00:00:05what's this homeless guy doing here i thought he was here to beg then he said he could fix our
00:00:10rocket engine problem come on you believe a crazy homeless man he's probably never even seen a
00:00:15rocket engine up close if he can fix one then i'm the head of nasa you filthy bum get out
00:00:21of here
00:00:22stop wasting our time or i'll make you leave
00:00:27i was nasa's chief rocket engineer i invented the first full-flow liquid oxygen engine in aerospace
00:00:33history but i refused to help them swap in an overpriced less safe internal system for profit
00:00:39they framed me kicked me out and put me on the industry blacklist my wife left me for another man
00:00:48i hit rock bottom then i saw the news the latest manned launch rocket of the national space
00:00:53administration has suffered a launch failure caused by an engine malfunction the equipment
00:00:58will be transported back to the manufacturer for a comprehensive overhaul i knew this was my way back
00:01:04i walked into that facility and told them i could fix i can fix it
00:01:10all i got was mockery and humiliation they didn't know i built that engine
00:01:18trust me i'm the only one who can solve your problem
00:01:24what's all this noise is the engine fixed or not we're handing it over to nasa tomorrow
00:01:28if it's not ready this company is bankrupt and none of you get paid
00:01:32jack come look this bomb claims he can fix the rocket engine
00:01:39how did you even get in here get out now i'm not a homeless man
00:01:45you think i'm stupid look at yourself do you even know what we're working on this is the most
00:01:50advanced full flow liquid oxygen engine in the world its internal design is more complex than
00:01:54the human brain i brought in eight top experts for two weeks and they couldn't fix it who do you
00:02:00think you are
00:02:03i swear to you i can fix it
00:02:09i've never met a bum with this much nerve
00:02:11fine i'll take that bet if you fix these engines before the deadline i'll give you 50% of the
00:02:16company
00:02:17what half the company that's worth hundreds of millions
00:02:20are you insane you're trusting a homeless man
00:02:22this is cutting edge aerospace equipment we're top experts and we don't dare touch it
00:02:25you're letting some clueless bum work on it if it's not ready on time you'll be sued you could
00:02:29even go to prison dad don't be rash nasa's contract has a clause if unauthorized adjustments damage the
00:02:34hardware we'll go bankrupt and end up in federal court i'm not done yet you sign a liability agreement
00:02:41first if you fail or if you damage anything all responsibility falls on you you still want to bet
00:02:50you're a failure you'll never get back on your feet you'll always be a loser who gets walked all
00:02:57over i'm in if i fail i'll take full responsibility good drop the contract now
00:03:13if i sign this will you really honor that 50% of course a bum fixing a rocket engine not
00:03:21a chance
00:03:25fine i'll sign
00:03:37he actually signed
00:03:39you're insane do you have any idea what this means if you fail you'll spend the rest of your life
00:03:44in
00:03:44prison trust me i can fix it you're an idiot this is the most advanced rocket engine in the world
00:03:51an entire team of experts couldn't fix it and you think you can do it alone
00:03:54i'll tear this contract up don't throw your life away for pride it's not about pride i said i can
00:03:59fix it and i will you my daughter tried to save you but you insist on dying fine i'll give
00:04:08you what
00:04:08you want two days that's all you get fail and you're gonna prison old man do you even know how
00:04:13many parts are in this engine do you know its basic internal structure do you even know where the
00:04:17ignition switch is you know nothing how can you fix it
00:04:29i know every single detail because i built every part of this machine with my own hands
00:04:34then watch closely i'll show you exactly how it's done
00:04:40this engine combines thermodynamics aerodynamics electronics dozens of advanced technologies even
00:04:45a specialist can't master them all you fixing it is i've already signed don't go back on your word
00:04:53if you actually pull this off i'll give you the 50 percent and i'll make you cto
00:04:57but if you're bluffing you'll regret it
00:05:02old friend i built you with my own hands
00:05:09let's shut these arrogant fools up together
00:05:13they're right this engine was developed 10 years ago by my mentor professor leo
00:05:17and his mentor professor eric together they broke through countless technical barriers in record time
00:05:22no one has been able to match them since
00:05:23the only viable solution right now is to replace the internal hardware system
00:05:27repairing it is out of the question the cost is astronomical
00:05:30the hardware system is fine there's no need for replacement
00:05:34with leo's help i verified this hardware system's reliability myself
00:05:39there's no way it's failing this badly
00:05:43professor eric you're a genius this hardware system is flawless
00:05:47it's a perfect match for the engine
00:05:49i've tested its reliability countless times and no one in aerospace history has ever achieved this
00:05:53you've created a miracle
00:05:5520 years ago
00:05:57feels like yesterday brooke keep an eye on him if he tries to run take him straight to the fbi
00:06:01for fraud
00:06:02got it boss
00:06:02listen we already asked miller's team they're the top experts they said we have to replace the whole hardware
00:06:07system don't be stupid you'll destroy your life
00:06:10i told you
00:06:11i know this engine better than anyone
00:06:14i'm the only person in the world who can bring it back to life
00:06:16this barm is insane
00:06:18he actually thinks he's the only one who can fix it
00:06:21a homeless man better than aerospace experts
00:06:25what a joke
00:06:27the shell is cold
00:06:28no residual heat
00:06:29could the cooling system be the problem
00:06:32fire it up
00:06:33what
00:06:33the internal cooling system is the problem
00:06:36firing it up is the only way to pinpoint the root cause
00:06:39ridiculous
00:06:40he thinks he can find a core failure in a rocket engine by touching it
00:06:44this guy's insane
00:06:45let him mess around
00:06:47if he ruins this multi-million dollar equipment
00:06:49jack misses the deadline
00:06:51and nasa's launch gets delayed
00:06:52that's a whole different level of trouble
00:06:54what are you doing
00:06:56igniting a faulty engine without authorization could cause a blowout
00:06:59keep the thrust low and it'll be fine
00:07:11he's touching the shell while the engine is ignited
00:07:13he's a reckless madman
00:07:19what is he doing
00:07:20that shell is scorching hot
00:07:21how can he touch it
00:07:22jack are you really going to let this circus continue
00:07:25i'm warning you
00:07:26if this keeps up that engine will be scrap metal
00:07:28then there's no going back
00:07:34i found the problem
00:07:44the internal hardware is fine
00:07:45that's nonsense
00:07:46even professor miller's team confirmed it
00:07:49the hardware is fried
00:07:50look at this
00:07:51the report clearly shows the hardware is burnt out
00:07:53the official recommendation is a full replacement
00:07:5572 million dollars
00:07:58the cooling system is failing
00:08:00heat isn't dissipating
00:08:02the sensors are giving false readings at high temperatures
00:08:04these reports are worthless
00:08:06shut up
00:08:07that diagnostic system was developed by professor miller
00:08:11and approved by industry authorities
00:08:12it's used by space agencies worldwide
00:08:15an entire team of top experts is less capable than a homeless man
00:08:19that's a joke
00:08:22i don't care who he is or what he's built
00:08:25i only believe in facts
00:08:27the cooling system is the issue
00:08:29and i can fix it with my hands
00:08:33what
00:08:37old man
00:08:38miller's team is the gold standard in aerospace
00:08:40nobody's more authoritative
00:08:42if you can't fix it
00:08:43admit defeat
00:08:45and get lost
00:08:46stop wasting everyone's time
00:08:48enough with the theories
00:08:50i want results
00:08:52you said you could fix it with your hands
00:08:54so fix it
00:08:55now
00:08:57the coolant valve bolts are loose
00:08:59when the engine ignites
00:09:01too much coolant leaks out
00:09:02dropping the shell temperature
00:09:04and simulating a hardware failure
00:09:07old man
00:09:08how could bolts on such an advanced engine come loose
00:09:11you tell me
00:09:13this engine
00:09:14uses the lightest components
00:09:16and comes with a full installation manual and professional tools
00:09:21this kind of basic error shouldn't happen
00:09:25are you questioning our professionalism?
00:09:27we followed every regulation and procedure in the manual
00:09:30then it means you weren't thorough enough
00:09:33when i install an engine i don't make these mistakes
00:09:37and i certainly don't blame the hardware without real evidence
00:09:42you
00:09:43absurd
00:09:45if the cooling system was the problem
00:09:47how could the most precise laser scanners miss it?
00:09:51that means your instruments are wrong
00:09:53save the lecture
00:09:55how do we fix it?
00:09:59first
00:10:01tighten the coolant bolts
00:10:02then adjust the ignition sequence on the computer system
00:10:05inject the cryogenic coolant
00:10:07exactly half a second before ignition
00:10:13old man
00:10:14this is advanced aerospace gear
00:10:16top experts spent two weeks on this
00:10:21and you think one bolt fixes it?
00:10:24who are you kidding?
00:10:26exactly
00:10:28stop pretending
00:10:31you can still replace the hardware if you admit defeat now
00:10:34and nobody can achieve that level of precision
00:10:38half a second?
00:10:40impossible
00:10:41if you can't calculate the timing and flow rate
00:10:44then yes, you'd fail
00:10:46but if you can hit that half second window
00:10:50the engine will run perfectly
00:10:52how does a homeless man know so much about this engine?
00:10:55jack
00:10:55don't listen to him
00:10:57he's talking nonsense
00:10:59it's a pipe dream
00:11:01no
00:11:02nobody
00:11:03can do
00:11:04what he's saying
00:11:05if it explodes
00:11:07you'll be in court
00:11:09enough
00:11:14you're absolutely certain?
00:11:17i'm certain
00:11:21i'm warning you
00:11:24if this is all just an act to buy time
00:11:27i swear you won't see tomorrow
00:11:30of course
00:11:31but first i need the physical toollet
00:11:34that came with this engine
00:11:36i have to secure the internal bolts
00:11:38before i can adjust the startup sequence
00:11:42physical toollet?
00:11:44i think i remember that from a lecture
00:11:47sensors can be unreliable
00:11:49but the human eye doesn't lie
00:11:50the tools came with the engine
00:11:52they should be locked
00:11:53in a silver sealed container
00:11:57just admit you're out of ideas
00:12:01don't make up stories about some till kit
00:12:04we're certified experts
00:12:06we've been working with this machine for weeks
00:12:09and we've never seen anything like that
00:12:11exactly
00:12:12we're in the digital age
00:12:14those old manual toolkits are obsolete
00:12:16every contractor who services rocket engines
00:12:19receives one of these kits
00:12:22they should be in your storage
00:12:24blue spare parts label on the box
00:12:28it's the last line of defense when the sensors fail
00:12:32professor
00:12:33please take someone to check
00:12:35fine
00:12:36we'll look
00:12:37let's see what tricks this beggar has left
00:12:40when we come back empty-handed
00:12:42your act is over
00:12:47how can he just touch the shell and know what's wrong
00:12:51then what are we experts even for
00:12:53right
00:12:53if a hand is better than all our instruments
00:12:57why are we here
00:13:02it actually exists
00:13:05i pay you millions
00:13:07every year
00:13:08and you don't even know what's in your own storage
00:13:12what am i paying you for
00:13:14mr jack
00:13:17in modern aerospace engineering
00:13:20these manual tools are obsolete
00:13:22everything is automated now
00:13:24who would think to use outdated equipment to fix a rocket engine
00:13:34one more time
00:13:35you promise 50% ownership if i fix this
00:13:38no going back
00:13:40i keep my word
00:13:43good
00:13:48such advanced equipment
00:13:49we're top experts and couldn't solve it in two weeks
00:13:53he touches it twice
00:13:55ignores the data
00:13:56and works blind
00:13:58is he better than professor leo and professor eric
00:14:13this is impossible
00:14:14he's manually adjusting the coolant injector ports
00:14:20without even referencing a manual
00:14:24how does he know exactly where to go
00:14:27sophia
00:14:28don't fall for it
00:14:29anyone can put on a show
00:14:31this engine has micro level precision
00:14:34one micron off and it'll tear itself apart on ignition
00:14:37this is
00:14:38the legendary repton assembly technique
00:14:41professor leo mentioned it once in a lecture
00:14:43only one person in the world mastered it
00:14:47could he be the aerospace genius professor eric himself
00:14:52no that can't be right
00:14:55professor eric wouldn't be a homeless man
00:14:56what do you mean sophia
00:14:58can he actually do this
00:15:02jack
00:15:02you're actually believing this fraud
00:15:05top experts couldn't fix this
00:15:07but a piece of iron will
00:15:11i guarantee if he starts that engine it'll blow up
00:15:15instead of watching this circus act jack
00:15:17call professor miller
00:15:19get the 72 million dollars ready for that hardware replacement
00:15:25that's your only shot at meeting the deadline
00:15:28twenty years ago
00:15:30in nasa's dark test bay
00:15:32i learned every quick of yours
00:15:35never thought i'd see you again after all this time
00:15:40don't worry old friend
00:15:42i'll get you running again
00:15:45who are you really
00:15:47how do you know this lost technique
00:16:09done
00:16:12it's ready
00:16:14the coolant layer is fixed
00:16:17we can run the ignition test
00:16:20that's it
00:16:22it's fixed
00:16:24three hours of acting
00:16:25jack don't hesitate
00:16:27fire it up
00:16:28when that engine goes up in flames
00:16:30we'll see how long this bum keeps up his act
00:16:33exactly
00:16:34fire it up and let him face the consequences
00:16:38once that engine is destroyed
00:16:39he'll be locked up for ruining
00:16:41high-precision aerospace equipment
00:16:44let's see him act tough then
00:16:49dad no
00:16:51if you got it wrong
00:16:52the combustion chamber will shatter like glass
00:16:55a multi-million dollar engine will be completely destroyed
00:16:58we can't afford that loss
00:17:00the company will be finished
00:17:02we're out of time
00:17:05if we don't test it now
00:17:06the company is dead tomorrow
00:17:09he signed the liability agreement
00:17:11these experts couldn't fix it anyway
00:17:13better to let this homeless man take the fall
00:17:20oh look
00:17:21the homeless man knows how to work the control panel
00:17:24he's really committing to the act
00:17:26so what
00:17:28it'll just expose him faster
00:17:31there's no way a homeless man
00:17:32fix the world's most advanced engine
00:17:35this thing is going to blow
00:17:36let's go in and watch him fail
00:17:41no
00:17:45three
00:17:46two
00:17:47one
00:17:55see that
00:17:56all red
00:17:57the combustion chamber is overloaded and destroyed
00:18:02you're finished
00:18:03the engine is gone
00:18:05the launch is delayed
00:18:06you'll owe billions in damages
00:18:08and face federal investigation
00:18:10jack
00:18:11you're going to prison
00:18:13with this homeless man
00:18:26oh my god
00:18:27a miracle
00:18:32the data
00:18:33it's all
00:18:34it's all green
00:18:35it's fixed
00:18:37it's actually fixed
00:18:39you're a goddamn genius
00:18:40you homeless bastard
00:18:42you see that
00:18:43you said it would be scrapped
00:18:44eight of you took two weeks
00:18:46and this homeless man did it in three hours
00:18:48he actually managed micro level adjustments with his hands alone
00:18:55what's happening
00:18:56spoke too soon
00:18:58i told you that primitive approach wouldn't work
00:19:00jack
00:19:01the engine is dead
00:19:03and you're finished
00:19:06professor miller
00:19:07look
00:19:08jack let a homeless man work on the engine
00:19:10and now it's completely destroyed
00:19:14this is outrageous
00:19:15jack
00:19:16i warned you
00:19:17this machine's internal structure is extremely complex
00:19:19any untrained person touching it could cause catastrophic damage
00:19:23all you had to do was replace the hardware system i designed
00:19:26but you let a homeless man work on it
00:19:29now it's ruined
00:19:32how are you going to explain this to nasa
00:19:34damn it
00:19:35jack held out to the very end
00:19:38and still refused to spend the 72 million dollars on my hardware
00:19:42you better have an explanation homeless man
00:19:45or i'll have you arrested right now
00:19:47i know this game all too well
00:19:49they played the exact same trick to force me out of nasa
00:19:54it's always about personal profit
00:19:56i've studied this engine extensively
00:19:59my team and i spent over a decade understanding its hardware structure
00:20:04and combustion chamber behavior under all conditions
00:20:07no ordinary person could possibly repair it
00:20:11and manual disassembly will always warp the turbine impeller
00:20:17the engine died because of hardware damage
00:20:21this engine's turbine impeller is made of titanium alloy
00:20:24with an assembly tolerance of 0.03 to 0.05 millimeters
00:20:29as long as you stay within that tolerance during manual assembly
00:20:32there's no issue
00:20:33professor miller
00:20:34you've studied this for over a decade
00:20:37surely you know that
00:20:41i of course i know that
00:20:45the screen shows bo1
00:20:47in the system's fault code library
00:20:49a means physical hardware damage
00:20:52b means programming error
00:20:54or parameter anomaly in the control system
00:20:57professor miller
00:20:58as a world-class rocket engineer
00:21:00you should know what bo1 means better than anyone here
00:21:05nonsense
00:21:05i've studied rocket engines for years
00:21:07and i've never seen that code
00:21:10you must have broken the engine yourself and made this up
00:21:12never seen it
00:21:15sophia can you get me a laptop
00:21:16i need to connect to the main console's raw data port
00:21:19what are you planning to do
00:21:21access the engine's internal programming system
00:21:25check the login logs
00:21:26see if anyone tampered with the system parameters
00:21:29who do you think you are
00:21:31entering the internal programming system
00:21:33requires the highest level access password
00:21:36that's classified information known only
00:21:38to nasa and the developers
00:21:39there's no way you know it
00:21:41you can't let him do this
00:21:44you'll have no explanation for nasa
00:21:48professor miller don't you think you're overreacting a bit
00:21:50unless you're the one who tampered with the system
00:21:53and caused the malfunction
00:21:57that's ridiculous
00:21:59jack are you insane
00:22:02you're really letting this homeless man do whatever he wants
00:22:05we need to secure the site
00:22:07assess the hardware damage
00:22:08file a malfunction report with nasa
00:22:11and replace the hardware with my system
00:22:13professor why are you so nervous
00:22:15i'm not nervous
00:22:16i'm looking out for you
00:22:18don't forget
00:22:19if you miss tomorrow's delivery
00:22:21you're finished
00:22:24physical link is connected
00:22:26what's next
00:22:26set bow rate to 7809
00:22:29eight data bits
00:22:30one stop bit
00:22:31no paradigm
00:22:34the password is
00:22:35aelike aero nine eight eight shendun zero two one one
00:22:41aelike aero nine eight eight is professor eric's nasa start date
00:22:46shendun zero two eleven is the day he completed this engine
00:22:50my mentor leo told me about it in private
00:22:52it's a password that exists in theory but has never been used
00:22:56how does he know it
00:22:58sophia what are you waiting for do it
00:23:03welcome to the agus system
00:23:05current clearance highest administrator
00:23:08he actually got in
00:23:11that's incredible
00:23:13impossible
00:23:14there's no way
00:23:15how does a homeless man
00:23:17have the highest clearance password
00:23:19pull up the system logs
00:23:21show me all parameter changes from the past week
00:23:29got it
00:23:303 p.m. the day before yesterday
00:23:32a remote encrypted port
00:23:34loggered into the server
00:23:35it bypassed front end monitoring
00:23:37and changed the core resonance frequency threshold
00:23:39the attacker changed the value from 1.2 to 1.8
00:23:42what does changing 1.2 to 1.8 do
00:23:44the change wouldn't be noticeable under normal conditions
00:23:47but once you ignite
00:23:49the system misreads it as a combustion chamber pressure overload
00:23:52it triggers the fail safe and simulates a burned out motherboard chip
00:23:56and that creates the illusion that the hardware is fried
00:23:58isn't that right professor miller
00:24:04this is slander
00:24:05outright slander
00:24:08jack
00:24:09you're going to believe some homeless man's random code over me
00:24:12i'm an honorary professor at a top university
00:24:16sophia trace the remote ip address that hacked the system
00:24:27the login came from
00:24:28mit's aerospace propulsion lab dedicated education line
00:24:36professor miller if i remember correctly you're the chief visiting professor for mit's aerospace program
00:24:41and as far as i know fewer than three people have access to that dedicated line
00:24:45so this was all you
00:24:47you wanted us to buy your hardware system
00:24:51miller
00:24:53jack
00:24:53listen to me
00:24:54it could be a hacker attack
00:24:56someone's trying to frame me
00:24:58friendy wait
00:25:01hacker
00:25:02i pay you three million dollars a year in consulting fees
00:25:06i treat you like royalty
00:25:08and you hack my system
00:25:10sabotage my engines
00:25:12then try to scam me out of 72 dollars
00:25:16jack
00:25:16it's a misunderstanding
00:25:18a complete misunderstanding
00:25:22misunderstanding my ass
00:25:25you wanted to bankrupt me
00:25:34what are you all standing around for
00:25:36get him
00:25:38beat that bastard
00:25:39as long as he's breathing i'll take the heat
00:25:45old friend
00:25:46i'm back
00:25:47don't worry
00:25:48i'll get you running again
00:25:52my apologies
00:25:54i was out of line
00:25:55please forgive me
00:25:57right now
00:25:57the priority is getting the engines back online
00:26:00yes
00:26:01yes
00:26:01you're absolutely right
00:26:09warning
00:26:09system firmware is locked
00:26:11damn it
00:26:12miller left a backup
00:26:13he activated a self-destruct lock command
00:26:15the firmware is completely sealed
00:26:17without the factory ra key
00:26:18we can't get into the main interface
00:26:20still stuck
00:26:21we're running out of time
00:26:22what do we do
00:26:24sophia go buy a toy remote control car
00:26:25sir
00:26:26are you joking
00:26:27shouldn't we be focusing on fixing this
00:26:31toy cars have an arduino nano v3 debug module inside
00:26:34i can modify it into a temporary rsa key
00:26:36that's a joke
00:26:38a toy car to fix a multi-million dollar rocket engine
00:26:41i've never heard anything so ridiculous
00:26:44exactly
00:26:45do you take us for fools
00:26:47that arduino module can't handle that kind of input power
00:26:50it only needs to hold for 10 seconds
00:26:52i get it
00:26:54you're going to temporarily rewrite the system boot order aren't you
00:26:57not just the boot order
00:27:00i'm going to bypass the firmware entirely
00:27:02and build a hardware level jumper firewell at the base lever
00:27:05a fifty dollar toy key to rewrite the fate of a multi-million dollar rocket engine
00:27:09who
00:27:10who is he really
00:27:12what are you standing around for
00:27:15didn't you hear the master
00:27:17go buy some
00:27:18no buy them all
00:27:20yes sir
00:27:45that bastard miller
00:27:46he layered different firewall locks on every system level
00:27:49he was dead set on forcing us to buy his hardware
00:27:52miller is widely regarded as the best system firewall designer
00:27:56no one has ever beaten him
00:27:58one firewall is hard enough with this many
00:28:02jack you might as well give up
00:28:10master can you really do this
00:28:12yes
00:28:12it'll just take time
00:28:38oh my god they're disappearing the firewalls are dropping one by one
00:28:43he actually cracked miller's firewalls
00:28:49miller's defenses are top type in aerospace
00:28:51and he cracked them all with a fifty dollar toy car
00:28:54all system firewalls bypassed
00:28:56new firewall updates complete
00:28:58it's unlocked
00:29:00all the firewalls are down
00:29:01we have control again
00:29:03don't celebrate yet
00:29:04we won't know if it's really fixed until we fire it up
00:29:12i added a custom hardened password to this firewall
00:29:15anyone outside of nasa will need to manually unlock it through the console
00:29:23that's
00:29:24that's nasa's internal firewall password
00:29:27who is this guy
00:29:31we can ignite again
00:29:48it worked
00:29:50dad we did it
00:30:13we've got eight hours left
00:30:14can you handle the other five
00:30:17of course
00:30:18leave it to me
00:30:19but first we need to run safety checks
00:30:38unbelievable
00:30:39after that kind of test run
00:30:40injector surfaces usually show tiny heat stress marks
00:30:43but this engine
00:30:44the surface is flawless
00:30:45not a single mark
00:30:50hardware where
00:30:51zero
00:30:52what did you say
00:30:55dad not just zero where
00:30:57the core impel parameters
00:30:59combustion chamber
00:31:00pressure tolerance
00:31:01all the numbers are 15% higher than the factory optimal settings
00:31:05that's impossible
00:31:06even if professor leo himself did the work
00:31:08there'd still be some where after an extreme test run
00:31:11how can anyone in the world achieve negative wear tuning
00:31:21i can deliver on time
00:31:22my company won't go under
00:31:24is this real
00:31:25thank you master
00:31:28remember our bet
00:31:30of course
00:31:31i keep my word
00:31:32if you finish the rest
00:31:34i'll honor every part of it
00:31:37sofia you assist me
00:31:38let's get started
00:31:39okay
00:31:56all five engines are repaired
00:31:57self-checked
00:31:58let's start the test ignition
00:32:03only one hour left
00:32:04god please don't let anything go wrong
00:32:10ignite
00:32:26all readings
00:32:28perfectly at delivery standards
00:32:38master you're incredible
00:32:41you're a god
00:32:51call nana say
00:32:52tell them the engines are fixed
00:32:53and all readings are above standard
00:32:55we're shipping them out right now
00:32:56get the transport convoy ready
00:32:57yes i'll arrange it now
00:33:03master you didn't just fix it
00:33:05you created an impossible miracle
00:33:07brooke start drafting the share transfer agreement
00:33:10not so fast
00:33:10we still have one more hurdle
00:33:12the launch
00:33:13yes yes yes whatever you say
00:33:15brooke take the master to the vip lounge to rest
00:33:23all systems nominal fueling complete entering final countdown
00:33:2710 9 8 5 4 3 2 1 0 ignition
00:33:39each separation confirmed thrust stable trajectory matches the predicted curve perfectly
00:33:47we did it
00:33:52perfect absolutely perfect
00:33:54satellite has entered its predetermined orbit launch mission is a complete success
00:34:03for the first time ever
00:34:05a damaged rocket engine has been repaired and reused a game changer for aerospace and sources
00:34:11say the repair was even more precise than the original specs
00:34:31master you didn't just make history
00:34:34you saved me from bankruptcy
00:34:37from today on
00:34:38you're a god to this company
00:34:40you earned it
00:34:4150% of the company is yours
00:34:44and on top of that i'll write you a separate check for a million dollars
00:34:49you earned every cent
00:34:53brooke draw up the contract get that share transfer done as fast as possible
00:34:56yes boss right away
00:34:57wait
00:34:58master is the share percentage not enough or the bonus just name your price i'll add more
00:35:03i don't want the 50%
00:35:04what
00:35:05then what do you want
00:35:07i want you to establish an independent r&d department under the company's name
00:35:12i'll be the chief executive officer
00:35:14i'll take 30% sweat equity
00:35:17but there's one condition
00:35:19all project decisions budget approvals and personnel appointments in the r&d department
00:35:27must be mine alone
00:35:28are you sure
00:35:30that 50% is worth over a billion dollars
00:35:33the ones who really drive technology forward
00:35:35aren't capitalists
00:35:37they're the engineers and the workers on the ground
00:35:41all i want
00:35:43is to create a sanctuary for pure research and manufacturing
00:35:47a place where people with real skill and real knowledge get paid what they're worth
00:35:54not crushed by capital
00:35:56not used as stepping stones for someone else's fortune
00:36:04i get it now
00:36:07you never wanted the company's shares
00:36:09you wanted the science that capital and power always look down on
00:36:20fine
00:36:22we'll do it your way
00:36:27professor
00:36:27you're here
00:36:29from today on you're the ceo of our r&d department
00:36:32this is your office
00:36:33the new lab is downstairs
00:36:46congratulations professor
00:36:51i've always wondered
00:36:52why are you so determined to build this team
00:36:55our aerospace technology isn't leading anymore
00:36:58the root causes capital and monopolies
00:37:00i heard the middle east already has a next-gen prototype engine
00:37:02we need to catch up fast
00:37:05i understand now
00:37:08you built this team to break free from capital
00:37:10focus on core tech and take back control
00:37:14don't worry
00:37:15i'll carefully screen the right people
00:37:30here's a list of technicians
00:37:32reach out to them
00:37:33see if they're interested
00:37:39got it
00:37:47actually there's one thing i've been wanting to ask you
00:37:51after seeing what you can do and how you think
00:37:54it reminds me of a legend in aerospace
00:37:57eric
00:37:58but your current situation makes it hard to connect the dice
00:38:01so i have to ask
00:38:04yes
00:38:06i'm eric
00:38:13then how did you end up
00:38:16like this
00:38:18i used to think doing good work was enough
00:38:22then i sat at the same table as the capitalists
00:38:26i realized they don't care about engine stability or astronaut safety
00:38:30they only care about profit
00:38:33i refuse to play their game
00:38:39so you left nasa
00:38:41no
00:38:43they kicked me out
00:38:45they blacklisted me
00:38:46they left me with nothing
00:38:50those bastards
00:38:56the world shouldn't be ruled by capital
00:38:59ordinary people deserve to be paid what they're worth
00:39:04professor i believe in what you're doing
00:39:07i want to join your team
00:39:10i don't need any special treatment
00:39:12i just want to learn from you
00:39:16honestly you've always been my hero
00:39:18these past few days you've shown me things no textbook could teach
00:39:22please let me stay and follow you
00:39:24all right
00:39:26but research isn't easy
00:39:30i'm not afraid of hard work
00:39:33being by your side is enough
00:39:48chief
00:39:49chief
00:39:50professor edward from natta is here
00:39:51he insists on seeing you
00:39:52let me see who's so amazing
00:39:55fix the engine problem in record time
00:40:09eric
00:40:10i never expected it to be you
00:40:13the trash i threw out of the system actually made a comeback
00:40:19edward
00:40:21long time no see
00:40:27edward
00:40:28long time no see
00:40:34i heard after you got kicked out your wife left you
00:40:37then you ended up on the streets
00:40:40what found yourself a sugar mama now
00:40:43who do you think you are
00:40:45your technology is worthless in front of capital
00:40:47do what i say or i'll throw you out and make you homeless
00:40:57since we're old friends
00:40:59this should be easy
00:41:00i've got a technical problem
00:41:03the new engine i'm leading keeps falling short on thrust
00:41:07we've brought in countless experts and nothing works
00:41:10how about giving me a hand
00:41:14eric
00:41:15no professor eric
00:41:17please help us
00:41:18if this project fails
00:41:20all of us are getting laid off
00:41:22shut up
00:41:23who asked you to speak
00:41:25eric don't forget
00:41:27if i hadn't fought to get you that research funding
00:41:29you'd never have built that full flow engine
00:41:31you owe me
00:41:38enough
00:41:42you know exactly what you did
00:41:46if you hadn't cooked the books
00:41:47and framed me with the higher ups
00:41:50i wouldn't have ended up on the streets
00:41:52you just couldn't see the bigger picture
00:41:56in front of capital
00:41:57you're nothing but an ant
00:41:59you're the ant
00:42:00not me
00:42:15security
00:42:17show them out
00:42:26edward listen carefully
00:42:28i'm not your subordinate anymore
00:42:29you don't give me orders
00:42:34you want me to save your project
00:42:35fine
00:42:36but you don't get to ask
00:42:39have the nasa director come beg me
00:42:41and my consulting fee 10 million an hour
00:42:44what
00:42:46are you insane
00:42:52show yourselves out
00:42:56fine
00:42:57eric
00:42:58you'll regret this
00:42:59let's go
00:43:02professor i had no idea you went through all that
00:43:05i understand now
00:43:06even if it costs the company
00:43:08i support you
00:43:09i'll talk to my dad about dropping nasa contracts
00:43:21why drop it
00:43:24our department is new
00:43:26we need projects to build our reputation
00:43:31that project was already in the pipeline when i left
00:43:38it's actually in line with what i've always wanted to research
00:43:42we can gain experience
00:43:45and make money from them
00:43:48why say no
00:43:50so you deliberately set that 10 million dollar rate
00:43:53for people who treat researchers as tools
00:43:55and don't respect the work
00:43:58price is the best filter
00:44:07eric
00:44:08no professor eric
00:44:10it's been years
00:44:11i never imagined we'd meet again like this
00:44:12mr roger
00:44:13my schedule is packed
00:44:14if you're here to catch up
00:44:15don't bother
00:44:17i was a fool back then
00:44:18i believed edward and let you go
00:44:21if you want
00:44:22you can come back anytime
00:44:24no thanks
00:44:25i'm happy where i am
00:44:26just tell me what you need
00:44:31fine
00:44:31please help us with our current problem
00:44:33here's our offer
00:44:34we accept your 10 million dollar hourly rate
00:44:38take me to the test bay
00:44:49professor welcome back to guide our work
00:45:02miller what are you doing here
00:45:04so this project has been stalled because of this con artist again
00:45:07looks like the last lesson wasn't enough for you
00:45:17professor
00:45:18let me introduce you
00:45:20this is professor miller
00:45:21he's been our chief technical advisor
00:45:23he knows this engine inside out
00:45:24perfect timing
00:45:25you two can collaborate on the diagnosis
00:45:27i had no idea you were professor eric
00:45:29this problem has been bothering us for so long
00:45:31let's work on it together
00:45:33collaborate i doubt it
00:45:50ignite hold at minimum thrust for 30 seconds
00:45:56stop level the mount rotate the engine to horizontal position
00:46:11this engine is lighter than the old design
00:46:13but there's a flaw
00:46:15a small pressure difference between the cooling and lubrication systems
00:46:19coolant leaks into the oil
00:46:20breaking the oil film
00:46:21that's what's killing performance
00:46:24simple fix
00:46:25install a pressure separator valve
00:46:31recording me
00:46:32so you can claim i illegally modified the equipment and humiliate me again
00:46:37fine
00:46:37you want a show
00:46:39i'll give you one
00:46:40and you won't recover from it
00:46:45fine
00:46:46you want a show
00:46:47i'll give you one
00:46:48and you won't recover from it
00:46:53the internal systems are noisy
00:46:55readings are high
00:46:57it could be a full-scale hardware failure
00:46:59see
00:47:00i told you
00:47:01the hardware is the problem
00:47:03these imported systems are no good
00:47:06looks like your initial diagnosis was right
00:47:08it's the hardware
00:47:09roger you heard that
00:47:10even professor eric agrees with me
00:47:12these imports are useless
00:47:14this is a pressure differential problem
00:47:15a separator valve would fix it
00:47:17why is professor eric agreeing with miller's wrong diagnosis
00:47:26roger
00:47:27i can fix this
00:47:28but we need to clarify a few rules before i start
00:47:35name it
00:47:36whatever it takes to get this fixed
00:47:38i'll agree
00:47:39first
00:47:40per our contract
00:47:41diagnosis and repair are built separately
00:47:43since the problem is confirmed as a hardware failure
00:47:46the ten million dollar diagnostic fee needs to be processed now
00:47:49no problem
00:47:50of course
00:47:51call finance
00:47:52wire the payment now
00:47:54second
00:47:54if the client or any third party is found to have hidden information
00:47:59or deliberately misled the diagnosis to block the repair
00:48:02the client will pay triple the contract value in penalties
00:48:07ten million times three
00:48:08thirty million dollars
00:48:10so i need you to confirm
00:48:11this diagnosis report
00:48:13signed by professor miller
00:48:15and representing your agency's opinion
00:48:17is it true
00:48:18accurate
00:48:18and correct
00:48:19professor miller you're sure about this
00:48:21roger what is this
00:48:22we've worked together for years
00:48:24you trust a homeless guy's opinion over my professional judgment
00:48:28eric is extorting you
00:48:29extortion
00:48:30miller if you have nothing to hide
00:48:32why are you panicking
00:48:36stop lying
00:48:38where's your proof
00:48:39if you can't show it
00:48:42you're not leaving this building today
00:48:44you want proof
00:48:45fine
00:48:47i'll give it to you right now
00:49:08this is a real-time sample of the internal lubricant passing through the components
00:49:12normal oil is transparent
00:49:16this is milky white
00:49:17classic oil water emulsion
00:49:19the oil is contaminated with cool in her
00:49:38everyone look closely
00:49:47blue means coolant contamination
00:49:51the cooling and lubrication systems are cross leaking
00:49:57that's the real cause of the friction damage
00:49:59it has nothing to do with the hardware or the engine materials
00:50:01miller
00:50:03this is your proof
00:50:07nonsense
00:50:09roger don't believe him
00:50:12he tampered with that test strip
00:50:18miller you bastard
00:50:20you told me it was a hardware problem
00:50:22you and edward have scammed nasa out of over 50 million dollars over the years
00:50:26and you made me fire the one real engineer we had
00:50:29i'm sending you to prison
00:50:30roger
00:50:32let me explain
00:50:34sabotaging national aerospace assets
00:50:36security
00:50:38take them to the fbi
00:50:48it's done
00:50:53the pressure separator valve is installed
00:50:57your technicians can handle the rest of the tuning
00:51:02professor eric thank you
00:51:06without you today
00:51:08nasa would have lost another hundred million
00:51:13mr roger
00:51:13the problem is solved
00:51:17just follow the contract for the rest of the repairs
00:51:20don't worry
00:51:21the diagnostic fee and the full contract amount have already been wired
00:51:25not a cent short
00:51:27and
00:51:28i owe you a formal apology for what happened ten years ago
00:51:32i'll get to the bottom of it
00:51:33i'll clear your name
00:51:41professor
00:51:41you were amazing today
00:51:44seeing miller so defeated was so satisfying
00:51:51word will spread fast
00:51:53he'll never be able to use technology as a front to scam people again
00:52:00sofia remember
00:52:01technology is for solving problems
00:52:06not for setting traps
00:52:11professor
00:52:12one more thing
00:52:13great news
00:52:18nasa just issued an official announcement
00:52:22they've removed you from the industry blacklist
00:52:24professor now that your reputation is restored
00:52:27if nasa asks you to come back
00:52:32would you leave us
00:52:37no
00:52:39i built this team with my own hands
00:52:43that building has too much capital stent
00:52:47here
00:52:47i can focus on real research
00:52:56now that your name is cleared
00:52:59have you ever thought about starting a family again
00:53:13now that your name is cleared
00:53:16have you ever thought about starting a family again

00:57:05eric you can't get rid of me that easily
00:57:07if you throw me out today i swear i'll destroy
00:57:11everything you've built
00:57:22the turbine pump parameters keep coming back wrong
00:57:25how do we fix it
00:57:34professor
00:57:35nexus group just sent a formal invitation
00:57:37they want us to handle their private rocket launch project
00:57:41nexus
00:57:41ever since their ceo announced they're building rockets
00:57:44every team has been fighting to work with them
00:57:45we couldn't even get our foot in the door before
00:57:48and now they're coming to us
00:57:52it's a tough project
00:57:53a good opportunity
00:57:56i'm putting sofia in charge of this one
00:57:58professor
00:58:00the project is tough
00:58:01and the timeline is tight
00:58:04what if i mess it up
00:58:11your theory is solid
00:58:12and you've improved fast in practice
00:58:17go for it
00:58:18i'll be here if you need me
00:58:22you won't fail
00:58:27professor sofia
00:58:30we've got less than two weeks before our launch window
00:58:38we still can't pinpoint the engine fault
00:58:41the chairman is coming for a site review tomorrow
00:58:43are you confident
00:58:49don't worry
00:58:50we're tracking down the root cause
00:58:57the drive code keeps flagging overload
00:59:01we've checked every internal component
00:59:03no signs of damage
00:59:05could it be a programming issue
00:59:09this system is way more complex than anything we've dealt with before
00:59:15when every obvious possibility has been ruled out
00:59:17look at what you can't see
00:59:22check every valve connection
00:59:23inspect all signal shielding layers
00:59:28on it
00:59:38found it
00:59:38a loose valve at the ignition port connector
00:59:40it was causing signal interference
00:59:42and tripping the overload alarm
00:59:46i've tightened it
00:59:51there's still a residual cache error
00:59:54clear the bottom level cache queue
01:00:01let's move to the main console
01:00:04prepare for ignition test
01:00:17ignite
01:00:27yes
01:00:31all data streams are in the green
01:00:40engine destroyed
01:00:44what happened
01:00:52what is this
01:00:53you just told me the problem was fixed
01:00:56three seconds after ignition
01:00:57it's completely destroyed
01:00:58according to our contract
01:01:00this is a major breach
01:01:01i'll sue your company
01:01:02i'll hold you responsible for every dollar of loss
01:01:05general manager
01:01:06please give us one more chance
01:01:07i'm certain the hardware is fully repaired
01:01:09there's nothing wrong with the mechanical structure
01:01:11then why did it blow up on the test stand
01:01:15give us another chance
01:01:16i'm confident we can find the real cause
01:01:18you're confident
01:01:20i told you repeatedly
01:01:22we have less than two weeks
01:01:24and you've just destroyed a multi-million dollar engine
01:01:28that's enough talk
01:01:30expect a lawyer's letter
01:01:32you'll pay for this
01:01:42i thought eric had found himself a brilliant assistant
01:01:45turns out you're just an empty-headed decoration
01:01:48lena
01:01:49this is a classified production facility
01:01:51how did you get in
01:01:52i have my ways
01:01:53i just came to see how capable eric star assistant really is
01:01:58now i know
01:01:59you're nothing special
01:02:00i've seen plenty of bitches like you
01:02:02pretending to be passionate about ideals
01:02:04while stealing someone else's husband
01:02:06you might fool eric
01:02:07but you don't fool me
01:02:08you're just after his money
01:02:10now that you've wrecked the engine
01:02:11go find someone in prison to seduce
01:02:13the only one after his money is you
01:02:15when nasa turned on him
01:02:16you cheated on him
01:02:17divorced him
01:02:18and took everything he had
01:02:19now that he's back on top
01:02:21you're crawling back
01:02:22the more you chase him
01:02:23the more he'll hate you
01:02:24you
01:02:25worry about yourself first
01:02:26your illegal operation
01:02:28just stalled a client's project
01:02:29that's a violation of airspace safety regulations
01:02:31get ready for prison you bitch
01:02:36it was you lena
01:02:37you set this up
01:02:41you had them invite us to fix a half-dead engine
01:02:44just so you could frame me
01:02:46professor sofia be careful with your words
01:02:48we invited you in good faith to solve a problem
01:02:50you're the one who mishandled it and destroyed the engine
01:02:52of course you have to pay
01:02:54exactly
01:02:54can't do the job and you blame others
01:02:57general manager
01:02:58what are you waiting for
01:02:59throw them in jail
01:03:00scum like this shouldn't be in the aerospace industry
01:03:03that's a lie
01:03:04we followed protocol
01:03:05this was a standard test
01:03:10check the surveillance footage
01:03:11we followed every contract term
01:03:13we didn't violate any rules
01:03:15you can't frame us
01:03:18damn it
01:03:18no cameras
01:03:20they planned this
01:03:21just accept it sofia
01:03:23all readings were perfect
01:03:26the only way it could have failed
01:03:28is if someone tampered with the back on parameters
01:03:30and deliberately caused a malfunction
01:03:33leave eric
01:03:34i'll talk to the manager about letting you off
01:03:36how about that
01:03:37no way
01:03:39i'm not letting a snake like you
01:03:41anywhere near professor eric again
01:03:43you will never win his heart
01:03:45through schemes and lies
01:03:49without you around
01:03:50he'll come back to me eventually
01:03:52since you won't cooperate
01:03:54don't blame us for what happens next
01:03:56bitch
01:03:59stop right there
01:04:06eric
01:04:08she destroyed the engine
01:04:09that's a major aerospace safe safety incident
01:04:11the feds will open a case
01:04:13if you protect her
01:04:14you'll go down with her
01:04:17i know sophia's character
01:04:19she would never violate protocol
01:04:21beyond what the contract allows
01:04:23but you
01:04:24how did you get in here
01:04:27you don't have the connections
01:04:28to pull this off
01:04:29with nexus upper management
01:04:31for that bitch
01:04:32you're really going to turn on me
01:04:34i trust sophia
01:04:35i don't trust you
01:04:37tell me
01:04:38what's your real goal
01:04:39after all this scheming

01:04:44completely under her spell
01:04:45since that's the case
01:04:46i won't push for a reunion
01:04:48give me five million dollars
01:04:50or i'll destroy both of you
01:04:51you'll never recover
01:04:53when we divorced
01:04:54i gave you everything
01:04:55the house
01:04:56the car
01:04:56all the savings
01:04:57i've done more than enough
01:04:59i'm not paying for your greed
01:05:01fine
01:05:01if you're this cold
01:05:03don't blame me
01:05:04tomorrow
01:05:05everyone in aerospace
01:05:06will know that your lab
01:05:07broke safety regulations
01:05:08cost a client millions
01:05:10and that its lead engineer
01:05:12abandoned his wife
01:05:13for his assistant
01:05:14once your partners find out
01:05:16you'll lose all your contracts
01:05:18you'll never get back
01:05:19on your feet
01:05:26what are you smiling at
01:05:29after all these years
01:05:30you're still this stupid
01:05:32you think we can't prove
01:05:33ourselves without cameras
01:05:37from the moment my team
01:05:38stepped into this bay
01:05:39everything you did
01:05:40was recorded
01:05:44stop bluffing
01:05:45sofia wrecked the engine
01:05:46and delayed nexus project
01:05:48that's a fact
01:05:49and so is your affair
01:05:50even if you recorded us
01:05:52so what
01:05:53our marriage ended
01:05:54ten years ago
01:05:55even if i find someone else
01:05:56it's none of your business
01:05:59and who said this engine
01:06:00is destroyed
01:06:01i can fix it
01:06:02impossible
01:06:02we've brought in teams
01:06:04from all over the world
01:06:05no one could fix it
01:06:06if the hardware checks out
01:06:07then the problem is probably
01:06:08in the internal systems
01:06:10professor eric
01:06:10don't make promises
01:06:12you can't keep
01:06:12if you can't fix it
01:06:13you'll pay massive damages
01:06:15if you can't pay
01:06:17i'll have you arrested
01:06:18connect the laptop
01:06:19to the engine's
01:06:20internal programming system
01:06:21open the database
01:06:33done
01:06:34fire it up
01:06:44all readings are in the green
01:06:45ready for delivery
01:06:48it's
01:06:48actually fixed
01:06:50today's failure
01:06:51wasn't just about someone
01:06:52tampering with the programming
01:06:54this project was flawed
01:06:56from the start
01:06:57the original calibration data
01:06:59was clearly altered
01:07:00the logs on that computer
01:07:02prove everything
01:07:03am i right general manager
01:07:10you couldn't fix this engine
01:07:12you tried team after team
01:07:15then lena came to you
01:07:16with a plan
01:07:17invite us
01:07:18if we failed
01:07:20blame us
01:07:21that way you avoid
01:07:22internal accountability
01:07:23and get paid by edward
01:07:24am i right
01:07:27it wasn't my idea
01:07:28do you realize
01:07:29this is illegal
01:07:34if i take this evidence
01:07:35to court
01:07:35your company
01:07:36will go bankrupt
01:07:37i swear it wasn't me
01:07:38they tricked me
01:07:39from the start
01:07:39it was all their idea
01:07:42i just
01:07:43i got greedy
01:07:44for a moment

01:08:04cooperate with the investigation
01:08:05i won't hold you accountable
01:08:07and your company stays intact
01:08:09i'll cooperate
01:08:11i'll do whatever you say
01:08:12don't listen to him
01:08:13if you talk

01:08:20officers we're ready
01:08:21you can come in now
01:08:30officers
01:08:30this is the person
01:08:32who deliberately altered
01:08:33aerospace equipment parameters
01:08:34made false accusations
01:08:35and attempted to extort my team
01:08:41lena you're under arrest
01:08:43for multiple criminal offenses
01:08:44come with us now
01:08:53did you hear
01:08:55edward got fired from nasa
01:08:57for data fraud
01:08:58cost them millions
01:08:59and he's been blacklisted
01:09:01across the entire industry
01:09:05serves him right
01:09:06all that energy spent
01:09:07on schemes
01:09:08instead of real work
01:09:09science has no room
01:09:11for personal agendas
01:09:12it was only a matter of time
01:09:13before he got flushed out
01:09:14let this be a lesson
01:09:16from now on
01:09:17log everything

01:09:41with so many projects and limited staff
01:09:44can we handle it all
01:09:49we can't take everything
01:09:50set a filter
01:09:52prioritize partners who respect the work
01:09:54and won't interfere with r and d
01:09:55sophia start recruiting immediately
01:09:58better to wait for the right people
01:09:59than to settle for the wrong ones
01:10:02got it professor
01:10:03i'll get on it right away
01:10:06professor eric
01:10:06urgent
01:10:07jack what's going on
01:10:13big trouble
01:10:20global tensions are escalating
01:10:22every nation is upgrading their hypersonic missiles
01:10:26the threat grows every year
01:10:28the department of defense has launched an urgent classified project
01:10:31they want us to lead the development of the next generation hypersonic strategic defense system
01:10:38and the requirements are extreme
01:10:40terminal velocity must exceed marsh 30
01:10:43full spectrum intelligent tracking
01:10:45completely bypass all existing interception logic
01:10:48100 success rate
01:10:50it's not just speed
01:10:51look here
01:10:52the missile has to be ultra lightweight
01:10:54withstand thousand degree heat
01:10:55and extreme cold at altitude
01:10:57component durability needs to be 20 times better than current missiles
01:11:00that puts extreme remandements on the engine
01:11:02kinetic loss and ablation have to be made
01:11:04this is a hundred times harder than anything we've done
01:11:07exactly
01:11:08these specs are a level above even our most advanced rocket engine technology
01:11:13every major defense contractor evaluated it and passed
01:11:16no one could take it on
01:11:17but you
01:11:18you fix that engine
01:11:21with zero wear
01:11:22and readings 15% above factory specs
01:11:25the department of defense believes only you can pull it off
01:11:29professor
01:11:30do we take it?
01:11:42current interceptor missiles have two problems
01:11:45not fast enough
01:11:47too much drag from bulky structures and fixed trajectories
01:11:52we need to redesign the propulsion
01:11:54simplify the valve system
01:11:57and cut kinetic loss
01:11:59that's the only way to break Moth 30
01:12:04to hit 100% interception we need a complete overhaul
01:12:06less loss
01:12:07more speed
01:12:08variable trajectory
01:12:10I'll redesign the power structure
01:12:11eliminate unnecessary parts
01:12:13and optimize airflow
01:12:14that's how we solve ablation and loss at the source
01:12:23tell the DOE we're taking it
01:12:30really?
01:12:34great
01:12:34I'll respond right away
01:12:36I'll apply for the special funding and top-level clearance
01:12:41professor I believe in you
01:12:57this isn't just R&D
01:12:58breaking Marsh 30
01:13:00breaking every missile defense system on the planet
01:13:04this is the ultimate challenge for science
01:13:24everyone stop what you're doing
01:13:25report to the R&D office for a meeting
01:13:28now
01:13:32shut down all equipment

01:14:30military materials would burn up under mach 30 friction we'd need to develop a completely new
01:14:35composite material from scratch but with our current resources we're stuck before we even start
01:14:42there will be challenges but i believe we can overcome them
01:14:49professor this isn't realistic lightweight extreme speed and heat resistance they're mutually
01:14:56exclusive there's no material on earth that can do all three he's right material is the hardware
01:15:02ceiling without the base material even the best design is useless developing a new material from
01:15:08scratch would take years we don't have that kind of time professor i respect your skills but engineering
01:15:18can't run on passion alone building a new missile engine from zero carries massive risk the failure
01:15:23rate is astronomical if the material development stalls everything else structure algorithms will
01:15:29be wasted we don't have to start from zero we can iterate on existing top line military alloys
01:15:35i've already mapped out the full plan
01:15:39first optimize the alloy composition redesign the engine's internal structure to increase density so
01:15:46it won't deform crack or ablate under extreme conditions second use precision 3d printing for
01:15:54the entire unit eliminate bolts and weld joints minimize weight and loss maximize them flight stability
01:16:013d printing precision is limited even a micron level error could cause the missile to disintegrate mid-flight
01:16:07the risk is too high i've accounted for that after printing we'll use vacuum high temperature stress
01:16:12treatment to eliminate internal stress no deformation no cracking third upgrade the core propulsion algorithm
01:16:20compress vector nozzle control and airflow compensation to 0.01 seconds real-time adaptation to extreme
01:16:26conditions offset heat loss but professor what about the outer shell the pressure and heat at mosh 30
01:16:33are several times greater than current missiles a standard shell won't survive
01:16:44you've hit the key issue so we'll develop a new external material too a custom silicon harphide
01:16:51titanium alloyed composite high strength sub rate with a nano heat resistant coating
01:16:57then redesign the nozzle curvature and overall aerodynamic profile
01:17:04the goal is simple smaller lighter stronger thrust faster stable mach 30 performance smaller size
01:17:15smaller size and stronger thrust that completely overturns current military tech the difficulty is hellish
01:17:22i know how hard this is but time is short from this moment on pause all other projects
01:17:28cancel all leave we go all in on this
01:17:33if we stop all commercial projects for one this difficult the company will lose revenue and if we fail
01:17:38our reputation could take a hit that hurts future contracts the risks are real
01:17:43but think about what success means a breakthrough that benefits the world a chance for war-torn nations
01:17:47to see hope for peace even with all the risk i believe it's worth everything we've got
01:17:57we'll spare no expense top plepper smelting equipment micron level 3d printers material
01:18:03testing rigs i've already reached out to x corporation for large-scale complex component printing
01:18:08all external tech is just support the core material formula flight algorithms and aerodynamic design
01:18:13stay strictly classified in our hands only sophia you lead the algorithm team focus on the extreme
01:18:21speed flight control system compress response time to 0.01 seconds run a thousand mosh 30 simulations
01:18:27optimize the variable trajectory algorithm ensure interception success understood professor i'll deliver
01:18:32a full plan tonight and set up multiple extreme simulation environments jimmy you lead the mechanical team
01:18:39micron revel 3d printing full assembly component fit and calibration got it
01:18:46frank you lead the materials team develop the diamond grade composite iterate the smelting ratios run
01:18:52full spectrum tests heat abulsion extreme cold wind pressure this is the core of the whole project
01:18:57understood every ratio every test result all recorded and iterated with precision
01:19:02i know how hard this is so hard the whole world thinks it's impossible but if we succeed
01:19:07we become a top tier global engineering team no longer limited by anyone from then on we choose our
01:19:14partners not the other way around we show the so-called elite that ordinary people can do extraordinary
01:19:19things let's do this
01:19:28internal valves reduced to five or fewer minimize drag and kinetic loss total weight down to one-fifth of a
01:19:34conventional missile part fit tolerances locked at 0.11 microns any deviation could cause distigration
01:19:40at speed professor we've pushed every component to its weight limit but the total weight is still 0.2 grams
01:19:45over we can't get it down any further professor come look algorithm response is down to 0.05 seconds
01:19:51but at mash 30 simulation there's still a 0.02 second delay
01:19:57add a load prediction compensation algorithm immediately anticipate pressure temperature and
01:20:02airflow changes pre-correct the pulse signals eliminate the delay entirely zero deviation throughout flight
01:20:07the 3d printer itself is precise but locking assembly fit to 0.1 microns after printing
01:20:27is ridiculously demanding anticipate the assembly gap during printing pre-adjust part thickness
01:20:34lock total error at 0.05 microns solve the fit problem at the source 0.05 microns that's insanely tight
01:20:49professor our custom diamond grade material meets hardness specs but if the cutting angle is even
01:20:55slightly off the parts won't seal properly at speed that means leaks and aeration the whole unit fails
01:21:06use dynamic angle compensation start cut at 0.5 degrees offset finish at 0.6 degrees convergent
01:21:13prioritize fit precision and material density aesthetics are secondary
01:21:21ignite
01:21:31attempt 15 failed this time it's the flame jet nozzle is too narrow heat dispersion is unfieben coolant boffin's
01:21:37area is insufficient the cooling cycle can't keep up with the heat spike at mark 30 that caused the power
01:21:43imbalance and system error we've already moved the coolant lines as close to the nozzle as possible
01:21:48still not enough add a dynamic smart cooling compensation algorithm real-time correction
01:21:52of nozzle position and cooling power move all future tests to early morning low temperature windows
01:21:57avoid environmental airflow interference
01:22:13attempt 25 failed professor do we keep going
01:22:33we've revised the design dozens of times iterated algorithms endlessly tried every material ratio
01:22:38imaginable we've even adjusted micro level fit clearances the core bottleneck is their 0.01 second
01:22:43mismatch between attitude control and thermal timing this is physics itself we can't break through
01:22:50it's all been pointless
01:22:55point we went from stuck below mosh 28 to pushing mosh 30 that's progress
01:23:02if you ask me the problem is your materials team your heat resistance isn't up to spec and that's holding
01:23:07everything back what did you say we've scrapped enough material to cover this entire floor
01:23:15why don't you blame your own assembly precision part gaps causing heat leaks don't you dare ship the blame
01:23:23why don't you dare ship to cover it let's just come relax as the boy we gotta believe it's
01:23:26you say fire me right here you can't use this stop you were so needy
01:23:36professor i'm not trying to pressure you but the dod only approved partial funding it's not enough for this
01:23:43we've formed almost all our revenue into this project if we don't see real progress soon
01:23:48the company won't hold up much longer is there still hope
01:23:52it's not enough for this project if we don't see real progress if we don't see real progress
01:24:03jack give us one more round if it fails again we shut it down fine
01:24:11first our test gun right
01:24:21professor is this beyond us is mark 30 really beyond the physical limits of military engineering
01:24:26were we too ambitious
01:24:32from bulky conventional missiles to a lightweight prototype that's not failure
01:24:35that's proof we keep pushing limits we're walking a path no one has walked before
01:24:39no references no templates i'm okay with exhaustion breakdowns letting off steam but i won't let
01:24:45anyone declare defeat before it's over everyone rest tonight tomorrow we review all 25 failures
01:24:52i believe the real breakthrough is hidden in the small errors we've overlooked
01:25:09i believe the real breakthrough is hidden in the small errors we've checked in the small errors we've missed
01:25:21Ignite
01:25:46All parameters fully met.
01:25:53Professor!
01:25:56We did it!
01:25:58We actually broke the Mach 30 barrier!
01:26:04We count as failures and trials.
01:26:06This is the final phase.
01:26:16Breaking defense news.
01:26:18Our nation's independently developed 30MASH Hyperionic Defense System has completed its final test run.
01:26:23This completely reshapes the global strategic defense landscape and establishes a supreme deterrent for national security.
01:26:51The mission is done. Can you answer the question I asked you before?
01:26:57Hmm?
01:27:00Have you thought about starting a family again?
01:27:03I'm willing to stay with you until we're old.
01:27:09Of course I do, Sophia.
01:27:12Yeah.
01:27:13Yeah.
01:27:15Yeah.
01:27:23Yeah.
01:27:24You
