cosmic hegemony

Chapter 196, Rocket Powered Spaceship

After listening to Zhang Xianzu's words, all the people present frowned and pondered. Of course, they all knew the importance of aerospace planes and spaceships, and they were also very clear about the technological content in them. The major powers in China have not yet developed aerospace aircraft, so they know how difficult the technology is.

Many entrepreneurs in the space field present, many of whom are scientists or engineers with technical backgrounds, can't help but frown at this time. It's no problem for everyone to play with some simple technologies, but When it comes to giants like aerospace planes and spaceships, everyone can't help but shake their heads.

"Aerospace planes and spacecraft are not so easy to research. Among them, the core plasma engine technology is currently only mastered by Fuyun Group and the country. Secondly, the same is true for magnetic field battery technology. We want to develop our own aerospace technology. Airplanes, spaceships are not realistic."

"That's right, the technical difficulty is too great, and the investment in the early stage can't see the end at all."

"The idea is very good, but it is not realistic now."

Zhang Xianzu looked at everyone shaking their heads, expressed doubts one after another, and was not angry at all, because this was expected, and he was also very clear about the technology contained in aerospace planes and spaceships, even the powerful countries on the earth could not do anything about it After researching it, if you want to unite and research it, it is really almost impossible.

"Everyone listen to me first, I also know that the core plasma engine technology of the aerospace plane is indeed very difficult, but we can buy the aerospace plane from the Fuyun Group, so we don't need to study the aerospace plane at all. "

"Now we want to develop a spacecraft to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. There is no air in the void of the universe, and the design of the spacecraft does not need to consider air resistance and so on."

"We can design a spacecraft that uses a traditional power system. As long as the thrust is strong enough, it can also drag asteroids and mine asteroids."

As soon as Zhang Xianzu finished speaking, the eyes of all the people who were frowning suddenly lit up, and they began to think quickly in their minds.

"If it is just a spaceship flying in space, it is indeed feasible. The thrust of the plasma engine is very powerful, but the thrust of the traditional rocket is actually very powerful, just because the mass of the rocket itself is also very large. Part of the mass is being used to propel itself up, so a lot of thrust is wasted."

"But if it is placed in space, because there is no influence of gravity and air, the thrust of the rocket is much stronger, and it can be used to mine asteroids on the spacecraft."

Qiu Guangming of "Starry Sky Power" thought for a while, then nodded slowly and said, he was born in the study of power, and he is also very familiar with various power systems, and he is an absolute expert in power.

"And in the universe, because there is no need to consider aerodynamics, etc., the shape of the spaceship can also be designed at will, and the speed and other aspects will not be affected in any way. If it is propelled by traditional rocket technology, it is really feasible. , we can’t develop a plasma engine, but traditional rocket technology doesn’t have any problems.”

Zhou Wenhong also followed up with his speech, and he seemed very confident with a technical background.

"If traditional rocket technology is used as the power, it is indeed feasible to go to the asteroid belt if the calculation is reasonable. If not, we can also take the aerospace plane to leave a way out."

"Can we also learn from the Fuyun Group to see if we can get some technical help or support? I am familiar with the Fuyun Group. They are still very willing to help our Huaxia people. .”

"We can also push up the rocket on the asteroid and change the orbit of the asteroid, so that the purpose of mining asteroids can also be achieved."

With the beginning of Qiu Guangming and Zhou Wenhong, some other entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds began to talk about each other, and started to have heated discussions. When the discussions reached controversial points, they even started to use virtual machines for data calculations. And contrast, in order to prove yourself to persuade the other party.

As for people with non-technical backgrounds like Lai Song, they can only watch dumbfoundedly where they are discussing at this time. Only at this time do they understand why in the field of space industry, these scientists and engineers with technical backgrounds can mix well. It is like a fish in water, because there are too many places where knowledge needs to be used.

Even if it's a simple discussion about mining asteroids, these guys can give you an advanced course in physics, astronomy, dynamics, etc., without a little ink, and you can't even get a word in.

After discussing for more than an hour, these entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds came to a consistent conclusion that it is indeed feasible to use traditional rocket technology to mine asteroids, but the risk is still very high.

Using traditional rocket propulsion technology to mine asteroids, first of all, the rocket must be very large to have enough thrust, which means that the spacecraft must also be large enough, and the fuel it carries will also be very large. Therefore, the number of corrections that can be made in space is very limited. If the corrections cannot be completed within the limited number of times, everything will be in vain.

Secondly, the Dumbo spacecraft is powered by plasma and uses a magnetic field battery, which has a high energy density and high safety, while traditional rocket technology is much less safe than traditional rocket technology, and it is also very large, requiring a large part space to store fuel, compressing the available space.

Although there are many problems and risks compared with the Dumbo spacecraft, it is theoretically feasible, and the most important thing is that there are very huge profits in it.

An asteroid with a diameter of less than 100 meters can be sold for tens of billions of Chinese coins casually when it is pulled back to the earth. What kind of concept is this? Now the value of Chinese coins has soared. Obtaining traditional rocket fuel and so on at a very small cost, compared to the huge benefits, this cost is actually almost negligible.

As long as the asteroid can be successfully mined back, you can get a huge return. Although the risk is high, the cost is relatively low and the profit is high. Everyone knows this business clearly and can do it!

"If you want to get a share of the asteroid mining industry, you should show your sincerity. As long as we work together, the asteroid belt will become our gold and silver mountains in the future."

Zhang Xianzu reached an agreement with entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds such as Zhou Wenhong and Qiu Guangming, and agreed to cooperate with each other to develop the corresponding spaceship. However, Zhang Xianzu obviously will not forget that there are still many People like Lai Song exist.

Although these people have no technology, the funds in their hands are very much needed by everyone. If they want to develop new spaceships and organize people to mine asteroids in the asteroid belt, etc., technology, funds, talents, luck, etc. are the same. Not less, so I also intend to let these people participate in the investment.

Of course, if only funds are involved, the share must be the smallest. Funds are everywhere, so you don’t have to look for them. However, technology, talents, etc. are only available to you and others. These things are the space industry. The most important thing in the field.

There are strong technology and scientific and technological talents, and some capital is willing to invest. If you are only rich, you may not be able to mix in the space field. You must know that the major powers on the earth are very rich, but there are too many things. Nothing can be solved by money.

"Brother Zhang, I don't care about these technical matters. I can do whatever you want. I don't have anything else. I still have some funds. I will invest 50 billion Chinese dollars."

Lai Song, who has been struggling with no chance to participate in the space industry, immediately made an investment without hesitation. The price was 50 billion Chinese dollars. Although it seems small compared to the worth of everyone present, you must know that this is Cash, to be able to take out 50 billion in cash at once, this is very awesome.

Lai Song also has no choice. He knows that the opportunity for him to buy a road with money is in front of him. If he misses it, if he wants to enter the space industry in the future, it will definitely be the same as before.

So even though they have already said that the risks in it are very high, Lai Song still invested in it decisively. For Lai Song, 50 billion Chinese dollars is also a very large amount of money, enough to account for several percent of his wealth, and he needs to sell a lot assets can be raised.

"Okay, count Mr. Lai as one."

Zhang Xianzu nodded with a slight smile. Although he didn't really want to play with him before, but this time, because he was the first to speak out to support him, he took him to play this time and gave him the opportunity to enter the space industry.

"Mr. Zhang, count me in too. I invest 100 billion Hong Kong dollars."

A person with an obvious Cantonese accent also spoke slowly. This is a super rich man from Hong Kong. Now the rich in Hong Kong and Macau also like to hang out with the rich in mainland China, because they are also jealous of the rapidly developing virtual world industry, space industry, moon mining, etc.

It's just that he has always been similar to Lai Song, and has never had any connections, so although he is jealous of the mainland's wealth in the space industry, virtual world, moon mining and other fields gushing out like a fountain, there is no way to share it.

"Mr. Zhang, I also invest 50 billion."

"… .."

With the beginning, the other rich people present also opened their mouths, and soon the rich people like Lai Song alone invested more than 5000 billion in capital. For the gold and silver mountains of the asteroid belt, these people are also crazy.
