The next morning, Chen Xin took Qiao Ting away from the villa and headed to Mogadishu Airport.

The current Mogadishu Airport is not only the largest air force base in Somalia and the largest high-tech machining center under the War Husbandry Bureau, but also temporarily serves as a part-time Somalia civil aviation port.

But this is not a big deal. Anyway, the only ones that are truly allowed to enter Somalia are the Chinese flights. The two weekly flights operated by China International Airlines are fully able to meet the entry and exit needs of Chinese people.

However, for future development, the Somalian government has opened a brand new civil airport in southern Mogadishu.

The security of the base is still tight. In addition to an Air Force Air Force Support Brigade stationed, there is also a mechanized infantry regiment nearby that has just been replaced and is responsible for guarding the safety of the base.

Chen Xin drove an off-road vehicle into the base, and kept sending out all the way. It took about ten minutes before they arrived in front of a newly built building.

This building is located at the end of the runway, facing the airport terminal and command tower.

On the left is the hangar of the Dream Space shuttle, guarded by robots, and on the right is also a large building similar to a factory building that has been built soon, where large 3D laser printers, high-precision cutting lathes, lithography machines, packaging assembly lines and other precision equipment are being installed.

Chen Xin took Qiao Ting into the building. There were already many people wearing white uniforms busy carrying various equipment. The chest of the system is a symbol of the solar system. They were all staff sent by Chen Xin from the China Company of Star Ring Group.

Chen Xin and Qiao Ting came to the conference room on the sixth floor. A white man and a yellow man had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Ting was stunned and screamed in surprise at the yellow man: "Senior Brother Wu, why are you here too?"

Senior Brother Wu’s real name is Wu Gang. He has been a member of the two academies in his forties in his ranks. He has made great achievements in human-computer interaction, sensible robots and other fields.

The reason why Qiao Ting called him senior brother is that Wu Gang studied under Mr. Qiao, and he studied for a doctorate under Grandpa Qiao Ting.

Wu Gang was obviously not surprised by Qiao Ting's appearance. He held his glasses and said microphone: "Xiao Qiao, you are here. Mr. Qiao had asked me to bring you a message and ask you when you will take your boyfriend back."

Qiao Ting's pretty face turned red, she gave Chen Xin a blank look, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, just laugh at me, be careful that I will complain to my sister-in-law."

Wu Gang looked at Chen Xin with a smile and said, "It's not bad, it's a handsome man!"

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wu, I didn't expect you to know Xiao Qiao, so I won't introduce you more. Xiao Qiao. This is Mr. Vickers, general manager of Star Ring Group."

Chen Xin pointed to the white man next to Wu Gang and said.

"Hello, Mr. Vickers!"

Qiao Ting smiled on her face and stepped forward to shake hands with Vix. Of course, Vix did not dare to neglect the future boss lady, and smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Qiao!"

Today, Vicks not only controls a large company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, but also deals with senior government leaders all year round. He has gradually gained the demeanor of a superior, but he still maintains a hint of humility in front of Qiao Ting.

This time he came to Mogadishu, in addition to escorting the materials sent from the Longshoushan underground base, he was responsible for the establishment of the joint laboratory of China and War and Humiliation.

When Chen Xin met with various countries before, he had already agreed to establish a joint scientific research institution.

Although this scientific research institution has not yet been scribbled, the first scientific research project to cooperate with China has entered the implementation stage.

This is the individual combat armor project that countries are currently investing heavily in developing.

The emergence of the "Little Butterfly" armor is undoubtedly a great stimulus for various countries.

After all, this kind of armor poses a serious threat to the personal safety of heads of various countries, which is too terrible.

However, this has successfully aroused the interest of various countries. Basically, countries with a little bit of industrial foundation are investing heavily in the development of future individual combat armor.

At present, the most advanced one is undoubtedly the American light tactical armor, but in addition to being expensive, this armor has many shortcomings. The biggest problem is how to provide enough power for this armor.

The individual tactical armor equipped by the US District 51 guards can only last for half a day in high-intensity combat, which is why the United States has not promoted it in special forces.

The emergence of Jinlong battery undoubtedly solved this problem.

The code name of Chinese individual tactical armor is "Xing Tian". The project leader is Wu Gang. After cooperating with Zhanhu Bureau to develop, Chen Xin was preparing to let Qiao Ting participate in the project.

Qiao Ting had long been envious of Chen Xin's "Little Butterfly" armor. Now that she learned about the specific content of this project, her eyes suddenly lit up and she agreed with a smile.

Then, the four of them talked about the topic of research group construction in the conference room for a while. Chen Xin handed over the rough draft of the tactical armor designed by the steel horn to Wu Gang for future reference.

At this moment, Chen Xin's cell phone suddenly rang.

Chen Xin was slightly stunned. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was actually called by the Great Elder.

In order to facilitate communication with each other, Chen Xin has opened a hotline with the Chinese and Russian leaders, and can make a call at any time if you feel it is necessary.

Chen Xin was a little surprised. What did the elder call here to do at this time?

He made a sorry gesture to Wu Gang and the others, left the conference room, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, elder, hello, it's me, Chen Xin!"

The Great Elder said a few words on the other end of the phone.

"What?!"

Chen Xin's face changed immediately.

"Okay, elder, you can arrange for him to come on a Chinese plane first. I will communicate with President Medvedev immediately. The Russian representatives should also be there at that time. Well, okay, keep in touch, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, then called the Russian President's hotline. The two sides exchanged a few words and then hung up again.

Chen Xin returned to the conference room and waved to Qiao Ting. Qiao Ting came out of the conference room and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xin said: "The new US Secretary of Defense Kerry is coming to Mogadishu. I want to make some preparations, and I will leave it to you. I won't go home for dinner tonight. You tell Vivi and Xiaoyue not to wait!"

Qiao Ting nodded obediently and said, "Well, be careful in everything!"

Chen Xin greeted Wu Gang and Vickers again, then left the experimental building and walked towards the hangar on the left.

The Dream plane was quietly parked in the hangar, with various materials piled up next to it.

As if he had discovered Chen Xin's arrival, Gangling rose from the side of the Dream and said, "Lao Dou, you are here!"

During this period, Steel Leaf has been staying in the hangar and renovating the "Dream" space plane.

Since he has decided to land on the moon, Chen Xin will certainly not meet the needs of "Dream" to only meet the needs of landing on the moon. He wants to convert "Dream" into an interplanetary spacecraft that can fly freely in the solar system and land freely.

Among them, soft landing systems are the top priority.

When Dream was a low-Earth orbit vehicle, it needed to take off or land. It was wing lift.

However, there is no atmosphere on the moon, and planets like Mars with thin atmosphere are also not suitable for Dreamland landing, so engines used for soft landing have become the top priority.

But this also brings another problem.

Now Dream uses a solid hydroxide fuel engine. Of course, its thrust is strong enough, but in space flight, how to obtain fuel is the biggest problem.

Once a soft landing engine is installed, the fuel used for the main engine may not be enough, and if the fuel tank is expanded, it means that the mass of the aircraft itself increases. In this way, the thrust of the soft landing engine also needs to be increased and fuel consumption will also increase.

It's like a dead knot, and the chemical fuel engine currently used by Dream alone can't be untied.

So Ganglin thought of electric pushing.

The electric push mentioned here is not much the same as the electric push engines currently used by various countries on satellites.

Currently, the major aerospace powers use ionic thrust devices, which also require fuel consumption. However, this fuel consumes much less than chemical fuel.

However, the electric pushing device proposed by Steel is a working fluid-free engine with a little science fiction color.

The principle of this engine is very simple. Its main body is a trapezoidal resonant cavity. When the engine starts to work, a beam of high-energy microwaves will be emitted inside the engine. This beam of high-energy microwaves will reflect back and forth in the trapezoidal resonant cavity. A potential difference will soon form, and the engine relies on this potential difference to generate thrust.

When Steeler explained the principle of this engine to Chen Xin, Chen Xin almost became stupid.

Later he learned that the principle of this engine was not thought out of thin air. The Western Technology University in China designed a similar device for argumentation, and even relevant papers can be found online. (If you are interested, you can search for the working fluid-free engine on the Internet. Nasa once proposed an working fluid-free engine, but the other party used the pairs of positive and negative particle that appeared in the energy fluctuation in the vacuum to extract these pairs of positive and negative particle, and then used an electric field to accelerate and eject, and then provided thrust like the ion engine mentioned earlier. This idea is essentially no different from the propulsion of light pressure. As for the design of the Western Technology University, it is a product of broad minds, and it will not be discussed in this book)

However, compared with the gadget in the laboratory with a thrust of only a few hundred millimeters, the products made by Steel are much more high-end, with a single thrust of an incredible 7,800 crores. If the two-unit is installed, it can provide thrust of 30,000 crores for the "Dream".

Such thrust obviously cannot meet the capacity of Dreams, which weighs more than 200 tons, take off from the ground, but in space, it can accelerate Dreams to one percent of the speed of light in about a year.

Therefore, in addition to installing a working fluid-free engine, Dreamland's soft landing system is still composed of solid hydroxide fuel engines.
