I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 659 The primary and secondary aspects of technology research and development

His answer also made everyone in the conference room burst into laughter. As a technology research and development super company, everyone is very proud of the technical level of their own company. Like those entrepreneurial technology companies, they also need to moderately exaggerate and beautify their own technology to attract investment.

In the company, their research and development funds have never been blocked, so they will naturally have a say, and if they say they can do it, they will definitely be able to do it. relaxed expression.

It's good to be confident! Since there are no problems with the timing, then there is no need to delay time. You must know that the typhoon season has already begun. If there is a typhoon at this time, our launch mission will be moved back. It's been a few days, so while the weather in the South Island is still good, let's launch it as soon as possible! Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

?? Everyone nodded in agreement with their boss's statement, after all, this is a fact that cannot be ignored. Usually from May to September every year, it is the concentrated period of typhoons affecting our country. Judging from the data of typhoons that have landed in our country over the years, Nanhai Province is the only coastal province where typhoons land in April, and the 'Gaia' rocket launch base is of course also within this sphere of influence.

Weather conditions are also one of the reasons why we are considering launching as soon as possible, but the weather conditions have been very good recently, and there has been no extreme weather for at least half a month, because we will obtain real-time data from the National Weather Center and our company's satellites. The data observed by ourselves were integrated.

Using our company's artificial intelligence origin and the computing power of our company's powerful supercomputer array to conduct in-depth calculations, the data obtained for half a month is already very accurate! Zhang Hanxiu also replied with a smile.

Okay, let's settle this matter! By the way, where has the research and development of the solid-fuel heavy-duty launch vehicle that is being developed simultaneously advanced? Lei Tiantang hadn't heard about the development progress of this type of rocket for a long time. , so I'm a little curious if Rocket Lab has encountered any difficulties.

Hearing the boss asking this question, Xiong Antai was not surprised at all, because the boss gave him the task of developing two types of heavy-duty rockets. Now one of them can be officially launched, and the other one has no loud noise. , No wonder the boss wants to ask.

Compared to the smooth development of our 'Julingshen-1' heavy-duty recoverable rocket, the research and development of the 'Julingshen-2' heavy-duty solid-fuel rocket is a little behind!

Although boss, you have also provided us with a lot of related technologies of solid fuel rockets, and we have successfully developed medium-sized solid-fuel rockets, but the progress of medium-sized rockets to heavy rockets is not a simple enlargement problem!

Many related technologies need to be optimized and upgraded, and the related data also need to be recalculated, especially the formulation optimization of solid fuel is the most time-consuming work. This work is not only dangerous, but also requires a lot of experiments and data accumulation at each step. .

Just for the development of robots for mixing and related testing of solid fuels, the Robot Lab has done a lot of improvement work on the professional engineering robots in our lab.

Because the related experiments of solid fuels require absolutely no electric sparks, or explosions may occur at any time, all kinds of robots responsible for specific types must be optimized before they can be employed.

These reasons exist objectively. Of course, it is normal to have technical difficulties. We can overcome this. The reason why the research and development of the 'Giant Shen-2' heavy solid-fuel rocket will lag behind is mainly our laboratory. I want to put the focus of the work on the 'Giant Shen-1' heavy recyclable rocket.

After all, according to the company's space program, our 'Giant Shen-1' heavy-duty recoverable rocket can fully meet the mission requirements in a short period of time.

And using a recoverable rocket is a bit cheaper in terms of launch costs.

The related tasks that need to be launched using a one-time solid rocket have not been available for a short time, so we have slowed down its research and development work, and the work still has to be divided into primary and secondary!

What Xiong Antai said is also true. Compared with liquid rocket engines, solid rocket motors have the advantages of simple structure, high propellant density, propellant can be stored in the combustion chamber for standby use, and convenient and reliable operation.

The disadvantage is that the specific impulse is small (also called specific thrust, which is the ratio of the thrust of the engine to the weight of propellant consumed per second, in seconds). The specific impulse of solid rocket motors is 250 to 300 seconds, the working time is short, and the acceleration is large, resulting in thrust It is difficult to control and difficult to start repeatedly, which is not conducive to manned flight.

Therefore, solid rocket motors are generally mainly used as engines for rockets, missiles and sounding rockets, as well as booster engines for spacecraft launch and aircraft take-off.

And because of the characteristics of the fuel, it is difficult to design a rocket that uses solid fuel to be recyclable, so the cost of use is of course much higher than that of a recyclable heavy rocket.

At the same time, the Infinite Gravity Group does not have any demand for this kind of heavy solid fuel in a short period of time, because the carrying capacity of the 'Giant Shen-1' heavy recoverable rocket, which is about to be officially launched, can fully satisfy the company for a period of time. Time for launch needs.

After all, the finished 'Giant Shen-1' heavy-duty recyclable rocket is an exaggerated figure of 82 meters in height, and the diameter of the rocket body has reached the figure of 8 meters. Of course, such exaggerated data brings The carrying capacity will also be very exaggerated.

Thanks to the material advantages and technical design advantages of the Infinite Gravity Group, the maximum load of the 'Giant Shen-1' heavy recoverable rocket in low-Earth orbit can reach 135 tons, and the carrying capacity of geosynchronous orbit has also reached 75 tons. Ton!

You must know that this number is larger than the carrying capacity of the Saturn 5, the largest carrying capacity in history, and it is still a recoverable rocket. This number is also twice as large as the existing Falcon company's heavy recoverable rocket. many!

The most important thing is that its 8-meter rocket body diameter can make the space station diameter of the Infinite Gravity Group reach the same exaggerated figure of 7.5 meters!

You must know that a space station with this diameter can have a clear height of at least 6 meters inside, which is about the height of a 2-story building. It is easy to arrange such a large space, and it will not appear crowded.
