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

In 1896, Russian rocket expert Zilkovsky proposed the idea and design principles of manufacturing large liquid rockets in his paper "Conquering the Universe with Rockets".

In 1903, he published the first book on jet motion, using jet tools to study outer space and proposing in a relatively complete manner the concept and principles of how to use liquid to propel rockets.

If it were in China, most people with a high school education would mention a name called "Wan Hu", saying that he was the first person in aerospace.

But if you are a college student majoring in history, you will mention that this person's original name was Tao Chengdao. Because he liked to make elixirs, he turned to trial-making firearms after an accident. In the late Yuan Dynasty, he assisted Wu Wang Zhu Yuanzhang, made military achievements in many wars, and was rewarded with "Wanhu". That's why his original name was forgotten.

The reason why this person went down in history is that he was the first person to use a rocket to fly into space. However, due to the limitations of the times and technology, he used 47 homemade rockets tied to a chair and held two large kites in both hands, hoping to use the thrust of the rockets and the power of the kites to take off. As a result, he lost his life for this.

From the perspective of historical documents, my country is indeed the birthplace of aerospace technology, because the ancestor of aerospace is Tao Chengdao.

If we look at it from a mythological perspective, it is even more amazing. Chang'e's flight to the moon pushed the timeline to the first place in the world.

But from a practical point of view, in 1596, Mao Xiong experts proposed the concept and design principles.

On March 1926, 3, a rocket expert and physicist from Bald Eagle tested the first liquid rocket.

From then on, the true space age began.

However, the development of my country's aerospace industry lags behind that of developed countries by several decades.

As for private space rocket companies, this idea was only proposed in a white paper last year.

So, from this perspective, the Galaxy Technology Space Rocket Company founded by Wang Donglai is definitely the first private space rocket company in China.

Even though there was an intention to push for Galaxy Technology to be used as an advanced example, the relevant procedures took more than half a year.

Even though Galaxy Technology is preparing to develop a launch vehicle, there are not many secrets involved.

However, there is not much difference between launch vehicles and missiles. Although there are differences in mission objectives, aerodynamic layout, structure and scale, the main components are similar, including rocket body structure, propulsion system, control system, flight measurement and safety system, additional systems, etc.

As a result, the release of photos by private aerospace rocket companies is naturally very strict.

The country has its own national conditions.

Wang Donglai never thought that he would be able to completely break away from the Aerospace Group and launch the first rocket from the beginning.

However, Wang Donglai understood that he must have real skills, such as rocket engines.

After leaving the research institute, Wang Donglai stayed in Galaxy Technology and never went out.

As a true artificial intelligence, Wa's powerful capabilities on the Internet also provide great convenience for Wang Donglai.

For example, with the help of Wa's online information retrieval capabilities, Wang Donglai found a lot of important information.

For example, using Wa's computing power, Wang Donglai was able to adjust the technical parameters of rocket engine development to the optimal range.

The effect of artificial intelligence + Wang Donglai is even more exaggerated than adding wings to a tiger.

The time required for a brand new rocket engine with independent patents to be developed from project initiation to actual development can be as short as one or two years or as long as more than ten years.

I don’t know how much manpower, material resources and financial resources will be required.

However, no one expected that Wang Donglai would have a rough design in just a few months.

The industrial chain for the research, development and production of launch vehicles is actually similar to that of missile weapon systems. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly divided into engineering development, which specifically involves the overall demonstration and design of launch vehicles, including overall rocket design and subsystem design, simulation testing, and experimental parts.

The midstream of the industrial chain is mainly based on sample design, production and manufacturing, and model assembly after the launch vehicle is developed and finalized. The industrial chain is further subdivided according to the supporting processing and production of components, subsystem integration, and model integration.

As for the downstream of the industrial chain, it mainly consists of flight tests and application launches of launch vehicles. The overall design unit of the launch vehicle is mainly responsible for transporting it to the launch site. At the same time, relevant units of the aerospace tracking and control network must also participate in the formal launch of the rocket.

This process does not distinguish between public and private enterprises.

This entire industrial chain involves military industrial groups such as China Aerospace Science and Technology, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, as well as their affiliated enterprises and institutions.

Even the few private enterprises among them were founded by people from within the aerospace system.

Therefore, Wang Donglai did not come from the aerospace system, and the people he recruited were not bigwigs in the aerospace system. Naturally, he was not favored by everyone from the first moment.

After all, a rocket is a highly integrated high-tech product.

Any problem in any link will result in the failure of the expensive rocket launch.

In this case, it is necessary to ensure that there are no problems in every link.

You can imagine how difficult it is to do this just by thinking about it.

Only organizations have the courage, financial resources, human and material resources to support it.

Even the bald eagle's SpaceX was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, and finally survived by relying on capital transfusions.

As an important city in China, Tangdu has almost as many aerospace research institutes as it has scenic spots and historical sites.

With so many research institutes, over the years, a large number of related companies and businesses have naturally been accumulated.

The private aerospace rocket company established by Galaxy Technology has only been established for a short time, so it is naturally impossible for it to produce on its own, so it must cooperate with other companies.

Galaxy Technology provides the design drawings, and then the partner company conducts production experiments.

If successful, Tangdu can provide a one-stop service from the start of production to the final launch.

Even Galaxy Technology can outsource the design from the very beginning.

As long as money is paid, the aerospace group's research institute can also take over the project of developing rocket engines and overall system control, all the way to launch.

Wang Donglai has received relevant marketing information since he founded Galaxy Technology.

Han Ming also mentioned this matter vaguely.

End of March.

"You gave me a big surprise."

"You said you were going to study, but you ended up coming up with a mathematical model to detect problems with rocket engines."

"I want you to study harder now. I don't know what you can come up with."

The person who spoke was Yang Anchao.

Wang Donglai smiled and said modestly: "Chief Engineer Yang, mathematics itself is a tool. Applying theory to practice is the right way."

"I just did a small thing, it's nothing." Hearing Wang Donglai say this, Yang Anchao smiled and said, "You have the technology, you can say whatever you want, I won't argue with you about this."

"But are you serious about what you are looking for me to do this time?"

As he spoke, Yang Anchao's expression turned serious.

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Chief Engineer Yang, of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"

Yang Anchao looked Wang Donglai up and down, with a look of doubt and confusion, and then he said, "Tell me the truth first, what do you want to do by meeting the person in charge of Zhongtian Rocket this time?"

"I know you are the founder of Galaxy Technology. If it involves commercial secrets, you don't have to tell me everything. Just give me a rough idea."

As the chief engineer of the Shenzhou V spacecraft, Yang Anchao has worked in the aerospace system for decades and has contacts all over the world.

It is not a problem at all to introduce a person in charge to Wang Donglai.

However, he did not introduce it rashly, but asked a question out of seriousness.

"Chief Engineer Yang, this is indeed a business cooperation and does not involve any sensitive content. You should be relieved by this answer!"

Hearing Wang Donglai say this, Yang Anchao nodded and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. The aerospace system is inherently very sensitive, and the person you are going to meet is the person in charge, so for everyone's sake, I'm asking in advance, don't think too much."

Wang Donglai naturally understood this logic and had no objection.

"Okay, since this is a business cooperation, I won't ask any more questions. When we meet later, you can just chat!"

Yang Anchao nodded, without hesitation, and immediately took Wang Donglai to a place.

Soon, Yang Anchao brought Wang Dong to the place.

After registering, the two waited in a reception room.

"Donglai, this time I'm introducing you to Director Liu from the Zhongtian Rocket R&D Department. If you have any ideas later, you can talk to Director Liu."

While the people from Zhongtian Rocket had not arrived yet, Yang Anchao gave instructions to Wang Donglai.

"Chief Engineer Yang, I understand."

Wang Donglai nodded in agreement.

"Dongla, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Yang Anchao looked at Wang Donglai with a hint of hesitation on his face. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Chief Engineer Yang, just tell me what you have to say."

Wang Donglai looked at Yang Anchao strangely, wondering what he was going to say despite his hesitation.

Yang Anchao was waiting for Wang Donglai to say this.

"Donglai, I remember you are only 22 years old this year?!"

When asked about age, Wang Donglai suddenly had a guess and said, "Well, he is exactly 22 years old, which means he is 23 in age!"

"You are already twenty-three years old. Hearing you say that, I really don't know what to say."

"Before you, the youngest academician was Academician Luke, who was also elected as an academician at the age of 38."

"As a result, your appearance directly pushed the record forward by 16 years. I don't think it's likely that the next person will surpass you."

"From your tone just now, you seem to be a little dissatisfied. If this were to be told to others, I don't know how many people would be pissed off to death."

Yang Anchao was left speechless by Wang Donglai's disapproving tone and started complaining immediately.

"The chief engineer is right." Wang Donglai said with a smile.

Yang Anchao quickly regained his composure and continued, "You are so young, and you have been selected as an academician. Judging from your ambitions, it doesn't seem like you only want to develop in the field of mathematics. So why don't you develop in the field of aerospace?"

"Mathematics is your talent, and it can also be used in the field of aerospace. You can continue to study turbulence problems, or study aerodynamics. These are closely related to mathematics. With your ability, I think it won't take long for you to make great achievements in these fields."

"I know your research and development capabilities. Solid-state laser radar, rocket engine materials, and rocket engine detection models are all your achievements. They are achievements that others may not be able to produce even after several years."

"You have such a talent, you really shouldn't waste it."

"Although the semiconductor field is also important, Moore's Law is here. We can't catch up in a short period of time. I'm not pessimistic. From core components to equipment and materials, we don't have any advantages at all."

"At the same time, we are the world's largest smartphone consumer market. If we want to develop domestic products, the market will not accept them at all, which will also cause great trouble to localization."

"This doesn't even take into account the commercial tactics of Western companies. What if they lower the price once we develop the product?"

"What if there are restrictions and sanctions on core components, equipment and materials?"

"So, instead of spending time on this, it is better to come to the aerospace field."

"Although we are also lagging behind in this field, we have caught up. I can tell you the truth here that our country's aerospace technology will reach the world's advanced level in about ten years."

"Ten years. You are only thirty-two years old, still very young. With your ability, I can't imagine how much you will achieve in ten years."

"Didn't you say before that the future of mankind lies in the universe and the stars? Then you should develop in the aerospace field."

"With a genius like you joining us, I believe the development of aerospace technology will definitely be greatly improved."

"People have limited time and energy in their lifetime. Even if you are a genius, you still have to prioritize. With your mathematical achievements, even if you never study mathematics again, your name will still be in the mathematics books."

"Every word I said is from the bottom of my heart. I really think it's a pity that you don't develop in the aerospace field with your talent."

"These words are somewhat inappropriate considering my status, but I am sincere. I am not slandering or looking down on the semiconductor industry. I just don't want the aerospace industry to miss out on a genius like you."

Yang Anchao said a lot in one breath, and his tone was extremely serious.

Wang Donglai could also hear the seriousness and honesty in Yang Anchao's words, so he smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Yang, you really scared me before. I thought you asked me my age because you wanted to introduce me to someone."

After making a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, Wang Donglai's tone became slightly more serious, and he said, "Chief Engineer Yang, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me."

"I haven't given up the idea of ​​developing in the aerospace field. I also value the development and breakthrough of aerospace technology, but I also have my own ideas, so I can't give up research in other fields."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Yang Anchao's face.

However, at this moment, as Wang Donglai said the next sentence, Yang Anchao immediately raised his head, his eyes shining. (End of this chapter)
