Super technology leader

"A powerful rocket!"

"Not worse than any super rocket under development!"

Seeing the technical indicators of "Yuanhang", people think so.

Let’s not talk about Long March 9. It’s been very hot recently. The core diameter is 9.5 meters, the fairing diameter is 7.5 meters, the take-off weight is 4137 tons, and the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is 180 tons, even 200 tons.

Starship, or booster + starship, the overall recyclable starship above is the main body.

Its data has been changed many times. The core-level diameter is now 9 meters, and the diameter of the starship that transports the cargo is also 9 meters. Because of the need for recovery, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is about 150 tons.

However, the carrying capacity to the moon and Mars is huge, both at 100+, and the unit is ton.

Because it can "refuel in the air."

The starship is a big guy. It can transport hundreds of tons of cargo to the moon and Mars with just a few refueling in orbit.

It's just that whether we can achieve a safe and stable "orbital refueling" in the future remains to be seen.

Then there is the Ace Pigeon SLS, the core stage diameter is 10 meters, the manned version fairing diameter is 5 meters, the freight version is 10 meters, the manned version has a take-off mass of 2500 tons, the cargo version is 2950 tons, and the manned version has a low earth orbit capacity of 70. Tons, the loaded version is 130 tons.

Finally, there is the "little brother" New Glen, with a core level of 7 meters, a fairing diameter of 7 meters, a take-off weight of 1,500 tons, and a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of...45 tons.

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

Originally the heavy Falcon rocket could also be on the list, but its 3.7-meter core diameter is too hip, and the 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 "Hanging" rocket has a take-off mass of 2500 tons and a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 110 tons, which is quite good among these super rockets of various sizes.

And depending on the design, the "Yuanhang" rocket also has a recovery plan. The recovery method of the first-level rocket is similar to that of the heavy Falcon, with grid wing and landing gear, and the core stage of the "Yuanhang" is thicker, compared to the heavy core hunting of the bamboo pole. Level, it’s easier to stand firm.

The most fierce thing is that the "Yuanhang" secondary rocket into orbit will also be recovered!

However, instead of recycling as a whole, only five "super vector" engines are recycled.

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

Its recovery plan is to wait for the "weapon and arrow separation" to separate the engine from the secondary rocket body, and then open the inflatable heat shield for orbital reentry.

The inflatable heat shield was one of the previous two loading experiments of the Long March 5B launch vehicle. The orbital reentry was abnormal, which was considered a failure.

That thing was used in Tang Chao's plan. Although it hasn't been successful on Earth, Kanxing has already been mass-produced.

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

And looking at Captain Tang’s introduction, many of the rocket’s technologies have been broken.

For example, a 200-ton thrust "super mainsail" engine, which has a 140-ton "mainsail" engine base, can be upgraded.

In addition, technical issues were also discussed in the PPT. The leader company used new materials to increase the room pressure, which has been overcome.

The same goes for the "Super Vector" engine.

Originally, the "super mainsail" burns liquid oxygen kerosene, and the "super vector" burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Compared with the "liquid oxygen methane" fuel, they are not suitable for recycling rocket fuel.

Also because of those new materials, their recycling has become possible.

As for those materials, Navigator has the core technology, which is actually the same as the inflatable heat shield, from the little green man.

There is also an arrow body with a diameter of 5 meters. This technology is really not top-notch. After all, there are 7 meters, 8 meters, 9 meters, and 10 meters.

To make the diameter of the arrow larger and smaller, in addition to technical limitations, there are also site limitations and demand limitations.

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

People have seen this place and have begun to savor it. Is this the legendary technology too bad?

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

And this is not over yet, the most important thing is that they see behind and find that this rocket is not a pure PPT.

After introducing those, the Captain Tang walked out of the conference room and came to their factory, showing the camera the "Super Mainsail" engine, the "Super Vector" engine, the five-meter alloy forged ring, the new tank segment, etc. In kind!

There are physical objects, indicating that the new rocket has already begun to be manufactured.

Finally, standing in front of the "Super Mainsail" engine, Captain Tang solemnly said to the camera: "I still said that, I'm very disappointed with Meriken officials."

"After winning the first place in the Lunar Grand Prix, we did not stay or have any pride. Instead, we were actively preparing our new rocket and preparing to do our part for the aerospace cause of all mankind."

"And they kicked us out of the moon landing contract bidding team without any inquiry or notice, and said that our technology was not good."

"Then I can't help asking, the technology for the first place in the Moon Landing Grand Prix is ​​not good. Is there any need for the second, third, fourth, etc. after that?

"Meriken Space Agency, is it still the human light?"

"Can we still lead mankind to the stars?"

Good guy, eat melon, eat melon, eat melon crazy!

Regardless of whether the Merrican Space Agency has ever thought of becoming the light of mankind, Merrican officials must have thought so.

Also shouted the slogan "For all mankind".

For a while, they did do this, and the government was very supportive, spending crazy money.

Later, after the White Bear Alliance was disbanded, the government found that it was too tired to "for all mankind", and it was unnecessary. Let's do it for ourselves first.

After that, many space projects were cut down, and the space city, moon colonization, and Mars colonization programs that mankind dreamed of were gone.

Until some time ago, Wang Wang of Merrican directly shouted the slogan of "America First". They were no longer the same.

Now Tang Chao used the slogan "For all mankind" to fight them again. Everyone knew that there was a good show.

Just like Captain Tang said, the "Yuanhang" rocket has such detailed technology, plus some parts have been made, it will definitely not be a day or two, it must have been a long time.

As for why it was not announced at the beginning, maybe I just wanted to stand on a higher level and then announce it.

After all, the team of the "Can Star Moon Landing Department" was initially ridiculed for just playing games, to join in the fun of the space competition.

If they don't have enough results, they will only receive more ridicule when they announce this plan, thinking they are whimsical.

Therefore, they got the first place.

This is their first step up.

After they won the first place, even before the press conference was over, Meriken directly cancelled the qualifications of others to compete for the moon landing contract without any communication. This is too unreasonable.

There must be some shady dark business.

Those who originally believed in conspiracy theories were immediately excited, and the Meriken people were the most excited here.

It has been almost a year since the epidemic. During the various harassment operations of the government, although many people believed the government's nonsense, a considerable number of people were already suffocated."I just said that they must have a conspiracy. They must have secretly traded with those big companies and squeezed out this small company!"

"Yes, they do it every time!"

"Although I don't know how to build rockets, I know that preparations for Super Rockets must be very troublesome. This company has just won the first place and may be preparing for the information report. As a result, it directly cancelled the qualification of others. I can hardly believe that there is no secret here. transaction."

"This is monopoly, Chiguoguo's monopoly! Oppose monopoly!!"

"Freedom!!!"

Uh, the last sentence will never be less.

Then, many people marched in the streets.

I have to say that sometimes the Meriken people are very interesting and fully demonstrate the contradictions and complexity of human beings.
