Chapter 598 The most important decision since time travel (Part 1)
"The Germans are using information gaps to find out?"
Hearing the 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 complicated to explain, so let's start from the beginning."
"First of all, factory 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. At that time, the base leaders discussed it several times over whether to do it or not. In the end, they were almost overturning the table."
Lao Guo on the side also nodded slightly when he heard this.
Students with good memory should remember it.
When they were developing the carrying airship for the Zhuxian Platform, 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 airship's capsule material 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 had a brief trouble with the braided load-bearing layer, but by coincidence, it was solved by the gas exchange membrane that failed to be produced by the 504 factory because it was tampered with by a 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.
Also worth mentioning.
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, no one knows it so far, 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 file bag with top-secret documents written on it.
From then on, the world only heard of its name but no one saw it. Just like the configuration of the hydrogen bomb, I do not admit its existence, but I do not deny its existence.
In short, if you have the ability, just guess.
But what about 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 there is no serious leakage from the living local donkey, 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 Qian 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.
And at the same time as the capital is launching native donkey protection.
However, Lao Guo rarely put forward an idea at a regular meeting not long ago:
Since the main raw materials for this kind of capsule or donkey pulp film are 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 a discarded waste, the 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 in Mao Xiong discovered that a kitchen knife 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 knife sets commonly used by fishermen across the sea.
Therefore, if the donkey pulp film can also become a DEXTER at a 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 voted on Lao Guo's plan according to standard procedures.
Results are in the process of voting.
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 represents risk after all, and now that the base can exchange for a large amount of winter wheat by relying on cola, there is no need to add any further.
After all, the furry bears are not stupid, and the things they change will definitely not be too good.
For example, they would never be able to trade the core data of the atomic bomb no matter what, and they still had to rely on themselves for all research and development matters.
But it is different from Lu Guangda and others.
However, Qian Bingqiong and Qian Wushi, two big guys named Qian, expressed their support, and Sun Jun and Ye Duzheng also quickly voted in favor.
They believe 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" to describe it, Saga, Camus, Shura and Mu, Aiolia, and Milo use Athena's exclamation to fight against each other.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zilong, also known as Xu Yun, appeared and 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 value in the aerospace field, such as space shuttle applications."
"At that time, you discussed the feasibility of the space shuttle with Comrade Yaoping, and finally summed it up in those words. Oh, I remembered, tiankeng, 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.
Everyone who is still alive in 2023 should know this.
At this time, Mao Xiong and Hai 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 parties have become almost obsessed with space exploration.
For example, the two sides launched a total of 17 Mars probes that year, 11 for 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 rover.
Another competitive direction that has to be mentioned is naturally the space shuttle.
The space shuttles across the sea are Pathfinder, Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor.
For furry bears, there are Buran, Birdie and Baikal space shuttles.
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 opposite side of the sea as an example.
Until 2023.
A total of 22 astronauts across the sea died, of which 14 were from the space shuttle, which was a proper accident generator.
But what really caused the space shuttle to be gradually relegated to the shadows 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 lot of creative work in orbit that required the talents 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 led 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.
Give an example.
KH-9Hexagon, the famous keyhole satellite.
Its LEO film has a carrying capacity of ten tons. When the film is used up, it will be 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. Same.
But on the other hand.
At the moment, Mao Xiong and Haidi don't know this at all due to the limitations of their time. The two brothers are holding their breath and humming and competing.
Then here comes the problem.
What would they do if Mao Xiong discovered that this film could withstand stronger tensile, bending and shearing forces than high-temperature tape when used 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 Mao Xiong will allin 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 the other side of 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, under 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, did you mean that?"
"The purpose of those Germans wanting to buy donkey pulp film is also to develop space shuttles?"
"Well, that's not the case."
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 to allow it to enter low-Earth orbit."
"At present, 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 followed Xu Yun's train of thought and thought about it:
".This is true. After Operation Paperclip, Germany no longer has many top talents."
"But if they don't build a space shuttle, what else can they do!"
Suddenly.
Lao Guo seemed to have realized something and looked at Xu Yun in surprise:
"Xiao Han, is that what 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 to use the information gap to find out."
"Obviously I want to use the film for satellite research and development, but I have to pretend that it is an urgently needed automotive material - can the value of these two things be the same?"
"I'll give you 5,000 US dollars per ton. Just kidding, we won't even sell you 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 membrane that undergoes vacuum deflation.
Among them, the word "de-orbit sail" is as it sounds, which is a means of de-orbiting the satellite after the satellite completes its mission.
It mainly uses the aerodynamic resistance 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 satellite substrate structure that 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 mention the first. 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 can only be 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 responsible for the research and development of Azur in the technology department and 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 Iles was lying, Lao Guo couldn't help but asked:
"Xiao Han, I admit that donkey pulp film is indeed of great use on satellites, but how do you know that the German named Iles is lying?"
"After all, auto parts do require special films for parts. For example, bearing connections, 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 what you said, 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 are 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 draw 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 R&D 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 Iles 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 startled and asked subconsciously:
"Xiao Han, how did you know about this?"
Xu Yun was well prepared for this, and he showed his hands to Lao Guo very calmly:
"You can read it in the newspapers. 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 became convinced.
Yes, this person is a seventy-year-old 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 subconsciously blurted out:
“Of course it’s a life with a German guy”
As a result, Xu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank without warning as he spoke:
"Wait, Germany??? What the hell?!?!"
The volume of Xu Yun's words "fuck" 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.
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 over 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 discovered in advance
Oh, and 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.
That being the case
This 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 for 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
