At this point, astronauts will not have any problems taking the lunar module to and from the command module. After all, the gravity of the moon is small, and the lunar module can easily fly into a synchronous orbit around the moon. In this regard, China has experienced more than 20 years of technology. The continuous exploration has already mastered a very mature technology, and it has not failed so far.

For a mission of the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft, the astronauts stayed on the surface of the moon for a total of more than 30 days, plus the round-trip time, experiments on the spacecraft in orbit around the moon, etc., the overall "Chang'e 2" spacecraft will be within the range of the moon. It will take 35 days before it will officially set sail and return to Earth.

Qin Yuanqing also heaved a sigh of relief, everything was according to plan, and nothing happened.He can also relax, and then wait for the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft to set sail and return to Earth in more than a month.

Qin Yuanqing came to Chang'an. At this time, in the first half of the assembly plant, the "Shenlong" aerospace plane K1 stayed there, full of aesthetic feeling, the beauty of the lines made people can't help being attracted at first glance, and then became obsessed with it.

The "Shenlong" aerospace plane will be China's standard space combat aircraft in the next 30 years, with two missions, one is to defend the construction of the "Shuanghuan Space Station", and the other is to become a carrier-based aircraft of the "Shuanghuan Space Station", which can depart at any time. Enter the atmosphere from space and launch an attack on the target.

Another point is that the "Shenlong" aerospace plane will also take on the task of training astronauts, train more astronauts to enter space, drive the "Shenlong" aerospace plane, and lay the foundation for the next "Space Force". Astronauts, not 'Space Force' at all.

At this time, the second "Shenlong Aerospace Plane" K2 also officially entered the construction process. During the construction process of the first plane, a set of construction procedures and management system was explored, which made the construction speed of the second plane significantly accelerated.

"Deputy Commander Yang, how is the construction of the transport-type aerospace plane?" Qin Yuanqing asked about the construction of the transport-type aerospace plane.

In addition to the standard combat aerospace aircraft, the 300-ton transport aerospace aircraft has also entered the construction process.

"Commander, the construction of the transport-type aerospace plane officially started half a month ago, and I will personally watch over it. The construction of the standard aerospace plane has been handed over to Chief Engineer Gu!" Yang Yue said: "It is estimated that by 2031 , the transport aerospace aircraft can be completed.”

"Now there is a problem. I am very worried that material production and device production will not be able to keep up. If so, the production progress will be greatly affected." Yang Yue expressed concern about this.

After all, the materials used in aerospace aircraft are all new materials, which are not as good as cabbage. For example, titanium alloys, tungsten alloys, composite materials, graphene materials, etc. are applied, and the output is very limited.

A 50-ton standard combat aerospace aircraft consumes a lot of new materials, while a 300-ton transport aerospace aircraft is much larger than a combat aerospace aircraft. The gap between fighter jets and strategic transport aircraft is as huge.The new materials needed for transport aerospace aircraft will naturally be much more.

This is the 300-ton transport aerospace plane, and it will be even more exaggerated when it comes to the 500-ton transport aerospace plane! The cost budget for a 300-ton transport-type aerospace plane is 300 billion yuan, and the cost budget for a 500-ton-class transport-type aerospace plane is 700 billion yuan, both of which far exceed combat-type aerospace planes.

"Don't worry about this. With the previous accumulation, the production of new materials will increase sharply in the future. That will be a ten-fold or a hundred-fold increase." Qin Yuanqing waved his hand and said with a faint smile.

New materials, as one of the symbols of the fourth industrial revolution, have also achieved breakthroughs here in Huaxia. Driven by the three century-old projects of 'Golden Crow Project', 'Anti-Gravity Technology' and 'Shuanghuan Space Station', for new materials The demand is very strong, and there is no cost saving in this regard. The most important thing is to spend money, relying on spending money to forcibly produce technology and produce production lines.

The power of capital is strong enough!

Even if it is national capital, it is the same!

This has resulted in the field of new materials springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. Both state-owned enterprises and private enterprises are willing to spend money in the field of new materials. Even if the money invested is lost, policies and support can be recovered from other aspects. .

The technology has been developed, and there is a huge demand. When the supply exceeds the demand, the new material companies are constantly smashing the production line and production capacity, which makes the production capacity start to rise continuously.

Otherwise, it is impossible to start building transport aerospace planes at this time.

But in general, new materials in the aerospace field are mainly manufactured by state-owned enterprises, supplemented by private enterprises, because the quality control of new materials in the aerospace field is very strict, and there are various strict access qualifications Therefore, there are always a small number of private enterprises that can get qualified from competitors.

"I'm relieved!" Yang Yue nodded. As the deputy commander, his duty is to be in charge of aerospace aircraft, so his attention is also focused on the manufacture of aerospace aircraft, but he is not very familiar with the domestic related industrial chain. clear.

But Qin Yuanqing is different, regardless of the previous 'Golden Crow Project', or 'Anti-Gravity Technology', or the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' that is officially entering the high-speed forward period, Qin Yuanqing always wants to look at the whole country, even the whole world, A lot of technologies have come out, and Qin Yuanqing has to be behind the scenes, promoting the industrialization of technologies, and spawning new companies to produce. After all, things always need people to do things, and it’s not enough to rely on state-owned enterprises, because state-owned enterprises also have their flaws. The old problems have always existed.

Even some business-minded students were driven by Qin Yuanqing to start a company, just to introduce catfish, play a catfish effect, and promote the development of the industry.

In the past few years, despite the sluggish world economy, China's economy has been able to develop at a high speed, maintaining a high growth rate of 8%. In addition to the pull of controllable nuclear fusion, a very important reason is the rise of emerging industries, which have become economic development. Emerging industries such as quantum computer, artificial intelligence, new energy, graphene, holographic projection technology, quantum information technology, virtual reality, and new material technology have created a large number of new giants and created more jobs. .

For example, this virtual reality was first applied in the training of astronauts and pilots to simulate the real situation, to train astronauts and pilots, and then it gradually entered civilian use, which gave birth to new applications. Every shopping mall has a virtual reality experience. Museum, as well as game development, allows players to play games in virtual reality, as if reborn in a new world.

"These test pilots are very hardworking. Most of them are on the aerospace plane. They eat and live on the aerospace plane to get familiar with every button and every function." Yang Yue and Qin Yuanqing came to the spiral staircase of the aerospace plane , couldn't help but praise the test flight team.

Qin Yuanqing smiled.

It is difficult to find such excellent Chinese astronauts all over the world, especially this group of young astronauts. Everyone's physical fitness and technical skills are far superior to their predecessors. They are young and most receptive New things.

In fact, with the automation, the operation of the aircraft is becoming more and more simple, and many of them are automated. For example, during the flight of the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft, most of the time is in the automatic flight mode according to the preset procedures. .

The automation and intelligence of aerospace planes are higher, equipped with quantum computers and artificial intelligence, making its driving much simpler than traditional fighter jets, transport planes, and bombers, and even the cockpit is in flight, because it has The anti-gravity device makes the pilot not feel the feeling of overweight or weightlessness, and the pressure on the body is naturally greatly reduced.

If it were not allowed, Qin Yuanqing would have wanted to fly an aerospace plane to space by himself, look at the earth and the starry sky in person in space.

"Commander!" When Qin Yuanqing and Yang Yue entered the aerospace plane, Yang Fang and the astronauts saluted Qin Yuanqing in unison.

"Everyone has worked hard!" Qin Yuanqing looked at this group of young people in their 20s, and also saluted.

Before he knew it, he was already a 38-year-old middle-aged uncle. Although the years seemed to have left no traces on him, Qin Yuanqing still felt that he was really old. The students he once led set foot on their own roads one by one. I went to work alone.

And the former post-00s also stepped out of society and gradually became the middle force of society.Even post-10s have already stepped out of society.

Years make people old!
But if these back waves want to slap him to death on the beach, it's still too early!
At least for now, no matter which field, there is no young scientist who interests Qin Yuanqing.

"How is it, are you familiar with it?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, we are already familiar with the 'Shenlong' aerospace aircraft, and we will be able to complete the mission if we do the first flight at any time!" As the head of the test flight team, Yang Fang replied firmly and forcefully.

The first flight of the "Shenlong" aerospace plane has been set. It will be February 2028, 2. This day happens to be the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. We present a unique Lantern Festival gift to the people of the whole country to celebrate the Lantern Festival together. .

At that time, CNSA will also hold a press conference to officially announce that the third manned moon landing will be held on January 2030, 1, and the spacecraft for the third manned moon landing will no longer be the "Chang'e" spacecraft , but by the 'Dragon' aerospace plane.

And this will also be the first time that the "Shenlong" aerospace plane will meet the people of the whole country, and it will also be the first time it will appear in front of the world, allowing people all over the world to see this epoch-making aerospace plane with their own eyes.

"Very good, I am looking forward to it. I look forward to seeing the successful first flight of the 'Shenlong' aerospace plane! Then I will personally hold a celebration party for you and invite you to drink celebration wine!" Qin Yuanqing said. For his fellow countryman, Qin Yuanqing is still very happy. Admired, the standard post-00s, is already a well-known aerospace hero in the world. I don’t know how many people regard her as their idol, and she doesn’t know how many young people they have influenced to enter the aerospace industry.

We visited the interior of the "Shenlong" aerospace plane together. Before Qin Yuanqing didn't walk in personally, he only looked at it through design drawings, models, holographic projection technology, and virtual reality technology, but today it was the first time to see it.

The "Shenlong" aerospace plane discarded all chemical fuels and corresponding engines, and all used plasma engines as engines, which freed up a lot of space for it.

The energy core is based on the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device' and the magnetic fluid generator set, which provide a steady stream of energy for the spacecraft.

Although the "Shenlong" space plane is expensive to manufacture, its operating cost is greatly reduced. Its fuel cost, the energy cost for one trip from the earth to the moon, is less than 10 yuan.

And this is also because Huaxia has continuously brought back helium 3 from the moon over the years, and helium 3 can be used as fuel, otherwise there is no way to achieve this miniaturization.

For the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion, helium 3 must be used as the fuel, which is not an option.

Qin Yuanqing once again checked the status of the entire "Shenlong" aerospace plane through the artificial intelligence "Kuafu" with Level 1 authority. So far, the "Shenlong" aerospace plane is in good condition without any problems.

After getting off the aerospace plane with Yang Yue, Qin Yuanqing and Yang Yue chatted about the manufacture of aerospace planes. In the next ten years, Huaxia will have 5 standard combat aerospace planes, 1 bomber type aerospace plane, 2 A 300-ton transport aerospace plane and a 1-ton transport aerospace plane. It can be said that the task of building an aerospace plane is very heavy.

The existing team of engineers is definitely not enough, and it is necessary to expand recruitment and adopt automated and intelligent production.

"Commander, is the first flight on the Lantern Festival too tight? Is it better to postpone it for a month or two?" Yang Yue hesitated for a while, but still said.

"There is only so much time, there is no delay! And the 'Shenlong' aerospace plane has not had any problems in the inspection during this period, we have to have confidence in it!" Qin Yuanqing said calmly: "If the first flight really fails, It can only be said that failure is the mother of success, but it cannot stop us from moving forward!"

Although Qin Yuanqing had great confidence in the 'Shenlong' aerospace plane, he was actually ready to accept the possibility of a failed first flight. After all, no one knew what accidents would happen to a brand new, epoch-making aerospace plane.

In the long river of time, there are many dangers in the first flight of the plane. No one can guarantee 100% safety and success, not even God!

The only thing they can do is to do their best to check carefully and ensure the status of the plane as much as possible, and the rest must be left to fate—fate!
In the past, Qin Yuanqing didn't believe in fate. He felt that fate was unfounded and unreliable. Because he pinned his hopes on something as empty as fate, he might as well work hard and believe in himself.

But when he was close to 40 years old, Qin Yuanqing felt that there really seemed to be a destiny in the dark, and a person's life was doomed from the beginning. For example, a short skater appeared on the sports field. In the beginning, he was prepared to be eliminated, but inexplicably, the players who were far ahead of him either fouled or fell down. This kind of scene happened again and again, even in the finals. Let him win directly. Gold medal at the Winter Olympics.

So, Qin Yuanqing has recently come to a deep understanding of a sentence - Do your best and obey the destiny!
Even Zhuge Kongming, who is as witty as a monster, still has to sigh with emotion that "man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation"!
Therefore, what people can do is to try their best to do what they want to do well. As for whether they can succeed, it depends on whether they have that luck.

If you're not lucky, it's useless no matter how well you do it!
"Prepare for the first flight. When the time comes, I will let me watch it soar and fly out of its era." Qin Yuanqing said.

Once the first flight of the "Shenlong" aerospace plane is successful, it will definitely be a sensation. This sensation will definitely exceed the first flight of the first fourth-generation aircraft F22 in the United States, and it will definitely surpass China's first manned spaceship. China's Shenzhou-[-] will also exceed the "Chang'e" spacecraft that was the first manned landing on the moon.

Because it represents a new era - the real arrival of the space age!

If it can be compared with it, it may be that the "Golden Crow Project" was successfully ignited for the first time!

And for this first flight work, as early as two years ago, all aspects of work have already started, even the brand new runway for the first flight has been built, and now it is waiting for the first flight!

"Deputy Commander Yang, be confident. We must have confidence in the products we have created with all our strength, and we must also believe that the test pilots are qualified for the first flight mission!" Qin Yuanqing said: "If we don't have confidence, how can we go to the next flight?" Let other people have faith in it."

After leaving the final assembly plant, we came to a larger final assembly plant. The 300-ton and 500-ton transport aerospace aircraft will be carried out here. It is said that the final assembly plant actually covers a very large area. Whether it is the steel structure of the final assembly plant or the equipment here, they are all at the international leading level. After all, the construction of aerospace aircraft is an ultra-high-precision job, and its precision far exceeds that of fighter jets, transport aircraft, and bombers, even if it is a The construction requirements of the Phantom's strategic bomber are much inferior to those of the aerospace plane.

At this time, there were not too many people in the assembly plant, only a hundred.

"This final assembly plant can complete the manufacturing of a 500-ton transport aerospace aircraft!" Yang Yue introduced.

As for the industrial chain involved, there are as many as several thousand, and the components are produced in other companies, and then assembled in some places, such as gangways, such as pulleys, such as miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device', 'anti-gravity device', Quantum computers, etc., are built and transported here for final assembly.

Aerospace aircraft manufacturing includes the manufacture of body parts, component assembly, and complete machine assembly. In this final assembly plant, the final complete machine assembly is completed, and the construction cost of such a final assembly plant is tens of billions.

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. He knew that the next 300-ton and 500-ton transport-type aerospace aircraft will be assembled here, and the 150-ton bomber-type aerospace aircraft will also be assembled here. It is the most advanced assembly plant in the world.
