Although the payload of the Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicle is already very powerful.
But Li Qingye was not too satisfied with this.
The reason is very simple. The payload of the Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicle is: 150 tons in low-Earth orbit, 100 tons in synchronous orbit, and 63 tons in the moon.
According to Antonio's introduction, Li Qingye understood that the current Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicles are all designed based on manned spacecraft.
Although the cargo-carrying launch vehicle of Homo sapiens can lift a payload of about 20 tons, the overall payload is still very small.
To complete the Katsura Project within two to three years, the payload of the launch vehicle must be increased by an order of magnitude to barely be enough.
Nowadays, Homo sapiens companies use giant cannons to launch satellites and unmanned equipment into outer space.
It is indeed difficult for a slow launch vehicle to compete with a giant cannon launch system in terms of launch efficiency.
The current Homo sapiens launch vehicle project mainly serves manned spaceflight, and cargo is only incidentally carried.
After all, a giant cannon can launch hundreds of tons of supplies into low-Earth orbit in a day. No matter how fast the launch vehicle is, it cannot be launched once a day. Launching once a week is the limit, and it also depends on weather conditions.
After Antonio came to Homo sapiens, he discovered that this place was simply a paradise for scientific research.
And many winners of international awards often start in their fifties or sixties. They are already old people. They can teach, but they are really not as good as young people in scientific research and creation.
In Homo sapiens, as long as you are capable and work hard enough, you can get promoted even if you don't please your boss and colleagues, and you don't have to worry about other problems at all.
Antonio is only 38 years old this year.
In order to get some research funds, you have to please those who manage scientific research funds. Originally, Lucia's scientific research system was like an old man in his dying years. Under this bad management model, he could only do some archaeological research.
This is one of the reasons why he likes to stay with Homo sapiens.
Antonio quickly suggested: "Mr. Chairman, if we want to build a space station, we can first use the Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicle to launch several cabins directly up, and then use the giant cannon to replenish part of the fuel and culture medium."
What's more, Homo sapiens does not recognize the Nobel Prize internally, and the gap between the already self-contained Homo sapiens academic community and the international academic community is very serious.
For those who really immerse themselves in scientific research, it is actually difficult to get ahead without the support of teachers, classmates and bosses behind the scenes.
This technology is different from the heat recovery of the Falcon launch vehicle. After the first stage of the Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicle separates from the second stage, it will directly turn on the unpowered glider device, and then use the motor to adjust the glider to allow the second stage to
The first stage flew back to the recovery airport near the launch site.
Antonio despises the international academic community very much. Ever since he came to Homo sapiens company, he has firmly believed that only Homo sapiens has a pure academic world.
For example, the first-stage launch vehicle cold recovery system previously developed by Antonio.
But this is the core philosophy of the Department of Homo sapiens Science.
Many of the guys in the international academic community rely on nepotism and teacher-student relationships, coupled with cliques in various regions and the secret operations of various capital forces, they have already become a mess.
We have a large number of high-quality talents, sufficient resources, various unique advanced technologies, and a nearly transparent internal operating system.
Even a Nobel Prize winner may not be able to thrive in a Homo sapiens company.
"Your concerns are justified. It seems that we do need to build a near-Earth space station first."
Science is science, science is black and white, there is no ambiguity or gray.
The carrying capacity of the launch vehicle seems to be a drop in the bucket compared with the blueprint of the Katsura Palace Project.
Antonio nodded: "As the chairman said, the company's biotechnology must be designed based on the earth's environment. I'm worried that if it is used directly on the moon, it will be acclimatized."
In particular, the two things of coining scientific terms and writing papers in multiple languages have almost caused the Homo sapiens academic community to part ways with the international academic community.
Sometimes the impact of the scientific research environment on scientific research is greater than the impact of funding on scientific research.
However, the reason why he is like a salty fish is because he does not want to beg for help in a humble manner. In addition, on several occasions, his research results have been appropriated by the director of the institute.
Antonio nodded.
There is a very critical issue in this, that is, most of the scientific researchers of Homo sapiens are in their twenties and thirties, and only a few are over 40 years old.
It seems very cruel. This is a typical judgment of superiority based on academic ability without any human touch.
Antonio can become the chief engineer of Puerto Ramon Space City just by relying on his own talent and hard work.
Fortunately, the biotechnology of Homo sapiens is relatively powerful. After arriving on the lunar surface, we can use bioconcentration technology and biosynthesis technology to collect materials on the moon, avoiding wasting precious payloads on materials such as building materials.
Antonio also knew about the Katsura Palace Project, and of course he understood that the Mongolian Eagle-class launch vehicle could only carry people and a small amount of precision equipment to the moon.
Under a system like Homo sapiens, only truly talented people can stand out, while those who are just living in a deadlock basically have no say.
Antonio is a living example. After his teacher passed away, he was marginalized by the institute.
Li Qingye rubbed his thorny beard: "Is it because of the environmental adaptation issues of bioenrichment and biosynthesis technology?"
After coming to Homo sapiens, Antonio seemed to be completely transformed.
Since the biotechnology of Homo sapiens is very powerful, the design of the manned spacecraft is simpler. After all, the special equipment made by biological cells has the ability to repair itself.
Talented people stand out quickly.
With the support of sufficient resources and a large number of new people majoring in aerospace, he developed many high-value aerospace technologies.
As a scientific researcher, Antonio is a typical straight man in science and engineering. He is extremely tired of the intrigues and internal social interactions.
He wrote down Li Qingye's arrangements and continued to take Li Qingye to inspect the assembly workshop of the manned spacecraft.
"You first form a space station design team, then prepare a planning document, and then send it directly to the Ministry of Space for review."
Using this technology, the shortcomings of the Falcon launch vehicle can be avoided, that is, the problem of the payload being occupied by the recovery system.
"Mr. Chairman, I think we should build a near-Earth space station first."
To stand out in the management system of the Science Department, the first factor is scientific research ability and academic achievements. Other working years, who the teacher is, what international awards you have won, etc. are actually irrelevant.
Antonio's performance in Lucia's research institute over the years has been that of a second-rate researcher.
Although conventional spacecraft have triple redundancy designs, electronic chips and precision instruments cannot repair themselves. As time goes by, failures are inevitable.
On one side of the manned spacecraft assembly workshop is an auxiliary training ground, specially set up for astronauts to test manned spacecraft.
A dozen astronauts wear special space exoskeleton equipment with several layers inside and outside. These spacesuits also have the ability to repair themselves.
They were wearing special spacesuits at the bottom of a 5-meter-deep swimming pool, simulating the effects of a microgravity environment on their movements.
