"Mighty rocket!"

"No worse than any super rocket in development!"

Seeing the technical indicators of the "Voyage", people thought so.

Not to mention the Long March 9, it has been very hot recently, with a core stage diameter of 9.5 meters, a fairing diameter of 7.5 meters, a take-off weight of 4,137 tons, and a low-earth orbit carrying capacity of 180 tons, even to 200 tons.

Starship, or booster + starship, the overall recyclable starship on the top is the body.

Its data has been changed many times, and the current core stage diameter is 9 meters, and the diameter of the starship that transports cargo people is also 9 meters, because it needs to be recovered, so the carrying capacity of low earth orbit is about 150 tons.

On the contrary, the carrying capacity of the Moon and Mars is 100+, and the unit is tons.

Because it can be "refueled in the air".

Starship is a big guy and can carry hundreds of tons of cargo to the Moon and Mars with just a few refueling in orbit.

However, it remains to be seen whether a safe and stable "orbital refueling" can be achieved in the future.

Then there is the Ace Pigeon SLS, with a core stage diameter of 10 meters, a manned version with a fairing diameter of 5 meters, a cargo version of 10 meters, a take-off mass of 2,500 tons for the manned version, 2,950 tons for the cargo version, and a low earth orbit capacity of 70 tons for the manned version and 130 tons for the cargo version.

Finally, there is the "little brother" of New Glenn, with a core stage of 7 meters, a fairing diameter of 7 meters, a take-off weight of 1,500 tons, and a low-earth orbit carrying capacity of ...... 45 tons.

Because of the recovery of the first-stage rocket, the carrying capacity is affected, and if it is not recovered, it can reach more than 60 tons.

Originally, the heavy Falcon rocket could also be on the list, but its 3.7-meter core stage diameter was too stretched, and the low-earth orbit carrying capacity of more than 60 tons was often questioned, so many people did not regard it as a super rocket.

And the "Yuanhang" rocket has a take-off mass of 2,500 tons and a carrying capacity of 110 tons in low earth orbit, which is quite good among these super rockets of different sizes.

And look at the design, the "Voyage" rocket also has a recovery scheme, the recovery method of the first-stage rocket is similar to that of the Heavy Falcon, it is a grid wing plus landing gear, and the core stage of the "Voyage" is thicker, compared with the heavy hunting core stage like a bamboo pole, it is easier to stand firm.

The most fierce thing is that the second-stage rocket of the "Voyage" into orbit must also be recovered!

However, instead of recycling as a whole, only five "super vector" engines were recycled.

The "Super Vector" engine is an upgraded version of the KS-25 "Vector" engine, and the thrust has been upgraded from 95 tons to 110 tons.

Its recovery plan is to wait for the "device and arrow separation", the engine is also separated from the second stage arrow body, and then the inflatable heat shield is opened for orbital reentry.

The inflatable heat shield was one of the two previous experiments carried by the Long March 5B launch vehicle, and the orbital re-entry was abnormal, which was considered a failure.

Tang Chao used that thing in his plan, although it has not yet succeeded on the earth, but Kanxing has already been mass-produced.

It is also available in several size classes for ease of use.

And looking at Captain Tang's introduction, many of the technologies of this rocket have been broken.

For example, the 200-ton thrust "Super Mainsail" engine has a 140-ton "Mainsail" engine as the base, and there are still traces to follow when upgrading.

And the PPT also talked about technical problems, the pilot company used new materials, increased the room pressure, and has been overcome.

The same goes for the "super vector" engine.

Originally, the "Super Mainsail" burned liquid oxygen kerosene, and the "Super Vector" burned liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, which are not suitable for recycling rocket fuel compared to "liquid oxygen methane" fuel.

And because of those new materials, their recycling has become possible.

And those materials, the Navigator company has the core technology, in fact, like the inflatable heat shield, from the hands of the little green man.

There is also a 5-meter diameter arrow body, which is really not a top notch, after all, there are 7-meter, 8-meter, 9-meter, and 10-meter arrow bodies.

The diameter of the arrow body is larger and smaller, in addition to the technical limitations, there are also the limitations of the site and the limitation of demand.

Tianxia has been using rocket bodies with a diameter of more than 3 meters for a long time, because before the Binhai launch center was put into use, they had to take a train to the launch center in the mountains, and the train tunnel limited the diameter of the rocket body.

People have begun to savor it when they see this, this is the legendary poor technology?

If this is poor technology, then they also want to be "poor technology".

And that's not all, the most important thing is that they look behind and find that this rocket is not a pure PPT.

After introducing those, Captain Tang walked out of the conference room and came to their workshop, showing the camera the "Super Mainsail" engine, the "Super Vector" engine, the five-meter alloy forging ring, the new tank segment and so on!

There are physical objects, indicating that the creation of a new rocket has already begun.

Finally, standing in front of the "Super Mainsail" engine, Captain Tang said solemnly to the camera: "I still say that, I am very disappointed in the official Merrican." ”

"After winning the first place in the Moon Grand Prix, we did not stop or have any pride, but are actively preparing for our new rocket and preparing to do our part for the aerospace cause of all mankind."

"And they kicked us out of the bidding team for the moon contract without any inquiry or notice, and said we were not technical."

"Then I can't help but ask, the first place in the Moon Grand Prix is not good at the technique, and then the second, third, fourth place, etc., is it necessary to compare?"

"Merriken Space, is it still the light of humanity?"

"Can you still lead humanity to the stars?"

Good guys, eat melons, eat melons, eat crazy melons!

Regardless of whether the Merrican space agency has ever thought about becoming the light of humanity, Merriken has definitely thought so officially.

He also shouted the slogan "For all mankind".

For a while, they did do that, and the government was very supportive, throwing money at it.

Later, after the dissolution of the White Bear Alliance, the government found that "for the sake of all mankind" was too tired, and it was not necessary, so it was better to do it for itself first.

After that, many space projects were cut, and the space cities, lunar colonization, and Mars colonization plans that mankind dreamed of were gone.

Until some time ago, Merriken's understanding king directly shouted the slogan "America First", and they are no longer the same as they were at the beginning.

Now Tang Chao is using the slogan "For all mankind" to fight them again, and everyone knows that there is a good show to watch.

Just like Captain Tang said, the detailed technology of the "Yuanhang" rocket, and some parts have already been made, it will definitely not be a matter of one or two days, and it must have been prepared for a long time.

As for why it was not announced at the beginning, perhaps it was just to stand on a higher level before announcing it.

After all, the team of the "Kanxing Lunar Landing Department" was initially ridiculed for just playing games, and came to the space competition to join in the fun.

If there are not enough results, they will only be ridiculed more if they announce such plans, and they will be considered whimsical.

So, they got the first place.

It was the first step they had climbed.

After they won the first place, they didn't even finish the press conference, and Merriken directly disqualified them from competing for the moon landing contract without any communication, which is too much to say.

There must be something unsightly going on.

Those who already believed in conspiracy theories immediately became excited, and here the Merrican people were the most excited.

Since the epidemic, it has been almost a year, during which the various operations of their own government, although many people believe the government's nonsense, but a considerable number of people have been holding back their fire. "I said, they must have a conspiracy, they must have made secret deals with those big companies and squeezed out this small company!"

"That's right, they do it every time!"

"Although I don't know how to build rockets, I know that super rockets must be very troublesome to prepare, this company has just won the first place, maybe it is preparing to report the information, but the result is directly disqualified from the competition, I find it hard to believe that there is no secret trade here."

"This is the monopoly, the monopoly of Chiguoguo! Against monopolies!! ”

“freedom！！！！”

Well, this last sentence will never be less.

Then, a lot of people took to the streets.

I have to say that sometimes the Merrican people are very interesting, showing the contradictions and complexities of human beings.
