Super technology leader

#46 - The strength of the Kansas Space Center

Almost three months have passed on New Kerbin since Tang Chao first entered Kerbin.

It only took the little green people five seconds to go from confusion to renewed excitement, and then they threw themselves into exploring the new world.

From initially experimenting with various original facilities, they realized many weren't up to par, and then began upgrading them, striving to return to space orbit as soon as possible.

After that, various satellites began to enter orbit one after another. The Kerbin Space Center took on the tasks of manned spaceflight and launching large-tonnage equipment into orbit, while other companies worked hard to recover.

As of now, the first space laboratory has been launched, and two little green people have been in orbit for two days.

All of this has happened in just over eighty Kerbin days.

Currently, in addition to taking on tasks from other companies and organizations, the Space Center has also accepted Tang Chao's gourmet food planting task and the research task for a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle.

The gourmet food planting task is easy to handle, with no requirements for height or anything like that, but the research task for the single-stage-to-orbit vehicle is different. Its human-machine engineering must be designed according to the BOSS's specifications.

But the big BOSS is often not around.

Even when he is, they wouldn't dare let the big BOSS be the test pilot once the prototype vehicle is made.

That would be too dangerous.

Only Kerbin pilots are up to the task.

Even the Green Protection Association thinks so.

Kerbin also has spacecraft designed and manufactured according to the big BOSS's specifications, such as the Long March 9 and the Space Shuttle. They don't know where these technologies came from, but they're recorded in their database, and the parts are piled up in the underground warehouse.

Since they have them, they might as well use them.

That's just how capricious they are.

The Long March 9 goes without saying. The current little green people haven't used it. The database only says that the little green people used it to land on the moon, and the Kerbin astronauts said in their mission report that the manned lunar lander was not easy to use.

They have already used the Space Shuttle, not only to transport goods but also to carry people.

The astronauts' mission reports still say it's not easy to use.

"The chair is too big."

"The console is also big."

"The buttons and control sticks are too far away."

In summary, the little green people are too small, and Earth-sized spacecraft are too big.

It was because of this reason that the Space Shuttle's mission to send the little green people into space exploded once.

Fortunately, the Space Shuttle hadn't reached orbit yet. The explosion threw the little green people out, and then the strong little green people opened their parachutes and landed safely at sea. It took them a day to be found.

According to their memories, it seemed that the button was too far away, they couldn't reach it, so they directly pressed a closer one, made a mistake, and then the Space Shuttle... exploded.

Later, the engineers modified the cockpit, reduced the size of the seats, moved the seats forward closer to the console, and even gave the astronauts a stick to poke those buttons.

"I poke, poke, poke, poke~"

It can be used, but it's still troublesome.

It wasn't until Werner saw the information Tang Chao brought that he finally saw new hope.

"BOSS, the research progress on the single-stage-to-orbit vehicle you requested is very fast, but we are too small to replace you in test flights, and we can't test the human-machine effectiveness for you."

"We are very disappointed in ourselves for not being able to serve you. We didn't expect you to have such a magical idea that would solve our size dilemma all at once!"

"BOSS, you are a genius!"

"You are the guiding light on our road forward!"

"You are guiding us..."

Hearing this, Tang Chao blushed.

"Alright, alright, too many honest words sound embarrassing. Tell me your thoughts."

"Okay, BOSS, it's like this..."

Werner's idea is very simple, basically all stated in the comics and actual data.

Use mechanical methods to lengthen the hands and feet until the little green people's size becomes similar to that of humans.

On Earth, mechanical structures that enlarge the body are called humanoid mechs. It's the same on Kerbin, except that their humanoid mechs are human-sized.

The information Tang Chao brought has already pointed out the research direction, and the various technologies used in it are also clear at a glance. As the chief scientist of the Kerbin Space Center, Werner instantly matched them with Kerbin technology.

Kerbin materials and "rebar" can be used to make the basic framework, the weight can be reduced to the extreme, and the strength is not reduced.

The detection technology used for space exploration can be used for motion capture, capturing the action dynamics of the little green people.

The technology of soft landing and landing gear systems can be used in cushioning devices.

There are also computer control technology, aerospace-grade rechargeable battery pack technology, super servo technology, extraterrestrial exploration data storage technology, etc. Basically, there is no problem, just integrate them.

Since its formation, aerospace technology has been drawing on the latest achievements in basic science and other applied science fields, and highly integrates the latest achievements in various fields.

Related fields will research, design, and develop high-speed transportation vehicles such as airplanes, aircraft, spacecraft, spaceships, missiles, space stations, and lunar landing vehicles, including solid mechanics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, dynamics, navigation, automatic control, instrumentation, communication, celestial mechanics, and manufacturing.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.吧!

It can be said that aerospace is a symbol and crystallization of comprehensive cutting-edge technology, and a pearl on the crown of industry.

It is one of the most active high-tech fields and an important symbol of measuring a country's comprehensive national strength. Countries all over the world are seizing this technological commanding height.

If aerospace technology goes up, it basically means that all subjects go up, and the technology for making mechanical exoskeletons is also complete.

It just so happens that the Space Center is not fully powered on, and now it has money, so it can also spend money to ask other companies to assist in the research, and a prototype can be made in a short time.

Understanding this, Tang Chao's eyes also lit up. He estimated that Kerbin might have a way, but he didn't expect Werner to be so powerful, coming up and confirming that it could be done, and even came up with a conceptual design.

Awesome, awesome!

Kerbin can even make "small" ones, so can they make a big one for him?

He has already determined that exoskeletons are possible, but which is cooler than a mech!

And speaking of mechs, he seems to have seen Kerbin game experts make them, but limited by the rules of the game, those mechs walked like Parkinson's.

"Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking~"

He doesn't want to make those guys that are ten meters or even larger. The maneuverability of that kind of thing is too poor. This is determined by physical characteristics and there is no way to change it.

So the mech he envisions is the kind of "little guy" that is less than ten meters, or even less than five meters, that won't be so heavy as to drag down his maneuverability, and won't affect the protection ability because of its small size.

This kind of mech can move freely in cities or jungles and has strong survivability.

Of course, he is not an arms dealer. He makes this just to play, for the sake of being cool.

Really.

Look at his sincere eyes.

This is not in a hurry, let the engineers slowly work on it, let's go see the single-stage-to-orbit vehicle he commissioned first.

According to Werner, his commission is basically completed.

Sure enough, don't use the acting standards of Earthlings to comment on Kerbals, and don't use the spacecraft design strength of Earth engineers to comment on Kerbin engineers.

Aerospace is the civilization mission of the little green people, and their aerospace technology maturity is beyond the imagination of Earthlings.

Tang Chao has this awareness, but when he arrived at the conference room and saw the design plan of the Kerbin little green people, he was still shocked.

"Damn, are you planning to build twelve different models of prototypes and do experiments together?"

"Yes, BOSS, design is always design. Only by test flying real aircraft can we find the optimal design."

"..."

If the engineers on Earth knew what you said, I don't know if they would be envious to death.

Too damn rich!

But, isn't this richness mine?
