Movie black technology

As time goes by.

The scheduled time for the rocket launch is getting closer and closer.

The four astronauts who were interviewed are now in place.

But there are still cameras pointed at their faces, broadcasting their every move in front of the world.

Compared with the previous live broadcasts on the opposite side, this live broadcast is also very open.

Much of the footage that would otherwise have been classified has been released.

One is to prove one's own strength, and the other is that there is no need for too much secrecy.

After all, the rockets have been determined to be a dead end now. After finishing these big rockets, they will also squeeze into the new road of atmospheric plasma propulsion.

Facing the live camera, the four astronauts talked and laughed in the cabin, trying not to show too much tension.

From time to time, they joked with each other to ease the atmosphere.

In this deliberately created relaxed atmosphere, the time for the rocket launch will come soon.

The four astronauts first felt the trembling of the rocket, and then felt a great overload all over their bodies...

Chen Shen was on the opposite side of the earth, watching every detail of the rocket launch through the TV.

The SLS rocket engine is not a new product, but an engine stock prepared for the space shuttle in the last century.

It's just that the space shuttle was fully decommissioned before it was used up at that time, so now it is picked up for waste use.

The fuel used by this engine is liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, and even after several decades, these two fuels are still one of the best propellant combinations to date.

Of course, the blue blood fuel he had just prepared could not be counted.

Although the dozen or so models of blue blood fuel are not as good as those in the movie, they still have no problem crushing real rocket fuel.

The backward combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen has no advantage at all in front of blue blood fuel.

etc!

Backward combination?

Chen Shen suddenly felt that he had caught a glimmer of inspiration.

While he was meditating, rockets shot up from the live broadcast, and the foreign host shouted excitedly in English. His accent was too strong, and few people could understand what he was shouting.

In the shot, the rocket rises like a small sun.

Despite the progress of space exploration, there are still many people gathered outside the Kennedy Space Center.

Seeing the rocket lift off at this time, everyone shouted excitedly, and some even jumped up and waved flags.

While in Washington, the interim commander-in-chief was already sweating profusely on his forehead and palms as he watched the rising rockets in the camera.

He was praying silently in his heart.

If this rocket still blows up, then he must prepare for the retreat now.

He may, no, he must be the most unlucky grand commander in history.

The damned predecessor only took half of the blame and couldn't afford to retire early, leaving the biggest blame for him to bear.

That's hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the pollution that affects more than a dozen or twenty large, medium and small cities!

How could he handle it as a temporary worker?

"If it blows up... If it blows up, then I will resign immediately!"

The temporary commander-in-chief made a Buddha ceremony with his left hand, and drew a cross on his chest with his right hand, and he was still chanting "Praise Buddha", praying for the gods all over the sky to bless him.

In the midst of his various prayers, the rocket flew into the sky, and in just ten minutes, it had already left the atmosphere and entered the predetermined earth orbit.

While this made people breathe a sigh of relief, it also gripped people's hearts even more.

Because when the rocket was launched last time, it exploded at this stage.

In schools, hospitals, companies, and even in front of big screens in Times Square, everyone watched the live launch with bated breath.

Everyone clenched their fists, silently chanting the most true thoughts buried in their hearts.

It's just that everyone's ideas are not the same...

"Don't explode again!"

"Fry it, fry it! If you don't fry it, it will be too late!"

"King bomb!"

...

washington.

The interim commander watched the live broadcast and called Gray in Houston every two or three minutes, asking about the flight status of the rocket every time.

It's not just him who is worried, even among the people, even if the live broadcast is still on, rumors of the rocket exploding in space are still spreading everywhere.

Every second, people frantically swiped the screen in the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room, saying that the rocket had been detected to explode in outer space, and the picture played on the screen now was fake, just a special effect prepared from the beginning.

Although this incident is obviously false, due to the rocket's failure last time, many people saw that the wind in the comment area was in the same direction, and soon believed the statement in the comments.

Then he also asked the official to release the real picture.

When the space agency and the lunar landing plan team on the opposite side discovered this situation, they felt that the whole person was not well.

So much so that the opposite side had to let the four astronauts who were suffering from several G overloads in the cabin show up, interact with the ground and netizens in real time, and talk about their own feelings, which can be regarded as a special clarification of this matter.

Successful launch, all goes well!

The commander on the opposite side let go of the glass heart he was carrying, and the people also got a little comfort that was better than nothing.

Although the SLS moon landing obviously cannot keep up with the rhythm of the Tibetan antelope, at least they can still rank second in the world.

According to the original plan, the astronauts on the lunar landing spacecraft will fly to the moon through the earth-moon transfer orbit.

This is not something that can be achieved in a short while.

In the last century, Apollo flew nearly 76 hours on this journey.

Even today, the time-consuming of this journey has not been shortened for long, after all, it still takes a few days for the bullets to fly.

During the flight in the past few days, although the opposite party wanted to keep the live broadcast on, considering the technical equipment and the psychological endurance of the astronauts, the live broadcast was closed shortly after the spacecraft entered the earth-moon orbit.

The live broadcast of the moon landing on the opposite side is closed, but the domestic performance has just begun.

On the second day after the successful launch of the SLS, the third batch of domestic artificial wormhole test equipment was ready and all of them were installed on the spacecraft.

But this time it is no longer the Tibetan antelope, but the newly manufactured and served manta ray.

And it's a nuclear-powered version of the stingray!

The promotion of the electric push system in China has exceeded Chen Shen's imagination.

Prototypes of the nuclear-powered version of the stingray had begun long before the plasma-powered version made its first flight.

The result is almost followed by the normal version of the stingray.

Of course, a large part of the reason why this result came out so quickly is that the designers did not make any changes to the most important nuclear reactor.

Directly moved the reactor of the nuclear version of the Tibetan antelope into the devil ray.

The normal version of the devil ray has collected enough flight data to prove the reliability of the aerodynamic structure.

This led to today's nuclear-powered devil ray.

Compared with the normal version, the nuclear-powered version of the stingray is slightly larger and taller in size, but the weight is reduced.

The normal version of the devil ray has a wingspan of about 38 meters. The whole machine is nearly 80 meters long, 3 meters high, and weighs only 64 tons. It looks like a low-lying monster.

However, such a huge aircraft only has a load of six tons.

This is because most of the space and self-weight are occupied by the plasma energy system.

The nuclear-powered version of the Tibetan antelope has basically the same wingspan and length, and its height has risen to four meters.

Other figures have changed dramatically.

First of all, in terms of weight, because the Tibetan Antelope nuclear reactor used weighs only 16 tons, which is at least twice as light as the plasma energy system.

So much so that the weight of the nuclear version of the devil ray dived directly to forty-three tons.

If it only reaches this point, the load capacity of the nuclear version of the devil ray will eventually be fixed at about 30 tons.

It is slightly more than the eighteen tons of the Tibetan antelope, but it is not much more.

Still haven't fully utilized the advantages of horizontal take-off and landing.

Therefore, Chen Shen simply took a strong medicine——

He altered the blueprint for the nuclear version of the stingray, fitting it with a second plasma propulsion unit.

The thrust that can be provided by the two sets of propulsion units has suddenly increased to 141 tons, and the load capacity of the devil ray has also been greatly increased.

Because one set of plasma propulsion units can propel the spacecraft, the 70 tons of thrust provided by the second set of propulsion units is completely free.

The greater the free thrust, the greater the weight that can be carried.

After being strengthened, the nuclear version of the devil ray has a load capacity that soars to the level of 100 tons.

Absolutely the most powerful spaceship ever seen on Earth.

Compared with the soaring load, the sequelae brought about by the two sets of plasma propulsion units, such as the reduction of the cruising range of the nuclear reactor and the increase in the difficulty of propulsion maintenance, are not worth mentioning at all.

However, there is also a difficulty behind the scenery, that is, the current nuclear version of the devil ray has almost touched the ceiling of the atmospheric spacecraft.

Chen Shen received a proposal to continue to add nuclear reactors and propulsion units to the devil ray, and build a thousand-ton-class heavy-duty super spacecraft, but he finally rejected it.

Because relying on the crazy superposition of nuclear reactors and plasma propulsion units, it is extremely uneconomical to build a huge spaceship like a flying star on the earth.

The larger the spacecraft, the cost of maintenance requirements, system precision, and required system security will increase exponentially.

And the bigger the spaceship needs to pay when taking off and landing, the more energy it will use to resist the gravity of the earth.

Take the nuclear version of the devil ray as an example. Of the 141 tons of thrust, nearly one-third of the thrust is wasted on helping its own weight resist the gravity of the earth.

If you continue to expand the devil ray, its weight will continue to increase, and the cost it will pay in this regard will be even higher.

In addition, the cost of security maintenance and other aspects will increase exponentially.

So what if a spaceship with a load capacity of 1,000 tons is finally produced?

The current size of the devil ray is already big enough, even if a thousand-ton spaceship is three times its size, it is still a giant that has never been seen on the earth.

A large spacecraft with a length of 300 meters and a wingspan of nearly 100 meters wants to take off and land horizontally on the earth?

It's not impossible, but the various logistical preparations and safety measures behind it, even a high school student knows how difficult it is.

If you have that spare time, you might as well build a few more stingrays, or make a blue blood rocket.

Of course, it doesn't mean that thousand-ton spacecraft will no longer be built.

It's just that it should not be made on the earth, but should be made on other planets.

The thousand-ton spaceship that takes off and lands on the earth can be replaced by other planets and satellites with low gravity, and the load capacity can be doubled.

Just like taking Grandpa Mao to Southeast Asia to spend flowers, it is firm!

The public is no stranger to manta rays.

As early as last year, the "first flight" of the ordinary version of the devil ray was exposed in China, and everyone already knew that there was such a spaceship under development in China.

Although the nuclear version of the stingray was unveiled this time, the public still subconsciously believed that it was the stingray that flew for the first time last year, and at most it had some improvements.

Didn't expect the two stingrays to be completely different designs internally.

Because the miniature nuclear reactor of the Tibetan Antelope is still one of the top secrets in China.

So far, the outside world's speculation on the nuclear-powered Tibetan antelope is still at the point where it is believed that it uses the latest plasma energy.

It never occurred to anyone that a nuclear power reactor was powering the interior of the spacecraft.

In front of the nuclear version of the Devil Ray, the previous two nuclear versions of the Tibetan Antelope can almost be retired.

Hundreds of tons of experimental equipment were sent to the stingray, and then took off from the dedicated airport, and then the pilot drove the plasma thruster, braving the blue light all the way, saying whether it was fast or slow, and flew out of the atmosphere.

There is no live broadcast of the stingray flight process, only a few takeoff photos and takeoff clips specially released by the official.

But its takeoff still caused a stir around the world.

One hundred tons of lunar payload!

One delivery!

This level of interstellar projection capability has completely exceeded the imagination of other countries.

Compared with this devil ray, the so-called spaceship on the opposite side, which is still in the orbit of the earth and the moon at this time, is more like a narrow escape pod.

The opposite moon landing operation was like a firefly under the sun in the face of absolute strength, and it was overwhelmed by the devil fish all at once.

Gray, who was on duty at Kennedy, watched the news that the stingray was flying to the moon, and could only sit silently in his seat.

I really don't know what to say.

It's already numb!

It turned out that the moon landing had a good start, and everyone was very happy.

Who would have thought that the opponent would actually play this trick to get people's mentality? !

It is simply inappropriate!

In Washington, the interim commander-in-chief even smashed his desk.

He felt so unlucky.

I won't talk about the previous things, just talk about the deployment of the moon landing.

The news of the launch of the moon rocket has just been announced, and then the news of the monster's pregnancy comes.

On the eve of the rocket's launch, a courier was sent to the moon on the other side, and they pretended not to see it.

As a result, the rocket was launched successfully. Just as he was about to regain a little international reputation and restore a little bit of the country's image, another big move came from the other side.

I also know that everyone is tired of watching the Tibetan antelope, so I specially changed a spaceship!

In this way, the entire early stage of the moon landing plan was completely screwed up!

The only chance of redemption is that their astronauts behave better when they go to the moon.

but……

Who owns the moon now?

Ah, why is there no rich woman to take care of me!
