Chapter 5 The Miraculous Kanxing Civilization
Heaven!
Tang Chao can now translate for anyone, what is a paradise for aerospace enthusiasts!
The place where he is now is a paradise for aerospace enthusiasts!
A whole warehouse of rocket engines, without duplicate ones.
From the door code to the other side, change a line, then from the other side to the door, then change a line, then code to the other side, then change a line, and then ......
"Cow batch, real cow batch!"
Tang Chao sighed, tears almost left from the corners of his mouth, not because he was not angry, but because he was really greedy.
He covets these rocket engines.
Adhering to the theory that "heart is better than action", he reached out and touched the nearest rocket engine.
This engine is completely black, with an estimated height of about 1.5 meters and a diameter of about 80 centimeters.
The upper part of the combustion chamber is covered by a hood, which blocks the complex piping and makes it look even more tidy.
The bell-shaped nozzle at the bottom has a circle of fuel delivery pipes, and their function is to make the fuel go around the nozzle before entering the combustion chamber, so that the nozzle can be cooled and preheated, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Its designer is definitely a little clever ghost.
Feeling the hard and cold touch of the engine's feedback, Tang Chao's heart was unusually hot, he recognized this engine as the KS-25 "vector" liquid fuel engine.
It was supposed to be based on the RS-25 rocket engine from the real-life American Rickon, but in order to match the characteristics of this game, the size and thrust were changed to be smaller.
Coincidentally, there is a big guy next to it that looks like it.
Most of the big guy's color is black and gray, and the bell-shaped nozzle is also a circle of fuel delivery pipes, except that the combustion chamber part of it is not enclosed by a cover, and some silver lines are exposed.
The reason why this engine is called "big guy" is because it is really big, according to Tang Chao's observation, it is at least four meters high and more than two meters in diameter.
It's the size of a straightened dirt bike.
Tang Chao needs to look up to see it, and he has to look back a little further to see the comprehensiveness.
This is the real-world RS-25 rocket engine, the main engine of the Merrican Space Shuttle, which once amazed the world, and was later given a new mission as the core stage power of the SLS rocket.
That's it......
The ......
That ......
Belch......
Anyway, it is a big rocket that keeps releasing pigeons in the "inner position" and carries the hope of Merriken returning to the moon.
Tang Chao knew every engine in the warehouse, and during the tour, every engine was also touched by him.
After all, it's all here, and I'm too sorry for my hand if I don't touch it.
According to Werner, this warehouse is actually a sample warehouse, with one for each model of rocket engine.
Next to it, there is a warehouse dedicated to the corresponding engines, and the storage quantity of each engine is 100.
The same goes for the others, what command cabins, fuel tanks, detection modules, wings, landing gear, etc., miscellaneous, the base number is 100.
There are all kinds of modular things, as long as he, the big boss, gives an order, he can assemble a large launch vehicle on the spot.
Therefore, the entire underground space is quite huge, so huge that it is beyond Tang Chao's imagination.
So Tang Chao decided: change the goal.
"Back home, back to the ground."
The extra-long excursion route calmed him down.
In fact, this kind of super-large-scale storage warehouse can be regarded as answering one of his questions, or filling a hole.
When playing the game, just drag the parts you need from the list anyway, deduct the corresponding money, and the parts can be used.
Now that he's here, and there's a bit of a real-world sense here, it makes sense to switch to a massive stockpile of parts.
It's just that no matter how many you have, there will be a time when you run out.
Although it is not possible to build a spaceship in a few minutes like in the game, and it will be consumed as much and fast as it is in the game, but the number of 100 is actually not too much.
[What should I do if I run out?] 】
Tang Chao wrote it out and asked Werner.
[If you run out of parts, place an order with the corresponding company, and the management building does this.] 】
Werner wrote.
Although the space center has a research and development center, it only has laboratory-level manufacturing capacity, which is not only expensive but also cannot be mass-produced. 】
[If it is a technology independently developed by other companies, we need to buy it in full, and if it is a technology developed by the center in cooperation with other companies, we only need to pay a certain percentage of the funds. 】
[After the manufacturing is completed, they are responsible for the delivery, which will be transported by plane or cargo ship......]
Tang Chao knew what the company was, and he saw it when he was playing games...... Introduce.
For example, when you look at such and such a part, the information will tell you that it comes from such and such a company.
Career mode requires the completion of contracts with certain companies to earn money, prestige, and the like.
It's just that now when he sees the order, production, delivery and other links, should he say that it is worthy of the "real world"?
When he visited the Canxing Space Center before, he just took a cursory look at the management building, thinking that the people there were just dealing with errands, and he didn't ask.
After all, the game is just a page.
And there are really no people on the game except for the space center, and there are really no people anywhere else.
The results now tell him that there is really useful, it is the management and outreach agency of the space center.
Yes, it makes sense, little green people are blooming everywhere to provide him with lucrative contracts.
I didn't ask before, but now I have to ask, and I must put the phrase "I don't understand, just ask".
Then, a more realistic world of Kanxing opened its arms to him.
According to the information provided by Werner, Tang Chao found that the Kanxing civilization seemed to exist entirely around the process of designing, building, launching, and piloting rockets and planes, because most of the laboratories, factories, and buildings on Kanxing were dedicated to exhibiting aviation or aerospace technology.
This is understandable, after all, these are the core of the game "Kanxing", and since this world comes from this game, it is normal for this world to have these characteristics.
And because the template used in the game design is human civilization itself, you can see a large number of "earth culture" figures in Kanxing, including architecture, culture, technology, etc.
For example, the technology that the Canxing people have.
The technical routes of liquid-fuel engines, solid-fuel engines and jet engines are basically the same as those of the earth, and the level of technology is also similar.
There are also radio communications, computers, telescopes, optical instruments, etc., and the level of science and technology and the development line are basically similar.
Then there are the reinforced concrete structures, which, like the earth, are modern earth-style buildings on the water.
If you don't look at the little green men walking around, many people will probably think that it is somewhere on the earth.
Of course, this is only external, superficial.
This "similar" is more like an average, because the game has adjusted the technology level for playability, some downwards and some upwards.
For example, the thrust of the engine is generally small, which is down.
Because the planet is smaller than the Earth, and the little green man is smaller than the human, the engine thrust is also smaller.
Just like the KS-25, its thrust is more than ninety tons, and its template RS-25 has two hundred tons.
Of course, it's also a lot smaller.
There are many upward adjustments.
For example, materials.
Maybe it's to make the success rate of the aircraft a little higher, in order to make the technology of "up-tuning" possible, although the game doesn't say it explicitly, but in fact, the various materials in the game are really dripping (crossed out), really strong!
It is the "Kanxing Materials Science" that players are amazed by.
Now it has become a "reality", which leads to the fact that Kanxing materials science is indeed a good batch.
There is also ion engine technology, which has also been upgraded technically.
The thrust of the ion engine on the earth has just broken through the "N" and is still in the single digits, while the thrust of the ion engine on the Kanxing has reached the "KN" level.
There are also air tip ciston engines, nuclear power engines, intelligent aerospace engines, etc., which are more complete than the relevant technologies on the earth and have reached the level of usability.
This is still the original game content, and the mod is even more awesome.
It just so happened that Tang Chao installed a lot of mods, and that's how the rocket engines that weren't originally available in the game came about.
Seeing this, Tang Chao suddenly had a toothache.
Regret, very much regret.
Why didn't you install the fusion mod before, if you installed that, now you can enter the era of nuclear fusion.
But when he saw the back, he felt, maybe, probably, not necessarily.
According to the records, it seems that the Kanxing people will have all kinds of random accidents, and they will appear inexplicably.
Tang Chao also encountered it when playing games, and under normal circumstances, there must have been a bug, and even jokingly said that this phenomenon was an encounter with a "deep space kraken".
And in these materials, he saw similar records.
The little greens are careful about the records, but when he actually came here, I feel that it may have something to do with the Kanxing setting, which is "brave" and "stupid".
"Brave" is to keep them forever passionate about flying and exploring, while "stupid" is probably not wanting them to succeed so smoothly.
Is this a balanced gameplay?
Tang Chao didn't know.
It's just that after understanding this, he feels that those inexplicable accidents may be caused by the "stupidity" of the little green man, such as not doing a good job of testing, misoperation, etc.
He's a gamer, and he knows that the little green man has a "stupid" premise and that it's fun, but the little green man doesn't.
Watching a little green man dance and report to Werner, Tang Chao felt more and more that what he was thinking might be right.
