Chapter 1780: Electric rocket

"President Qin, it is really an eye-opener for us to visit here today." Swangerang said: "You are already at the forefront of the world in terms of launch vehicles. With confidence, we will also sign a reservation agreement with you."
Last time they came, they had this intention. After returning, they conducted repeated discussions and researches. Now that they understand the high level of the Han Guo rocket, they finally made this determination.
Han has this capability, and their launch prices are cheap, why not choose Han Chinese?
At this time, the inspection was over. At the banquet, everyone was beaming, and the customers of Eagle Country were also quite satisfied.
"Yes, we are also very confident, and I can also show you our long-term plan." Qin Guan said.
Now that the Eagle Country and the Bear Country are in a space race, how can Han not participate? Han's projects are true and false, and of course the plans in space have to be shown, so that they will know that Han's future development is definitely not bad.
When Qin Guan said this, everyone was quiet. The banquet venue was set up in a large box. Now, the lights in the box were dimmed, and after that, a slideshow appeared in front.
"Now, our Long March series rockets are under planning." This slide is not in the form of an ordinary slide. It is actually directly connected to the computer. The breakthroughs above are also in the computer!
This is too advanced, right?
The slide projector was invented by the Han people. Yes, our shadow play is the original slide projector. This is definitely the earliest. After a long period of development, it began to use electric light sources and became a modern slide projector. However, connected to a computer, As a peripheral of the computer, it is absolutely the latest.
Everyone's shock passed, and they started to look at the big screen above.
Now, it is only the Long March 2 and Long March 3, but a new series of rockets have been developed, forming a big family!
Among them is the heavy-duty rocket, the Long March V. This rocket is almost the same order of magnitude as the Saturn V rocket. It has a near-ground carrying capacity, not to mention 50 tons, right? It was definitely prepared for the space station!
Han Guo seems to want to engage in manned spaceflight!
Of course, there are also small solid rockets, which are said to be able to be launched at any time and are flexible.
The first page introduces the past, and the second page is about manned spaceflight. The manned spaceflight of the Han people seems to be taking the path of the Xiong country, using the spacecraft method, and then building a space station, a space station for the Han people. When the slideshow came out, everyone shouted in excitement, it was beautiful!
In this space station, there is a core cabin in the middle, with six ports outwards. These six ports can be extended to six sides. When expanded in this way, it becomes a unique and beautiful shape, which looks quite spectacular!
"Why don't you develop a space shuttle?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"We believe that the current technology is not up to date, and the space shuttle has many technical flaws." Qin Guan said: "If you want to do it, you have to wait for the technology to continue to improve, that is, after the third phase of our space technology project is realized Get on the horse again."
The first phase is these rockets, the second phase is manned spaceflight, and the third phase, what is it?
The slide was then turned down, and when everyone saw it, everyone was stunned.
This is even more evil than the Eagle Nation’s Star Wars plan. What did they see?
Nuclear powered rocket engine!
"The performance of chemical rockets has been developed to the extreme. If you want to use space peacefully, you need a new generation of rocket power systems. We believe that nuclear-powered rockets are the most suitable."
Is this a joke?
Nuclear power systems can be used on aircraft carriers and submarines. This is because nuclear power provides heat and then turns it into electricity. Space rockets require thrust, and it cannot be a propeller. What are they going to do?
The Eagle Country and the Bear Country have also tried. One is to use a nuclear explosion engine to continuously detonate a nuclear bomb behind and use a barbarous way to push their rockets up. The other is to use the heat generated by the nuclear reactor to transfer the heat from the fuel tank. The liquid hydrogen is heated to a temperature of nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius and then ejected, propelling the rocket with a powerful air current.
This is somewhat similar to a chemical rocket, but because it does not need to bring an oxygen tank, it can still be improved, and the efficiency is at least twice the current.
However, these are all planned, and no actual rockets have been developed. Now, are the Han people actually working on such projects? How much does it cost?
When the next slide came out, everyone was looking at it in surprise. This schematic was very strange.
"What's this?" someone asked.
"We know that with nuclear power, the biggest problem is not nuclear radiation at all, nor is it controllable. The most important problem is that there are no heat-resistant containers. Nuclear-powered rockets must release tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature and what materials. Can you have such endurance?"
Controllable nuclear fusion is also subject to this limitation.
If this problem is not resolved, a nuclear-powered rocket is just a castle in the sky, it is something that we take for granted.
Now, Han Guo has launched a completely new concept.
"So, our system perfectly avoids this problem." Qin Guan said: "Ours is more appropriate to call an electric rocket. We use the heat generated by nuclear energy to ionize liquid hydrogen and other propellants to a plasma state. Next, we use the electrical energy from nuclear reactors to accelerate them in the electric field to close to the speed of light, so that we can generate huge thrust. Moreover, this thing is not very hot, and our existing materials can be solved."
What is this, electric rocket?
How can there be so many fantastic ideas in the brains of Han people!
In fact, there are also many problems here. To accelerate particles to the speed of light, the required electrical energy is absolutely astronomical, and it is not easy for this nuclear reactor to ionize liquid hydrogen into ionic states, but this does not hinder Qin Guan. You can fool around here. "When this technology matures, we will develop a special aerospace vehicle that can roll off and land in the atmosphere. The engine is only placed in the tail, and the fuel tank is stored in two mezzanine layers inside and outside our aircraft. In this way, the aircraft Most of the internal space is used for riding, which is called a real space shuttle."
No one spoke, everyone was stunned. Qin Guan laughed secretly in his heart. When he said his words, he didn't know that Xiong Guo and Yingguo would not take the bait and invested heavily in researching these things? If Eagle Country is dragged down by this, then that would be interesting.
