Chapter Forty-Four: The Quest to Enter Kan Xing Again
Tang Chao found that every time he came to Kanxing, he brought a lot of tasks, and there were more and more of them.
At first, he was a little confused, that is, he just found out the situation.
Later, he came with various purposes, and naturally he had more and more things to do.
It's the same this time.
The first is to prepare for the next video recording of the rocket thruster, and even if he wants to record it directly in Kanxing, he will save tossing on both sides.
The rocket engine to be tested this time is completely different from the previous two, the first two are only one or two tons, which is not bad in amateur rockets, but it has never been put on the table.
cough, of course, of course, it's just that Tang Chao thinks so, and the actual thrust of one or two tons is not small, and he doesn't mean to look down on amateur players.
It's just that the diameter is 1.3 meters and the thrust is 16.6 tons...... It's so fragrant.
If the previous engine could send a student's bag full of homework to the sky, he could go to school and say to the teacher, "I really did my homework, but I was sent into space by a rocket."
So now the thrust is enough to send one or two hundred kilograms of load into space.
In other words, with this engine, if he can build a rocket, he can enter the launch market of microsatellites.
It is possible to cross over from the realm of "amateur fun" to the realm of "making money with rockets".
This is a qualitative leap.
At present, the global aerospace industry has 400 billion US dollars, of which the satellite industry can account for about 80%.
According to the quality of the satellite, satellites smaller than 1000 kg are usually called microsatellites.
Microsatellites have the advantages of flexible launch mode, low development and launch cost, and short development cycle.
Thanks to the progress of microelectronic technology, the development of lightweight materials and the emergence of high-power solar cells, small satellites have developed rapidly and are widely used in global civil communications, remote sensing meteorology, earth science, space science, planetary exploration, technology verification and other fields.
In recent years, some developed countries abroad, especially Merrican, attach great importance to the launch and application of medium and low orbit small satellites, and have issued a series of policies to encourage and promote the research and development of small satellite technology and business.
Those news that kill a dozen birds with one stone, dozens or more than a hundred stars are talking about this kind of "little potato".
It is estimated that the market for such microsatellites is also close to $10 billion.
This is still in two or three years, and there will definitely be more in the future.
Of course, according to the "normal" regulations on Merrican's side, as long as the satellite uses Merrican's technology or parts, Tianxia cannot be launched, so the market on Tianxia's side is definitely not that big.
But...... Now that he is here, as long as the operation is good, why should other countries use Merrican's technology, it is expensive and troublesome, there are many rules and regulations, and how good it is to use the technology of the Navigator company.
Well, he can't look down on the launch market of micro-small satellites, so let's give it to other companies, he doesn't need to compete with others for this kind of market.
If you even grab this, it will be too bullying, so let's transfer the technology and let the small domestic aerospace companies rob it with foreign ones.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the second purpose of his visit this time.
He does not plan to use the original "small thrust" rocket engines in Kanxing, but he can also sell them to domestic or foreign aerospace companies.
The thrust of a single-chamber liquid rocket engine here can reach up to 140 tons, 190 tons with a twin chamber, and 382 tons with a quadruple chamber.
Solid-fuel engines with the largest thrust can reach 300 tons.
This is all sea level thrust, and the vacuum thrust can be even greater.
It's enough for these engine technologies to be sold to those space companies on Earth.
Those large companies that have developed hundreds of tons of high-thrust rocket engines may not care, but those small aerospace companies that do not have the ability to develop high-thrust rocket engines, or even small thrust, must be in great demand.
You must know that the Falcon 9 rocket engine, which created a miracle of private spaceflight, has a thrust of less than 80 tons.
Although it is because of the small size of the Merlin engine, a rocket can fit many units, but the rocket engine of Kanxing is also not large.
The things on Kan are notoriously small.
However, there is a problem with the original engine of Kanxing, that is, the specific rush is too small, which was originally just a game limitation, but when it comes to the "real Kanxing", it becomes caused by the environment of the old Kanxing world.
Tang Chao definitely can't take out this kind of engine, and he needs to ask Kanxing's engineers to change it and update the version.
Moreover, there is another problem with the rocket engine produced by Kanxing Technology, that is, the engine is only divided into solid and liquid state, while the liquid rocket engine is only divided into liquid fuel and oxidizer, and there is no distinction between liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, kerosene, liquid oxygen methane and the like.
Of course, this is the classification when playing the game, and when he actually arrived at Kanxing, he found that they were still divided, the same as on Earth.
Just like the KS-25 "vector" liquid-fuel engine, like its RS-25 daddy engine on Earth, it uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
It's limited by the original game setting.,Than a batch of rushes.。
Must upgrade!
Fortunately, the original manufacturers of those engines also think so, some engines can be thrown away, but some models can be renewed, upgrading an engine can be much less labor-saving than researching a higher thrust engine from scratch.
And they also found out, what did their designers think before, why can the engine be designed so badly?
It's simply an insult to the company's reputation.
They don't know if it's the game setting, or if it's the "will of the universe" for them.
So there is no need for Tang Chao to worry about this, he only needs to wait for those companies to buy their technology after the engine upgrade is completed.
There are various restrictions to be observed in Kanxing, but there are no such restrictions on Earth.
"Hey, hey, hey."
There is another one, and that is the cartoon he just invested in.
Lao Dong's comics are science fiction stories with mecha as the main body, with national wars and scenes of counterattacking aliens after finding the source of the incident.
It involves mechanical exoskeletons, power armor, mechas, sci-fi planes, starships, etc., which can be said to have a wide range.
This story is not too new, but the various vehicles in it are set up well, and it can be seen that there are many similar machines that exist in reality.
It's just that this is not enough, Tang Chao wants to make these mechanical settings more realistic, and even make the audience think that they can be made after seeing them.
In fact, Tang Chao thought the same way, so he came to Kanxing engineer, and he believed that Kanxing Technology would definitely give him a satisfactory explanation.
He invested in the cartoon and bought the copyright by the way, so he wanted to make it a masterpiece.
Before, when Dong Chen drew it, it was just set up, but later Lin Qixian joined to make the story stronger, and now Tang Chao has added it again, and his task is to make these vehicles look like the real thing.
For example, let the shape of the vehicle be handsome and reasonable, and then add some details to display, make some settings, and so on.
Then, he wanted to make everything inside.
He used to just play in games, and he wanted to see what it would be like to get these things to Earth.
Just like the mechanical exoskeleton, this thing is relatively the simplest.
He downloaded a lot of relevant materials before coming in this time, and asked Kanxing engineers to design them based on the data, and the realism of the mechanical exoskeleton in the comics definitely skyrocketed.
In fact, it's designed to be machine-based.
Of course, the comics certainly don't show so many details, but they can already make people think it's real when they see it.
The effect he wants to achieve is that people think these things are "object effects", but in fact they are real people!
"So, Werner, how do you feel?"
"Boss, you're a genius!"
