Chapter 595: Half a Year(2/2)

But now it seems that the idea of ​​the person in front of me is still very good.

Smiling, Chang Huaxiang said: "Omitting the orbit adjustment during the moon landing or fire landing is very difficult to do on a traditional lunar exploration ship. After all, the traditional launch vehicle needs to complete the spaceflight after reaching the high orbit.

The unfolding of the device and other tasks.”

"But for the space shuttle, it is not unfeasible to save this step, or to shorten the orbit adjustment time."

"The space shuttle has many advantages over traditional spacecraft. It does not need to deploy additional solar panels, antennas and other equipment, which is enough to eliminate a large part of orbit adjustments."

"And more importantly, after the breakthrough of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology in your hand, energy is no longer a constraint for it."

"The huge size means that the space shuttle can carry more supplies, and sufficient energy can ensure that it can make adjustments even after it deviates from the orbit..."

Speaking of this, Xu Chuan also understood what Academician Chang Huaxiang meant. He thought deeply: "Just like an ordinary civil aviation aircraft, although the flight route is fixed at the beginning, it does not mean that it has no ability to modify the route.

Yes, that’s what you mean, right?”

Chang Huaxiang smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes!"

"Traditional spacecraft do not have such conditions because their design ideas do not follow this route, but the space shuttle does, and this is its advantage."

"Especially after the energy problem is solved, during space navigation, it can communicate and re-lock the target and direction at any time like an aircraft in the atmosphere."

After a pause, he continued: "However, this method may require relatively high computing power, especially if the orbit is adjusted in real time."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "This is no problem, just build a supercomputing center."

Hearing this, Chang Huaxiang's mouth moved, but he stopped talking.

He would like to ask if you know how much a supercomputing center costs? Even if it is a dedicated type, for aerospace, the price may exceed nine figures.

With this amount of money to build a supercomputing center, I am afraid it is enough to launch double-digit or even triple-digit satellites into the sky.

Even for the funds required to land a man on the moon, this is not a small number.

Is it really inhumane?

Xu Chuan didn't think much about it. The supercomputing center was really a trivial matter to him.

What's more, supercomputing centers are not disposable items. As time goes by and space missions increase, supercomputing centers will only become more cost-effective as they are used.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Academician Chang, you are an expert in the aerospace field. If I entrust you with the work related to the space shuttle, how long will it take to complete it?"

Hearing this question, Chang Huaxiang thought for a while and said: "Two years, within two years I can guarantee the completion of the production of at least one space shuttle."

"too long."

Xu Chuan shook his head. In two years, the day lilies have become cold.

Chang Huaxiang said helplessly: "This is already a very short time. We have not made much development on the space shuttle route. The relevant designs and ideas need to be adjusted repeatedly."

"In addition, there are some technologies on the space shuttle that need to be overcome, such as the outermost insulation tiles, as well as the manufacturing and assembly of parts and equipment, which all take time."

Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "Judging from the current situation, if we want to be the first to land on the moon before the United States returns to the moon, we have less than a year at most, or even only about half a year."
