Movie black technology

Others at the meeting also knew about this situation, and now hearing He Wei's words, they still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Judging from the current situation, the country's deep space exploration will definitely move closer to electric propulsion in the future, and the investment in chemical rockets should gradually decrease.

Even speaking absolutely, no rocket research and development projects may be approved in the future, and the batch of rockets currently under development may be the last batch of chemical rockets.

Among the people present here, either they study chemical rockets, or they have a deep relationship with chemical rockets. They have worried and looked forward to this big guy tens of meters long...

It is really uncomfortable to suddenly switch to a plasma thruster now.

But this is helpless, the changes brought about by the progress of the times and technology are irresistible.

Old Man Duan also knew the situation, "Okay, let's put aside the matter of landing on the moon for now. There are indeed changes to this plan, and I will tell you about it next."

He finally looked at God Chen.

Chen Shen stood up, "The situation of the Tibetan Antelope is not much, and there are still two spare machines in the workshop that can be assembled, and then we need to make some improvements to the Tibetan Antelope to increase its range."

No one felt that there was anything wrong, just like rocket launches usually have spare arrows, it is normal for Tibetan antelopes to have spare arrows.

And now that the actual operating data of the Tibetan antelope has been obtained, it is normal to carry out targeted transformation.

It's just that none of them thought how outrageous the so-called transformation Chen Shen said...

Mr. Duan knew the truth.

He knew that Chen Shen was going to install a nuclear reactor on the Tibetan antelope.

Chen Shen also knew that he knew that he was researching nuclear reactors.

Because the two met before at a seminar on the nuclear-powered Tibetan Antelope.

Old Man Duan chuckled, "Okay, in fact, let's take out all of our assets. Except for the Tibetan Antelope, there is still a gap between us and the other side. This is also within our expectations. Over the years, our spaceflight funds have been so low. There are many, and every penny is worth every penny, so if we want to win this competition, we can only work hard on the Tibetan antelope."

This is the core idea of ​​this style of play.

The current domestic chemical rockets are definitely lower than the opponents, but as long as they catch the Tibetan antelope, they will be sure to win.

"Mr. Duan, we all understand."

"Yes, we all support this decision."

Everyone responded one after another. We all know that Mr. Duan is doing their psychological work, so as not to make them awkward at this time because of the electric push and the route of the rocket.

Old Man Duan smiled heartily, "The first thing I want to tell you is the arrangement of the new moon landing plan."

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears.

"Originally, we had to wait for the first domestic super rocket to be successfully developed before choosing an opportunity to proceed. Logically speaking, we have to wait at least a few years."

"However, the current situation can't wait for a few years. With the attitude of throwing money at the moment, we may be able to return to the moon in two or three years, so we have to speed up our pace."

Everyone agrees with this view. After all, the opposite party has experience of landing on the moon, has experience and technology, and it is only a short time before returning to the moon.

Although the real goal of this space race is Mars, the side that wins the moon first can take advantage. If China can win the moon first, even if it loses in landing on Mars in the future, it can only be said that the opponent is slightly better.

As a developing country in China, it is already very good to be able to achieve this achievement in the face of developed countries.

Mr. Duan went on to say: "As for the new moon landing plan, the order I just received this morning is to rely on the Tibetan Antelope to speed up the pace and strive to send astronauts to the moon within a year."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked.

Even He Wei, the chief engineer of the lunar exploration project, is no exception.

"How is this possible? Didn't you say that the performance of the Tibetan Antelope was not enough?"

Although these chief engineers don't know the specific performance parameters, they still know the general situation of the Tibetan Antelope. After all, they are in the same system. Maybe someday the two projects will cooperate together.

Old Man Duan signaled everyone to calm down first, "The higher-ups have the confidence to make this decision, and the confidence lies in the improved Tibetan Antelope."

He looked at Chen Shen again.

"As we said before, the improvement of the Tibetan Antelope has now begun. According to the plan, we will install a miniature nuclear reactor on the spacecraft to power the spacecraft and extend its voyage. The voyage can also reach more than one million kilometers."

Everyone showed incredible expressions.

"This...is there any breakthrough in the current domestic nuclear technology?"

"Can you put the nuclear reactor of the Tibetan Antelope?"

"We still have this technology?"

The most cutting-edge nuclear reactor miniaturization that I have heard of in China before is probably Linglong No. 1. This thing can be put on a ship and used as a mobile power bank to provide electricity to coastal cities and islands.

But that was still installed on a big ship anyway!

How big is the Tibetan Antelope?

In a fuselage that is only more than ten meters long, is it necessary to fit a nuclear reactor and generate electricity?

How small does that nuclear reactor have to be to fit in it?

Old Man Duan still smiled cheerfully, as if he appreciated everyone's skeptical expressions, because he had just attended the seminar and had the same expression when he heard the news.

He said in Chen Shen's direction, "Master Chen, I, an old man, don't understand the matter of nuclear reactors. Why don't you explain to everyone whether it's possible or not?"

Chen Shen stood up, "Now the technical problems have been completely solved, and the project construction has been approved. If the progress goes well, the Tibetan Antelope will definitely be replaced with nuclear power within a year, so you can rest assured."

It is said to be one year, but considering that there is still time for the Tibetan Antelope to test the flight, so about nine months is actually the limit.

The astonishment on the faces of everyone has not disappeared at this time. Although rationally they believe that the current technology cannot develop a miniaturized nuclear reactor, they also rationally believed that plasma propulsion cannot fly in the atmosphere...

"Then according to the forecast, to what extent can the voyage of the nuclear-powered Tibetan antelope be extended, and can it reach Mars?" someone asked.

Chen Shen replied confidently: "The exact number is still uncertain, but I can be sure that the voyage in the atmosphere will be far more than one million kilometers. With a well-planned itinerary, there should be no problem going to Mars."
