The overall image of this spacecraft is very different from existing flying machines, and if there is an accurate description, it is a bit like a "fish".

At the very front of the ship is the main control center, followed by the crew compartment, then the working compartment, followed by the cargo compartment, and finally the fusion engine compartment.

Its most important propulsion has three details.

First of all, there are three main engine nozzles in the tail, one main nozzle and two auxiliary nozzles, which are used to adjust the power and meet the propulsion requirements of different speeds.

Secondly, its "belly" landing area and "back" have a total of eight auxiliary engine vents, which are mainly used for attitude adjustment during take-off and landing.

Finally, its take-off and landing phases are not propulsed by engines, but by an "anti-gravity field", which keeps the entire spacecraft in a relatively "weightless" state, and then completes take-off and landing through attitude engines.

……

With Ye Ming's explanation, there was silence in the conference room.

Even Professor Huo Liang, who had already known that Ye Ming had "done" the gravity field and anti-gravity field yesterday, was shocked and shocked.

"According to the specifications of the helium-3 verification reactor that we have now completed, the vertical take-off thrust of the engine will reach 3,000 tons, and the vertical take-off load will exceed 2,000 tons,"

"And the load for a flat take-off, because the energy needs of the anti-gravity device are taken into account, so 1,000 tons is no problem - of course, this is calculated according to the standard gravity of the earth, and if it is a lunar take-off, you don't need to take these into account. Anyway, it's no problem to pull up 2,000 tons or even more. ”

"As for the internal structure of the spacecraft, with enough margin, we can design the ship's own weight within 500 tons."

Ye Ming said and looked at everyone, he didn't care if it would make people's blood pressure rise, and said directly: "So I designed the internal fly-by-wire and electronic control system very roughly. ”

With his voice, Yin Ta also thoughtfully transformed the display page into the internal structure.

"Of course, these designs ...... I made a lot of references. Well...... It was Yin Ta who made a lot of references. ”

Ye Ming laughed hesitantly: "Stealing designs all over the world, it feels okay." ”

Listening to his words, several experts at the aviation port came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"You...... Is this a complete design of a spacecraft from start to finish? ”

"Reusable, payload 2000 tons?"

"Can you take off on flat ground?"

"Slow down with an anti-gravity force field after returning?"

In the trembling, one question after another was thrown.

Eventually, Director Zhang stood up.

"Isn't it possible to build it just by following this design?"

Ye Ming exhaled slowly.

After a few seconds of silence, he smiled and nodded.

After a full simulation of the super simulation, he didn't believe anything could go wrong.

September 29th.

Houston, Texas.

Musk rushed to the aerotropolis from the headquarters early in the morning.

The reason why the "Global Conference on Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology Sharing" will be held here is that he did spend a lot of energy lobbying.

The reason is simple: he has always believed that controlled nuclear fusion and interstellar travel are one and the same – it is possible to spray "fusion waste" directly at the tail of the engine - such as helium plasma streams, such as high-energy neutron streams to complete the propulsion.

As for whether high-energy neutrons cause lethal neutron radiation......

INTERVIEWER What is the impact of building a launch base on an uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, or even building a launch platform directly?

Kill a few fish.

As long as the most difficult take-off stage is completed and the attitude is adjusted, the neutron beam has no effect.

Therefore, the controlled nuclear fusion conference should actually be a space-oriented feast.

"Elon."

"Mongard."

Musk shook hands with Mongaard from Harvard, and the two looked at each other and smiled before walking into the venue together.

Since the last "Global Semiconductor and Quantum Computing Conference" was turned into an Internet celebrity check-in "exhibition" in Silicon Valley, the white house has learned to be obedient and changed his thinking.

This time, although the tone of the controlled nuclear fusion technology conference is very high, it is still an invitation-only system - follow the other side.

Of course, the person you invite can't be exactly the same as the person on the other side.

For example, some countries that want strength but no strength, want money but have no money, and are poor and white.

And this time, the energy department did not arrange a "meaningless" visit - before the results of the Kuafu group came out, there were already several fusion teams here that had achieved good results at the same time.

At present, MIT has completed a stable reactor with a tritium breeding recovery rate of 96%.

This kind of achievement, there is no need to do any visits.

……

After the opening of the moderator, Professor Dennis walked to the podium amid applause.

"As you can see, this is a number of controllable fusion reactors that we have designed over the last 15 years."

On the screen, one after another of the design drawings of the historical reactor began to appear, as well as the papers sent by these design drawings.

"Last year, we were the first to complete a fusion reaction that lasted 15 minutes." Professor Dennis looked at the audience, his brow furrowed slightly when he saw Horryon's old friend.

After a few seconds of silence, he still decided to avoid the topic of Ye Ming's limit.

In fact, the entire academic community is now avoiding talking about ye in public.

It's not that they don't respect the facts, but ......

"After nearly a year of hard work, we have made a breakthrough in the restraint material and solved a series of problems, especially in the cooperation with Harvard and Princeton, we have made great progress in the tritium proliferation program, which has now reached 96%."

"Don't underestimate this progress, it means it's a big step towards truly self-sustaining operation, and it also means that we can reduce our dependence on tritium in the next energy explosion."

"Here's how we designed the reactor."

As Professor Dennis flipped the PPT, the fusion design appeared in front of everyone.

……

Schumak sat in the fourth row of the audience.

Sitting next to him was Tsuyoshi Sakamoto, a scholar of the Neon Kingdom he had met last time in Jiangcheng - this time, this old brother was not wearing glasses.

Because they are "acquaintances", the two naturally sat down together after they met.

Looking at the design drawings displayed by Professor Dennis on the stage, he and Sakamoto just glanced at each other, and both of them smiled slightly.

Under the mature theory, these designs are actually much the same.

What really attracted them was the value-added recovery rate of more than 96% of tritium, as well as the design of improving the Q value and the breakthrough in the field of "materials".

As we all know, Ye dysprosium has been listed as a controlled product in the mainland, and the prices of dysprosium oxide and dysprosium-containing rare earths have increased several times in a year.

On stage, Professor Dennis's presentation continued.

"As you can see, with the clever layout of the dysprosium carbon oxide electrode, we have completed the reduction of the confined energy."

Saying that, Professor Dennis paused, and then smiled: "By the way, we have broken the monopoly of a certain country in the preparation of dysprosium carbon oxide crystals. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, followed by applause.

There are too many countries, and last time I had to go to Jiangcheng, wasn't it because the opposite side was stuck in the field of materials?

"The next step is to build a truly commercially ready controlled fusion reactor power plant."

"At the same time, we will also accept orders."

Professor Dennis shrugged his shoulders and said humorously, "I'm old, but I still want to see the day when the energy crisis is truly resolved." ”

The audience applauded thunderously.
