Super technology leader

The scene of the "sea dragon beast" jumping out of the sea is indeed in line with the romantic feelings of aerospace, but it is a pity that in addition to romantic feelings, humans also have pragmatism.

When a large number of people form a space agency and move forward for one or several goals, it cannot stay for one's romantic feelings.

People once thought that it could only stay in science fiction works and people's imagination, as a permanent testimony of human imagination and eternal innovation. No one thought that today, they would see a similar super rocket.

Yishan Super Rocket!

It has a diameter of 20 meters, a height of more than 160 meters, and a weight of 10,360 tons after being filled with fuel.

If you use the sea dragon rocket as an analogy, then it is the thin and tall version of the sea dragon, the model body of the sea dragon, or the tall, rich and handsome version of the sea dragon.

To say that it is a rich and handsome Hailong is not because its carrying capacity is stronger than that of Hailong. In fact, its orbital carrying capacity is only 280 tons, which is far behind Hailong's 550 tons.

Even if there is a difference in overall weight, it is not as good as Hailong when compared with the respective carrying ratio of 0.027 to 0.03.

The load ratio is the comparison between load and take-off quality. The larger the number, the better the performance of the rocket.

After all, if the two rockets are not recycled or both are recycled, a takeoff mass of 1,000 tons can transport 20 tons, and a takeoff mass of 1,000 tons can transport 30 tons. Obviously, 30 tons are better.

The reason is that, compared with the "untimely birth" and "technical flaws" Hailong, Yishan appeared "just at the right time", and the technology is completely okay. It is really easy to use and cheap. .

Tianxia will soon enter the era of large-scale space construction. The 280-ton low-Earth orbit carrying capacity far exceeds that of the Long March 9th, which has the strongest carrying capacity on the earth, and it can definitely make a lot of achievements.

The most important thing is that its diameter is very large, reaching 20 meters.

With a diameter of 20 meters and a height of 160 meters, its booster is 90 meters high and the carrier is 70 meters high, so the size of its warehouse is directly 20 meters multiplied by 40 meters, which is very huge.

The small foldable gravity cabin that was previously launched by the "Giant Voyage" was only 15 meters in diameter. Not only was it more than enough to install it, but also a medium-sized foldable gravity cabin.

According to Tang Chao's vision, the medium-sized simulated gravity cabin has an unfolded diameter of 50 meters and a folded state of 18 meters.

The main thing is to fold and unfold the connecting passage between the shaft and the arc cabin. After handling it, the size of the shaft and the arc cabin is not too important, just use it.

Therefore, the advantage of the Yishan super rocket is its huge cargo warehouse and reusability. If it is built, the 280-ton load is the largest in the world, but it is not its most prominent point, or there is nothing to boast about.

After all, its carrying ratio is only 0.027, which is not outstanding among all rockets with a carrying ratio of 0.04 or even 0.05.

Well, Hailong’s 0.03 is also mediocre, but it can’t hold people violent enough, and it’s horrible at the 550-ton carrying capacity.

However, the recovery method of Yishan Rocket is more flexible and perfect than that of Hailong Rocket.

The Hailong rocket consumes all the fuel, and then uses an inflatable deceleration airbag to slow down and land to the sea for recovery, just like landing with a parachute.

The advantage of this method of recycling is that the rocket's capacity is very little wasted, but it is very dull. Although it slows down, it still has to crash into the sea, and the vibration caused by the rocket is not easy to control.

However, the Yishan cannot use up all the fuel. Its recycling method is to ignite the engine multiple times to buffer and land, so it needs to retain some fuel, which wastes a lot of capacity.

If the booster responsible for take-off wants to land back to the landing field near the launch pad, it needs to retain a lot of fuel, and if it is landed on a large recovery vessel, it only needs to retain a small amount of fuel.

The carrier loaded with cargo will enter orbit. It will stay in orbit for a period of time. If it wants to return to the earth, it can choose a suitable reentry point, and it can land smoothly with a small amount of fuel to a place not far from the launch pad. Landing field.

This convenient recovery capability benefits from a new rocket engine, which Tang Chao named it-Feisheng!

Ok.

Move the mountain!

Soaring!

very suitable.

Tang Chao explained that their name comes from "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain", which is the story of an old man who digs the mountain and moves the mountain with perseverance, and then moves to the sky.

It's not that he accidentally saw the inspiration from a certain "Dawei Tianlong" video when he was in "Archaeology" at Beep Station.

To move the mountain, the thrust of the soaring engine must be large, so its single thrust reaches 600 tons.

This single thrust is certainly not the largest on earth, but it is the most suitable.

A total of 25 soaring engines are integrated on the booster of the Yishan Super Rocket, which can provide a huge thrust of 15,000 tons, and easily lift the fully loaded Yishan Super Rocket with a weight of over 10,000 tons into the sky.

When it reaches a certain height, the booster disengages, and the 7 soaring engines on the carrier ignites, and the 4200-ton thrust pushes the carrier to orbit in space.

Although the use of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel increases the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the soaring engine, it gives it a very wide range of applications.

Low altitude, high altitude, vacuum, as long as there is water.

However, its manufacturing company is the leader, so there is no difficulty, and only benefits are left.

Now the navigator has established a base on the moon with the Tianxia Space Agency and discovered a huge ice mine. The hydrogen-oxygen fuel refining equipment has also been launched. The Benyue spacecraft can carry fuel to take off from the moon at any time to orbit the moon. And the equipment in the earth orbit provides a certain fuel supply.

Not to mention that the Yishan carrier itself is a spacecraft. The soaring engine is an intelligent engine that can intelligently adjust the thrust. Then it can escape the earth's gravity and fly into space at high altitude, and it is naturally easy to take off on the moon.

Its fuel tank is huge, even if there is no refueling in space, it can still fly to the moon by itself for fuel replenishment, and take off again for a long voyage.

After all, the near-earth carrying capacity of the Yishan super rocket has reached 280 tons, and the carrying capacity of the moon and Mars is also 120 tons and 100 tons.

This is still not the ability to refuel in space orbit. If refueling in orbit, it can transport heavier things to the moon and Mars.

With its addition, it is of great significance to the construction of earth orbit, the construction of lunar bases, and the construction of Mars bases in the near future in the past few decades, as well as further space exploration.

Its cargo hold has a diameter of 20 meters, and the size range of the modules that can be carried has been greatly increased.

In space, larger modules naturally represent improved comfort, improved range, and increased complexity of portable devices.

Let's put it this way, only three launches are required, and the modules it carries can form a formal spacecraft to Mars in space orbit.

In Tang Chao's latest plan, the Martian spacecraft is more than 100 meters in length, equipped with a medium-sized simulated gravity capsule with an unfolding diameter of 50 meters, and using advanced ion thrusters, it can fly over Mars when it is close to the earth within one month.

This spacecraft can carry 10 astronauts, two Mars landing ships, a Mars survival capsule that can accommodate 10 astronauts for a month, and several simple Mars scooters.

This is Tang Chao's latest plan. The name of the plan is already in the company's manufacturing sequence, but the specific content has not been updated. As long as he updates the content, the spacecraft will join the manufacturing sequence.

This is all work to be done later, and he will not announce it at this press conference. After all, this conference will be based on the Tianting Space Station and supplemented by the Yishan Super Rocket.

Don't look at the super rocket with the word "super" added, and it weighs 10,000 tons, which is 4 times heavier than the 2500 tons of the space station, but most of its weight is hydrogen-oxygen fuel, and the "water" is very heavy.

However, after he finished talking about the Yishan rocket, the reaction on the scene and on the Internet seemed to be more intense than when he announced the Tianting Space Station.

He was puzzled, but he reacted immediately.

"Humans are indeed visual animals."
