Chapter 594 'Returner' Spaceship

Xiao Sa then asked some questions, not limited to mathematics or physics. Qin Yuanqing also made simple statements in plain language for the parts that could be answered.

It took an hour for the interview to be considered complete.

After the interview is completed, it does not mean that it can be played, and it needs to be edited. After the editing is completed, it needs to be shown to Qin Yuanqing. After Qin Yuanqing feels that there is no problem and agrees to sign, the interview of this issue can be played.

Due to the change of schedule, Qin Yuanqing participated in the 7-day World Congress of Mathematicians, which made Qin Yuanqing's schedule busy afterwards, so as to ensure that this year's work can be completed in order.

For example, the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device' has been officially built and has entered the testing process to ensure that this 'Golden Crow Device' can still provide a steady stream of energy after being miniaturized. Unlike the 'Golden Crow Device' of the fusion nuclear power plant, miniaturization is better. The fuel used by the "Golden Crow Device" is helium 3, which is mined from the surface of the moon, and some helium 3 refined on the earth is used as a supplement.

On average, every two months, a probe goes to the moon base, returns to the "Tiangong" space station in earth orbit with helium-3, and is then brought back by astronauts when they return to the earth's surface.

In the future, after the aerospace aircraft enters service, the cost of this fast will be greatly reduced. Relying on the rocket launch mode in a short period of time, even with rocket recycling technology, the overall cost is still relatively high.

The test location of the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device' was carried out directly in the space center to test the stability and safety of the 'Golden Crow Device', as well as to carry out a certain degree of control and deployment. After all, the first aerospace aircraft, the actual It does not require such a large energy output, which requires a control valve to control fuel combustion to save fuel and cause unnecessary waste.

The stability and safety of the device is also the top priority. After all, the most important thing for an aerospace aircraft is the energy core, which provides the energy for the entire aerospace aircraft, including the avionics system, including the anti-gravity device, including Plasma engines, their energy comes from the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device'.

The miniaturized magnetic fluid generator set is also installed in a 1:1 size aerospace aircraft model for testing under various conditions. The entire test will take almost half a year.

Not only the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device', the magnetic fluid generator set, but also the plasma engine and anti-gravity technology have been completed and entered the testing and inspection process. Specialized technical teams have been deployed around them, and sometimes even in order to obtain A set of experimental data, it is normal to do experiments all night until dawn.

Qin Yuanqing also became like an expert in the air, constantly flying around, participating in the entire test session, and finding problems in time to solve them.

For example, after the miniaturization of the energy output control system of the 'Golden Crow Device', Qin Yuanqing personally wrote a program to control it.

The aerospace plane is sprayed on the whole machine, and the avionics system is also installed according to the design. It can be said that it only needs to wait for the test of several core components to be installed on the space plane, and then the whole machine can be inspected.

On December 2026, 12, the eyes of the world are not focused on Christmas, but on the Cape Canaveral launch site in the United States, because this Christmas, the United States will launch a super heavy rocket to send the "returner" spacecraft Embarking on a trip to the moon, unlike the previous launch of the "Pathfinder" probe, this time the "Returner" spacecraft is going to perform a manned moon landing. There are a total of four astronauts who spent time on the earth. After Christmas Eve, we will bid farewell to our confidence on Christmas Day and embark on a journey to the moon.

There are two main space launch centers in the United States, one is the Cape Canaveral launch site and the other is Vandenberg Air Force Base.The Cape Canaveral launch site is located on the east coast, Florida Cape Canaveral is located at Vandenberg Air Force Base on the west coast, California
The Cape Canaveral launch site is located between Jacksonville and Miami. It is a relatively remote place, sparsely populated, convenient for security, and has good natural conditions.The launch site has a low dimension, and launching rockets eastward can take advantage of the additional speed of the earth's rotation, which is helpful for the spacecraft to enter orbit.

The launch site was kicked out in June 1947, and an A-6/WAC lower rocket was launched for the first time in 1950. Since then, it has carried out many launch work, including the Atlas rocket Hercules rocket Atlas- Akina Rocket, Scout Rocket, Saturn 4 Rocket, Saturn 5B Rocket and other spacecraft launch missions from Cape Ca, including all launch missions to geosynchronous orbit in the United States. Apollo spacecraft, Skylab, and unmanned planets have also been launched from here. and interplanetary probes, scientific weather communications satellites, etc.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Cape Ca is an important base for the pre-flight test, final assembly and launch of manned and unmanned spacecraft of the United States Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Qin Yuanqing was also watching the video in the CNSA central building. CNSA also attached great importance to the manned moon landing in the United States. More than 200 experts in the aerospace field watched the live video in the conference room this time.

This time the US launch was not kept secret, but made public, so the world's major media rushed to the scene, satellites in the sky, scientific research ships at sea, and scientific research stations on the ground were mobilized to keep an eye on it. Kajiao, observing NASA's launch mission.

As the time draws closer, the astronauts who landed on the moon this time began to set off. Unlike the seriousness and solemnity of the Chinese astronauts' departure ceremony, the NASA astronauts are full of optimism, and they are constantly looking towards the people around them. Waved, and even the female astronauts blew kisses.

Astronauts entering the spacecraft also means that the launch mission has entered the countdown, and the time continues to pass, and finally ushered in the 1-minute countdown.

“60、59、585、4、3、2、1！”

"ignition!"

I saw the BFR rocket ignited and made a fierce sound, showing the powerful thrust of the BFR launch vehicle. Under the strong thrust of the BFR rocket, it began to lift off!

At this moment, I don’t know how many people are praying in their hearts, the BFR rocket turned into a huge fireball, and once again enjoyed the grand fireworks.

The human heart is always so full of darkness and danger!
But it can also reflect a truth from it, that what is right is more helpful than what is wrong!If you do too many crimes, you will be filled with resentment and always be cursed.

Unfortunately, this time the BFR rocket was successfully launched and did not turn into a ball of fire.

Throughout the United States, countless people cheered and celebrated.

Next, the "returner" spacecraft will first move around the earth orbit and accelerate, and after accelerating to a certain speed, it will enter the earth-moon migration orbit and start a long journey to the moon.

In space, Huaxia's satellites in orbit around the earth, between the orbits of the earth and the moon, and orbits around the moon are all aimed at the "returner" spacecraft, and they have paid high attention to the "returner" spacecraft this time.

Qin Yuanqing did not stay at the CNSA center all the time, but returned home. Regardless of Qin Yuanqing, he also paid close attention to the "Reentrant" spacecraft. When the "Reentrant" spacecraft chose the angle of entry, Qin Yuanqing knew the Earth-Moon migration orbit chosen by NASA. One, I also understand that this time the 'returner' spacecraft is still using chemical propulsion instead of combining electric propulsion.

Qin Yuanqing had to admit that the technology of the BFR rocket standing on the shoulders of giants has indeed reached a certain level.

It's just that the communication technology is stuck and delayed as always, making Qin Yuanqing, who is used to the smooth communication system, frown and puzzled.

It stands to reason that with the communication technology of the United States, it may not be able to achieve the smooth communication of Huaxia, but at least it can guarantee a communication delay of about 1 to 2 seconds, but this delay is more than 3 seconds, even with the spaceship. The farther and farther away from the earth, the communication delay with the earth command center will be longer, even reaching the level of 5 seconds.

Don't look at this kind of delay, but it reflects the communication technology.

In fact, Qin Yuanqing did not know that NASA was also very helpless in the manned moon landing project, because they found that such a manned moon landing launch would cost 100 billion U.S. dollars. If they want to improve the communication level, at least it will increase About 20 billion US dollars, the asking price of those companies is not cheap!
However, NASA does not have enough funds, and cannot provide more money, so it can only make do with it!
This is purchasing power!

The cost is dozens of times that of China's manned moon landing, and the result seems to be even worse.

And there are many technologies that you can’t buy with money. For example, there was an expert who wanted to rent Huaxia’s Earth-Moon communication system. Unfortunately, even if the lease fee reached 1 million US dollars, CNSA didn’t agree. Promise, after all, it involves a lot of technology and secrets, how could it be possible to rent out the Earth-Moon communication system.

The "Returner" spacecraft entered the Earth-Moon migration orbit, and the news on the earth has spread to every corner, not only the news about the United States is flying all over the sky, various experts continue to appear on the program to give professional explanations, and open column introductions in newspapers.

Even in Huaxia, there are many big Vs introducing and popularizing it, and some people even cheered that the 'Aerospace Prosperity' is coming.

But only the insiders know that at this point, the project has only been completed a third or a quarter, and it is still too early to talk about success.

It's a pity that the media and self-media don't care about those for the sake of traffic, they just need to stir up and attract traffic.

As for other places, leave it to the authoritative experts, they only need to make money!
The focus of the past few days is destined to be on the 'Returner' spacecraft. Any popular TV series and movies are on such human feats, and they are crushed into slag, with no power to resist.

This is the influence of science and technology, and it is also the most attractive part of science and technology, and it also represents the enthusiasm of human beings for spaceflight and yearning for the stars and the sea!

Even if, Huaxia just completed the feat of manned moon landing not long ago!
But the feat of spaceflight has always been such a powerful charm that people will never get tired of it!
