Chapter 381 New Engine

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 that the situation was stronger than the people.

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 suddenly 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These issues could be shelved in the past, but now that the Eastern Tang Dynasty is powerful, shelving the disputes is no longer applicable. It is time to speak on the basis of the territory that has been ours 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 Committee successively issued a series of legal provisions, such as the "Spacecraft Technical Standards", "Space Station Technical Standards", "Space Navigation Management Regulations", "Space Industry Management Law", "Space Security Law", etc. wait.

Although these legal provisions were promulgated by the Space Development Council itself, to a certain extent, these legal provisions have great 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, Dongdao, Cosmic Power Company.

Universe Power Company is one of the subsidiaries of Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group and is responsible for the production and research and development of aerospace-specific engines.

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 engine being assembled and asked, "National Day, is this engine a new product?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, this is a new generation engine developed by our company 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.

"Our engine project was established in December, and the new generation 500-ton spacecraft was just 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 explained.

Li Jianhua opened the holographic watch to check the situation and found that Universe Power Company had indeed approved an engine project in December.

"Is it too hasty 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 launch resources of the mass projector 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, where is the progress of the new engine?" Li Jianhua asked.

Lin Guoqing pointed to the engine in front of him and replied: "We have now reached the test run stage. This is the second prototype. The first one is in the workshop next door."

Lin Guoqing took Li Jianhua to inspect the workshop for more than half an hour before Li Jianhua left with others.

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 supercomputer 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 strong, and those with problems have long been excluded. After all, brain readers are unsolvable, and 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 result of the supercomputer simulation. Take a look at it yourself."

After taking 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 turned on the holographic computer and checked his design plan. After a while of troubleshooting, he discovered that one of the parameters was mistaken, and 24.7161 became 24.1161.

Data errors are very common in the research and development process, especially in those very complex research and development projects. The data can easily be 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 in terms of high temperature resistance and structural strength, it is stronger than the first-generation engine. .”

"Hybrid gel is really a good thing." Cai Xin exclaimed.

"This mixed gel is of course a good thing. After the combustion chamber and nozzle of our new generation engine are made of this material, the power has been improved, 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 engine is just a minor modification. The real major modification is the third-generation engine, which is still the engine that Cai Xin and the others are currently developing.

This engine, in their design plan, is expected to weigh about 6.5 tons and provide power between 600 and 700 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 strong boosting effect to the further development of engines, and even made the design simpler and more crude.
