Chapter 253: A Day's Work
Chen Xu walked to his desk in cotton slippers, and the whole person was trapped in the wide boss chair, turning to look at the silver-covered world outside the window. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was floor heating in the room, Chen Xu didn't feel cold even if he was only wearing thin and loose pajamas, he crossed Erlang's legs and thought for a while, before turning the chair back, spreading out a clean white paper and pressing it with a paperweight, and then took out a sharpened pencil from the pen holder and drew a perfect arc on the white paper......
In just two hours, a perfect structural diagram of a key component of the Saturn 5 rocket had already appeared on the blank paper just now, and the circles were all annotations and formulas written in small block letters.
When Chen Xu stole the drawings in the underground vault heavily guarded by NASA, he found that many of the drawings of Saturn 5 were incomplete, and many of them were only partially designed.
This is because these drawings are all guesses and assumptions of the designer, and the subsequent design can only be completed according to the experimental data after a large number of experiments.
But the problem is that such experiments are so expensive that even Americans with deep pockets cannot put all the ideas of these scientists into practice. Genius ideas are often fanciful and do not consider the problem of funding at all, and if all their design drawings are turned into real objects, it is estimated that the Apollo moon landing program of the Americans will probably cost more than $30 billion.
These rocket scientists also seem to know that their ideas cannot become reality, so they can only calculate their whimsical designs in their minds, and then write them all on the drawings. Finally, save it for later, in case NASA has enough money to start his design.
It's a pity that these rocket scientists never expected that the economic environment in the United States was getting worse and worse after the Cold War, and NASA's annual budget was being cut every year. Congress would rather throw trillions of dollars in the sand of the Middle East than pay even a dollar more for the benefit of humanity in space.
When there is no interest in scientific research in space exploration, capitalists will lose interest in this matter, not to mention that the flower growers have become the locomotive that drives the global economy, becoming the second country in the world whose GDP has entered the 10 trillion dollar mark, and has become the world's largest nouveau rich. However, the two economic sticks of US imperialism that clamp down on the world have been replaced by flower planters, and only the US military is still holding on to the overall situation and attacking everywhere for the interests of the big American conglomerates.
The United States burns trillions in taxes, pays for the lives of soldiers, and they don't get a spoonful of oil. And Wall Street, energy conglomerates, and the military-industrial complex make a lot of money by manipulating Congress and the president to wage war, drinking wine in their mansions in Lower Manhattan and watching the pictures of American soldiers fighting to the death on TV, and these capitalists make money for themselves by controlling the whole of the United States, and a country controlled by capital is so pathetic.
The capitalists are so undisciplined, and the congressmen who represent the interests of the big business naturally have no time to care about the life or death of NASA, and they are pondering the world map at any time to see if there is any country that is disobedient and can teach the US military a lesson in the past, and consume huge military spending to win the favor of their masters.
Chen Xu didn't need to draw all the drawings of the Tuxing 5, the design drawings of such a large rocket all added up to at least 100 tons, and he couldn't finish painting it alone.
Unless there is a holographic virtual operating system like in the Iron Man movie, which is assisted in the design by artificial intelligence computers, it is impossible for him to draw all the design drawings of a rocket in his lifetime.
What Chen Xu is doing now is only drawing the general design idea of Saturn 5, and then focusing on the key components. China's rocket design is also very powerful, Chen Xu only needs to take out the overall design drawings and the core parts, they can draw inferences from one another and quickly enrich the design data of the entire rocket, and then carry out the actual manufacturing.
The original design parameters of the Saturn 5 do not need to be put into more thought by the rocket designers, just copy it and use it in the past. These data have been fully verified to meet the standards after hundreds of tests conducted by NASA. It has also been proven that every part of the entire rocket of the Saturn 5 can exert its abilities in flight without causing trouble and becoming the murderer of the rocket.
The only thing that needs to be nerve-wracking for Chinese rocket designers is that Chen Xu's design parameters are more demanding than those of Saturn 5, all of which need to be redesigned and experimented, and it will be much more difficult to apply these design parameters to the rocket than to take ready-made technology.
No one knows whether a manned rocket will work until it reaches the sky, and experiments with dogs and monkeys are not as real as the data obtained by manned people.
Like when the first manned spacecraft of the flower family was launched, Yang Liwei really risked his life to conduct experiments for the motherland's aerospace industry. Of course, the spacecraft has undergone countless calculations and experiments by scientists, and it is generally fine. The manned spacecraft is not much bigger than a small car, but there are tens of thousands of parts and equipment inside, and no one knows which part will suddenly have problems and cause astronauts to be injured.
As we all know, when Yang Liwei went to the sky as the first astronaut of the flower planter, he encountered a fatal hull resonance, which caused the astronaut's internal organs to be injured and bleeding.
It can be said that if the resonance had been a little more severe, our first manned spacecraft mission might have failed. Fortunately, the rocket and spacecraft disembodied and disappeared, and the astronauts regained their senses, although they experienced severe pain but did not affect the mission, but the body was so badly injured that they could not make a second flight, which is also the reason why Yang Liwei, as the country's first astronaut, could only go to heaven once.
For an astronaut, even a small scar on his body will not pass the screening, let alone a second flight if his internal organs have been damaged to such a degree.
The second is that after the spacecraft landed, the headset he hung on his ear bleed the corner of his mouth, and then he remembered that if this microphone was a little lower and came up on the astronaut's neck, it would be similar to being thrown a stick on the neck by nunchucks, and he would be seriously injured if he did not die.
Of course, with Yang Liwei's first experience, domestic scientists immediately solved these two fatal problems, and modified many of the internal designs of the spacecraft, so that astronauts will never have such fatal problems in the future.
However, this only solves the problem of the two steps of lift-off and landing, and after several experiments, the flower grower basically guarantees the success rate of these two steps. After completing these two steps, the flower planters began to build the space station, and then they landed on the moon and Mars, and flew out of the solar system in a hundred years.
But Chen Xu's Sky Dome plan is to land on Mars as the ultimate goal, a huge spaceship, a long journey, if there is a problem, don't count on the rescue of the earth, this command center across thousands of mountains and rivers can do nothing except be in a hurry, astronauts can only save themselves, as the elite of the elite selected from the whole country, they must ensure their health in such an environment, and then insist on completing the task.
Of course, Chen Xu will not be cruel enough to let the astronauts do complex tasks at the beginning, everything is done step by step, the first Mars mission is just to simply fly over and circle Mars, take a lot of photos and come back, as for the rest of the work will be done slowly.
The most nerve-wracking thing for Chen Xu now is the conjectural design drawings of NASA's rocket scientists, which are so fanciful that even NASA does not have so much money to turn these drawings into reality.
But now that Chen Xu has obtained these blueprints, he is a little hesitant to use them. Compared with the ready-made Saturn 5 drawings, these design drawings require Chen Xu to conduct several experiments, and this means that a steady stream of funds is needed, and sometimes a simple drawing may be hundreds of millions of dollars.
Chen Xu still doesn't know whether these great designs will be useful for the Mars spacecraft, so he can only work overtime to draw these drawings, and then let domestic rocket scientists judge and if they are useful, then they will be made for testing. If you don't use it to make a reference, it's also good, the stone of the other mountain can attack jade, and a good design can always be touched, which is a good example to learn.
"Chief, it's almost seven o'clock, let's draw after eating!" The air was filled with the rich umami of beef broth, and Chen Dasan brought in a bowl of blue and white porcelain soup on a tray.
He placed the soup bowl on a small half-meter-long table next to his desk, and a guard behind him followed him to place side dishes and a bowl of rice on top of it.
A bowl of beef stew with radish, a bowl of green vegetables and white rice, this is Chen Xu's dinner. It's not as ordinary people think, as the president of a 100-billion-dollar company, there must be at least eight dishes of sea cucumber and abalone a meal every day.
In fact, only a fool would do that, and if you can't eat so many dishes, you will be full with chopsticks, and if you eat slowly, the food will become cold. The most important thing to eat is the comfort of eating has nothing to do with more dishes and fewer dishes, Chen Xu doesn't like extravagance and waste, and he has enough to eat two dishes alone.
Chen Xu already had stomach problems, and the old Chinese medicine doctors reminded him that he needed to take it slowly, so Chen Xu chewed slowly when he ate, and he couldn't wait to chew every grain of rice before swallowing it.
While Chen Xu was eating, Chen Dasan and another guard always stood in the arched door of the study and office.
Chen Xu's safety is greater than the sky, even if Chen Xu sleeps, someone stands outside the bedroom door on duty, let alone during the day. At least two or more guards must be close to you at all times!
Seeing that Chen Xu finished eating, Chen Dasan came over and took away the dishes and chopsticks, and he could also go to the cafeteria to eat, and the next night, two other guards who had finished eating would go upstairs to take over the work on duty.
After eating, Chen Xu burped and walked back and forth in the room doing stretching exercises, and then wiped his famous watch in the collection room next to the study and wound it to the door. Sometimes he will open one of the cases and take all the parts inside apart for maintenance, and this is the time when he is most relaxed.
Feeling that the food in his stomach was almost digested, Chen Xu sat back at the desk, picked up the pencil and sharpened the tip of the pen with a pencil sharpener, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and added a few important formulas to the picture that was almost completed.
