Chapter 156: Helpless

It's just that now, with the rise of China, other countries are also beginning to study the real space shuttle, especially the United States, which has a strong foundation. In particular, the recent purchase of a K01 engine with 15 air media from a master company has made the United States feel that it should be able to produce a real space shuttle.

It is said that when the engine of the master company was purchased, there was a conflict between the two sides - the engine sold was obviously different from the original sample - the lubricating oil cooling system was added, which increased the weight group of the engine by thousands of pounds. However, the master company explained very well, the temperature of the K01 engine is as high as 1200 degrees or more, and even the core temperature is working at a high temperature of 2000 degrees.

It's just that the experts from the American side are not easy to fool, and even suspect that the master company should use a special water lubrication technology on the prototype; In recent years, water lubrication technology has been greatly developed in the field of high temperatures. It's just that other additives need to be added.

It's just that in the face of the strength of the master company, the United States has to give in - on-site inspection, the engine function has not changed, and the continuous work for 8 hours is stable. Of course, the test engine consumes 2.4 million kWh in 8 hours, and the price is nearly 5 million yuan, which is also paid by the United States.

However, the next situation really made the United States angry, and the engine sold by the master company really had a problem, even if it was the top aerospace grade lubricating oil in the United States, it could only be replaced for 15 hours under good conditions, otherwise the lubricating oil deteriorated, which would bring unimaginable danger to the engine. However, the space shuttle of the master company has been flying in space for 24 hours, of which the engine is not working for less than 5 hours; The rest of the time it was almost 20 hours, and the engine was in perfect working condition - not good, it was perfect!

In order to win the trust of the people, and for the future development of aviation for the public, the master company reported the status of the Space Shuttle in real time; After the plane landed, there was no measure to test the lubrication system at all-isn't it clear that the company could only work at high intensity for 15 hours in a row; And in terms of their own engine lubrication, they didn't check it at all!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, especially since I had just been reprimanded by the president for the space shuttle project, and Dr. John was so angry that he couldn't sleep. With the rise of China, especially the strong assault of the master company, the president's anger is getting bigger and bigger! In the middle of the night, I turned on the communicator and found Sui Liangyu, who was in charge of contacting me, and now the sales director of the master company, expressed his dissatisfaction in stumbling Chinese.

It is said that now the master company has just gone to work, Sui Liangyu is in a good mood, to be precise, with the rise of the master company, all the employees of the master company are in a good mood, and that pride cannot be concealed.

I just put down the work in my hand, recalling my situation in the master company in the past few years, I want to revel in the communicator ringing, and when I saw that it was the phone of John, an American engineer, I was in a bad mood in an instant, this guy is picking and choosing all the problems. Of course, as a sales manager, it is still important to remember that the customer is God; Although it is said that the current master company has the momentum to become God's leader!

"Hello Mr. John, good evening, it's the middle of the night at your place, is there any problem?"

"Yes! Of course! John's somewhat annoyed voice came, and when he heard Sui Liangyu's relaxed and happy voice, he couldn't suppress the anger that he had received from the leader during the day at this time, "I remember you said that the engine used by the master company itself is exactly the same as that sold to the outside world, right?" ”

"That's right!" Sui Liangyu replied as a matter of course, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that he was exposed somewhere?

"Humph! But why do we have to change the oil in our engines in 15 hours, and your plane flies in space for 24 hours and still doesn't check and change the oil after landing! Dr. John shouted out the words almost with a roar.

"Ah...... Don't you say I forgot. Thank you for the reminder, the master company in the field of aviation time is a little disrespectful, and even forgot such an important thing! Thank you, thank you, I will inform the company management right away, and I will also convey your help! Thanks again! ”

"Toot ......" Listening to the busy sound coming from the microphone, Dr. John only felt a rush of unloading to his head! It's so shameless! People can be shameless, but they can't be shameless like you!

And after Sui Liangyu hung up the phone, he also reflected this matter to the company's 16 directors, everyone doesn't care what they have, but at least do it!

It's late! After hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan said regretfully: The plane that provides space express services for the country has taken off, and all three planes have gone. Among them, Feixiang will send 50 talents to space for the country; The two Dreams were mainly responsible for carrying supplies. But then Zhang Jingyuan said, it doesn't matter, what can they do except be angry!

Next, Zhang Jingyuan continued to devote himself to new technology research and development and capacity expansion.

And the American engineer John, the next day, with blood-red eyes, started a new day's work. In the process of developing the space shuttle, the United States encountered great difficulties beyond imagination. The first is the threshold of energy storage batteries. Just like Huaxia at the beginning, without the support of cheating methods like Zhang Jingyuan, the magnetic field energy storage battery in the United States now weighs 6 tons, and the energy storage is about 350,000 kWh, which is more advanced than the original Huaxia research and development. It's just that such energy storage means can't meet the needs of today's aerospace development.

In order to maximize the use of the engines of the master company, a space shuttle needs two engines, and at full power, it needs to consume 1.2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. The rocket's ultimate speed allows it to enter low-earth orbit in half an hour, while the space shuttle is slightly longer for safety; In addition, the aircraft not only needs to consume electrical energy after the engine, but also computers, radars, lighting, thermal insulation, etc., all need to consume electric energy, maybe each of them does not consume much, but the total power consumption has reached thousands of degrees per hour. And as long as the plane takes off, the consumption of these electrical energy will not stop. To be conservative, the space shuttle needs at least 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity; Including spare reserves, etc. This requires about 5 batteries, which weigh 30 tons, not counting some items that fix the batteries and so on.

Lin Lin finally calculated that under the existing technology of the United States, if you want to build two space shuttles with K01 engines, your dead weight will have to reach more than 70 tons, and the thrust of the two engines is only 100 tons! This is simply an alternative table that outweighs the losses!

It's just that the future development must be in their own hands, so the president of the United States still has to sign the letter of consent; It's just that I haven't seen a decent finished product so far, and the president is full of them, so John is reprimanded.
