Early the next morning, at about six or seven o'clock, everyone woke up.

Today is the day when the aerospace project is officially launched, not to mention Yang Chen, even everyone else is full of expectations.

Even the two Wei Lao and Xiao Lao, who have participated in domestic aerospace projects and space launches many times, are the same. Although they have seen the world, this is the first time that the key to the aerospace project carried out by the non-governmental sector is that it adopts an aerospace project that is different from traditional science and technology.

Yang Chen didn't do anything about the oath meeting when he started the project, he directly called everyone together, held a short meeting, and announced the official start.

Everyone was not interested in these vain heads, and all their energy rushed to the aerospace project.

After the meeting, Yang Chen took everyone straight to the engineering area - this is an area that has been designed a long time ago, mainly for large-scale projects, or large-scale research.

Here, there are not many facilities. Because there will be many similar big projects in Yang Chen's prediction. And different large projects will have different needs. It is a hassle to design too many facilities, and it is better to add them temporarily according to the needs of the project.

Now, a platform that has been modeled after a launch vehicle has been built, and a small platform that looks similar, but much smaller and shorter.

"This ......" Wei Hua and Xiao Ran were of course extremely familiar with this, and they recognized it at a glance: "Rocket launch pad......?"

The two old experts frowned, as if considering the wording: "So small?"

Wei Hua was the first to find Yang Chen to give his opinion: "Xiao Yang, this is not good! Rocket launch is a very important matter, and there must be no sloppiness." Your rocket launch pad is so small that it doesn't work at all! Or do you plan to imitate the American space shuttle and build something like a vehicle that can travel to and from the atmosphere?"

Yang Chen smiled: "Don't worry, Elder Wei, no problem." Can I be careless about this kind of big thing? My rocket launch pad is relatively small because the technology I use is different from the traditional one, and I don't need such a huge launch pad. ”

"Can this work?" Wei Hua doubted, "To send tons of things into space, you need a lot of propulsion." Without a qualified launch platform, the launch will not be successful, not to mention accidents. Aerospace accidents are different from traffic accidents like car crashes, as soon as they come out, they will suffer heavy casualties and losses, Xiao Yang, you have to be cautious......"

Before Wei Hua spoke, everyone had just come here and was looking around, Xiao Ran had already jumped onto the launch platform, climbed up and down with agility that was completely inconsistent with his age, and carefully examined it.

His current movements have even reached or even surpassed the level of ordinary people in the prime of life, and if he compares with special forces, his combat effectiveness may not be good, but this agility is not inferior. These are all benefits that come with cultivation.

This rocket launch pad is more than twenty meters high, with Xiao Ran's agility, plus just checking a rough idea, it didn't take much time, when Wei Hua said this, Xiao Ran had already come down, he had always been silent, he didn't talk much, just spit out a few words: "The rocket is unqualified." Others are unknown. ”

Yang Chen smiled: "I know that the launch rocket is not qualified. But I'm not going to launch a rocket. Or rather, not rockets in the traditional sense. ”

Saying that, Yang Chen called everyone over and announced the first task of the project: "Develop a launch vehicle that can send objects into space." ”

"This tool, of course, cannot take a rocket in the traditional sense. However, the concept of attack is still the same, so let's name it rocket, but it should be called ......" Yang Chen showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Psionic rocket." ”

"Psionic Rocket?" the crowd thought.

"As you can see, this rocket launch platform is only about 20 meters high, which I just installed in the morning. Yang Chen said.

The parts of this launch platform had actually been refined in the refining room a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that the refining room was also a grand building, and the refining furnace itself was also very large, Yang Chen really couldn't get it out on his own.

In addition, this installation cannot be done by ordinary people, so it can only be carried out by Yang Chen using the power of the Great Array. The strength is still secondary, and the key to those important magic circles and runes can only be perfectly combined by Yang Chen and really play a role.

This platform looks more than twenty meters high, but in fact it is just a carrier, and the really important thing is still a whole formed by the runes and magic circles engraved on it.

This attack came from a later abandoned design scheme.

At that time, after the earth civilization recovered from the cataclysm, the technological level was already quite high. So to go to space, you don't need the traditional way of launching a rocket at all. Because this mode of launch vehicle is wasteful, inefficient, and not very technical. At that time, when it was decided to develop an asteroid mining spacecraft, this plan failed to pass and was directly eliminated. Later, it was only left as a technical reserve.

When this plan was set up at that time, it may be that the R&D personnel were more affected by the pre-cataclysm, and almost copied the design concept of the launch vehicle, but replaced the technology on the launch vehicle with psionic technology with the same effect.

This kind of thing seems to be simply not technical in later generations, but for now, it is just right. The design philosophy is the same, and the technology used is exactly what can be achieved now. As for the problem of high waste and low efficiency, is it still a problem now? This is not the era of poverty and whiteness after the cataclysm.

He also sorted out the memories in his mind some time ago and only occasionally turned over, and when he saw it, he decided to adopt it.

As for the plan of the later generations, the anti-gravity ability of the psionic nuclear fusion energy dual-wielding engine can easily allow a spacecraft weighing more than 10,000 tons and at least tens of meters or hundreds of meters long to break free from the earth's gravity and go to space. But the technical content is too high, just like when the current launch vehicle technology was brought to a hundred years ago, many things can only barely understand the purpose, as for how to make it, it can only be smeared.

In this scheme, the shape of the rocket remains the same, and the internal engine uses psionic nozzles, which do not obtain energy through chemical thermal reactions like traditional rockets, but obtain thrust through the burst of psionic energy. In this way, in terms of temperature, it is greatly reduced. On the one hand, it is safer, and on the other hand, it also reduces energy consumption.

In addition, the launch vehicle also has a small amount of anti-gravity ability, which can greatly reduce the weight of the rocket and the rocket carrier, and can probably reduce the overall weight by at least 21%. That's about one-fifth, and how much fuel can be saved by this - although the energy of the psionic rocket does not need to be burned, it still inherits the name of the fuel of traditional rockets - and you can imagine how much load can be added.

In fact, this is a low-order anti-gravity floating matrix. The high-level Yang Chen also knew how to arrange the formation, but there were no materials, and the level of the formation was not enough.

Wei Hua took a fancy to this technology at a glance, and looked at Yang Chen with fanaticism in his eyes: "Xiao Yang, can this anti-gravity technology be applied to traditional rockets?"

At present, Yang Chen's space industry has not done a good job, and even if it is done, the country is expected to not give up the traditional aerospace industry technology.

Technology itself is one thing, and the promotion and influence of the aerospace industry on other industries is another, which cannot be calculated simply by cost.

A simple example is the U.S. "Apollo" moon landing program, purely from the point of view of benefits, just landing on the moon and not going to the moon for mining, not much benefit at all. But this plan has become the technological engine of the United States, and it has brought decades of glory to the United States. If the funds, resources, and researchers needed for the moon landing program are simply used to develop the economy, it really can't achieve such an effect.

The principle is the same.

Of course, Weihua, a senior expert in the industry, understands this, and when he sees something that can be used in the traditional aerospace industry, he can't help it.

Yang Chen shook his head: "No." Wei Lao, you also know that when the aircraft is out of the atmosphere, it needs to reach the first cosmic velocity, and the friction between the aircraft and the air at such a high speed generates a huge amount of heat. For the time being, the material of the anti-gravity floating matrix cannot withstand such high temperatures. Fortunately, the psionic rocket is integrated into the magic circle and runes, and the heat energy can be used as an auxiliary propulsion energy through the power of the psionic rocket engine, which is not possible with traditional rockets. ”

"Can't......" Wei Hua's strength suddenly shifted, his eyes dimmed, and then lit up again: "Wait, you mean temporary?"

He grabbed Yang Chen's hand excitedly: "You mean, you can solve this problem?"

Yang Chen nodded: "In the long run, the space vehicles inside the spaceship should of course be manufactured in a construction factory outside the earth. But for now, we still have to send every vehicle from Earth into space. Research that can reduce the weight of aircraft is definitely extremely valuable. Moreover, the level of anti-gravity floating matrix in the current scheme is low, as long as the technology is further improved, it is possible to add high-temperature, high-speed materials or magic circles. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and study!" Wei Hua said hurriedly. He understands the importance of this technology. Even if this is a metaphysical technology, only monks can use it. But space launch is inherently a low-frequency, high-consumption industry. Even if it were to invite a monk to help with the anti-gravity floating matrix on every launch, it would be worth it.

Yang Chen helplessly spread his hands: "The technology can't reach it, and we don't have the level of breakthrough yet." So, let's take our time and get our psionic rockets out first. ”

"Step by step. Xiao Ran said four words next to him.

Wei Hua suddenly calmed down, after all, he was a former backbone aerospace industry person, and he still understood this: "I know, I was in a hurry." With the development of science, you can't become fat in one bite. Well, let's start working on psionic rockets. ”

Yang Chen shook his head: "Elder Wei, now you have other tasks. ”
