Chapter 58: The Chasing Six Courtyards

"If Qian Laodu said so, then I am really happy, of course, the H1 space shuttle is different from the past, the cost of each launch is very low, and the shortest time is a week, usually once every half a month, according to a calculation of 6 people, this year to send 50 people up is no problem.

It's a pity that Xinyuan has only one professional astronaut, Deng Lei, and the commander still needs excellent professionals; There should even be two professional astronauts, and the commander and deputy commander should have the ability to be familiar with the operation of the space shuttle. ”

"That's a lot!" Captain Li sighed very emotionally that the space agency has only had 5 manned launch missions in the past 10 years, so there are so few astronauts in the team.

There are less than thirty people, and there are very few opportunities to go to heaven, and maybe some people may retire and not be close to space, what a pity!

If there were a space shuttle, everyone would have a chance, and they wouldn't have to pass by again and again, right?

I don't know if it's too much emotion, Captain Li suddenly said:

"To tell you the truth, I also went to the Ulan Hashan base last week, didn't you put a simulation cabin over there for convenience? Not only did I go to see the H1, but I also went to fly it in the field, and to be honest, it was a lot more like being in a spaceship, and I wanted to really feel the sense of mission when I drove it through the atmosphere. ”

Lin Ju's heart moved, and he smelled more than just emotion from this sentence.

"Captain Li Wei, Xinyuan has obtained the qualification to participate in the national aerospace project, if the manned space project is also counted, then Xinyuan also has the ability to confidently send the astronauts of the brigade to space to increase our aerospace experience."

"This ...... It should also be counted. ”

When Lin Ju walked out of the training center, he felt a lot heavier on his shoulders.

During the afternoon training break, he met with most of the members of the astronaut brigade, revealing that Xinyuan has the ability to participate in the manned space project and send a large number of crew members to space in a short time.

At that moment, although the reserve team members did not move, there seemed to be a blazing sun burning in their eyes.

Who wouldn't want to fly 300 kilometers into space? Isn't the decade-long training just for that day?

……

At the end of the space exchange, only a few photos and carefully reviewed text reports flowed out.

The official media also mentioned this kind of informal meeting, but all kinds of entertainment media reposted it wildly.

Why would they want to retweet it? Because there's a hot spot.

From Xinyuan-2 to Xinyuan-4 rockets, the parameters are: 15,000 tons, the world's largest;

The H1 space shuttle, the H2 space shuttle, and the nuclear thermal rocket engine are even more obvious hype hotspots.

Besides, Xinyuan has helped you figure out how to blow it, and it is a super space station, a nuclear-powered spacecraft landing on Mars, and the technology is a hundred times more advanced than Ami, etc., which is enough to write more than a dozen reports.

Since 2010, conspiracy theories, conjectures, and shocking headlines have been popular in communication studies, and soon they appeared:

"Director Lin fights Ma Yilong: landing on Mars within a year"

"Domestic nuclear-powered spacecraft engines: consume less than a spoonful of fuel in one second!"

"Liquid oxygen methane engine will create a new era of human spaceflight"

"The latest news of the H-20 leaked out, it will be an air-space bomber"

"Xinyuan Aerospace alone accounts for 40% of the country's support funds, experts say"

"The world's largest, powerful 380-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engine"

"Luo Yufeng: I'm sorry, Lin Ju, only Xiaohezi can match me"

“……”

Wait, what's the matter with Luo Yufeng?

It turned out that Lin Ju was bored to brush up on the blog, and when she saw that Luo Yufeng was still active, she gave her a thumbs up, but she was rubbed off on the heat.

watched the ordinary and confident Sister Feng talk about herself, "I am very good, but a woman like me is not yours", and after a lot of forbearance, Lin Ju gave up coping.

This makes it clear that the more opportunities are given, the more troublesome it becomes, so let's treat it as if it doesn't exist, at least it's not Mu Zimei.

At the end of the exchange meeting, Xinyuan was finally officially registered in the country.

Not only has it obtained the qualification to enter the national launch mission, but it can also apply for certain technical support as a private enterprise.

Does Xinyuan need technical support? Yes.

The extravehicular spacesuit, which has high requirements for materials and processing technology, has equipment at the B-level base, but since it can only be completed by the end of June, there are simply not enough employees to start the equipment.

According to the plan, the current tractor factory will only retain about 100 people, which will be used as a supporting production base in the future, and the B-level base will be expanded to 2,000 talents.

From recruiting people to getting familiar with the job, it takes time even if you have an upgrade card.

Therefore, the manned project still has to rely on the existing factory, although it can make spacesuits, but it is too laborious, and it is entrusted to the space agency.

Moreover, Huaguo Aerospace has carried out many manned space missions, and there are quite a lot of valuable materials for reference, and the spacesuit of OEM Xinyuan can also help with adjustments.

After all, it is to give away a living life, and it is not ashamed to listen to the opinions of the old astronautics.

Of course, the space agency agreed, and it could also be delivered on time, but the price was very expensive: there were too many new technologies provided by Xinyuan that needed to adjust equipment and raw materials, and the unit price of a piece was 55 million, and the price was not negotiable.

Lin was so stingy that he only bought three pieces, two jobs and one for backup.

When the B-level base has its own production capacity, the cost is only one-third of this at most.

But the space agency is not too small, because they have bought three of their own in the past ten years......

Speaking of aerospace science and technology, we should be very grateful to Lin Ju, because manned spaceflight has always been in the state of "it's a good thing, it's good, but don't hurry and take your time".

Now that Xinyuan Aerospace has jumped out to stir up the situation, the superiors finally feel a little bit of the urgency of the aerospace industry and decided to tilt more resources into the aerospace industry.

On March 14, a YF100K, a 125-ton liquid oxygen kerosene full flow, a wide range of thrust adjustment, and a 30-degree pump swing angle reusable rocket engine was installed on a Y-9 transport aircraft and flew to the rocket factory of the Eighth Academy.

Liuyuan reverse-copied the K120V multiplexed version of the K120 from the K120's technology at the fastest speed, instead of improving it on its own YF100.

Since the reusable engine project was forced to start due to high pressure in November, the Sixth Academy tried its best to gnaw the technical data of the K120, and then after some comparison, it was found that the YF100 was lagging behind in all aspects.

It is unnecessary to take the technical improvement of the K120 YF100, the design of the K120 itself has no shortcomings, small, large thrust, reliable, simple, any modification is redundant.

Therefore, the Sixth Academy decided to make a big turn directly, take the road that Xinyuan has traveled, and study how to change the K120 to reuse, instead of stupidly holding on to YF100 and pondering.

The results were pleasantly surprising, the K120 was perfect for reuse, requiring little to no alteration, and feeling like it was designed for reuse.

It has a very high dry-mass ratio, excellent specific punch, durable design, and a large swing angle.

On the basis of the K120, the repeatable version of the improvement is like a matter of course, and at the end of February, three long test runs were carried out in a row, and the improved version is still as stable as an old dog, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tang Weitian still remembers the fall of the Eighth Courtyard vividly, isn't he trying to urge me? I'll ship the engine right now!

So the number of YF100K was used, but it has nothing to do with YF100, it is completely two technical routes.

The six institutes themselves have figured it out, and the YF100 has no need for improvement at all, on the contrary, the K120 is a treasure.

In particular, the K380, which is also a full-flow liquid oxygen kerosene engine, was revealed by Anderov, and the Sixth Academy is now thinking: the technical parameters of K380 and K120 must be the same source, so we also improve on the basis of K120, can we also change such a level of engine?

As a result, the project with the internal code YF380 was approved by the Sixth Academy, and the 380-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engine was quickly studied.

As for the 220-ton liquid oxygen methane engine that Xinyuan has reportedly tested?

The Sixth Academy ignored it, because there is not much difference in the performance of the methane machine and the kerosene machine, and it is not cheap.
