Chapter 508: Astronautical Center Construction
“Boom boom boom!…” In the sky, a huge aerospace plane is landing, and according to the model of this aerospace plane, it is clear that this aerospace plane is not a model produced by Tiangong Technology.
That’s right, today’s human civilization, after three years of development, at this time, human civilization, companies that can produce aerospace planes or aerospace agencies are no longer limited to Tiangong Technology.
In addition to the Phoenix series of Tiangong Technology, at this time, the official also developed an aerospace plane with the joint efforts of R&D personnel.
At the same time, bald eagles and polar bears are already capable of producing aerospace planes.
It’s just that in terms of performance, there is a huge gap between the official aerospace planes and the aerospace planes of other aerospace agencies in the world and Tiangong Technology.
Take this flying feather 21 aerospace plane as an example. Although the volume of this aerospace plane is much larger than that of the Phoenix-kt1, it is even almost reaching the level of the Phoenix-kt2 hillbilly. In terms of load and other performance, it is far from comparable to Tiangong’s Phoenix-kt1.
After all, as an aerospace aircraft, its total weight is always the most important factor in measuring aircraft performance.
According to official data that has now been released, the maximum take-off weight of this Feiyu 21 aerospace aircraft has reached nearly 300 tons, but it can only carry materials weighing about five tons and six astronauts at most. Send to low-Earth orbit. As for mid-orbit, this aerospace plane does not yet have the carrying capacity. Even if it is an empty aircraft, it cannot reach mid-orbit, let alone mid-to-high orbit.
However, there is still a big gap between this aerospace plane and Tiangong’s Phoenix series, but if compared with other space agencies in the world, its performance is the strongest.
Take the Saturn 8 aerospace plane developed by the Bald Eagle in the past two years. Its maximum take-off weight is more than 300 tons and the length is more than 80 meters.
However, it can only send a maximum of about three tons of cargo and three astronauts into low-Earth orbit, and at the same time, it does not have the ability to navigate in medium-to-high orbits.
There is also the Cold Winter 40 aerospace aircraft in the Arctic, which has a total weight of only two tons, and it can only carry two astronauts at the same time.
From here, we can see how big the gap between these space agencies and Tiangong Technology is.
However, this is actually only on the surface. If you really observe carefully, you will find that in fact, many things on these aerospace planes are unique products of Tiangong Technology. In addition to Tiangong Technology, everything on the earth No company or organization can produce it.
For example, the engines used on these aerospace planes, especially detonation pulse rocket engines.
That is to say, if there is no engine from Tiangong Technology, most of these aerospace planes will not be able to go to the sky. Help, they can confidently produce pulse detonation rocket engines, but their own research and development and production of engines, its mass thrust, etc., still can not compare with Tiangong Technology, even if it is Tiangong-1 pulse detonation rocket engine.
But even if this is the case, it is already an incredible improvement for the government, because it shows that on the entire earth, apart from the ability of Tiangong Technology to produce engines for aerospace aircraft, they are also the only two capable of producing aerospace aircraft. The mechanism of the sky plane engine.
However, no matter what, the organization capable of producing aerospace planes on the earth nowadays is no longer just the only Tiangong Technology.
At the same time, this is what Tiangong Technology is very happy to see.
But there is one thing. Actually, Wang Bin is still very confused. He even vaguely thinks that all space agencies in the world have collectively discussed good things.
That is, although major aerospace agencies have built interstellar airports for take-off and landing aerospace planes, the scale of these airports is very small. If you can hear about three or five aerospace planes, it is already very impressive.
Therefore, since the start of the Earth Defense Program, major aerospace agencies have directly transferred various aerospace-related industries. For example, X Aerospace Corporation has been on the side of the Great Desert since the start of the Earth Defense Program. Purchased a large piece of land and immediately began to construct the relevant factory area.
Even their company’s most important database has been moved here, and at the same time there is also a production base for their own research and development of aerospace planes.
It can be seen from this that the major aerospace agencies have already negotiated, and the desert side has definitely been regarded as the core area of the entire plan, and will be used as the aerospace center for the earth to fly into space in the future.
This also makes the Chinese people very excited.
After all, everyone knows very well that there is the most important aerospace center on the earth, which will definitely greatly boost the economy of the entire China, especially for the central and western regions.
This can be seen from the cargo throughput of major domestic ports and the increasingly busy railway and road network in the past few years.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this that the Great Desert Space Center is also busy at this time, and the number of permanent residents is also increasing at an alarming rate.
Of course, compared to the permanent population, more people come to the Great Desert Space Center at this time.
After all, there are dozens of aerospace planes here every day, taking off from here to the Universe, and sending the materials and personnel needed by the space station.
At the same time, as the Great Desert Space Center is becoming more prosperous, the entire Great Desert Space Center is starving to death with increasing demand for electricity. In the past, they could still provide electricity through a large number of solar power stations.
However, with the substantial increase in factories, the electricity generated by the solar power station is no longer available, and the entire aerospace center is consumed.
Fortunately, today’s Tiangong Technology has mastered relatively mature controllable nuclear fusion technology. Therefore, since last year, it has begun to build large-scale controllable nuclear fusion power plants less than 100 kilometers away from the space center of the Great Desert. Once this large-scale controllable nuclear fusion power station is completed, the Great Desert Space Center will no longer have to worry about electricity.
Because, according to the design plan, this nuclear power station is a very large, controllable nuclear fusion power station. Its reactor core diameter has reached more than 300 meters, and the entire core weight has reached tens of thousands of tons. The maximum power generation can reach the sum of the power generation of several Three Gorges power stations.
