On the high-speed train, Fan Xiaoming put away his mobile phone and said to Su Zhe who was sitting next to him with a smile: "Now the Internet at home and abroad is talking about the moon landing, plus the admissions staff sent by our school to all high schools in China, I think there is no hope for other colleges and universities for undergraduate enrollment this year." ”

Su Zhe nodded, put down his mobile phone and said: "Listening to the feedback from those admissions officers, this year's students know our school very well, and they all want to come to our school. ”

"I estimate that next year, our school's admissions rules will have to change, otherwise other colleges and universities will not be able to survive." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded, "In order to make other colleges and universities completely desperate, we strive to complete the test flight of the spacecraft before the first batch of volunteers." ”

"Nope! No! Fan Xiaoming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We must ensure that the first test flight can be successful, that is, the first day of the college entrance examination." ”

"Yes! I want to surprise the students who took the college entrance examination. Su Zhe smiled and nodded.

The high-speed rail came to the high-speed rail station in Tamu Town, and Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and the scientific researchers got off the train and transferred to the subway.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Zhe and his entourage came to the Tamu Gobi Aerospace Zone.

After putting their luggage at their accommodation, the group went directly to the manufacturing plant of the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine.

Standing in the manufacturing plant to greet Su Zhe and his entourage were President Xu Zhengping, Dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Dai Ping'an and some others.

Accompanied by these people, Su Zhe and his entourage began to visit the manufacturing plant of the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine.

After a circle, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were extremely satisfied.

It is no exaggeration to say that the manufacturing plant built by the school in strict accordance with the design of the Nine Days Research Center can be put into production at any time.

At the end of the tour, the time came to six o'clock.

After dinner, Fan Xiaoming gathered the relevant personnel of the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine manufacturing plant into a large classroom.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming took turns to explain to these people the composition, production and manufacturing process of several simplified heavy photon aerospace engines to be produced.

The entire simplified heavy photon aerospace engine manufacturing plant covers an area of 50,000 square meters, but all the production personnel add up to more than 200 people.

The reason why this is the only one is because the manufacturing plant is highly automated.

The lecture lasted from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., a full three hours.

After the end, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming went to the cafeteria with President Xu Zhengping and Dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Dai Ping'an.

The four of them chatted together over a late-night snack.

When talking about this year's undergraduate enrollment, President Xu Zhengping said very excitedly: "This year's undergraduate enrollment does not have to worry, from the feedback of the admissions staff, the vast majority of top students are willing to choose our school, no way, the moon landing is too tempting." ”

"In terms of the conditions of our school, other colleges and universities can't compare." Dai Ping'an affirmed, "As long as students and parents know about our school, they will basically choose our school, of course, I mean those science students." ”

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded and smiled.

Chatting and chatting, the four of them talked about the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine and spacecraft.

Dai Ping'an put down the fast son in his hand, patted his chest and said: "According to the requirements of your research center, the spacecraft used for test flight, that is, six space shuttles of three different models, except for the engine, all other parts are ready, and most of them have been assembled, just waiting for the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine." ”

"That's right! Academician Zhao Guoan of Northwest Dianzi University and the relevant departments of the SS-Defense System have already given a reply, agreeing that we will use their device to verify and test the space shuttle. Xu Zhengping said with a smile.

"In just two or three days, we will be able to build a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine needed for the Space Shuttle test aircraft and spacesuits." Su Zhe said with certainty.

Fan Xiaoming added: "It will take a few more days to complete the assembly of the six space shuttles, and then we can test flights, which we plan to take on June 7, which is the first day of the college entrance examination." ”

"Good! If the test flight is successful that day, then our school will be a complete victory, and at that time, people all over the world will know that our Lingzhou University of Technology can achieve small goals. Xu Zhengping said with a smile.

Dai Ping'an nodded, and said with a smile: "Landing on the moon and building a permanent base on the moon is our small goal, and developing the moon is what we should do. ”

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded.

Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "There is a plan to develop the moon, but the premise is that we can successfully achieve the small goal this time." ”

Su Zhe added: "Furthermore, this plan to develop the moon must be reviewed by the relevant departments, and only after the relevant departments agree can we develop the moon according to this plan." ”

"Indeed!" Xu Zhengping nodded, "However, developing the moon and building cities on the moon is not something we can accomplish, and we need the participation of the whole people." ”

"It's not just about the moon, it's about Mars, it's about the entire solar system." Dai Ping'an sighed, "We have to solve some key issues, such as communications, energy, transportation, as for those core projects, can be completed by other institutions or enterprises, it is best to participate in the full name." ”

……

In the next few days, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming took scientific researchers and production personnel to produce a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine during the day, and went to the space shuttle assembly factory to participate in the assembly of the space shuttle at night.

During this period, Zuo Dajun led the scientific research team to transport a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine used in the spacesuit.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on June 6, six different space shuttles lined up one after another in the manufacturing plant.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming are leading a scientific research team to conduct simulation tests on the six space shuttles.

Six shuttles, three different models, two each.

The three different types of space shuttles are codenamed Blue Finch, White Goose, and Black Wither.

The Space Shuttle Blue Sparrow is 40 meters long, with a wingspan of 30 meters, a cabin 7 meters wide and 5 meters high, and a payload of 200 tons.

The main purpose is to carry people, which can carry two thousand people.

The White Goose space shuttle is 45 meters long, with a wingspan of 40 meters, a cabin 10 meters wide and 8 meters high, and a payload of 350 tons.

It is a manned and cargo space shuttle.

The space shuttle Black Wither is 80 meters long, with a wingspan of 60 meters, a cabin 20 meters wide and 15 meters high, and a payload of 1,000 tons.

The main purpose is to carry cargo.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming stood in front of the Black Wither Space Shuttle with their laptops for testing, and looked at the data of the simulation test seriously.

The other five shuttles have completed their simulations and are being pulled away from the factory by tractors to the test airfield a kilometer away.

"Perfect! The light receiver covering the surface of the shuttle's body is normal, as is the battery system. Fan Xiaoming looked at the test data on the laptop and said with a smile, "Su Zhe! What about the powertrain and control system over there? ”

Su Zhe smiled and said, "There is no problem at all. ”

Fan Xiaoming looked at the Black Wither Space Shuttle in front of him and sighed: "It's so dreamy, we can't believe that we have created such a big guy in such a short period of time." ”

"Indeed!" Su Zhe smiled, "If you use the Black Wither Space Shuttle to transport people, it can carry thousands of people at a time, and if it weren't for the space problem, it would be easy to carry 10,000 people." ”

"Don't! It's still a little less to carry some people at a time, and if there is an accident, we can't afford it. Fan Xiaoming said seriously.

According to the plan, the Blue Sparrow space shuttle is the largest manned space shuttle, and in addition to the Blue Sparrow, there are many different types of space shuttles under development.

However, the number of people carried by these shuttles ranges from a few dozen to a thousand, and they are all small and medium-sized manned space shuttles.

"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded.

"Hey! To be honest, these space shuttles built now are not perfect enough, and they must fly into space with the help of beam channels," Fan Xiaoming smiled bitterly, "If it is equipped with a serious heavy photon aerospace engine, or if there is a battery that is more powerful than the current super battery, then the space shuttle built will not need to be charged with the help of beam channel, and it can fly directly from the ground into space." ”

"I want to!" Su Zhe smiled, "It's a pity that it's almost impossible to make a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine and a more powerful battery in a short period of time." ”

"Take your time!" Fan Xiaoming asked with a smile, "That's right!" Have you read the plan from the geosynchronous orbit to the moon jointly submitted by the research team of the research center and the school, and what are your opinions? ”

"I've seen it!" Su Zhe nodded and said, "Generally speaking, it is possible, but some details need to be optimized, such as the spacecraft between the two places, the passenger capacity should not exceed 10,000 people." ”

"That's right! That's what I thought, too. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "I don't know what the scientific research team and those people in the school think, is it necessary to build a spacecraft with a passenger capacity of 100,000 people?" ”

"100,000 people! Just build a space city. Su Zhe asked with a smile, "That's right!" I heard that the School of Architecture is working with other schools to build a space city in space that can accommodate a million people, is it true? ”

"It does." Fan Xiaoming said, "The School of Architecture has been active for a period of time, and the plan to develop the moon has the contribution of the School of Architecture, and they are not only promoting the construction of a million-level space city, such as the development of Mars, etc., all have the shadow of the School of Architecture." ”

"Not to mention, we haven't landed on the moon yet, and these people are about to put together a plan to develop the entire solar system, which is too positive." Su Zhe said with a smile.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Don't forget the virtual solar system created by our research center and the School of Computer Science, the personnel of our research center and the students and teachers of the school participate in it when there is nothing to do. ”

The virtual solar system, in fact, is the same as online games, simulating the development of the solar system.

However, the virtual solar system is not open to the public, and only the teachers and students of the school, as well as the people of the Nine Heavens Research Center, can participate.

"Yes! With the existence of a virtual solar system and the participation of so many people, any plan can be made. Su Zhe smiled.

The virtual solar system is to engage in the beta version of the virtual universe.

From the current point of view, the effect is exceptionally good.

The two chatted, and the Black Wither space shuttle in front of them completed the simulation test.

The tractor drove over slowly.

After a while, the tractor pulled the black withered space shuttle out of the factory slowly.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were about to go out with them when a large group of people came over.

Taking the lead were President Xu Zhengping, Dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Li Congshan, Dean of the School of Computer Science Li Congshan, Bao Qizheng, Zuo Dajun and some other people.

Tomorrow will not simply test the three space shuttles, but also test the spacesuit developed by Zuo Dajun and the remote-controlled imitation robot developed by the School of Computer Science.

During the test flight, the robot will be wearing a spacesuit on a space shuttle.

After the space shuttle entered space, ground personnel remotely controlled the spacesuit-wearing robot to move around the space.

After everyone greeted each other warmly, they chatted about tomorrow's arrangements.

There will be a lot of guests coming tomorrow.

These people include partners of Lingzhou University of Technology, directors of relevant domestic units, and representatives of major universities.

At the same time, tomorrow's test flight process will be broadcast live to the students, teachers, and some important people of Lingzhou University of Technology.

You must know that this test flight is extremely important, which is not only related to whether Lingzhou University of Technology can achieve small goals, but also related to the progress of human beings going out of the earth to develop the solar system.

Everyone left the building and chatted as they walked to the test airport, a kilometer away.

On the way, Fan Xiaoming introduced the relevant parameters to those who did not know much about the three space shuttles.

It highlights how far the three shuttles can fly with the energy they carry alone.

The Space Shuttle Blue Sparrow can fly 10 kilometers with no load and 3 kilometers with full load.

The White Goose shuttle was able to fly eight kilometers with no load and two kilometers with a full load.

The Black Wither space shuttle is capable of flying seven kilometers with no load and one kilometer with a full load.

After Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, someone raised the question of what would happen if the space shuttle was equipped with a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine? What if the space shuttle's super-battery pack was replaced with a nuclear reactor to provide energy?

Fan Xiaoming's answer was very clear.

If it is a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, as long as the existing space shuttle is optimized, it can fly directly from the ground into space.

If a nuclear reactor is used to provide energy, a space shuttle powered by a nuclear reactor can indeed fly directly from the ground into space, regardless of safety concerns.

But this plan is too dangerous, and once the shuttle disintegrates in the air, it will be a huge disaster for mankind.
