December fifteenth.
Wang Donglai had already left the capital and took a plane straight to Hangzhou.
Because the Second World Internet Conference will be held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, as the founder of Galaxy Technology, which is currently in the limelight in China, Wang Donglai was naturally invited.
This Internet Conference has a very high standard, with more than 2,000 guests attending, 50% Chinese and foreign guests, including eight leaders from abroad, more than 50 foreign ministerial leaders, and There are heads of more than 20 international organizations, as well as more than 600 Internet business leaders, Internet celebrities, experts and scholars, covering various fields of cyberspace.
The conference starts on the 16th and lasts until the 18th.
On the plane.
Wang Donglai was looking through the information on rocket engines.
As the heart of the rocket, the rocket engine is different from aircraft engines and car engines. It is an engine that can work in a vacuum, unlike aircraft engines that can only work in the atmosphere. The engine is even more different from a car engine that can only rely on the transmission system to drive the wheels to rotate.
The rocket engine relies on ejecting gas at high speed relative to the movement of the rocket to generate reaction force to propel the rocket. The focus of the entire engine is how to push a huge amount of fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber efficiently and stably.
Because the fuel will not run into the engine by itself, a powerful system is needed to press the fuel and oxidizer from the giant storage tank into the engine.
Currently, there are two ways of forcing fuel and oxidizer into the engine.
One is the extrusion type, which uses compressed gas in a high-pressure cylinder, usually helium, to press the fuel into the engine. This method is usually simpler and more convenient to manufacture, but The efficiency is low and it is mainly used on small rockets. Large rockets using this method appear to be somewhat underpowered.
The second method is the pump pressure type, which uses a turbopump to supercharge the fuel and oxidizer. This method is relatively complex but more efficient. Currently, this method is used in the core stage main engines of mainstream rockets. way.
There is another difficulty with this method, that is, it requires a force to push the turbopump. If it is driven by a motor, the performance is too low. After excluding the motor drive, there is only one option left, which is to use a rocket engine. combustion cycle.
Not to mention the high technical content of rocket engines, there are more than a dozen different combustion methods of rocket engines alone.
Two typical ones are the gas generating chamber cycle and the staged combustion cycle.
These things are just the most basic knowledge about rocket engines, not even popular science.
Although Wang Donglai possesses the [Memory Palace], after all, the time to acquire this skill was too short.
In addition, he cannot stay in the library to read papers and literature all the time, so his knowledge in some fields is still lacking.
The rocket engine is where Wang Donglai is weak.
Through previous conversations with Deng Gang, Wang Donglai relied on his knowledge and ability to make Deng Gang recognize him.
So, Deng Gang also recommended a lot of information specifically for Wang Donglai.
To be honest, Deng Gang also wanted to see how talented Wang Donglai was and whether he could develop a rocket engine.
While Wang Donglai was reading these documents, a familiar voice suddenly came.
“Academician Wang!”
Wang Donglai heard the sound and looked up. The person coming was none other than Rebus.
"Mr. Lei, what a coincidence!" Wang Donglai said with a smile.
Rebus smiled and nodded, and asked aloud: "Academician Wang, do you mind if I sit next to you?"
"Please do it, as long as Mr. Lei doesn't dislike the economy class That’s fine!”
Wang Donglai smiled and waved, not minding at all.
Rebus did not hesitate and immediately sat on the seat next to Wang Donglai.
“Actually, the most seats I have taken over the years have been economy class, not first class!”
After sitting down, Rebus explained aloud.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Rebus said, Wang Donglai said aloud: "If you are an ordinary person, traveling in economy class, I will think it is frugal, but a boss with a wealth like Mr. Lei, traveling in economy class is also frugal. Economy class, I don’t think this is frugal and should be abandoned!”
“Oh, why?” Rebus asked curiously.
"The reason is very simple. A big boss like Mr. Lei should take the lead in consumption."
With just one sentence, Rebus's expression became serious in an instant, and then returned to calm.
“You were the one who said I didn’t dislike economy class, but it turned out you were the one who said I shouldn’t fly economy class. Academician Wang, this is a bit contradictory!”
Rebus had a look on his face. Laughing, he retorted lightly.
Wang Donglai smiled and did not continue the topic just now.
Some things just need to be said once, but saying too much will offend others.
"Mr. Lei, how are you preparing for the new machine?"
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Wang Donglai naturally would not give Rebus any face, so he asked about Xiaomi New machine.
The new phone has not been released yet, and information about it needs to be kept strictly confidential.
However, Rebus was not included in the list of persons who needed to be kept secret. Therefore, when Wang Donglai asked, the smile on Rebus's face became even stronger.
"The new phone is almost ready. This time, thanks to Academician Wang's technology patents and products, I am confident that next year will be the beginning of the turnaround of domestic mobile phones!"
Rebus said these words At that time, I was extremely confident and full of confidence.
No wonder Rebus has such confidence.
The performance of semi-solid batteries is really excellent. In Xiaomi’s internal mobile phone evaluation, the same size battery was replaced with a semi-solid battery developed by Galaxy Technology, and the battery life was nearly doubled. , this is still the high energy consumption mode turned on.
If the low energy consumption mode is adopted, the battery life of the mobile phone can reach one month. Under normal use, it can also support users to use it for two days without worrying about battery problems.
At the same time, Xiaomi has received technical support from Galaxy Technology, which includes not only semi-solid batteries but also built-in beauty algorithms. In addition, Galaxy Technology has specially customized and developed Xiao Ai based on Xiaomi’s needs.
Xiao Ai is Xiaomi’s artificial intelligence mobile assistant that is ready to be installed on all Xiaomi mobile phones.
It was precisely because of this cooperation that Rebus and Xiaomi's technical team were completely convinced of Galaxy Technology and Wang Donglai.
Completely based on their needs, Xiaoai classmates can be developed in just one month.
More importantly, this classmate Xiao Ai is not a mentally retarded machine.
Although it is not as good as the artificial intelligence of Galaxy Technology, when faced with some simple problems, there is no problem at all. At the same time, through this intelligent assistant, Xiaomi's mobile phone system is sorted out, making the mobile phone perform even better. .
Hearing the confidence in Rebus's words, Wang Donglai also laughed.
His hard work was not in vain, and he finally helped domestic mobile phones rise earlier.
Thinking about this, Wang Donglai said: "Mr. Lei, I would like to give you a small suggestion personally. The new machine can improve your performance."
Lei Bu When Si heard what Wang Donglai said, he immediately thought about the reason.
It is unlikely that Wang Donglai would just talk nonsense. There must be a reason for saying so.
However, Rebus thought a lot, but could not think of a reasonable reason.
"Academician Wang, do you have any explanation for this?"
Rebus asked sincerely.
Wang Donglai laughed and said: "Mr. Lei, don't think so much. I just say this because I want to see Xiaomi's new phone as soon as possible."
Rebus glanced at Wang Donglai suspiciously and did not believe what Wang Donglai said. The reason is simple. The mobile phone Wang Donglai used did not belong to Xiaomi.
Of course, it’s not Apple either.
"Okay, then I will listen to Academician Wang and advance the press conference. When the time comes, the new machine will be given to Academician Wang first."
Rebus is also a decisive person, I didn't understand the reason, but I made the decision in a very short time.
Just follow Wang Donglai’s suggestion and advance the release date of Xiaomi 5S.
“Mr. Lei has courage!”
Wang Donglai gave Rebus a thumbs up and said in admiration.
After finishing speaking, he returned his gaze to the document in his hand.
Rebus also followed Wang Donglai's gaze and noticed the document in his hand. After looking at it for a while, Rebus said with some uncertainty: "Is this rocket engine information?"
"Well, it feels quite interesting!" Wang Donglai replied casually.
"Academician Wang, is it true that there are reports in the industry that Galaxy Technology is preparing to launch private rockets?"
Rebus had heard the news a long time ago, but did not believe it was true. of.
Private rocket launches in China are outrageous.
Rebus simply didn’t believe this could be true.
However, seeing Wang Donglai looking at information about rocket engines and admitting it himself, Rebus couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lei to know about it!”
Wang Donglai said slightly surprised.
But he doesn’t know that every move of Galaxy Technology has been watched by countless people.
In fact, the establishment of a private rocket branch, a drug research and development laboratory, and the acquisition of pharmaceutical factories have already been spread.
But no one knows why Wang Donglai did this.
In addition, there were many people who wanted Wang Donglai to throw money around and distract his attention, so everyone just paid attention and no one asked.
Rebus hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: "Academician Wang, we are not a bald eagle here. The profit prospects of private rocket launch companies are unclear, and it is not a good business field!"
“Moreover, the technical content of this field It is high, risky, requires large investments, and has more restrictions. From a business perspective, it is not suitable for starting a business.”
“Academician Wang, if you are interested, you can definitely conduct scientific research on rocket engines. You don’t have to actually open a company.”
After hearing Rebus's persuasion, Wang Donglai smiled and said immediately: "Mr. Lei, remember what I just said about the rich taking the lead in consumption."
"It is said in Capital that when business When it develops to a certain level, there will be a monopoly of wealth. A super rich man will control unimaginable wealth, while most people can only fall into poverty."
"Users who need to consume have no money. , and can be consumed The only users are the super rich. No matter how much he wastes, it will only be insignificant to the overall consumption."
"I think Mr. Lei is also very worried about what will happen if this continues. Clearly. ”
“So, after the rich are free from wealth, they should spend as much as they want. Since they are investing their money back in the market, it is better to use it to engage in research in advanced fields.”
"Mr. Lei, are you interested in making an investment?"
Wang Donglai actively invited Rebus.
Rebus is a strong man who has earned enough credits for college graduation in two years, and his IQ is naturally online.
Not only did he hear the hidden meaning of Wang Donglai's words, but he also made a decision in a matter of seconds.
“What Academician Wang said makes sense. Wealth comes from the people and is used for the people. It is meaningful only when it is circulated.”
"One word woke me up from my dream. This Internet conference has not even started yet, and I have gained so much. It is really a worthwhile trip!"
Rebus did not directly answer whether Wang Donglai wanted to Investment, but praised Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai didn't take Rebus' praise to heart.
Judging from Rebus’s subsequent behavior, he is indeed different from several other Internet tycoons.
Donating 1.3 billion to Wuhan University is definitely a generous donation.
Compared with some wealthy people in China who do not donate to domestic universities but go to Harvard and other international universities to donate, Rebus is a breath of fresh air.
“It’s good that Mr. Lei has gained something!”
Wang Donglai said lightly.
"Academician Wang, I heard that you and Academician Wang Yifang from the Institute of High Energy Physics had a dispute over the collider. As far as I know, some media seem to be ready to stir up trouble."
Leib Si also knew that what he did was not kind enough, so he quickly told a relatively secret message.
However, it was beyond Rebus' expectations.
Wang Donglai did not have any major fluctuations in his expression because of this news.
“Right and wrong all depend on the human heart!”
“Besides, I act upright and sit upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of!”
Wang Donglai Act very open-minded and not worried about the situation.
For some people, building a large collider has both advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, they are eager to build it as soon as possible.
Whoever blocks it is an enemy, and we can’t wait to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
And there are still some people, out of various motives, who are eager to start the construction of the large collider project. This will squeeze the scientific research funds in other fields in China, causing scientific research to stagnate and hinder research.
So, when these two people come together, they can naturally make some waves.
However, Wang Donglai is not worried.
In the previous life, there was no large collider construction project, and it will be even less likely in this life.
Since there will be no construction, it proves that these storms are not serious.
Rebus didn't know this, and when he saw Wang Donglai not caring at all, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
Judging from their current status, Wang Donglai is a nationally recognized academician, while Rebus is just an outstanding alumnus of Wuhan University.
In the business field, Rebus has rich experience and many achievements. As the founder of Xiaomi, he is rich, but compared to Wang Donglai, he is still far behind.
In comparison, Rebus can no longer afford to hold up to his predecessor in Wang Donglai.
After all, this world still depends on strength.
This strength includes financial resources, power and influence.
In the following time, Rebus would not bother Wang Dong to read the information.
Speechless all the way, the plane landed in Hangzhou, and Wang Donglai and Rebus went straight to Wuzhen, where the Internet conference was held. (End of chapter)
