December 1.

The International Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space issued an urgent announcement stating that the International Outer Space Parliament had postponed its proceedings due to force majeure.

As for when the postponement will be, they didn't say it clearly, obviously they are afraid that they will set the date, and when the time comes, they will not come to Dongtang, and this face will really be lost.

And Johnson and Rhine have already reported the results of the conversation to the Mi Li family and the Western Continent Alliance.

But what they don't know is that they have a traitor among them, and that is the Space Agency of the Sun Country.

Because the six major consortia of the Sun Kingdom joined the Galaxy Consortium is very secretive, the two sides have shown fierce competition in the cooperation, such as in Southeast Asia, Turkey and Macao, the competition is really fierce, and even-for-tat.

Therefore, the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance were not too wary of the Sun Country, so when they discussed some things, they did not avoid the representatives of the Sun Country, so that some of the details of the Mi Li family were known to the Galaxy Consortium.

In the face of this kind of cheating situation, Rhein and Johnson have hit a wall everywhere in the past few days, and every time they want to put forward any conditions or cooperation, they are completely refuted by Zhao Hongxing.

The melancholy of Rhine and Johnson is like the water of the Yangtze River, especially Johnson, he is the most bitter, because he is Belgian, and if it were not for the status of the chairman of the Outer Space Committee, he would not have come here to suffer this bird sin.

The other side.

Pakistan-China base.

Li Zhongting sent a test report to Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others, and this test report was a comprehensive test report of Xuanwu No. 001, No. 003, and No. 005.

Space Development Committee, inside the internal holographic conference room.

"Judging from the test results, the overall problem of the spacecraft is not big, and it is detected that there are three positions of aging, namely the main engine nozzle F136 area, which is slightly deformed; In the G76 and G164 thermal insulation layers on the top of the spacecraft, the first thermal insulation layer was burned through. Li Zhongting pointed to the report and explained to everyone.

"The Xuanwu-class No. 002 and No. 004 at the Kaohsiung base have engine nozzle deformation, I read your report, and your 001 and 005 also have this problem, which seems to be a common problem." Wang Tu said with a frown.

"Indeed, I think there may be a problem in the engine port F136 area, and we have instructed the R&D department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of this location and strive to solve this problem as soon as possible." Li Zhongting agreed with Wang Tu's statement.

After all, four of the six airships have engine nozzle deformation, which is certainly not an isolated phenomenon, and they must pay attention to it.

Wang Tu then clicked on the thermal insulation layer on the top of the spacecraft and said: "The phenomenon of the first layer of thermal insulation being burned through in some areas appeared in Xuanwu No. 003 and No. 006, which is very likely to be caused by errors in the processing of materials. ”

"It's actually a very good problem to solve." Wang Guanghai said suddenly.

"Oh? Wang, what do you suggest?" Li Zhongting hurriedly asked.

"You are a fan of the authorities, that hybrid gel is a very good thermal insulation material, the Qinglong grade I am in charge of has now switched to this hybrid gel, and I find this hybrid gel to be a really good thing." Wang Guanghai said as he handed out a document to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly opened the document sent by Wang Guanghai, and the most important one was Li Zhongting, and after studying it carefully, he realized that he had underestimated this mixed gel.

"It's incredible, it can reduce the thickness of the insulation layer by 80%, the weight by 60%, the insulation effect is 6~7 times that of the previous one, and it can withstand the extreme temperature of 14,000 degrees Celsius." Zhao Hongxing exclaimed.

"Not only that, but its strength is also amazing, about 80% stronger than high-strength titanium alloys, and it is also very powerful for blocking cosmic rays." Wang Guanghai said with a smile.

"Have you tested it? I mean, cosmic ray isolation?" Li Zhongting asked hurriedly.

"Of course, such an important thing, how could I leak it, 1 mm thickness of the mixed gel is equivalent to about 23 mm of lead plate, 3.2 mm thickness reaches the maximum, equivalent to 267 mm thickness of lead plate, and then increase the thickness, the cosmic ray isolation effect is not significantly improved." Wang Guanghai explained.

Li Zhongting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Huang is simply a genius, what he invented casually not only solves the sealing problem of vacuum pipes, but also is so useful for heat insulation, cosmic ray isolation, and parts assembly." ”

"However, the isolation effect of neutron rays is only about 20%, and the isolation effect of gamma rays is only about 3%, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment!" Wang Guanghai called up the data and said.

"Lao Wang, don't be insatiable, now this effect is the strongest among the materials known to mankind, and the ray isolation material is the strongest." Li Zhongting scolded with a smile.

"In this case, we changed the insulation material to a hybrid gel, and coated the spacecraft with a 3.2mm hybrid gel film, which can reduce a lot of the radiation isolation layer." Wang Tu clapped his hands and said.

"I agree, but there is no need to change Xuanwu No. 001~006, after all, we have more tasks in the future, just coat a layer of film." Zhao Hongxing proposed.

"Yes, that's it." Li Zhongting nodded in agreement.

After they discussed the details, Wang Tu diverged the topic: "Due to the breakthrough progress made by the vacuum airship of the Airship Research Institute, the latest ring-type airship A 30 can already maintain the flight altitude at an altitude of about 96 kilometers, and there is no need for our space station to stay in a low-earth orbit of 160 kilometers." ”

"Is it the kind of airship that replaces hydrogen with a vacuum?" Zhao Hongxing asked.

"Speaking of which, this vacuum airship can be successful, thanks to the mixed gel material, and the vacuum bladder is made of mixed gel." Wang Tu explained with a smile.

"This material is amazing, it's a universal material." Li Zhongting was impressed.

"Talking about business, the new Kaohsiung space station will complete the orbit upgrade on December 3, raising the orbital altitude to around 450 kilometers in low-earth orbit." Wang Tu planned to say it.

"Then you will ascend the orbit first, and we will study the orbit upgrade plan of the space station in the new Paklin." Zhao Hongxing didn't want to act so hastily.

Wang Tu nodded: "Yes, if you want to upgrade the track, you will send us a notice." ”

"No problem, after you ascend to orbit, we will launch Xuanwu-class 001 and send two space station cabins up." Zhao Hongxing talked about the plan of the Dongtang Space Agency.

"When?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th."

"By the way, the representatives of the Outer Space Committee and the Hans family are still in the Bazhong Space City?" Wang Tu asked suddenly.

Zhao Hongxing nodded: "It's still there, they still want to visit the launch of the 4th, and I agreed." ”

"Do they still want to buy a mass projector?"

"Yes."

Wang Tu pursed his lips and shook his head and said, "These two guys are just pathfinders, and the main master is really calm." ”

"They don't want to come, so drag it down slowly, and see who can't sit still when the time comes?" Zhao Hongxing said indifferently.

As Zhao Hongxing said, now Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium are not in a hurry, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for themselves.

What should really be anxious are the Mi Lijia, the Xizhou Alliance, and the Mao Bear.

As the scale of the aerospace of Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium became larger and larger, Zhao Hongxing did not believe that these guys would be indifferent, if they were really indifferent, Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium would be even happier.
