Chapter 166, Dumbo (60 monthly ticket plus update last month)
Cai Jian is fully responsible for the transfer of the company's assets and personnel, after all, he is more experienced in society, experienced, and does things without leakage, which is naturally more suitable than other young people in Qingquan Technology.
Regardless of these worries, Liu Qingquan has always devoted himself to busy scientific research, the future of mankind still depends on science and technology, and it must enter the big family of the universe, so now the focus of Qingquan science and technology research and development is on various technologies in space.
Now relying on recyclable rockets, the cost of Qingquan science and technology to and from space is much lower than that of other countries in the world, only a fuel cost and some other small expenses, the advantages of developing space technology are very obvious, and the largest space station in space has been established in less than a year.
Qingquan Space Station is currently the largest space station in space, and there are dozens of scientific researchers living and working in it for a long time, which is a bit of a space village!
However, with the continuous deepening of space exploration by Qingquan Technology, traveling to and from space is more frequent, and astronauts living in space for a long time are a long-term test for their body and mind, and returning to Earth is arranged in advance, not if you want to go back.
Therefore, Qingquan people, who have always pursued more excellence, naturally want to find a way to develop a more convenient, fast and convenient spacecraft to travel between space and the ground.
So the space shuttle came into everyone's field of vision!
The Space Shuttle was first developed by the United States, and it is a space system that transports people and payloads between the ground and low-earth orbit, and has the functions of both manned spacecraft and launch vehicle, and lands as an airplane.
So far, only the United States and the former Soviet Union have ever built a space shuttle that could go into low-earth orbit, and have actually successfully launched and recovered it, and the United States is the only country that has successfully carried out a manned mission with a space shuttle.
Even in the last century, the U.S. budget for the Space Shuttle program was $43 billion, and the cost of each launch was estimated to be $54 million, but because the space shuttle system was too complex (more than 2.5 million parts of the fuselage), and the technical and system maintenance required a lot of manpower and material resources, this plan was far beyond the budget.
Statistics as of 2011 show that the space shuttle program cost a total of $196 billion, of which each shuttle cost about $12 billion, a single launch cost about $450 million (nearly ten times more than the budget), and a single-use spacecraft cost only $200 million to $300 million.
On January 28, 1986, the "Challenger" exploded 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts, after which NASA suspended the space shuttle launch mission; On 1 February 2003, Columbia disintegrated in mid-air during its return to the ground, killing all seven astronauts.
Therefore, the space shuttle gradually withdrew from everyone's field of vision, which is expensive and the safety factor is not high, which is very fatal for space flight!
The cost is expensive, everyone can still accept this, the hooligans who play aerospace, that are the rich masters, but the safety factor is very important, you must know that a country to carry out a space launch is a matter of national concern, especially the manned space launch, the launch is a huge encouragement for the whole country, and if the launch fails, then it is a huge blow to the whole country.
Even for a space power like the United States, the crashes of the two space shuttles plunged the whole country into deep sorrow, and then they simply abandoned the space shuttles, and all the space shuttles were retired, and no new space shuttles were being built.
But now, the scientists of Qingquan Technology have taken out the space shuttle again, on the one hand, thanks to the strong technical accumulation of Qingquan Technology, especially the most critical anti-gravity technology and plasma technology!
With these two technologies, Qingquan Technology can make the space shuttle more practical and safe
Southeast Africa, Qingquan Science and Technology Future Base, Scientific Research Zone!
A small plane only 5 meters long, 3 meters high, and 2 meters wide stands quietly on the flat ground paved with steel plates.
That's right! You read that right, this is a small space shuttle developed by a group of brain-opening people at Qingquan Technology, which is specially designed for individuals to travel to and from the space station.
Using the increasingly mature anti-gravity technology and plasma technology, using the increasingly mature magnetic field battery, it can carry 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity at one time, which is enough for it to travel back and forth to space and the ground many times, which is a small space shuttle specially for scientific researchers or astronauts to travel to and from space! It was named "Dumbo 1st Generation" by the people of Qingquan Technology!
The real big guy is named "Big Dumb Elephant", at this time on the other side, research and production is underway, the "Big Dumb Elephant" and "Dumbo" design principle and power are the same, the shape is exactly the same, but the "Big Dumb Elephant" is the "Dumbo" enlarged version of N times.
Zhang Feiai, who was wearing a soft spacesuit, walked towards the "Dumbo" very confidently, this time the first flight task was completed by Zhang Feiai, at this time Zhang Feiai has also cultivated to the realm of Yuanli Warrior, plus he is one of the heroes of Qingquan Technology's first space flight, so it is perfect for him to make the first flight!
This time, he not only has to carry out the first flight test, but also fly to the Qingquan space station in space to replace Zhong Nanji, which has been in service there for a long time, if the test is qualified, then the astronauts and scientists of the Qingquan Science and Technology space station can be replaced frequently, and they can even travel back and forth between space and the ground every day.
Working in space, living on the ground, such a scene is no longer a dream! Qingquan Technology is to pursue dreams!
"Take off!"
Zhang Feiai, who received the order, skillfully operated the "Dumbo", only to see the space shuttle slowly begin to take off, and there was no trace of residual heat wave from the tail flame behind, which shows that today's plasma technology has been played by the scientists of Qingquan Technology!
Relying on the perfect combination of plasma technology and anti-gravity technology, the speed of "Dumbo" is very fast, far exceeding the speed of Mach 30 of ordinary anti-gravity cars, and it has flown out of the earth's atmosphere into space in less than a minute, and this is Zhang Feiai's very coquettish waste of time to conduct various tests in the sky, otherwise it only takes dozens of seconds to fly out of the earth's atmosphere.
The "Dumbo" in space is much more disciplined, relying on satellites all over the space, quickly determined the distance from the Qingquan space station, and did not rely on the earth's gravity to change orbit to approach the space station like those spacecraft in the past.
"Dumbo" directly adjusted the direction and flew over, which is not only a waste of fuel, but also involves a lot of space technology, such as space precise positioning technology, space navigation technology, space flight technology and so on.
Looking at the Qingquan Space Station from a distance, it is not particularly large, but as you get closer and closer, you will find that the Qingquan Space Station has changed drastically from the beginning.
At the beginning, it was just a dozen or so space capsules connected together, and the volume was very small, and everyone lived in a long tube, which was very oppressive and cramped.
If astronauts live in such an environment for a long time, it will be a kind of torment and test for their body and mind, and there have been cases of astronauts on the International Space Station who have had violent conflicts with each other and went on strike.
It is not that the quality of these astronauts is not good, on the contrary, astronauts are high-quality talents, but because they live in such a small, closed and lonely environment for a long time, people's hearts will undergo drastic changes, emotions are very easy to excite, and it is easy to vent this emotion to the colleagues around them.
Therefore, how to get rid of negative emotions in space and learn self-psychological healing are one of the important skills that astronauts must learn!
Now Qingquan Technology because of advanced technology, coupled with the wealth, the company is willing to invest, through a large number of launch materials, the space station has been expanded and extended, not a small space module, but a bit similar to the upper and lower more than a dozen high-rise structure.
Some parts of the high-rise buildings are still facing each other, but the astronauts do not live in the space capsule, but in the larger main building.
As it slowly approached, Zhang Feiai even saw Li Jun reading a book in the plant planting room through the glass of the main building, and studies have shown that planting a large number of plants in space can greatly alleviate the negative emotions in the hearts of astronauts, and many astronauts like to stay in the plant planting room, read books, sleep or something!
Zhang Feiai slowly approached the space station, parked the space shuttle at the predetermined position, and after opening the hatch, Zhong Nanji, who had been waiting for him to return to the ground in a hurry, had already put on his spacesuit.
"It's fast!" Zhong Nanji gently slapped Zhang Feiai.
"I know you're in no hurry, so I'll come over early, have a nice trip!" Zhang Feiai smiled and fisted Zhong Nanji, Zhong Nanji didn't talk nonsense, and directly entered the "Dumbo" space shuttle through the hatch, and the two sides sealed the hatch very tacitly.
Zhang Feiai looked at the space shuttle that slowly broke away from the space station and flew to the earth, waved his hand and turned his head, floating towards the main building, and space life began again!
On the other hand, Zhong Nanji drove the space shuttle into the atmosphere at a rapid diagonal speed, and for the sake of safety, he first flew around the earth at high altitude for the first time, slowly reducing the altitude and speed, and then flew to the future base under the guidance of global positioning navigation.
"Oh yes!" As Zhong Nanji gently parked the "Dumbo" vertically to the predetermined position, the group of young people who participated in the design of the space shuttle cheered one after another!
