A big country of aerospace with black technology

Starport flies in the night sky, passing by the bright moon.

Like ants crawling slowly on a white jade plate.

Stand on the earth, even without a telescope.

Its huge disk structure can also be seen clearly.

If you use an optical telescope, you can even see clearer details.

Dark blue dots appear from time to time around the star port.

That is a self-rotating engine that is constantly being tested.

Since all sixteen variable-thrust autorotating engines were installed three weeks ago.

Starport started a very complicated testing work.

"The 622nd test run of the autorotation engine has ended, and the No. 11 variable thrust autorotation engine ran for 122 seconds."

After completing another test, Xue Feng sent the data back to the ground command center.

"Huh!" Liu Changchang breathed out.

Then he looked through the porthole in the direction of the earth and said, "When will this kind of day end?!"

"When can we go back?"

Since going to heaven half a year ago.

The two of them have been working intensively for half a year.

Both physically and psychologically.

All have reached their limit.

Now I almost rely on one breath to support myself.

"According to the launch schedule, we will be able to return to Earth next week for rotation."

Xue Feng rested for a while and then said.

The high-intensity work every day has exhausted both of their energy.

The initial construction work is a bit more interesting, and the two of them can still have some fresh feelings.

But since the autorotation engine was installed and the test process entered.

The boring test procedures are repeated dozens of times every day.

"How fast can the giant wheel go now?"

Liu Sheng was eating and chatting with Xue Feng.

"Big Wheel" is the nickname given to Star Port by the two of them.

Because it looks too much like a huge wheel.

The name Julu is also very appropriate.

"How much gravity can be generated?"

"The maximum gravity currently recorded is 0.3 G."

Xue Feng has been responsible for testing the autorotation engine.

Therefore, he is very sensitive to these numbers and can tell the data from previous experiments in an instant.

"Isn't that nearly double the gravity of the moon?"

Liu Sheng looked at the bright moon outside the window and said.

The gravity on the moon's surface is about one-sixth that of the Earth.

And now the star port's gravity can reach one-third of the earth's gravity.

"Yes, according to the test plan, it will eventually even be able to reach a level that is extremely close to the earth's gravity."

Liu Sheng also looked out the porthole at this time.

But his eyes were focused on the giant wheel that was slowly slowing down.

Turning to the engine, the angle of the engine nozzle can be freely adjusted.

It can accelerate the giant wheel, and it can also decelerate it.

"Wouldn't it be possible to enter the interior immediately and carry out mechanical and electrical installation work?"

Liu Sheng asked curiously after finishing his share of the meal.

During this time, he was mainly responsible for assisting.

It's not very clear about these things.

Because the construction work of the cabin has not been completed.

Therefore, the nuclear reactor has remained on the track and has not been installed.

If all tests of the autorotating engine are completed, it will be accepted.

Then he will get busy.

"That has nothing to do with us."

Xue Feng still looked out the window and said casually.

"The testing of the autorotation engine will take at least two or three months. By then we will have returned to Earth."

"maybe."

Liu Sheng retorted: "Maybe we can work inside the giant ship as the fourth or even fifth batch of staff."

"The construction work on subsequent giant ships will only increase, and we will not be allowed to rest for too long."

Liu Sheng was thinking very far.

The star port construction plan is a huge plan spanning more than ten years.

Even if they come back to earth, they have to rest for a while.

However, within one or two years, the construction work of the first phase of the Star Port will not be completed.

And judging from the current situation, the second phase of the project will start soon.

"I would like to rest for a while."

Xue Feng said after being silent for a while.

His character is not as naturally optimistic as Xu Ying and Liu Sheng.

After experiencing a long period of space life, he keenly felt that he seemed to have a tendency to depression.

"Eagle-chan's space city plan seems to be on hold now?"

Liu Sheng surfed the Internet through communication satellite China Unicom and discovered something related to them.

"The super-heavy rocket development plans originally prepared for the space city plan have been temporarily suspended."

The Space City Plan is a large-scale space station plan proposed by Yingjiang to compete with the Longguo Star Port Plan.

It is planned to build a space city with a diameter of about five kilometers in space.

Compared with the star port plan, the space city plan is more science fiction.

It has a complete material circulation system.

Even without supplies from the ground, 3,000 people can still survive for three months.

The plan is very ambitious.

But correspondingly, the technical difficulty is also greater.

Especially in terms of energy, large-scale vacuum metallurgy, material recycling, etc., almost all of them have shortcomings.

Therefore, as soon as this project was launched, it was opposed by many eagle sauce scientists.

Although they also believe that they must compete with the Dragon Kingdom in the space field.

But they all felt that such a plan was too radical.

It's like trying to develop a hydrogen bomb just after discovering the mass-energy equation.

Many of these problems cannot be solved overnight.

"Didn't they conduct a space experiment before?"

Xue Feng turned his head and asked in surprise.

It’s not like Yingjiang has done nothing in the past six months.

They also relied on the International Space Station to conduct many space engineering experiments.

Among them are many experiments on space equipment processing.

"That experiment failed."

Liu Sheng showed the tablet in his hand.

The results of that experiment are reported in detail above.

"Their material processing technology doesn't have much accumulation in this area."

"It is difficult for the processed aluminum alloy aerospace plates to meet the standards for space applications."

In fact, the material science of Eagle Sauce is not bad.

However, not much investment has been made in the specialized field of space materials science.

Therefore, it is much worse than that in China.

"This experiment is also a trigger."

Liu Sheng looked at the information on the tablet and shook his head.

"If it weren't for this hasty experiment, their space city plan might have been able to last longer."

The experiment failed, and the huge investment by the capital giants was completely lost.

As a result, the plan to continue to independently develop the space city was directly cancelled.

Instead, he began to seek to join the Dragon Kingdom's star port plan.
