cosmic hegemony

Chapter 198, In the end, it still depends on Fuyun Group

"Many designs of your spacecraft are eye-catching, especially the layout of the nine launch rockets is very reasonable, which can maximize the thrust of the rocket."

Chen Bin loosened his brows, thought about it in his mind, and opened his mouth slowly.

When Zhou Wenhong and Qiu Guangming saw Chen Bin frowning, they knew that he must have discovered a fatal flaw in the spaceship, so they also seemed to be listening attentively.

"But I don't know if you have considered that when the thrust of the spaceship is too strong, the requirements for the overall frame of the spaceship will increase accordingly. Judging from the thrust of your nine heavy-duty launch vehicles, the skeleton of your spaceship must not be able to support it. .”

Chen Bin shook his head lightly. Overall, the "Kowloon" spacecraft is fine. There is absolutely no problem flying between the earth and the moon, but it will definitely cause problems if it is used to mine asteroids in the solar system.

"what?"

When Qiu Guangming and Zhou Wenhong heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. Then they connected the virtual machine in their minds and began to use the computer to perform the deduction. The result of the deduction was undoubtedly the same as what Chen Bin said, until the nine heavy-duty rockets started at the same time. , the overall frame of the spaceship could not withstand such a huge thrust and fell apart.

"This, this, why didn't you consider this at the beginning."

Qiu Guangming slapped his face fiercely, looking very annoyed. Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because he has no experience in building such large spaceships before. Small spaceships flying between.

This kind of small spacecraft is actually very low-tech, especially those spacecraft that do not need to travel to and from the ground but only fly in space. They only need to be equipped with a good engine, and they can basically fly freely in the void between the earth and the moon. of flying.

However, the spaceships used to mine asteroids are far from what these small spaceships can compare to. This type of spaceship has a large mass and is very powerful. The requirements for the overall performance of the spaceship, especially the keel of the spaceship, are much higher. up.

Small spaceships don’t even have the concept of a keel. Many times, they are just a space capsule, which is similar to the kind of small raft that can only walk in creeks and rivers. Maybe it’s just a plank or a few bamboos. consist of.

Such a small raft can only walk in creeks and small rivers. Once it enters larger rivers, it cannot withstand the wind and waves at all. Naturally, the requirements for ships in large rivers are much higher. They need to be hard and powerful. Only a strong keel can support strong winds and waves. As for ships sailing in the open ocean, the requirements are even higher.

"Yeah, why didn't I take this factor into consideration. Fortunately, I asked the senior to come over to help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhou Wenhong also followed with a heavy nod. The "Nine Dragons" spacecraft jointly built by many space technology companies cost a lot of money and put everyone's hopes on it. Now there is no way to undertake the heavy task of mining asteroids.

"Actually, it's normal for you to make such mistakes. When I presided over the construction of the Dumbo spaceship, it was the same at the beginning. Later, it was Brother Fu's guidance that I realized the importance of this point, and redesigned and redesigned it. Only then did the Dumbo spaceship be successfully manufactured."

Speaking of Li Fu, the eyes of Zhou Wenhong and Qiu Guangming couldn't help but light up. This legendary figure, the founder of Fuyun Group, a world-renowned scientist, and as a person in the field of space science and technology, both of them are very fond of Li Fu. It is clear that Huaxia is able to have today's situation, in fact, it is because of the appearance of Li Fu, who has solved many major difficulties in aerospace aircraft.

"Senior, I wonder if we have any way to remedy it? We have invested tens of billions of Chinese dollars in this spaceship. If we just give up like this, the loss will be too great."

Zhou Wenhong is still a little unwilling, hoping to find a remedy. After all, such a huge investment, it would be a pity to scrap it.

"It's useless. Your spaceship has already been finalized. My suggestion is to build a new one. These spaceships can be used to go back and forth between the earth and the moon, but the fuel consumption is too high. It's tasteless and tasteless." , It’s a pity to abandon it!”

Chen Bin shook his head. With such a large spaceship, and a spaceship that has basically been built, there is no way to remedy it. It is better to rebuild a spaceship.

"Used to travel between the earth and the moon? Then we will all go bankrupt. Although the launch vehicle technology is relatively backward, these high-purity fuels are very valuable."

After hearing this, Qiu Guangming shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that the most important reason why countries on the earth could not compete with Huaxia was that Huaxia firmly controlled the cheap means of transportation to and from space - aerospace planes, using traditional launch vehicles The cost of technology traveling to and from space is too great.

Casually launching a rocket will cost at least tens of millions. There are 9 super-large launch vehicles on this spaceship. Once the launch vehicle is started, the consumption will not be fuel, but red coins. .

"We can only dismantle this spaceship and rebuild it. At least many things can still be used again, and the cost can still be greatly reduced."

"It's just, senior, how to design the keel and skeleton of the spaceship, and what kind of materials should be used. I also ask the senior to help and give some advice."

Zhou Wenhong also seemed very helpless. Originally, everyone was ambitious to build a spaceship to mine asteroids in the asteroid belt and share a piece of this huge cake, but now it seems that the cake is not so delicious, nor is it Anyone can eat anything.

"The design of the keel and skeleton can refer to ocean-going ships on the ground. As for the material to be used, I personally suggest that it is best to use black gold material. Of course, if you can find a material with strong strength, toughness, and pressure resistance, it is also possible."

After Chen Bin listened, he thought carefully in his mind. This kind of spaceship for mining asteroids is better like the Dumbo spaceship, and the skeleton made of black gold materials is safer.

However, this black gold material is an exclusive product of Fuyun Group, and even Huaxia officials have not mastered the relevant technology, so in the end the skeleton still needs to go to Fuyun Group.
