Chapter 572 Star Ring Space Station (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 572 Star Ring Space Station (seeking a monthly ticket)

The company's magnetic desalination equipment is in full swing, and Muyang has been paying attention to the progress of the desert greening project.

In order to speed up the desert greening project, Mu Yang ordered the Feilong to transport materials for desert greening.

He really doesn't care about the cost. In the past four months, the desert greening base has built simple houses. At present, the number of employees has reached 1,000, and planting work has begun.

With the addition of Feilong, more than 200 tons of materials can be transported long-distance at one time. The greening work is progressing rapidly. Now the most important thing in the greening base is materials. Instead, the warehouse staff worry about handling and sorting materials. Apart from the poor environment, in terms of supplies, it feels not much different from that in the city.

At present, the pure green planting team has a total of 500 people. The planting started a month ago, and about 10 square kilometers of green plants have been planted.

This speed is artificial planting, machine digging, and trucks transporting water and saplings.

After planting, the work is not over, and the workers still need to manage it, which is too time-consuming.

The application of mechanization is not very good yet, and many machines are being produced.

If the machine comes up, the planting speed will be doubled;

After the company's robotic equipment is applied, the efficiency will be even faster.

Planting in the future will be more automated and intelligent, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce labor costs.

Now Muyang has three scientific research priorities: intelligent robot, magnetic desalination equipment and Sky One.

a few days later,

December 15 at two o'clock in the afternoon,

Han Li came to the chairman's office and told Mu Yang the optimization progress and practical effects of the ground-effect aircraft.

After Mu Yang read it, he gave them two new tasks.

The first task is to use the Flying Dragon as a template to design a small ground-effect aircraft, which does not need to be large, mainly to facilitate the commuting and material transportation of the company's employees from the headquarters to the rocket base, as well as the transportation of materials for the green base.

The straight-line distance from the company to the rocket base is about 200 kilometers. Although the helicopter flies faster, it is very troublesome to declare each route, and a fixed time has to be agreed, which is very inconvenient.

Moreover, Mu Yang thought of a certain football star who had seen many scenes of helicopter crashes, and he felt unsafe about helicopters.

If you have a small ground-effect aircraft, take the Qianjiang corridor to the sea, and then fly tens of meters away from the sea at high speed, and you can reach the base in less than an hour, which is very convenient.

Even if there is a failure, it will fall to the sea at most, and the safety performance is very strong.

The engine scheme adopts two 01J afterburning turbofan engines + two lift fans, with a maximum thrust of 58 tons and a maximum carrying capacity of 28 tons. The vertical lift and landing scheme is also adopted.

The largest helicopter in active service is Mi 26, with a fuselage length of 40 meters, a rotor diameter of 32 meters, and a load capacity of 20 tons.

However, ground-effect aircraft has a disadvantage. When hovering, since the airflow of the lift fan is facing downward, the vector nozzle of the engine is also facing downward, so it is not suitable for rescue from below.

Of course, ground-effect aircraft is more flexible than helicopters, especially very stable, and can enter narrow spaces, even if it hits surrounding objects, it will not cause any serious problems. At most, it will be scratched like a car.

But helicopters are not good. When entering a narrow space, it is necessary to consider whether the propeller will hit objects, which is a test of the pilot's driving ability.

Generally speaking, the ground effect aircraft is more suitable for Muyang's current sea, land and air transportation.

After all, the Feilong is too big. If you get a Feilong 2 with a load capacity of 20 to 30 tons, you can also design a MINI type, the Feilong 3, with a load capacity of only 2 to 3 tons.

Dragon III can be powered by two small lift fans + a small afterburning turbofan engine.

After the two aircrafts are produced, not only can they be used by themselves, but they can also be sold to Junfang.

The second task is the aerospace plane.

Mu Yang also called Wang Hai, the vice president of technology, and he also has the right to know, so that he doesn't know what scientific research projects are going on below.

"The key point is the aerospace plane, Dragon 2 and Dragon 3, take your time, don't rush."

After explaining the task clearly to the two of them, Mu Yang ordered, "I have prepared the materials of the aerospace plane for a long time, and I have sorted it out. You need to improve the details. You organize the personnel first, and hold a technical seminar the day after tomorrow. Explain the precautions and requirements.

For Feilong 2 and 3, just design according to the large size. "

After listening to the chairman's words, the two were full of expectations and challenges, and finally they were going to build this aerospace plane!

When the ground-effect aircraft was in progress, the chairman told them a general scientific research direction. When the ground-effect aircraft was completed, it would be used as an aerospace plane. No. After all, there are too many limitations.

The space station on the earth can be used as a transfer station or fuel replenishment station. In the future, space vehicles can be refueled and replenished through the space station, so as to achieve long-term navigation and mission execution.

The research of aerospace aircraft is not a simple matter, it requires expertise in various aspects and a lot of patience and investment.

Now, they have a lot easier when they have a chairman who solves the core problem.

They are curious about the efficiency of the chairman's research on cutting-edge technology, but they don't ask deeply. After all, the chairman has won the drawing design champion of the global skills competition.

Over the years, they have followed the chairman's side and witnessed many miracles, such as the chairman's quick drawing, which is several times more efficient than theirs.

The ability of the two students led by the chairman has surpassed them.

After handing over the matter of Kongtian-1, Mu Yang notified the secretary to ask Ye Fan to come over for a meeting and let Han Li and Wang Hai listen together.

Han Li is the technical manager of Space Exploration Technology Project Group 1, responsible for the technical research and development of aerospace engines, ground-effect vehicles, aerospace aircraft and future space carriers;

And Ye Fan is the technical manager of the space exploration technology project team 2, responsible for the technology development and management of rocket bases, rocket engines, satellite technology and space stations.

Many technologies of the two project teams are common, so there is no restriction on the communication between the two project teams.

The technology secrecy of Xinghai Group is very strict. Except for the vice president of technology, even the technical manager is not allowed to ask other technical project teams about the core work.

For ordinary scientific researchers, it is not clear what technical projects the group has. Many technical projects are open to the public, and some are kept secret internally. Only the senior management, the vice president of technology and the technical manager know.

Space Exploration Group 1 and Group 2 each have more than 1,000 employees, and Mu Yang did not merge them together.

In a few days, there will be major changes in the technical organization system.

In the morning, Mu Yang informed Ye Fan to return to the headquarters base from the rocket base to report to work, and now he is in the office.

Now the rocket base is the main office center of the Space 2 team. Many people in the project team often work there. Ye Fan often travels between the headquarters base and the rocket base, and occasionally visits the rocket production factory in Yangfu District. .

After a while, Ye Fan went to the chairman's office and reported the latest work situation of the rocket base to the chairman.

Up to now, the rocket base has accepted and completed five rocket launch orders, seizing most of the satellite launch orders in the world. There are three orders for various countries to launch satellites together.

Xinghai Group currently only accepts satellite launches, but not space station orders.

After hearing the general situation, Mu Yang asked, "How is the progress of the astronauts?"

Ye Fan replied respectfully: "Chairman, after preliminary screening and preliminary examination, a total of 70 people have entered the formal training. They were selected from tens of thousands of applicants. They have excellent physical and psychological conditions. We believe that He is up to the task of this important."

"Well, that's right. Now we need to speed up the development of aerospace planes, speed up the manned spaceflight experiment, and strive to complete the manned spaceflight experiment within two years. Manager Han, you need to communicate more with Ye Fan." Mu Yang is satisfied. Said.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Okay."

Mu Yang asked again: "How are the preparations for the extravehicular spacesuit and the experimental space station?"

Ye Fan replied: "The extravehicular spacesuit has been successfully developed, which is lighter and more durable than previous spacesuits, and can adapt to more complex mission requirements.

The construction of the experimental space station has already begun and is expected to be completed within three months. It is planned to launch the Xingkong-2 rocket to transport the space station in April next year. "

When he saw the chairman's drawing for the first time, he was very shocked by the design of the star ring space station.

It is divided into three parts: the central ring, star bridge and outer ring.

The central ring is 30 meters in diameter and is the control center of the star ring.

There are six bridges connecting the central ring and the outer ring, which are called star bridges.

The outer diameter of the outer ring is 200 meters, the inner diameter is 158 meters, that is, the width is 21 meters, and it is divided into 48 equal parts around the center point, that is, each part is divided into 7.5 degrees. To be precise, it is a 48-gon , rather than a pure circle.

The channel is between 176 meters and 180 meters in diameter, and the general width is 2 meters. There are rooms on both sides of the channel, which can be used as laboratories.

The ring near the center is called the small ring, and the outermost ring is called the big ring. In fact, there is only one passage between the big and small rings.

48 equal divisions are equivalent to 96 large rooms on each floor, and each room can be individually closed.

That is, the area of ​​the outer room is about 156 square meters, and the inner room is about 135 square meters.

The total thickness of the star ring is 10 meters, that is, the height is 10 meters, and there are 192 rooms on two floors, and the height of each floor is 5 meters;

If a large space is required, the height of a single floor is 10 meters.

The wall thickness is 500 mm, including structures such as structural frame, heat insulation layer, radiation protection layer, vacuum layer and water, electricity and hydraulic circuit installation layer.

Therefore, the thickness of a single layer minus the thickness of the upper and lower walls is one meter thick, and the actual inner height is 4 meters.

A large-area room requires 16 cubic meters of alloy steel alone. These alloy steels are composite materials with a total mass of about 60 tons. Adding other facilities, the total mass of a single room is about 65 tons.

The small area room is about 55 tons;

Therefore, there are 192 rooms in the star ring, and the total mass of light alloy steel is about 11,520 tons.

If equipment and materials are added, it will be about 15,000 tons.

If one hundred people live, the material used is less than one thousand tons a year.

It can be said that the star ring is enough for two hundred people to live for more than one year.

The experimental space station is only a part of the star ring, with a total of 10 rooms.

It needs to launch the Xingkong-2 rocket twice to complete the transportation, or it is also possible to use the space plane to transport, but the cost will be higher.

Ye Fan was shocked by the chairman's design at that time. He was very excited and fantasized that one day he would also be able to work in the space station.

It's not a fantasy now, there will be a chance.

Of course, the construction cost of the star ring is also extremely high, not to mention other things, just 10,000 tons of alloy steel materials is a lot of money.

However, relative to the launch cost, it seems nothing.

The total investment of the Star Ring project is 100 billion yuan, including launch costs, which is nothing. A standard aircraft carrier costs tens of billions of yuan.

After listening to Ye Fan's report, Mu Yang nodded in approval and said: "Okay, although we are much more advanced than our peers, we can't be complacent, our goal is the stars and the sea.

A few years ago, someone asked me why I called the company’s name ‘Xinghai’, and that’s what I meant.

When I first established the company, many people probably laughed at me for not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth.

However, we have now laid a solid foundation and accomplished several spaceflight goals, and we are not far from manned landing on the moon, that is, in the next few years.

After completing the mission to the moon, our next step is to develop the moon. "

Wang Hai, Han Li, and Ye Fan were admired by the chairman's grand goal. Wang Hai said sincerely: "It was a bit bleak at the beginning. Now, the goal is clear, and everyone is working hard towards this goal. Chairman, I believe , we will succeed."

"I look forward to this day very much. We will definitely shock the world again." Ye Fan was filled with emotion.

"The moon is ours, and no one can take it away. At that time, we will plant our company's flag in every corner of the moon, haha." Han Li couldn't help laughing, making everyone laugh.

Mu Yang smiled, just now when he finished drawing the cake, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "The guys from the Automotive Research Institute mentioned to me a rocket launch plan, and they want to launch a car to Mars."

Wang Hai knew about this and had communicated with Mu Yang.

Ye Fan and Han Li didn't know about it, but when Mu Yang said it, they were surprised.

Ye Fan asked: "Oh, what's the point of this?

The earth is not close to Mars. During the long interstellar flight, we will encounter very complicated situations. If the electronic system is not well protected, it will definitely be damaged. "

Mu Yang replied: "It's meaningful, there are some, they are advertising for the future 03 flying car, so they came to seek my opinion."

The car brands created by the company, Future 01 and Future 02, are limited to 100 vehicles per year, with a minimum price of 20 million yuan.

It has been on the market for several years and has become the world's top car brand.

Now, the Automobile Research Institute has designed a future 03 new energy car, which is intended to be applied in smart cities.

The new battery researched by the group has made a major breakthrough. In addition, the company has done a good job in the flight balance system. The level of intelligent driving has been raised to LV3, which is not far from LV4. There are also major breakthroughs in the chip, and a major breakthrough in the lift fan technology, etc. , I feel that the flying car technology is relatively mature.

Launching a car to Mars reminded Mu Yang that Musk’s space company had done this in 2018 in his previous life, and it really made Tesla angry.

In this generation, Tesla was influenced by Mu Yang, and its development trajectory is completely different from the previous life. I don’t know if Musk will launch a sports car into space.

Now, Yi Qingchen, the technical manager of the Automobile Research Institute, mentioned this suggestion to Mu Yang, which reminded Mu Yang of the matter of Musk in his previous life.

Mu Yang thinks he can play it, it won't cost much, but it will play a big role in advertising, so he can use it to promote the flying car Future 03.

"If it's just for advertising, that's fine.

But if you really want to launch to Mars, you may encounter many problems that we cannot predict. "Ye Fan roughly analyzed it, and was a little puzzled, "Chairman, I need to confirm, is this plan for real, or is it a random mess, just for publicity?" "

If you really want to launch to Mars, you need to do too much work. At present, each team has a lot of work and will deploy a lot of manpower.

He must understand the company's strategic planning and goals, so as not to get the general direction wrong.

"We haven't reached that point yet, so we don't need to put too much energy into it, and it doesn't make much sense." Mu Yang said, "With our current technology, it's not difficult to launch the spacecraft to Mars, but what's the point?

We have limited energy and manpower, so we should do the basic work well first, and there is no need to take big steps to do things that are unattainable.

Let's talk about Mars after landing on the moon. "

"Okay, then I understand, set up a team and try to complete it within three months."

Ye Fan nodded to express his understanding, and after the meeting was over, he began to set up a Mars project team.

The chairman's words made him feel that he had a deeper understanding of the company's future development.

After half an hour, the meeting will end.

Mu Yang watched the three subordinates leave, looking forward to the task just assigned.
