Chapter 313: Mining Ship Project

"Forget it, let's go back tonight." Ye Fan shook his head, thinking to himself, and then began to walk up the stairs.
Why not take the elevator? Because it hasn't been installed yet!
Behind Ye Fan, Shen Zhong followed like a flatterer, either as he asked for warmth or flattering.
It's just that Ye Fan is no stranger to these things. It's not that he likes to enjoy the feeling of being bragged, but that he "reaches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiley person".
"Boss, General Manager Jiang." When they reached the sixth floor, several Datang Technology security guards standing at the door also bowed to Ye Fan and Jiang Lang.
"Well, it's been hard work." Ye Fan said, pushing open the mahogany gate three meters high and three meters wide, and walked inside.
Only Ye Fan and Jiang Lang as well as Tang Xue and Ye Qingcheng walked in. Shen Zhong was not from Datang Technology, so it was not convenient to go in together, so he had to wait outside.
Because the exterior of the launch center building is built in a circular shape, its interior is also a circular hall.
In the interior of the hall, there are more than a dozen large round tables, each with more than a dozen people writing and painting.
The others were in a conference room on the side of the sixth floor, and they didn't know what they were discussing.
There are more than 300 people on the entire sixth floor, and the remaining more than 100 people are on the ground of the launch center outside the building, constantly shuttled and measured on the already poured foundation.
"Good boss! Good general manager Jiang!" Some people also noticed Ye Fan's arrival and raised their heads to say hello.
"Well, keep busy." Ye Fan nodded, motioning them not to let go of their work.
They are all planning the design drawings of the launch center and the interior design drawings of the launch vehicle, and they also marked out various patterns and texts such as ideas in some places.
The mining spacecraft is to let Origin help design it, and they only need to do the rocket well.
Ye Fan's thinking is that the existing rocket thrust is completely insufficient, and even the rocket with the largest thrust cannot transport a complete mining spacecraft to the sky.
Therefore, the method Ye Fan adopted was to launch a mining spacecraft to the sky through three launches, and then assemble it on a synchronous orbit.
The first batch of mining spacecraft will fly to the moon. There are three in total. If they are separated, they will be launched nine rockets.
If Ye Fan's dream is true, then there should be a lot of rare metals on the moon, which can be used to install the ion engine.
The speed of the ion engine could have been faster, but the metal material of the earth itself limits its speed.
If it flies faster, the jet port at the tail of the ion engine will be instantly melted by the terrifying high temperature of the charged particle stream.
Even gold-titanium alloys are completely useless, so high-grade metals must be refined to further increase the speed of the ion engine and upgrade it to the second generation.
However, there are no high-grade metal materials on the earth at all. Even if there are, they are stored in laboratories in various countries, and the quantity is pitiful.
Therefore, the first batch of mining spacecraft flew to the moon, directly transporting rare metals back to the earth, and then smelting them into advanced metals.
It is the legendary "grabbing old books".
The second batch of mining spacecraft will have four rockets that need to be launched twelve times. They will still be assembled on the earth's synchronous orbit, and then the mining spacecraft will fly to Mars.
But Mars is gravitational. Although it is weaker than that of the earth, it does not seem to be as if the gravitational force on the moon is only one-sixth that of the earth.
Therefore, only one of the four mining spacecraft will come back, and the other three spacecraft are essentially parts of a large rocket launch platform.
At that time, they will be automatically assembled on Mars, then the fully loaded mining spacecraft will be launched out of Mars, and finally the mining spacecraft will fly back to Earth.
The mining spacecraft returning from Mars will be the most important part of Ye Fan's plan.
Because it allows the ion engine to break through to the third generation, which can fly out of the atmosphere. Although it cannot be said that flying to a high synchronous orbit is so exaggerated, it already has the ability to fly to a low synchronous orbit.
Therefore, the third batch of mining spacecraft will have five, divided into 15 rocket launches, and equipped with "solar sail" non-working fluid engines. In the next five months, these five mining spacecraft will fly to Collect resources on Mercury.
When the third batch of mining spacecraft returns, the ion engine will officially have the ability to fly directly from the ground to a high-synchronous orbit. At that time, only the electromagnetic propulsion engine needs to be activated to freely navigate in space.
So these three batches of mining spacecraft are the key, and the rocket's is also very critical, but it is not the most critical step.
If they really can’t design a reasonable layout, or can’t come up with a large-thrust rocket engine~EbookFREE.me~ Ye Fan can also talk to Guo Fengxiao and use a public rocket.
Just this way, the mining spacecraft will definitely be exposed, and at the current stage, exposing this thing is not a good thing.
No one knows what Ye Fan thinks, even Jiang Lang, who has been with Ye Fan the longest time, and Ye Qingcheng don't know Ye Fan's thoughts.
I approached the meeting room at the end of the sixth floor all the way. This meeting room was very large. Although it was temporarily set up, its internal space was still very broad.
After all, you can live in a conference room where hundreds of people can sit at the same table for a meeting, no matter how small you can go.
Ye Fan gradually approached and heard a nice female voice.
"No, Wang Tao, this plan of yours cannot be passed at all. Your idea is to increase the volume of the rocket to obtain greater thrust, but your approach,
It is as ridiculous as pouring two cups of water at 50 degrees into 100 degrees. It is completely nonsense. As you increase the size of the rocket, the thrust required by the rocket will become greater.
Because it has become heavier, and because of the increase in volume, the friction with the air will also increase. In this way, the total thrust remains the same, and our existing materials cannot make your design drawings. Such a big rocket inside. "
"Before Qian, your design is unreasonable. The boss gave a hard condition, which is to allow us to maintain the maximum thrust,
It can also carry a carrier compartment at the front of the rocket. Although your design plan increases the thrust, the carrier compartment is also reduced. It can only carry the volume of three geosynchronous satellites. "
"Zhao Liu, your design is unreasonable..."
