I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Class B base.

The ARJ21 modified by the base landed on the runway. This business jet is now used as a cargo plane. It contains the samples returned by the Storm and some souvenirs.

The Storm still landed at the northern airport used to decontaminate him. The seven astronauts were waiting in the capital to welcome their glory. The two Arbor astronauts were eagerly taken back to China by the Arbor Space Agency. .

The Tianmu-2 mission officially ended yesterday when the Storm landed, and the next Tianmu-3 mission will have to wait almost four months.

Next, the Storm will work together with the other two space shuttles to fully carry out the construction of the Advance space station.

Among the team helping ARJ21 unload, there was a group of people wearing clothes that were obviously different from the others, with Xin'an's logo on them, and even the current boss Chen Jun was there.

Now dressed nonchalantly in a coverall, he was inspecting several metal boxes that had been unloaded from the luggage compartment.

The inscription on the box in front of him read: "Rising Period - Side B No. 5".

After the Tianmu-2 astronauts completed the landing mission, although the ascender was abandoned, two astronauts came out of the warehouse before that and removed the 17 spliced ​​alloy plates from the polyhedral outer surface of the ascender for packaging.

These are all materials from Xin'an Automobile's "XCX Lunar Commemorative Limited Edition", including the baffle removed from the lander, with a total mass of more than 200 kilograms. They will become part of 19 limited edition sports cars, with a unified price of 1999 Ten thousand yuan, it was sold out when the price was announced.

In addition, there will be some remaining materials that will be made into small souvenirs for car owners to smoke for free as one of the many marketing methods carried out around the moon.

XCX, which held a press conference on the moon, is not cheap. The guide price ranges from 790,000 to 1.29 million. It relied on its unique advantages to achieve astonishing first-day sales and successfully established brand value.

2017 is not yet an era when the rise of domestically produced cars has begun to force joint venture brands to give up the mid-range and seize the high-end. It is not easy to successfully gain a foothold in the field of high-end models by relying on this.

Chen Jun personally supervised each lander component being loaded and fixed before running to the office area of ​​the base and finding Ye Changsi, the current top manager.

"Mr. Ye, look at this."

Ye Changsi picked up the gray-black chip that Chen Jun put on the table, looked at it in his hand and asked:

"Wafer? It looks like it's been cut. It's from Huanghe Semiconductor?"

"No." Chen Jun shook his head:

“It’s Huawei, they design it and Huaxin International manufactures it.

This is a 90nm silicon carbide chip that uses a ternary circuit. It is not a binary simulation. It is a native ternary system. It is used to manufacture high-power smart IGBTs. It can also be used to manage the charge and discharge of the battery pack and reduce the cost of the electronic control system. And reduce response time and improve reliability. "

"oh?"

Ye Changsi suddenly became interested. He knew that domestic semiconductors were struggling with ternary technology, but he did not expect that it had reached the point where it could produce finished products.

Although Huanghe Semiconductor has brought a lot of ternary technology, it has not provided silicon carbide chips. It is not easy for China to get to this point quickly.

"This is a good thing. How long has it been? More than a year, tsk tsk, but there is still no shortage of capable people."

However, Chen Jun's face fell:

“The general environment is a good thing, but it is not good for us.

They also plan to build cars, and their ambitions are very big. They plan to complete the intelligent driving and motor electronic control parts, and find OEMs for the car body. In the end, they will become the Qualcomm of the automobile industry, using these three major components to dominate the future automobile market.

And to prevent us from starting to do it secretly, if we let them develop for a while, they will catch up with Xin'an. "

Ye Changsi: "That's your business. You can decide Xin'an's operating strategy yourself."

Chen Jun: "Mr. Ye, we hand over so much profit to the base every year to support aerospace, we can't just be independent at this time."

"..."

Ye Changsi: "Tell me, what do you like again?"

"Battery cores, we need independent high-performance battery core technology. We have Huanghe Semiconductor to help us with electronic control, but this doesn't work. There are also materials. Does the base have a new type of rocket body material?"

"Material, are you talking about the new T4 aluminum-lithium alloy?"

"Yes, that's it."

Although the base focuses on future nuclear-powered aircraft, traditional technology does not stand still, and so many R\u0026D engineers are not in vain.

T4 alloy is one of them. After adjusting some rare metal addition proportions and manufacturing processes, the mass is reduced by 25% compared to the previously used rocket body materials, but the strength is increased by 150%. Overall, the mass of the rocket shell can be reduced by about 35%, and the cost dropped by 15%.

This is not a sensitive technology. Ye Changsi can give it if he thinks it’s no problem:

"T4 is fine, but is it necessary for a car to use such a strong alloy? Its price is not low for a car."

Chen Jun: "We are currently mainly selling mid-range and above models. Cost control is a minor issue. This material is safer.

We did our own calculations and found that if we use this material to make the body frame, it is almost equivalent to installing a racing roll cage. We are about to create the strongest and safest car on the market. "

Ye Changsi: "I'll give you the battery technology of 220wh/kg. That's what we plan to use on the robots that work in high-risk environments in the lunar mines. The capacity is already better than what's on the market.

But the main thing is safety, especially safety, being able to face almost all harsh environments imaginable, I'm afraid you need this more. "

…

On the 27th, the fifth bidding meeting of United Mining ended.

This time it only lasted half a day. After arguing for several days, everyone finally reached some consensus, but in fact it was not mainly because of technical problems, but because the exchange of interests behind the scenes was negotiated.

The five major players have not played mushroom bombs for a long time, and each has some new ideas to experiment with.

Everyone is eager to try all types and their respective yields, especially large-yield hydrogen bombs. In lunar blasting, it is said that it starts with 10 million tons, but on earth this can be said to be the upper limit of testing, and in In space, it can be used without restraint.

After the first few talks, we found that we couldn't reach an agreement, so we simply went in another direction: everyone was satisfied.

The usage quantities determined at the fifth meeting are:

1.5 million-yield test explosive bomb (provided by Dai Ying);

5 1.5 million ton equivalents (one each);

16 pellets with an equivalent of 10 million tons (according to Huameilu Yingfa 3:5:4:2:2)

4 15 million tons equivalent (provided by China National Nuclear Corporation to clean up the inventory of second-generation warheads);

7 50 million tons equivalent (2:2:1:1:1);

5 pellets with an equivalent of 200 million tons (one pellet each);

The total ratio of Huamei Lu Yin Hair is: 11:9:7:6:5.

A total of 38 hydrogen bombs were used, with a total yield of 1.5925 billion tons. According to public statistics from international organizations last year, the total yield of all human nuclear weapons was about 15 billion tons. This time, almost 10% of them will be used to help United Mining carry out mining operations. field development.

One billion tons of it is all thanks to Lucia's insistence on testing a super-large-yield hydrogen bomb and putting forward the idea of ​​a 200-million-ton hydrogen bomb in one step.

The success of this persistence made everyone very interested in the power of hydrogen bombs with a yield of over 100 million tons. Finally, Aramco suggested that they simply decide to try the limits of fusion bombs one by one.

However, the 200-million-ton super hydrogen bomb is currently in an uncertain state and needs to be decided according to the situation after further discussion. The tentative one is 592.5 million tons, but this is enough.

After all, the combined yield of mankind's more than 2,000 nuclear tests is less than one-third of this number, and it is already shocking enough if it is announced.

Wu Yi and others, who theoretically have the power to make decisions, are completely speechless, and United Mining can only accept this.

With so many hydrogen bombs, the 16 10-megaton bombs are actually enough. The rest are for other people to satisfy their curiosity about the use of hydrogen bombs in space. United Mining can only silently shoulder this big blame.

But no matter what, at least now you don’t have to worry about the mining problem.
