Vol 2 Chapter 659: Priority of technology research and development

His answer also made everyone in the conference room laugh relaxed. As a super technology research and development company, everyone is very proud of the technical level of their company. Xiong Antai and Zhang Hanxiu, the laboratory leaders, do not need Like those entrepreneurial technology companies, they should also moderately exaggerate and beautify their technology to attract investment.
In the company, their R&D funds have never been squandered, so they will naturally say something that they can be done, so after listening to their report, everyone looks right. Relaxed expression.
"It’s good if you have confidence! Since there is no problem with the time node, there is no need to delay time. You must know that the typhoon season has already begun. If a typhoon comes at this time, our launch mission will be moved back. It has been several days, so take advantage of the good weather on the South Island now, so if you can launch it, hurry up!" Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
?? Everyone nodded and agreed with their boss, after all, this is a fact that cannot be ignored. Usually May to September each year is the concentrated period of typhoons affecting our country. From the data of typhoons that landed in China over the years, Nanhai Province is the only coastal province where a typhoon landed in April, and the launch base of the'Gaia' rocket is of course Also within this range of influence.
"Weather conditions are also one of the reasons we are considering launching as soon as possible. However, the weather conditions have been very good recently. There has been no extreme weather in at least half a month recently because we will obtain real-time data from the National Meteorological Center and our company’s satellites. The data I observed were integrated.
Using our company's artificial intelligence ‘origin’ and the computing power of our company’s powerful supercomputer array to carry out in-depth calculations, the data obtained for half a month is already very accurate! "Zhang Hanxiu also replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's settle this matter! By the way, where has the research and development of the solid-fuel heavy-duty launch vehicle that is being developed simultaneously progressed?" Lei Tiantang hasn't heard the progress of this type of rocket for a long time. So I’m a little curious if Rocket Lab has encountered any difficulties.
Hearing the boss asked this question, Xiong Antai was not surprised at all, because the task assigned to him by the boss was to develop heavy rockets with two fuel types. Now one of them can officially launch the mission, but the other has no loud noise. , No wonder the boss wants to ask.
"Compared to the smooth development process of our'Giantlings-1' heavy-duty recoverable rocket, the development of the'Giantlings-2' heavy solid fuel rocket is a bit behind!
Although the boss also provided us with a lot of solid-fuel rocket related technologies, we have also successfully developed medium-sized solid-fuel rockets, but the progress from medium-sized rockets to heavy-duty rockets is not a simple amplification problem!
Many related technologies need to be optimized and upgraded, and related data need to be recalculated. Especially the optimization of solid fuel formulations takes the most time. This work is not only dangerous, but also requires a lot of experiments and data accumulation at each step. .
Just for the purpose of researching and developing robots for mixing solid fuels and related tests, the robotics laboratory has done a lot of improvement work on the professional engineering robots in our laboratory.
Because the solid fuel related experiments require that electric sparks must not occur, or they may explode at any time, all kinds of robots responsible for specific types of robots must be optimized before they can be used.
These reasons are objective. Of course, technical difficulties are also normal. We can still overcome this. The main reason why the research and development of the'Giantlings-2' heavy solid fuel rocket will lag behind is mainly in our laboratory. I want to put the focus of the work on the'Giant Spirit-1' heavy-duty recoverable rocket.
After all, according to the company's space program, our ‘Giantlings-1’ heavy-duty recoverable rocket can fully meet mission requirements in a short period of time, and the use of recoverable rockets is a bit lower in terms of launch costs.
And the related tasks that require the use of disposable solid rockets to launch have not been available in a short time, so we have slowed down its research and development work, and the work should still be divided into priorities! "
What Xiong Antai said is also reasonable. Compared with liquid rocket motors, solid rocket motors have the advantages of simple structure, high propellant density, propellants can be stored in the combustion until ready for use, and convenient and reliable operation.
The disadvantage is that the "specific impulse" is small (also called specific thrust, which is the ratio of the thrust of the engine to the weight of the propellant consumed per second, in seconds). The specific impulse of the solid rocket motor is 250 to 300 seconds, the working time is short, and the acceleration causes the thrust. It is difficult to control and difficult to start repeatedly, which is not conducive to manned flight~EbookFREE.me~ Therefore, solid rocket motors are generally used as rockets, missiles and sounding rocket engines, as well as spacecraft launch and aircraft take-off assistance Push the engine.
And because of the characteristics of the fuel, it is difficult to design rockets that use solid fuels to be recyclable, so the cost of use is of course much higher than that of recyclable heavy rockets.
At the same time, Infinite Gravity Group does not have any demand for this heavy solid fuel in a short time, because the carrying capacity of the'Giantlings-1' heavy recoverable rocket that will be officially launched now can fully satisfy the company for a period of time. Time is needed for launch.
After all, the finished "Giantlingshen-1" heavy recyclable rocket has reached an extremely exaggerated figure of 82 meters in height, and the diameter of the rocket body has reached the figure of 8 meters, of course, such exaggerated data. The carrying capacity will be very exaggerated.
Thanks to Infinite Gravity Group’s material advantages and technical design advantages, the
Giantlingshen-1
heavy-duty recoverable rocket can have a maximum low-Earth orbit load of 135 tons, and its geosynchronous orbit has a carrying capacity of 75 Ton!
It should be understood that this number is greater than the carrying capacity of the Saturn 5, which has the largest carrying capacity in history, and it is also a recoverable rocket. This number is also twice as large as the existing Falcon heavy recoverable rocket. many!
The most important thing is that its 8 meter diameter allows the space station of Infinite Gravity Group to achieve the same exaggerated figure of 7.5 meters!
It is important to know that the space station with this diameter can have a clear height of at least 6 meters, which is about the height of two floors. It is easy to lay out such a large space, and it will not appear crowded.
