The Technology Tree of Xueba

The Science and Technology Committee of Xinghuo Science and Technology determined the development of the space shuttle project.

After the strategic goal was determined, each unit of Xinghuo Technology began to get busy.

Liu Jing led a team of experts to start designing the design drawings of the space shuttle according to the performance requirements of the space shuttle program.

The space shuttle went from a concept to an industrial product blueprint.

With the assistance of the powerful computing power of quantum computers, Liu Jing started the design from the function of an accessory.

It took him more than two months to draft tens of thousands of times, and finally designed a space shuttle that met the requirements.

The design of the space shuttle is completed, and the rest is handed over to the factory for machining.

Complex accessories made of high-density materials are handed over to the nuclear power plant for unified processing.

Xinghuo Technology's efficient intelligent industrial robots assemble parts made in nuclear power plants.

On January 25, 2026, Zhou Yu and Lu Jinming came to Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company. Today is when the space shuttle rolls off the assembly line.

Zhou Yu walked into the factory and saw the space shuttle parked in the huge factory building.

It has metallic gray skin and two huge wings in the shape of a swept wing.

On the two wings and the tail of the fuselage, there are thick particle electric propulsion engines installed.

Lu Jinming patted the wing of the space shuttle with his hands, and his excitement was beyond words.

He introduced slightly choked up: Mr. Zhou, we finally have this advanced space vehicle, which can now fly to the moon, and we humans can land on the moon again just around the corner.

There is no rush to land on the moon. We must first conduct a comprehensive test on the space shuttle. We must fully understand the space shuttle and train astronauts.

Without a year or two of preparation, there is no need for a moon landing.

The United States carried out moon landing activities, which were only the impact of the Cold War at that time. They wanted to demonstrate their huge strength in the aviation field.

They spent a lot of money to realize the Apollo moon landing program. Manned spaceflight activities have always been doubtful, but the Saturn V launch vehicle did send the Apollo spacecraft to the moon. The lunar soil brought back by the lunar rover cannot be deceived.

We, Spark Technology, do not need such a false name, but need real benefits.

Establishing a lunar base on the moon and collecting some mineral resources unique to the moon is what we need to do.

Zhou Yu wouldn't start clamoring to go to the moon just because the space shuttle was successfully manufactured.

The moon landing must bring considerable benefits before Xinghuo Technology will take the moon landing action.

When Lu Jinming heard Zhou Yu say this, he smiled, then changed the subject, and introduced the performance of the space shuttle to Zhou Yu.

The space shuttle we produced has a mass of 700 tons including the weight of its own equipment, plus particle batteries and enough fuel water.

If the space shuttle has sufficient load margin, for example, if a particle electric propulsion engine is damaged, it can return safely. The space shuttle has a payload of 800 tons.

It has about the same carrying capacity as the modified mass catapult, but the space shuttle has a high standard of protective cockpit, and it can transport astronauts.

Not only astronauts, but ordinary people with a little training can take the space shuttle.

We can also face high-end customers and develop space tourism projects.

The maximum speed of the space shuttle is 10 kilometers per second, and it can easily transport materials between the earth or the earth-moon system.

After Zhou Yu heard about the properties of the space shuttle, he nodded with a smile, and then asked Lu Jinming: I remember that today's goal is to test the space shuttle, a new industrial product, and no one can guarantee that it will have certain accidents.

If the space shuttle test is carried out rashly, accidents may happen to the space shuttle pilot.

Lu Jinming immediately replied: Mr. Zhou, we have already considered these situations, and now all space vehicles have the function of unmanned automatic driving.

We set up bionic robots on the space shuttle to collect the feelings of human beings when they experience the space shuttle.

The goal of the first test is only to verify the mechanical performance of the space shuttle. After we can confirm the safety of the space shuttle, we will let the astronauts experience the space shuttle.

Besides, our company has no astronauts at all now, and we can't let engineers go up to drive the space shuttle in person.

The space shuttle passed the detailed factory inspection by engineers, and the supervisor signed his name on the product qualification certificate. The space shuttle was pulled out of the production factory by the tractor.

The space shuttle stayed on the huge square of the industrial park, and the ground maintenance personnel began to charge and refuel the space shuttle.

Manager Lu, have you reported this test to the relevant departments? Don't let the country shoot it down as a UFO. Zhou Yu joked.

Of course he knew that Lu Jinming would never be so stupid. This kind of flying object without stealth function was a target in front of modern weapons.

Lu Jinming chuckled and said, Mr. Zhou, we have already communicated with the relevant state departments, and we can only test after obtaining approval.

Not only the country, but we have also notified other countries of this test through international organizations to prevent them from misjudging.

After Lu Jinming finished speaking, he used his smart device to call up the control program of the space shuttle.

The space shuttle is equipped with a quantum computer, and Xinghuo Technology's advanced artificial intelligence technology is used as a software program for the space shuttle.

[The space shuttle is undergoing self-inspection]

[The various modules of the space shuttle are normal, the power storage is 100%, and the fuel water storage is full. 】

[Space shuttle self-inspection completed, autopilot function activated, ready to complete the first flight test. 】

Lu Jinming looked at Zhou Yu and asked, Mr. Zhou, I'm going to start testing the space shuttle.

Let's start the test! Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk. Zhou Yu waved and ordered.

The space shuttle was ready to start the test, and the crowd around the space shuttle was first evacuated.

If someone stands under the particle electric propulsion engine, when the space shuttle starts, the particle flow ejected by the particle electric propulsion engine can directly vaporize the person.

The space shuttle seemed to be blown by the wind like a feather, and it floated slowly in the air, about 25 meters above the ground.

The particle electric propulsion engine under the wing of the space shuttle began to rotate rapidly, and its engine nozzle was vertically downward.

The particle electric propulsion engine ejected a light blue flame.

A huge roar sounded, and a wave of air on the ground surged in all directions, blowing the trees around the square to the ground.

With the help of the reverse thrust generated by the particle electric propulsion engine, the space shuttle flew to high altitude, and at the same time, the angle of the particle electric propulsion engine also gradually changed, and gradually reached the level of the fuselage of the space shuttle.

The space shuttle flew obliquely upwards and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jinming stared at the data of the space shuttle and kept mumbling.

Now that it has reached the stratosphere, the space shuttle is normal, and its skin is not afraid of the high temperature friction with the atmosphere.

The space shuttle has reached low-earth orbit and began to move around the earth at a speed of 7.8 kilometers per second.

Zhou Yu knows that the space shuttle has been successfully manufactured, and as long as Xinghuo Technology can master this vehicle proficiently in the future, they will be able to gain a leading position in the development of space resources.
