Chapter 640: Progress of Aerospace Fighter
Lin Shi was not overshadowed by Xu You's brilliance. Relying solely on her own abilities, she was fully worthy of the status of a top scientist of the younger generation.
However, in the field of aerospace, Lin Shi has not yet reached a very high level. He relies more on Xu You's relationship to be able to enter the Aerospace Academy and participate in some internship work.
Xu You's words hit Lin Shi's sore spot, making Lin Shi dare not refute a single word.
"This girl, I didn't realize before, is actually quite gossipy." Xu You complained in his heart.
Lin Shi was only particularly concerned about the affairs of Xu You and Lu Zhiyao, and did not really care about all kinds of entertainment gossip. After being scolded by Xu You, she continued with her work.
Just then, Cui Ying walked in.
Xu You thought that Cui Ying, like Lin Shi, came to ask him why he came back early, but he didn't expect that Cui Ying was not talking to him about this.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Wu just came to see you."
"Teacher Wu? Wu Jing?"
"Yes, it's Teacher Wu Jing." Cui Ying nodded.
Cui Ying's way of interacting with Xu You was much more serious, and there was no personal emotion when they talked about these things.
"I just came back yesterday, and my mother came to see me today... This is too fast."
Xu You knew that Wu Jing must have received the news of his return as soon as possible, which was why she appeared so quickly.
Xu You did not dare to delay and immediately invited Wu Jing to his office.
"You and Yaoyao finally had this opportunity, why didn't you play for a few more days, but instead came back early?"
As soon as she saw Xu You, Wu Jing asked about this matter.
What Wu Jing said was similar to what Lin Shi said, but Xu You didn't dare to repeat to Wu Jing what he said to Lin Shi.
"Yaoyao wanted to come back early. She said that I looked a little absent-minded and kept thinking about the things on the moon. She also guessed that the asteroid's expected impact point was on the moon. She also hoped that we could find out the truth as soon as possible and resolve those potential crises."
Xu You simply told Wu Jing that Lu Zhiyao had calculated the expected impact point of the asteroid, which was near the No. 3 lunar rover. Wu Jing was also somewhat surprised after hearing this.
"I didn't expect Yaoyao's calculation ability is so strong. I really underestimated her before."
"Of course, Yaoyao is very good at science, but she didn't like science at first and didn't choose this direction. After college, Yaoyao fell in love with science again, which is also deeply related to her direction of natural philosophy..."
Speaking of Lu Zhiyao, Xu You became excited again and talked about it in front of Wu Jing.
"By the way, Mom, why are you so anxious to find me here? Is there something ?"
Xu You knew that Wu Jing was so anxious to find him that she must have something important to discuss with him, so he asked hurriedly.
"It's about the aerospace fighter. We know inside that this asteroid visit is unusual, and the key to unlocking this secret is to know what secrets are hidden inside the moon."
"How is the progress of the aerospace fighter project?" Xu You asked.
"Overall, the progress is good, but there are still a few key issues that have not been resolved. This time I came to you because I want you to help study it."
Just as Xu You had just guessed, Wu Jing had indeed come to him to discuss the matter of aerospace fighters.
"Well, that's no problem. I came back early mainly for this project. Mom, please tell me the specific progress and problems you encountered."
As she spoke, Wu Jing turned on the computer and told Xu You about the progress of the project and some difficult problems currently encountered.
The overall progress of the aerospace fighter project is indeed good. Many technologies, including high-speed cruise technology in space, stealth technology, unmanned driving technology, precision guidance, etc., have been basically realized.
Even technologies with sci-fi elements, such as pulse particle accelerators and laser rapid-fire cannons, have been proven experimentally.
However, during further experiments, the project team discovered some unexpected problems, which caused research in certain directions to stagnate to a certain extent.
"In our later research, we found that when the complex shape of the aerospace fighter is in certain complex environments, some special flow phenomena may occur. For example, various chemical reactions, plasma flow, force, heat, light, electromagnetic multi-field coupling, etc. These special flow phenomena may cause the life of the aerospace fighter to decrease, and even seriously threaten the safety of the aerospace fighter..."
Unlike ordinary spacecraft, aerospace fighters have to perform more military functions, which makes their design much more difficult than that of ordinary spacecraft.
In order to face various space crises that may arise in the future, this kind of space weapon must be studied. Its future strategic significance is even more important than that of aircraft carriers.
After listening to Wu Jing's story, Xu You basically understood where these problems lay.
"It sounds like a lot of problems, but in fact, it also shows a big problem. As long as the overall structure of the aerospace fighter can be optimized to integrate ultra-lightweight, high-strength, and functional structures, all problems can be solved."
"Yes, it can be understood in this way, but there are too many problems involved. We also tried to solve these problems from various angles, but in the end we found that the effect was not very good."
This feeling is like a person, some parts of which look good when viewed individually, but look very inferior when put together.
To be honest, we still haven't taken all the factors into consideration and cannot solve the problem fundamentally.
"I understand. Let me think about it carefully and see if I can come up with a good solution. If possible, I'd better go to the scene to take a look."
"Of course that's no problem. If you have time now, I can take you there right now."
Judging from Wu Jing's appearance, she should have been prepared for this. Xu You also thought this was better.
Being able to watch the aerospace fighter under research on site will definitely be of great help to Xu You in familiarizing himself with the corresponding technology.
Xu You knew that in order to solve this problem, he must use simulation technology, and by understanding the details, he could better improve the accuracy of the simulation.
"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and I'll go with you in a bit."
"Call Lin Shi as well. This kid is pretty good. Although he's still a little behind you, he's still one of the best among the younger generation."
