Chapter 751: Magic Modification of Changzheng 3B! Matrix Rocket!

Zhou Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the system in his mind.

Then immediately, "different approaches but similar results" was launched.

His perspective stretched back rapidly, as if he was tied to a cannonball, and he instantly reached the gray-white three-dimensional space formed by countless grids.

Compared with the dark sea of ​​"photographing cats and tigers", the material dust of "tracing back to the origin" is still the space he is most familiar with and feels the most stable.

"Please specify the corresponding engineering artifact."

A line of small words appeared in Zhou Rui's sight.

He silently recited his choice in his mind.

"The 'Long March 3B enhanced launch vehicle' (CZ-3B/E) has been selected."

The next moment, a scene of him coming into contact with the "target object" was played in the space, which was actually what he looked like in the outside world at this time.

At the top of the giant thing, he stretched out a palm to touch it.

Soon, with almost no delay, a full three-dimensional image of "Chang Sanyi" appeared in the gray space.

It can also be called a three-dimensional design drawing.

It has a total length of 58.73 meters, a maximum diameter of 5.6 meters, a weight of 458.97 tons, and a maximum carrying capacity of 4.9 tons. It has a three-stage rocket structure and four boosters.

The content is extremely detailed, and Zhou Rui can freely move the perspective to view every detail from all angles, even inside the rocket.

The spacecraft that many countries dream of appeared in front of Zhou Rui without reservation.

However, the original version is not what he needs. During this period of work, he has already gained insight into most of the techniques of "Chang Sanyi".

He is here to change things.

Zhou Rui took a "deep" breath and said, "Modify the current creation and install an intelligent adjustment thruster so that components other than the fairing have directional recovery capabilities, and can retrieve the existing design information in my mind."

"The host knowledge structure is being retrieved. After the retrieval is completed, it can be strengthened. This command will change the appearance and payload of 'this object'. Do you confirm?"

Zhou Rui: "Reduce the impact to the greatest extent, confirm."

It was also thanks to his down-to-earth work during this period that he had completed a lot of things, otherwise the system might not be willing to give him "magic changes."

Under the bottomless computing power of the system, within a breathless time, the rocket in front of him changed its appearance.

Zhou Rui even suspected that this breathing effort was due to the system's obsessive-compulsive disorder in order to fully display the "visual effect".

Otherwise, one "frame" refresh will be enough.

On the outside of each stage of the rocket, there are inlaid adjustable thrusters, and the design of "adjusting wind plates" is used.

The hollow metal structure, like a fly swatter, is scattered in the four directions of each stage of the rocket. It is retracted during launch and can participate in attitude adjustment during the fall.

It can be said that the thing in front of you has broken through the "rocket recovery" technology.

However, this is just the beginning.

"Transform the current creation to make its 'separate connectors' fully intelligent, make its fuel system intelligent, and make its internal equipment 'internally networked' to increase its service life and maximum thrust while keeping costs as low as possible. .”

Zhou Rui's instructions were like a short composition, but the system's response was still as long as one breath.

The lines of the rocket in front of him became more rounded and smooth.

The appearance is still within the traditional rocket shape, but the internal system has undergone many changes.

Now, this is a "smart rocket".

However, this is still not Zhou Rui's ultimate goal.

If it was only to this extent, there was no need for him to come in here, he could just do it outside.

He finally spoke out the last two instructions in the design.

"Transform the current creation so that it can adapt to the gravitational conditions of the 'lunar surface'."

“Transforming current creations so that they can adapt to smart industrial cluster manufacturing.”

This time, the shape of the rocket in front of me became completely weird.

The rocket technology of all countries today is of separate design.

That is to say, flying and throwing at the same time.

Why is this? Because when a part of the component runs out of fuel, this part becomes a burden on the "rocket".

Throwing it away can optimize the "push-to-weight ratio" as much as possible, making the speed faster and faster, and the weight smaller and smaller.

It can be said that the separated design is due to the energy efficiency of "fuel technology". Human beings have not yet mastered the fuel technology that allows them to fly without being thrown away and escape the gravity of the earth.

The fuel itself is the rocket's largest source of weight and volume requirements.

but! If the moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the earth's, there will be no atmosphere blocking the moon.

It would be so simple for a rocket to escape the gravitational constraints that it would stun people on earth.

Not only does it only require one-sixth of the "thrust", because the thrust demand is smaller, the fuel demand is also smaller, the fuel demand is smaller, and the equipment is smaller. The equipment is smaller and the weight is smaller.

The final thrust requirement is smaller.

So: the smaller the thrust, the smaller the thrust.

To send things to the moon, you need to use hundreds of tons of behemoths and burn hundreds of tons of fuel. But to send things from the moon back to the earth, you only need to provide a small thrust. After leaving the moon, you will be swept away by the earth. Gravity capture.

For example, the return capsule of Chang'e 5 in the previous life was 500 kilograms, which was equivalent to only more than 80 kilograms after landing on the moon.

Then it only needed 3,000 newtons of thrust to send itself back to Earth.

Just calculate the orbit and leave the rest to gravity.

Therefore, the greatest convenience of the "Moon Colonization Project" is not to send things to the moon.

Instead, send things from the moon.

On Earth, rely on rocket recovery technology to reduce payload costs.

On the moon, use "mechanical intelligence" and gravitational conditions to build material circulation.

Only by grasping both hands and being strong in both hands can a two-way "Earth-Moon Channel" be built.

This will directly affect the value and practical significance of the "Moon Colonization Plan".

In the white space, the rocket in front of you has shrunk to less than one-tenth of its size.

And it is no longer a separate design, but a whole.

The most interesting thing is that there is no need to consider "air resistance".

It has become a.

Cube.

Yes, a cube with a side length of about four meters.

It can't be said to be weird. It can only be said to be far from the spectrum!

However, Zhou Rui thought about it carefully and understood the choice of the system.

The cube can save materials, has excellent structural strength, and greatly reduces the difficulty of manufacturing intelligent industrial clusters, making it more convenient to arrange and store.

On Earth, flying a brick is better than flying it.

But on the moon, this is very reasonable!

When they are arranged one by one, like a matrix, it must be very exciting.

The most outrageous thing is that its load capacity is equivalent to that of the Long March 3B. About four tons.

It is highly intelligent, with an internal network of 112 intelligent nodes, can adjust its posture in the air, can land on the moon for recovery, and can be manufactured in a modular manner.

Zhou Rui is satisfied with it.

Let's call it a matrix rocket for now.

For a moment, I can't think of any Chinese mythology that can be associated with this image.

The name "Wu Gang" was used too early... How "gang"!

If this thing is finally made on the moon, it will have the ability to transport it from the moon to the earth in batches and at a low price.

Although the fuel on the moon has to be transported from the earth, it is still cost-effective.

Because the things transported back from the moon are much more expensive than the fuel.

Even, be a little bolder.

Sending four tons of meteorites in batches to the earth. Is this considered a "moon-based weapon"?

Zhou Rui looked it over inside and out.

Good design! It suits my taste very well.

However

I choose to get it for free!

I got this design idea, but the difficulty does not exceed its limit, and the workload can be handled manually.

Memorizing the whole map~It's just a little troublesome, come back often, re-enter the command, and brush it twice or three times.

Or brush it twenty times, thirty times

Anyway, as long as it is not finally confirmed, it will not consume this year's quota.

Successful to get it for free!

Goodbye!
