Chapter 447 The Legacy of the Once Arctic Country
These experts clearly know that there are only two or three countries in the entire world that have the ability to develop nuclear rockets, and these two or three countries include their beautiful country. At the same time, their country also has technological reserves in this area.
In fact, the first country to propose nuclear-powered rockets was not their beautiful country, but their rival Arctic Country as early as the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the Beautiful Country and the Arctic Country were engaged in a Cold War.
At that time, the competition between the two countries was all-round, and this included the space field.
Therefore, in order to catch up with the beautiful country in the space field, the scientists of the Arctic country at that time put forward the idea of building a nuclear-powered rocket by integrating their own technology and the technology obtained from the beautiful country.
However, due to the financial problems of the Arctic country, this project was canceled before the Arctic country became weak.
However, what most people don’t know is that after the Arctic country proposed a nuclear-powered rocket project, their country also secretly carried out research on similar technologies. After all, for the beautiful country at that time, what the Arctic country had, their beautiful country
The country must definitely have it, and it must be technologically more advanced than the other country.
At this time, the expert spoke again; "From a technical point of view, nuclear-powered rockets are definitely the most achievable technology in our country at the current level of science and technology. Of course, there are also many difficulties.
There are three main technical difficulties. First of all, like the previous aerospace aircraft engines of the Dahua Empire, it is also a material problem, because after the launch of the power rocket, extremely high pressure will be formed, and the pressure will be much higher.
Higher than ordinary rockets, of course the temperature will also become extremely high due to the consumption of nuclear fuel. This is only relative to the level of our beautiful country at that time.
Now, more than half a century has passed since the era when the idea was put forward. The scientific and technological level of us humans and our beautiful country is no longer what it used to be. We are making great progress in materials. If we invest heavily in this area, if we want
It is not impossible to develop corresponding materials.
Secondly, there are the requirements for nuclear fuel. According to our inference at that time, the nuclear fuel required for power rockets must be high-concentration nuclear fuel. Generally speaking, the purity requirements for nuclear fuel in general nuclear power plants are above 20, but nuclear fuel
The purity of the nuclear fuel required for power rockets must reach above 90%. Of course, there is no difficulty for us.
The last and most important thing is the radiation problem caused by the operation of nuclear-powered rockets. We all know that for aerospace, especially manned spaceflight, how to ensure the safety of astronauts is the most important thing. If nuclear-powered rockets are used
If so, then how to prevent astronauts from being affected by radiation is the most critical. At the same time, nuclear-powered rockets essentially use the shocks generated by explosions to obtain power. I think everyone knows about the radiation generated by nuclear explosions.
This poses more challenges to us, but no matter what, this is the most ideal way of spaceflight that our country can achieve with its current level of science and technology." After finishing speaking, the scientist sat back in his seat.
superior.
Subsequently, the scientists present discussed the nuclear-powered rocket project he proposed, and finally came to the conclusion that their country could overcome the above difficulties and create a nuclear-powered rocket within a short period of time.
After their discussion, various relevant departments of the beautiful country secretly began to develop more than just rocket plans, hoping to realize low-cost spaceflight as soon as possible.
However, what they didn't know was that on the day after their discussion, the content of their meeting was known to their old rival, the Arctic Country.
"Hello, gentlemen, the people attending this seminar are all the most famous aerospace and nuclear experts in our country. Today, although our Arctic country is facing various difficulties, with your joint efforts, our Arctic country has made great progress.
The country's national strength has begun to gradually recover.
However, since the Dahua Empire successfully developed an aerospace plane and subsequently launched their country's space project, the world's situation has undergone tremendous changes. The earth is no longer the commanding heights competed for by the world's major powers. We humans are gradually
We have begun to turn our attention to the more distant and richer space.
However, except for the Dahua Empire, the aerospace methods used by all countries in the world now use chemical fuels for propulsion. The cost of such aerospace is very high, even for a country with the world's largest economy like the United States.
It's unbearable, so we must make changes. This is also the purpose of calling you here.
Just the day before yesterday, the intelligence department of our Arctic country got the exact news that the beautiful country has restarted their country's power rocket project, so I would like to ask you, how is the power rocket technology reserve of our Arctic country? If we restart these
How long will it take to develop a nuclear-powered rocket that can actually be used as a project?" the head of the Arctic country's aerospace department asked these scientists.
After listening to the words of the head of their country's aerospace department, a nuclear expert immediately stood up and replied: "Sir! Although our country has experienced a catastrophe before, we still very much preserve the technical information on nuclear-powered rockets.
It is complete and has not been lost due to the catastrophe of the past.
This technology was about to be developed when the country ordered us to cancel the plan. If we restart the rocket project now, although many experts who once participated in the development of nuclear-powered rockets are no longer alive,
But since the technology is almost successful, as long as there is sufficient investment in funds and personnel, I can guarantee that we will definitely be able to develop a usable nuclear-powered rocket within one to two years."
After listening to this expert's words, everyone present nodded, and no one expressed doubts, because these people here knew clearly that this expert was a participant in their country's nuclear-powered rocket project, and was still in the project.
holding important positions.
After listening to his words, the person in charge of their country's aerospace department nodded happily, and at the same time he was very glad that these information were not lost in the original catastrophe. You must know that these nuclear-powered rocket technology information cost their country tens of
It was obtained after years of research and development. If it is lost, there is really no place to cry.
"That's good! I will report this matter to the president of our country in a moment. At the same time, the country will also allocate a lot of funds to you, and all you have to do is to develop a nuclear-powered rocket as soon as possible, at least in this beautiful country.
