Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2490 Test
"Li Kaixia led the team to design an adaptive wing-body fusion structure. After the spacecraft enters the Martian atmosphere, the ceramic-based composite rudder will be deployed in stages, and the peak heat flux will be controlled below 150W/cm through active deformation.

During the landing phase, the power output design of the mecha project department was adopted, with 24 micro-thrusters working in conjunction with the main engine to achieve hovering obstacle avoidance and centimeter-level landing accuracy..."

After listening to a brief introduction of the artificial intelligence AI [Tiangong], Gu Qing happened to meet with the research and development team of the spacecraft landing system.

Jiuzhou Technology's R&D lineup is no longer the same as it used to be with just a few big cats. Many project leaders now do not have many "legendary resumes" in the outside world. They are not top college entrance examination champions or outrageous talents who graduated with a doctorate at the age of 24. Many of them work at Jiuzhou Technology, and then learn step by step, pass promotion assessments, and work their way up from researchers to project leaders.

Even in the Titanium Star department, some project leaders only have a junior college degree as their first degree.

At Jiuzhou Technology, they have risen from ordinary factory workers to heights that many PhDs cannot reach.

His deeds also inspire many ordinary people who work at Jiuzhou Technology to read and study instead of drinking or going to bars after get off work.

Li Kaixia, although not a "junior college student", as an ordinary science student who graduated from a second-tier university, he actually did not expect that he would be able to successfully enter Jiuzhou Technology, nor did he expect that he would be promoted step by step to the Titanium Star Department, and then work in this department for many years, and even now, he can participate in the Mars landing project.

He also knew that if his landing spacecraft plan could be adopted, his name would surely become an extremely brilliant mark in the history of human science and technology and space exploration.

Therefore, when he saw that his boss, Mr. Gu, came in person to inspect the experiment, he seemed quite excited.

Gu Qing also noticed that the other person's expression was a little strange, so he took the initiative to smile and said, "Kaixia, I understand that you are excited. After all, it is your child who is taking the exam, but your face is too red. Did you have fried pork with peppers for lunch?"

When Li Kaixia heard this, he smiled awkwardly and shook his head, like a student who had not yet graduated.

"Boss Gu, what you said is true. I can still eat chili peppers now. When we have team gatherings, I can even eat medium-spicy food."

"Oh? Medium-spicy hotpot?" Gu Qing's question immediately made the atmosphere in the team much more relaxed.

At this point, many young people in Jiuzhou Technology feel a lot of pressure when facing Gu Qing.

After chatting with Li Kaixia and other researchers in the team for a while, Gu Qing finally took back the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Today, we should focus on testing. I read the experimental reports of the previous teams, and the data is not very good. Some parts cannot maintain structural integrity..."

At this point, Gu patted Li Kaixia on the shoulder and said, "Although your team's design seems to be quite standard and has no highlights, and it also uses some technical solutions from other departments' projects, in the outer space environment, moderation may be a better choice."

Far away on the moon, Zhang Tianhao, who was designing a new generation of spacecraft, suddenly sneezed and then said to himself: "With my physical condition and this level of air filtration, how could I sneeze? Are there any special particles that are not filtered? Or is it that in a low-gravity environment, the body will have such an uncontrollable situation? This is a problem..."

While thinking, Zhang Tianhao opened a tips function label and recorded his current doubts on it, preparing to deal with them when he has free time later.

Like Gu Qing, he would not ignore any special circumstances of his body in the outer space environment.

Jiuzhou Technology's self-developed and self-made wind tunnel also began to work. The wind tunnel system dug out from the mountains was like a giant dragon with a huge diameter, and there were balls of flame energy exploding inside it.

Ordinary wind tunnels rely on wind, but top-level wind tunnels use shock waves generated by explosions to simulate high-speed airflow, thereby testing and researching hypersonic aircraft.

If a spacecraft wants to launch from the blue planet to Mars, the tests it has to endure are more terrifying than those of ordinary hypersonic aircraft.

Breaking through the atmosphere requires extreme speed. On Mars, entering the Martian atmosphere and landing smoothly requires even more precise control of speed and system materials.

What's more, these two tests need to be experienced repeatedly.

After all, this time the Zhurong spacecraft must be able to go to Mars and also be able to return to the blue planet.

Amid the wave after wave of destruction caused by the explosion's shock waves, the test spacecraft designed by Li Kaixia's team and manufactured by the Titanium Star department did not fall apart, nor did its core functional components fall off. The test robot inside it remained in a stable state.

After the shock wave, the temperature inside this specially modified wind tunnel quickly rose to a high level.

And under the scorching heat, shock waves stronger than the last swept in.

The most destructive shock wave lasted for a full 72 seconds before it slowed down slightly.

72 seconds is like an inch of time compared to the mission cycle of a spacecraft. It is not obvious and not even a length.

However, a spacecraft can survive for 72 seconds in such an extremely harsh environment. The changes in collectors and material equipment in various places can already be deduced by artificial intelligence AI [Tiangong].

The quantum technology server and carbon-based chip server not far from the wind tunnel started high-power operation mode.

Artificial intelligence AI [Tiangong] needs to combine the massive real data in the database with the data collected and organized by the spiritual ecosystem over the years to conduct in-depth deductions to ensure that no small problems are missed.

With Jiuzhou Technology's current computing power and data reserves, it took AI [Tiangong] half an hour to complete the in-depth deduction.

Although it was not the first time that everyone in Li Kaixia's team had experienced this kind of thing, they still looked a little nervous, just like the first time.

They knew that if they could get a passing score on this test, their team would have a chance to move forward in the short term.

But if the result is below the passing line, or even the last among all competing teams, although there will be another chance to start over, the success rate will definitely not be high, and you will need to work hard on lower-level project tasks for a period of time before you can "make a comeback."
