Chapter Seventy-Four: Four Differences

Add a microwave ray device to the satellites of the Skyfire system.

Although this opinion was just put forward by Lu Chuan.

In fact, long before the deployment of the Tianhuo system, Lu Chuan had already left a back road.

When designing this set of satellites, Lu Chuan suggested that the satellites should be designed to be modular so that they could be modified in the later stage.

So now all the satellites of the Tianhuo system have reserved a module interface.

The difficulty to overcome was to develop the microwave ray device and send it to the location where the satellite was located.

But the problem is that the vast majority of countries in the world have problems with their own satellites in the sky, and there are only two ways to solve them.

One is to scrap satellites because they don't have the ability to repair them.

Second, if it is because this satellite is very valuable and must be repaired, then you can only ask for help from the Eagle Sauce Country or the Great Xia Kingdom.

Eagle sauce has its own space shuttle, which can fly directly around the satellites that need to be repaired for maintenance, and can even directly load the satellites into the space shuttle and bring them back to the ground for maintenance.

However, the Great Xia Kingdom is slightly more troublesome, because the Great Xia Kingdom only has its own space station and does not have a space shuttle.

When the satellite needs to be repaired, the operation speed of the satellite and the space station can only be controlled, and after the two are close, the personnel in the space station can be sent out of the warehouse for maintenance.

Now for Lu Chuan and the Scientific Research Bureau, it is not a problem to develop a higher-power microwave ray emitter.

Because this matter is not at the same level of difficulty as the Tianhuo system, not to mention that it is no secret that microwave ray technology has only been seen in various countries many years ago, all Lu Chuan has to do is to find a way to amplify its power.

The most difficult problem is that the Skyfire system has been deployed in space, which is hundreds of satellites.

If you want to rely on the space station of the Great Xia Kingdom to install modules one by one, it is not only extremely costly and time-consuming, but also a very dangerous thing for the staff of the space station.

Therefore, Lu Chuan gritted his teeth at this time and made an amazing decision.

He told Li Shengdong and the vast industry to divide the staff of the scientific research bureau into two groups.

One of them is responsible for the development of emitters for microwave rays.

Lu Chuan himself, on the other hand, personally led another group of scientific researchers to develop a small aircraft that could work in space.

The vast industry was very surprised that Lu Chuan made such a decision.

Because he knows in his heart that it may take the entire R&D team years, or even decades, for a new type of aircraft to be successfully developed.

At the beginning, the majority of karma was opposed to this matter.

He wanted Lu Chuan to put all his energy on the emitter of microwave rays.

As long as this kind of device is developed, even if the cost will be a little higher when it is installed, at least it can be confirmed that the Great Xia Kingdom already has countermeasures against the Eagle Sauce Kingdom.

However, Lu Chuan explained: "It is definitely unrealistic to develop the kind of space shuttle of the Eagle Sauce Country in a short period of time, but fortunately, we have our own space station in Daxia, and we can use this to design a working aircraft in the short term." ”

Vehicles in space, if not over long distances, do not need fuel-propelled engines.

The conventional solution is to rely on propellant to fly short distances in gravityless space.

However, the amount of propellant carried is limited, so the time it can work in space is extremely limited.

Therefore, Lu Chuan thought of a way to use the energy contained in the two meteorites found in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom to create a propulsion device that can work in the gravity-free environment of space for a long time.

This device, or so to speak, is then taken by a rocket to the space station and docked with the space station.

The next thing that needs to be done is to deliver the microwave ray emitter to the space station non-stop.

The space station is used as a base from which the craft will carry out missions in space.

After hearing this, the majority of people felt that this matter was extremely implementable, so they agreed to his proposal.

Then, Lu Chuan originally planned to develop a flying machine that could work in space.

But in the process of research and development, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, which made him have a bolder decision.

Lu Chuan's original idea was to develop a flying machine, and then let the rocket send this aircraft into space, similar to the space shuttle in the Eagle Sauce Country.

But he suddenly thought that since the Great Xia State now has its own rocket with a thrust of 3,000 tons, why not directly transform the rocket.

The general purpose of rockets is to transport satellites and various materials into space.

If you don't carry these things, remove all the unnecessary devices on the rocket and convert it into a device that functions like a space station.

In the process of launching in this way, there is no need to separate the first section, the second section like an ordinary rocket...

Instead, the entire rocket is sent directly into space and docked with the space station.

When you need to work, you can get out of the space station and use your own engines and fuel to work.

In order to be able to escape gravity, the engine propulsion of this rocket is extremely powerful.

But in space, without the constraints of gravity, there is no need for such a powerful thrust.

It only needs to carry an extra small engine, and using the powerful fuel developed by Lu Chuan before, it can work for a long time in space.

So Lu Chuandang cooperated with the Space Center to carry out a "weight loss" plan for a rocket with a thrust of 3,000 tons.

In a very short time, the scientists removed all unnecessary configurations and accessories from the rocket.

In less than a month, a new type of rocket was born.

However, although the new rocket has been reduced in weight, it is larger than the original.

Although there are no extra accessories inside, more fuel is added for future work in space.

So the whole rocket looks like a fat man, one could even say like a barn.

Although the launch mission of the rocket this time was kept secret, the Eagle Sauce Kingdom still discovered that there was such a "four dissimilarities" standing in the launch center of the Great Xia Kingdom through its own spy satellite.

After the defense department of the Eagle Sauce Country got the news, they also fell into deep thought when they looked at this picture of the four dissimilarities.

Some people say that this will be a new missile developed by the Great Xia Kingdom, or some kind of long-range weapon system.

Because in their consciousness, this kind of volume and appearance cannot be a rocket, and it is even less likely to be sent into space.
