Dozens of minutes later, Thomas came back. Gao Jin and Richard did not have an in-depth conversation. They knew in their hearts that there would be no results if they did not talk about this kind of thing several times.
After chatting for a while, the two left. Gao Jin had already made an appointment with Richard. After the traditional Chinese New Year, he would personally go to Eagle Country to inspect the Birmingham Institute of Advanced Materials.
Richard understood what Gao Jin meant and nodded without saying anything else.
After seeing the two of them off, Gao Jin and his party took a car to the airport and took Gao Jin's special plane to fly to Xiangjiang City.
There were only two days left before the Spring Festival. Gao Jin and Joanna rested for a day after arriving home. The next day, they met with Gao Yuanming and his family and went to the ancestral graves to pay homage to their ancestors.
The family reunion during the Spring Festival made Joanna's sadness dilute a lot. Just like in previous years, Gao Jin, Gao Yishan and Gao Yihai took their children and started visiting New Year's greetings everywhere.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Gao Jin made a phone call to Heideshier, who left Germany and flew to Eagle Country.
Gao Jin did not rush back to work at the morning market, but took care of his family in Xiangjiang. After the Lantern Festival, Jane came back from vacation and Sonia began to take vacation.
On this day, when Gao Jin was walking in the garden with Joanna Zhou Zongyan, Jane came over and handed the phone to Gao Jin "Qiao Yuanshan's phone number."
Gao Jin made an apologetic gesture to the three of them and walked aside with the phone in hand. Jane walked over and continued walking with the two of them. The three of them always had endless things to talk about together.
"Boss, the first set of enterprise-level space stations ordered by relevant departments has been assembled and can be delivered at any time. Do you think a better time will be delivered?" Qiao Yuanshan asked Gao Jin for his opinion.
The delivery of an enterprise-class space station is not that simple. It requires the cooperation of Xingling Group to launch rockets. Projects that originally required the cooperation of SpaceX have been taken away by relevant departments.
I am worried about what small parts SpaceX will install inside the rocket. Although the cost will increase a lot, compared with safety, this cost is nothing.
"Contact them, tell me the time, and I will return to work at the morning market soon."
"How's the second set going?" Gao Jin said this calmly.
"The second set has also started to be assembled and is expected to be delivered in June. We now have a mature assembly team and the assembly speed has been greatly improved." Qiao Yuanshan said this proudly.
The current staff of the space company has reached 2,000, half of which are research and development personnel of various project teams, more than 300 are logistics personnel, and the remaining 800 or so are assembly personnel.
These assemblers have senior technician qualification certificates from China and other countries. No factory in the world simply has so many senior technicians. There is no doubt about their strength.
"Has our space station reinforcement work been completed?" Gao Jin asked another question.
"Boss, the reinforcement work has been completed, the small rocket thrusters have been installed, and the experimental equipment has been installed."
"We launched two rockets at the beginning of the month, one to transport supplies and one to transport experimental items. Space experiments have now been carried out, and more than a dozen experiments are in progress every day."
Qiao Yuanshan reported the current progress of the space group truthfully. The progress is very fast. Although some space projects have just been carried out, there are already gains on the island of Dorenado.
"Okay, follow the plan," Gao Jin said with great comfort.
Starting from this year, the space program of the Protoss Spirit Group will be on the fast track. It will have its own space station to conduct various technology verification tests. The space technology in the hands of the Prostoles Group will advance by leaps and bounds.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jin walked towards the direction where Jane and the others were.
The next day, Gao Jin, Zhou Zongyan, Joanna, Gao Gan, and Gao Yu took Gao Jin's special plane to New Zealand. It was time for the two children to enter school.
Gao Jin and the other two stayed in New Zealand before returning to Xiangjiang City. They stayed in Xiangjiang City for one day and flew to the mainland with Gao Yuande and Gao Yuanming the next day.
Gao Jin and Joanna got off the plane at the morning market, and Zhou Zongyan, Gao Yuande, and Gao Yuanming continued to fly to the imperial capital.
Gao Jin took a day off at home and after going to work the next day, when he was about to get off work in the afternoon, he saw a big news.
Musk's SpaceX company announced that it will launch a modified space shuttle and four base modules in two days.
This space shuttle has vertical take-off and landing capabilities and uses nuclear energy. If all goes well, Monica Colin, the first person to land on Mars, will drive this space shuttle back to Earth.
Accompanying the space shuttle to Mars are the Belllanders. They have been training as astronauts for a year and a half, and their physical fitness is very good in all aspects.
The four base modules carry enough resources for two people to survive on Mars for eighteen months.
PS: Inside the space shuttle, there is also a small all-terrain vehicle, which is very helpful for the Bellanders to carry out their activities on Mars.
Gao Jin frowned when he saw the news. He could already feel Musk's determination. SpaceX was accelerating its pace of landing on Mars.
Being able to transform the power of the space shuttle into nuclear energy shows that SpaceX has made a breakthrough in the application of nuclear energy.
Time waits not for us!
That's how Gao Jin was feeling at the moment.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and started dialing. Soon, the call came through. "Mr. Gao, what's the matter?" Zhang Hongbin's voice came out.
"Brother Zhang, tell me the truth, what is the pass rate for my application for nuclear energy research and development?" Gao Jin asked straight to the point.
After hearing this, Zhang Hongbin narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "From my point of view, the passing rate is zero. However, you can ask Lao Wei and he can give you a definite answer!".
The two have different statuses. Wei Mingyang has a much higher status than Zhang Hongbin and has a good relationship with Gao Jin. Asking Wei Mingyang is the best choice.
"I understand" Gao Jin said and hung up the phone.
Picking up the phone, he called up Wei Mingyang's number and dialed it. Soon, the call was connected. "Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Uncle Wei, it's a little urgent," Gao Jin said immediately.
Wei Mingyang is eleven years younger than Gao Yuande, so Gao Jin will not suffer any disadvantage if he calls him Uncle Wei.
Hearing Gao Jin's words, a smile appeared on Wei Mingyang's face. Uncle Du shouted, something must be wrong. He smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Uncle Wei, what are the chances that my application for nuclear energy research and development will be approved?" Gao Jin asked straight to the point.
Wei Mingyang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Zero, private enterprises cannot carry out nuclear energy research and development at this stage."
This matter was specifically discussed at the meeting a few days ago, and everyone unanimously agreed that now is not the time to allow private companies to enter the nuclear energy field. No matter which private company applies, it will not be approved.
"If I get approval abroad, will it have a big impact?" Gao Jin asked another question.
"Domestic private enterprises are not allowed to engage in nuclear energy research and development in the country without approval!" Wei Mingyang said, without saying anything else. Gao Jin immediately understood what Wei Mingyang meant.
The two chatted for a few words and then ended the call. Wei Mingyang put down the phone and shook his head. It was clear why Gao Jin called to inquire about this matter.
The Xingling Group definitely has the ability to develop nuclear energy, but unfortunately, there are many opponents, especially the Apocalypse Group, who are extremely opposed by various departments.
They knew very well why these people opposed Wei Mingyang. Unfortunately, some things were not decided by Wei Mingyang.
One night passed.
The next day, the domestic media frantically reported on SpaceX. Anyone who was interested could see that once SpaceX's plan was successful.
Monica Colin successfully returned to Earth!
SpaceX's Mars plan will become bigger and bigger until SpaceX builds a small base on Mars.
Many people stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, looking towards the direction of Risao Market, wondering how Xingling Group would respond to this situation.
The interstellar spacecraft project led by relevant departments has given up on many people. If you look at the list of shortlisted companies, you will know what this plan is for.
It's called the Interstellar Vehicle Project, and it's essentially a disguised form of subsidy to those related companies. Each of the shortlisted companies is not simple, and they all have the shadow of state-owned assets behind them.
The Dream Group controlled by Manmen Zhongliang and Kou Jingwei was shortlisted, but Weiwei Group was not, which already explains the problem.
Time passed day by day, and a week later, Gao Jin took Jian on a special plane to the space company's base. Tomorrow was the day the rocket was launched.
The space company has delivered the first set of enterprise-class space stations. The spare parts that need to be launched by a certain rocket group have been transported and the rocket has been set up and is waiting to be launched.
After resting all night, Gao Jin went to the control center at nine o'clock the next morning to watch the rocket launch.
At 9:15, two rockets were launched from the space base. Not long after, the Rocket Group also launched two rockets.
The two rockets disintegrated after entering space, and two sets of metal cabinets began to move closer to the rockets.
Time passed by, one rocket after another took off, and the goal on the first day was successfully achieved.
The next day, the Rocket Group launched four rockets in sequence, sending four arc-shaped pipes into space. The astronauts once again came out of the warehouse to start assembly.
These astronauts are all members of the Xingling Group. After the assembly is completed, a rocket will send a group of astronauts up. They will familiarize the astronauts with them and return to Earth on the rocket.
Rockets were also launched on the island of Dorenado, and more than half of the enterprise-class space station was delivered, and the rest is to assemble solar panels.
Gao Jin stayed at the space base for two days, had a serious talk with Qiao Yuanshan and Situ Pingfan, and then left on a special plane.
Instead of returning to Rizao Market, he headed to the Imperial Capital. Joanna also arrived at the Imperial Capital. Gao Jin's plan was to accompany his family for a few days and then go abroad to discuss matters with the Nuclear Research Institute in Eagle Country.
Hyde Hill has registered the Nuclear Energy Research Institute in London and completed the relevant procedures.
All that remains is the nuclear energy research and development license from the relevant department. With this license, the Nuclear Energy Research Institute can carry out nuclear energy research and development openly.
After spending a day in the imperial capital, Zhou Chuanfu asked him to go fishing together the next day.
Sitting by the fish pond, smoking and laughing, Zhou Chuanfu suddenly said, "I heard that you plan to apply for a nuclear energy research and development license."
"Uncle Zhou, I have applied three times and have been rejected. I don't plan to apply again." Gao Jin said this calmly.
"Ajin, if you want to get the approval, you need to let state-owned assets invest, or cooperate with a research institute affiliated to a certain ministry."
"Without state-owned capital investment, this approval document would not have been given to you!" Zhou Chuanfu said this meaningfully as he looked at Gao Jinda.
Gao Jin smiled, looked at Zhou Chuanfu and said, "Uncle Zhou, you are lobbying for that great god."
Zhou Chuanfu is a businessman, and what he cares about is doing business, making money and enjoying life. There must be something wrong with him today when he goes fishing. Now let’s talk about the nuclear energy research and development license.
Needless to say, someone took action against Zhou Chuanfu.
"Someone said, I don't think it's okay for you to open an opening. After all, this matter is good for the country." Zhou Chuanfu looked at Gao Jin and said these words.
"I can't invest tens of billions to make wedding dresses for others. I have given up on this project. Uncle Zhou can tell them clearly." Gao Jin said this with a smile.
