February 9th.

Li Qingye made a rare appearance on the public channel of Homo sapiens.

He appeared at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Port Ramon Sky City in Mindan, and delivered a speech entitled "On Earth, Into Deep Space" via televised broadcast.

Port Ramon is located on the eastern coast of Medan, facing the vast Pacific Ocean, at a latitude of about 8.5 degrees north latitude, very close to the zero line of the equator, making it a very suitable area as a space launch site.

And because Medan is located near the equatorial windless zone, the typhoon weather that often occurs in Southeast Asia rarely makes landfall in Medan, which is conducive to space launches.

After appearing on TV, Li Qingye did not leave immediately, although his position is top secret, he doesn't need to worry too much at this stage.

After all, the major powers understood that once they attacked Li Qingye, the consequences would be the same death.

According to the Homo Sapiens Quarterly Defense Report, Homo sapiens is currently equipped with a total of 725 thermonuclear warheads, as well as 224 atomic bombs from previous inventories.

And this data, when Homo sapiens first officially appeared, was only 206 thermonuclear warheads and 224 atomic bombs.

Homo sapiens is frantically expanding its nuclear arsenal at a rate of 200 thermonuclear warheads per quarter.

In the face of the madness of Homo sapiens, America has recently restarted some of its heavy water refineries and is also preparing to expand its nuclear arsenal.

Some of the old people who lived through the last century once again recall those days of fear.

Therefore, Li Qingye's security is relatively high now, as long as there is no determination to die together, the great powers will never dare to use drastic means against him.

Of course, it is actually difficult for the outside world to lock the location of the elusive Li Qingye.

After all, Homo sapiens has a dense subway network and various dungeons, and it is very difficult to lock down the position of Homo sapiens' management.

……

The city of Cosmopolitan is located 8.6 km south of Port Ramon.

After the employees of Manila Television and Homo sapiens finished the recording, they were assigned to cover other parts of the base.

Li Qingye, accompanied by Jose Garcia, the head of the space city, and Antonio, the chief engineer, visited the final assembly workshop of the space city in Port Ramon.

Antonio explained to him: "Mr. Chairman, since the passivation technology of metal hydrogen emitting charge has not been practical, we have temporarily adopted a methane liquid oxygen engine. ”

"I've read your reports before, have you found the cause of those launch failures?"

Antonio nodded: "It has been investigated, mainly because the layout of several sensors is unreasonable, which led to the error in the judgment of the computer system of the launch vehicle, and now it has been adjusted." ”

Li Qingye turned his head: "Jose, you go and get busy with the noon launch mission, just have Dr. Antonio here." ”

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

José left the expedition team to get busy with the launch mission at noon today.

Under the leadership of Antonio, Li Qingye entered the final assembly workshop.

A large launch vehicle with a height of 113 meters is lying on its side in the workshop, and hundreds of technicians are busy with their concentration.

Of course, this is not the launch vehicle that will be launched today.

If it was a launch vehicle to be launched, Antonio and Jose would not bring Li Qingye over to visit.

Obviously, the explosive power of methane liquid oxygen is not as powerful as metallic hydrogen, but once an explosion occurs, the power is also extraordinary.

The launch vehicle to be launched, already filled with methane and liquid oxygen, carries a certain risk.

Although this risk is very small, Jose and Antonio did not take it lightly, after all, Lao Maozi had an accident with a launch vehicle explosion, which blew several high-level officials at the scene to pieces.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Li Qingye's safety is related to the stability of Homo sapiens, and it cannot be taken too seriously.

……

Antonio explained to him in a whisper: "In the first six test launches, we have determined all the data of the ape-eating eagle. ”

The large launch vehicle in front of me has a special name within the Homo sapiens company, "Ape-eating Eagle Class Launch Vehicle".

This way of naming is to distinguish the launch vehicles of other forces.

Generally speaking, America and the European Union are mainly mythological terms, while Lucia is mainly scientific terms.

Homo sapiens, on the other hand, focuses on representative birds from each region.

For example, the ape-eating eagle in Luzon, the fire-backed pheasant in Siam, the green peafowl in Honsavady, the Malayan hornbill in Malaysia, the magpie robin in Dongba, the nine-colored bird in Nepal, and the black-tailed pheasant in Ceylon.

As a large launch vehicle, it was named the "Ape Eater Eagle Class".

Li Qingye asked, "How many payloads can be achieved by near-earth, synchronous and moon?" ”

"It is 150 tons for near-Earth, 100 tons for synchronization, and 63 tons for the Moon."

"Not bad! It's almost the same as SpaceX's Space Launch System launch vehicle. ”

Antonio smiled and shrugged, "Part of our technology is borrowed from SpaceX. ”

Antonio is not ashamed of this, the patents in the aerospace field are useless, and the major forces are also covering their own aerospace technology, and they will not allow other forces to meddle in it at all.

After deciding to develop aerospace technology, Li Qingye asked Chen Jianxiong to set up a technology collection office in the Field Service Department, which was specifically responsible for "borrowing" the aerospace technology of other forces.

Anyway, the world's major aerospace bases and aerospace companies have all been touched bald by the Department of Field Affairs.

On heavy launch vehicles and super-heavy launch vehicles, there are not many targets that can be used for reference.

For example, Antonio is a former Lucia Space Group launch vehicle designer, and his teacher also participated in the design of the Proton launch vehicle.

For Lucia's space technology, it can only be described as "science and technology rely on archaeology".

In addition to this, it is the technology that America has for heavy and super-heavy launch vehicles.

For example, the Saturn V was developed in the sixties of the last century, and the Falcon Heavy and Space Launch Systems developed by SpaceX in recent years.

When it comes to space launch systems, many people may feel very unfamiliar.

But the project that uses the Space Launch System launch vehicle, many people are probably very familiar with it, that is, NASA's ace pigeon project - Artemis project.

The launch vehicle used in the Artemis project is the space launch system "developed" by SpaceX.

This launch vehicle is actually cobbled together from waste use, and its engine is inherited from NASA's space shuttle stock spare engine, and then after technical integration, the space launch system super-heavy launch vehicle is "developed".

NASA also has no choice, fortunately, America's aerospace technology has a strong foundation, otherwise the technology would have been cut off long ago.

Some time ago, Artemis 1 was finally successfully launched in the midst of grinding.

Although Li Qingye ridiculed the Artemis project as a refurbished machine, he still recognized its technology.

The initial model of the Space Launch System was for the Constellation manned project, so its near-Earth payload was about 70 tons, and it had a thrust of 3,810 tons at launch.

The second phase of the cargo model, which is currently being integrated by SpaceX, is designed to have a near-Earth payload of about 130 tons, a launch thrust of about 4,173 tons, and a height and total weight of 117 meters and 2,948 tons, respectively.

In the later stage, there are plans to develop a model with a near-ground payload of 165 tons.

So Homo sapiens will borrow from the Space Launch System launch vehicle technology, and then add Homo sapiens own technology.
