I asked you to write about bugs, and you wrote about the three-body problem on the spot?

【Fueling is in progress. Those who are going to the space station this time are asked to register as soon as possible.】

【Fueling is in progress. Personnel going to the space station this time are asked to register as soon as possible]

Following the announcement from the aircraft loudspeaker,

Zhang Beihai boarded the"High Frontier" aerospace plane.

This is his first trip to space.

The aerospace plane took off and entered the first stage of flight.

Zhang Beihai looked at the ground going away outside the window, and said in his heart:"Dad, I have taken the first step."

At this time, a person next to him greeted him:

"It’s no different than flying on a commercial airline, right? But it got uncomfortable after a while. Zhang

Beihai turned around and immediately recognized the person who spoke:

"Are you Dr. Ding Yi? Ah, I’ve heard about the famous name for a long time!"

"What are you doing on the space station this time? You have just been appointed project leader for controlled nuclear fusion."

Ding Yi, restrained by the seat belt, raised a finger and pointed at Zhang Beihai:

"Can those who study controllable nuclear fusion not go into space? How can you agree with those people?"

"Our ultimate research goal is a spacecraft engine!"

"It's just that a large proportion of those who hold real power in the aerospace industry are those who used to develop chemical rocket engines."

"According to them, we don't have much say in the overall planning of the space fleet."

Zhang Beihai leaned over and said:

"Dr. Ding, I agree with you on this point."

"The space navigation of the space fleet is not the same concept as the current chemical rocket spaceflight at all!"

At this time, Ding Yi said excitedly:

"You might not believe it if you tell me."

"In fact, the key technology of the engine required for interstellar navigation - controllable nuclear fusion, has already achieved a breakthrough."

Zhang Beihai was surprised:

"So fast?"

Ding Yi nodded:

"It’s just that we haven’t announced it to the outside world yet."

"Once nuclear fusion breaks through, research on spacecraft will begin immediately"

"This research currently has two major directions——"

"Working medium propelled spacecraft, and working medium radiation driven spacecraft"

"Around these two research directions, two opposing factions have formed.——"

"Aerospace Systems: Advocates the study of working fluid propulsion spacecraft"

"Nuclear fusion system: advocates radiation drive"

"But the real right to speak, as I said just now, still lies with the aerospace system."

(Working fluid propulsion spacecraft: 08 is similar to a chemical rocket, [cannot carry out interstellar voyages].)

(Radiation-driven spacecraft: [may carry out interstellar voyages].)

(When Zhang Beihai chose a high-level research laboratory, he once suggested: It should (Beyond the working medium type and directly develop working medium-free fusion engines)

After listening to Ding Yi’s words,

Zhang Beihai fell silent.

It was hard to see what he was thinking.

At this time,

Ding Yi continued:

"In fact, the interior of the aerospace system is not monolithic."

"Those who advocate working medium spaceships are those old aerospace experts who came from the chemical rocket era."

"Forces from other disciplines are also entering the aerospace community, and most of them advocate radiation spacecraft."

"Now the two forces are evenly matched"

"The ones who break the balance are those three or four people in key positions."

"The opinions of those three or four people determine the final planning plan."

"What a pity, those three or four people are all veterans of aerospace industry!"

After Zhang Beihai listened, he nodded.

："Wow, Ding Yi, I can actually see Ding Yi here"

："Ding Yi is really awesome, he is actually the person in charge of nuclear fusion research, but they also succeeded in making a breakthrough"

："Are those old aerospace companies a bit annoying?!"

："Those old aerospace companies support the use of working fluids to propel spacecraft, but this kind of propelling spacecraft cannot carry out interstellar voyages at all."

："The high-level research route chosen by Zhang Beihai is impossible to succeed, and a real spaceship cannot be built!"

："Hey, I always feel that those old aerospace companies are a bit of a drag on the progress of human development."

："Yeah yeah!"

："What's the point of spending resources and time researching a spacecraft that can't travel to the stars?!"

："Maybe those old aerospace experts want insurance. After all, working fluid-driven research is much faster than radiation-driven research."

："Insurance, can insurance be useful? Even if the refrigerant propulsion is successful, it will not be able to carry out interstellar voyages. Can it still be regarded as a real spaceship? Can it have the ability to fight the Trisolaran fleet?"

："If you want to fight the Trisolaran fleet face to face, you must still develop a radiation propulsion spacecraft!"

："It would be great if all those old aerospace experts died in an accident."

："Ha, are you kidding me? How is this possible!"

After finishing this space trip and returning to the ground,

Zhang Beihai came to a meteorite collection store.

When the owner of the collection store saw Zhang Beihai, he greeted him:

"Please take a look inside"

"The world is not peaceful recently. I didn’t expect anyone to be interested in meteorites."

"You watch first while I go get you some tea."

While the boss was pouring tea, Zhang Beihai looked around.

It's like a small geological museum. There are glass cabinets on the four walls, and there are stones inside.

…

"Are you a soldier?"

The boss asked Zhang Beihai while serving tea.

Zhang Beihai nodded:

"This is the first time we have met. You have such good eyesight."

Meteorite shop owner:

"Today's soldiers don't look like soldiers anymore, but you, I can tell at a glance.

Zhang Beihai:"You were also a soldier."

Meteorite shop owner:"I have good eyesight. I have served in the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the General Staff for most of my life."

Zhang Beihai:"Why are you here to sell meteorites?""

Meteorite shop owner:"More than ten years ago, our expedition team crossed the Antarctic continent and looked for meteorites under the snow."

"Since then, I've been obsessed with this thing"

"They come from outside the world. Each meteorite is a new world. Zhang

Beihai smiled and shook his head:

"It's just your feeling"

"The earth is made of interstellar matter, and the matter in our human body is also made of"

"The same goes for the water in this cup"

"So the things you sell are not rare."

The owner of the meteorite shop said with a smile:

"Smart, I've already started bargaining"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Zhang Beihai:

"It doesn’t need to be expensive, but it should be heavier, not easily broken, and easy to process."

The owner of the meteorite shop nodded:

"Got it, you want to carve it, right?

Zhang Beihai:"That's right. It's best to use a lathe.""

Meteorite shop owner:"That's an iron meteorite."

As he said that, the owner of the meteorite shop took out a piece:

"This is that it has a large specific gravity and strong metal properties, so it can be processed with a lathe."

Zhang Beihai picked it up and looked at it:

"Very good, just a little small."

The owner of the meteorite shop took out another meteorite the size of an apple:

"this?

Zhang Beihai:"Is there any bigger one?""

Meteorite shop owner:"This thing is not measured by weight. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is.

Zhang Beihai:"I want three yuan for such a big one. Do you have it?" Meteorite shop owner:"

Yes, yes.""

Then he took out a few iron meteorites, three of the same size.

"What do you think of these pieces?"

Zhang Beihai nodded:

"Make an offer."

Meteorite shop owner:

"Let's do this, 60,000 yuan each, three yuan for a total of 180,000 yuan, how about that?"

Zhang Beihai nodded:

"Give me an account number and I'll pay now."

The owner of the meteorite shop scratched his head in embarrassment:

"At this price, I am actually preparing you to make a counter-offer.

Zhang Beihai:"No, I accept it."

Meteorite shop owner:"I'm so sorry. Now that space navigation has become civilian, the price of this thing has dropped. After all, these are just worth it."......"

Zhang Beihai interrupted him firmly:

"No, just this price!"

"Let’s just say I respect the person I’m sending it to."

The audience was a little confused

："Um? Why did Zhang Beihai buy meteorites?"

："He is a member of the Space Force. He will have many opportunities to go to space in the future. Do he still need to buy meteorites?"

："It’s a gift. Didn’t I say the last sentence? You don’t even return the offer, which shows respect for the person you want to give it to."

："Could it be given to those three or four old aerospace experts? Want to please them and make them change their minds?"[]

："Your idea is ridiculous! Those veteran aerospace experts have more chances to go to space and don’t need meteorite gifts at all."

："Besides, a few meteorites can make Lao Aerospace change his mind from advocating working fluid propulsion to advocating radiation propulsion? is it possible?! Obviously impossible!"

："The meteorite Zhang Beihai bought seems to be ready for engraving......Was he planning to carve it into something?"

After coming out of the collection store,

Zhang Beihai took the meteorites to a model-making workshop.

This workshop, located in a research institute affiliated to the Space Force, was already off work and there was no one around.

He first carefully operated and put the three pieces of iron into the model-making workshop. The meteorite was cut into thirty-six cylindrical meteorites.

Then he took out thirty-six rounds of 7.62 mm caliber pistol bullets and used pliers to remove the bullet warheads, leaving only the propellant part behind.

Then, he used a special Adhesive, stick a meteorite segment on each propellant.

In this way, thirty-six meteorite bullets were made.

After doing all this,

Zhang Beihai pressed four meteorite bullets into the magazine and pointed it at a Bu Bao fired.

Then he opened the cloth bag, took out a large piece of raw beef wrapped inside, and used a knife to carefully take out the meteorite that had shot into the beef. He saw that the four meteorite cylinders had been broken and became in his palm. A small pile of gravel with no traces of processing......

This made him very satisfied!

The audience was even more confused

："ah? Didn’t you buy the iron meteorite just for carving?"

："Processed into meteorite bullets, why?"

："Spend 180,000 yuan just to get thirty-six meteorite bullets?"

："What is Zhang Beihai doing?"

："Who is Zhang Beihai giving these meteorite bullets to? Why can't I figure it out?"

："I can’t figure it out either! Just keep reading and read the content behind Qin Feng."

In the [Base 1] independent space station, which is eighty kilometers away from the [Yellow River Space Station].

Zhang Beihai is here.

He has been living and working here for three months.

During these three months, he has been waiting for an opportunity , now an opportunity has arisen - the aerospace system held a high-level working meeting at [Yellow River Station], in which the three senior aerospace experts who influenced the final spacecraft propulsion method planning plan were all participants.

Zhang Beihai placed the positioning unit on the space suit He stayed in his own cabin in the base.

In this way, the monitoring system of Base No. 1 would not know that he had left the base, and his outing would not leave any record.

Then, he used the small jet thruster on his space suit to , flew eighty kilometers in space.

He arrived at a location five kilometers away from the [Yellow River Space Station].

This location was the location he had already chosen.

He waited quietly.

Zhang Beihai knew that now that the meeting was over, he Waiting for all the attendees to come out and take photos.

This is a common practice, and all attendees have to go to space to take photos.

Moreover, photos are basically taken at the moment when the sun rises or sets from the edge of the earth.

The audience is confused.

："Um? Sure enough, we still want to find those three old aerospace people?"

："Does Zhang Beihai still plan to talk to the three veteran aerospace experts to make them change their minds?"

："Oh, those more than thirty meteorite bullets are intended to be given to Lao Aerospace, right?"

："Meteorite bullets are carefully polished and manufactured, which are more valuable for collection and commemoration."

："This should be the case with 810"

："But I feel like there is little hope? How could Lao Aerospace change his mind so easily?"

："Then let’s look at Zhang Beihai’s eloquence and how he persuades three veteran aerospace experts."

："According to development, radiation propulsion will definitely be studied in the end."

："Could it be that Zhang Beihai's firm belief in victory impressed several old aerospace experts, and then the old aerospace experts agreed to support the research on radiation propulsion?"

："Well, this is too cliché. Qin Feng shouldn't write like this, right?"

："Maybe Zhang Beihai has a better way to convince Lao Aerospace!"

While waiting,

Zhang Beihai felt that the surrounding space was very empty.

He was floating in this vast void, and felt that he had cut off the connection with the blue world below.

He felt like he was in the universe. An independent existence.

It is not attached to any world. There is no earth under its feet and only space around it.

It does not come from anywhere and does not want to go anywhere. It just exists.

He thought: His father's spirit in heaven may also feel this way.

At this time!

The sun! Starting to touch the edge of the earth.

Zhang Beihai raised a hand, holding a scope in his spacesuit glove.

He used this thing as a telescope to observe an exit of the Yellow River Station.

The exit slid open.

A group of people wearing white spacesuits Figures filed out.

There were about thirty people, and they began to line up in a weightless environment under the command of the photographer.

Zhang Beihai enlarged the focus of the scope and quickly found three targets.

As he expected, due to the three At the human level, they were all in the front row.

The audience was even more confused.

Didn't Zhang Beihai want to talk to the old aerospace company? Why was he always observing from a distance?

Zhang Beihai took out the work bag from the side of the spacesuit. A pistol and two magazines.

Then, he installed the scope on the pistol.

The scope was originally for a rifle, but he modified it so that it could also be used on a pistol.

Then!

He started to aim, and the crosshairs of the scope were quickly set. He caught the first target.

Pulled the trigger!

The pistol fired in silence, but he felt the recoil.

He fired ten times at the first target!

He quickly replaced the magazine with a new one and fired again at the second target. Ten bullets were fired!

Change the magazine again and shoot the last ten bullets at the third target!

The muzzle of the gun flashed thirty times, like a firefly on a dark background in space.

Thirty meteorite warheads were flying Toward the target! It takes about ten seconds to fly this distance. Zhang Beihai held up the gun that he had fired and observed calmly through the scope. He was prepared to fail. If so, he would start looking for it as if nothing had happened. A second chance! Please give me monthly passes, evaluation votes, and flowers! Please, please, please, dear readers!
