Chapter 164 Tomorrow's Spaceship

If it is normal, no matter how effective the cancer inhibitor drug is, Lao Mi will not agree to exchange all the research data of Pfizer's three major pharmaceutical giants. It would be great to give at most part of it.

However, the market price of a technical commodity is not fixed, but changes with the changes in the market background.

When talking about cancer, humans around the world have heartfelt fear of cancer.

If there were no cancer inhibitor drugs, it would be fine. Everyone depends on their lives. If I die, you will die. But if the cancer inhibitor drugs appear, China is enjoying the radical treatment of cancer, but they cannot enjoy it...

People are crazy when they die, and no one can guide their emotions. The cancer patients in China and the families of patients will spontaneously attack the government for protests, which will cause great turmoil in the entire American society.

After all, their tradition is to put banners on the streets when you feel unhappy. Usually, they will put banners on environmental protection and animal protection, let alone things involving life.

So I grabbed this handle. On February 5th, the Gregorian calendar time came. Lu Yi and Li Yashan spent a few days extorting most mainstream countries. After leaving some third-world countries to Li Yashan for follow-up treatment, they then rushed to the aerospace industry base.

"The commander-in-chief, the large-scale detection instruments provided by Lao Mi and others have been sent here, our planet exploration instruments have also been in place, and the spacecraft launch plan is scheduled to be No. 14."

As soon as he got off the plane, Professor Su, who came to pick him up, was the latest situation of Lu Yi's Mars exploration plan. The document about Lu Yi taking office as commander-in-chief of the Mars exploration plan was issued two days ago. In the bloody plot, some people were dissatisfied with Lu Yi's commander-in-chief and did not appear.

First, Lu Yi's prestige and knowledge are qualified, and second, the main reason why this plan can be carried out is that the spacecraft transporting large exploration instruments to Mars are all private. What else do you dare to have?

"So quickly, the leader told me that the construction was completed in mid-February, so why was it planned to launch on the 14th?"

Lu Yi, who has been with Li Yashan these days, has not always paid attention to this matter. When he heard that he planned to launch on the 16th, he was a little surprised. I didn’t even see his own spacecraft, so you are planning to send it to heaven?

"Commander-in-chief, that's when the construction is completed and the three inspection tests are completed."

Professor Su smiled bitterly and explained: "The overall construction of the spacecraft has been completed. The inspection is being conducted to confirm whether there are any omissions in the design and construction of the spacecraft. If there is no problem, a test flight will be carried out.

After collecting data in one test flight, perform the second adjustment and improvement and then conduct the second test flight. About three test flights will be carried out. The altitude and difficulty of each test flight will be increased until it is completely confirmed that there is no problem.

If there is no problem, the test flight test process can be completed on about the 12th. It takes two days to arrange the detection equipment and then it can be officially launched."

"Then let's see how my spacecraft was caused by these engineers from the space base."

Hearing that his spacecraft had been built and was undergoing the final inspection, Lu Yi suddenly became interested and asked Professor Su to go back to the base immediately. He said quickly as he walked: "In addition, let other scientists in the project team be prepared. I will make sure to understand the details of the entire spacecraft landing plan later."

"yes."

Professor Su looked at Lu Yi's decisive and decisive look and couldn't help but think of some friends who had participated in the controllable nuclear fusion project in his mind. He said that Commander Lu did not regard himself as a human being, and he would not treat other scientists as a human being. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

When Lu Yi and Professor Su had just returned to the spacecraft manufacturing and inspection area of ​​the aerospace industry base, three scientists and engineers followed the large American detection equipment and instruments, were standing in the distance watching the engineers at the aerospace base conducting comprehensive inspection of the spacecraft, and at the same time, they made marvelous comments from time to time.

"Oh  God! Lu, I'm so happy to see you in reality. Is this exquisite little baby yours? It's simply amazing!"

When Lu Yi and Professor Su appeared, one of the American scientists immediately smiled happily, walked forward and opened their hands to give Lu Yi a hug.

"No, I don't like hugging men. Maybe Professor Hill, you can transplant your already bald hair and then go to Korea and Thailand to make a makeover. I might accept it."

Lu Yi quickly stopped and looked at Professor Hill and said in English in surprise: "How could the United States let you come this time? Nasa is gone?"

"We came with the detection instruments and equipment, otherwise you will not be able to use them accurately if you are not familiar with the instruments and equipment."

Professor Hill explained and then picked up a spaceship parameter table in his hand, pointed to the data above and exclaimed at Lu Yi: "Lu, is this spacecraft yours? The total mass of the spacecraft is 236.31 tons, but the engine thrust is as high as 236,000 kN, which is enough to send more than 13,000 tons of instruments and equipment to Mars. Is your Chinese aerospace engine so advanced?"

"If you look at the general introduction of the engine behind, you will understand that the thrust is very reasonable."

Lu Yi said that he looked at the spacecraft being inspected. His shape looked very similar to that of Kunpeng Fat Girl, but his belly was bigger. There were hidden engine nozzles on the side and two spacecrafts arranged in the lower abdomen.

Because the thermal expansion engine uses continuous work output, the original engine involved the use of superconducting graphene wires, and the magnetic field barrier limit can withstand up to 28,000 kN of thrust.

After replacing the metal hydrogen, without expanding the engine compartment and nozzle space, the thrust of the magnetic field strength increased after actual tests reached 24.5W kiloN. For safety, the actual output limit was limited to 23.6W kiloN.

"Can we support our flying Mars fly back and forth with only 50 tons of propulsion fluid only support us to fly back and forth?" Lu Yi looked for a while, turned his head and asked an engineer from an aerospace base next to him.

The initial spacecraft design was only 136 tons of mass, of which 20 tons were the mass of propulsion fluid. When I learned that I was going to Mars, the spacecraft designer changed the spacecraft design and added an additional large fuel silo to add 50 tons of propulsion fluid.

"Commander Lu, you underestimate the energy output of the nuclear fusion reactor and your thermal expansion engine that uses metal hydrogen as a superconducting coil. After landing on Mars and removing the detection instruments, the spacecraft will have no problem traveling to Uranus for another round."

The engineer at the space base said confidently: "The 70 tons of propulsion fluid is designed to complete the longest distance of Mars within 4 days with equipment and instruments loaded with 13,000 tons. If the carrying capacity is reduced, the spacecraft can land on any planet in the solar system and come back."

"The apogee of Mars is 400 million kilometers, and it takes one round trip within 4 days. The navigation speed must reach 2,500 kilometers per second. The spacecraft's protection ability is so strong? How much overload can the spacecraft's structure and materials withstand?"

Lu Yi was a little surprised to hear this data. The energy shield technology is still millions of miles away from humans. Nowadays, spacecraft rely on armor to resist the impact of space meteorites.

If the speed is really increased to 2500 kilometers per second, according to the kinetic energy formula Ek=mv^2/2, a 1 gram of tiny meteorite hits the spacecraft head-on at a relative speed of 2500 kilometers per second, and the bursting energy will be 3.1 billion joules, which is equivalent to the explosion of nearly 750 kilograms of TNT explosive.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of tiny meteorites in the space of about 1 gram in the galaxy. It is highly likely that they will hit two or three times by 100,000 kilometers. At the same time, there is a large amount of space dust in the galaxy. Although their mass is very small, it is also a major obstacle to the spacecraft when the speed increases to a certain level.

The protection problem is one aspect, and how much overload the spacecraft's materials and structural design can withstand is also a very important indicator.

This also determines whether the spacecraft can accelerate faster, and whether it can quickly avoid it when it is sailing at high speed.

Overload cannot be done. The spacecraft accelerates slowly and is unable to quickly dodge the obstacles ahead and bump into it. Or forcibly dodge it but directly tear the spacecraft apart due to excessive overload.

When he was a child, Lu Yi was very obsessed with mobile suits and liked the Gundam battles in cartoons. He went to his grandmother's house with his mother during the summer vacation and had to grab the remote control to watch. He was curious to ask his cousin who came back from college during the summer vacation if he could become a Gundam warrior when he grew up.

It just so happened that his cousin was robbed of the remote control because he was chasing the Legend of Sword and Fairy, so he was also a weirdo.

He took out the paper and pen, drew the diagram while cooperating with emotion, and used the phenomenon that the person who turned around in the car vividly explained to Xiao Luyi what inertial overload is and what rotation centrifugal force is, and then told Xiao Luyi that humans cannot become Gundam warriors, and that everyone on TV is lying.

Because the overload caused by sharp turns and changes at high speeds will exceed the limit of the human body, make people unconscious, and even squeeze and burst into pieces into a pile of flesh and bones...

That time my cousin's narration directly ruined Lu Yi's childhood and indirectly prompted him to choose the neurotic major of physics in college.

So now I hear that the spacecraft travels back and forth from Mars in four days and sails up to 2,500 kilometers per second. In addition to the protection of meteorite collisions, I also notice the problem of the spacecraft being overloaded.

Even if people are not required to carry people, the material and structural design must follow the basic laws of mechanics, and there will be an overload limit.

"The front of the spacecraft will use a layer of modular reactive armor that can be replaced by intelligent mechanically. The back of the reactive armor is made of high-strength titanium alloy and carbon fiber material. Such armor protection will be safe and sound as long as it does not hit a meteorite weighing dozens of kilograms.

If you really encounter a meteorite of more than ten kilograms, the spacecraft is equipped with high-precision long-range radar, and the intelligent system can identify it in advance for dodging."

The engineer at the space base explained: "As for the overload of the spacecraft, because we use the latest carbon composite materials, the toughness and strength of the materials have been greatly improved. With the latest spacecraft structural design, the maximum overload capacity can reach 72 G."

"72 G? 705.6 meters acceleration? Are our materials so good?"

Lu Yi frowned. The spacecraft is not a solid iron block, because the welding and connection of various internal components are also very high in precision. In terms of overload tolerance, it is really not as good as an ordinary air-to-air missile.

The overload of ordinary air-to-air missiles is only between 40 and 50G, but their own spacecraft can reach 72G? What materials are used to be so awesome.

"Tell me how much is my spacecraft cost?"

Lu Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. He didn't pay much attention to the specific manufacturing of the spacecraft, or he had never paid much attention to the money-spending matters, and only said that he should be the best.

"Well... the latest carbon composite materials used by the spacecraft have just entered the industrial mass production stage, so the material cost is quite high."

When he heard Lu Yi ask about the cost, the engineer at the aerospace base said a little embarrassedly: "Because this is the task arranged by the above, and Lu is commanding your spacecraft, so our manufacturing and labor costs are all exempted. For this way, the price of the instrument and the cost of a single computing device will cost about 38 billion yuan."

“Not counting nuclear reactors and engines?”

"This... doesn't count."

The engineer at the aerospace base saw that Lu Yi's face turned dark as soon as he finished speaking and quickly explained: "But I assure Commander Lu that this spacecraft is definitely worth the money, and the design and technology on it are definitely the world's top.

Even if you don’t use it for a long time, the large spacecraft in various countries has not been completed at this stage. You can fly space more than ten times with it in commercial operation. "

"You really don't feel sorry for spending my money."

Lu Yi rubbed his forehead with a headache. The previous space rocket spacecraft space stations and other funds were very strict. It can be imagined that these engineers have been holding back for a long time. This time, when they encountered this sucker, they couldn't help but roll. While spreading their knowledge and passion, the cost of the spacecraft was also rising...

It is so luxurious to build a spacecraft of more than 200 tons of mass with a weight of nearly 10 billion US dollars and RMB 60 billion.

"When will the spaceship be tested?"

Lu Yi didn't care about the cost of the spacecraft. If he really wanted to feel sorry for this, it was his capital boss Li Yashan who felt sorry for him. He guessed that after learning about this, he would scold him for making money.

Of course, just say that it is impossible to do anything. After all, the group will not lack money for cancer inhibitor drugs to be launched tomorrow.

If you really lack money, Lu Yi can apply to the higher authorities. I believe that a 10 billion or 100 billion yuan fund will come, even if you use public funds to conduct research without personal investment, it will be easy.

"It will take about twenty minutes to check the test and then the test flight will be conducted." The engineer who talked to Lu Yi asked about the progress and gave an answer.

"Then as soon as possible, let me see how this 60 billion guy flies."
Chapter completed!
