in a conference room.

I saw a simple title printed on the curtain hanging in front of the conference room.

"On the Feasibility of Application of Fusion Battery Technology and Electric Propulsion System in Space Field"

This is the theme of today's meeting and the title of a paper.

Although the words are not very long, the amount of information is extremely large, so that the minutes of the meeting have been sent out for a long time, and the meeting has been started for a long time, but until now no one has spoken.

Looking around at the people sitting in the conference room, Director Sun closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, and broke the silence and spoke.

"...This paper was written by Professor Lu, and it was completed about two days ago. After receiving this paper, the central government attached great importance to it. My superior leader even asked me to hold this meeting in the bureau. , let’s discuss it.”

At this point, Director Sun paused for a moment, and after confirming that there was no missing information, he continued.

"I'd like to hear your thoughts on this paper ... or the space shuttle."

After the voice fell, there was still no sound in the meeting room.

After a while, the whispers of discussion spread from the conference room.

"The route of the space shuttle was shot by Mr. Qian himself. If we change the route at this time...isn't it good?"

"What Mr. Qian said can still be used for a lifetime? Moreover, his old man denied this route, and it was only out of consideration of the conditions of the times. If you wanted to build a jet plane a hundred years ago, do you think someone would think you are a normal person?"

"I agree with Professor Yu's point of view. Both the NASP program of the United States and the Sanger program of West Germany have reusable space shuttles as the focus of the development of the future space shuttle transportation system. I believe that people in the United States have eaten so much on the space shuttle. Fortunately, the understanding of pain should be more painful than ours, and to make them make such a choice must have been carefully considered. Therefore, even if we don’t pay attention to it, we must not ignore it!”

Sitting at the head of the conference table, Director Sun quietly listened to the discussions of the people.

Although the content of the discussion is superficial, it can't be helped.

After all, Professor Lu's paper mentioned a lot of sensitive things, which are not suitable for public discussion, and even this kind of closed-door expert meeting is not suitable, so the materials sent to the participants are all After some modification. For example, the part like the fusion battery is conjectured as an unfinished technology and described in a hypothetical description.

And for this unreliable assumption, most people obviously don't take it into account.

In fact, a similar debate happened a long time ago, and even broke out in this conference room, but at that time there was no such advanced multimedia equipment, and the people sitting here had changed.

Seeing the turmoil in the conference room, Deputy Director Wang, who was sitting next to Director Sun, lowered his voice and whispered a reminder.

"Director."

"What's wrong?"

"I said this discussion... is it necessary to continue?"

Director Sun raised his eyebrows.

"How to say?"

Deputy Director Wang continued: "The meaning above is to make us take Professor Lu's paper seriously. Isn't the meaning obvious enough?"

The corner of his mouth slightly twitched, Director Sun said with a blank expression: "The discussion still needs to be discussed. If there is a problem before the time, you will be responsible?"

The deputy director gave a smug smile, and immediately shut his mouth and didn't speak.

The debate gradually became heated.

Those who support and those who oppose each other stand on opposite sides, and no one can convince the other.

Rolling up his cuffs and looking at his watch, he saw that the time was almost up, Director Sun cleared his throat, and raised his voice to speak.

"...In order to ensure that the meeting can be carried out more effectively, here I will show you some things that have not been made public yet. I hope you will reconfirm that you are not carrying communication equipment with you, and promise to keep everything you see today strictly confidential."

The meeting room gradually fell silent.

The experts sitting in the banquet looked at each other, and many people had a thoughtful expression in their eyes.

Of course, some people were still full of confusion, and turned their questioning eyes to Director Sun who was sitting at the head of the conference table.

Director Sun didn't explain, but just glanced at the secretary standing beside him, and then nodded slightly.

The secretary standing next to the multimedia desk understood immediately, and put a CD into the notebook computers placed on the multimedia desk, then operated the mouse, quickly retrieved the original paper from the CD, and released those inconvenient Publicly available data, and some information about fusion batteries.

The moment these materials were displayed on the curtain, the meeting room was as quiet as dead silence, as if a needle could be clearly heard on the ground.

About five minutes passed, and after reading these materials, the sound of admiration spread from every corner of the conference room like a sweeping wave.

"100MW! It's impossible!"

"If the output power of the power supply equipment can reach 100MW...theoretically, it is not impossible to generate a thrust of KN level."

"That's incredible! Even if the power can reach 100MW, what kind of electric propulsion engine can provide this kind of KN-level thrust?!"

At present, the electric propulsion engine with the largest thrust in the world is NASA's NEXT system, with a power of 6.9KW, but the thrust is only 0.236N.

Thrust of KN magnitude...

It may be possible to do it with MW-level energy, but there is no electric propulsion system that can harness this energy in the world.

Staring at the data displayed on the screen, the old professor wearing glasses couldn't help but say.

"What kind of electric propulsion system is needed to achieve this level..."

"Isn't it a scam?"

"Impossible, Professor Lu is the one who wrote this report, will that guy be short of funds?"

"Then you can't just talk nonsense!"

"Maybe he can do it?"

"Quiet!"

A loud voice interrupted the noisy sound in the meeting room.

Looking around at the experts in the meeting room, the director was silent for a while before speaking.

"I can't comment on whether this project is reliable or not. After all, I have flown on airplanes many times, but I have never flown on a space shuttle."

"You are experts in the aerospace field. In the past two decades, our aerospace industry has made great strides based on your experience. Not only have you broken through the blockade of technology, but you have also completed many other developments. The country even thought about it. unthinkable things.”

"Therefore, I trust your experience and your judgment."

After a pause, Director Sun concluded the debate with one sentence.

"Show your hands and vote."

There was a long silence in the meeting room.

Looking carefully at the data on the curtain, the experts sitting at the conference table fell into deep thought.

Gradually, a hand was raised.

And then the second one...

The third...

After waiting quietly for a minute, Director Sun looked around the conference room and counted roughly.

Eleven of the twenty raised their hands.

No matter how many abstentions there are, at least the opposing opinions do not account for the majority.

Slowly relieved, looking at the people in the meeting room, Director Sun nodded, stood up slowly with his hands on the table, and succinctly stated the decision he had already made.

"Approve the project!"

"The meeting is over!"
