Chapter 284: The Space Base is a Ship
Zhang Zhi saw Wu Xia shaking his head, and he was very surprised. Let him choose the location of the space base, which is enough to be sure.
The high-tech intensive industry of the space base, especially the civilian technology, does not have high confidentiality requirements.
It can drive a large number of upstream and downstream industries, as long as the location is selected, the local government will definitely cooperate.
Zhang Zhihu asked suspiciously: "Manager Wu Xia, do you want to choose a base abroad? In a place as big as Huaxia, it is impossible not to have a single base location. ”
"Mr. Zhang, this is not the case, our space base and launch site are not ready to be located on land. Wu Xia said seriously.
Not on land, Zhang Zhi also heard of a space base not on land for the first time.
It is the hottest space exploration technology company in the United States, and they are just a mobile launch platform at sea.
The control, monitoring and command of rockets and satellites still need to be commanded by space bases on land.
Wu Xia saw Zhang Zhi's puzzled look, and he explained in detail.
"Mr. Zhang, our aerospace technology all adopts new technologies, and if we use old technology. Our company has been established for a short time, and the company's talent and technology reserves are insufficient. ”
"We simply can't compete with other space agencies, especially since they have a national background, and we have little hope of catching up with them in the traditional field. ”
When Zhang Zhi heard this, he nodded approvingly. It is true that they are far behind and can only find another way to overtake from the corner. Catch up with the first group in the field of astronautics.
Wu Xia saw that Zhang Zhi recognized his words and continued.
"We have set three major technologies as the core technology of the company's aerospace technology. They are quantum network communication technology, quantum radar detection technology and ionization engine technology. ”
"The three of us have found the company's technology for simulation through the company's scientific research platform, and have decided the company's development direction. ”
Wu Xia opens his own quantum phone and shows off the company's space base they designed.
"Mr. Zhang, our space base has been designed and made to make its simulated images. ”
Zhang Zhi looked at the image of the light curtain of Wu Xia's quantum mobile phone.
A 10,000-ton giant ship slowly drove from the sea, and its size was about the same size as the Liaoning aircraft carrier.
The image shows it launching a launch vehicle. This can't be called a rocket, it's more appropriate to call it a space shuttle.
The shuttle looks like a fat transport plane, except that it has a small rocket embedded under its belly.
It ignited and started to start, and it took off vertically like a flying electric car. When flying into the sky, the head of the shuttle is upward, hovering vertically, and the rocket in the belly is ignited.
It began to accelerate at breakneck speed, heading towards outer space.
At this time, the screen turned and I saw the quantum radar on the ship and the quantum radar on the roof of the company, tracking the orbit of the space shuttle.
This quantum radar is very advanced, see the introduction in the video. It can cover the entire solar system.
You can directly see the attitude of the shuttle and its surroundings. Through the processing of artificial intelligence, it is like seeing the space shuttle with your own eyes.
Using the quantum network to direct the attitude adjustment of the space shuttle, the back of the space shuttle slowly opens, and a satellite is released from inside.
A small ionization engine is also installed on the satellite, which can adjust the orbit by itself.
After the shuttle finished delivering the satellites, its ionization engine ignited again, changing its orbit around the Earth.
Soon re-entered the atmosphere and flew towards the space base ship.
After it entered the atmosphere, the rocket ignited again and its flight attitude changed to level flight.
The shuttle landed vertically on the deck of the space base ship. At this point, the whole picture ends.
Zhang Zhi looked at Wu Xia, and he said excitedly: "This, this." I didn't expect your space base to be a ship. You've developed the Space Shuttle. ”
Poplov said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, when I was young, I participated in the research of the space shuttle project of the former Soviet Union. After getting sick, when I was bored, I was also recalling the details of the space shuttle. ”
"I don't dare to guarantee the safety of a manned space shuttle, but with the help of Star Blue, it is still effortless to design a space shuttle that transports cargo. ”
Zhang Zhi is very satisfied, the talents of the former Soviet Union are still very useful. He made a lot of money this time. If anyone else had known about Poplov's skills, they would have been hired at a high salary.
Zhang Zhi looked at Wu Xia, and he asked suspiciously: "Can our technical reserves achieve the functions in the video? Why did you choose a ship as a space base?" ”
When Wu Xia heard Zhang Zhi's question, he immediately explained: "Mr. Zhang, we used the ship as a space base after careful consideration. ”
"In space activities, the best launch time is called the window period. With the rapid development of technology, the unit cost of space activities is decreasing. We expect space activities to become more frequent in the future. ”
"If the space base is fixed in a certain location, the space launch activities will be limited by the window period in the future. ”
"The number of launches per year is extremely limited. We can't get the shuttle too far away from the space base yet. Each of its launches requires a detailed overhaul and the need to conserve its own fuel. ”
"We use the ship as a space base and can move at sea and will not be affected by this. ”
"In the past, it was launched with rockets, and there were wind and waves at sea, and the requirements for launching rockets were too high. Our shuttle is perfectly capable of overcoming this state. ”
"It takes years to build a space base, and we can renovate it with a merchant ship in a few months. ”
When Zhang Zhi heard Wu Xia's explanation, he said with satisfaction: "You are experts in this field, decide the project yourself, I won't interfere with you, just see the final result." ”
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your support. Wu Xia said happily.
He went on to introduce technical issues: "The structure of the space shuttle was designed by Mr. Poplov. With the help of Mr. Yan Jiliang, we have completed its engineering design drawings. ”
"In the ionization engine, we use a direct supply of ions that have been ionized by a strong electromagnetic field. After compression, it becomes the fuel for the ionized engine. ”
Zhang Zhi knew that they were doing this by dividing the ionization engine into two parts, and the ionization process that consumed the most energy was completed on the ground.
This technology can be used on the space shuttle, and its price is more acceptable.
But this technology cannot be used in electric vehicles, which will make flying electric vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars surge to hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is too expensive to store materials in the compressed ionic state.
Wu Xia continued: "Quantum radar and quantum network, the technical standards we need, the current technology, a little improvement, is to achieve our requirements. ”
"I've done experiments, and quantum networks have compressed the transmitted data to a few kilobytes per second, which can fully support such a large area of the solar system. The Quantum Physics Laboratory is still researching quantum technology. ”
When Zhang Zhi heard them say this, he already had a conclusion in his heart that their technology could be completely realized.
He slapped his right hand on the table and said excitedly: "Manager Wu Xia, just follow your plan, and the headquarters will fully support you." I approved the plan and the first money arrived immediately. ”
Wu Xia: A smile appeared on their faces, they were finally able to show their strength.
