"We do not have enough experience or manpower to complete the design and manufacturing of space shuttles, and the planning of manned spaceflight and moon landings."

"I can lead people to solve technical problems, but the overall coordination of the aerospace field is not something I can handle."

Chang Huaxiang recovered from the shock and numbness and murmured: "No wonder you said half a year before..."

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xu Chuan and said firmly: "If the small nuclear fusion reactor and aerospace engine can meet the standards you planned, give me enough people, I am sure that in half a year, no, three

Lead people to complete the design of the space shuttle within the month!"

From the previous two years to the current three months, I have to say that the extent of this time reduction is simply unimaginable.

But this is not impossible to do.

Because compared to the traditional American space shuttle, the power system established with a miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactor and aerospace engine system has far less high requirements for spacecraft.

The traditional American space shuttle uses external solid thrusters and orbiters as propulsion methods, and uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel as energy.

The advantage is that the heat generated by the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen is extremely high, which can explode into a huge thrust, sending a spacecraft of hundreds of tons or even thousands of tons into space at extremely high acceleration.

But the advantages are also disadvantages.

Extremely high acceleration not only places extremely high demands on the physical fitness of astronauts, but also causes great damage to the space shuttle itself, especially the external insulation and other materials.

The direct cause of the Columbia space shuttle crash was that after the space shuttle was launched, the heat insulation tiles that fell off the surface of the external fuel tank hit the left wing of the space shuttle and formed a hole.

In terms of acceleration, electric propulsion will be outshined by liquid hydrogen and oxygen propulsion, but with the fusion reactor as the energy supply, the super endurance of this new space shuttle is not comparable to that of the traditional American space shuttle.

It can complete lift-off and high-altitude orbit integration at a relatively slow speed, which means that its requirements for spacecraft and even astronauts will not be so high.

In particular, the insulation materials and safety protection and other related components around the spacecraft have been reduced by more than one or two orders of magnitude.

Even after the technology matures, ordinary people without training will be able to take this new type of space shuttle to space.
