Chapter 703 Aerospace Aircraft Engine Testing

Before the storm, it seemed to be relatively calm.

The same is true of the confrontation.

Because of his status in the Cultural Development Center and the Cultural Development Commission, Gu Song has participated in high-level discussions more times, and when it is confirmed by the things in his memory, he finds that the changes have been very big.

In this case, how can he casually "dream" of the future?

However, some of the thoughts put forward by Gu Song are still highly valued.

Gu Tao and Bao Jiaqi can understand his caution, no matter what kind of speculation they have about Gu Song's "ability", they can only leave it to Gu Song to decide, what to say and what not to say.

This is not demanding.

Gu Song knew that in order to deal with the extraordinary rise of Huaguo, the direction of the Great Commander's decision-making was estimated to not change.

Harvest from other places and strengthen yourself.

From next year, the west side will start to be exciting.

Now, the Grand Commander lays out his bureau. Gu Song thought of the dilemma that the younger brother in the west would encounter later, and would only put forward suggestions to deepen the interest bond with other ESG members.

Anyway, let's go and see.

In the nearly two years since the outbreak of the crisis, Huaguo has changed and has stood firmly.

Much more stable than Gu Song remembered.

This kind of stability added to the chips in July.

The Dongliao was completed, and the news was released.

In front of this news, countless people were silent.

Especially China's maritime neighbors.

It's too fast.

From 06 to now, 5 years, the change is too fast.

is almost facing a lot of strategic issues, and before the meeting is over and the conclusion has not yet come out, it is like a fast-paced movie, one chapter after another.

……

Musk knew the news, and he also knew that Gu Song's guy played a role in it.

Now thinking back to the first meeting with him in early '06, Musk occasionally felt a little uncomfortable with his own indiscretion at that time.

Who would have thought that the person who seemed to be Jobs' old enemy at that time was actually his old enemy.

Smartphone ...... It's just a toy he made inadvertently, right?

Compared with quantum computers, Candle Dragon 2, and Flint Space City, what is a smartphone?

And then now, aerospace, electric cars, this guy is all in the game.

All-solid-state battery ......

Musk has a big head, but he has to concentrate and pay attention to the launch in front of him.

Falcon 9.

Because of the large amount of financial support and even technical support, the rocket has already advanced much ahead of the planned schedule, completing 2 test launches.

None of them were successful.

But now, good news is needed.

This time, there is not only the Falcon 9, but also the Dragon spacecraft.

Now, the Dragon spacecraft has successfully flown on an old full-fledged rocket, and the Falcon 9 has already accumulated experience in two launches. They're all in one, and this time it has to be successful.

After the withdrawal of the Northern Bear Country, the capabilities of another cargo and manned spacecraft need to be restored as soon as possible, in addition to the Space Shuttle.

Standing beside him, there are also people from NASA.

"How sure are you?"

"Trust me, Roman. "Musk looks confident.

Stimulated by Flint Space City, both SpaceX and other partners have increased their investment in this field.

Many powerful scientists and engineers have also been stimulated with fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

The International Space Station has also carried out three replenishment launches this year, adding a node module. Although this speed is not as fast as that of Flint Space City, it also shows the determination of ESG.

Unfortunately, this time the Dragon spacecraft is still only testing the launch of the Falcon 9, and will not consider docking with the International Space Station.

After all, there is only one ISS. If the docking of the Dragon spacecraft and the ISS fails, causing serious consequences, it cannot be afforded.

In a short period of time, NASA and ESA have limited capacity to quickly rebuild a Ouranos.

No matter how confident Musk is, the people above don't dare to take such a risk.

……

At this time, Gu Song took Xie Yinran, who had just graduated, to Nanhai Island for a vacation.

Of course, Gu Song didn't come here for a pure vacation.

The design ideas of Pangu Industrial Space Station need to be discussed and docked with the technical team of Huayu Heavy Industry.

The more important work is the aerospace aircraft project that He Anzhi, Fan Yuanbai and Guo Yue are working on together.

Today, Guo Yue has officially jumped into the system of Flint Aerospace University and Flint Aerospace.

The project team of aerospace aircraft is not small.

Bai Yang is also in Guo Yue's software engineering group, he was originally Guo Yue's student, and he is very familiar with it.

But the highlight of the day was the testing of the engine.

Guo Yue stood on the huge rocket engine test bench, looked at this strange-shaped building, and said worriedly: "Is this thing really good?"

He Anzhi said confidently: "Don't worry, the dispersion tests at all stages have been done and are very reliable." Now the main thing is to test it for switching in various states. ”

Guo Yue sighed: "Single-stage orbit...... The technical content of this test bench is the first in the world. ”

He Anzhi was very proud. Don't look at Lao Guo has become an engineering academician, and when he arrives here, he is not a student.

Gu Song said with a smile: "Unprecedented, ugly is ugly, just be able to support tests in different states." ”

Unlike ordinary rocket engine tests, the engine of an aerospace aircraft is a completely different concept.

The engine of the aerospace aircraft has to be designed with a combined cycle. Because it has to realize the take-off of the aerospace aircraft on the ground, the low-speed operation in the air environment, and the high-speed breakthrough of the earth's gravity, and finally the propulsion in the vacuum environment.

Flint Aerospace directly chose the most difficult and most representative of the future rocket-based combined cycle power plant route RBCC.

The RBCC propulsion system is an integrated propulsion system that combines a rocket engine and an air-breathing engine.

During the take-off phase, a ramjet engine was adopted in the subsonic combustion mode.

When the speed of the aerospace aircraft exceeds Mach 5, it enters the supersonic combustion mode of the ramjet engine.

If the speed is increased again, it will switch to the rocket mode, rush out of the atmosphere, and propelle in a vacuum.

The design and manufacture of this engine was a huge difficulty in itself. And the test of it also has high requirements for the test bench.

This is an engine with a thrust of 1,000 tons or even higher, not to mention the firmness of the test bench.

When the engine starts, the exhaust gas and energy discharged must be dealt with.

Since it is an RBCC propulsion system, it is also necessary to be able to switch between the air state and the vacuum state.

There is nothing to say about the technical content, but Guo Yue sighed that the technical level of this test bench is probably the first in the world.

Now, the main thing is to test the data of this engine separately before the test in the sky, especially the problem of switching in different states.

Gu Song's low R&D cost and high investment determined that he could play in this way.
