Chapter 182 Significance of Long March 9

Chapter 182 The Significance of Long March No. [-]

With different standpoints, people naturally think about issues from different angles, but on some issues, people can still reach a consensus, that is, the future of mankind is a sea of ​​stars.

No, it can’t be all consistent, and a qualifier “most” has to be added, because some people’s mental state is indeed wrong, and they think that the center of the earth is the future of mankind, or that the earth is flat...

"The earth is the cradle of human beings, but human beings will not live in the cradle forever. At the beginning, they will carefully pass through the atmosphere, and then go to conquer the solar system."

This famous and inspirational statement is from the famous scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, as the founder of modern space navigation, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was the first to propose the use of rockets in space He established the basic equations of rocket motion, so he is honored as the "Father of Aerospace".

Many people think that after more than half a century of aerospace development, humans today can easily travel to Earth orbit.

Even landing a man on the moon is not a fantasy, after all, there have been six landings.

Not only that, the farthest human deep space probe has already flown to the space beyond the heliosphere of the sun.

It can be said that human beings are already quite great!
But in fact, the farthest-flying deep space probe flew out of the heliosphere, but this does not count as flying out of the solar system.

Humanity is still locked in the huge cage of the solar system.

Judging from the results of modern astronomical observations, the sun is just an insignificant yellow dwarf star in the Milky Way. Although the sun is small, the scope of the solar system is not small. The solar system is much larger than what we see.

At the beginning, scientists believed that the heliopause was the edge of the solar system, but with the development of astronomical observation technology and the accumulation of observational data, scientists discovered that there is a layer of Oort cloud wrapped around the outer edge of the solar system. After calculation, it was found that this A huge Oort cloud is also within the gravitational range of the sun.

In this way, the scope of the solar system will be redefined, that is, the spherical space with the sun as the center and a surrounding radius of about one light-year belongs to the solar system.

Therefore, humans can temporarily think that the solar system is a spherical space with a diameter of about two light-years.

So how much have we humans explored the solar system?

Back then, Voyager 1 accelerated to the third cosmic speed through the planetary gravitational slingshot, which means that Voyager 1 already has the ability to fly out of the solar system, but being able to fly out and having already flown out are two different things.

According to calculations, it will take at least 1 years for Voyager 1.8 to fly out of the solar system.

Not only that, Voyager 1's journey is a journey that never returns, so it is destined not to come back, and maybe we will never have the opportunity to see it fly out of the solar system.

Today's rockets and aircraft are all propelled by chemical power. According to calculations, human beings will never be able to leave the solar system by relying on chemical power.

Not to mention leaving the solar system, even leaving the earth is difficult.

It is said that "after more than half a century of aerospace development, human beings can now easily go to earth orbit", in fact, the number of countries capable of manned spaceflight has changed from the original two to three and a half.

One of the first two was half-dead, and the stars were added later, and that half was Emmalon's Interstellar Exploration Technologies Corporation.

After all, its technology did not start from scratch, but was built on the developed aerospace technology system of the Free Federation, and it was still a company, not an independent country.

As for "manned landing on the moon is not a fantasy, after all, they have landed six times", but there were only six times. In the 50 years since then, humans have never landed on the moon again.

Until now, mankind has once again seen the hope of manned landing on the moon.

The Free Federation's SLS rocket made its first flight some time ago, and now Fanxing's Long March [-] rocket is about to make its first flight.

Just like in that period decades ago, when two great powers wanted to manned the moon, one failed and the other succeeded, and the result was also a "failure" and a "success".

So now this time... I don't know whether it is to reproduce the past, or because the technology has indeed developed and everyone succeeded?
And what kind of new world pattern will the moon landing activities of the two countries promote?

Many people want to know about this matter.

So Fanxing's first mission of Long March [-] is very important, it represents the opening of a new era!
The Long March [-] rocket has a huge body, and the building originally used for the assembly of the Long March [-] and Long March [-] rockets could not meet the demand, so a new one was built.

However, considering that this thing is only used a few times, it has not been considered for long-term use, so it adopts a modular construction scheme, which makes it always look like a "temporary use".

Of course, this kind of temporary feeling is not the kind of Emeron who directly builds a stainless steel interstellar super rocket on a dusty construction site. After all, that thing has been a tin tube from the beginning, and all the equipment so far are concept machines and engineering machines. With things like test machines, they have been testing whether the engine is okay, whether the stainless steel structure is okay, whether the test flight is okay, and so on.

Many people think that this dusty construction site is the final construction site of the rocket, but it is not, it is just that Emmalon chose to go hand in hand in order to hurry.

One side is to quickly build a prototype and test the rocket's capabilities through rapid iteration. It doesn't matter if it blows up. At least one waste case has been ruled out and the experimental data has been obtained. So throw away one test and quickly test the next one.

The other side is to seize the time to build a real manufacturing base. If it goes well, when the official rocket plan is confirmed, the real manufacturing base will be built, and then the finalized rocket can be quickly built and then the mission can be quickly executed.

Like flying to the moon, flying to Mars or something.

The relevant equipment of the Long March [-] is stronger than the "construction site" of the interstellar rocket, but it is indeed "temporary", so it can be built so quickly.

Fortunately, Li Future is strong enough, otherwise it would be difficult for Fanxing to be so determined to "play" with him.

Of course, most people don’t feel this kind of temporary feeling. They only think that the modularization is really powerful, but professionals from all sides always feel that Fanxing doesn’t intend to play it seriously.

However, in terms of various plans and preparations, Fanxing's execution was so strict.

As soon as such violations gathered, professionals discovered another possibility.

It's just that Fanxing may have a stronger plan!

But this plan takes time to prepare, so before that plan comes out, and the Long March [-] has been prepared for such a long time, it can be used at all.

However, it is no longer regarded as a "hundred-year plan" to implement.

This aspect is like the vertical assembly building that the Freedom Federation originally prepared for the Saturn V. It first served the Five Star Five, then served the space shuttle, and now serves the SLS rocket. It has been almost 60 years since it was first built and then used. up.

If the plan to launch more than a dozen SLS rockets is really carried out in the future, its service life will be 70 or 80 years.

Of course, no matter whether it is "temporary" or "[-] years", as long as the task can be completed, so when people see the super gate of the new assembly building opened and the huge Long March [-] is launched, people's emotions are quite different. complicated.

There are cheers.

Some cry.

There are frowns.

Somewhat gratifying.

and also……
