Comeback 1992

In addition to fuel economy, there are safety features.

Civil aviation emphasizes two things, fuel economy and safety, among which safety is the most important.

Chapter 1007 Rocket

Xingfei Industry is developing a mainline aircraft Xinzhou C190. This mainline aircraft can carry 190 people. It has been approved for development since 2004.It has been five years now.

The engine that Han Songlin saw in front of him was specially developed for Xinzhou C190.

This engine is newly developed by Fuxing Aviation, named Dong-10.

The research and development cost of Dong-10 has always been quite high, and it is simply impossible for ordinary companies to bear it.

Of course, ordinary companies do not have this technology to develop Dong-10.

If Fuxing Aviation had not obtained a large amount of aviation technology and materials from Eastern Europe, it would not be able to do this by itself.

"Boss, after several years of research and development, the Dong-10 has finally come to the final step of testing on the machine."

The so-called on-board test is to install the engine on the aircraft for testing.

No matter how good the ground test data is, this air test is also indispensable.

The research and development of Dong-10 is a key project within Fuxing Hangfa, and the research and development funds have never been lacking, and as many applications as there are are approved.

Xinghai Group focuses on R&D talents, and Fuxing Aviation Development still has a period of talent shortage at the beginning, but as time goes by, the problem of R&D talents in Aviation Development has been solved.

Han Songlin looked at the engines being tested. There are a total of three engines being tested here.

It costs a lot of money just to consume fuel every day.

Over the years, these various tests have not stopped.

If it weren't for Tianheng Petrochemical in his hand, he really couldn't bear it.

"When will it be finalized?"

Luo Ping thought for a while: "If the test goes well, it will be ready for production next year."

Han Songlin nodded involuntarily.

The development of Xinzhou C190 is now stuck on the engine.

Now Xinzhou C190 is undergoing test flight, and another engine is in progress.

It's just that this is temporary, just waiting for the Dong-10 engine to be finalized and produced!

In this way, Xinzhou C190 will formally apply for the airworthiness certificate.

"That's right, it takes time."

After Han Songlin visited Fuxing Hangfa, he went to a new place.

Engines are also developed here, but it is not the development of automobile engines or aircraft engines.

Developed, is a rocket engine!

Yes, rocket engines.

And it is still developing a high-thrust rocket engine.

Although Huaguo doesn't use high-thrust rocket engines at this time, Huaguo will definitely need to use them in the foreseeable future.

Space station construction, lunar exploration, and Mars exploration programs will all use high-thrust rocket engines.

In addition to studying rocket engines, other engines are also studied here.

All are engines used in space.

For example, the Hall thruster.

Hall thrusters are used above the ground, the kind that definitely look useless.

After all, its thrust is too small, and the United States is the most advanced, with a thrust of only 5.4 N.

But if you go to outer space, the Hall thruster is very useful.

Here, Xinghai Exploration Co., Ltd. is a purely research-oriented company.

It was formally established in 2004. Before that, it belonged to the research laboratory of Star Academy.

Research on rocket engines is now a project that only loses money.

With an annual R&D investment of 30 billion yuan, there are naturally many results.

"Boss, this is our latest high-thrust rocket engine, with a thrust of 120 tons."

120 tons of thrust sounds pretty good.

Han Songlin asked curiously: "What is the engine thrust of the Saturn 5 rocket in the United States?"

Whether the technology is advanced or not can only be known through comparison.

There is no doubt that the Saturn 5 rocket is the most powerful rocket in the history of human spaceflight.

Even Americans can't make this rocket by themselves now.

The Saturn 5 rocket was designed and developed by Werner von Braun and his Hansland rocket team.

This man is absolutely a genius, known as the father of modern aerospace.

Facing Han Songlin's question, Tang Junhong, the chief designer of Xinghai Exploration, sighed, "The single thrust of the first-stage main engine reaches 6700-6909 kN."

In terms of conversion, the thrust has reached 683-704 tons.

The United States was able to develop such a powerful rocket engine in the 60s of the last century. To be honest, it was really too scary.

This gap is a bit big!

Of course, Han Songlin didn't think that the country of Mi was more powerful than the country of Hans.

Really, old cow.

So many talents have been taken away, and now they are still leading the world in industry.

This has to be convinced.

Han Songlin touched his chin: "What's the name of this engine?"

Tang Junhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Di Jiang!"

Emperor Jiang?Han Songlin thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Tang Junhong as if confirming it, to be sure that he had heard it right.

"This is called Dijiang, do you have any explanation?"

Tang Junhong smiled and said, "It was given by the young people in our team."

Han Songlin also laughed, young people, that's what they like.

It doesn't matter what the name is.

Han Songlin paid more attention to the follow-up research and development of rocket engines.

Now that he knows that there is a gap between him and others, Xinghai Exploration does not mean that he will rest on his laurels and stay where he is.

The development of a rocket engine with greater thrust is also underway.

A 300-ton thrust rocket is under development.

"We strive to develop a rocket engine with a thrust of 2025 tons by 600."

600 tons of rocket engines!

Han Songlin thought of the global situation in the next ten years, the mainstream will be the game between China and the United States.

First a tentative game, then a direct conflict, the third stage seems to die down, entering a new mutual competition.

Then, space competition is bound to become a direction.

Han Songlin nodded approvingly: "Very good!"

Who are you competing with?

Han Songlin really didn't think about this matter. His idea was very simple. To explore outer space, a high-thrust engine is essential.

He is also curious about the starry sky.

Tang Junhong waited for a while, seeing that Han Songlin had nothing else to say, she felt a little anxious in her heart.

"Well, Boss, if we want to study the follow-up rocket engine, our current strength alone is not enough."

Han Songlin thought for a while and said, "If someone wants money, you can file a report and the group will try their best to support it."

The research and development of rocket engines cannot just get money from Xinghai Group.

Xinghai Group's annual net profit is indeed a lot, but it can't afford to invest in such a bottomless pit.

Xinghai Group is already adjusting some projects, such as the research and development of basic technology, and now more funds are coming from the Star Science and Technology Award Fund.

Research and development of rocket engines can also be funded from the fund.

At this time, the amount of funds of the Star Science and Technology Award Fund is quite large. Tang Yan and Chen Xin, two rich women, are the largest donors of the Star Science and Technology Award Fund.

Chapter 1008 The Unseen Future

By the time I got home, it was already evening.Liu Yuyan was busy in the kitchen, and Tang Yan helped.

A few small dishes were quickly fried, and this dish was hard enough.

Sausage and bacon!

The sausage and bacon are produced by Tianmu Company, which is completely produced in accordance with the tradition of Sichuan.

This tastes delicious!

The family gathered around the table for dinner, and when Han Songlin talked about Xinghai exploration, Tang Yan said helplessly, "Uncle, do you really want to go to the moon to find Chang'e?"

Every year, the Xinghai Group invests 30 billion in Xinghai Exploration. As for the return?

Maybe until he dies, he won't be able to see the time when the exploration of the star sea will pay off.

Outer space exploration belongs to the future business, and it is impossible to obtain any monetary benefits now.

Liu Yuyan, Han Xuan, and Han Yufei all looked at Han Songlin. They didn't believe that there was Chang'e on the moon, it was just a legend.

Han Songlin: "With you all, what else would I look for Chang'e! Can she be as beautiful as you? Just kidding."

Tang Yan giggled, Liu Yuyan rolled her eyes at Han Songlin, and said angrily, "The children are still there!"

Han Yufei spread her hands: "Just pretend we don't exist."

Han Xuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are all used to it."

They are already immune to their frequent kibble behavior.

Han Xuan is now ten years old, and basically understands everything he should know.

Han Xuan set a small goal, to be like his father.

Han Songlin didn't care about the two little guys, but said: "The future of mankind is not on the earth. The earth cannot accommodate the future of mankind. We must go out of the earth and head towards the stars and sea."

Tang Yan said casually: "Everyone knows that the future of mankind is not on the earth. But, can mankind go out of the solar system?"

There are not only nine planets in the solar system, no, there are eight planets in the solar system now.

Many people may be subconsciously absolute, as long as the eighth planet Neptune orbits, it will leave the solar system.

In fact, this is wrong.

How big is the solar system?

With the advancement of human science and technology, the solar system known to people is gradually becoming larger.

For example, the limit of the sun's gravity: the Oort cloud.

This is the outermost layer that really belongs to the solar system, and humans know very little about it.

The Oort cloud has not even been actually observed.

Very "chilling" isn't it!

The size of the solar system is predicted to be 2 light-years in diameter.

2 light years, the solar system is much larger than human imagination.

2 light years in diameter and 1 light year in radius!

Starting from the earth and flying outwards, how long will it take to fly out of the solar system with the current technology?
