When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

December 15th.

Wang Donglai has left Beijing and flew straight to Hangzhou.

Because the second World Internet Conference will be held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, Wang Donglai, as the founder of Galaxy Technology, which is currently very popular in China, was naturally invited.

This Internet conference was of extremely high standard, with more than 50 guests attending the conference, 50% of whom were Chinese and 20% were foreign guests. Among them were eight foreign leaders, more than 600 foreign ministerial leaders, heads of more than international organizations, and more than Internet company leaders, Internet celebrities, experts and scholars, covering all areas of cyberspace.

The conference starts on the 16th and lasts until the 18th.

on the plane.

Wang Donglai was looking through information about rocket engines.

As the heart of the rocket, the rocket engine is different from aircraft engines and car engines. It is an engine that can work in a vacuum, unlike aircraft engines which are through-tube engines that can only work in the atmosphere, and even more different from car engines that can only rely on the transmission system to drive the wheels to rotate.

Rocket engines rely on ejecting high-speed combustion gases relative to the movement of the rocket to generate reaction force to propel the rocket, and the focus of the entire engine is how to push huge amounts of fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber efficiently and stably.

Since the fuel will not run into the engine on its own, a powerful system is needed to pressurize the fuel and oxidizer into the engine from giant tanks.

Currently, there are two ways to force fuel and oxidizer into the engine.

One is the extrusion type, which uses compressed gas in a high-pressure cylinder, usually helium, to pressurize the fuel into the engine. This method is usually simpler and easier to manufacture, but it is less efficient and is mainly used on small rockets. Large rockets seem to lack power when using this method.

The second method is pump pressure, which uses a turbopump to pressurize the fuel and oxidizer. This method is relatively complex but also more efficient. Currently, the core stage main engines of mainstream rockets all use this method.

There is another difficulty with this method, which is that a force is needed to drive the turbopump. If it is driven by an electric motor, the performance is too low. After excluding the electric motor drive, there is only one option left, which is to use the combustion cycle of the rocket engine.

Not to mention the high technical content of rocket engines, there are more than a dozen types of combustion methods in rocket engines alone.

Two typical types are the gas generator cycle and the staged combustion cycle.

These things are just the most basic knowledge about rocket engines, and cannot even be considered popular science.

Although Wang Donglai possesses the [Memory Palace], the time he acquired this skill is too short.

In addition, he couldn't stay in the library all the time to read papers and literature, so he still lacked knowledge in some areas.

The rocket engine is Wang Donglai's weak point.

Through previous conversations with Deng Gang, Wang Donglai gained Deng Gang's recognition with his knowledge and abilities.

Therefore, Deng Gang also recommended a lot of information to Wang Donglai.

To be honest, Deng Gang also wanted to see how talented Wang Donglai was and whether he could develop a rocket engine.

Just as Wang Donglai was reading these documents, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Academician Wang!"

Wang Donglai heard the voice, looked up, and saw that the person coming was Lei Bushi.

"Mr. Lei, what a coincidence!" Wang Donglai said with a smile.

Lei Bushi smiled and nodded, then asked, "Academician Wang, do you mind if I sit next to you?"

"Please do as you please, as long as Mr. Lei doesn't mind the economy class!"

Wang Donglai smiled and waved his hands, not minding at all.

Lei Jun did not hesitate and immediately sat down next to Wang Donglai.

"In fact, over the years, I have mostly flown in economy class, not first class!"

After sitting down, Lei Bush explained.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Lei Jun said, Wang Donglai said, "If it was an ordinary person, traveling in economy class, I would think it was thrifty. But for a big boss like Mr. Lei, traveling in economy class, I don't think it is thrifty, it should be abandoned!"

"Oh, why?" asked Reeves curiously.

"The reason is simple. A wealthy boss like Mr. Lei should take the lead in consumption."

With just these few words, Lei Bushi's expression suddenly became serious, and then he regained his composure.

"You're the one who said I don't mind economy class, but you're also the one who said I shouldn't sit in economy class. Academician Wang, you're a bit contradictory!"

Lei Bushi replied lightly with a smile on his face.

Wang Donglai smiled and did not continue the previous topic.

Some things only need to be said once; saying them too many times may offend people.

"Boss Lei, how is the preparation of the new machine going?"

Wang Donglai would not give Lei Jun any face, so he asked about Xiaomi's new phone.

The new phone has not been released yet, so all information about it needs to be kept strictly confidential.

However, the list that needed to be kept confidential did not include Lei Jun, so when he heard Wang Donglai's question, the smile on Lei Jun's face became even more intense.

"The new phone is almost ready. Thanks to Academician Wang's technical patents and products, I am confident that next year will be the beginning of a turnaround for domestic mobile phones!"

When Lei Jun said this, he was extremely confident and full of faith.

No wonder Lei Jun has such confidence.

The performance of the semi-solid-state battery is so excellent that in Xiaomi's internal mobile phone evaluation, the battery of the same size was replaced with a semi-solid-state battery developed by Galaxy Technology, and the battery life can be increased by nearly double, and this is still in the high-energy consumption mode.

If the low-energy mode is adopted, the battery life of the mobile phone can reach one month. If used normally, it can also support users for two days without worrying about power problems.

At the same time, Xiaomi has received technological support from Galaxy Technology, not only in terms of semi-solid-state batteries, but also built-in beauty algorithms. In addition, Galaxy Technology has specially customized and developed Xiao Ai based on Xiaomi's needs.

Xiao Ai is the artificial intelligence mobile assistant that Xiaomi plans to install in all Xiaomi phones.

It was precisely because of this cooperation that Lei Jun and Xiaomi's technical team were completely convinced of Galaxy Technology and Wang Donglai.

Based entirely on their needs, Xiao Ai was developed in just one month.

More importantly, this Xiao Ai is not a mentally retarded machine.

Although it is not as good as Galaxy Technology's artificial intelligence, it has no problem at all when faced with some simple questions. At the same time, through this smart assistant, Xiaomi's mobile phone system has been sorted out, making the phone's performance even better.

Hearing the confidence in Lei Jun's words, Wang Donglai also laughed.

His hard work paid off, as it finally helped domestic mobile phones rise earlier.

Thinking of this, Wang Donglai said, "Boss Lei, I have a small suggestion for you. The new machine can be put forward a little bit."

When Lei Jun heard Wang Donglai say this, he immediately started to think about the reason.

It is unlikely that Wang Donglai would speak without thinking. There must be a reason for what he said.

However, after thinking a lot, Lei Jun still couldn't come up with a reasonable reason.

"Academician Wang, is there any explanation for this?"

Rebus asked sincerely.

Wang Donglai laughed and said, "Boss Lei, don't think too much. I said this just because I want to see Xiaomi's new phone as soon as possible."

Lei Jun looked at Wang Donglai suspiciously and didn't believe what Wang Donglai said. The reason was simple: the phone Wang Donglai used was not Xiaomi's.

Of course, it’s not Apple either.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Academician Wang and move up the press conference. When the time comes, the new phone will be given to Academician Wang first."

Lei Jun is also a decisive person. Although he didn't figure out the reasons behind this, he made the decision in a very short time.

Following Wang Donglai's suggestion, the release date of the new Xiaomi 5s was brought forward.

"Mr. Lei is very courageous!"

Wang Donglai gave Lei Jun a thumbs up and praised him.

After saying this, he returned his gaze to the document in his hand.

Lei Bush followed Wang Donglai's gaze and noticed the document in his hand. After looking at it for a while, Lei Bush said uncertainly, "Is this the information about the rocket engine?"

"Well, it feels quite interesting!" Wang Donglai replied casually.

"Academician Wang, is it true that Galaxy Technology is planning to launch a private rocket?"

Lei Jun had heard this news a long time ago, but he didn't believe it was true.

It is outrageous that private rocket launches are carried out in China.

Lei Jun simply didn't believe this could be true.

However, seeing Wang Donglai looking at the information about rocket engines and Wang admitting it himself, Lei Jun couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lei knew everything!"

Wang Donglai said with a little surprise.

What he didn't know was that every move of Galaxy Technology had been watched by countless people.

The company has already established a private rocket branch, set up a drug research and development laboratory, acquired a pharmaceutical factory, and other actions, which have actually spread a long time ago.

But no one knows why Wang Donglai did this.

In addition, there were many people who wished Wang Donglai would throw money everywhere to distract attention, so everyone just paid attention and no one asked any questions.

Lei Bush hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out: "Academician Wang, we are not the Bald Eagle. The profit prospects of private rocket launch companies are unclear. It is not a good business field!"

"Moreover, this field is highly technical, risky, requires large investments, and has more restrictions. From a business perspective, it is not suitable for entrepreneurship."

“Academician Wang, if you are interested, you can conduct scientific research on rocket engines without actually starting a company.”

Hearing Lei Bushi's advice, Wang Donglai smiled and said immediately: "Boss Lei, remember what I said just now that the rich should take the lead in consumption."

"Das Kapital says that when business develops to a certain level, wealth monopoly will occur. A super-rich person will have unimaginable wealth, while most people will fall into poverty."

"The users who need to consume have no money, and the only users who can consume are the super-rich. No matter how much they waste, it is only a tiny fraction of the overall consumption."

"If this continues, what will happen? I think Mr. Lei is also very clear about it."

“So, after becoming financially free, the rich should just spend as much as they want. Since they are reinvesting their money into the market, they might as well use it to conduct research in some advanced fields.”

"Boss Lei, are you interested in investing?"

Wang Donglai took the initiative to invite Lei Jun.

Lei Jun is a tough guy who completed enough credits for college graduation in just two years, so his IQ is naturally high.

Not only did he understand the hidden meaning of Wang Donglai's words, but he also made a decision in an instant.

"What Academician Wang said makes sense. Wealth comes from the people and is used for the people. It is meaningful only when it is circulated."

"This is a wake-up call. I have gained so much before the Internet Conference even started. This trip is totally worthwhile!"

Lei Jun did not directly answer Wang Donglai's question whether he wanted to invest, but instead praised Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai did not take Lei Jun's praise to heart.

Judging from Lei Jun’s later behavior, he is indeed different from other Internet tycoons.

Donating 13 billion yuan to Wuhan University is definitely a generous move.

Compared with some wealthy people in China who do not donate to domestic universities but instead go to international universities such as Harvard to donate, Lei Jun is completely a breath of fresh air.

"As long as Mr. Lei has something to gain!"

Wang Donglai said lightly.

"Academician Wang, I heard that you and Academician Wang Yifang from the Institute of High Energy Physics had a dispute over the collider. From what I know, some media seem to be ready to make a move."

Lei Jun also knew that his behavior was not fair, so he quickly told a more secret message.

However, this was beyond Lei Jun's expectations.

Wang Donglai's expression did not change much because of this news.

"Right and wrong all lie in the heart of man!"

"Besides, I'm upright and honest, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

Wang Donglai was very open-minded and was not worried about the situation.

For some people, building a large collider has only advantages and no disadvantages, so they naturally want it to be built as soon as possible.

Anyone who stands in the way is the enemy, and we must get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, there are some people who, for various reasons, are eager for the construction of the large collider project to begin, so that they can squeeze out scientific research funds in other fields in China, causing scientific research to stagnate and research to be hindered.

Therefore, when these two groups come together, they can naturally create some waves.

However, Wang Donglai was not worried.

In previous lives, there were no large collider construction projects, and there will be no such projects in this life.

Since there will be no construction, it proves that the wind and waves are not serious.

Lei Bushi didn't know this, but when he saw that Wang Donglai didn't care at all, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

Judging from their current status, Wang Donglai is an academician recognized by the country, while Lei Jun is just an outstanding alumnus of Wuhan University.

In the business field, Lei Jun has rich experience and many achievements. As the founder of Xiaomi, he is wealthy, but he is still far behind Wang Donglai.

In this comparison, Lei Jun can no longer act like a senior in front of Wang Donglai.

After all, this world still depends on strength.

This strength includes financial resources, power and influence.

In the following period of time, Lei Jun didn't want to disturb Wang Dong to look at the information.

After the plane landed in Hangzhou, Wang Donglai and Lei Jun went straight to Wuzhen, where the Internet Conference was held. (End of this chapter)
