Super technology leader

"To simplify this mission as much as possible, I've put a lot of thought into it."

"For the rocket body, I chose the Jumbo-64 fuel tank, the largest rocket at 2.5 meters in diameter. The core stage and boosters are all this size. It's easier to manufacture when the diameter is uniform."

"I've also reduced the variety of engines. The boosters, first stage, and second stage engines are all RE-M3 'Mainsail' engines. They're very reliable."

"And there are unified spherical fuel tanks, the same type of wiring, the same type of…"

Tang Chao pointed at the big screen, explaining the features of this rocket to them one by one.

This rocket truly embodies the minimalist style. All kinds of equipment and parts are unified, which is extremely friendly to manufacturers.

The smaller the diameter of the rocket body, the easier it is to manufacture. From his observation, a diameter of two and a half meters is not difficult for domestic private aerospace companies. They can already manufacture those with diameters of more than three meters without any issues.

Making it 'easier' for manufacturers is 'boosting' his plan. This is also why he doesn't want to use the Long March 9 for the competition.

First of all, the Long March 9 is a national masterpiece, used by the country to target the moon. If he were to use it to target the moon, the higher-ups would lose face.

The higher-ups might not care too much if they lost some money, but sometimes, losing face can really make them angry.

So he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.

Moreover, the Long March 9 is too big, with a height of 100 meters and a diameter of ten meters, as well as ultra-high thrust engines, rocket bodies made of extreme materials, and so on. There are too many restrictions.

Before buying his technology, even the national team struggled to manufacture such things, let alone the private companies below.

Struggling would delay the time and waste a lot of money.

Tang Chao always emphasizes diligence and thrift, and he certainly wouldn't spend such unnecessary money.

And there's one most important thing.

Even if he really used the Long March 9 as the competition rocket, there would have to be a launchpad in China that could launch such a large rocket.

There simply isn't one.

Such launchpads are only just beginning to be built.

If the rocket is manufactured first, but the launchpad hasn't been built yet, and they can only wait, who could stand that?

So, a rocket body diameter of two and a half meters is better. The technical content is relatively low, and even if they don't use the technology he provides, private companies can still build it, at most, the empty weight will be a little higher.

After listening to Tang Chao's explanation, the technical personnel who had just started working today agreed very much. This rocket is really suitable for this competition.

With mature technology and low manufacturing difficulty, it should be able to be manufactured in a short time.

For the competition, time is truly life.

Moreover, after it is built, it can be used not only for the competition but also for their usual work.

Don't underestimate this rocket's liftoff weight of only 400 tons, but the payload ratio is very good, reaching 4.5%, theoretically able to carry 18 tons of weight into near-Earth orbit.

However, theory is just theory, their rocket is too thin and not strong enough.

If it really carries a payload of 18 tons, it will definitely bring abnormal pressure to the rocket body. In addition, the rocket has to withstand a lot of G-force and shaking during flight, so the probability of rocket failure will greatly increase.

In short, it can be transported, but the success rate is not guaranteed.

It doesn't matter, if the theoretical load cannot be transported, it is still possible to transport 13 tons of cargo into near-Earth orbit while ensuring safety.

This comprehensive strength is even more powerful than Tianxia's 'model worker' Long March 3 series rockets.

In addition, the minimalist structure of this rocket, with a unified rocket body diameter and a unified main engine model, is very conducive to the development of a modular manufacturing model, which can further save costs while improving the success rate.

Moreover, with the main engine already available, other rockets can also be developed.

Good heavens, a 140-ton thrust liquid rocket engine is definitely the largest thrust in the current domestic private aerospace field. Other private companies have a maximum sea-level thrust of more than 70 tons, less than 80 tons of single-engine thrust.

Even compared with the national team, before the relevant technology of the Long March 9 is unveiled, the 140-ton thrust is not inferior to anyone.

Based on this engine, developing a large-diameter rocket body and connecting several engines in parallel can definitely develop a large launch vehicle.

The thrust of eight engines can be stacked to the level of the Long March 5, and the number of engines is still two less than the Long March 5.

This is the benefit of a high-thrust engine.

If you are bolder, stack a dozen or twenty engines, learn from the Heavy Falcon, and you can build a rocket for landing on the moon.

One engine has such capabilities, the company's future is definitely bright.

Unfortunately, the company's official factory is not yet in sight. These are just later ideas. The most important thing now is the lunar landing grand prix.

"Boss, the 2.5-meter diameter rocket body can be manufactured in my previous company. Their main rocket now uses a 2.5-meter diameter rocket body. It's the fastest to find them to manufacture it. As long as the requirements are sent, they can start production immediately."

"Okay, noted."

"Regarding the engine manufacturing, boss, I feel that Blue Sword and Jiuzhou can build it. Their liquid rocket engine technology is the strongest in the domestic private aerospace field. They have already mastered the manufacturing technology of 80-ton thrust and are breaking through to more than 100 tons."

"Okay, also noted."

"Boss, I know a company that does very well in flight control technology…"

"Boss, my previous company did a good job in making separation rings…"

"Boss, my teacher has a small company, they do radar communication…"

The latest novels are first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

"Boss, my classmate's company does a good job in making solar panels…"

Everyone said one sentence after another, and soon they found all the parts manufacturers for the rocket and detector. This is the power of the circle.

Even if you don't know, someone in your circle knows.

Obviously, Tianxia's aerospace industry has reached a certain scale, but it has not been effectively used.

The higher-ups must also know this, so they have introduced a formal aerospace law, planning to properly integrate domestic aerospace resources, formulate a new aerospace strategy, and ensure a win-win development for private aerospace companies and the national team.

Moreover, his account has begun to have 'scattered money' remitted into it.

'Scattered money' means that in addition to the fixed 1 billion yuan remittance at the beginning of the month, there are hundreds of millions or tens of millions of yuan credited every few days.

Obviously, the higher-ups have begun to use his technology to make major strategic deployments, accelerate the escape and sinking speed of high-end technology, and begin to upgrade the domestic civilian field technology.

So he got the commission mentioned in the previous contract.

What the higher-ups do, Tang Chao can also do.

This time, he doesn't plan to spend a penny to find private aerospace companies to process parts, and he also plans to let those companies give him money.

He wants to exchange technology for parts.

Hearing him say this, everyone present was stunned.

General companies keep their technology very secret and must not let their peers learn it.

As the saying goes, 'Competitors are enemies'.

Just like those mobile phone manufacturers, they say 'friendly business, friendly business' every day, but when they release new products, they use the mobile phones of 'friendly business' to highlight that their new mobile phones are better. There is no meaning of 'friendly business' at all.

How can my boss really want to be a friendly business and spread the company's new technology to the outside world.

Faced with everyone's suspicious faces, Tang Chao smiled slightly: "I have always believed that the saying 'A single flower does not make a spring, a hundred flowers bloom and the garden is full of spring' is very correct."

Being outstanding all the time is very good, but it not only represents beauty, but also represents loneliness and the winter that has not yet passed.

The flowers bloom too early.

The dawn before daybreak is the darkest, and before the real spring arrives, any warmth represents a more severe cold.

It was very warm this day, the flowers bloomed, but a cold wave came the next day and they died immediately.
