Chapter 855

Of course, the most difficult thing to complete in the South Tianmen plan is the large-scale Aerospace strategic aircraft carrying platform.

After all, it is more than 200 meters long and more than 600 meters wide, which is equivalent to the huge size of four aircraft carriers. Even if it is not a problem to fly with an anti gravity generator, trying to make such a huge thing is still a severe test of human industrial manufacturing capacity, materials science and structure.

Building an aircraft carrier has been a great test of a country's overall industrial strength.

Just like the passage circulated on the Internet, it needs "the National Planning Commission, the military industry commission and nine ministries of national defense industry, 600 related majors and 8000 supporting manufacturers". This is not a job that can be completed by a shipyard, but a strong country with strong national strength.

It is almost impossible to build an airborne aircraft platform several times larger than an aircraft carrier.

This is not only a technical problem, but also a problem of industrial production capacity.

Not to mention anything else, just the 100000 tons of qualified high-performance steel made from this stuff can't be made even by smashing the pot and selling iron for many small countries.

Not to mention that the materials used in some places are much rarer and more expensive than high-performance steel. Maybe some small countries sell them all, and they may not be valuable.

However, this time, all the existing countries of mankind are involved in the construction, which is not a problem in terms of materials.

In particular, Chen Xin's previous efforts in Europe, the mining and smelting of various mineral resources and the synthesis of high-performance materials are not too big problems.

The mining sub bases all over Europe provide sufficient raw materials for the construction of aircraft carrying platforms.

However, there are only materials, which need to be processed into parts.

You should know that the carrier platform is more than 200 meters long and 600 meters wide. In order to ensure sufficient structural strength, many parts are surprisingly large.

For example, the length of some components of the main support structure of the carrier platform is even more than 100 meters!

Such a huge component has never been manufactured in human history, because nothing needs such a large part.

Even if there were components with a length of hundreds of meters in the past, they would be manufactured by splicing multiple parts, rather than manufacturing such a huge part as a whole.

If it weren't for 3D printing technology, I'm afraid we would have to study how to make such a large part first.

Moreover, even with 3D printing technology, to manufacture such a large component, it still needs to redesign the printing equipment, and the existing printing equipment is difficult to complete its manufacturing work.

Moreover, even if such a huge part is manufactured, how to ensure that its structural strength meets the requirements is a headache for the project team.

All this needs the overall coordination of Chen Xin, the general person in charge, which tests his ability even more.

If Xiyao, an artificial intelligence, had not assisted him and helped him deal with a lot of trivial affairs, I'm afraid he would be really tired to death.

Fortunately, the country is also aware of the difficulties of this project and has deployed a large number of experienced administrative and technical personnel.

These people may not be able to help much with the improvement of the theoretical basis, but they can play too much role in the actual construction of the carrier platform.

Experienced administrative personnel can coordinate the cooperation and communication between departments, make the cooperation between departments more smooth, and also solve the "small problems" in the process of mass production and manufacturing.

The technicians can better complete the production and manufacturing work. For some problems that may not be aware of or will not be found on the drawings, the technicians on site can find and deal with them in the production and manufacturing process.

However, even with these conditions, it is still not easy to build a large-scale Aerospace strategic carrier platform.

In order to avoid waste and verify the technology, Chen Xin decided to build a small scaled down carrier platform for technical verification. At the same time, he can also accumulate experience for the real design and construction of large space strategic carrier platform.

This scheme was quickly recognized and supported by all parties. Everyone also felt that it was more reliable to do a technical verification first than to directly start building big guys.

After all, those large parts of more than 100 meters are really difficult to build, and they really don't have any relevant experience.

If we can build a smaller one first, verify whether the structural design is reasonable, or find the possibility of changing large parts into small parts, it is very beneficial for the construction of the whole empty space carrier platform.

Therefore, under the condition that each project team improved the basic theory, a small carrier platform reduced by nearly ten times was built.

This carrier platform is not a scaled down version of the large carrier platform expected to be built. Although it is similar in structure, its drawings have been carefully designed.

Moreover, the carrier platform also has the same performance indicators as the large carrier platform, and can also launch UAV operations.

However, the UAV mounted on this small carrier platform is not an aerospace aircraft that can basically enter the design finalization stage, but some specially designed small UAVs.

This small carrier platform is only more than 20 meters long and more than 60 meters wide. It looks like an airliner with extremely long wings.

The main part of the fuselage is the crew cabin and control center to accommodate personnel, as well as a UAV maintenance workshop specially prepared for the carrier platform, while on both sides of the fuselage are two UAV launch tubes.

This is a new technology specially developed for the airborne aircraft platform. It can launch UAVs quickly at high altitude, recover and maintain them. It is an important basis for the formation of the operational concept of the airborne platform.

As for the huge wing whose wingspan has completely exceeded the design of ordinary aircraft, this is one of the key points of this technical verification.

Because of the use requirements of large Aerospace strategic carrier platform, the design of such a large span is in line with its positioning, but this large span design is also a torture to the wing structure and materials.

After all, we all know that the longer something is, the easier it is to break, and so is the wing.

It is not a simple thing to make it long enough and strong enough to meet the needs of aircraft flight.

Fortunately, the whole South Tianmen project has gathered the world's top scientists and scientific research teams. It is difficult for them to be defeated by a wing with a wingspan of more than 60 meters.

As for the energy and power of this small carrier platform, it is relatively simple.

A small nuclear reactor is installed on the carrier platform, together with an anti gravity generator and a shield device, which provides it with abundant energy, a more convenient way to rise into the air, and sufficient safety protection.
