Chapter 100: Long March 6 Yao 3

In the end, driven by Lin Ju's aroused curiosity, the CS75 not only ran around the entire base, but even drove some distance on the road outside the base despite the objections of the engineers, with a top speed of nearly 100 per hour.

Many employees who work saw this car and thought it was the masterpiece of Xin'an Intelligent Driving Department, which confused the latter.

When it was dark, Lin Ju was sent back to the base by SC09 and jumped out of the car, touching the wiring harness on the outside of the vehicle and couldn't help but sigh:

The production of X32035 is too low, with an average daily output of 120 pieces, and eight pieces can run SC09, even if it is reduced to four pieces, it can only supply 30 vehicles, and the full supply of cars a year can only meet the demand of 10,000 vehicles, which is too little.

And this is also impossible, the spacecraft and internal needs are greater, X32035 is to support supercomputing, and has the potential for deep AI learning, from which it is completely unfeasible to give the automotive industry.

Another point, the cost of automatic production line is very high, the average production cost of this batch of X32035 is 35,000 yuan per piece, the cost of aerospace is insignificant, but it is not feasible for civilian use.

Therefore, it is still necessary to design the ternary chips and components of the silicon wafer version by themselves, which are produced by chip companies, which can not only reduce the price but also greatly increase the output.

However, the microelectronics section of the electronic device department has been working this, especially to obtain X32035 can carry out substantial ternary compilation design, and the progress will definitely be fast.

……

In the Liangshan Prefecture Autonomous Region, He Ru took a few people to pick up a few special "passengers" outside the railway station.

More than half an hour after the train arrived, Xinyuan's docking personnel walked up to them with two oversized metal-shelled suitcases.

Here are two sets of rocket recovery control systems, which have been programmed according to the data of YF100K and Long March 6, and sent directly to the Selenium Chang Satellite Launch Center.

The Long March 6 Yao-3 rocket, which has been postponed again, will be equipped with two of the two sets of customized control systems worth 20 million yuan, and will be modified to the RX01 technical bus standard, which is expected to take nine days and be launched on August 28.

This is another project approved by the Aviation Development Commission to carry out recyclable transformation of the Long March series of launch vehicles, and it will start with the Long March 6.

Originally, the space agency hoped to buy technology and finished products, but Xinyuan was far from selling, it was the accumulation of countless launches in parallel worlds, and this part of the data in the control system sold was encrypted with a ternary algorithm, and the system was completely closed to eliminate the possibility of reverse.

After several fruitless negotiations, the space agency could only choose to accept it, and at the same time, it also issued an instruction to "walk on two legs".

If Xinyuan's recycling control system can be successful, then you can accumulate some experience anyway, right? The finished product is there, and the reverse ... If the technology cannot be broken, then the responsibility must be investigated.

The components of a suitcase are 20 million yuan, which is not high for a reusable rocket, and it will definitely be earned back in terms of economic benefits, so the space agency paid this money.

In the following time, He Ruo and a group of people completed the renovation project of the Long March 6 with the assistance of Xinyuan engineers, and it was completed two days ahead of schedule and could be launched on August 26.

At 11 a.m. that day, the Long March 6 Yao-3 rocket was launched, and the third recovery attempt was made after the satellite was put into the intended orbit.

While the space agency was worried and expectant, and Xinyuan engineers were as steady as old dogs, the Long March 6 landed safely in the middle of the landing site without any accidents.

"Congratulations, congratulations to Chief Master He, the Changliu reuse version is still completed."

Receiving the congratulations of doubtful sincerity, He Ruo resisted the urge to run to dismantle the control system, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Even if the technology is not good, can't you copy the finished product when you get it? If you can't get your own recycling control system, then you really have to review and resign.

And then there are two types of rocket configurations of the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, which have also completely changed.

Those are the two brothers of Long March 7 and Long March 8.

The Long March 7 originally planned to use a 3.35-meter diameter core stage and two YF100s, bundled with four 2.25-meter boosters and one YF100 each, with a total thrust of 727 tons and a LEO capacity of 14 tons.

The first-level configuration of the Long March 8 is two less boosters than the Long March 7, with a total thrust of 480 tons and a LEO capacity of about 8 tons.

And the configuration is as follows:

The new Long March 8 adopts a 3.35-meter reusable core stage, equipped with a YF100K, bundled with two 3.35-meter boosters each equipped with two YF100K in parallel, 5 YF100K take-off thrust of 625 tons, take-off mass of 500 tons, LEO transport capacity of 9 tons, the booster is not separated during recovery, tied to the core stage rocket for overall recovery, and the latter engine decelerates and controls the landing;

The new Long March 7 is bundled with four 3.35-meter two YF100K boosters, and the core stage is still 3.35-meter and one YF100K, with a total of 9 YF100K thrust of 1125 tons and take-off mass of 890 tons, which is also an overall recovery, and the LEO capacity is 20 tons.

Although the cost has risen a lot, and the dead weight of recycling is also large, the technical route is conservative and easy to achieve, but the load factor is somewhat touching...... But it also met the positioning requirements, didn't it?

The only thing missing is a mature 3.35-meter core-level recycling control system.

And this task of recycling the control system was entrusted to the Eighth Academy......

The first technical cooperation under the leadership of the Aviation Development Commission was a complete success, and ISS began the final decision on the contractor for the manned launch mission in September.

Although on the surface it is a fair game, with the parameters of the empty fork, Xinyuan and Lucia throwing the scheme, in fact, IISS has added an Aramco and a European astronaut, and it has already been biased towards Xinyuan in terms of action.

In the internal intention survey of the follow-up astronauts, except for a few Maozi who thought that their Soyuz spacecraft was the best, the rest felt that it was the most comfortable to take the space shuttle.

If the mission is carried out by Unity, its interface will be a 1.2-meter round port on the node module of the "Harmony" built by E-Belt, which will need to be modified on the existing 0.9-meter interface.

The transformation method is to remove half of the 0.9-meter round port, and then add an adapter with a height of about 50cm, which is used to connect the 1.2-meter round port, because the interface is in the upper part of the fuselage, it has no great impact on the structure and heat insulation, and the design is relatively reliable.

The data of the European standard 1.2-meter round mouth has been sent by Alenia Aerospace, and the adapter interface is also being manufactured.

Although Ma Yilong's Dragon spacecraft has very good data, because it has not yet carried out a manned flight, the odds of winning are very small, and the alliance TMA-18M is not possible for the time being.

So now the final leg of the road is for the ISS member states to spit on each other and fight for a little more exchange of interests.

On the last day of August, NACA finally compromised under pressure from many parties and contracted the $145 million mission originally scheduled for September 2 to the Space Shuttle Unity, which was launched on September 17 by a Xinyuan-2 rocket.

The reason for the use of Xinyuan-2 is that there are astronauts on this mission, and there are four people in the space station who will return to the ground as a rotation, and originally three people returned in the Soyuz TMA-16M, but in the end ISS left the TMA-16M as a reserve on the space station.

If you have to wait for Xinyuan-5, it may not be able to carry out the launch mission until November, which will greatly disrupt the deployment of the ISS.

The four people who returned to the ground reached the return of the Unity by the way, and the return ticket bought three and got one free, each of which was $1 million, and a total of $3 million could be paid, which directly saved a coalition spacecraft and could save a lot of money for the follow-up mission.

It cost less than 150 million to send five astronauts up and four down, which made all ISS member states feel that it was a good deal, and it was much cheaper than before to spread it on everyone's head.

An ESA spokesman even said that China was going to take it cheaply from the ground into space, saying that it was a huge mistake to exclude the Chinese space agency from the ISS.
