China attempted to join but turned away upon realizing it was merely being treated as a cash cow, and started supporting the domestically independent EAST project instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The EAST project, initiated in 2006, by the time Lin Ju crossed over, should have been the world’s premier and most advanced experimental controlled nuclear fusion device. The Academy of Sciences in Anhui Province announced that it would achieve commercial application by 2035.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether EAST could succeed or not, as one of the few advanced nuclear fusion research devices, its scientific merit was undeniable, and participating in it could hardly be considered a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for particle accelerators, Lin Ju knew that after 2020, the country proposed several large particle accelerator projects, each surpassing the LHC, but for some unknown reason, construction had yet to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this at least indicated that once the economy developed, the country was not averse to building such large scientific facilities; with the right timing, pushing for them could also be a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju, \"EAST is currently the world’s best controlled nuclear fusion device, and I think if Cheng Gong goes there, he’ll still need some extra leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could any sufficiently significant but not too groundbreaking theoretical results be found in this book?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Nankai, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changsi, \"There might be.

Niu Aihua?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As \"Z God,\" who had been immersed in aerospace and military forums from an early age, he naturally knew what \"50W\" meant and quickly realized what he had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qingfeng, struck as if by lightning, had no thought of resistance, and the Security Bureau didn’t intend to do much to a middle school student—only to teach the boy a harsh lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They printed out all of Zhou Qingfeng’s chat records with Niu Aihua, inquired if he was the person who replied to each statement, and required him to write his thoughts at the time after each line and then sign and stamp it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should know, there were many craftily flirtatious tactics thrown by Niu Aihua within these chat records, and Zhou Qingfeng dared not lie here, forced to comply with the Security Bureau’s requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the thick interrogation transcript was finished, Zhou Qingfeng had managed to gouge out two large holes in the sturdy insoles of his sports shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not the limit. The photos of Niu Aihua that he had secretly taken were also brought out, and he was required to detail all aspects of that day. It was hard to imagine the psychological shadow this would cast on a twelve-year-old child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another round of stern reprimand from the old man, Zhou Qingfeng had been deprived of his right to speak online. All posts by \"Z God\" were deleted, and from then on, he could only surf the web without replying to anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that alone was enough for Zhou Qingfeng to feel miserable, but what made him even more uncomfortable was his newfound knowledge that Niu Aihua was Huang Xiaobin’s mother...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qingfeng, far too mature for his age, let out a sigh and continued to browse through the forum posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While New Yuan was capturing headlines, the aerospace bureau was not falling behind either; A continuous stream of achievements began to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gas generator for the 220-ton class hydrogen-oxygen engine had been successfully manufactured, which was one of the core components of the engine, indicating that it was about to enter the prototype manufacturing stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to the poor performance of YF77, Zhou Qingfeng was not optimistic about the success of YF90 anytime soon. On the contrary, he felt that YF135 had better prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a split-enhanced single combustion chamber version of YF130, there were even fewer news about YF135 than YF90. The Sixth Academy seemed to have forgotten about YF135 after they had put tremendous efforts into successfully developing YF130.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that wasn’t actually the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’an, Rocket Engine Manufacturing Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the two workstations on the test stand was occupied by an engine of moderate size. Seconds after a white mist began to emanate from its combustion chamber, bright orange flames burst forth from the nozzle, creating a series of Mach diamonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experienced staff, by the vibrations beneath their feet alone, knew that it was generating thrust of about 300 tons, which should not be far off from the expected data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine being tested was, naturally, the aerospace bureau’s next generation of reusable high-thrust rocket engines—YF135.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 360-ton class single combustion chamber liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine, the standby power for the new CZ-5 and CZ-9, a cheap and reliable reusable rocket power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first prototype engine used for ignition tests; although its gimbal system and pipeline design did not yet support reusability, at least the thrust met the standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although YF130 was technically unremarkable, it had given the Sixth Academy genuine large rocket engine design and manufacturing capabilities. The progress with YF135 was much faster than expected, and increasing the combustion chamber pressure did not yield the unreliability some had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine ran smoothly, but the development of the CZ-5 and CZ-10 it was paired with had encountered some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem lay with the rocket body. First was the CZ-5, its six-meter-diameter rocket body could accommodate seven YF135 engines, but during the watertight swing test on the prototype, it was found that its strength was somewhat insufficient due to its excessive height. Furthermore, the 2600 tons of thrust produced by seven YF135 engines were too great, likely causing significant vibration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The CZ-9 faced a similar issue. With an eleven-meter-diameter body that needed to be recovered and an anticipated takeoff thrust of over ten thousand tons, the First Academy produced some segments of the rocket body but found them unreliable as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two solutions: reinforce the rocket body or increase the diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former goes without saying, but if it were the latter, the diameter of the CZ-5’s rocket body would have to be expanded from six meters to seven, and the CZ-9’s from eleven meters to twelve. This would naturally lower the rocket’s height and enhance its vibration resistance. Technically, this wasn’t a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, both solutions would increase the cost of the rocket. Changing the diameter of the rocket body would also mean adjusting the production equipment. Furthermore, the height of the CZ-5’s first stage would be reduced by about twenty meters, and the structure of the rocket body would have to be almost completely redesigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While technically feasible, the cost increase associated with both solutions was a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the expected maiden flight date for the CZ-5 was slated for before 2020, leaving some time for deliberation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1458,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.445Z",1,"novelbin.me","cee83732c2c3e8c36de4957cecd69b80248e87f19d243a1cb2c7cd49c67286d0","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-379","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-377",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
