Did the world end today?

Chapter 83 The stars hold the moon
The next day, Lin Xu got up very early and left for the company before 8 o'clock.

To be honest, it's impossible not to be nervous.

After all, he was meeting with a very important person today who was in charge of major national projects.

What is the YF-209? It's a key component of the "Nine Engines in Eight Years" program, a high-thrust engine specifically developed by the Sixth Academy for commercial aerospace!
The strategic significance of this thing in the entire space program goes without saying, and now, I am about to participate in this program.
-
No, to be precise, I wasn't involved in this plan.

Instead, it is participating in a large-scale manned space program that is based on and extends from the YF-209 project!

Moreover, I am not playing a minor role in this plan, but rather a key figure who can truly determine the direction of the project!
Anyone would be nervous in that situation.
As the massive state apparatus is about to slowly turn around under one's own hands, the pressure of responsibility also comes with it.

Lin Xu didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he saw that the number on his bracelet had returned to 3. He even entered the bracelet world once again and reconnected with Bai Mo, continuing to supplement the technical data on ultra-long-range manned spacecraft.

Although time and opportunities are limited, and what he has is incomplete, he has essentially acquired the most critical "skeleton" of the technology required for an ultra-long-range manned spacecraft.

Lin Xu believed that with the official talent pool and technical capabilities, even with just these few pieces of the skeleton, they would be able to piece together the technical framework and then fill it with flesh and blood.

If there are any further technical needs in the future, I'll address them when I re-enter the world of fitness trackers.

Lin Xu felt more confident and relaxed a lot.

After arriving at the company by car, he walked straight into the company's office building without looking up.

But just as he reached the door, he saw a familiar figure.

Qin Feng.

The latter was dressed in simple casual clothes, with his trousers pressed straight. He stood there like a javelin nailed to the ground, his spirit soaring higher than the ceiling. He was clearly no ordinary person.

Upon seeing Lin Xu, Qin Feng immediately came to greet him.

"Comrade Lin Xu!"

Lin Xu extended his hand to shake Qin Feng's, who walked beside him and led the way, saying:
"Thank you for your hard work on the weekend."

“We originally planned to concentrate our work on weekdays, but the Sixth Hospital is in a real hurry.”

“Their YF-209 project had already undergone ground testing, but after reviewing your proposal, they decided to return to the design phase and start developing it again.”

"This is a major decision and it needs to be supported by more concrete evidence."

"In addition, not only are the colleagues from the Sixth Academy here today, but also the secretary of Chen Mingbo, the secretary of the AVIC Group, and Director Liu Qijin."

"He mainly wants to discuss with you the specific implementation plan for the subsequent manned spacecraft program, the core of which is the issue of project milestones."

"According to the information he previously told me, AVIC's plan is to complete personnel coordination within a week, equipment scheduling within a month, engine development within three months, and launch the first verification ship within six months at the latest."

???

Lin Xuren was completely dumbfounded after Qin Feng finished speaking.

6 months?

Isn't that a bit too radical?
It's important to understand that even now, with Shenzhou spacecraft manufactured using standardized methods, the manufacturing cycle for an "ordinary" manned spacecraft still takes about a year.

If it were a large space shuttle like the Russian Buran, it wouldn't be impossible for it to be delayed for five or six years.

Now you're telling me, six months?

This timing is more than just "unbelievable".

It's absolutely unimaginable!

But since AVIC has brought this up, it is clear that they have already conducted a preliminary assessment.

They felt they could do it.

Gee.
Horror!
While Lin Xu was still marveling at the situation, Qin Feng had already led him directly into the conference room that had been prepared in advance.

The moment the two entered, everyone in the conference room stood up.

This is certainly not because of their high status or great power.

Lin Xu sensed something else from the eager gazes directed at him.

eager.

An almost obsessive thirst for technology, knowledge, and a vast future!

Although most of these people are already in high positions and no longer directly involved in the front-line R&D work of projects, almost all of them came from the front line of R&D.

They have a natural respect, even reverence, for technology.

When they realized that a major opportunity to achieve a technological breakthrough was before them, everyone spontaneously abandoned any sense of self-restraint.

"Comrade Lin Xu!"

"Lin Xu!"

"Comrade Lin!" Greetings rang out from all directions, and Lin Xu didn't even know which one to respond to first.

He could only smile somewhat stiffly and wave to the crowd.

He thought he would be facing an awkward "self-introduction" process, but before he could react, everyone swarmed around him.

"Comrade Lin Xu!"

An elderly man with gray hair, whom Lin Xu didn't recognize, nimbly pushed aside the people around him and rushed forward, grabbing Lin Xu's arm and asking impatiently:
"I have a question!"

"Regarding the control strategy for the nanosecond pulsed plasma actuator that you mentioned in your technical document, the current mainstream strategy is to continue researching the phase-locked control that MIT developed two years ago. However, I see that the technical solution you provided is an adaptive algorithm based on PID + neural network to dynamically optimize pulse parameters."

"This algorithm is very powerful—I've seen it, it's both brute-force and easy to use!"

"But the formula you provided only has the most essential part. After we deduced it, we found that it was missing a few key pointers."

Do you have a more complete algorithm code? If so, let's discuss it as soon as possible!

"It's very significant. If we can solve this problem, we won't need to go to the Russian Academy of Sciences to do project deals anymore!"

When can you expect to output the complete algorithm?

"No, not the complete algorithm! I'll just give you the missing pointers. Do you want to take a look now?"

The old man spoke very quickly and moved very excitedly. Lin Xu's hand was squeezed so hard it hurt, but at least he understood what the old man wanted.

Plasma exciter control algorithm?

What a coincidence.

I'm a coder myself, so I remember this part of the technology especially clearly.

After thinking for a moment, he answered:

"The core design language of this control scheme is PID short-time + neural network long-time control. The algorithm is actually not complicated. The main input parameters are pressure time series data, current pulse parameters, and operating condition parameters including mixing ratio, chamber pressure, etc."

"Compared to the algorithm itself, the greater challenge lies in training complex neural networks. We need edge computing devices with higher computing power to deploy lightweight neural networks, while keeping latency within an extremely low range."

"Etc., etc!"

Before Lin Xu could finish speaking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses squeezed to the front.

"Comrade Lin Xu, the problem of this control algorithm is too complicated. You can discuss it slowly."

“I have a very simple question here! We have already looked at the metamaterial pad you mentioned before. The general idea is to continue the topological phononic crystal design based on the band gap theory proposed by Caltech a couple of years ago.”

"I see no problem overall, except for one issue."

"What surface material is used? Hafnium carbide or tantalum carbide?"

"neither."

Lin Xu shook his head and replied:
"Nickel-titanium based shape memory alloys, which select the sound absorption frequency according to temperature."

"understand!"

The man immediately turned around and gestured to his secretary to take notes, and at the same moment, the others swarmed over like sharks smelling blood.

They realized that the technology Lin Xu possessed was more specific and detailed than the technology he had already submitted!

If we don't ask now, when will we?
Do we have to pour ourselves a cup of tea and chat while we drink?

Whoever speaks first gains the advantage!

Although being a few minutes faster or slower doesn't really make a difference, for some reason, I just want to be the first.
Lin Xu was momentarily at a loss, when suddenly a loud voice rang out.

"Everyone, sit down!"

"What do they all look like?"

"Where are the security guards? Come in!"

"Everyone else, return to your seats. Anyone who misbehaves will be taken out immediately!"

"If you try to get there first, I'll make sure you fly back and wait!"

After these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent instantly.

Everyone glanced at Lin Xu with reluctance before returning to their seats.

Lin Xu let out a deep breath.

His eyes looked somewhat lost.

shit
This is what is called
The feeling of being the center of attention?
