Chapter 239 Building a rocket launch site
Then Wang Bin talked to Professor Kah about the separation of the aviation engine research and development and rocket engine research and development departments, and Professor Kah met the aviation engine research and development laboratory.
As for the person in charge of the Rocket R&D department, Wang Bin already has a candidate in his mind. After all, Wang Bin and his team have recruited a lot of talents over the past period of time, including talents in Rocket R&D.
The site of the rocket engine or the rocket R&D department is naturally not allowed to be placed on the new industrial zone. Not to mention the size of the site in the new industrial zone, it is not enough to develop rockets. Even if the site is sufficient and the number of people in the new industrial zone is dense, it is not suitable as a site for developing rockets.
After all, developing rockets is different from developing aircraft engines, and developing and launching rockets is very dangerous.
Let’s not talk about the dangers when launching rockets, just the research and development and testing of rocket engines are very dangerous.
Therefore, the research and development and launch sites of rockets should not be placed in places with dense crowds, but in places with sparse crowds.
Fortunately, although the county where Wang Bin is located is a developed coastal province, it is still possible to find the corresponding place because it is located in a mountainous area.
Moreover, since entering aerospace was something that Wang Bin had already planned, Wang Bin had already found a suitable site, communicated with the county government, and obtained the land.
Now what Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have to do now is to build a laboratory.
So Wang Bin immediately contacted General Qiu and the others, hoping that they could help build the rocket launch site and the rocket engine laboratory.
After all, the construction of rocket launch sites and laboratories, with the capabilities of ordinary private construction companies, really does not have this strength.
"General Qiu! Hello! I am Wang Bin of Tiangong Technology. General Qiu. Our Tiangong Technology is preparing to enter the aerospace technology industry, so we are preparing to build an aerospace laboratory and rocket launch platform.
However, considering that building such facilities is not something that ordinary private enterprises can build, I thought of General Qiu, your military definitely has this strength and ability. I hope the military can help me build it!" After General Qiu answered the phone, Wang Bin directly explained to General Qiu the purpose of calling him!
"Mr. Wang! Our military does have this ability to build the rocket laboratory and rocket launch platform. At the same time, we are also very happy to help you Tiangong Technology build the corresponding facilities.
But Mr. Wang, the cost of building a rocket launch platform and experimental site is not low. I hope Mr. Wang, you are ready again." After hearing Wang Bin's words, General Qiu directly agreed to Wang Bin's request.
"General Qiu! Please rest assured! In this regard, I have already prepared myself!" Wang Bin said.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Bin finally felt relieved. After all, he had purchased the corresponding technology from the system, and now the launch site has been solved. As long as the site construction is completed, Tiangong Technology can directly carry out research and development in related aspects.
The military was very efficient. On the third day after Wang Bin and General Qiu talked on the phone, engineering vehicles and dark green military vehicles arrived at the site that Wang Bin had already chosen and began to build a rocket launch site and laboratory.
Although the time required for military engineering troops to build rocket launch sites and laboratories is not comparable to that of private construction companies, the construction of rocket launch platforms and laboratories is not the construction of other facilities, so even the military engineering troops must have a construction cycle of at least half, and this is the consequence of Wang Bin's investment that is less than cost.
If the normal construction time is followed, a rocket launch platform like this has been built in the Rocket Laboratory and it is impossible to complete without a few years.
At the same time, the 5,000-hour test run of the tg001 engine of Wang Bin and his team continued.
The previous 3,000-hour test run has been completed, and after disassembling it, the ten engines they tested were performing very well, and there was no serious wear inside. According to the estimates of Professor Ku and others, there will definitely be no problems with these engines running for another two or three thousand hours.
So, after three thousand hours of test drive, Wang Bin and his team added another 2,000 hours of test drive, which is a total of 5,000 hours of test drive.
Of course, the specific total test run time will have to wait until 5,000 hours to see the engine condition before it can be determined.
Of course, for China, even the current test drive time, which is 3,000 hours of the first overhaul, and the full life of 9,000 hours, is already very unbearable.
At the same time, when the military engineering team arrived, there were also ten trucks coming to pull the engine. After all, some time ago, Wang Bin and his team were not idle, but produced ten engines one after another. Now these ten are just enough for the military.
In Wang Bin's office, Wang Bin was sitting in front of the computer, looking at a large bypass turbofan engine developed from the core engine of the tg001 engine, and also wrote something in the document of the New Year's brain from time to time.
That's right, this drawing of the large bypass engine is the result developed by Wang Bin and the others of Tiangong Technology, the aviation engine laboratory.
Of course, Wang Bin actually got this drawing from the engine laboratory.
At the same time, when Wang Bin got this drawing, to be honest, it was a bit beyond his expectations.
After all, compared to the large bypass, it is obvious that the development of other models of engines is much simpler, such as turboshaft engines and turboprop engines.
So Wang Bin originally believed that turboshaft engines and turboprop engines would definitely be developed earlier than turbofan engines, but the reality is that they first developed turbofan engines with a large bypass ratio.
As for the turbine shaft and turboprop engines, the progress is not very good. It can even be said that these two engines have not been spent on research and development.
Because both Professor Kao, Professor Dai, Professor Zhang and others believe that these two engines are not very effective for their Tiangong Technology.
They believe that if Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology really want to develop helicopters and propeller fixed-wing aircraft, they do not have to use turboshafts or pulp fan engines as the engine of the aircraft. With their Tiangong Technology's capabilities, weapons can be driven by electricity and motors as the engine of the aircraft, so they believe that there is no need to spend such a huge cost to develop these two engines.
You should know that developing an aircraft engine is not a simple matter. Even if you have a core engine, it is the same. If you want to develop a qualified slurry fan or turboshaft engine, you don’t even think about it at all without the cost of billions.
So Wang Bin and his team of Tiangong Technology can invest this money in other places, such as developing rocket engines.
