You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 217 We are a team~
"Could this be the real reason?"

Director Tan Kaihua listened to Zhao Mo's affirmative answer and asked himself.

There are many reasons for this kind of crack. It may be caused by the explosion, rather than inherent. It is difficult to simply distinguish and must be demonstrated before the final determination can be made.

"Old Tan, is this the reason?"

A strange voice sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and realized that many other people had arrived at the scene.

Zhao Mo glanced at the person who spoke. He was relatively unfamiliar and he didn't recognize him.

At this time, Tan Kaihua spoke after hearing the question. He immediately said: "It's not certain yet, but we can check this batch of turbine disks~"

With that said, he arranged the investigation.

Then, he introduced Zhao Mo and the visitors.

Only then did Zhao Mo know that the person coming was Li Dong, the chief designer of the Long March [-] rocket.

"Hello, Professor Zhao~"

Li Dong glanced at Zhao Mo in surprise, then shook hands with him enthusiastically and said, "I've heard about you a long time ago. I just met you in person today. I didn't expect Professor Zhao to also be very knowledgeable about rocket engines~"

It was dark, so it was hard to see people’s faces clearly.

He had actually been here for a while, but he saw that everyone present was very attentive, so he kept silent.When he heard what Zhao Mo said, he thought he was a member of Tan Kaihua's team. He thought that this person should be pretty strong, bold and careful, and spoke loudly. Without strength, he would not be so confident.

I never expected that this person turned out to be Wudaokou Professor Zhao Mo!

He has never met Zhao Mo, but he has heard of Zhao Mo's fame. Whether it is the ABC conjecture or the discovery of the Higgs particle, they are both achievements that shocked the world, but they were all completed by a teenager like Zhao Mo. From this, my impression of Zhao Mo is "genius" and "magic".

Looking at it now, Zhao Mo is indeed a "magical genius professor" and is actually familiar with rocket engines.

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "General Manager Li is too polite~"

Li Dong nodded and asked, "Professor Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Mo knew what he wanted to ask and was not vague. He answered directly: "Come and learn how to build a rocket engine with Director Tan."

"Really? It's really great!"

Li Dong was surprised again, and then said happily: "I believe that with Professor Zhao joining us, our aerospace industry will usher in better and faster development~"

He thought to himself: "It seems that I have been studying with Lao Tan's team for a while~"

Zhao Mo coughed and smiled sheepishly: "I don't dare to take what Mr. Li said seriously. I don't have that much influence yet. I still need to learn more from you, Director Tan and Mr. Li~"

After the greetings, everyone except Zhao Mo resumed the work at hand. They also had to investigate other possible problems.

Only then did Zhao Mo come back to his senses and take a look at his body. He found that there were itching sensations on his hands, feet, face, and neck. In some places, the itching sensation was mixed with burning sensation. The sting.

"It's so poisonous~"

Zhao Mo frowned slightly, knowing that it would take a week for these stinging areas to heal. These were all caused by the bites of mosquitoes that possess toxins.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already 02:30 in the morning. A full four hours had passed since 10:30 when they arrived here!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a three-hour dedicated field research work. You will be rewarded with 1000 attribute points and a mysterious prize. Please confirm whether to claim it?"

“I won’t collect it for the time being~”

Zhao Mo made a negative choice and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that there would be a reward for changing positions all night?"

Then he looked at the system evaluation.

Finish?

It seemed that his judgment just now was correct. The explosion was indeed caused by a crack in the turbine disk.

Focus for three hours?
The total time was four hours, but here it was said that it was only three hours. Zhao Mo became thoughtful as he recalled the irritability he felt when he was first bitten by mosquitoes.

It seems that the system's judgment started from the time he ignored the mosquito bites.

1000 attribute points, plus a mysterious prize, is quite generous!
About 5 minutes later, a "sizzling" noise came from the intercom, and then a breathless voice came out: "Director Tan, the turbine disk row~The inspection is completed, all the turbine disks of the same batch are They all have cracks of varying degrees~”

"..."

When the voice came out, everyone at the scene fell silent, and then all looked at Zhao Mo, who was patting away mosquito bites, with a more or less shocked look on his face.

"It seems that this is really the problem~"

Tan Kaihua suddenly looked at Zhao Mo with admiration and thought: "It's really amazing!"

The Bureau of Science and Industry arranged for Zhao Mo to join their team with the clear intention of hoping that the "magical" Professor Zhao could once again show his magic in the development of rocket engines.He wanted to understand this at the time, but after he wanted to understand it, he didn't have even the slightest hope for it because it was unrealistic.

Rocket engines are applied science and are two different things from pure theory.

Although it is said that theory guides practice, the difference between the two is often very different. Understanding the theory may not necessarily lead to practice.

It's like building an atomic bomb. The theory is there, but how many people and countries can build it?
Zhao Mo's persistence and punctuality during this period allowed him to see Zhao Mo's strengths. He is a person with strong control and strong willpower.

Looking at it now, Zhao Mo is not only strong in these two aspects, Zhao Mo is also really amazing. With the "magic", he was the first to determine the real cause of the engine explosion in front of so many professionals, and he was very confident! "Check all the details again!"

The thoughts flashed through his mind, and Tan Kaihua said loudly.

Although there was a [-] to [-] percent chance that the problem was with the turbine disk, he decided to investigate again.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and continued working.

Zhao Mo was startled, and then he knew why this decision was made, so he also joined the investigation.

Two and a half hours later, the time came to five o'clock in the morning, and the distant horizon was already slightly brighter. Only then did everyone finish the second round of investigation work, and then gathered the team back under Tan Kaihua's arrangement.

Everyone had fatigue on their faces, but unlike when they came, everyone was obviously much more relaxed this time.

After the second investigation, they found no other possibilities.

Everyone knows what this result means. This means that Zhao Mo's judgment that "turbine disk crack" is basically determined to be the real cause of the explosion!
"Thank you!"

On the way back with Director Tan and Chief Engineer Li, Director Tan suddenly said thank you to Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo was startled and quickly waved his hand and said: "Director Tan, you're welcome, we are a team~"

Tan Kaihua took a few deep breaths, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, we are a team."

Then he said to Li Dong: "Old Li, I didn't trust Professor Zhao before, but now I do. Professor Zhao has only been studying in our institute for a week, and he already knows a lot about the various problems of rocket engines. So what you just said is absolutely correct. Professor Zhao’s participation in the research and development of rocket engines will indeed enable our aerospace industry to develop better and faster.”

Li Dong: "..."

One week?Lao Tan, are you kidding me?

What can I learn in a week?
For ordinary people, learning any general major is just getting started, and learning to build rocket engines is probably not even done yet.

Even if he is a genius, he is probably just getting started.

It is almost impossible to troubleshoot problems without a year and a half.

Now Tan Kaihua said that Zhao Mo only studied for a week, which completely subverted his knowledge.

He looked at Zhao Mo in disbelief and said, "Professor Zhao, it would be a waste if you didn't come to engage in aerospace. You should have come earlier~"

He was really surprised.

Just now I thought it was Tan Kaihua's team who had taken Zhao Mo for a while, but now it seems that is not the case at all.

Zhao Mo coughed and changed the subject: "Actually, I have been studying aerospace knowledge since I entered Wudaokou, and I am indeed very interested in this area."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, both Li Dong and Tan Kaihua were speechless.

Do you think we believe it or not?

Who doesn’t know that you have been studying mathematics, materials and physics since you entered Wudaokou? Otherwise, how would you have achieved outstanding results in these fields?You have studied aerospace knowledge for a long time. Who do you think you are fooling?
However, he refused to admit it, and it was hard for the two of them to say anything else, so they talked about another topic.

Li Dong asked: "Professor Zhao, which direction do you think our rocket engine will develop in the future? Kerosene or hydrogen and oxygen?"

Before Zhao Mo could answer, a smile appeared on Tan Kaihua's always serious face. He teased Li Dong: "If your teacher knew that you were not determined to choose the hydrogen-oxygen solution, would you be expelled from the school?"

"Bullshit~"

Li Dong rolled his eyes at him and explained to Zhao Mo: "My teacher is Academician Long. He strongly advocates the hydrogen-oxygen solution, but he does not reject other solutions. As long as the solution is effective and reliable, there will be no problem."

"Understand~"

Zhao Mo smiled and nodded, and then said: "I personally think it is better to use methane. It is rich in resources. There is a lot of methane not only on the earth, but also in outer space. In addition, it is clean, hygienic, non-coking, and easy to clean. , can be recycled multiple times.”

"Methane?"

Li Dong and Tan Kaihua both cried out in surprise. Apparently they didn't expect that he had chosen a solution other than kerosene and hydrogen and oxygen, and they had abandoned it.

Zhao Mo nodded and said, "Yes, methane."

Tan Kaihua frowned and said: "The thrust and price of methane are not as good as kerosene, and its environmental protection and specific impulse are not as good as hydrogen and oxygen. Damao and America have given up, and we have tried it."

"That's it~"

Zhao Mo first nodded to confirm his statement, then changed the subject and said: "But from another perspective, methane is better than kerosene in terms of environmental protection and specific impulse; in terms of thrust, price, storage conditions, etc., methane is better than kerosene. It is hydrogen-oxygen, so its advantages are very strong. And as far as I know, America has not given up on the methane solution. The rocket engine being developed by the Space Exploration Technology Company supported by NASA uses methane."

Tan Kaihua was suddenly surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Li Dong was also a little surprised. The paths taken by each country were kept secret in the early stages of research and development. Who expected Zhao Mo to know about it?
He hesitated and said, "But we don't have much experience in this area~"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, there will be a road~"
