Super technology leader

"A powerful rocket!"

"No worse than any super rocket in development!"

That's what people thought when they saw the technical specifications of the "Voyager".

Let's not even talk about the Long March 9. It's been very popular recently, with a core stage diameter of 9.5 meters, a fairing diameter of 7.5 meters, a takeoff weight of 4137 tons, and a low Earth orbit carrying capacity of 180 tons, even up to 200 tons.

Then there's Starship, or rather, the booster + Starship. The fully recoverable Starship on top is the main body.

Its data has been revised many times. The current core stage diameter is 9 meters, and the diameter of the Starship for transporting cargo and people is also 9 meters. Because it needs to be recovered, the low Earth orbit carrying capacity is about 150 tons.

However, its carrying capacity to the Moon and Mars is incredibly impressive, both over 100 tons.

Because it can be "refueled in the air."

Starship is a big guy. As long as it is refueled several times in orbit, it can transport hundreds of tons of cargo to the Moon and Mars.

However, whether safe and stable "orbital refueling" can be achieved in the future remains to be seen.

Then there's the pigeon king SLS, with a core stage diameter of 10 meters, a manned version fairing diameter of 5 meters, a cargo version of 10 meters, a manned version takeoff mass of 2500 tons, a cargo version of 2950 tons, a manned version low Earth orbit capacity of 70 tons, and a cargo version of 130 tons.

Finally, there's the "little brother" New Glenn, with a core stage of 7 meters, a fairing diameter of 7 meters, a takeoff weight of 1500 tons, and a low Earth orbit carrying capacity of... 45 tons.

Because of the first-stage rocket recovery, the carrying capacity is affected. If it is not recovered, it can reach more than 60 tons.

Originally, the Falcon Heavy rocket could also be on the list, but its 3.7-meter core stage diameter is too weak, and its low Earth orbit carrying capacity of more than 60 tons is often questioned, so many people do not regard it as a super rocket.

The "Voyager" rocket has a takeoff mass of 2500 tons and a low Earth orbit carrying capacity of 110 tons, which is quite good among these super rockets of different sizes.

And looking at the design, the "Voyager" rocket also has a recovery plan. The first-stage rocket recovery method is similar to that of the Falcon Heavy, both using grid fins and landing gear, and the "Voyager's" core stage is thicker, making it easier to stand firmly than the bamboo pole-like Heavy Falcon core stage.

The most powerful thing is that the second-stage rocket of "Voyager" is also going to be recovered!

But not the whole thing, only the five "Super Vector" engines are recovered.

The "Super Vector" engine is an upgraded version of the KS-25 "Vector" engine, with thrust increased from 95 tons to 110 tons.

Its recovery plan is to wait for the "vehicle-rocket separation", then the engine also separates from the second-stage rocket body, and then opens an inflatable heat shield for orbital reentry.

The inflatable heat shield was one of the two onboard experiments of the Long March 5B carrier rocket. The orbital reentry was abnormal and considered a failure.

That's what Tang planned to use, although there hasn't been a successful one on Earth, Kanxing has already mass-produced it.

It is also divided into several size levels for easy use.

And looking at Captain Tang's introduction, many technologies of this rocket have been overcome.

For example, the 200-ton thrust "Super Mainsail" engine. With the 140-ton "Mainsail" engine as a base, there is a track to follow for the upgrade.

And the PPT also talked about technical problems. Navigator Company used new materials and increased the chamber pressure, which has been overcome.

The "Super Vector" engine is the same.

Originally, the "Super Mainsail" burned liquid oxygen kerosene, and the "Super Vector" burned liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen. Compared to "liquid oxygen methane" fuel, they are not suitable as fuel for recovery rockets.

Also because of those new materials, their recovery became possible.

And Navigator Company has the core technology for those materials, which, like inflatable heat shields, come from the hands of the little green men.

There is also a 5-meter diameter rocket body. This technology is really not top-notch, after all, there are 7-meter, 8-meter, 9-meter, and 10-meter rocket bodies.

Making the rocket body diameter larger or smaller, in addition to technical limitations, there are also site limitations and demand limitations.

Tianxia has long used rocket bodies with a diameter of more than 3 meters, because before the Binhai Launch Center was put into use, they had to take a train to the launch center in the mountains, and the train tunnel restricted the size of the rocket body diameter.

People here have begun to savor it carefully. Is this the legendary poor technology?

If this is poor technology, then they also want to be "technically poor."

And it's not over yet, the most important thing is that they saw the back and found that this rocket is not a pure PPT.

After introducing those, Captain Tang walked out of the conference room and came to their factory, showing the "Super Mainsail" engine, "Super Vector" engine, five-meter alloy forged ring, new storage tank sections and other physical objects to the camera!

With physical objects, it shows that the new rocket has begun to be manufactured.

Finally, standing in front of the "Super Mainsail" engine, Captain Tang solemnly said to the camera: "I still say the same thing, I am very disappointed in America."

"After winning first place in the Lunar Grand Prix, we did not stop or be proud, but are actively preparing our new rocket, preparing to contribute to the aerospace industry of all mankind."

"But they kicked us out of the lunar contract bidding team without any inquiry or notification, and said that our technology is not good."

"Then I can't help but ask, if the technology of the first place in the Lunar Grand Prix is not good, then is there any need to compare the subsequent second, third, fourth, etc.?"

"Is America Aerospace Agency still the light of mankind?"

"Can it lead mankind to the stars?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Good fellow, eating melons, eating melons, crazy eating melons!

They have also shouted the slogan "for all mankind".

For a while, they were indeed doing this, and the government was very supportive, throwing money like crazy.

Later, after the White Bear Alliance dissolved, the government found that "for all mankind" was too tiring and unnecessary. It's better to do it for themselves first.

After that, many aerospace projects were cut, and the long-awaited space city, lunar colony, and Mars colony plans were gone.

Now Tang You is using the slogan "for all mankind" to turn against them, and everyone knows there is a good show to watch.

Just like Captain Tang said, the detailed technology of the "Voyager" rocket, plus some parts have been manufactured, it must not be a matter of one or two days, it must have been prepared for a long time.

As for why it was not announced at the beginning, perhaps they just wanted to stand on a higher level before announcing it.

After all, the "Kanxing Lunar Landing Department" team was initially ridiculed for just playing games and joining in the aerospace competition.

Without sufficient results, they would only be ridiculed more for announcing this plan, thinking they were whimsical.

So, they won first place.

This is the first step they have risen.

After they won first place, before the press conference was over, America directly canceled their qualification to compete for the lunar contract without any communication, which is too unreasonable.

There must be some shady dark dealings.

Those who originally believed in conspiracy theories immediately became excited, with Americans being the most excited.

"That's right, they do this every time!"

"Although I can't build rockets, I know that super rockets must be very troublesome to prepare. This company just won first place and may be preparing information to report, but they directly canceled their qualification to participate. I find it hard to believe that there is no secret deal here."

"This is monopoly, naked monopoly! Oppose monopoly!!"

"freedom!!!!!"

Uh, this last sentence will never be missing.

Then, many people took to the streets to protest.

I have to say, sometimes Americans are very interesting, fully demonstrating the contradictions and complexities of human beings.
