Chapter 1065 Super Engineering
"Help?" Zhang Hao received the news of coming from space, and when he took a closer look, he was a little dumbfounded. The landing module was blown away by the strong wind, and the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched: "I can't laugh, because Dayang Group's landing module was also blown away."
However, compared with the Hunter and its landing module, Dayang Group's landing module is one-off, so there is no need to consider the issue of returning later. Moreover, Dayang Group dispatched robots, so there was no need to worry about life and death.
But obviously, the members of the Hunter are different, and they have to return.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao said: "Let the robot find their location first and establish a communication link. Then look at the actual situation."
"The fee..." the secretary asked cautiously.
"Tell Dugu Junjie, if it's just a simple positioning, we will earn a favor. But if we need our assistance...it depends on the situation, and we can at most send them the bill for our construction and launch of the Venus exploration rocket."
secretary:……
Zhang Hao patted the secretary on the shoulder, "You have to think about it this way, because of this rescue, we have delayed our plan to explore Venus, and it has also affected the development of Tianyuan Star civilization. They must make compensation!"
Secretary: ...I am even more speechless.
As a fresh graduate this year, Bai Fengshan, who was lucky to go through thousands of troops and was finally selected by Zhang Hao as his secretary, was under tremendous pressure while enjoying the envious eyes of others.
Every year, Beidou Academy selects one of the best graduates to become Zhang Hao's secretary for a period of one year, and then arranges him to a corresponding position according to his performance, ability, and Boss Zhang's personal preferences.
Just because of this, it is enough to make Beidou Academy the most famous institution in the world. Not to mention that the teaching ability of Beidou Academy itself is also the best.
A year later, some people will directly become the governor, some will enter the scientific research institution and become the project leader, and of course some will not be reused.
For example, the seniors from the previous class are now only in charge of the World Conference Center; by the way, this World Conference Center is the old one, in the old site of Dayang Group, which is the tiny place in the west of the Fertile Land Continent.
It is said that this senior brother was caught by Mr. Zhang for accepting bribes, which became the biggest joke in the history of Beidou Academy.
However, after a long time of contact, you will find that Mr. Zhang is actually quite dark-bellied! For example, this time, it is obviously to pass on the financial pressure of Dayang Group to study the Venus exploration rocket.
No wonder Zhang Hao insisted on launching the Hunter rocket in tandem at the beginning. It turned out that he was waiting for the other party here.
Also, the first time I explored Venus, it was just a manned landing, so it’s no wonder that there were no problems!
Bai Fengshan walked out, thinking at the same time; when he came to his small office, he immediately sent Zhang Hao's relevant reply to Dugu Junjie without a word.
Now, Dugu Junjie can be regarded as a high-spirited man, and he is the general manager of the space base and Shuguang jointly built by Dayang Group and ASEAN. As the bridgehead for the entire Tianyuan Star to enter space, the Shuguang base has a great influence on the current development of the entire space.
In other words, Dugu Junjie is now equivalent to the governor of the Space Division!
Of course, it is impossible for Dugu Junjie to have the final say. Dugu Junjie also has Shen Haiming under him, who is also directly responsible to Zhang Hao and the board of directors of Dayang Group; and the rest of the ASEAN countries also have their own representatives.
After Dugu Junjie received Zhang Hao's decision, he immediately gave an order to Shen Haiming, and Shen Haiming gave an order to the Venus project team, and soon the news spread to Fang Hanle in the outer space of Venus:
Dayang Group can rescue, and we will do our best to assist; however, rescue is not free, please confirm.
Fang Hanle had no choice but to confirm; five minutes later, Dayang Group's robot started to move, and searched for the crash site according to the coordinates provided by Fang Hanle.
Then just wait quietly. It's not clear how long it will take which robots to search for the target, but it's not likely to take a few days. With the cultivation of Shi Canghai and others, there is no problem at all for ten days and a half months.
…………
The Dayang Group simply focused on matters on Venus, and more energy, manpower, material and financial resources had been transferred to new projects: a series of space engineering constructions.
And the first project is Dayang Group's long-planned space cannon: the super rail gun.
In addition, there are space factories led by Dayang Group and participated by all parties in ASEAN, and of course space mining. After several years of planning, related technologies, etc., have finally matured.
And Zhang Hao, Dugu Junjie, and even the entire ASEAN are focusing on the space cannon. The space factory is of course important, but everyone knows the significance of the cannon better. To fight against the Red River civilization, powerful and unique space weapons are needed.
Powerful, needless to say, not strong enough to counter the threat of the Red River civilization.
And features are also important. This involves the defense of weapons.
According to the information translated from the Xuanhuang civilization, the main offensive weapons in the space of the Xuanhuang civilization are energy cannons (related to auras and formations), laser cannons, particle cannons, and some "super magic weapon" equipment; but these weapons may attack Powerful, but also relatively easy to defend.
In the later period, the Xuanhuang civilization seems to have developed technologies such as electromagnetic guns, but there is not much actual combat information. It can be speculated that this technology has not developed.
As for the Dayang Group, it came up with an electromagnetic rail gun.
Compared with those laser cannons, particle cannons, etc., railguns have many disadvantages: bulky, long energy storage time, slow flight speed, high cost, special projectiles are required, and the system is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, troublesome maintenance, etc.
But there is one feature that makes the railgun stand out, and that is: powerful and brutal destructive power! Kinetic energy that is so powerful that it is difficult to compete, and the limit of pure physics!
No matter what the defense is, once it is hit by the rail gun, you can only pray that your defense is strong enough. Because for the time being, there is no other way except to carry it hard.
Unlike attacks like lasers and particle techniques, some kind of defensive coating is enough.
Not long ago, Dayang Group's experimental rail gun tested on the ground achieved great success; so Dayang Group will now try to build a larger and more powerful starry sky cannon in space.
Even the drawings of the giant cannon have been circulated in a small area. In space, relevant personnel in ASEAN can basically see the drawings.
For example, Liu Xinhai, the prince of the Qixia Kingdom and Zhang Hao's eldest son, was lying in front of the blueprints and watching quietly, and then listened to the discussion next to him.
To build a star cannon, a strong engineering construction capability is required. At present, only Dayang Group's First Construction Group has such engineering construction capabilities.
The first construction group of Dayang Group was only formally established in the last five years; but its predecessor was Zhang Yueshan, the director of the Engineering Construction Department of Dayang Group. Bridge', Zhang Yueshan is in charge of.
Later, Zhang Yueshan was in charge of Dayang Group's port construction, urban planning, transportation planning covering the entire Morning Earth Continent, and even the construction planning of the space center. Zhang Yueshan's signature was even on the construction drawings of the Shuguang Space Base.
Dayang Group has too many talents, but it was rarely noticed by the outside world before; because everyone paid more attention to matters of practice.
It was only recently that the remaining parties finally took notice of these talents. When the Xuanhuang Group was unable to build a space center and could only rent the space base of the Dayang Group, everyone finally woke up.
But now, the technical design and drawing of the railgun are otherwise completed by Ge Dong and related researchers. But the specific construction and construction needs to be handed over to Zhang Yueshan and the First Construction Group.
With the help of Ge Dong and other scientific researchers, Zhang Yueshan led his technical team to discuss for half a month, and finally finalized the construction plan. At this time, the feasibility study drawings provided by Ge Dong and others have been changed beyond recognition.
The space environment is completely different from the ground environment. Gravity, magnetic field, temperature, equipment cooling methods, power supply methods, construction equipment and technology and environment, etc., all need to be carefully demonstrated.
Fortunately, Dayang Group's team has rich technology. Half a month later, the railgun project of the starry sky cannon level finally started.
Thanks to the fact that the Dawn space base itself is a fully functional space factory, the construction of rail guns is much simpler. But even if it is much simpler, the construction of the starry sky cannon is still the most challenging super project at present.
The first is the core component of the rail gun: the rail.
The guide rail is also a bracket. On the one hand, it needs to be the sliding track of the rail gun, and on the other hand, it is also the supporting structure of the coil; it also has magnetic requirements.
The design length of the star cannon is 80 kilometers; the design goal is to accelerate a special shell weighing 50 kilograms to a speed of 500 kilometers per second.
According to the demonstration of Dayang Group's technicians and military personnel, only when it reaches this speed can it be regarded as a starry sky weapon! Only at this speed can the enemy be unable to react.
In fact, the speed of 500 kilometers per second is still pitifully slow in the space environment. Thinking about the speed of light at 300,000 kilometers, it makes people feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts.
Half a month later, when the robot on Venus finally found Shi Canghai and the three of them, Zhang Hao had already arrived in space, and personally observed the craziest construction project in Dayang Group's history.
Standing in the void, surrounded by the Shuguang space base, Zhang Hao saw the magnificent scene of the construction.
The Dawn Space Base has reached the scale of a kilometer, and the height/thickness of the central body reaches 400 meters. It is a veritable space city. However, most of the city is made of steel, and 70% of the area belongs to the factory area!
At this time, the factory area is building the core component of the rail gun: the electromagnetic rail.
In order to achieve the magnetic levitation effect, the guide rail of the rail gun adopts a triangular structure, or a three-phase structure, which corresponds to Dayang Group's current main power generation technology and three-phase power technology, and can enhance the rail gun's ability to the limit.
However, doing so is extremely technically difficult. Compared with the double guide rail, the technical difficulty has increased by a whole order of magnitude.
But there are more benefits too. During the firing process of the railgun, the projectile is always suspended in the magnetic field without friction. The trajectory can even be slightly adjusted by the computer; as long as the magnetic field is strengthened in one aspect when the exit is approaching.
However, in order to produce such a nearly perfect rail gun, it needs deep industrial technology to support it. At this time in space, a technological feast has already begun.
The nano-tungsten steel powder sent from the ground is smelted in space; using the nano-cermet sintering technology developed by Dayang Group, it starts to cast guide rails little by little in the gravity-free environment of space.
The design length of the guide rail is 80 kilometers without splicing; and it is a hollow structure-of course a solid structure is better, but the cost is too high.
In space, the electromagnetic melting furnace driven by the nuclear power plant sinters tons of nano-tungsten steel powder under high temperature and high pressure, and finally forms a strange material with both ceramic and metal colors—nano-scale tungsten steel ceramics !
The metallic luster is cold, with the unique black-gray color of tungsten steel; while the luster of ceramics is similar to the luster of jade, moist and translucent.
The super pipe with a diameter of up to 50 meters and a wall thickness of 30 centimeters extends a little bit in space; there are laser measurement technology around it to ensure that the accuracy of the guide rail is controlled within 1mm. Because the magnetic levitation technology is used, the accuracy requirements of the guide rail can be slightly lower.
However, Zhang Hao quickly found Zhang Yueshan who was in charge of the project construction: 1mm accuracy may be enough, but we have to be strict with ourselves; so, under the condition that the construction period remains unchanged:
Every time the accuracy is increased by 1 wire, that is, 0.01 mm, the worker's salary will increase by 1%;
When the accuracy exceeds 0.1mm, the salary will increase by 2% for every 0.01mm increase in accuracy;
After exceeding 0.2 mm, the salary will increase by 3%, and so on. If the accuracy is greatly improved, the construction period can be extended;
Of course, if the accuracy is lower than 1mm, you will be fined 10% directly; if it is lower than 1.2mm, you will be fined 50%; if it is lower than 1.3mm, all relevant responsible persons will be replaced.
The sticks and carrots fell at the same time, and the enthusiasm of the staff was immediately mobilized.
The spaceship shuttles between the sky and the earth, transporting materials, and the staff are busy and cautious; in the silent space, countless people are sweating; from time to time, a laser brushes the surface of the guide rail, polishing the surface of the guide rail to an almost absolute perfection.
There are even technicians who directly touch the cooled rails with both hands. Human hands are the most sophisticated machines in the world, and trained people can feel the most subtle differences. Then, skilled workers will use kraft paper and ultra-fine tungsten steel powder to manually polish the guide rails a little bit.
The production of guide rails is very slow, mainly because the tungsten steel powder cannot keep up and the production process does not allow the slightest error. The railgun right now carries the hope of the entire Tianyuan Star.
But when everyone was still looking at Dayang Group's crazy project with shocking eyes, Zhang Hao's heart was twitching: he overestimated Dayang Group's production capacity.
At present, the new tungsten steel powder production line is still under construction, and it will take at least half a year to put into production; and the current production line and production technology, the cost price of tungsten steel powder produced is still very high!
The price of this nano-tungsten steel powder was once sold as a nano-level spiritual material, and the market price is calculated in grams; the highest market value is as high as 10 spiritual yuan per gram-this is because of the recent technological progress.
If Dayang Group uses it itself, of course it does not need such high-purity, but the cost price is about 10 yuan per gram. And if it is sent to space, the cost per gram is as high as 14 yuan. Counting the wages of the workers and various expenses, the actual cost of the rails of the star rail gun is as high as 16 yuan per gram.
The guide rail of the rail gun is 80 kilometers long, 50 meters in diameter, and 30 cm thick; there are raised fins inside the guide rail to strengthen it. The design mass of a guide rail is 24 million tons!
Based on the calculation of the cost of 16 yuan per gram, the cost of the rail gun this time is as high as 100 billion Lingyuan.
It is conceivable that Zhang Haoda's boss is bleeding from his heart. Fortunately, new technologies are making breakthroughs. The construction of the starry sky cannon this time has received a lot of support from all parties in ASEAN. Even the Xuanhuang Group and Hetu World have considerable support in order to obtain technology.
A super project, first of all, is also a super capital bonfire party - a grand event that burns money.
This continued for more than half a month, and when he saw that the project was progressing smoothly, Zhang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, in the current environment, technology is more important than wealth.
No, Zhang Hao is still heartbroken. The person in charge of the Asgard Space Base, Ao Qiushuang from Guanghan Palace, came here and asked for help again from the Shuguang Space Base: The 10 people trapped on Venus are in urgent need of rescue. . But now the only one with rescue technology is Dayang Group.
"Ten people? Isn't it three people?" Zhang Hao was dumbfounded, what were the other seven doing.
