Chapter 596: The most important decision since time travel (Part 1)
"Are the Germans using information gaps to find out?"
Hearing this word coming out of Xu Yun's mouth, the interest on Li Jue's face couldn't help but become more intense:
"Xiao Han, why do you say this?"
After hearing this, Xu Yun thought for a moment, looked up at Lao Guo, then at Li Jue, and said:
"Gong Guo, factory director, this matter is rather complicated to explain, so let's start from the beginning."
"First of all...Director, do you still remember the purpose of the supporting film for the Coke sample we sent to Mao Xiong this time?"
Li Jue picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, then put it down and said:
"Of course I remember that at that time, the base leaders discussed it several times over whether to do it or not, and they almost turned the table over in the end."
When Lao Guo heard the words, he also nodded slightly.
Students with good memories should all remember it.
When they were developing the ‘Zhu Xian Platform’ carrying airship, the Rabbits put a lot of effort into the skin material of the capsule.
Because the airship flies at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, it needs to withstand huge pressure, tension and friction.
Therefore, the capsule material of the airship must have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, high thermal conductivity and high toughness.
The basic materials are mainly polyester fiber and polyester, and the thermal conductivity is solved through the fluorine film aluminum layer.
Xu Yun briefly encountered difficulties with the braided load-bearing layer, but coincidentally, it was solved by the gas exchange membrane that the 504 factory failed to produce due to tampering with the bear.
As for the final and most special tough material, it is made from the apical secretion of local donkeys, which is donkey pulp film.
Due to the ballistic requirements of the waverider missile, this composite airship even reached a flight altitude of more than 40,000 meters and successfully completed the mission.
Another thing worth mentioning is that.
Forty thousand meters is still only the limit of gas lift, that is, the power is insufficient after reaching that height, not the critical point of capsule damage.
As for the actual load capacity limit of the capsule material... As of now, no one knows, not even Xu Yun himself.
Ever since.
After three U2s were shot down.
The Rabbits immediately included the two key aspects of the capsule material and the design of the waverider missile into the highest-level protection list.
Of course.
Although these two links are both on the top secret list, their protection methods are different.
The waverider missile is a document-type protection based on the design structure and related principles, which is the kind of thing that is put in a file bag with top-secret documents written on it.
From then on, people only heard of its name but no one saw it. Just like the configuration of the hydrogen bomb, I don’t admit its existence, but I don’t deny that it doesn’t exist.
In short, if you have the ability, just guess.
But the capsule material...
It is to protect the native donkeys.
After all, the composition of the capsule material is not complicated, and the most critical component is the apical secretion of local donkeys - and this thing is a unique donkey species in China.
Therefore, as long as the living local donkey does not leak seriously, let alone the ingredient list of the capsule material, even if one or two pounds of slurry secretion leaks out, there will be no problem.
As far as Xu Yun knows.
Now the capital is planning to build a high-density local donkey breeding base in Guizhou Province. It is expected that more than 10,000 local donkeys will be cultivated in the first phase after completion - the feed will come from the carcasses of adult black soldier flies.
After all, it will take about one to two years to complete the entire base, and by then the black soldier fly breeding technology should have been established.
at the same time.
Customs has also begun to strengthen the monitoring of live local donkeys leaving the country. In addition, people overseas have begun to quietly contact Chinese families who have local donkeys.
Although the number of the latter is not large, this situation does exist:
For example, the reason why Lin Yu originally thought of using donkey hair to make soup to save Xu Yun was because he had seen similar things when he was abroad.
At the same time as the capital is carrying out local donkey protection.
However, Lao Guo rarely put forward an idea at a regular meeting not long ago:
Since this capsule...or the main raw material of the donkey pulp film is in our hands, we are not afraid of making it public, let alone imitation by others.
So, can we use it as a "Cola Protective Item" and send a little bit of it to the furry bear along with Coca-Cola?
At that time, as long as it is pretended to be discarded waste, the furry bear will definitely collect it quietly.
True.
Regarding these 'waste products', Mao Xiong may just have the mentality of cleaning up the debris at the beginning, and will not invest too much energy in research.
But with just a casual inspection... let alone inspection, even just a few pulls with your hands, you can discover the special characteristics of this material.
By then, maybe Mao Xiong will be interested in this material and come up with some trading plans.
Because there are actually many similar examples in marketing.
Let’s not mention the distant one, let’s talk about the trade show hosted across the sea in Moscow three years ago.
In addition to the success of Coke at that trade show, a more famous kitchen debate was also born.
The content of this debate is not the point. The point is that the big man from Mao Xiong discovered a kitchen knife that was very useful during the debate, so he introduced it to Mao Xiong's country after the meeting.
That brand is the famous DEXTER kitchenware. This accident laid the foundation for the status of Western food knives in the future.
Later generations of DEXTER also merged with RUSSELL and became one of the most commonly used tool sets for fishing across the sea.
Therefore, if the donkey pulp film can also become the DEXTER at the Coke tasting party...it will be money if it can be sold for a penny.
Think of this.
Li Jue, who was sitting behind his desk, couldn't help but look at Xu Yun and said to him:
"Comrade Han Li, I remember that you were very supportive of Lao Guo's idea and even had a few arguments with Yaoping and the others, right?"
Xu Yun nodded:
"That's right."
After Lao Guo proposed this plan, the 221 base quickly followed standard procedures and voted on Lao Guo's plan.
Result voting process.
There are many leaders who do not agree with Lao Guo's ideas, including some experts and scholars or the absolute core of the base.
For example, Cheng Kaijia, Lu Guangda and Wang Lao, who were familiar to Xu Yun and Lao Guo, all clearly expressed their opposition.
They believe that low risk still means risk after all, and now that the base can exchange for a large amount of winter wheat through cola, there is no need to add any unnecessary extravagance.
After all, the furry bears are not stupid, and the things they change will definitely not be too good.
For example, no matter what they do, they will never be able to trade the core data of the atomic bomb, and they still have to rely on themselves for all research and development matters.
But what is different from Lu Guangda and others is that.
Qian Bingqiong and Qian Wushi, two elders named Qian, both expressed their support, and Sun Jun and Ye Duzheng also quickly voted in favor.
They believe that the risk is worth trying compared with the possible benefits.
What do you think of the situation at that time...
To use the scene from "Saint Seiya Lost" to describe it, Saga, Camus, Shura and Mu, Aiolia, and Milo use Athena's exclamation to fight against each other.
And just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zilong...that is, Xu Yun appeared, and he expressed his support for Lao Guo very firmly.
As far as Li Jue knows.
Xu Yun's statement not only affected the choice of base, it is said that the reason why the capital agreed to this plan was also largely due to Xu Yun's statement.
Memories come to this.
Xu Yun paused and continued to say to Li Jue:
"Director, do you still remember the reason why I supported Gong Guo at that time?"
Although Li Jue's professional theoretical reserve is almost zero, his memory is still very good. He immediately gave a reply after hearing this:
"Of course I remember that at that time you said that this donkey pulp film would have high use value in the aerospace field, such as space shuttle applications."
"At that time, you and Comrade Yaoping discussed the feasibility of the space shuttle, and finally summed it up in those words... Oh, I remembered, sinkhole, right?"
Xu Yun smiled and nodded.
That's right.
The reason he used to convince the base leaders at that time was that if this capsule was operated properly, it would have a miraculous effect in the aviation field.
For example...
space shuttle.
All students who are still alive in 2023 should know this.
At this time, Mao Xiong and Haidian Duan are in a state of fierce competition, and all aspects have to compete for priority.
Especially after the end of the hugely expensive "Apollo moon landing program", both sides have become almost obsessed with space exploration.
For example, the two sides launched a total of 17 Mars probes that year, including 11 Mao Xiong and 6 across the sea.
That's right.
Mars rover, not the moon.
Among them, only 5 Mao Xiongs were successfully launched, and only one Mars 3 partially landed successfully. Most of the others only completed flybys and orbits.
The success rate across the sea was not high. It was not until 1975 that Viking 1 and 2 landed successfully.
And except for the Mars probe.
Another competitive direction that has to be mentioned is naturally the space shuttle.
The space shuttles across the sea include Pathfinder, Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor.
As for the furry bears, there are the Buran, the space shuttle Birdie and the space shuttle Baikal.
At the same time, compared to the Mars rover, this thing is a truly bottomless sinkhole - at least that was the case with the original space shuttle concept.
The so-called space shuttle refers to a repeatable vehicle that travels to and from low-Earth orbit.
It can take off vertically like a launch vehicle and land at an airport after returning to the atmosphere like an airplane.
In fact, strictly speaking, the idea of the space shuttle is very good.
But the problem is that it has serious limitations of the times and is a staged and reasonable product. After this stage, it will be eliminated.
First of all, one of the reasons that led to the elimination of the space shuttle was its accident rate:
Take the other side of the sea as an example.
Until 2023.
A total of 22 astronauts across the sea died, including 14 from the space shuttle, which was a proper accident generator.
But what really caused the space shuttle to be gradually relegated to obscurity was its ‘setting’ problem.
The original purpose of the space shuttle was that the scientific community at that time believed that as the times progressed, there would be a large number of creative tasks in orbit that required the ingenuity of non-professional astronauts.
Therefore, in the mission of the space shuttle, transporting human brains...or human bodies takes far priority over transporting cargo.
At the same time, the peak overload of 3G during takeoff and landing is 1.5G, which perfectly achieves the goal of ordinary people going to work in space with a little training.
However, with the rapid development of computer technology, spacecraft functions gradually began to shift from hardware implementation to software implementation.
This change directly leads to a fundamental change in the control and maintenance model of the spacecraft. Human on-site operation is no longer the optimal solution, and the urgency of transporting people is greatly reduced.
A large amount of space scientific research and maintenance work that scientists expected have disappeared, and the "mission" of the space shuttle has become like a eunuch novel.
for example.
KH-9 Hexagon, the famous keyhole satellite.
Its LEO film has a carrying capacity of ten tons. When the film is used up, it becomes GG, and its lifespan is less than one year.
At that time, NASA planned to use the space shuttle to replace the film, but if you look at it from the perspective of later generations, you will find that this idea is meaningless...
Although later aerospace planes such as the X-37B and China Shenlong are technically advanced versions of the space shuttle, they have long been different concepts from the earliest space shuttle. At most, they are based on the principle of vertical launch and horizontal landing.
the same.
But on the other hand.
At the moment, Mao Xiong and Haopian Duan don't know this at all due to the limitations of their time. The two brothers are holding their breath and moaning and arguing.
Then here comes the problem.
What would they do if Mao Xiong discovered that this kind of film can withstand stronger tensile, bending and shearing forces than high-temperature tape in splicing core materials of space shuttles?
To know.
Core material splicing can be said to be a core difficulty of the space shuttle!
Once this problem is solved, there is no doubt that the furry bears will all join the space shuttle.
A sinkhole that requires huge investment every year, but actually has no impact on future generations. At the same time, it can also make people across the sea follow you up...
to be honest.
Xu Yun was almost losing his temper at that time.
Therefore, he rarely showed a strong image in meetings, and even discussed the shortcomings of the space shuttle with Mr. Wang, whom he respected very much in real life.
In the end, with his sharp tongue, the base finally approved Lao Guo's idea.
Seeing Xu Yun mentioning this matter again, Lao Guo was the first to react:
"Wait a minute, Xiao Han, do you mean..."
"The purpose of those Germans who want to buy donkey pulp film is also to develop space shuttles?"
"Well, that's not a big deal."
Xu Yun quickly shook his head after hearing this, took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Lao Guo, and explained:
"Gong Guo, you are also an expert in aerospace. You should know that one of the technical foundations of the space shuttle is that it can enter low-Earth orbit."
"Currently, only the two superpowers have this technology. As for Germany..."
"Unless those famous German wall hangings from World War II are revived, there is no possibility that Germany will have this technology."
Lao Guo has become accustomed to some of Xu Yun's weird oral habits these days, so he didn't ask in detail what hanging on the wall meant. Instead, he thought along Xu Yun's train of thought:
"...This is true. After Operation Paperclip, Germany no longer has many top talents."
"But if they don't build a space shuttle, what can they do...wait a minute!"
Suddenly.
Lao Guo seemed to have realized something and looked at Xu Yun in surprise:
"Xiao Han, do you mean..."
"Those Germans also want to use donkey pulp film to develop satellites?"
"Bingo!"
Xu Yun snapped his fingers briskly. Now two months later, his fingers have almost recovered:
"Gong Guo, if nothing else happens, that's what the Germans had in mind, so I said we should use information gaps to find out."
"Obviously the film is intended to be used in satellite research and development, but it is pretended to be urgently needed automotive materials - can the value of these two things be the same?"
"You can pay 5,000 US dollars per ton, just kidding, we won't even sell it for 50,000 US dollars!"
As he spoke, Xu Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
That's right.
In addition to space shuttles, another use of donkey pulp film is...
Key materials for artificial satellites.
Students who worked on artificial satellites in their previous lives should all know this.
In the structure of artificial satellites, there are two places where high-toughness films are needed.
One is an off-orbit sail.
The other is a thermal control film that performs vacuum deflation.
Among them, the word "deorbit sail" is as it sounds, which is a means of deorbiting the satellite after the satellite completes its mission.
It mainly uses the aerodynamic drag formed by the thin atmosphere of the low-orbit environment to slowly decelerate the satellite and eventually gradually leave the original orbit.
It is a technology that was designed very early and was implemented very late. It was probably designed at the beginning of the birth of satellites, but not many people cared about it before the emergence of space junk.
Even in 2023, when Xu Yun traveled through time, not all satellites would be equipped with this thing.
But thermal control films are different.
It is a substrate structure for satellites, which requires high film formation rate and dense film properties. It is an indispensable link in the satellite operation process.
For example, it must be able to withstand high-intensity cosmic ray impacts, and at the same time, it must have tough tensile strength to resist high deformation.
The combined importance of these two films is not to say the first, but at least it ranks among the top three in terms of difficulty in developing satellites.
At the same time.
As a country with 99 satellites and the seventh largest number of satellites in the world, Germany still had a high interest in aviation exploration after World War II.
However, due to the famous Operation Paperclip, Germany lost a large number of scientists, so that Germany's current research and development capabilities are far from comparable to those during World War II.
Xu Yun’s elective physics major in his life is condensed matter physics, so he knows one thing very well:
in the original history.
It was because Germany had been unable to break through the thermal control film that it had no choice but to give up independent research and development after three years and chose to cooperate with NASA.
In the end, at the humiliating cost of making all satellite data public and any results only being published in journals across the sea, Azur, the first artificial satellite in German history, was launched eight years later.
True.
In later generations, many people in China thought that West Germany at that time was the back garden across the sea, but the problem is that people didn't think so.
For example, Prof Mayer, who was in charge of the technology department responsible for the research and development of Azur at that time...who was equivalent to the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once wrote the words "This is a shame for the entire Federal Republic of Germany" in his memoirs.
In addition, after reaching a cooperation intention with Haidian, 20 researchers from the Space Research Society to which the Azur project belongs submitted their resignations at the same time.
After all, almost everyone has the emotion of national pride. Even across the sea in future generations, there will still be people shouting USA with passion.
As a result, some people in China just want to admire foreigners. If you have to think that Germans decades ago also liked to recognize their fathers, it is difficult to explain...
His eyes returned to reality.
Seeing that Xu Yun was so sure that Yin Les was lying, Lao Guo couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Han, I admit that donkey pulp film is indeed very useful on satellites, but how do you know that the German named Yin Les is lying?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "After all, auto parts do require special films for parts... For example, bearing connection, what he said may not be true, right?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun quickly shook his head and explained:
"Guo Gong, there seems to be no logical problem with your words, but do you know one thing?"
Lao Guo blinked:
"What's the matter? Did you find out that Xiao Qiao puts on a donkey hair mask on you every day while you're sleeping?"
Xu Yun:
"?!"
Wait, I think I heard something weird?
However, Li Jue on the side was always looking at him curiously, so Xu Yun had no choice but to bring his attention back to reality:
"Gong Guo, I'm afraid you don't know much about it. Daimler-Benz just acquired a considerable stake in Audi three years ago... It is said to be more than 80%. Last year, it acquired Maybach."
"So now Daimler-Benz's research and development line is still in the iteration period. How could they possibly cooperate with German officials to design a model?"
"This is obviously a lie that Yin Les told without any other good reason. After all, under the temptation of that kind of price, we probably won't confirm the authenticity of this kind of news - our resources in Europe are limited.
, there is a cost to obtain information.”
"Moreover, news involving automobile companies has more industry barriers than political content, and ordinary intelligence personnel may not be able to understand it."
Lao Guo was suddenly startled and asked subconsciously:
"Xiao Han, how did you know about this?"
Xu Yun was already prepared for this, and he waved his hands towards Lao Guo very calmly:
"Just read it in the newspaper. This matter is still a big news in Europe. It involves so many car companies."
"In addition, I also have many friends at Cambridge University who like to install broadsword mines and other things on Mercedes-Benz cars. I started to understand them as we chatted."
Lao Guo was heartbroken.
Yes, this person is a moderately mature person who came back from the West.
Xu Yun's explanation was quite clear, so it was rare for Li Jue to follow Xu Yun's thinking:
"Xiao Han, what do you think we should do next?"
"Next..."
Xu Yun thought for a while and blurted out subconsciously:
"Of course I am doing this with Germany..."
As a result, as he was talking, Xu Yun's childish eyes suddenly shrank without any warning:
"Wait, Germany??? What the hell?!?!"
The volume of Xu Yun's "fuck" words was so loud that the glass in Li Jue's office faintly shook.
Without any precautions.
Li Jue and Lao Guo even covered their ears at the same time and looked at Xu Yun blankly.
What's going on?
How come someone who was fine before was suddenly transferred to A4?
And under the gaze of the two of them.
Xu Yun's expression was quite subtle, and he even wanted to slap himself twice.
Germany....
Germany?
Germany?!
As the word "Germany" was repeated in his mind over and over again, Xu Yun's heart rate became faster every second.
Maybe it's because too many brain cells have been consumed recently.
It was only at this moment that Xu Yun discovered...
The protagonist of their discussion today is surprisingly the one they didn't know how to solve before...
Germany!
In other words.
Now, with the emergence of the intention to trade donkey pulp film, the last piece of the puzzle of Xu Yun's previous ultimate chain has quietly fallen into place.
After realizing this.
Xu Yun's expression suddenly became serious.
after all......
He knew very well that what he said next would sound shocking and even a little rebellious to people of this era.
Not an exaggeration.
These words are likely to turn him from a distinguished special consultant at the base to a prisoner under strict guard in an instant!
What awaits Xu Yun will be extremely strict scrutiny, which may even endanger his personal safety.
but.......
If that idea can really be realized, the benefits it will bring to the Chinese nation will be endless.
Think of this.
Xu Yun quickly went through what he did at the base in his mind:
damper,
weather doppler radar,
waverider missile,
industrial software,
Computer Industry,
chaotic system,
neutron transport equation,
Male sterile strains and cola were discovered in advance,
Oh, and there are native donkeys.
Not an exaggeration.
With these foundations laid by Xu Yun.
Even if he is locked in a cage and accomplishes nothing until the end of the mission, rabbits in this era should be able to live a very good life.
In this case...
The next thing can be done!
After a few seconds.
Xu Yun took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Li Jue:
"Director, do you... dare to play a big game?"
........
Note:
I haven't asked for votes in a few days. Please give me some monthly votes. I will resume updating today. You should be able to see the number of words. I will continue tomorrow.
