I have a little black hole

Chapter 649: Primary and Secondary Technology R&D

His answer also made everyone in the conference room laugh easily. As a technology-oriented super company, everyone is still very proud of their company's technical level. Xiong Antai and Zhang Hanxiu do not have to use these laboratory leaders. Like those start-up technology companies, they also have to moderately exaggerate and beautify their technology to pull investment.

In the company, their R&D funds have never been stuck, so they will naturally say one thing and say that what can be done must be able to be done, so everyone listens to their report and they are taken for granted. Relaxed expression.

"It's good to have confidence! Since there are no problems with the time nodes, then there is no need to delay the time. You have to know that the typhoon season has already begun. In case of a typhoon at this time, our launch mission will have to move back. It's been several days, so while the weather on the South Island is still pretty good, hurry up and launch!" Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with their own boss. After all, this is a fact that cannot be ignored.Usually from May to September each year, it is the concentration period in which typhoons affect our country, and from the typhoon data that landed in China over the years, the South China Sea is the only coastal province with typhoons landing in April, and the'Gaia' rocket launch base is of course It is also within this range of influence.

"Weather conditions are also a reason why we are considering launching as soon as possible, but the weather conditions have been very good recently, and there has been no extreme weather for at least half a month, because we will obtain real-time data from the National Meteorological Center and our company’s satellites. The data observed by myself was integrated.

Using our company's artificial intelligence'origin' and our company's powerful supercomputer array computing capabilities for in-depth calculations, the half-month data obtained is already very accurate!Zhang Hanxiu also smiled and replied.

"Well, then this matter is so settled! By the way, where has the R&D work of the solid fuel heavy-duty launch vehicle going forward simultaneously?" Lei Tiantang has not heard of the development progress of this model rocket for a long time. Now, I'm a bit curious if Rocket Lab has encountered any difficulties here.

Hearing the boss asking this question, Xiong Antai was not surprised at all, because the task entrusted to him by the boss was to develop two fuel types of heavy rockets, and now one can already officially carry out the launch mission, while the other has no loud noise. No wonder the boss has to ask.

"Compared to the smooth development process of our "Julingshen-1" heavy-duty recyclable rocket, the research and development of the "Julingshen-2" heavy solid fuel rocket is a bit behind!

Although your boss has provided us with a lot of solid fuel rocket technology, we have also successfully developed a medium-sized solid fuel rocket, but the progress from medium-sized rockets to heavy rockets is not a simple amplification problem!

Many related technologies need to be optimized and upgraded, and the relevant data also need to be recalculated. Especially the formulation optimization of solid fuel is the most time-consuming. This work is not only dangerous, but also requires a lot of experiments and data accumulation at each step .

In order to research and develop robots for solid fuel mixing and related testing work, the robot laboratory has made a lot of improvements to the professional engineering robots in our laboratory.

Because the related experimental requirements of solid fuels must not have electric sparks, otherwise explosions may occur at any time, so all kinds of robots responsible for specific types must be optimized before they can go to work.

These reasons exist objectively. Of course, it is normal to have technical difficulties. We can still overcome this. The reason why the research and development of the'Julingshen-2' heavy solid fuel rocket will lag behind is mainly in our laboratory. I want to put the focus of my work first on the'Giant God-1' heavy recyclable rocket.

After all, according to the company's space plan, in a short period of time, our'Julingshen-1' heavy recyclable rocket can fully meet the mission requirements, and the use of recyclable rockets is a bit lower in terms of launch cost.

And the related tasks that need to use the one-time solid rocket launch have not been in a short time, so we have slowed down its research and development work, the work still has to be divided into primary and secondary tasks!"

Xiong Antai said that the solid rocket engine has the advantages of simple structure, high propellant density, propellant can be stored in the middle of combustion until it is ready to be used, and the operation is convenient and reliable.

The disadvantage is that the "specific impulse" is small (also called specific thrust, which is the ratio of the engine thrust to the weight of propellant consumed per second, in seconds), the solid rocket engine has a specific impulse of 250 to 300 seconds, the working time is short, and the acceleration results in thrust. It is not easy to control and difficult to start repeatedly, which is not conducive to manned flight.

Therefore, solid rocket engines are generally used as engines for rockets, missiles, and sounding rockets, as well as boost engines for spacecraft launches and aircraft takeoffs.

And because of the characteristics of fuel, it is difficult to design a rocket that uses solid fuel to be recyclable, so the cost of use is of course much higher than that of a recyclable heavy rocket.

At the same time, Infinite Gravity Group does not have any demand for this heavy solid fuel in a short time, because the carrying capacity of the'Juling God-1' heavy recyclable rocket that is about to be officially launched now can fully meet the company's period of time. Time for launch needs.

After all, the finished "Julingshen-1" heavy-duty recyclable rocket reached an exaggerated figure of 82 meters in height alone, and the diameter of the arrow body reached 8 meters. Of course, such exaggerated data brought The carrying capacity will also be very exaggerated.

Thanks to the material advantages and technical design advantages of the Infinite Gravity Group, the maximum load of the'Julingshen-1' heavy-duty recyclable rocket can reach 135 tons, and the carrying capacity of the geosynchronous orbit has also reached 75 Ton!

You must know that this number is larger than the largest carrying capacity of Saturn 5 in history, and it is still a recyclable rocket. This number is also twice that of the existing Falcon’s heavy-duty recyclable rocket. many!

The most important thing is that the diameter of its 8-meter arrow can make the diameter of the space station of Infinite Gravity Group reach the same exaggerated figure of 7.5 meters!

It should be known that the space station of this diameter can have a minimum height of 6 meters, which is about 2 floors high. It is easy to lay out such a large space, and it will not appear crowded.
