Super technology leader

In terms of usefulness, the Heavenly Court Space Station is definitely more useful. Although it is lighter in mass, its mass is all solid, and the proportion of "water" is very small.

But sometimes human comparisons are quite subjective, and this time humans have fallen in love with the "water" of the Yishan Super Rocket.

The Heavenly Court Space Station is large, but it is in space. Even if it is built in the future, only a few people will be able to see it up close. Apart from watching videos, most people can only see a small white dot on the ground with their own eyes.

Moreover, even if you watch videos or live broadcasts of the docking, you won't see any big movements, no flashes, no sound effects, and no exciting scenes.

The only time a big movement occurs is when the Heavenly Court Space Station explodes.

But the Yishan rocket is different, it is launched from the ground.

Navigator will build a super launch pad to allow this 10,000-ton rocket to take off from the ground.

The launch of a thousand-ton rocket is shocking enough, wouldn't the launch of this ten-thousand-ton rocket be earth-shattering?

Moreover, the completion time of the Heavenly Court Space Station must be after the maiden flight of the Yishan rocket, after all, it needs the assistance of Yishan to be built.

The ones in the back are not as good-looking as the ones in the front.

After watching the launch of the Yishan rocket, watching the docking and construction of the Heavenly Court Space Station will not be delayed, you can be happy all the time!

As a melon-eating netizen, I am really a happy yuppie today!

"Wow, today's press conference is really exciting, with both a super space station and a super rocket. When it comes to making trouble, Navigator has never lost!"

"Yishan Rocket is awesome! This name is great. 160 meters high and 20 meters in diameter, isn't it a mountain standing on the ground?"

"Haha, more than that, if five Yishan rockets stand together, that's the Five Finger Mountain!"

"Yishan refers to moving mountains away, right? The Yishan rocket can transport 280 tons of cargo into space. 280 tons is also a mountain for ordinary people, which is about the combined mass of the Tiangong Space Station, the Starlight Inn, and the small simulated gravity cabin."

"Hey, that's true, the mass is almost the same, this is a Matryoshka doll."

"The super rocket is worthy of being a super rocket. This scale reminds me of the Hailong rocket on the drawing, a kind of insane rocket!"

"I also thought of it, this Yishan is an upgraded version of Hailong, right? Although the carrying capacity is lower and the mass is smaller, the technical route is obviously more complete and the technology content is higher."

"This rocket is amazing, but I don't know when it will have its maiden flight. I haven't heard that Navigator has this plan before. Is it still a PPT rocket?"

"No way, other aerospace companies and agencies don't know, but since Navigator has already held a press conference, it should prove that it is coming soon, just like that small simulated gravity cabin, did you hear the news before?"

"Indeed, according to Navigator's urine, the Yishan rocket may have been built almost, and the maiden flight may be seen within a month!"

"Yes, Navigator has never disappointed me in this regard!"

"Hey, if that's the case, is the fact that Navigator started building a new launch pad at Red Potato Island Launch Center related to this before?"

"Yes, some people say that it may be to build a new launch pad for the Yuanhang, and perhaps a new Yuanhang rocket will be in service. Now it seems that it is definitely not a new Yuanhang, and it is likely built for the Yishan super rocket."

"I think this idea is very reasonable..."

It is indeed reasonable. Red Potato Island is now an important maritime cargo distribution center, with ships coming and going every day. The Red Potato Island Launch Center is on it, and such a big move to build a launch pad naturally cannot be concealed from others.

Either they took pictures out of curiosity and uploaded them to the Internet, or they went to see it specifically. Anyway, there are many related photos and videos from various angles online.

However, some people have checked Navigator's official website, and there is not much description of this project, only that a new launch pad is being built.

Red Potato Island belongs to Navigator's launch center, and the only thing Navigator needs a launch pad for is the Yuanhang rocket, and the newly built launch pad is unlikely to be used for super-heavy rockets of other companies or institutions.

After all, super-heavy rockets are not used frequently, and companies and institutions that own super-heavy rockets have their own launch pads and will not use other institutions' at all.

So people feel that this is for the new Yuanhang rocket, and speculate that Navigator will have big moves in the future, so big that a recoverable super-heavy rocket is not enough.

However, some people disagree with this view. After all, the utilization rate of super-heavy rockets is indeed low, and Navigator's Yuanhang super-heavy rocket is extremely advanced.

Navigator only has one Yuanhang rocket, but it is idle most of the time.

Because after it is recovered, it takes less than five days from inspection and maintenance to being pulled back to the launch pad for use. Even if it is well prepared, it can be launched once a week.

What major project requires a rocket with a payload of more than 100 tons to launch 60 times a year?

After all, there are more than 50 weeks in a year, and launching once a week is more than 50 times. A task that one Yuanhang rocket cannot handle is at least more than 60 tasks a year.

To calculate purely based on payload data, this is equivalent to launching more than 6,000 tons of materials into space orbit a year.

Of course, the specific situation cannot be calculated in this way. Take the construction of a space station as an example, some modules or components are not heavy, but their special structure means that the rocket cannot take off fully loaded, and even a huge fairing only contains a strange steel frame before taking off.

So reduce it by half, reduce it to launching about 3,000 tons of material a year, which is not a small amount. The International Space Station has been built by more than a dozen countries for more than ten years and only has more than 400 tons.

Other people used this data to refute, saying that the launch pad under construction is not for the Yuanhang rocket.

Navigator doesn't need to build another Yuanhang rocket.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

But the original group of people thought it was necessary.

The two groups of people refused to accept each other and were about to quarrel.

How could Navigator let them quarrel, so it didn't take long for the small simulated gravity cabin to be launched, and it also docked with the Tianxia official Tiangong Space Station, forming a larger and more functional space station.

Just when people thought the big one was coming, the big one really came.

The 2,500-ton Heavenly Court Space Station!

Hey, it's almost 3,000 tons.

The space station has many large modules. I wonder if they will be built in the sky or built on the ground and then launched as a whole?

After that, the Yishan super rocket came out.

Okay, the new launch pad also matches.

Awesome!

The second group of people won, and the first group of people also cheered.

After all, they are just watching the excitement. Winning or losing is not important. The important thing is that there are more and more giant human spectacles.

It is undeniable that building giant spectacles can indeed inspire people to a certain extent, and the stronger the practicality and the stronger the directionality, the greater the added value of inspiring people.

There is a joke that "spectacles mislead the country", this statement is one-sided.

Those purely ornamental spectacles and those that are built knowing that the strength is insufficient mislead the country.

And they are not completely useless, but their role is far less than the designers imagined.

It's a case of getting half the result with twice the effort.

But the Heavenly Court Space Station is different. If it is built, then flying brightly in space will definitely become a guiding light for human progress and become the "Navigator" of human civilization.

This is what "Navigator Tang" of Navigator Company wants to do.
