Costs and benefits!

Although the principle of rockets is very simple, making a safe and reliable rocket is not a simple matter.

China's rocket launch success rate is only over 93%, but it is at a world-class level.

In fact, a rocket is a complex mechanical body composed of millions of parts. Assuming that one percent of them malfunction will cause the launch to fail, there are tens of thousands of parts that may malfunction during launch, so every time

There will be several failures during launch, resulting in launch failure...

According to Murphy's Law: If there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

Therefore, despite decades of development, cases of rocket launch failures are still common.

The national strength of a great country can withstand this "inevitable" failure.

But small countries are different. The cost of rocket development and manufacturing will be astronomical, and they cannot afford this kind of gambling game.

Moreover, the current "benefits" of space rockets are not good. Although humans have entered the space age and have launched many detectors to surrounding planets, most of them are scientific research and exploration activities and cannot immediately bring any practical value.

.

There are even fewer privately launched rockets in the world.

The most famous one is SpaceX, a space exploration technology company from country M. Its unique "rocket recycling" technology has greatly reduced launch costs. Even so, the founder of SpaceX has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

Fortunately, NCSA, the space exploration giant behind him, provided a lot of technical and financial support at the critical moment.

So when Li Mo, the head of the Mozi Science and Technology Experiment, proposed that the laboratory's next project would be to enter the rocket launch industry, the scientific elite working there thought they had heard it wrong.

"Ahem!"

"If you have any ideas, you can put them forward."

Although Li Mo knew that this project was difficult, he did not expect that there would be a cold start.

Fortunately, Jingjing, an old employee, was the first to raise her hand.

"You are worthy of being a veteran who followed me in all the wars in the north and south!"

Li Mo felt happy.

"Jingjing, if you have any ideas, tell us and let everyone listen."

"Boss, my synthesis of polypeptides with high chemical bonds is at a critical moment, so I won't participate in this rocket project."

"I know nothing about rockets."

"Do you think it's okay?"

After saying that, she showed a pitiful expression.

"No!" Li Mo refused without hesitation. He would never allow any member of the laboratory to become a deserter.

"The rocket project is the primary project of our laboratory. Other scientific research plans must give way to this project." He looked around sternly. Rocket manufacturing is a complex project that cannot be completed by just a few or a dozen people.

Yes, the entire laboratory must work together to have any hope of success.

The person in charge must ensure sufficient authority.

At this time, Zhou Jie from the Space Laboratory raised her hand. As one of the few female supervisors in the laboratory, she had left a deep impression on Li Mo during the interview.

"Ms. Zhou, please speak."

"I have a college classmate who may be helpful to your project." Zhou Jie tidied her short hair with her hands.

"classmate?"

"Yes, but the situation may be a bit complicated. Is it private..." She looked at the people doing it with her eyes.

Li Mo waved his hand.

"It's okay, just say it directly."

"Everyone here is the elite of our Mozi science and technology experiment. If one day, they have different intentions and turn their backs on me, it will only mean that I, the leader, am not qualified."

The reason why Li Mo has this confidence is that these supervisors have gone through the subconscious detection of artificial intelligence Xiaohua, and there is absolutely no problem with their character.

Sure enough, some managers who had suffered "humiliation" in foreign laboratories had twinkles in their eyes. This was the kind of treatment they had not received abroad.

"It's like this. This classmate of mine is an expert in rocketry. He entered NCSA directly after graduating from his Ph.D. After more than ten years of hard work, he became an expert in the field of rocket design. He was once responsible for NCSA's heavy-load rocket SLS.

The overall design." Seeing the boss's attitude, Zhou Jie felt no psychological burden.

"However, three months ago, just as he was about to complete the design draft of the latest SLS, he suddenly received a notice from NCSA's senior management that he was unilaterally terminated from the contract. Subsequently, his office and residence were raided by the police.

Towards the sky."

"Anything that could record data was taken away, even the pictures drawn by children on papyrus."

"From now on, he can only stay in his residence all day long. Even so, his wife will be followed by plainclothes police when she sends her children to kindergarten."

"He was puzzled and lodged a protest with NCSA. He didn't understand what mistake he had made."

"After more than a month, NCSA finally gave the reason. He is suspected of leaking secrets."

As these words were spoken, the scientists in the conference room who had returned from abroad all showed expressions of astonishment. This situation is too common in foreign research institutes.

Man is a creature of desire, and wherever there are people, there will be intrigue.

Perhaps in the eyes of Chinese people, foreign scientists all have high moral standards.

In fact, scientific research results and personal ethics are completely two different things. Otherwise, when the scientific giant Newton competed with Leibniz for the right to discover calculus, he would not have used all the efforts of the UK to play dirty tricks. Plagiarism becomes original.

, since ancient times, apart from Mr. Newton, there is no second person.

The same goes for foreign scientific research institutes. Scientists born in China are often known for their diligence and intelligence. When they work hard and achieve certain results in research, it is inevitable that some foreign scientists will be jealous.

At this time, the best excuse appears, that is "leaking secrets"!

Neighbors are suspicious. Faced with the rapid rise of China, country M is very worried. It is naturally wary of scientists from China. Under this kind of thinking, some normal behaviors are often magnified infinitely by the local police.

It is naturally difficult for scientists who have been wrongly accused to clear themselves of suspicion.

"This Rockets classmate of yours has not joined the nationality of Country M, right?" Li Mo asked the first question after listening.

"No, some colleagues initially persuaded him that becoming a citizen of Country M would be beneficial to his future career development, but he refused."

"Because the reason why he joined NCSA was for scientific exploration. When he gets older, he will eventually return to his roots."

"Also, his wife and child are also Chinese nationals. Although the child was born in a hospital in country m, he immediately made a request to the Chinese embassy to register for Chinese household registration."
