The next morning, Lu Zhou woke up early and went to the bathroom to freshen up. He then took the suit from "Xiao Ai" and put it on.
Today was a diplomatic event, so he was most likely going to be on CTV.
In order for his fans to see him in front of the TV, Lu Zhou spent ten minutes styling a cool hairstyle.
Lu Zhou stood in front of the mirror for a while. He saw that it was getting late, so he quickly went to the kitchen and used the microwave to make breakfast. He then sat in his black car and drove toward the aerospace industrial park on the outskirts of Jinling.
Lu Zhou sat in the back of the car and looked at the street outside the window. He suddenly remembered what Chen Yushan said to him yesterday, so he spoke.
"I plan on getting a new car?"
Wang Peng: "What car?"
Lu Zhou: "A pure electric one."
Wang Peng: "Is it safe?"
Lu Zhou: "You can check it later."
Wang Peng nodded and said, "No problem, I'll run a set of batteries for you when the new car arrives."
Lu Zhou: "… Run a set of batteries? Are you sure? "
Wang Peng looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "It's not a problem, the main thing is that the battery has a range of more than two thousand kilometers … Are you sure you want to run a set of batteries?"
Two thousand kilometers!
When Wang Peng heard this number, he nearly choked on his own saliva.
He clenched his teeth and spoke stubbornly.
"Run! It's only two thousand kilometers! "
Yeah, it's only two thousand kilometers.
It's just driving from Jinling to Beijing, then back from Beijing …
However, seeing how stubborn this guy was, Lu Zhou felt distressed.
Two thousand kilometers …
If he really finished the entire two thousand kilometers, the car would be ninety percent new, no matter how new it was …
In less than half an hour, the black car passed through the high-tech zone and headed for the newly built aerospace industrial park behind the high-tech zone.
Strictly speaking, from the division of administrative areas, this area was actually considered an industry within the high-tech zone. It was only separated on the map for the convenience of management.
Ever since the completion of the Jinling launch site, the entire Jinling aerospace industry had developed at an incredible speed. There was a trend of it becoming the Houston of the East.
From satellites to spacecraft parts, from heat sinks to aerospace batteries, from state-owned enterprises to private companies, more than 500 companies were stationed here. All the parts needed for the Magpie Bridge and the Moon Palace space station, even the space module components, could be found here.
In a sense, the reason why the Russian Ministry of Economic Development delegation set Jinling as their first stop instead of Beijing was not only because of the booming global aerospace market, but also because they wanted to learn from the rise of China's aerospace industry.
Russia had a huge aerospace industry base, but in the context of a depressed economy, this foundation was like a muscle that had lost its blood supply. It had power, but it could not be used at all.
Right now, the entire world wanted to get on China's space train. In contrast, Russia was undoubtedly the closest to this train …
Star Sky Technology building.
A black car with a red flag stopped at the entrance.
When the man standing next to the security guard saw Lu Zhou get out of the car, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.
"Academician Lu, you're finally here!" The man reached out his right hand and shook Lu Zhou's hand. The man briefly introduced himself and said, "My name is Zhong Quan, I'm the secretary of the minister's office. You can call me Xiao Zhong or Secretary Zhong."
"Lu Zhou, academician is a title, professor is a profession. Don't be so formal, just call me Professor Lu." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Has the Russian delegation arrived?"
Zhong Quan smiled and said, "They arrived early in the morning! Mr. Georgiev has been asking about you ever since he got off the plane. He kept asking if we had the chance to see you today. "
Asking about me?
That's embarrassing …
Lu Zhou remembered yesterday's sneeze, so he smiled embarrassedly and spoke.
"Really? Then don't let our guests wait too long. Take me to them. "
The secretary made a gesture of invitation and said.
"This way, please!"
Because of the foreign delegation, the aerospace industrial park was completely shut down today. However, it was even more lively than when it was shut down.
More than 20 black business cars were parked neatly in the parking lot of the Star Sky Technology building. A group of Russian diplomats in suits followed the Chinese diplomats and local officials to visit the reception hall of the Star Sky Technology building.
It was also here that Russia's Minister of Economic Development, Georgiev, finally met the person he wanted to meet the most …
"Hello, Professor Lu! I'm Georgiev. "The burly Russian man held Lu Zhou's right hand tightly and said with a hearty and warm smile," I always hear your name at meetings of the Federal Space Agency. I'm honored to finally meet you in person. "
Lu Zhou shook Mr. Georgiev's right hand and said with a humble smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Georgiev."
"Your management of the aerospace industry has left a deep impression on me. I don't know if I have the honor to visit your factory today?"
Minister Yang, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, looked at Lu Zhou and cast a questioning look. After seeing Lu Zhou nod, he immediately knew what was going on. He spoke to Minister Georgiev, who was standing next to him.
"Of course, no problem, please come with me."
Star Sky Technology's aerospace assembly center was also located in the aerospace industrial park. The entire aerospace industrial park was developed around Star Sky Technology's aerospace assembly center.
Because of Georgiev's request, the group of people didn't take a car. Instead, they walked.
Along the way, the middle-aged Russian man's eyes were glued to the buildings on both sides of the street. From time to time, there was a shocked expression in his eyes.
Without the slightest warning, he suddenly spoke emotionally. Lu Zhou, who was walking next to him, spoke.
"After seeing everything here, I finally understand why you guys were able to build a world wonder like the Moon Palace."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's not exactly a world wonder, the International Space Station is no smaller than it."
Georgiev shook his head and said, "The International Space Station is the result of the joint efforts of dozens of countries. It took more than a decade to finally complete. What's incredible is that in less than a year, you guys completed a project that would take the international community ten years to complete. If this isn't a world wonder, then there probably isn't anything that can be regarded as a monument to human civilization in the 21st century. "
Even though Lu Zhou knew that this rugged Russian man was sucking up to him, he couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mao Zi was one of the leaders of the aerospace industry. Even though he wasn't as powerful after the collapse of the Soviet Union, his inheritance was enough to support him until now.
Very few people knew that the "full-flow staged combustion cycle" technology used by the "Raptor" liquid oxygen methane engine on Space-X's BFR rocket was from the RD-270 engine of the former Soviet Union's UR-700 rocket.
Of course, even though Lu Zhou was happy, he still had to be polite.
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke humbly.
"Of course not, we're just standing on the shoulders of giants."
Ion thruster propulsion technology was reverse-engineered from the wreckage of an advanced civilization. In this sense, Lu Zhou did think so.
However, Georgiev seemed to have misunderstood the giant Lu Zhou was talking about. He thought about the glory of the former Soviet Union's aerospace industry, and he awkwardly smiled. Fortunately, Minister Yang saw through Lu Zhou's intentions, and he quickly changed the topic. Therefore, the conversation didn't become awkward because Georgiev didn't know how to respond.
Even though there was a small episode, the relationship between the two parties wasn't affected. First of all, Georgiev wasn't a stingy person. He wouldn't care about what a scholar said. Second of all, the difference in status between the two countries had changed, and he didn't have the right to care about it.
Especially when it came to aerospace.
The focus of the aerospace market was expanding from low-Earth orbit to Earth-Moon transfer orbit. If Russia wanted to find a way out for its aerospace industry, it had to get help from China.
If it wasn't because of its strength, what other reason could make a bad-tempered polar bear so docile and charming?
He was afraid that there was no other reason for it.
