With the announcement of the Mass Projector Lend-Lease Act, the International Outer Space Conference finally came to an end.
Although Maxwell and others were very dissatisfied, they had to admit it when the situation was stronger than their own.
Obviously, the introduction of the Lend-Lease Act has given Mi Lijia and other countries a step down, but bidding qualifications is indeed a very troublesome matter.
Especially some of the clauses, such as what is friendly to the Eastern Tang-Galaxy Alliance, such as the absence of disputes...
Those who had historical problems with the Eastern Tang Dynasty immediately became distressed. Among them, Mao Xiong and Tianzhu found it the most difficult.
After all, Transhunggan, Vladivostok, Lake Baikal, Tangnuulianghai, and Sakhalin are the historical issues between Mao Xiong and the Eastern Tang Dynasty; while the southern side of the Himalayas is the historical issue between Tianzhu and the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
These issues can already put aside disputes. Now that the Eastern Tang Dynasty is powerful, setting aside disputes is no longer applicable. It is time to speak on the basis that it has been our territory since ancient times.
Anyway, Dongtang will not grant the bidding qualifications to Mao Xiong and Tianzhu unless these issues are settled.
Therefore, before the construction of the Wenchang mass projector is completed, there is an opportunity for various countries to have private contact and negotiations with the Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance. If you miss this opportunity, you may miss the great era of entering outer space.
Except for those guys who are just waiting to die, Tianzhu and Mao Xiong are definitely not willing to give up the opportunity to enter outer space.
After the International Outer Space Conference, the Space Development Committee6 promulgated a series of legal provisions, such as the "Spacecraft Technical Standards", "Space Station Technical Standards", "Space Navigation Management Regulations", "Space Industry Management Law" and "Space Safety Law"
etc.
Although these legal provisions were promulgated by the Space Development Commission itself, to a certain extent, these legal provisions have very strong international legal attributes.
If they want to rent a mass projector, they must abide by the legal provisions promulgated by the Universe Development Committee, unless they do not want to rent a mass projector.
the other side.
Hualien, East Island, Universe Power Company.
Universe Power Company is one of the subsidiaries of Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group and is responsible for the production of special engines for research and development of aerospace.
They produce a series of engines such as Xiongfeng series rocket engines, spacecraft engines, space station engines, and satellite engines.
At this time, in a production workshop of Universe Power Company, workers were working around a huge engine.
"Mr. Li, welcome to inspect the work." A middle-aged man in a Mediterranean plaid shirt said with a smile.
Li Jianhua took a look at the motive being assembled and asked: "National Day, is this motive a new product?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, this is a new generation of engines that our company has developed recently, specially developed for 500-ton spacecraft." Lin Guoqing quickly introduced.
"A new generation of engines and spaceships? Why haven't I heard that you have this plan?" Li Jianhua asked in surprise.
"We started the project in December, and the new generation 500-ton spacecraft is a project that has just been established in the past few days. It is currently under internal discussion and I believe it will be submitted to the management committee for approval soon." Lin Guoqing hurriedly said
explained.
Li Jianhua opened the holographic watch to check the situation and found that Universe Power Company had indeed approved a motivation project in December.
"Is it too impatient to develop a 500-ton spacecraft so quickly?"
Lin Guoqing thought for a while and then replied: "From a technical point of view, there is no problem with a 500-ton spacecraft. Our technology can achieve this level. In addition, a 500-ton spacecraft can make full use of the launch resources of the mass projector.
"
Although Lin Guoqing said it very simply, Li Jianhua still didn't understand: "Why can the mass projector's launch resources be fully utilized?"
"The Xuanwu-class transport can transport 60 tons of cargo to low-Earth orbit at one time, while the 500-ton spacecraft can transport 300 tons of cargo to low-Earth orbit at one time, but the mass projector is used for the same time." Lin Guoqing.
explained.
"So that's it, then where is the progress of the new motivation?" Li Jianhua asked.
Lin Guoqing pointed to the motive in front of him and replied: "We have now reached the trial run stage. This is the second prototype. The first one is in the workshop next door."
Lin Guoqing and Li Jianhua inspected the workshop for more than half an hour before Li Jianhua and others left.
The workers and researchers in the workshop continued to work.
"Dr. Kudo, there is something wrong with the electronic control system you are responsible for." Cai Xin, the chief engineer of the project, said while holding a copy of the simulation results.
Dr. Kudo came from the Space Agency of the Sun Country. In fact, in the Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group, there are many scientists from Gao Li and the Sun Country.
As for whether secrets will be leaked, the internal review of the Galaxy Consortium is very powerful. Those with problems have long been excluded. After all, brain readers are unsolvable. Coupled with the supervision of artificial intelligence, no one can penetrate the Galaxy Consortium.
.
"Cai Sang, what's the problem?" Dr. Kudo asked nervously.
Cai Xin handed a report to the other party: "This is the simulation result. Take a look at it yourself."
After receiving it, Dr. Kudo quickly looked through it. He turned his head around while looking, and after a while he suddenly realized: "The parameters here are too big."
After discovering the problem, Dr. Kudo quickly opened the holographic computer and checked his design plan. After a while of troubleshooting, he found that one of the parameters was mistaken, and 24.7161 became 24.1161.
Data errors are very common in the research process, especially for those very complex research projects, where the data can easily be in the hundreds or even thousands. If a few points are wrong, the results will be completely different.
As chief engineer, Cai Xin is also very busy.
"General Engineer Cai, my nozzle design has been completed." A tall and thin young man said.
Cai Xin took the other party's information and studied it carefully for a while. He raised his head and asked, "Guowen, is the wall thickness of the nozzle too thin?"
The tall and thin Wang Guowen shook his head and explained: "No, I used mixed gel to coat the nozzle, and I used three layers. Both high temperature resistance and structural strength are stronger than the first generation motor.
."
"Hybrid gel is really a good thing." Cai Xin exclaimed.
"This mixed gel is of course a good thing. After using this material in the combustion chamber and nozzle of our new generation engine, the power has been increased, but the weight has not increased much." Wang Guowen said with a smile.
In fact, if you compare it, you will know the difference. It is also a hydrogen-oxygen engine used by the Xuanwu-class spacecraft. The first-generation main engine weighs 3.4 tons and can provide 135 tons of power; while the second-generation main engine (coated with mixed gel film
), weighs 2.3 tons and can power 157 tons.
This so-called second-generation motive is just a minor change. The real major change is the third-generation motive, which is still the motive that Cai Xin and the others are currently working on.
This engine, in their design plan, is expected to weigh about 6.5 tons and provide power between 6oo and 7oo tons.
The main reason is that after adopting the hybrid gel coating process, a lot of materials have been deleted. The thickness of the combustion chamber wall is more than 60% thinner than the previous two generations, but the structural strength has been increased by 46%.
New materials have brought a powerful boosting effect to the further development of motivation, and even made the design simpler and more crude.
