Chapter 2144

"Mr. Qin, your speech is really wonderful." it's already evening. When eating in the base, Qin Guan is surrounded by all the principals of the base and veterans of aviation. They all heard Qin Guan's description of this kind of space plane and looked forward to it.

Looking at these people, Qin Guan also opened his mouth in surprise: "you won't believe it? I deceived them."

"No, Mr. Qin, the idea you put forward is absolutely feasible." Mr. Qi said excitedly there: "Although there is no formal calculation, I just made a rough estimate. As long as we provide our aerospace aircraft with a suborbital and Mach 9 speed, we can put it into orbit, especially the engine you mentioned. We believe that the comrades in the aviation department have begun to engage in the things of eagle and bear."

Looking at their eyes, Qin Guan knew that they had given themselves to myth. In their eyes, there was nothing they could not do. As long as they said anything, they would be able to do it. Only three years after the project was approved, they could send the first spacecraft to heaven. Is there anything else they could not do?

No wonder in the past, Qin always tried his best to deny the space shuttle program. It turned out that he wanted to build a space shuttle in one step! In the field of aerospace technology, his side also began to catch up with and surpass the world's advanced level.

Looking at the blazing flames in these people's eyes, Qin Guan knew that they had been moved. No, we had to pour cold water on them.

"No, no, this space shuttle is not our current plan." Qin Guan said: "the short-term plan of our space Department, at least for 20 years, has been established. The first step is to engage in manned spaceflight, the second step is to engage in our own space station and engage in scientific research in space for a long time."

"What about the third step?" Lao Qi continued to ask Qin Guan.

Step three?

In the first two steps, Qin Guan planned to take 20 years. Therefore, Qin Guan had not thought about what to do later. After all, after 20 years, Qin Guan would certainly retire. In fact, even now, Qin Guan already had the idea of retiring. He would work for a few years until the disintegration of the state of bear and his side had become a world power beyond the eagle country. Qin Guan He must retire. His wife and children are hot on the Kang. This is the comfortable life Qin Guan most expects.

Now, when Qi asked Qin Guan about the third step, Qin Guan really couldn't answer.

Is it a moon landing?

The action of landing on the moon is of great political significance. Just look at the competition between bear and Eagle a few years ago. Finally, bear failed. They connected more than 100 small engines in parallel, resulting in reduced reliability. Several launches and several losses. The eagle people achieved this goal by relying on the powerful Saturn five rocket.

However, after that, the moon fell silent again. Relying on the current aerospace technology, the cost of landing on the moon is too high, and the huge investment is not proportional to the income. Even if you know that there are many resources on the moon, such as nuclear fusion fuel helium III, Aerospace metal titanium, etc., however, there is a long way to go to exploit the resources there.

After the space station is built, what's the next step?

Develop aerospace aircraft! The development of this project can greatly reduce the cost of entering space. Only when entering space is civilian, can more space exploration be realized. For example, large spacecraft can be assembled in space, not only to detect other planets!

It can be said that before the idea of space elevator became a reality, the cost of using this kind of space plane should be the lowest. Qin Guan was already moved when he thought of it.

Moreover, if we develop this project, we have to develop hypersonic aircraft in the atmosphere. In this way, it also has huge military applications. If our side has Mach 9, even Mach 6 high-altitude aircraft, it is absolutely high enough for birds to fly, and we can go over any country at any time.

Well, no, of course we didn't do that. We are already in sub orbit. It belongs to aerospace, not airspace. Aerospace all over the world is open, not private.

Qin Guan was really moved.

"Look at the news, come on, look at the news, the white elephant country is sour again." just then, suddenly someone shouted.

Dinner time is the time to broadcast the news. On the wall of the canteen, there is a big TV. Everyone can care about national affairs when eating.

Now, the domestic news has been broadcast, and several foreign newsletters are being broadcast.

"The white elephant space research organization claims that it is conducting preliminary discussions on the manned space program. It plans to send its own astronauts into space within five years and send its astronauts to the moon within ten years, becoming the third independent country with manned space capability in the world."

"White elephant country can really enlarge satellites." after hearing the news, someone immediately began to discuss it.

White elephant country does have its own space technology. With the technical support of bear country, they launched the first sounding rocket in the 1960s. In the 1970s, they launched their own satellites with the help of bear country rockets. In 1980, they finally launched their own rockets and satellites at their own rocket launch site.

However, compared with the Han state? In the early 1970s, Dongfanghong was already ringing through space, ten years ahead of the white elephant country. Now, the gap between the two sides is even greater. Without any technical reserves, it is simply impossible for them to send the first astronaut to heaven within five years!

"It's not the first time that the people of the white elephant country have ambitions." Qin Guan said, "they boast first. Whether they can achieve them in the future is another matter. However, the people of the white elephant country are putting pressure on us. We must send our astronauts up within five years."

Manned spaceflight is a systematic and big project, and we must be careful. In the parallel space-time of later generations, Han launched four Shenzhou unmanned spacecraft at one go and verified various technologies. It was not until Shenzhou V that it began its first manned flight. It was only an astronaut. It can be said that it was quite cautious. After all, events such as the explosion of challenger, It always reminds everyone that there can be no paralysis in the aerospace project. However, it hasn't taken five years from the launch of Shenzhou 1 to Shenzhou 5.

Now, his own technology is more comprehensive. Therefore, Qin Guan said that he must go to heaven within five years. Qi Lao on the side is full of interest: "we plan to carry out comprehensive technical verification on Shenzhou II, launch next year, and realize the first manned launch the next year!"
