The technological empire begins with polymer materials

Gao Yuan followed Song Yuewen and walked into a room similar to a showroom. It was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and in the center was a circular platform with a set of spacesuits placed on the platform.

"On October 15, 2019, NASA officially announced the second-generation lunar landing spacesuit, code-named XEMU. Who would have thought that there would be a full fifty years between the two generations of spacesuits."

"Such a heavy back design is somewhat similar to XEMU. I'm afraid it's an outer space survival version of the space suit prepared for the moon landing plan, right?" Gao Yuan said excitedly as his eyes lit up as he looked at the space suit.

There are many types of space suits, including those for in-cabin activities, for space walks, and for lunar landings. I heard that North America is developing rapidly and is about to finalize the Mars space suit. The space suit with the development code Z2 will be Reaching an astonishing 10,000 hours of durability.

You know, the durability requirement for the lunar landing spacesuit is only a thousand hours, which shows the technology and ambition of North America.

Song Yuewen was startled and said in surprise: "Boss Gao is still paying attention to the aerospace field?"

Gao Yuan nodded lightly and said: "Of course, after all, the stars and the sea are a man's ultimate dream, and I have a feeling that our final battle with North America will probably take place in outer space."

"Just like the battle for hegemony between North America and the former Soviet Union, space technology is the standard configuration of all major powers. Now we are still competing on the ground, but one day, the track will switch to the broader universe."

"Elon Musk's Starlink, Human Brain Interface, Dragon spacecraft, and NASA's six major Mars technologies have all come to light in recent years. I am afraid they are the prelude to the restart of the Star Wars project."

Song Yuewen nodded repeatedly, "In recent years, North America's crazy acceleration has indeed brought unprecedented pressure to us. The competition has become increasingly fierce. People in the aerospace circle are speculating that once the time is right, North America may really restart. With the Star Wars program, we had to prepare in advance.”

"I didn't expect that we actually have a common language. From Han Chang's introduction before, I thought you only focused on the field of materials science."

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "After all, I am also a senior science and technology fan. Basically, I pay attention to all current cutting-edge scientific research projects, but I focus on materials."

Song Yuewen said with a very excited expression: "It is a blessing for the country to have people like Boss Gao who focus on basic scientific research. To be honest, your X series fiber has helped us solve a big problem! It has caused a huge sensation in the aerospace sector!"

Song Yuewen said with excitement, it turns out that this space suit uses a large amount of X series fibers.

As we all know, X2 type fiber has strong thermal insulation ability and is suitable for resisting the low temperature in space. X1 type is quick-drying and breathable and can be used as the first choice for astronauts' underwear. X3 type fiber has amazing elasticity and can improve the movement angle of the spacesuit and increase flexibility. The X4 type can seamlessly integrate rubber and is an important sealing material for space suits and even spacecraft.

Song Yuewen led Gao Yuan to other laboratories and saw seats made of X-fiber, space quilts, space capsule insulation interlayers, etc.

Compared with traditional materials, the X series has better performance and is lighter in weight. This is very important. After all, the weight of each launch is limited, and it has reached the point where every cent counts. Even if the mass is reduced by a few hundred grams, the initial velocity of the rocket will be affected. The orbit entry attitude and return recovery have a decisive impact.

"Let's get to know each other, this is the boss of Kunlun Company, Gao! The inventor of X-fiber, and also the editor-in-chief of Kunlun Wenwen Journal!" Wherever he went, Song Yuewen loudly introduced Gao Yuan to his colleagues.

"Boss Gao, nice to meet you!"

"You are now a well-known celebrity in the technology circle. Can you sign your name for me?"

"I didn't say it before, we love X-fiber so much! Kunlun Company is awesome, Boss Gao is awesome!"

Colleagues applauded and praised the performance of the X-series fiber, saying it was the greatest invention in the field of materials science in the past century. Some even asked Gao Yuan for his autograph.

After walking around for a while, Gao Yuan gained some limelight. Only then did he know for the first time that his products had been widely used in the aerospace sector and had become the main basic materials in major aerospace programs. They would soon be Full-scale march into space!

Of course, some research departments that were not convenient for Gao Yuan to enter were actively ignored by Song Yuewen. Gao Yuan walked past the doors of these laboratories and pretended not to see them.

In general, during this visit to the Aerospace Group, Gao Yuan felt the enthusiasm and sincerity. The researchers watched enthusiastically, and Song Yuewen basically showed Gao Yuan everything he could see.

At noon, they had a working meal together in the aerospace department's restaurant. Gao Yuan finally met Su Jiuzhou, one of the big bosses of the aerospace department.

"I have been on a conference call all morning. I am deeply sorry for not being able to receive Boss Gao and his party in person." Su Jiuzhou said very politely.

They sat down at a round table in the corner, and Song Yuewen brought Gao Yuan's lunch to the three of them with a smile.

The food is all vacuum-packed. In addition to cutlery, forks and spoons, it also comes with stainless steel scissors, vegetable soup and after-meal juice, packed in plastic bags that look like infusion bags in hospitals.

"Try the latest version of the space package. You are welcome to give us your valuable opinions." Song Yuewen said with a smile.

this…

Gao Yuan looked at the two green rice balls in his hands in a daze. They looked a bit like glutinous rice balls, but the color always felt wrong. Anyway, they made people lose their appetite.

There was also vacuum-packed smoked fish, which may have been a big piece of black because of too much soy sauce.

Cream sandwich biscuits, the taste is a bit hard...

After tasting it, Gao Yuan, Cao Feiyu, and Han Chang all agreed that the most delicious food in the space set meal was the vitamin gummy candies, which were sour and sweet, very appetizing, like ripe bayberry. As for the other things, let’s not mention them.

Su Jiuzhou said with a smile: "Space food focuses on balanced nutrition and absolute safety within the shelf life, so we have to make some compromises in terms of taste."

Gao Yuan and others understood the truth, but the thought of having to eat these things during the long space journey really made me feel a little nauseous.

After lunch, Gao Yuan was invited to Su Jiuzhou's office.

Su Jiuzhou made tea himself, and after everyone exchanged greetings, he frankly told the truth. Due to the special nature of the aerospace department, he directly invested X-fiber in the research project without saying hello to the plateau before.

Now that all aspects are progressing smoothly, the aerospace department is preparing to designate Kunlun Company as one of its main suppliers, so it is time to talk about cooperation.

Gao Yuan and Cao Feiyu quietly looked at each other, both with a bit of expectation and excitement.

A private enterprise that manufactures fiber products has become the main supplier of the aerospace sector. Even space suits use X series fabrics. It is very embarrassing to say that it will have an unimaginable boost to the company's reputation in the future.

Su Jiuzhou said very frankly: "This is the current situation. Your company's X series fiber is very important to us. As for the cooperation conditions, we can negotiate."

money?

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly. He had already passed the most difficult period in the early days of starting his business. Kunlun Company is now one of the most powerful suppliers of chemical fiber products in the world, and he is not short of money now.

His brain was working rapidly, and after careful consideration, Gao Yuan said, "In that case, let me make two requests."

Su Jiuzhou nodded slightly and listened with interest.

Gao Yuan said: "First of all, I hope to get a promise from you that the aerospace group's future scientific research masterpieces, under the same conditions, will be given priority to Kunlun Wendao."

Su Jiuzhou said with a smile: "I can promise you this now. Not to mention anything else, in the field of materials science alone, Kunlun Wendao is already ranked among the top in the world. It is not easy for our country to have top scientific research journals. This is We will definitely fully support the lifelong aspirations of many researchers!”

Gao Yuan thanked Su Jiuzhou, and then said: "The second condition is that I hope the Aerospace Group can work with us to set up a joint laboratory to conduct research on space fiber technology. For the convenience of research, I think the address will be in Jiangnan. .”

The second condition of the plateau is a bit like a thief. If the Aerospace Group brand is put into the Kunlun Company's test center, it will definitely be explosive news, which will be too embarrassing for the company.

Moreover, after the sign of the joint laboratory is put up, the aerospace group will definitely send people to station there. Plateau is not short of money now, but it is short of people, especially top scientific research talents. There is a thirst for talents.

Su Jiuzhou thought that this matter was actually beneficial to him. The aerospace group wanted to use a large amount of fiber materials from Kunlun Company. If he could participate in the research and development stage, it would be easier to meet his special needs.

"Then let's make an agreement!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiuzhou stood up and shook hands with Gao Yuan.

Considering his own interests, Su Jiuzhou agreed even though he knew that Gao Yuan was asking for someone from him. After all, in this situation, helping Kunlun Company in research and development was equivalent to helping himself.
