The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 29 Start spacecraft research and development

All research must be carried out according to the existing scientific and technological level!

"Don't be too hasty!" Du Xingyu also wanted to speed up the progress, but with Earth's current level of technology and equipment here, it's useless to rush.

He searched carefully among the spacecraft branches and finally focused on one of them.

"Aerospace plane: An aerospace plane is a new type of aircraft that can fly both in the atmosphere and in space!"

Aerospace plane is not a new term. As early as the 1960s, scientists proposed an aerospace plane, an aircraft that crosses the atmosphere.

The Americans have long carried out experiments and built reusable aerospace aircraft like the X-30 in the last century. It uses a combined supersonic combustion ramjet engine and can fly in space for more than half a year!

The former Soviet Union also had its own aerospace aircraft, such as the "Buran" spacecraft. In addition, other powerful countries in the European Union and island countries developed aerospace aircraft.

So far, the United States has the most mature aerospace aircraft technology. So far, the United States is still developing higher-tech aerospace aircraft, and they still have aerospace aircraft in service.

"According to the information I have seen, our space agency is also developing an aerospace aircraft." Du Xingyu recalled that the China Space Administration had indeed started research on aerospace aircraft long ago. At present, they have launched two aerospace aircraft. verification machine and recycled.

But unfortunately, these demonstrators did not perform missions in space for a long time. They just bubbled in space, so they are not considered real spacecraft!

"The next step is to develop an aerospace aircraft." Du Xingyu made the decision. The aerospace aircraft will be an important part of human activities in space.

Transporting supplies or people into space requires reusable spacecraft such as aerospace planes, coupled with nuclear-powered rockets, that is a strong alliance!

Whether it is military or commercial, aerospace aircraft have huge potential!

"Invest one hundred thousand energy points to simulate the design of an aerospace aircraft..." Du Xingyu began to simulate the design of an aerospace aircraft.

Various information about aerospace aircraft appeared in his mind. Its difficulty is no less than that of a nuclear-powered rocket.

"Structural materials are a big problem. The aerospace shuttle has to repeatedly enter and exit the atmosphere, and the speed will reach several times the speed of sound. The frictional heat will be as high as one or two thousand degrees Celsius. The heat-proof tile type coat of the ordinary space shuttle will no longer be effective... it must be To use new materials, the space agency has several new materials developed for reference."

The greatest convenience of working at the space agency is that Du Xingyu can draw on the wisdom of everyone and their accumulated experience.

He began to invest in the design and simulation of aerospace aircraft.

…

A few days later, the president's office of Beijing Xingyao Space Technology Company.

There is a document on Dong Jiangbo's desk, and Du Xingyu is sitting opposite him.

"Junior brother, I have brought you this 10 billion investment. Now you should be our technology consultant, right?" He said, "Look at the contract. In addition to the annual salary, I will transfer part of the shares to you. As long as the research tasks can be completed, there will be subsequent share rewards.”

Du Xingyu took a look at it and found that there should be nothing wrong with the contract. He would just ask someone from the bureau to review it at that time.

"Okay." Du Xingyu said, "Now that we have the funds, where are the people?"

“We have also recruited some people, but talents in this field are hard to come by, so we can only take our time,” Dong Jiangbo said.

"The foundation is too bad!" Du Xingyu looked at the information given by Dong Jiangbo and said unceremoniously: "With the current foundation of Xingyao Company, whether it is building rockets or manufacturing spacecraft, it is far behind."

"You have to eat the food one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step!" Dong Jiangbo said helplessly.

Du Xingyu shook his head and said: "From a technological perspective, Xingyao's development is too slow. From a business perspective, the same is true. As far as I know, major foreign aerospace, space exploration, and service companies have received a large amount of capital injection, and their The speed of development will double!”

"The aerospace industry is an industry with a very obvious head effect. Once we fall behind, it will be difficult to turn around in the future!"

"So?" Dong Jiangbo frowned slightly. This was an objective fact, but he had no good way to change it.

"So I suggest that we directly approach the space agency for cooperation in research and development projects." Du Xingyu said, "Without the help of the space agency, it will be difficult for Xingyao to catch up with its foreign counterparts for another ten years!"

"As for the space agency..." Dong Jiangbo said as he thought, "I am also from the space agency. Most of the experts in the company are from the institutes of the bureau. Some small help is no problem."

"If it's a big research project, I'm not sure I can convince the leadership of the space agency."

"Let me do it." Du Xingyu said, "But I also hope that you will write a material about commercial aerospace, and I will be the middleman."

"That's great!" Dong Jiangbo said happily. He knew Du Xingyu's current weight. Those big shots valued his opinions. If Du Xingyu came forward, things would be much easier to discuss.

"For the first project, I suggest establishing a spacecraft 'space plane'." Du Xingyu continued, "In terms of rocket research and development, we can also cooperate with the space agency."

"Aerospace plane? Isn't this a step too big!" Of course Dong Jiangbo knows what an aerospace plane is, but his company can't even make a small rocket, so how can it have the strength to manufacture an aerospace plane?

"It just needs to be big, otherwise why would the space agency be willing to cooperate?" Du Xingyu said, "In the early days, Xingyao only had to pay and send people to study."

"Okay!" Dong Jiangbo stood up, patted Du Xingyu on the shoulder, and said, "Junior brother, our Xingyao General Counselor Du, I will leave this matter to you. When the project is confirmed, I will personally pour you a celebratory drink! "

Du Xingyu quickly submitted his analysis, and at the same time, Xingyao also applied to the space agency.

Dong Jiangbo originally came from the space agency, and it was the intention of the top management to let him develop domestic commercial aerospace.

So when these two documents were handed over, they quickly attracted the attention of senior officials, and they began to discuss the feasibility of this matter.

In the conference room, several senior executives discussed: "Du Xingyu is a rare genius in the aerospace industry. It is good that he is willing to participate in the development of aerospace aircraft."

"There is no precedent for cooperating with a commercial aerospace company on such an important project!"

"That's why we have to break the precedent! I agree with a few sentences in the document. There are some aerospace companies in the United States, Europe and Russia that do not have technical support from their country's space agency."

"Dong Jiangbo and Du Xingyu are both our people with clean backgrounds, so you can rest assured."

"Yes, aerospace technology, in addition to military applications, has unlimited commercial value. Ultimately, it must be developed by commercial companies. Supporting local aerospace companies is also for the development of our country's aerospace technology."

"Then it's settled, this opinion is approved!"

Thanks to gchbin, yong2669, Duxi Hongchen, and 13yaoqwer for their rewards.
