Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

After hearing Lv Yongchang's words, Hong Qiming had no reaction, but Cao Liangcai on the side could not help but exclaimed.

"Ten Hall propulsion units?"

"Didn't we say before that five propulsion units would be enough?!"

"Huh?" Hong Qiming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lv Yongchang with a strange look.

"Yongchang, you can't say this nonsense. If the chairman of the parliament blames me, I can't bear it!"

Lv Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and hurriedly explained.

"At the beginning, our plan was indeed to install five Hall propulsion units."

"Although the thrust of 50 mils is not as good as that of large passenger aircraft such as Boeing 747, it is enough for smaller space planes."

"It can even be said to be more than enough."

Hong Qiming's eyes were more puzzled: "Then why..."

Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment and said: "In the original design, the maximum flight altitude of the first generation of space planes was within 2,000 kilometers, which is the Earth's near-Earth orbit."

"Later, I thought about it carefully. Since we are going to make space planes, why not just make the best?"

"Why not double the number of Hall propulsion units and enlarge the aircraft frame."

"Although the manufacturing difficulty may increase slightly, the performance of this first generation of space planes will be greatly improved!"

"According to calculations, this space plane will be able to take off directly from the ground to the moon."

"The fuel it carries will be enough to support two round-trip flights between the earth and the moon!"

Hong Qiming took a breath!

Good guy!

What did he hear? !

Take off directly to the moon? And be able to go back and forth twice? !

Looking at the wide eyes of Academician Cao Liangcai, Hong Qiming suddenly felt that he was a little out of control of the situation.

"Wait, wait!"

"Professor Lu, are you sure that what you said are all verified data?"

Seeing Lu Yongchang nod his head in affirmation, Hong Qiming's pupils shrank slightly, and then he reached out and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Wait a minute, I need to report the situation to the chairman of the parliament!"

...

A few minutes later, Hong Qiming hung up the phone with a complicated expression.

"What did the chairman of the parliament say?"

Lu Yongchang asked Hong Qiming with curiosity.

Facing Lu Yongchang's question, Hong Qiming glanced at him with a strange expression, and then slowly shook his head.

"I really don't know what kind of magic potion you gave to the chairman of the parliament."

"Member Li asked me to fully cooperate with your research plan. If you need anything, just tell me."

Lu Yongchang's expression was slightly startled, as if he thought of something.

His eyes moved slightly, and he said directly: "Minister Hong, so, I really have a problem that needs your help!"

Hong Qiming's voice suddenly paused, and his face became more and more strange.

"You say it, but I have said it in advance, we will not do anything that violates the principle!"

Lv Yongchang: "..."

He smiled bitterly and touched the tip of his nose, and said unhappily: "Minister Hong, you think too highly of me. I dare not do this thing that violates the principle!"

"Let's get back to the topic." Lv Yongchang's expression became a little serious, "The first generation of aerospace plane lacks three pilots!"

"Pilot?"

Hong Qiming waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "This is a small matter."

"When the time comes, I will take you directly to the Air Force Brigade to pick someone!"

To Hong Qiming's surprise, Lv Yongchang shook his head and rejected his proposal: "Minister Hong, I'm afraid this won't work!"

"The requirements for pilots of aerospace planes are higher, and I'm afraid the Air Force Brigade... can't meet its requirements."

Hearing Lv Yongchang's words, Hong Qiming's face flashed a trace of astonishment.

What the hell?

The pilots of the Air Force Group can't meet the requirements?

He glanced at Lv Yongchang with a surprised look, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Yongchang, don't you know the pilots of the Air Force Group?"

"If ordinary pilots can't meet the requirements, you can just pick those golden helmet ace pilots!"

"Don't worry, those pilots are absolutely skilled!"

Lv Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not a problem of flying skills."

"Huh?" Hong Qiming was more and more confused.

"According to my expectations, this aerospace plane needs to perform multiple flight missions to the moon."

"In my opinion, flying skills are a secondary option." Lv Yongchang said meaningfully, "Sufficient space flight experience is what aerospace plane pilots need most!"

Unlike ordinary aircraft in the atmosphere, the powerful enough power of the aerospace plane can easily solve most unexpected situations in the atmosphere.

After all, there is an old saying that goes, a brick can fly with great force!

What aerodynamics, it doesn't exist!

As long as the power is strong enough, even a brick can fly you out of the solar system!

In addition, most of the time when the space shuttle is performing its mission, it is outside the geosynchronous orbit.

Therefore, sufficient space flight experience has become one of the necessary conditions for space shuttle pilots!

After listening to Lv Yongchang's explanation, Hong Qiming nodded gently.

So that's it!

"In that case, I'll go to the Xiaguo Astronaut Research and Training Center to help you."

"I'll help you find three astronauts who have been to space, is that okay?"

Hearing Hong Qiming's words, Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not possible yet."

"Minister Hong, don't forget that this aerospace plane is not a rocket. The pilot must also take into account the flight mission within the atmosphere."

Hong Qiming sighed softly.

This is troublesome.

Not only must you master the skills of flying within the atmosphere, but you must also have sufficient space flight experience...

You must also meet a series of other age and physical fitness requirements...

Although he has not conducted an investigation, Hong Qiming can still conclude that.

Xiaguo should not be able to find talents that meet this standard.

Not to mention Xiaguo, it is estimated that it is difficult to find such talents on the entire earth!

Hong Qiming's eyes moved slightly, and he whispered: "How about...I will pick three astronauts and send them to the air force base for training for a period of time?"

Lv Yongchang's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a good idea!

But a concern immediately came to his mind.

"How long will the training at the air force base take?"

Hong Qiming frowned and shook his head slowly: "I'm not sure about this either."

"I estimate... it will take half a year to a year!"

"No! Too slow!"

Lv Yongchang frowned and glanced at the calendar next to him.

April 3.

"Give them a month of training at most!" Lv Yongchang said firmly, "After a month, I estimate that Xiaguo's first space plane can be manufactured!"
