"Mr. Ma only has thirty minutes to discuss with you. In thirty minutes, Mr. Ma will go to Africa to meet the leaders of the two countries." Teacher Ma's assistant reminded.

"I know." Dong Jiangbo met Teacher Ma, the person who once ranked richest in China. Although he has now taken up the position of Alibaba's board of directors, he is still the invisible master of this giant company.

Teacher Ma now focuses more on investment than commercial operations. When the aerospace industry changes, he keenly noticed Xingyao Space Technology Company and wanted to buy Xingyao Space Technology directly, but was rejected by Dong Jiangbo.

"Mr. Ma, we've met again, lucky to meet." Dong Jiangbo and Teacher Ma have already met, this is the second time.

Teacher Ma was wearing a Chinese-style dark gown, gray cotton pants and cloth shoes, which was his favorite dress of hermit master.

After the two shook hands, Teacher Ma took a look at the documents compiled by the assistant. He put his hands on his knees and said, "Mr. Dong, our conditions are already very generous. All China, I bet that except Alibaba, there is no company that has better conditions than what we have given!"

Dong Jiangbo looked puzzled and said, "It is absolutely impossible to give up the voting rights of Xingyao Board of Directors. I believe you know the reason for this."

"Although you are willing to invest, the investment amount has not reached my ideal amount, and we prefer to operate independently, limited to technical cooperation, rather than letting Ali's management enter the Star Glory."

Teacher Ma shook his head and said, "Your idea is too shallow. Ali's joining is the best of both worlds. Our business capabilities, big data technology, and talent reserves can help Xingyao go further."

"As for the 10 billion investment you proposed, Ali is not without money, but you have to give me a reason to convince me."

"Mr. Ma, Du Xingyu is my junior brother. As long as he can have this 10 billion investment, he will serve as Xingyao's special technology consultant to help develop rocket and spacecraft technology!" Dong Jiangbo said, "The future of commercial rockets is here!"

"I know that child is a very capable young man." Teacher Ma smiled and said, "But this doesn't convince me to spend 10 billion. Rocket technology, you are too behind..."

Dong Jiangbo’s negotiations with Teacher Ma were not going smoothly. After all, Teacher Ma was only willing to invest one billion, and some other funds were similar to investors.

Dong Jiangbo went to meet several other domestic giant companies, such as Penguin, Huawei, etc., but the responses received were almost the same.

They are willing to invest some money, but if they want to spend 10 billion, these companies are not willing. The reason is very simple. The current strength of Star Rockets is too weak, and these large companies do not attach much importance to the commercial benefits brought by space exploration.

"It's hard!" When chatting with Du Xingyu Weixin, Dong Jiangbo sighed, "I have visited many investment institutions. If I really want to calculate, it's a bit difficult to get an investment of 20 to 3 billion yuan, 10 billion yuan."

Du Xingyu replied: "Senior brother, they underestimated the development speed of space technology. If they knew that humans would soon have the ability to enter space activities, they would not think so."

Dong Jiangbo said helplessly: "It's not that they don't believe it, it's because our Xingyao rockets are too weak. If we also have the strength of a space exploration technology company, I'm afraid these companies will rush to send money."

Du Xingyu thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother, you don't have to worry. Now you can take advantage of this wave of space fever to absorb more funds and recruit talents."

"I think in another three months, I should be able to prove to them that the era of space exploration is coming!"

"???" Dong Jiangbo said curiously, "Three months, what will happen in three months?"

"I can't say this for the time being, it's a confidential task." Du Xingyu said, "Anyway, you'll know in three months."

"Okay!" Although Dong Jiangbo was still full of doubts, he chose to believe Du Xingyu. He said, "Then I will make good arrangements and wait for you for good news in three months!"

Nuclear-powered rocket research team, Du Xingyu sat in the office. He put down his cell phone and looked at the three-dimensional design drawings on the computer.

It has been two months since the nuclear-powered rocket project was launched. In the past two months, he has relied on technology simulators to complete problems such as reactor control, exhaust pollution and radiation protection. The most important thing now is the design of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster.

On the technology simulator, the design progress of the thruster has been completed by 50%, and he estimates that the results will be available this month.

Most of the rocket's body has been made...

"Strive to complete the design of the nuclear-powered rocket thruster within half a month, manufacture and assembly in one month... commissioning in the remaining month." Du Xingyu calculated in his mind.

Three months later, the Space Administration has a number of important satellites and probes to be launched, including the final work of the third phase of the China Lunar Exploration Project, the Chang'e-5 lunar probe.

Before the Chang'e-5 probe, the China Space Administration had launched Chang'e-1 to 4 probes, and these probes had more advanced functions than the other.

The Chang'e-5 probe, which has been debugged and waited for launch, is the first probe in China that has the function of sampling on the surface of the moon and returning to the earth!

When launched, it will definitely attract public attention. If a nuclear-powered rocket can undertake the mission of launching the Chang'e-5 probe, the reputation of the nuclear-powered rocket will also be known worldwide.

As long as the nuclear-powered rocket can be successfully manufactured and ensure safety, Du Xingyu is not worried that the superiors will not approve the test launch. Because the China Space Administration is accustomed to making "two-hand preparations", probes like Chang'e 5 are manufactured at one time, leaving one for backup.

For example, the Tianwen-1 Mars rover that was launched last time is now available. There is a backup in the space agency and is being transformed and is being launched as a second Mars rover.

Du Xingyu opened the technology simulator, invested 100,000 energy points, and began to simulate and design the nuclear-powered rocket thruster.

In his mind, he was creating a "high-efficiency thermal energy exchange" that is a device to utilize nuclear energy.

The nuclear reactor in the design is a nuclear fusion reactor, which has a strong risk of radiation pollution. Once the thermal energy cannot be controlled well, an explosion may occur!

At that time, this nuclear-powered rocket will become a small nuclear bomb! So this step is crucial!

"Research and development success!" With the prompts of the technology simulator, the drawings of the high-efficiency thermal switch were lit up.

Du Xingyu took a look and continued: "Invest 100,000 points of energy to start the simulation of the turbo pump assembly!"
Chapter completed!
