Galaxy Technology Empire

"...We are serious about the sea of ​​stars."

Seriously? Are you trying to fool people?

At that time, Lao Maoxiong believed in the evil of the Mi Li family and was crippled by the Star Wars plan. In the end, the economy collapsed and disintegrated. Of course, Ge Tu was indispensable for this, otherwise Lao Maoxiong could have sustained it for a while longer.

“Then it’s time to ask questions from reporters.”

After Wang Tu finished speaking, he motioned for Zhao Hongxing to come up and answer.

The first one is of course a national news reporter. This is something that cannot be shaken.

"Excuse me, when will the construction plan start and when is it expected to be completed?"

Zhao Hongxing replied with a smile: "The construction plan started in February this year and is expected to be completed by the end of this year or January next year."

Hearing this answer, everyone thought in unison: too fast!

A reporter from Science and Technology Daily stood up and asked:

"In the Jianmu plan, a vacuum pipeline with an internal diameter of 96 meters and a vertical length of 60 kilometers is to be built. How to realize this vacuum pipeline?"

Wang Tu pointed to the vacuum pipe in the holographic projection and explained:

"We will use carbon nanotubes and some new materials to complete it. The technical demonstration of this vacuum pipeline has been completed, and we are confident and determined to complete it."

Obviously Wang Tu's words are half true and half false. The vacuum pipes in the holographic model are in an excited state, which means that no one will know which cable is a vacuum pipe before it is put into use.

And this kind of half-truth and half-falsehood is the most difficult to distinguish.

In particular, there is a construction animation next to the holographic model, which shows construction workers building vacuum pipelines.

This kind of deception is terrible. If you follow it accidentally, you may suffer heavy losses.

A reporter from Yangcheng Daily asked: "Excuse me, what are the specific parameters of the Qinglong manned spacecraft and Xuanwu transport spacecraft?"

"Please look at the holographic projection!" Zhao Hongxing clicked on the holographic projection, and the conceptual models of the Qinglong-class manned spacecraft and the Xuanwu-class transport spacecraft appeared in it, along with some parameters.

"This is the conceptual model and specific parameters of the Qinglong manned spacecraft and the Xuanwu transport spacecraft."

The audience and reporters took photos and videos inside, while Elon Musk, who was watching the live broadcast, frowned when he looked at the parameters on the model.

With a total weight of 100 tons, it can transport 8 people and 21 tons of materials, or 61 tons of materials.

Calculating the Falcon Heavy's low-Earth orbit (LEO) payload of 63.8 tons and its maximum takeoff weight of 1,428 tons, the "Falcon Heavy" carrying coefficient is 0.0447 (that is, the payload is 4.47%).

The Falcon Heavy's geosynchronous orbit (GTO) carrying capacity coefficient is as high as 0.0187 (1.87%).

But compared with the Qinglong-class manned spacecraft, the Qinglong-class payload is 21% plus 8 astronauts; while the Xuanwu-class transport spacecraft has a payload of 61%.

Although the payload of the Xuanwu-class and Falcon Heavy is almost the same, it even slightly exceeds the Xuanwu-class.

But Elon Musk is not too happy, because the Xuanwu class can be launched quickly. Judging from the information disclosed by Wang Tu, the Qinglong class and Xuanwu class will not take more than 10 hours from preparation to launch.

He didn't know how the Eastern Tang people did it, but if it was true, the advantage of the Heavy Falcon would be gone.

After all, the Falcon Heavy launch vehicle uses liquid fuel, that is, kerosene/liquid oxygen. Even if the Space Exploration Company improves the filling of fuel and oxidizer, it will not be able to fly for a week.

Facing the Qinglong class and Xuanwu class that can launch two or three times a day, there is no comparison at all.

In addition, whether the payload of the Falcon Heavy can really reach 63.8 tons is still a question worth discussing.

Space Exploration Company's Falcon launch vehicle technology was originally the crystallization of NASA's technology. Elon Musk's team used it to optimize and commercialize it. It is essentially the foundation laid by NASA.

But no matter how awesome NASA is, it has never dared to develop such a weird thing with 27 parallel engines in its history, because the explosion of Mao Xiong’s N1 can really blind a dog’s eyes, so it is developing a high-thrust rocket like the Saturn V in a down-to-earth manner. That's the kingly way.

The heresy of Falcon Heavy itself also shows that the Mili family is now unable to revive its aerospace glory, and can only use this opportunistic method to show the world its muscles, or chicken.

Through this structure of many engines connected in parallel, it announces to the world that its rocket control technology is advanced or even better. Supplemented by the prospect of commercialization, it contrasts with the development of Milijia's aerospace industry.

However, there is one big flaw with Falcon Heavy's flight, which is the Tesla Roadster.

You should know that the test flights of heavy rockets must carry counterweights and instrument compartments to verify flight performance.

But the Falcon Heavy has only flown a Tesla weighing more than 2 tons. If he wants to prove the load capacity of the Falcon Heavy, Musk has to launch a Caterpillar excavator to prove the problem.

Unfortunately, the Falcon Heavy payload bay doesn't seem to be able to accommodate such a large payload.

I don’t know how the Falcon Heavy will develop in the future. If it is still used as a load compartment on the top of the rocket, the Falcon Heavy fairing must be significantly modified to accommodate such a load. This will require long-term experiments to complete.

Unless it carries a load to the sky like the Mao Xiong Energy, it can exert the carrying capacity advertised on paper of the existing layout.

Judging from Musk's trepidation about the Falcon Heavy's first flight, carrying only a 2-ton payload, he has no confidence in the reliability of the Falcon Heavy.

Therefore, the rocket payload was changed to a Tesla car for the first flight. Otherwise, if a 60-ton counterweight was attached, God knows what trouble these 27 Merlin engines would cause.

Thinking back on Dongtang's Fat 5, the reliability of only ten engines is still stumbling. It's really hard to say how reliable the 27 engines of the Heavy Falcon are.

Whether it is the carrying capacity or the overall reliability, the Falcon Heavy needs to be discussed. Otherwise, why would the Milijia astronauts take Mao Xiong's Soyuz rocket to go to the space station?

The Soyuz was created in the 1950s and has been in service for more than half a century, longer than Smith water heaters. The reliability of aerospace activities is not just a PPT presentation. It is really about spending money to buy peace of mind.

Musk is also aware of the problems with his Falcon Heavy. If the Qinglong and Xuanwu classes are real, the Falcon launch vehicle may have to go out of business.

When he thought of this, he was one head ahead of the other. Tesla could barely survive now, but it was Galaxy Technology that was so proud.

SpaceX looks in danger.

…

A reporter from the Global Times stood up and asked, "Excuse me, can all countries apply to join this plan?"

"Of course, as long as they meet the standards, we will not reject any like-minded friends." Zhao Hongxing replied with a smile.

As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

A reporter from the Mirror asked: "Will such a large-scale investment affect social and economic development?"

This question brought out the inner feelings that domestic reporters did not dare to ask, and everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

Zhao Hongxing had expected it and replied with a smile:

"This problem is unfounded. Our investment is divided into five years, which is equivalent to 1 trillion yuan a year. This investment amount will promote social and economic development."

A reporter from the New York Times stood up and asked: "Does this plan contain a special purpose component?"

"The nature of our plan is the same as the Mi Li family's space plan." Wang Tu spread his hands and replied.

"Uh..." The New York Times reporter was speechless. Of course he knew Wang Tu's subtext, which was that if the Mi Li family can do it, I can do the same.

As for whether Mi Li's spacecraft has any special uses, you can ask NASA.

In the last century, Lao Mao Xiong and Mi Lijia launched quite a few nuclear-powered satellites. As for whether these satellites were real satellites, no one knows.

Recently, the Mi Li family has withdrawn from the group in various ways, and seems to have plans to withdraw from the Outer Space Treaty and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

A reporter from Dongdao Daily stood up and asked, "Excuse me, does the Jianmu Plan have a commercial promotion plan?"

"Yes, we will develop projects such as space tourism." Wang Tu replied.

With this question over, the joint press conference between the space agency and Galaxy Technology officially came to an end.

However, the subsequent impact is still being fermented.
