Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 555 A key component malfunctions, and Boss Hu makes a great contribution.

Meanwhile, inside the rocket assembly and maintenance plant, Fang Xiaoya hung up the phone, a thoughtful expression on her face.

After finishing the call, Fang Xiaoya looked around and said to Liu Chao, "Mr. Liu, Boss Hu wants us to come over. He said he found some problems with the test data results. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Liu Chao had noticed the situation earlier, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Liu Chao asked, "Mr. Hu discovered a data problem? What problem?"

Fang Xiaoya shook her head: "Boss Hu didn't specify what the problem was, but judging from his tone, it must be a very important matter."

Liu Chao laughed: "Very important? How important could it be?"

Fang Xiaoya didn't want to say much: "President Liu, if you don't have time to go over, I'll go first. If you have time later, you can go over and listen."

Liu Chao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, I don't have any urgent work to do right now. I'll go with you now, just in case there are any problems that need to be dealt with promptly."

That being said, Liu Chao didn't think Hu Jiangshan could discover any real problems. Most likely, it was just some trivial matter, or Hu Jiangshan had misunderstood the data and wanted Fang Xiaoya and the others to come and take a look.

But since it's not far away, I feel at ease going to take a look.

Fang Xiaoya and Liu Chao told the other members to handle the rest.

The two walked toward Hu Jiangshan's office, chatting as they went.

Liu Chao said with a smile, "I didn't expect Boss Hu to actually be able to understand the data and spot the problems. I really underestimated him."

Fang Xiaoya glanced at Liu Chao. He clearly didn't think he had underestimated Boss Hu; he was just being playful and making conversation.

Fang Xiaoya said, "President Liu, Boss Hu can definitely understand the data, and his understanding may be deeper than we imagine. We really shouldn't underestimate him."

Liu Chao quickly said, "Yes, what Engineer Fang said is right. Boss Hu is indeed capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pull off such a large operation. Needless to say, the amount of capital involved is huge, and the effort invested is also considerable. Ordinary people really can't do this kind of work."

Fang Xiaoya remained noncommittal. She didn't have much to say to Liu Chao; she let him say whatever he wanted.

At this point, Liu Chao changed the subject: "But speaking of which, Engineer Fang, do you think this rocket launch will be successful?"

Fang Xiaoya said, "Although space launches cannot guarantee 100% success, we must ensure a success rate of over 90%, otherwise we should not attempt it lightly."

"That's right. Even if we fail once, the losses will be huge. It's best to avoid it altogether."

The financial loss from a failed rocket launch is secondary; the major issue is the significant loss of confidence, which severely impacts the entire team and can easily affect subsequent research and development efforts.

Developing aerospace equipment is no easy task, which is why most countries cannot undertake such projects.

There are only a handful of countries on the entire planet that can independently develop a space industry.

A moment later, Fang Xiaoya and Liu Chao arrived at the door of Hu Jiangshan's office.

Fang Xiaoya knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

The two opened the door and went inside, only to find that Wu Na and the FBC interview team were also in the office, and they were filming.

Wu Na was very shrewd. She quickly got up and explained to Fang Xiaoya and Liu Chao that she wanted to film the real working atmosphere and that she would hand over the filmed materials to both parties for review afterward, so there was no need to worry about leaking sensitive information.

Fang Xiaoya remained noncommittal.

Liu Chao didn't say anything. Wu Na had been filming for the past few days, and everyone had gotten used to it.

Moreover, Liu Chao did not think that his conversation with Boss Hu would reveal any key information.

Liu Chao asked, "Mr. Hu, have you discovered any problems? Or is there some data you don't understand and want us to help you understand it?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and replied, "There is a data anomaly here. I don't know if you've noticed it."

"……what?"

Fang Xiaoya and Liu Chao exchanged a glance, their expressions incredulous.

Liu Chao couldn't help but say, "The values ​​are abnormal, are there? We didn't notice them just now."

Although Fang Xiaoya didn't say anything, she agreed with Liu Chao in her heart. At that time, all the members of their team had seen the test results and found no abnormal values. They were all within the normal range.

The technical team sent by Starry Sky Glory consists of experienced veterans and top-notch aerospace experts; they would never fail to notice any anomalies.

"Wait a mininute."

As Hu Jiangshan spoke, he operated the touchpad, presumably to open a file containing the test data.

Liu Chao asked, "Mr. Hu, is it possible that you haven't understood clearly, or that you've misread it?"

Hu Jiangshan said, "General Manager Liu, Engineer Fang, come and take a look. I'll point out the problem to you."

Fang Xiaoya and Liu Chao walked behind Hu Jiangshan and focused their attention on the computer screen.

Hu Jiangshan scrolled to the bottom of the data and said, "Look, it's here. There's a problem with this value."

Liu Chao was taken aback: "This is fuel delivery control data. What's wrong? Isn't it within the normal range? There's nothing wrong with it."

Compared to Liu Chao, Fang Xiaoya frowned slightly as she looked at the data, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Hu Jiangshan shook his head and said, "It does seem fine and within a safe range, but to determine whether this data is normal or not, we need to look at another set of values, here..."

"The function parameters in these two lines should be linked, right?"

Liu Chao nodded: "Yes, these two parameters are indeed related. You mean..."

"The values ​​above generally appear to be small, so this value should also be relatively small. But as you can see, the values ​​below are very large, which is obviously abnormal and illogical. This must indicate that there is a problem."

Fang Xiaoya's expression changed: "Mr. Hu, do you mean there might be a problem with the solenoid valve on the fuel delivery pipe?"

"Yes, no matter what kind of device it is, there must be a problem, either mechanical fatigue or the controller is malfunctioning."

Liu Chao was somewhat bewildered: "The solenoid valve is malfunctioning? Is that even possible?"

Fang Xiaoya suddenly had a look of realization: "It really is possible! Mr. Liu, was the solenoid valve on the fuel pipeline installed without a thorough inspection? I remember we didn't check the components at the time, so it's definitely possible that there's a problem!"

Liu Chao also remembered and said, "That solenoid valve shouldn't have a big problem. Its structure is so simple, how bad could it be? How could it possibly malfunction?"

Fang Xiaoya shook her head: "Don't be careless. Any part could have a problem. It's best to figure it out."

Liu Chao nodded with a serious expression. The matter was of great importance, and he dared not make any overly definitive statements.

"Okay, I'll go take a look and do a full inspection of the solenoid valves on the fuel pipeline."

After saying that, Liu Chao left in a hurry.

Despite the banter and the slightest underestimation of Hu Jiangshan's abilities, if the other party's question has even the slightest possibility, even a one percent chance, it still needs to be re-examined. Better safe than sorry.

If something goes wrong and affects the final result of the rocket launch, it will be too late to regret it, and we will suffer a huge loss.

No one would joke about this, not even the usually confident Liu Chao.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoya also lost her composure and said to Hu Jiangshan, "Mr. Hu, I'll go take a look too. Thank you for providing us with such an important clue."

Hu Jiangshan said, "It's nothing, it's my job. Otherwise, why would you send me the data? If there really is a problem, just resolve it as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Xiaoya was truly grateful to Hu Jiangshan. If what he said was true, it would be a great help and could definitely prevent a significant crisis.

Although it is just a small electromagnetic field, it is a key component that controls the fuel system.

If a problem occurs, it could affect the rocket's fuel supply. Even a slight impact could affect the rocket's flight attitude, which would greatly reduce the success rate of the launch.

This is no joke!
Fang Xiaoya left in a hurry.

Wu Na stood up and quickly said, "Mr. Hu, let's go take a look too, so we won't disturb your rest."

Hu Jiangshan responded and watched Wu Na's slender figure as they left.

Wu Na and her team left the office and hurried to the rocket assembly and maintenance plant.

This is a fantastic opportunity; we might actually be able to capture the process of the Starry Sky Glory team discovering and resolving a major problem. This would be excellent footage!

These materials do not involve classified information, and presumably Star Glory and Tenglong Island Space Launch Site will not object to their release. Wu Na is confident in this regard.

More importantly, this is a problem that Mr. Hu Jiangshan discovered.

If this really comes true, it will be incredibly newsworthy!

As mentioned earlier, Wu Na excels at uncovering newsworthy events and is extremely sensitive to them.

This time is no different. Hu Jiangshan is young and handsome, with an extremely good personal image, which makes him very easy to attract attention and gain popularity.

At the same time, Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief. He told Fang Xiaoya about the problem he had discovered, which could be considered as doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.

Hu Jiangshan still had confidence in Fang Xiaoya, as he knew her temperament and abilities very well from his previous life.

Fang Xiaoya is the kind of person who is so meticulous that it's terrifying. Even if there's the slightest possibility of something going wrong, she will do her best to verify it, test it repeatedly, and then avoid any risks.

Hu Jiangshan is also confident that the problem he discovered is real, but whether this problem will affect the final launch result is unknown.

Based on Hu Jiangshan's experience in his previous life, there was at least a 50% chance that the rocket launch would fail.

In other words, if the faulty fuel line solenoid valve isn't replaced and remains until the rocket launch, success will depend entirely on luck, like gambling.

Thinking of this, Hu Jiangshan wiped his sweat and secretly rejoiced.

To be honest, that number is very small and easy to overlook.

If Hu Jiangshan hadn't seen it, the risk of the rocket launch would have been much greater.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan has good eyesight and a sharp mind, and he discovered the problem in time.

If the rocket launch fails, the Tenglong Island Space Launch Site will definitely suffer. Not only will the anticipated flood of orders not materialize, but it will likely become a laughing stock for the entire Hong Kong Island, the entire country, and even the entire planet.

It's possible that the Tenglong Island space launch site will be completely deserted.

Of course, even if the space launch site were to become deserted, Hu Jiangshan would not abandon it.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan was already the largest customer of the launch site, and could use it himself in the future.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door.

Hu Jiangshan said, "Please come in."

Wu Na, who has a fantastic figure, opened the door and came in with an excited expression on her face.

"What's wrong, Ms. Wu Na? What happened?"

"Mr. Hu, the technical team at Starry Sky Glory has already checked and confirmed that the problem you mentioned does exist, and it's quite significant. They are already working on a solution."

"Oh, all right."

Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed. He remained outwardly calm and took a sip of coffee to calm his nerves.

Wu Na said, "Mr. Hu, do you know what this means? It means you did a huge favor and avoided a massive risk of rocket launch failure."

Hu Jiangshan said, "This is a good thing, isn't it?"

Wu Na said excitedly, "That's really good news, Mr. Hu. So, can we discuss how you figured out that there was a problem with these data? You seem to be more knowledgeable than some aerospace experts. Are you also a technician?"

This is a difficult question to answer, but fortunately Hu Jiangshan had prepared beforehand, just in case someone asked him these kinds of irrelevant questions.

"Me? I had a private tutor who taught me some aerospace technology. I'm very interested in these things and I work very hard. It took me a few years to figure it out."

"Huh? A personal trainer? Can that level be achieved?"

"I don't have any particularly advanced abilities. I just look at the data and understand some basic concepts. As for whether it's accurate or not, that depends entirely on luck. Besides, I might have a little bit of talent, otherwise I wouldn't have entered this industry. Ms. Wu Na, you know, the aerospace industry has high barriers to entry; not just anyone can do it."

"Yes, that's right."

Looking at Hu Jiangshan's confident demeanor, Wu Na grew to admire him more and more.

Wu Na came in alone, with no outsiders around, and Hu Jiangshan sized her up a few more times.

Wu Na cleared her throat, straightened her collar, and said, "By the way, Mr. Hu, I heard there's a resort on the island, is that right?"

"Yes, it's a very high-end resort that's about to open. Would Ms. Wu Na be interested in visiting it?"

Wu Na's beautiful eyes sparkled: "Yes, I wonder if Mr. Hu could be my guide?"

"Of course, I've been too busy lately and I want to relax a bit."

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan took Wu Na away from the space launch site and took an electric car to Tenglong Island Resort.

The resort is now on the eve of its trial operation, all service staff are in place, and it will open to guests the day after tomorrow.

When Wu Na arrived at the resort, she was pleasantly surprised. She knew there was a luxury resort here, but she didn't expect it to be this extravagant.
