The inspection work of 'Hou Yi Hao' is very tedious. Every small detail must be inspected repeatedly and carefully. As for a small module, small parts and the like, it needs to be inspected repeatedly.
, over and over again, tirelessly.
There is no way. This is China's first anti-gravity spacecraft, and it is also the spacecraft that will be used to carry out manned moon landings next year. If something goes wrong with it.
The money invested by the country is a trivial matter. If there is no way to carry out a manned moon landing on time next year, China will definitely become an international joke. From now on, when going abroad, you will have to say that you are Japanese or Korean, otherwise you will be laughed to death.
Therefore, there is no need to be careless in this matter, and absolutely no problems are allowed. Repeated inspections are just the most basic. Overall, supercomputers have been used to simulate flights countless times.
After numerous scientists and engineers conducted no less than ten inspections, and after repeated confirmations and demonstrations, they confirmed that there was no problem with the Houyi, and it was finally time for the test flight of the Houyi.
On this day, the sky above Tianfu was cloudy, and the sky was covered with thick clouds. Satellites in space were unable to capture ground activities through the thick clouds.
Today is just a test flight experiment and will not fly directly into space. Therefore, China does not want to expose the Houyi. If we choose such weather, satellites in space will naturally not be able to photograph the Houyi.
.
Qin Yi and Yin Shouping had already gotten up from their rooms in the base city early. The work Qin Yi was involved in these days was to conduct anti-gravity engine inspections. This is the core and most critical part of the Houyi, so this inspection work
It is also very complicated.
After checking over and over again, it was finally time for the test flight, and Qin Yi seemed very excited.
The birth of anti-gravity spacecraft means that mankind has entered a new era in the field of interstellar space. From now on, traditional rockets can be thrown into the dust of history.
Compared with anti-gravity spacecraft, relying on traditional rocket technology to enter space not only costs a lot of money, but the cost of each rocket is often tens of millions, some even hundreds of millions. If you launch a rocket once, tens of millions are gone.
.
Moreover, the transportation capacity of launch vehicles is very limited. Even the United States' Saturn 5 launch vehicle can only transport more than 100 tons of material into space.
The cost of a round trip to space is really too high. It costs almost 3,000 US dollars to transport one kilogram of something into space.
Even if the mice are huge and have small transportation capacity, the key is that the safety is not high. Accidents will always happen to the rockets launched every year around the world. You must know that every time a rocket is launched, scientists and engineers from various countries will conduct repeated inspections, but it is still indispensable.
Something happened.
With the anti-gravity spacecraft, the transportation capacity is extremely powerful and terrifying, which can greatly reduce the cost of traveling to and from space and save valuable funds. The key is that it will become an easy task to send anything to space in the future.
The rocket seems huge, but in addition to its limited carrying capacity, the space is also very limited. The space for transportation is very small. The things you want to transport not only have quality requirements, but also volume.
There are extremely strict requirements.
This also means that many large things cannot be transported to space, or they can only be assembled in space through repeated transportation. Assembling things in space involves greater risks. Astronauts
The workload will be huge.
The cost will also be very high, as parts need to be launched into space again and again, and then astronauts will perform outer space walks to assemble them again and again.
In order to replace a lens for the Hubble Space Telescope, the United States spent hundreds of millions of dollars. You can know that assembly, replacement of parts, etc. in space is definitely not an easy task.
It's different with the anti-gravity spacecraft. It's large enough, its carrying capacity is powerful enough, and its internal space is huge enough. It can completely assemble large equipment such as the Hubble Space Telescope on the ground, and then launch it all at once.
Sex is launched into space.
Once something goes wrong and needs to be repaired or parts replaced, the equipment can be transported back to the ground for repair and upgrade. After the repair and upgrade is completed, it can be launched into space.
Without anti-gravity spacecraft and relying on traditional rockets, even powerful countries such as the United States and the European Union would eventually have to abandon the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station, which they spent huge sums of money to build.
Because once the service life is up, the cost of continuing to repair it is too high. Even the United States and the European Union cannot bear it. They have no choice but to drag these large space equipment to the earth and let it fall to the earth naturally.
, relying on the friction of the earth's atmosphere to lose fuel.
But are these space equipment really worthless?
No, even if it was launched decades ago, its technological content is still very high and it is the crystallization of human technology.
More importantly, these things cost a lot of money. The Hubble Space Telescope cost billions of dollars. As for the construction of the International Space Station, it cost 160 billion U.S. dollars, but they were all piled up with money.
You must know that these billions of U.S. dollars and 160 billion U.S. dollars are not the U.S. dollars of today, but the U.S. dollars of more than ten or twenty years ago. The U.S. dollars of that era were still very valuable.
If there is really no other way, even Americans with deep pockets would definitely be reluctant to scrap these things as a last resort.
If there is an anti-gravity spacecraft, like the Hubble Space Telescope, it can be brought directly to the ground at once, and the equipment inside it can be updated and then re-launched into space.
It not only saves a lot of costs, but is also safe and very fast. Changing things on the ground is naturally many times easier than changing things in space.
Even for a behemoth like the International Space Station, it is assembled through docking and disassembly, and then transported back to the ground for upgrading and modification, without having to endure the heartache of scrapping it.
Therefore, the emergence of anti-gravity spacecraft is definitely a milestone in the history of human spaceflight. Its significance is really great. With anti-gravity spacecraft, the interstellar space age is possible and the era of cheap space has truly entered.
