Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 585 Meng Congtao's On-Site Difficulty? He Retorts with the Ion Beam Power Formula! Xu Yun's Eyes Completely Change!

Hu Jiangshan smiled faintly: "What I'm doing now is indeed related to aerospace. I'm running a space launch site."

"A space launch site? Oh, that's really in the aerospace industry. By the way, has it already been used for rocket launches?"

"Yes, we recently conducted a satellite launch, which was very successful. Everyone is welcome to come and visit."

The host naturally offered a few words of praise.

The others looked at each other, finally understanding why they had called Hu Jiangshan over—he was the operator of a space launch site.

"That's strange. Why would they invite people from the launch site to such a high-level technical exchange meeting?"

"Yeah, they probably aren't even eligible to participate, right?"

"It might be because of the launch site on Hong Kong Island that they came here to broaden their horizons and experience the academic atmosphere."

"I'm saying, have you forgotten? What did Mr. Hu say just now? He hit the nail on the head! Tell me yourselves, can you do it?"

"That's right, Mr. Hu's sharing was indeed very good, which shows that he has a lot of valuable knowledge."

"It can only be said that he has a lot of diverse aerospace knowledge, but he may not be an expert in any particular area."

"Alright, stop being stubborn. If you were to go up and speak, you wouldn't be as good as him."

Meanwhile, Hu Jiangshan had already stepped down from the stage.

At this moment, Xu Yun took the opportunity to glance at Hu Jiangshan a few times, feeling that this handsome man from Hong Kong Island did indeed have a unique charm, and was quite different from the young people in the research institute.

With a calm and composed demeanor, Hu Jiangshan possesses a maturity beyond his years.

Hu Jiangshan is really eloquent. He speaks in an orderly and logical manner, and he does so entirely without a script.

According to Xu Yun's observation, Hu Jiangshan probably didn't prepare in advance and just improvised when he went on stage, delivering such a long speech that was almost like a formal address.

His eloquence is truly exceptional; few present could match it, including the experts and bigwigs.

And then there are the Koreans, who speak incoherently, making it impossible for even the simultaneous interpreters to understand what they're trying to say.

At this moment, Park Ji-yong and the other Koreans looked somewhat uncomfortable.

Clearly, Hu Jiangshan performed exceptionally well, far surpassing all of them; it was a true case of overwhelming them.

However, they were thick-skinned and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

One of the assistants said to Park Ji-yong, "Professor Park, this Chinese man must have made preparations in advance."

Park Ji-yong snorted coldly: "Of course. If the Chinese aren't prepared, they can't say a word. These arrogant guys think they can fool us and steal our thunder. What a bunch of naive guys."

"You're right, Professor Park, we can't come here again. We've given them too much face!"

Park Ji-yong waved his hand: "It's not that bad. We should still come. As long as we receive an invitation, we will come even if we don't want to. We have such outstanding scientists and engineers, the best minds in the world. They are all walking knowledge bases. We can share with them so that they don't fall too far behind."

Upon hearing this, the other South Korean youths were so moved that they almost burst into tears.

"Professor Park, you're absolutely right!"

"We've learned a lot!"

"I misspoke just now. I was too petty. I need to reflect on my actions!"

"Professor Park is right! We should contribute to the world's space program, even if the recipient is Chinese."

"Professor Park, should we go up on stage again later and say a few words to them? Let them understand how capable Professor Park is?"

Park Ji-yong said calmly, "We'll talk about it later. There's no rush. This meeting will last for two days. We have plenty of time to show our strength."

The others nodded in unison, as if they had made some kind of decision, with an attitude of being ready to fight to the death.

Those around them, seeing the Koreans' strange behavior, looked at each other, completely bewildered.

I don't know what they were muttering about. One minute they were crying, the next they were laughing, and then they were excitedly waving their fists, like crazy people. It felt like a group of troublemakers were plotting how to harm people.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan's performance made some young people who were eager to try hesitate, worried that if they went on stage to share, they would not be as good as Hu Jiangshan and would be outshone by him.

You have to understand that Hu Jiangshan is seen as an outsider by others, a non-professional. If even he can't beat Hu Jiangshan, wouldn't that be like losing face in public?
For example, Meng Congtao had prepared in advance, memorized his speech, and planned to show his abilities to Xu Yun and win her favor.

As a result, when Hu Jiangshan stood on the stage and stirred things up, he not only didn't embarrass himself, but actually gained some prestige.

Meng Congtao felt that his draft was not well prepared and lacked persuasiveness. Not only would it fail to achieve its intended effect, it might also make people look down on him.

So Meng Congtao didn't dare to go up.

Of course, some bolder and more confident young people also went up to share their ideas, including Xu Yun.

Xu Yun is a truly talented and outstanding engineer, whose abilities are no less than Fang Xiaoya's; otherwise, she wouldn't be known as the "Goddess of Beidou."

Of course, they don't study the same field, and their areas of expertise are different.

Xu Yun shared on stage how to use radio waves of various bands to detect the shape of asteroids, determine their most vulnerable parts, and then impact them or install explosives.

This could potentially alter the asteroid's trajectory, or even break it into pieces.

The danger of a fragmented asteroid would be greatly reduced, and it would be consumed even if it entered the atmosphere.

Xu Yun's sharing was quite specific and involved technical aspects, with theory and logic, rather than empty talk, which was truly refreshing.

The bigwigs nodded in agreement, and also expressed their appreciation for Xu Yun's abilities.

She truly deserves the title of "Goddess of the Big Dipper"; she's not just a pretty face, she's genuinely capable.

The people from South Korea were quite astonished that a beautiful woman like Xu Yun could speak such profound technical knowledge.

Xu Yun is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable, capable, and confident.

In South Korea, you rarely see women like this, or they don't even exist at all.

The young Koreans stared at Xu Yun with infatuation, wishing they could take her back and devour her completely.

Those little thoughts couldn't be hidden; his eyes were full of madness.

Of course, these young Koreans wouldn't dare do that in China, not even if you beat them to death. They'd just talk the talk.

After the meeting, Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui said goodbye to Zhao Ruijing and then left the venue.

The aerospace technology exchange meeting lasted two days and was quite relaxed. After today's meeting, there was nothing else to do, and I could do whatever I wanted. It was like a vacation.

Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui went to the hotel's coffee shop and chatted while drinking coffee.

At this moment, Xu Yun, Meng Congtao, and several young colleagues also entered the coffee shop. When they saw Hu Jiangshan, they all paid him a few more glances.

After all, Hu Jiangshan's presentation at the meeting was quite well-organized and impressive, at least to a so-called layman.

They were sitting quite close to Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui.

Hu Jiangshan also saw them, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded to Xu Yun as a greeting.

Meng Congtao also noticed that Xu Yun would occasionally glance at Hu Jiangshan.

This made Meng Congtao envious, jealous, and resentful. That guy surnamed Hu was really an eyesore; even his coffee didn't taste good anymore.

No, Meng Congtao can't let things continue like this. Xu Yun might actually fall for that rich guy from Hong Kong.

Keep in mind that the other party not only has some technical knowledge, but also has money.

Meng Congtao had to admit that this was what was called being talented and rich, almost invincible in every way.

Of course, Meng Congtao still doesn't believe that Hu Jiangshan really has any talent, let alone that he really understands aerospace technology.

Zhao Ruijing's words were probably just polite talk. Perhaps Professor Zhao has some personal relationship with the Hu family in Hong Kong and needs to be mindful of his image.

It is said that Professor Zhao Ruijing is selfless and always handles official business strictly, but Zhao Ruijing is also human and cannot be completely devoid of human emotions. There are some things that must be done.

As for Hu Jiangshan's sharing on stage today, it's estimated that he prepared in advance, memorized the script, and then deliberately put on a performance.

It's worth noting that wealthy people in Hong Kong almost always receive public speaking training; it's practically a required course for them, the foundation of their livelihood.

They may be ignorant and incompetent, but they must be good at public speaking and have a silver tongue.

Where did Meng Congtao hear this from?

In fact, that was pretty much the case. At that time, Hong Kong Island adopted a Western-style education system, and public speaking was indeed very important.

Meng Congtao's eyes lit up, and a feeling of inspiration struck him; he felt he could give it a try.

Meng Congtao greeted Hu Jiangshan: "Hi, hello Mr. Hu, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Meng Congtao, frowned slightly, and then immediately relaxed.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan felt quite uncomfortable seeing Meng Congtao; he felt it was very unlucky.

After all, Hu Jiangshan had a serious feud with Meng Congtao in his previous life.

At that time, Hu Jiangshan hated Meng Congtao so much that he gritted his teeth and wished he could tear him to pieces.

Although he had lived two lives, that feeling still lingered, and he still felt a strong aversion to Meng Congtao.

This shows that Meng Congtao is really bad, so bad that he made someone like Hu Jiangshan physically uncomfortable. That's something else.

However, Hu Jiangshan cannot show his emotions now, otherwise it would be too strange. The events of his previous life have not yet occurred in this life, so how can he hate or confront someone for no reason?

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan is rather introverted and would never do such a thing.

Hu Jiangshan nodded gently on the surface: "Hello, it can't be called a coincidence. We're all staying at the same hotel, so it's normal to run into each other."

"That's right, that's normal. We can talk about it together then?"

Hu Jiangshan paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's...let's talk about some technical issues. I thought what you shared on stage was excellent, so I'd like to discuss it further with you, is that alright?"

Xu Yun glanced at Meng Congtao. She was a very smart girl and of course knew what Meng Congtao was up to.

Anyway, Meng Congtao is the kind of person who can't come up with anything good; he must be trying to embarrass Hu Jiangshan in public.

Meng Congtao was really persistent and tried every means to drag the other party down with him.

To be honest, if this kind of drive were applied to scientific research, any project would be much more efficient and likely to succeed.

Unfortunately, Meng Congtao was always half-hearted in his research work and did not devote himself to it wholeheartedly. He always focused his attention on trivial matters or interpersonal relationships.

This is actually not a wise approach for researchers, as it makes it difficult to achieve outstanding results.

Now, Xu Yun is wondering whether she should stop Meng Congtao and prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Hu Jiangshan is, after all, a guest from Hong Kong Island and an acquaintance of Professor Zhao Ruijing; we shouldn't let things get awkward.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jiangshan nodded and said, "No problem. What do you want to discuss? I'm worried that my professional skills aren't enough to answer your questions."

"No, no, it's not a profound question. I'm very interested in what you just mentioned about ion beams, and I'd like to discuss this further with you."

According to Meng Congtao's understanding, Hu Jiangshan at most only knew the term "ion beam" and some basic theoretical knowledge.

If the discussion were to delve deeper, Hu Jiangshan would surely be exposed, revealing his ignorance and naivety. Therefore, if Hu Jiangshan were smart enough, he would definitely not agree.

Of course, a playboy like Hu Jiangshan loves to show off, and he might actually fall for it.

Hu Jiangshan nodded again: "Sure, no problem."

Xu Yun was equally surprised and glanced at Hu Jiangshan a few more times.

Hu Jiangshan seemed to be serious, not just putting on a brave face.

Does Hu Jiangshan really understand the topic of ion beams?

Meng Congtao asked, "Mr. Hu, could you explain what conditions you think are necessary to use an ion beam to change the trajectory of an asteroid?"

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of coffee, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, there is no fixed answer to the so-called conditions for the time being."

"Huh? There's no fixed answer, which means you don't know?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "You didn't understand what I meant. The application theory of ion beams is indeed not mature yet, but the basic idea should be clear. To change the trajectory of an asteroid, we must first consider its speed, density, and properties. Only when these conditions are known can we determine the power of the ion beam. Moreover, the position where the ion beam contacts the asteroid is also important. Xu Yun's analysis just now was very important in this regard."

"...Ah, me?"

"Yes, what you just shared was about using radio waves of various bands to determine the structure and shape of asteroids. That's a good method, and it can also be combined with the application of ion beams to obtain more accurate data."

Meng Congtao chuckled: "After all that talk, you still can't determine the power of the ion beam."

"We can only try again. However, I can give you a formula for ion beams. It's not very accurate, but it can be used as a reference."

Xu Yun's eyes widened, and her gaze towards Hu Jiangshan changed.

He actually has the formula for ion beam power? How is that possible!
