The Institute of Electromagnetic Catapult is conducting tests of mass projectors at the same time.

Aerospace agencies around the world have discovered this thing.

The Dongtang Space Agency, as the local aerospace management department, although they have been notified in advance, know that Galaxy Technology is going to test the mass projector today.

But they are not optimistic about the quality projector of Galaxy Technology.

The reason is very simple, the mass projector is different from the space rocket, the speed of the space rocket is slow first and then fast, with the continuous consumption of fuel, the mass of the rocket continues to decrease, plus the blessing of the planet's rotation force, and with the rise of altitude, the speed will continue to accelerate, so as to break through the Kármán line and reach the specified orbit.

The mass projector has a very large muzzle velocity, which just collides with the dense atmosphere at the bottom, thus consuming a huge amount of kinetic energy, and the speed will become slower and slower.

In this way, it is necessary to build vacuum pipelines to reduce atmospheric resistance, and the problem is that this kind of vertical vacuum pipelines of more than a few kilometers is simply a big pit, and there are not trillions of Chinese dollars, so don't even think about it.

Don't look at the vacuum pipeline of the Strait Bridge built by Galaxy Technology, lying flat on the ground and perpendicular to the ground, this difficulty is definitely a geometric increase, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.

They have trillions of Chinese dollars, and it is better to build a high-thrust launch vehicle or a space shuttle.

Although several space agency bigwigs know that Galaxy Technology has room temperature superconductors, room temperature superconductors are not omnipotent, and other problems with mass projectors are still difficult.

However, they were still surprised by the test results of Galaxy Technology today, and the monitoring satellite showed that the projected object was about 94 kilometers above sea level.

"What do you think?" Wang Guanghai, chief designer of the aerospace system, looked at the monitoring results and asked Li Zhongting, the chief engineer on the side.

Li Zhongting looked at the monitoring results: "Judging from the monitoring results of the satellite, the volume of the projectile is quite large, estimated to be about 400~500 cubic meters, such a large volume, the weight will not be small, how can it be about twenty or thirty tons." ”

"I didn't expect the old horse to be still old!" Wang Guanghai said with a smile.

"It's not that the old horse is powerful, but the technology of Galaxy Technology is powerful, don't forget their room temperature superconductor and strong magnetic repulsion materials, these two materials can greatly improve the explosive power of the mass projector." Li Zhongting is the key to the door.

"I don't know if they plan to solve the problem of vacuum pipelines and then they don't really want to invest trillions to dig the Himalayas, right?" Wang Guanghai joked.

Li Zhongting shook his head: "It is unlikely to dig the Himalayas, the first Galaxy Technology does not have this money, and the second Huang Haojie's idea is that I can't see through it." ”

"If they make it smaller, they might be able to project it above the Kármán line, and then start the rocket engine and reach the designated orbit." Wang Guanghai thought for a while and said.

"There is no vacuum pipe, and once the initial velocity is too fast, I am afraid that the projected object will disintegrate in the air."

"Let's wait and see!"

……

The other side.

Mi Lijia NASA.

"Report, unidentified object launched by Dongtang has been monitored."

"Directions east longitude...... The current altitude is 67,000 meters, which is rising rapidly, and the speed is 1,973 meters per second, and the speed is decreasing. ”

NASA Administrator Maxwell heard the report of his subordinates and hurried to the space monitoring room.

"How's it going?"

"The unidentified object has returned to the ground, this is the picture taken by the surveillance satellite, and the monitoring data," Dr. Archimedes clicked on the computer monitor.

"Tell me about the specifics." Maxwell asked, looking at the picture on the computer.

Dr. Tyrant touched his chin and replied, "This thing doesn't look like a launch vehicle or a space shuttle, it's like something else." ”

"Those tungsten rod projectors in Dongtang!" Dr. Archimedes added.

"You're saying this thing was projected by a mass projector?" Maxwell asked hurriedly.

Dr. Archimedes clicked on the speed, altitude, and azimuth analysis charts of the flying objects: "Mr. Mack, just look at these data. ”

Speed is inversely proportional to altitude, as altitude rises, velocity decreases, and the azimuth is almost perpendicular to the ground, seeing these data analysis, Maxwell immediately knew that Dr. Archimedes was right.

"This thing was definitely launched by a mass projector, and they should be testing it." As Dr. Tyrant spoke, something suddenly occurred to him:

"By the way, there seems to be some records in the past few months!"

The person in charge of the database on the side hurriedly called up the latitude and longitude data of Caiyu Island.

After a check, eleven monitoring data were found.

"I thought they were doing a tungsten rod projection test, but now it looks like they're doing a mass projector test." Dr. Tyrant said, pointing to the data.

Dr. Archimedes lifted his glasses and looked at the monitoring data in the computer.

"Indeed it is! They are projecting higher and higher altitudes and mass, this time at an altitude of 94 kilometers, and if a rocket engine is installed on it, it can break through the Kármán line and enter space at any time. ”

"Judging from the data monitored by satellites, this projected item is a regular hexagonal cylinder, with a side length of about 3 meters, a height of about 12 meters, and a volume of about 432 cubic meters, so its mass will definitely not be small." Dr. Tyrant also voiced his analysis.

"So, if they reduce the size of the projectile, they can definitely hit space." Maxwell's face was hard to look at.

"No, it's not that simple, it's too fast, it consumes too much kinetic energy in the bottom atmosphere, unless they erect a vacuum pipe about ten kilometers long......" Dr. Archimedes shook his head.

Maxwell interrupted Dr. Archimedes to continue, "No, it's definitely a threat, our great rice grains can't be left behind, gentlemen, what do you say?"

Dr. Tyrant and Dr. Archimedes looked at each other and smiled, they had obviously reacted, and Dr. Archimedes quickly changed his words:

"That's right, we can't lag behind Dongtang, we have to explain the situation to the parliament, if we don't increase the allocation, we will fall behind."

"For the sake of honor, for the sake of lard, for the sake of the rice family, we will never allow us to fall behind." Dr. Tyrant also said loudly.

The others also looked excited, as if they saw countless small money rushing towards them, this pleasure has not been enjoyed by NASA since the old furry bear fell, and the situation is becoming more and more embarrassing, and the funding is decreasing year by year.

Even the launch of the space rocket was packaged to Elon?? Musk, NASA, who was powerful and could land on the moon back then, actually forced this bird-like.

The birds are good and the bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked, and the ancients do not deceive me.

Now it's rare to have a target, there must be a big blow, let the council lords give money, as for whether you can fool the money, it depends on how well their story is told.

Although they were ready to talk about the mass projector of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it seemed that if the rice grain family did not keep up, it would be surpassed.

To a certain extent, their report to the parliament said that the situation is not far from ten, although NASA's original intention was to fool the money, but Galaxy Technology really did it.
