Chapter 152 Amazing Thermal Control Performance
With the completion of the thermal balance test verification, the results of the transient test still needed to be analyzed and calculated, and it would take some time to come out. Even Chen Jianfang couldn't help but feel anxious about this.

Can't wait to see the final test results.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long, and soon an engineer came over with documents.

"Professor Chen, the results of the satellite's thermal balance test are out."

"How's the performance?" Chen Jianfang asked casually, and took the document and started reading it without waiting for the other party to answer.

At the same time, the engineer was also busy, reporting the results of the test with joy on his face.

“During this thermal balance test, the performance of the satellite’s thermal control system was about three times better than the last time.”

The original thermal control system barely met the requirements, but the new thermal control solution now has a three-fold performance improvement. With this level of thermal control system, the satellite will not have any problems even if it experiences more than two lunar eclipses during its in-orbit operation.

Chen Jianfang didn't react when he heard the engineer's report. It was only when he saw the numbers on the report that his face was instantly filled with joy.

"Great."

“The trial performance far exceeded expectations and the program was very successful.”

He shouted a few words excitedly, then thought of something and hurriedly handed the report to Xu Yuan and said:

"Look, this thermal control solution is much stronger than before."

"But it's all thanks to you."

Although Xu Yuan had guessed the result long ago, he still reached out to take the report and took a look at it.

With a shy smile on his face, he said modestly: "I just put forward some of my own ideas. The successful completion of the plan is inseparable from everyone." This is considered to be the truth.

"It would have been impossible without you giving me the right direction. Anyway, the lunar exploration satellite project is now almost certain to succeed. All we have to do next is wait until the window period for assembling and launching the satellite." Chen Jianfang said with a smile, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to launch the Chang'e-1 satellite immediately.

Xu Yuan did not take the report in his hands at this time, but handed it to Gao Duo and other researchers.

After reading the above test results and instantaneous test data, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

"The thermal control performance is indeed three times that of the original solution. Now that our satellite is in lunar orbit, we no longer have to worry about temperature differences and the environment during a lunar eclipse."

"This data is so shocking, it's really unexpected."

"I heard that you, Xiao Xu, are a student of Professor Xu Chongxing. It turns out that it's not just mathematics that Professor Xu is impressed by."

"It is a great fortune that we can find Xiao Xu to help our project."

"Who says it's not true? If Xiao Xu hadn't completed the orbit design and optimized the thermal control design, it would probably have taken a long time for Chang'e-1 to successfully launch into orbit."

"It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be a suitable window this year, otherwise it would have been possible to launch in the second half of the year."

Chen Jianfang listened to everyone's words and liked Xu Yuan more and more.

The next second, he suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Yuan, "Xiao Xu, come to my house for lunch at noon. I will cook for you and show you my cooking skills."

"Professor Chen, can you cook?" Xu Yuan asked subconsciously after hearing this.

"of course."

"There's nothing to do in the hospital after the experiment today, so come back with me early." Chen Jianfang made the arrangements directly.

After hearing this, Xu Yuan felt too embarrassed to refuse.

After all, it was the chief designer who cooked for him, and he had to be taken away from the institute early after get off work, so it seemed that he had no choice but to agree to this option.

His thoughts stayed here, and Xu Yuan had no choice but to continue answering.

"Then excuse me."

Gao Duo, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, you're in for a treat today as Professor Chen is willing to cook for you." He gave a relatively high evaluation of Chen Jianfang's proposal.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan was also quite surprised.

I originally couldn't refuse Chen Jianfang's invitation, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.

After all, in most people's perception, such a big chief designer should not be able to cook, let alone cook food that everyone can accept.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt more excited.

Xiao Xinbin, who was standing behind, didn't know what to say after seeing this scene.

Although the two are not much different in age, the achievements they have achieved are so different that it can be said that there is a world of difference between them.

Speaking of which, he was able to be admitted to the Space Technology Research Institute, stayed on after graduating with a doctorate, and even had the opportunity to participate in projects such as the lunar exploration project. It can be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, he can be called an elite genius.

But compared with Xu Yuan, this genius instantly felt ashamed.

All I can say is that there are gaps between geniuses.

"Sure enough, this is a true genius. I wonder how far Junior Brother Xu can grow in the future."

Looking at Xu Yuan's back, I sighed in my heart, let out a sigh, and felt that I had become much more open-minded.

-

In the morning, just as Chen Jianfang said, after leaving the hospital, he drove home with Xu Yuan. The smile on his face never disappeared while they were chatting on the way.

It can be seen that Chen Jianfang is indeed very happy today.

The place where Chen Jianfang lived in Yenching was not too far from the Institute of Space Technology and was a house allocated to professors by the institute.

We soon arrived at the destination and followed Chen Jianfang upstairs and opened the door. The first thing we saw was a lady in her forties.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan hurriedly greeted her and respectfully called her "Master's Wife".

"Hello, Master's wife." Su Meihong had heard Chen Jianfang talk about Xu Yuan a lot during this period. She had never seen her husband praise a student like that. In addition, her daughter had also mentioned Xu Yuan's name before. Now that she finally met him in person, she was naturally very enthusiastic.

"You must be Xiao Yuan, sit down quickly, I'll go get you a glass of water."

"Don't bother, Master's wife."

"Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite." Chen Jianfang interrupted Xu Yuan and asked him to sit still.

Soon after Su Meihong handed the water to Xu Yuan, she suddenly remembered something and shouted to the inner room.

"Xiao Ran, come out quickly, your Qinghua's classmates are here."

Chen Yuran is now a graduate student and will officially begin her graduate studies after the summer vacation. She heard Su Meihong's call in her room and walked to the living room two minutes later.

I was still wondering who Qinghua’s classmate was.

However, after seeing Xu Yuan sitting on the sofa in the living room, his brain suddenly stopped working.

Subconsciously, I called out: "Xu Yuan."

She naturally knew that Chen Jianfang had a good impression of Xu Yuan during her summer vacation at home, and she felt very happy every time she heard it.

Thinking of finding a time to bring Xu Yuan home.

But what no one expected was that Chen Jianfang actually called someone home first.

As a result, she stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do.

Xu Yuan was indeed surprised that Chen Yuran was actually Professor Chen's daughter.

But when I thought about the relationship between Chen Yuran's family and Liao Fangyi, I felt relieved.

It turns out that Liao Fangyi and Chen Jianfang were classmates.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yuran, with a slightly playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You are all young people, and you are from the same school. If you sit down and chat slowly, you will definitely find common topics. Leave the kitchen to me and your wife." Chen Jianfang did not notice his daughter's behavior. He smiled and said something before putting on an apron and walking into the kitchen.

Chen Yuran was stunned for more than ten seconds before she walked to the sofa and sat down next to Xu Yuan.

Then he explained very embarrassedly: "I was planning to find a suitable opportunity to talk about this..."

Xu Yuan naturally knew Chen Yuran's character, so he grabbed her hand without waiting for her to finish her words, and leaned close to her to speak.

"So does that mean I'm meeting the parents today?"

Chen Yuran was startled by Xu Yuan's actions, and quickly looked towards the kitchen door with a guilty conscience.

But he didn't pull his hand back.

Of course Xu Yuan couldn't just sit there and wait for dinner, so he went to the kitchen to help out.

After all, I grew up in the countryside, and although I can’t say I’m very good at cooking, I do know a lot.

……

After tasting the lunch himself at the table, Xu Yuan had to admit that what Professor Gao said was indeed correct.

Professor Chen’s cooking skills are truly amazing.

"Professor Chen, I didn't expect the food you cook tastes so good."

He praised from the bottom of his heart and then picked up another piece of pork ribs and put it into the bowl.

Chen Jianfang also enjoyed it when he heard it. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I was young, I liked to think about it and play around. Now I basically have no time."

After finishing the meal quickly, Chen Jianfang called Xu Yuan to the living room to drink tea, during which he suddenly asked a question with a serious expression.

"Xiao Xu."

"What do you think about the development of my aerospace career?"

After saying this, he seemed to be worried that Xu Yuan was too reserved, so he added a sentence.

"It's just the two of us, just chatting."

Although Xu Yuan didn't know Chen Jianfang's plan, he still expressed his vision after organizing his words a little.

"We should build our own space station and gradually launch lunar rovers to explore the moon, until we complete manned lunar landings and build a lunar base, thus realizing the Chinese people's dream of flying to the moon for thousands of years."

After Chen Jianfang listened to Xu Yuan's words, his expression suddenly became serious and he fell into deep thought.

It seems that he is thinking about these exciting and desirable scenes.

Xu Yuanze did not bother about this. If the country's space industry wants to develop better, it can only rely on itself. It is simply not feasible to rely on international support and help.

Xu Yuan didn't know what effect his words would have. After leaving Professor Chen's house in the afternoon, he went straight back to the office of the Department of Mathematics at Qinghua University.

At present, the Chang'e-1 project no longer needs his help, and only needs to wait for the right window for assembly and launch.

Next month is the mathematicians' conference which is held every four years. He has been invited and will give a one-hour report at the conference.

Therefore, the content of the report needs to be determined.

He is very much looking forward to the International Congress of Mathematicians, a feast for mathematicians.

Moreover, in addition to announcing the winners of the Fields Medal, the conference also presents several other highly prestigious awards, and each conference attracts global attention.
