The four hundred and fortieth chapter of the spirit of the craftsman(1/2)

Now Kowloon University is experimenting with the ‘one rocket, multiple satellites’ technology because in the next five years, 10,000 satellites will be launched into space to compete with Space X for high-quality orbital resources.

You can go, but I can't?

As a national institution, SA has some things that are inconvenient to do. After all, it represents the image of the country.

But if it is a private enterprise, it is different. As long as the private enterprise does not break the law, it can do it. If there are any accusations from the outside world, it can be said that this is a corporate behavior, this is the freedom of the enterprise, and the government should not interfere too much.

Space

Now, Kowloon University has registered the ‘Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company’, which is a completely private enterprise. Naturally, it can follow suit and cross the river by rubbing Space X’s head.

This year, the "Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company" will not only try the "multi-satellite with one rocket" technology, but also try the rocket recovery technology.

Although there is actually no economic advantage in primary recycling or secondary recycling, once it reaches the third recycling, rocket recycling technology begins to have certain economic advantages. The more recycling times, the more obvious the economic advantage becomes.

Although the 'Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company' has only been registered for three months, it has already begun to recruit people. Because of the support from its superiors, the 'Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company' has signed a five-year lease contract with the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Rent the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to launch a series of launch missions.

In the next five years, "Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company" will recruit more than 2,000 employees, more than 80% of whom will be engineers.

‘Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company’ is registered in Narcissus Port and is currently applying for a piece of land to establish its headquarters, and the application report is in the process of going through the process.

Of course, unlike Space

The three satellites carried this time are all Internet communication satellites, weighing 500 kilograms. They are all satellites with uniform specifications and can be mass-produced in satellite factories. According to the plan, such a satellite will have many unnecessary parts removed.

function, and it is mass production, even if the launch cost is included, it will only cost about 2 million yuan.

Once the headquarters of the "Kowloon Star Exploration Technology Company" is completed, the satellite manufacturing plant will be able to manufacture 150 to 200 satellites a month.

In terms of scale advantages, Space X cannot catch up with China!

At this time, CCTV launched a program - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

On July 7 this year, the undersea tunnel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed, marking the completion of the main project of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, a "century project" that took 13 years of demonstration, design, and construction.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has a total length of 55 kilometers. It is a super-large cross-sea channel connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau. It has achieved the "six best": the longest overall span in the world, the longest steel structure bridge, and the longest submarine immersed tunnel.

The cross-sea bridge is also the bridge with the most complex technology, the most difficult construction, and the largest engineering scale in the history of world highway construction.

This bridge is of great significance to the economic and social integration of the three places. It is related to the "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Greater Bay Area Strategy" and has attracted much attention from the beginning of the project.

Speaking of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the early planning took 20 years. In 1983, Hu Yingxiang, a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong, proposed the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge connecting Hong Kong and Zhuhai. In 1989, ZH City announced the Lingdingyang Plan for the first time. In 1992, the Huaxia Expressway Network was

During the planning, the coastal expressway was connected to the Lingdingyang Bridge, but it was not until 1998 that the country officially approved the Lingdingyang Bridge project. Unfortunately, the bridge project was shelved in the following years.

It was not until 2004 that the Lingdingyang Bridge project was replaced by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project. At this time, a preliminary coordination group was established to fully initiate the preliminary work of the bridge construction.

In 2008, this special year, the year when Beijing hosted the Olympic Games, the feasibility report of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project passed the expert review, which represented the official start of this century project with an investment of more than 100 billion.

At that time, China's technology in cross-sea bridges and undersea tunnels was far inferior to what it is now. At that time, foreign countries maintained a high degree of technological blockade, and even ridiculed that China's construction alone would not be able to build the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

During the construction of the bridge, the Chinese construction team discovered that many foreign technical experiences were not applicable to the actual situation. They could only rely on Chinese wisdom to explore, explore and overcome difficulties one by one. During the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, many domestic

Universities and scientific research institutes participated and played an important role in technical support.

It can be said that China has overcome all the difficulties encountered in the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, making China's cross-sea bridge technology and submarine tunnel technology become the best in the world. At the same time, the main body of this bridge is now

The whole line is connected, and there is no doubt that it is like a slap in the face, a slap in the face to the person who was sarcastic at the beginning.

This special program launched by CCTV tells the past and present life of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the various difficulties encountered in the design and construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

And this show is very popular.

Looking at the once prosperous and energetic engineers who have turned gray-haired after more than ten years, one can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

People only say that China is an "infrastructure maniac", but who knows where there are real infrastructure maniacs, but they are just forced out.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a century-old project. Who knew that every bridge pier is actually the blood and sweat of a worker.

Anyone who has worked on a bridge project knows the difficulty and danger involved, and some people know the bitterness involved.

It is precisely because of the succession of bricklayers that China's construction technology has become the leader and has broken through overseas technical blockades.

Behind China's rejuvenation, it is not one or two people who are working hard, but most people are working hard, and the current rejuvenation of China is possible.

Just when most universities and high schools across the country were holding military training, the Kowloon Times headquarters held a press conference. However, after years of research and improvement, the third generation lithium-sulfur battery was launched. Compared with the second generation lithium-sulfur battery,

Battery, the performance of the third generation lithium-sulfur battery has been greatly improved.

In fact, the third-generation lithium-sulfur battery was successfully developed two years ago. However, the third-generation lithium-sulfur battery produced at that time was used in the military and aerospace fields, and was not intended for civilian use.

Now, it can be produced in large quantities. Only after obtaining the consent of relevant departments can the third-generation lithium-sulfur battery be officially launched.

The lithium-sulfur battery that Liu Yichen took out for mass production was the first-generation lithium-sulfur battery.

That does not mean that the first-generation lithium-sulfur batteries are perfect. On the contrary, the first-generation lithium-sulfur batteries have great potential that can be tapped.

This press conference attracted many media.

After all, now, new energy vehicles equipped with lithium-sulfur batteries have become the brightest pearl in the automobile industry. Production and sales have increased significantly every year. Everyone knows that now and in the future, they belong to new energy vehicles.

It is precisely because of this that in the automotive field, Huaxia has achieved overtaking in corners in just a few years, and has become the world's top in battery packs, electric motors and other fields.

This third-generation lithium-sulfur battery press conference attracted major global car companies. For the field of smartphones, the first-generation lithium-sulfur battery is sufficient, and the difference is not big. But for cars, the third-generation lithium-sulfur battery is sufficient.

The competitiveness of the first-generation lithium-sulfur battery is much greater than that of the first-generation lithium-sulfur battery.

After all, the more advanced the battery pack, the greater the battery life, the longer the service life of the battery pack, and the stronger the power for the same battery pack.

This is the competitiveness of car companies. Under the same circumstances, the more advanced the battery pack, the higher the price and the greater the profit margin.

More importantly, under the strong hand of the Kowloon Era, the landscape of car companies has undergone great changes. In the past, some car brands were either bankrupt and liquidated, or were struggling to survive. It is estimated that they will not last long.

Production is limited, and whoever can obtain the third-generation lithium-sulfur battery first will have a first-mover advantage in market competition and establish reputation and impression first.

Over the years, Kowloon Times has been dominating the lithium battery market. It is the dominant player in the lithium battery market, accounting for more than 80% of the market share and 97% of the profits. It can be said that most of the profits have gone into the pockets of Kowloon Times.

Moreover, as a separate business, it has also formed an industrial chain and industrial scale, and the bargaining power is always in its hands.

Some raw material companies once joined forces to significantly increase the price of raw materials. As a result, the Kowloon Times turned their hands into clouds and turned their hands into rain, and they were killed on the beach.

Liu Yichen is quite pleased with the development of Jiulong Times. After all, apart from the initial funding and technology, Liu Yichen did not put much thought into it later. However, Jiulong Times insists on investing in R&D every year, allowing the R&D team to continue to work on lithium-sulfur batteries.

Advance without stopping. This is not only reflected in the launch of second-generation lithium-sulfur batteries and third-generation lithium-sulfur batteries, but also in the number of patent applications every year. Although the number of patent applications is not as high as that of Huawei, it is also among the top companies in China.

of.

Although it has been the largest private enterprise in China for several consecutive years, the Kowloon era is still young and there have not been many major corporate diseases. Employees who do not want to work will not be retained, and employees move around every year.

Just as the Kowloon Times was ushering in new news, a piece of bad news spread throughout China. The "Father of FAST" Nan Rendong passed away.

As a famous astronomer in China, Nan Rendong's main research fields are radio astrophysics and radio astronomy technology and methods. One of his most remarkable achievements is that as the chief scientist and chief engineer of the FAST project, he is responsible for the 500-meter national major scientific and technological infrastructure.

Scientific and technical work of the Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST).

Liu Yichen couldn't help but feel uncomfortable because Nan Rendong's name was on the preliminary list of candidates for the election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he died before he was successfully elected as an academician.

Liu Yichen admires this older generation of scientific researchers in his heart, because since 1994, he has been responsible for the site selection, pre-study, project establishment, feasibility study and preliminary design of FAST. It is also his efforts

With persistence, FAST was completed and launched.

It can be said that I will do this one thing for the rest of my life!

But just such a thing allows China to have the largest and most advanced radio telescope in the world, which can better observe the universe.

Perhaps, nine out of ten people are unhappy in life!

Nan Rendong passed away before he was successfully elected as an academician. It is a regret and a regretful beauty in life.

Although everyone belongs to different fields, Liu Yichen still sent a condolence letter in his own name.

In the blink of an eye, October has entered. During the seven-day National Day holiday in China, the annual Nobel Prize Week has also ushered in. This year’s Nobel Prize prize money is much richer than in previous years, exceeding 1 million US dollars. Nobel Prize winners,

It also received a lot more attention than in previous years.

The first to be announced was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This award is awarded to American scientists Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young for their discoveries related to the molecular mechanism of the circadian clock.

Next came the Nobel Prize in Physics. This time the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scholars in the field of gravitational wave observation, that is, the LIGO detector and gravitational wave observation. Although the LIGO detector and gravitational wave observation are still

There are still some disputes, and I feel that it is still uncertain, but the Nobel Prize Committee will still award this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics to them.

As for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, it was awarded to cryo-electron microscopy, which can determine the structure of biomolecules in solution at very high resolution. This decision caused great controversy and dissatisfaction in the field of chemistry.

, because scholars in the field of chemistry have found that Nobel Prizes are increasingly awarded to the field of biochemistry, which is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Since entering the 21st century, most of the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry have been awarded to biochemistry. Achievements in the field of biochemistry can win either the biology prize or the chemistry prize. It is simply taking advantage of them.

Liu Yichen received the call. The chemists and materials scientists he knew were madly complaining about the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He believed that the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was becoming more and more chaotic and not doing its job properly. If this continued, the award would be abolished.

Liu Yichen just smiled. Over the years, chemistry and materials science have not developed without development. On the contrary, they have made great progress. But you must know that even the Nobel Prize, which is known as the most just and highest honor, is hard not to win.

Influenced by politics.

For example, this time, the NGO's International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won the Nobel Peace Prize. This is simply ridiculous.

The Nobel Prize this time has been quite controversial and aroused, not only in China, but also overseas.

After winning the Nobel Prize, Liu Yichen actually has no obsession with the Nobel Prize and has never thought about winning the Nobel Prize again. In this position, he can see more clearly that the Nobel Prize is packaged in a high-end package.

, but in the final analysis it is an award.

There are several reasons why people pursue the Nobel Prize. One is that the Nobel Prize prize is very high, almost the highest prize in all fields. Scholars are generally not rich, and a million-dollar prize is not a good choice for these scholars.
