Galaxy Technology Empire

December 1st.

The International Committee on Outer Space issued an emergency announcement stating that due to the impact of force majeure, the International Council on Outer Space will be postponed.

As for when the extension will be extended, they did not say clearly. Obviously they were afraid of setting a date. If Dongtang and the others didn't come by then, they would be really embarrassed.

Johnson and Rhine have already reported the results of the conversation to the Mi Li Family and the Western Continent Alliance.

But what they didn't know was that they had a traitor in their midst, and that was the Sun Country Space Agency.

Since the six major consortiums of the Sun Kingdom joined the Galaxy Consortium in a very secretive manner, the two parties have shown fierce competition during their cooperation. For example, in regions such as Southeast Asia and Tu'ao, the competition is really fierce, and there is even tit-for-tat.

Therefore, the Milijia and the Xizhou Alliance were not too wary of the Sun Kingdom, so when they discussed some matters, they did not avoid the representatives of the Sun Kingdom. In this way, some of the details of the Milijia and the others were learned by the Galaxy Consortium.

Faced with this deceptive situation, Rhine and Johnson have been hit by obstacles at every turn these days. Every time they wanted to put forward any conditions or cooperation, they were completely refuted by Zhao Hongxing.

The melancholy of Rhine and Johnson is like the endless flow of water in the Yangtze River. Especially Johnson, he is the most miserable because he is a Belgian. If it were not for his status as the chairman of the Committee on Outer Space, he would not come here to suffer this bird. crime.

the other side.

Bazhong base.

Li Zhongting sent a test report to Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others. This test report was a comprehensive test report for Xuanwu-level No. 001, No. 003, and No. 005.

Space Development Committee, inside the holographic conference room.

"Judging from the test results, the overall problem of the spacecraft is not serious. Aging was detected in three locations, namely the F136 area of ​​the main engine nozzle, which was slightly deformed; the first layer of insulation layer G76 and G164 on the top of the spacecraft. The insulation layer was burned through." Li Zhongting pointed to the report and explained to everyone.

"Both Xuanwu-class No. 002 and No. 004 at the Kaohsiung base have engine nozzle deformation. I read your report and found that your No. 001 and No. 005 also have this problem. It seems to be a common problem." Wang Tu said with a frown. .

"Indeed, I think there may be a problem in the F136 area of ​​the engine nozzle. We have already ordered the R\u0026D department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of this location and strive to solve this problem as soon as possible." Li Zhongting agreed with Wang Tu's statement.

After all, four of the six airships had engine nozzle deformation. This was definitely not an isolated phenomenon and they must pay attention to it.

Wang Tu then clicked on the heat insulation layer on the top of the spacecraft and said: "The phenomenon of local areas of the first layer of heat insulation layer being burned through occurred in Xuanwu-class No. 003 and No. 006. It is most likely caused by errors in the processing of materials. .”

"This problem is actually very easy to solve." Wang Guanghai said suddenly.

"Oh? Lao Wang, do you have any suggestions?" Li Zhongting asked quickly.

"You are fans of the authorities. That mixed gel is a very good insulation material. The Qinglong class I am responsible for has now switched to this mixed gel. I found that this mixed gel is really a good thing." Wang Guanghai said as he added One document is sent to everyone.

Everyone quickly opened the document sent by Wang Guanghai, and the one who paid the most attention to it was Li Zhongting. After studying it carefully, he realized that he had underestimated the mixed gel.

"It's incredible. It can reduce the thickness of the insulation layer by 80% and the weight by 60%. The insulation effect is 6 to 7 times that of before, and it can withstand the extreme temperature of 14,000 degrees Celsius." Zhao Hongxing exclaimed.

"Not only that, its strength is also amazing, about 80% stronger than high-strength titanium alloy. In addition, its isolation effect on cosmic rays is very powerful." Wang Guanghai said with a smile.

"Have you tested it? I mean the cosmic ray isolation?" Li Zhongting asked urgently.

"Of course, how could I miss such an important thing? The mixed gel with a thickness of 1 mm is equivalent to a lead plate of about 23 mm, and the thickness of 3.2 mm reaches the maximum, which is equivalent to a lead plate of 267 mm thickness, and then increase Thickness, cosmic ray isolation effect is not significantly improved." Wang Guanghai explained.

Li Zhongting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Huang is simply a genius. The thing he invented at random not only solved the sealing problem of vacuum pipelines, but is also of great use for heat insulation, cosmic ray isolation, and component assembly."

"However, the isolation effect for neutron rays is only about 20%, and the isolation effect for gamma rays is only about 3%, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment!" Wang Guanghai called up the data and said.

"Old Wang, don't be greedy. This effect is already the strongest among the materials known to mankind, and the ray isolation material is the strongest." Li Zhongting scolded with a smile.

"In this case, we will change the heat insulation layer material to mixed gel, and also coat the spacecraft with a 3.2 mm mixed gel film, which can reduce a lot of radiation isolation layer." Wang Tu agreed.

"I agree, but there is no need to make major changes to Xuanwu-class No. 001 to No. 006. After all, we have many tasks ahead, so just apply a layer of coating." Zhao Hongxing suggested.

"Okay, it's decided." Li Zhongting nodded in agreement.

After they discussed the details, Wang Tu changed the subject: "Due to the breakthrough progress made by the Airship Research Institute's vacuum airship, the latest ring-shaped airship Type 30 can already maintain a flight altitude of about 96 kilometers above sea level. Our It is no longer necessary for the space station to stay in a low-Earth orbit of 160 kilometers."

"Is it the kind of airship that uses vacuum instead of hydrogen?" Zhao Hongxing asked.

"Speaking of which, the success of this vacuum airship also depends on the mixed gel material. The vacuum bladder is made of mixed gel." Wang Tu explained with a smile.

"This material is amazing, it's a universal material." Li Zhongting was impressed.

"Let's get down to business. The new Kaohsiung Space Station will complete its orbit raising on December 3, raising its orbital height to around 450 kilometers of low-Earth orbit." Wang Tu said the plan.

"Then you should raise the orbit first. We need to study the orbit raising plan of the New Bazhong Space Station." Zhao Hongxing did not want to act in such a hasty manner.

Wang Tu nodded: "Okay, if you want to raise the orbit, just send us a notice."

"No problem. After you raise the orbit, we will launch the Xuanwu-class No. 001 and send two space station cabins up." Zhao Hongxing said the Dongtang Space Agency's plan.

"when?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th."

"By the way, are the representatives of the Outer Space Committee and the Hans family still in Bazhong Space City?" Wang Tu suddenly asked.

Zhao Hongxing nodded: "Still, they also want to visit the launch of No. 4, I agree."

"Do they still want to buy a mass projector?"

"Yes."

Wang Tu curled his lips and shook his head and said: "These two guys are just pioneers, the real master is really calm."

"If they don't want to come, then drag them down slowly and see who can't sit still?" Zhao Hongxing said nonchalantly.

As Zhao Hongxing said, Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium are not in a hurry now. The longer the delay is, the better it will be for them.

The ones who should really be worried are the Mi Li Family, Xizhou Alliance, and Mao Xiong.

As the aerospace scale of Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium becomes larger and larger, Zhao Hongxing does not believe that these guys will be indifferent. If they are really indifferent, Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium will be even happier.
