Chapter 735

Liquid oxygen kerosene engine in the workshop.

Gu Lu stepped in and walked in.

In the workshop.

The workers were so busy working that they didn't even notice Gu Lu's arrival.

However, there was a middle-aged man in work clothes who immediately greeted Gu Lu with a smile after he came in.

This middle-aged man is the workshop director in charge of the liquid oxygen kerosene engine.

The director’s surname is Nie.

Director Nie came to Gu Lu with a smile on his face and said politely, "Professor Gu, are you here to inspect again?"

Director Nie still had fresh memories of Gu Lu, a guy who was obviously more than twenty years younger than himself, but whose position was one level higher than his own.

So when Gu Lu first came in, Director Nie recognized Gu Lu.

Faced with Director Nie's obviously polite words, Gu Lu certainly couldn't go on and said, "I can't say inspection, I'm just here for a stroll."

Director Nie glanced behind Gu Lu and said softly, "Hey, Xiao Zhang didn't come with Professor Gu today, so I'll have someone show Professor Gu around here again."

Gu Lu waved his hand and thanked Director Nie for his kindness, "Director Nie, there is no need to bother others. I can just stroll around by myself."

Director Nie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the cubicle not far away, "Then I will go back to work?"

"Hey, Director Nie, wait a minute." Gu Lu stopped Director Nie and then asked, "I want to ask where the failed liquid oxygen and kerosene engines you designed before were thrown. I want

have a look."

Director Nie pointed in one direction, "Hey, did you see that warehouse over there? We have piled all the failed and defective products after research and development into that warehouse."

With that said, Director Nie took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Gu Lu.

"Professor Gu, this is the key to the warehouse. Keep it."

Director Nie is not worried about Gu Lu causing trouble.

Because all the warehouses are defective products and waste materials after research and development, they are basically of no value.

It can be said that it is equivalent to a pile of scrap metal.

As long as Gu Lu doesn't take them out and sell them, he can do whatever he wants.

Director Nie was very indifferent.

…………

Director Nie went back to his cubicle to continue working.

Gu Lu took the key and came to the abandoned warehouse.

Open the door.

The scene inside the warehouse appeared in front of Gu Lu.

The warehouse is huge.

It's almost a thousand square meters.

Now, within this one thousand square meters area, almost half of the area is filled with failed liquid oxygen and kerosene engines.

Do a rough count.

There are about four to five hundred units.

The cost of a liquid oxygen kerosene engine is at least several hundred thousand dollars.

No wonder some people say that rockets burn not fuel, but money!

This is absolutely correct.

In three years, hundreds of engines were scrapped.

However, there is still a long way to go before the new liquid oxygen kerosene engine can be successfully developed.

If it weren't for the Chinese heritage behind it, which invests hundreds of millions in scientific research funds at all costs every year, this project would have been abandoned long ago.

at the same time.

This also proves one thing.

That is, the development of launch vehicles is only a patent of the superpowers.

For an average small country.

There simply isn't that much money to invest in this far-fetched project.

…………

Inside the scrap warehouse.

Gu Lu walked around Nuo Da's warehouse, then collected the parts and materials he needed and stacked them all at the door.

Gu Lu has been busy with this work all morning.

after all.

A liquid oxygen kerosene engine is really too big.

Even if Gu Lu only needs a certain part of it, it still has a mass of tens of kilograms.

Come down in the morning.

Gu Lu was panting from exhaustion.

But fortunately.

The parts and materials needed by Gu Lu are already complete.

Get out of the warehouse.

Gu Lu called a forklift worker to help and asked him to use a forklift to transport these parts to the workshop.

Then Gu Lu asked someone to find an idle workstation in a corner of the liquid oxygen kerosene engine workshop and unload all the parts and materials.

Because Director Bi had greeted the employees inside the base in advance.

So no one refused Gu Lu's small request, and everything went smoothly.

"Professor Gu, is there anything else you need our help with?" A dark-skinned worker grinned his white teeth and said to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu thought for a few seconds, "Please help me get a cutting machine, a welding machine, and a hydraulic thrust system. Also, get me some gadgets like screwdrivers."

The things Gu Lu wanted were very common in the workshop.

The worker quickly took his place and Gu Lu put together a set.

after.

Gu Luyou went to Director Nie's office and asked for dozens of kilograms of liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel.

So far.

Gu Lu’s preliminary preparations have been completed.

All materials and equipment are available.

Next.

That's when work officially started.

…………

afternoon.

After a simple lunch, Gu Lu changed into ordinary work clothes, put on a safety helmet, and went to the corner of the workshop.

Gu Lu first took out a stack of drawings from his pocket.

These drawings.

These are the structural plans for several sets of liquid oxygen and kerosene engines designed by Gu Lu yesterday.

But this is just an idea.

Is it truly appropriate?

You still need to really get started and try it.

That's why Gu Lu came here today.

Gu Lu didn't just start working with the machine as soon as he came up.

Gu Lu has always disapproved of such reckless behavior.

Before actually starting to build a liquid oxygen kerosene engine, Gu Lu first had to make sure that the design was reasonable.

This required Gu Lu to make a very small engine model.

This process is quite complicated.
