The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 39 Space Station Design

"Something bad happened!" Lu Hong, the person in charge of the Space Administration and Spacecraft Research Institute, had a headache.

The timing of this bill is really fatal for the Americans. They have long been accustomed to the ban on aerospace materials and technology.

However, those experts and scientific research teams occupy an important position in the research and development of the "Tiangong" space station. Once cooperation is stopped, some projects will be forced to suspend.

For a while, it was difficult to find alternative candidates and solutions.

"The progress cannot be stopped!" His deputy worriedly said, "According to the plan, we will launch the three space modules of Tiangong into the sky this year. If the time is delayed, it will affect our overall strategy!"

The Tiangong Space Station project has been determined ever since the Americans refused China to join the International Space Station!

After so many years, the China Space Administration has been quietly preparing. They want to send the Tiangong Space Station to heaven before the International Space Station is decommissioned!

In this way, only the Chinese will have a space station in space. If other countries want to conduct space research, they must have good relations with China and pay certain benefits before they can enter. At that time, we can use this as an opportunity to tear a hole in the blockade of the international aerospace industry!

But now, the plan was suddenly disrupted.

They could design the Tiangong Space Station given time, but now that the situation has changed, they are worried that the Americans will launch a new space station before Tiangong is fully completed... Even if they launched Tiangong at that time, the effect would not be as great as it is now. .

"Why don't we ask our brother departments to help?" the deputy suggested.

"Who do you want to invite?" Lu Hong knew what his deputy was thinking as soon as he spoke, "You mean, Du Xingyu?"

"Yes, that's him! He was the one who led the design of the last aerospace plane. Lao Zhang worked with him. When he came back, he said, Du Xingyu is so awesome!"

"If we let Du Xingyu come, we might be able to catch up," the deputy said.

"Du Xingyu...Okay, I'll communicate with the Rocket Research Institute." Lu Hong nodded.

Soon, Du Xingyu received the news that the Tiangong Space Station asked him to come and help.

Du Xingyu was thinking about the space station. When he heard the news, he agreed immediately, took the information, and went to the Spacecraft Research Institute.

"Dr. Du, I have to work hard for you next!" Lu Hong is a thin old man, a scholar by background, and dressed very simply.

"Hard work is beyond mention," Du Xingyu said, "Dean Lu, I have only one request. I hope you will pay attention to the improvement plan I proposed."

"Of course, everyone wants to make Tiangong better! This will be our country's first base in space!" Lu Hong agreed, and he gave Du Xingyu great authority, "You can just go ahead and do it, I will I have already given instructions to let the team cooperate with you to the maximum extent!"

Du Xingyu officially joined the "Tiangong" space station research and development team. The leader of the team is Xiong Ming, an old professor of space physics and an academician of the National Academy of Engineering.

Xiong Ming and his teacher Liu Yuan are old friends. According to seniority, he is Du Xingyu's uncle.

"We launched the Tiangong-1 target spacecraft in 2011. Three astronauts from Shenzhou-9 entered Tiangong-1; later a female astronaut also entered."

"In 2016, we launched the Tiangong-2 space laboratory."

"Both of these can be regarded as trial production of Tiangong Space Station. The real Tiangong Space Station should be a large space station composed of multiple space modules." Someone from the project team introduced the current space station research status to Du Xingyu.

"We initially planned to launch three 60-ton space station modules. Especially after the emergence of the nuclear-powered rocket Starry Sky 2, the launch conditions have been basically met. There are problems in the manufacturing of the space station... You also know that several of our Foreign experts are restricted, and some difficulties are difficult to overcome in a short period of time..."

Du Xingyu carefully looked at the project situation and studied the Tiangong space station modules that had been manufactured.

After several days of analysis, he said: "If it is my idea, these three 60-ton space stations must be improved. They can be changed to 100 tons and add more functions!"

"100 tons? Is it possible?" Some experts asked doubtfully.

"Of course it can be done. The Long March rocket's carrying capacity is not enough, and there are also nuclear-powered rockets." Du Xingyu said.

"The cost of renovation is too high!" someone commented, "it will put us over budget!"

"Apply for more budget." Du Xingyu vowed, "I'm sure that the increased quality and functions will definitely be worth the money! The current expenditure is for more convenience in the future!"

"Our Tiangong will not only surpass the current International Space Station, but also serve as a base station for space landings and a space transportation center between the moon and the earth in the future."

"So when designing now, we need to add many functions and parts... Three space modules are not enough. Add more modules. This can be added later. But now, I suggest directly modifying the backbone of the plan to prepare for the future. prepare for."

"What do you think when you say that?" Xiong Ming asked.

"Yes, in fact, I already have a preliminary transformation plan!" Du Xingyu's direct space station simulation was not in vain.

In the past few days, he made further design modifications based on the actual situation of Tiangong and the project team.

Based on Tiangong, build the most advanced space station in the world!

Du Xingyu laid out the plan and began to explain it to everyone.

At first, some people still didn't understand, but after listening, they discovered that Du Xingyu was not just talking nonsense, but he got serious when he had complete design ideas and ideas.

Du Xingyu's plan was discussed for three days, and then Xiong Ming and others demonstrated it for another two days.

"Xiao Du, we all agree that your idea is excellent, ten times better than our previous design ideas!" Xiong Ming said with emotion, "Just do what you said, Tiangong, we need to make major changes!"

"Change!" One word made the Tiangong R&D team enter high-intensity work.

The overall design idea needs to be modified. It cannot be limited to the small space station at the beginning, but should be designed and manufactured as an expandable large and medium-sized space station.

The modular design allows the space station to not design so many modules at the beginning and gradually add them later.

First, we must design the necessary modules such as life module, plant module, medical module, and power module!

Du Xingyu has lit up each module on the technology simulator. He personally participated in the design of the module and provided inspiration and inspiration to the team.

Two weeks later, the first module has been modified.

"The life module is a space module that maintains the life of astronauts. It has a complete water circulation and air circulation system. The space debris generated can also be processed in this module." Modifying the original module is much faster than direct manufacturing. .

"With an initial mass of 104 tons and multiple space connections, this life space module can support ten astronauts to live in space for a whole year if the resource reserves are sufficient!"
