Ten times the price of the same weight of gold! And this is just a reference price. In fact, anyone who knows how to read faces can know from Academician Cheng Feng’s face that the price of the K01 engine from Gaoshou Company is definitely far more than this price!
Space competition is not only a technical competition, but the most important thing is a competition in national strength! In this world where the cost per gram is calculated, the consumption of national power is unimaginable. Many countries predict that building a real space station that is self-sufficient and even capable of self-replication is actually building a real space factory.
However, such technology is not easy to achieve. In space, the most ideal mining location on Earth is the moon. But in this regard, all countries can only smile bitterly at the moon. Mining is different from sampling. Even the mining bases of various countries on the moon today are small and pitiful, and they only collect the most important nuclear fuel. As for gold and silver, they were all put aside. Even though we have reached space, gold and silver are not that valuable anymore!
Since current technology does not allow large-scale mining in space, current space supplies still completely rely on the earth, and the cost can be imagined.
On this side, a large number of reporters were still asking questions, and some even began to ask the expert company employees around them. For some things that can be said, the employees of the master company also briefly explained it. But I don’t know anything about the principles of research and development. The only thing that can be leaked is a plasma theory.
Such an answer made those reporters with ulterior motives roll their eyes. Nonsense, you still need to say these few words. Who doesn’t know that plasma technology is now hailed as the most promising and potential space technology in the next hundred years!
We only know the term plasma technology, but technically, there are still many problems. Like ordinary civil aircraft, even jet aircraft, the gas temperature is only 600-800 degrees. The material performance requirements are not particularly high, mainly due to limitations in processing technology. When it comes to defense-level fighter jets, the gas temperature has reached more than 1,000 degrees, and some even exceed 1,300 degrees. At this time, the test of materials is already extremely high, so that many countries cannot produce such high-end engines on their own. This includes the former China.
And the further plasma engine is even more amazing, with a starting temperature of 2000 degrees! The core temperature can reach 5,000 degrees at one time. Such high temperatures directly limit the research and development of plasma engines. But now, Gaoshou Company suddenly announced: We have completed the research on the plasma engine! This is really shocking enough.
As a reporter who travels around the world, although I am not a professional researcher, I still have a good vision! I still have some understanding of various difficulties in general technology. But in this regard, the staff of Gaoshou Company kept silent. If any reporter asked such a sensitive question, he would be warned the first time and dragged away the second time without hesitation!
Suddenly, a beautiful blonde reporter caught Li Yuzhang who had just left the range of Zhang Jingyuan and his group. "Hello Mr. Li, Mr. Li, I am Emily, the China correspondent of the Associated Press. Can you give me a valuable interview opportunity?"
"Okay, in addition, my surname is Li, which has the second tone, not the third tone of Muzi Li."
"Oh, sorry, Chinese is really a great language, please forgive my shallowness." It was indeed a reporter, and Li Yuzhang relieved his dissatisfaction with a few words. "Mr. Li, I heard today that you have completed a breakthrough in battery technology. I wonder if it would be convenient to know more about the battery technology you are researching?"
"Well, I can reveal some information. This is a battery technology that will be used in aerospace. I think your home country, the United States, also has mature research in this area. For the time being, the battery we are researching can store 3 million energy at a time. kilowatt-hour. This reserve is about 30 times the last internationally announced reserve.”
"Oh, it sounds very powerful, but please forgive me, I really can't understand how much electricity 3 million kilowatt hours is. Can you explain it with a detailed metaphor?"
"Okay beautiful lady. How many milliamp hours does your camera battery have?"
"With 20,000 mAh, it can be used for three days! This is one of the best cameras on the market."
"Well, it is indeed a very good camera. My wife also uses it."
"Really? Then I am really lucky!"
"20,000 mAh is two kilowatt-hours of electricity. The energy stored in 3 million kilowatt-hours is equivalent to the storage capacity of 1.5 million batteries in your camera battery. Based on the use of each battery for three days, you can use the latest battery developed by our company Come and take pictures for 4.5 million days without interruption, which is almost 12,000 years. Of course, I also wish you can have such a lifespan.”
"Oh - my good!" In an instant, Emily was stunned... At this moment, she finally had a clear understanding of the 3 million kilowatt-hour electricity. It is indeed a big number...
In fact, after saying this, Li Yuzhang himself felt a little emotional. It has 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, but it can only fly the plane at full speed in the sky for one hour!
It is indeed high-tech!
Before Li Yuzhang took a few steps, he was seen by another reporter, and he instantly regretted leaving the team of Zhang Jingyuan and others.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am a reporter from xx. Can I ask you how you feel about receiving a 20 million cash reward..."
"Hello Mr. Li, I am a reporter from oo. Can you tell me about your insights during the research process?"
"Hello Mr. Li, I am from the Republic of Korea. I wonder if you are willing to work in our country. We are willing to give you all the remuneration you want."
"Okay, my reward is a thousand years of life!" After Li Yuzhang said that, he turned and left. As the cultivation level improves, everyone can feel the benefits. At this time, even if the master company only sends basic salary, no researchers will leave.
"Oh... God will punish you, this greedy devil!" The South Koreans stared blankly... this unreasonable bastard!
"Sorry, this is the East, the territory of the Supreme Lord!" Li Yuzhang replied.
"..."
"Hahaha..." Many people laughed.
This event was a success. Gaoshou Company successfully developed an aerospace engine with a power of 600,000 degrees and a thrust of 50 tons. It is a standard plasma engine! In an instant, the aerospace world exploded.
In an instant, all the telephones in the master's company were about to be blown up. There are even some companies or national personnel that have flown directly to China without any previous communication.
At this time, the Paris Air Show, which is the most famous in the world, personally called and invited expert companies to participate in the exhibition. The invitation-only exhibition is different from the general participation form. If you are invited, you will be given a space of about 100 square meters, and it must be a good place. It's an honor!
The Paris Air Show in 2045, which will be held for seven days from June 17 to 23, officially invites expert companies to come. In addition to paying for the travel expenses themselves, the Paris Air Show officially contracts the transportation costs of engines, etc., and is responsible for the processing of certificate procedures, etc. In a word, as long as you leave China, the Paris Air Show will be responsible for everything! Since you are so kind, then go! Zhang Jingyuan made the decision on the spot. In fact, now that the engine research is successful, even if Paris does not invite it, the master company will apply.
