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

Chapter 438 Explosion, Secret Base

Thanks to Wang Donglai's performance, Han Ming was less wary of Wang Donglai.

In the research institute, many documents were vulnerable to Wang Donglai.

As long as Wang Donglai wants to see it, Han Ming will satisfy him.

Of course, Wang Donglai also knew his limits and did not look at the core materials involving key technologies.

The purpose of his visit and study was simple from the beginning to the end, which was to have a general understanding of the entire process.

After all, he is taking the private space rocket route.

If the technology is similar or involves infringement of technology patents, that would be a big problem.

Han Ming was also very satisfied with Wang Donglai's understanding.

It’s not that he is unkind, but he is now responsible for the development of rocket engines.

Our country's space development plans are all made in advance, so some work is arranged in advance.

Han Ming's task at this time was to prepare for the launch of the Long March series of rockets.

Because the purpose of each launch is different, there are different requirements for the rocket.

The same will also be reflected in rocket engines.

my country's aerospace technology started late and lagged far behind that of the West. The reason why we were able to catch up so quickly is that we adopted the approach of taking small steps and making fast progress.

Only through rapid iteration can we improve technology bit by bit.

Therefore, for Han Ming, his task is very heavy and cannot be delayed.

If Cheng Li had not come forward and shown him the above notice, and if Wang Donglai was not an internationally renowned mathematician who could be of some help to his research work, Han Ming would never agree to let Wang Donglai join no matter what.

As it is now, Han Ming thinks it is already very good.

for the rest of the time.

Han Ming and his team worked day and night on research, while Wang Donglai watched and learned quietly by the side.

Just like Wang Donglai said before, he came here only with ears and eyes, just watch and listen, and say little and do nothing.

When encountering problems, Wang Donglai would ask questions when Han Ming was not busy.

Han Ming did not deceive Wang Donglai. When encountering a problem, he did not hide it but explained it carefully and in detail.

I have to say, after studying for a few days, Wang Donglai felt more and more that he had made the right decision.

If he hadn't come here, he really wouldn't have known that there are so many tricks in rocket engines.

The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.

In just a few days at the research institute, Wang Donglai gained much more than if he had spent the same amount of time reading materials.

After all, some things will be recorded in the materials, but some will not.

And it is these unrecorded things that are the core.

Human cognition has only reached the atomic stage.

At the micro level, there are still many areas where this cannot be done.

So, when we say that rocket engines are very precise, it is actually just that.

After realizing this, a word emerged in Wang Donglai's mind.

Industrial enchantment!

While studying, Wang Donglai was constantly thinking about his rocket engine design in his mind.

What he had said to Han Ming before about the full-flow combustion engine was not just random talk.

But he really thought so.

SpaceX's Raptor engine uses a full-flow staged combustion scheme, and its fuel is also methane.

These things are not new, but they were all made popular by SpaceX.

Years ago, SpaceX launched successfully, and some people in the aerospace field had already begun to notice this. However, through communication with Han Ming, Wang Donglai discovered that although some people noticed the success of SpaceX, they still did not have much confidence in such a plan.

Only Wang Donglai knew that the future development of SpaceX also confirmed that this technical route was completely feasible.

Learning from SpaceX, it also adopts a full-flow staged combustion solution, plus a stainless steel shell and methane combustion materials.

These things sound simple, but the real core is the engine, the control system, etc.

Since arriving at the institute on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Donglai has been maintaining the same schedule as Han Ming and others.

From eight in the morning until about eleven at night.

Except for going out to eat, the rest of the time was spent in the institute.

This kind of life reminds me of my time in Institute 11.

However, my identity has long been different, so I haven’t encountered any trouble.

In the past few days, Wang Donglai also noticed a phenomenon in the research institute.

That means there are too many people and too little work!
Not all researchers are busy all the time.

A considerable number of researchers seem to be busy but actually do nothing.

Fake busy!
Wang Donglai was not surprised by this situation.

After all, as mentioned before, the scale of the Aerospace Group with hundreds of thousands of people means that such a situation is inevitable.

Although he only stayed there for a few days, Wang Donglai could feel that the corporate diseases that exist in some large companies would also exist here.

In fact, it is even more excessive in some places.

Shaking his head, Wang Donglai didn't intend to get involved in this matter. After all, he didn't have the identity nor the authority.

If he successfully develops private space rockets, then these things will naturally be taken seriously by those above him and changes will be made.

Time passes day by day.

Wang Donglai was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge crazily.

And it was on February 2th.

When Han Ming was busy sorting out the data, Cheng Li ran over in a hurry with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Old Han, the experimental machine exploded!"

Cheng Li didn't say much, but just this one sentence made Han Ming stop what he was doing.

"What's the specific situation?"

Han Ming remained calm and immediately asked about the details.

Cheng Li was also an expert in the matter, so he immediately told Han Ming about it.

There is no space rocket that will not explode.

For those who work in this industry, they have already been mentally prepared.

Only laymen and those who are not clear about the situation would regard the explosion as a big deal.

In fact, there have been many explosions in the country, but most of them happened before the experimental stage and did not cause any loss of life or property, so they were naturally not reported.

However, Han Ming has worked in this industry for many years and naturally knows that this is normal.

However, being normal does not mean being acceptable.

Although every failure brings you one step closer to success, it can also reveal some problems.

However, explosions always bring negative effects.

For example, it affects the R&D cycle and wastes funds. If there are too many explosions, it will also give the higher-ups a negative impression of weak technology.

Cheng Li quickly told Han Ming the information he knew, and after listening to it, he had a rough impression in his mind.

"Captain, I will go to the base immediately."

Han Ming made a decisive decision, which was also approved by Cheng Li.

In just a moment, Han Ming selected a few people from the team and prepared to set off for the base.

But at this moment, Wang Donglai stood up.

"Mr. Han, I have a request, can you take me with you?"

Wang Donglai also heard what Cheng Li said to Han Ming, so when Han Ming selected people to set off, he took the initiative to stand up.

"no!"

Han Ming refused without even thinking.

"Mr. Han, I know the importance of this project. I have signed a confidentiality agreement, so don't worry about me leaking the information."

"Also, I just heard what Director Cheng said. I think I can help you after I go there."

Wang Donglai did not hesitate and recommended himself.

"Since you heard it, what can you do if you go there?"

"Besides, the place we are going to is also a state secret base. The conditions there are not very good. You may not be able to bear it."

Han Ming also realized that his rejection just now was a bit too quick and inappropriate, so he softened his tone.

His tone softened, but that didn't mean Han Ming would agree to let Wang Donglai go with him.

"I think since Engineer Han rushed over so quickly, he must have analyzed the cause of the explosion and investigated the design plan as soon as possible. In this regard, I think I can help a little."

Wang Dong spoke very confidently, with confidence evident between his brows.

At this time, Cheng Li on the side spoke.

"Old Han, I think we can add Academician Wang. With Academician Wang's mathematical achievements, he might be able to help you!"

After hearing what Cheng Li said, Han Ming hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "Academician Wang, I am not against people but against things. I rejected you just now not because I have any opinion about you. I hope you don't mind it."

"I thought about it, and what Academician Wang and the director said makes sense. If Academician Wang doesn't mind the harsh conditions at the base, we can set off together!"

Wang Donglai didn't care and nodded immediately.

……

Sitting in the car and looking at the direction he was heading, a hint of surprise appeared on Wang Donglai's face.

Han Ming noticed it and asked, "Academician Wang, what are you doing?"

"Engineer Han, I have to pass by here every time I go back to my hometown, but I never thought there would be a base here."

Wang Donglai explained to Han Ming with a smile.

"Academician Wang, the location of this base is also confidential information. We can only go in because we have a mission this time. So when we do things, we must pay attention to confidentiality. The location of the base must not be leaked."

Han Ming was a little worried that Wang Donglai was too young and didn't understand the importance of the secret base, so he reminded him seriously.

"I understand!" Wang Donglai nodded in agreement.

Next, everyone closed their eyes and rested without saying a word, preparing for the next work.

Soon, a vehicle with a special license plate drove into the base.

After arriving at the base, Han Ming did not exchange pleasantries with the base's leaders and went straight to the scene under the guidance of the staff.

At the explosion site of the rocket engine, a large amount of engine debris remained.

When Han Ming and others arrived, a group of people were already there.

"Han Gong!"

"Director Ding!"

After Han Ming greeted another middle-aged man who was obviously the leader of the base, he began to analyze the scene.

"Director Ding, you were at the scene and saw the whole process. What do you think caused the explosion?"

"Is it an engine failure, a control system problem, or an unstable fuel supply?"

While analyzing the scene, Han Ming asked Director Ding beside him.

As the director of a secret base that can experiment with rocket engines, Director Ding is certainly a capable person.

Director Ding stood beside Han Ming, looking serious, and said, "We are still unable to determine the cause, but based on the experimental data, my preliminary judgment is that the fuel supply is unstable."

Han Ming nodded and did not say anything else. Instead, he analyzed the explosion scene in detail.

"Oh, yes, this is the data recorded at that time."

As he spoke, Director Ding pointed to the documents placed aside.

Wang Donglai also came to the scene. After carefully looking at the explosion site, he heard Director Ding's words and immediately looked over.

After thinking for a while, Wang Donglai asked Han Ming, "Engineer Han, can I go take a look at the data?"

"of course can!"

Han Ming agreed without thinking.

Director Ding was a little surprised and glanced at Wang Donglai.

"Director Ding, this is the most famous mathematician in our country and also the youngest academician in our country!"

"I've said this so far, you should know who he is!"

Although Wang Donglai's identity could not be confirmed when talking about the most famous mathematician in the country, Director Ding naturally guessed Wang Donglai's identity when talking about the youngest academician in the country.

"So it's him. But isn't he a mathematician? Why did he come with you?" Director Ding asked with some confusion.

"Who says that people who study mathematics can't work on rockets? Once you meet Academician Wang, you will know what a genius is."

Han Ming glanced at Wang Donglai and said this to Director Ding with confidence.

Hearing Han Ming say this, Director Ding immediately became interested and said, "Engineer Han, it's rare to hear you say the word genius. I'm curious about what kind of genius is it that you admire so much!"

While the two were chatting, Wang Donglai also got the data file and started reading it.

The file is filled with various numbers. If it were someone else, they might not be able to understand it for a while, or even feel dizzy.

But Wang Donglai didn't.

With his ability, he memorized the data in a flash and analyzed it quickly.

While Wang Donglai was analyzing the situation in his mind, Han Ming had almost finished his analysis.

"It shouldn't be a quality problem with the engine. Judging from the explosion scene at the scene, I am more inclined to believe that the explosion was caused by an error in the control system!"

Han Ming frowned and gave his own judgment.

Director Ding smiled and said, "Engineer Han, this is the product you designed. You are the one who knows it best. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely find out the cause of the explosion and solve the problem. I feel relieved when you are here. You just need to tell me how to cooperate!"

Upon hearing this, Han Ming was ready to give orders.

however.

At this time, Wang Donglai spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly overturned the previous inferences of Director Ding and Han Ming, and gave his own judgment. (End of this chapter)
