this way, everyone has a corresponding task, and the efficiency will be improved a lot.

If you encounter difficulties in the manufacturing process of battleship components, it is not a problem to have star pupils and virtual helmets. You can completely construct a virtual scene based on the technology in Xu Lei's mind, and then let everyone simulate the experience to overcome it independently.

In this case, when the heavy hammer cruiser is manufactured, everyone's level will also be improved to a certain extent.

Of course, Xu Lei, who manufactures the heavy hammer cruiser, will definitely not be idle.

After all, in addition to the overall cabin structure and the core engine power system of the heavy hammer cruiser, weapons and equipment are also important components.

Originally, Xu Lei was supposed to be responsible for the manufacture of nuclear fusion power engines, but for the researchers in the research institute and research center, the field of weapons involves military industry, which they are not good at.

Especially the heavy-duty railgun as the main weapon uses the powerful energy of the nuclear fusion reaction to accelerate the projectile. Its technology does not know how many years ahead of the planet.

In space combat, it is indispensable to destroy enemy warships and spaceships.

If the heavy railgun cannot be manufactured, then even if all the other components of the Hammer Cruiser are completed and transported to the near-Earth spaceport by space elevator to complete the assembly, it is just an ordinary warship that can only be used for flight transportation.

There is no combat power to speak of.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a moving target in space.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Xu Lei decided to personally be responsible for the manufacture of the main and auxiliary weapons of the battleship.

Fortunately, after Hong Liang learned about the heavy hammer plan, he directly called in several experts in the military industry to support and help, which immediately relieved Xu Lei's pressure a lot.

It is true that Xu Lei has detailed technical knowledge in his mind, but it is the first time for a new daughter-in-law to engage in weapons.

Without rich experience, the process will definitely be more bumpy.

The military experts sent by Yu Hongliang just made up for this weakness.

He is confident that the heavy railgun will be the first core component of a completed cruiser.

……

……

"Zhao Gong and Su Gong, welcome to our research institute for exchange and study."

Near noon, Xu Lei finally saw the two military experts sent by Yu Hongliang, and took the initiative to greet them.

"Principal Xu, you are being polite. When you arrive, the conductor has already told us to cooperate with you." Zhao Jingbin who hastily stretched out his hand to hold Xu Lei had a gentle smile on his face.

As for Sunan next to him, he was more straightforward: "I don't know what type of weapon you want to develop?"

Although Yu Hongliang knew about the Heavy Hammer Project, he didn't know the specific content. He only thought that Xu Lei was developing a very powerful weapon.

Thinking of the relationship between myself and Xu Lei, which is almost forgetful, naturally I have to express it.

In this way, when the weapons are manufactured in the future, their bases can also be equipped first.

So a transfer order was issued, and two military experts in the base were arranged to help, so that Zhao Jingbin and Sunan rushed to Ping County, Binjiang City before they could figure out the mission of the trip.

For the big name of future technology, no one does not know now.

What's more, the Future Science and Technology Research Institute has just conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, which naturally aroused great curiosity in Sunan.

I want to know what kind of weapons I want to develop when future technology suddenly involves the military industry.

Xu Lei understands that Yu Hongliang will definitely not fool him, so the level of these two people must be fine. Looking carefully, Zhao Jingbin, who always has a smile on his face, is a little older, and he can see the gray hair on the temples. Over fifty.

On the contrary, Sunan looked young, probably less than forty.

Since they will also participate in the research and development of heavy rail guns in the future, Xu Lei will definitely not deliberately hide anything.

Then it will introduce the jackhammer plan in detail, as well as the heavy rail gun.

"The heavy hammer project we launched this time is mainly to manufacture interstellar warships, and what you will participate in later is the research and development of the heavy railgun, the main weapon of the battleship."

The voice just fell.

Zhao Jingbin and Sunan's eyes widened immediately.

The whole person was in extreme shock.

"Star Warship?!"

"Main weapon."

"Heavy Railgun?!"

On the way here, they did guess the type of weapon that the future technology would develop, but they never thought that it would be an interstellar warship.

After all, this is equipment that far surpasses the current understanding of human civilization.

After a few seconds, Sunan was the first to react, and asked with a trembling voice: "Dean Xu, what you said is true, do you have any corresponding information?"

As an expert in the military industry, there is absolutely no resistance to such things as star warship heavy rail guns.

If you can really participate in the research and development, then this trip to Binjiang City is really the right one.

Facing Sunan's questioning, Xu Lei did not answer directly, but took the initiative to wake up Xingtong.

"Xingtong, call up the relevant information about the heavy railgun."

"It's the boss."

With Xingtong's voice, a holographic screen projection suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is part of the information about the heavy rail gun. You can read it first." Seeing the holographic screen in front of him, Xu Lei briefly explained the situation to Zhao Jingbin and Sunan.

In fact, Xu Lei didn't need to say much, Sunan and Zhao Jingbin had already focused their attention on the holographic screen, looking at the content on it with fascination.

This time, more than ten minutes passed before the two looked back and murmured softly to themselves: "Using the energy of nuclear fusion reaction to launch cannonballs can reach up to twice the distance from the earth to the sun. It's too strong."

Seeing that the two had successfully developed a strong interest in the Heavy Hammer Project, Xu Lei immediately hit the rails while it was still hot with a smile on his face: "Just today, the Heavy Hammer Project has officially started to be implemented. With your participation, I believe that this heavy railgun will soon be able to become a reality." Put into use."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jingbin and Sunan didn't want to continue wasting time, and immediately set an example from the bottom of their hearts.

"As long as Dean Xu believes in us, then we will do our best to help your firm complete the manufacturing of the interstellar warship."

With the guarantee of the two, after lunch at noon, the weapon system in charge of Xu Lei finally started vigorously, and the whole research institute was in a tense state.

-

In the next few months, as Gu Sanlin and the others researched the materials needed for the cruiser in turn, the progress of Wu Chuping and Li Chengzhe's department suddenly accelerated a lot.

A large number of parts were produced, and the preliminary assembly and debugging were completed in the research institute.

Besides.

With the efforts of Xu Lei, Zhao Jingbin, and Sunan, the weapon system of the battleship was gradually perfected and formed.

Especially those two heavy-duty rail guns, just from the outside, they are full of chilling air.

However, the launch of the heavy-duty railgun requires nuclear fusion reaction to provide energy, so the final assembly with the hull needs to be completed before the initial launch test can be carried out.

However, after all, Xu Lei personally participated in the weapon system, and after many simulations and adjustments by Xingtong, it is definitely less prone to problems than other parts of the battleship.

As long as each component is completely completed, it can be transported to the space port by space elevator to complete assembly.

Under the transformation of the space agency, the near-Earth spaceport basically has the function of warship assembly, and now it is waiting for the day when the battleship is officially assembled and launched.

I believe that it will also give people around the world an extremely shocking surprise.

Wednesday, October 2030, 3.

spring equinox.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the headquarters building at night, Xu Lei, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his arms and gently touched his temples, with a little regret on his face.

"The influence is still far behind. It seems that we need to find a new way of earning money."

Just now, his consciousness was still immersed in the science and technology museum, checking the growth of influence. In the past six months, through the company's product price reduction and promotion, he successfully built a new fusion power station, but the total influence has barely reached 2000 million points.

There is still a big gap from the 3000 million points required to view the technical permissions of the second-level civilization technology exhibits, and it is really necessary to improve the earning efficiency.
