"Professor Chen, I think what you said is true, but you want to build a spaceship, and it is the kind that spans planets. How can two or three hundred acres of land be enough, and the natural environmental conditions in Kyoto are not suitable for launch... "
After listening to Zhou Zhengfeng's crackling talk, Chen Nuo said indifferently: "Who said I want to build a traditional chemical-fueled spaceship."
"It's not chemical fuel, how do you fly into the sky?"
"Hall Thruster, powerful miracles."
Zhou Zhengfeng stopped talking, but looked at Chen Nuo with expectation.
Whether it is a Hall thruster or an ion thruster, the thrust is related to the energy supply, and the greater the energy output, the higher the thrust.
But their current technology is 100kw to generate a thrust of 5N, and a spaceship needs 200 million kilowatts of energy, which is 2000MW, based on ten tons.
At present, the miniaturized nuclear fusion device has a diameter of 4.8 meters, an energy output of 100MW, and a weight of one ton. If the weight of the propeller is added, nuclear fusion cannot make the Hall propeller fly.
What's more, one is definitely more than 10 tons.
But since Chen Nuo raised this problem, there must be a solution.
"Professor Chen, have you researched a superconducting magnet with ultra-high magnetic field strength? Or is there a breakthrough in the Hall thruster?"
As expected of the boss in charge of various industries, the problem goes straight to the core.
"There are some ideas on the thruster. It's not asking you for a piece of land, and then building an intelligent factory and researching it."
"The spaceship?"
"After the research, let's rebuild!"
Zhou Zhengfeng was silent for a while, and then said: "Professor Chen, please follow me to see Vice President Lin. This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make the decision."
"Let's go then!"
Chen Nuo also knew what Zhou Zhengfeng was worried about.
Not to mention the vicinity of Kyoto, you have to be cautious in any place, if you fall halfway through the flight, it will be a lot of fun.
Kyoto is a super big city with more than 2000 million people, and if it falls, it will be a disaster.
This kind of disaster occurs in all countries. In the B rocket accident that year, 6 people died and 57 people were injured. The Challenger spacecraft disintegrated and 7 astronauts died...
Half an hour later, the two met Vice President Lin at the Internal Affairs Department. Chen Nuo explained the matter, and then Vice President Lin asked Chen Nuo to wait. After ten minutes, Vice President Lin came out.
"Professor Chen, we will provide you with a 1000-acre land in Anxiong, and we will provide everything. You are only responsible for the research with peace of mind. After you finish the research and get the spacecraft, can you share a copy of the data with us?" us?"
"no problem!"
Chen Nuo agreed very happily, even if Vice President Lin didn't say anything, he would do the same.
"Minister Zhou, you should handle this matter yourself, and everything will be done according to Professor Chen's requirements."
Chen Nuo heaved a sigh of relief when he got the permission from his superiors. If his superiors disagreed, he would be in a difficult position for a while.
"Professor Chen, I'll take care of the land issue for you. In terms of factory design?"
"I will do it myself!"
Zhou Zhengfeng nodded. This Professor Chen is almost a treasure chest. I really can't think of anything he doesn't know.
The two chatted as they walked outside.
Suddenly, Chen Nuo stopped in his tracks, and said thoughtfully in his eyes: "Mr. Zhou, you chose the wrong location. As for the area, wait until I think about it!"
Chapter 716 The Rod of God
"Minister Zhou, try to choose the location of the factory as far away as possible. As for the area, I will tell you after I think about it!"
Chen Nuo, who came out of the inner courtyard, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"You have a new idea?"
Chen Nuo didn't respond to him, but asked, "What is the progress of the Nantianmen project you mentioned to me last time?"
Faced with the sudden jump of Chen Nuo's topic, Zhou Zhengfeng reacted very quickly: "You don't think you want to make it together, do you?"
"A sheep is herding, and a flock of sheep is herding. Since they are both building spaceships, let's build them together!"
"I don't know the specifics of the Nantianmen plan, but the progress is not satisfactory."
Zhou Zhengfeng shook his head, and then said: "The Nantianmen project is a project team formed by two departments of the General Assembly and Aerospace Corporation, led by academicians Liang Jin, Zhang Gui, and Zhou Cheng, and 6 other academicians were removed. and dozens of professors in the aerospace field."
"If you're asking for specifics, why don't we go to Mr. Yu, who is in the final assembly, and go to the project team to have a look together?"
"Let's go!"
Chen Nuo didn't hesitate at all.
Luanniao is a task given by the system, and now there is no horoscope, relying on him alone, it is estimated that he will not be able to play by this time next year, and it is naturally best to have someone cooperate now.
Half an hour later, Chen Nuo and his team entered the No. [-] space from the car repair shop, where Chen Nuo assembled the mechs.
In a large conference room on the second basement floor of Space Zero, academician Liang Jin and other branch members of the project team gathered together after being notified.
"Professor Chen?"
Everyone looked at Chen Nuo who came in accompanied by Yu Chongyang and others, and they were all taken aback.
They thought it was the leaders from above who came to inspect, but they didn't expect that it was Chen Nuo who came.
What is this big guy doing here?
Just finished controllable nuclear fusion, and now you are planning to engage in spaceflight?
"Academician Liang, tell Professor Chen about the vision and progress of the entire Nantianmen project!"
Yu Chongyang cut to the chase.
Academician Liang Jin stood up without the slightest hesitation.
"Project Nantianmen was established based on threats from space, such as space-based weapons... and portals to guard the starry sky..."
Academician Liang Jin briefly explained the purpose of the establishment of the Nantianmen Project.
Chen Nuo nodded secretly. The purpose of the Nantianmen Project mentioned by Academician Liang Jin is the most real.
As for the air show, it is to ensure the smooth completion of the equipment plan of the first "deep space strategic strike cluster" of mankind, and to build a force that can effectively resist the attack of alien civilization as soon as possible.
This kind of statement is pure nonsense, deep space strategic attack and defense against alien civilization, what defense can we use?Made a particle cannon?Still have a warp drive?
The first half of the sentence deals with the threat of the enemy and space competition among major powers.
As for the second half of the sentence "Guarding the Gate of the Starry Sky", asking him to translate it is a toll.
But it was the first time Chen Nuo saw that the toll collection was so sober and refined.
Because from the earth to the starry sky, whether it is to go to the eight planets or to explore other planets, according to the current technology, it must go through the earth-moon orbit or use the earth-moon orbit as a transfer station.
There are two routes for space exploration. One is to fly directly from the earth to the destination, but this kind of fuel and supplies required for the whole process must be brought before take-off; Resupply.
Now, although controllable nuclear fusion has solved the fuel problem, how can the spacecraft go to the sky?
Although chemical fuel is okay, it is not suitable for long-distance flights, and its weight and volume are very large. Using Hall thrusters or ion thrusters, the current technology does not have enough thrust.
Therefore, there is the second one-stop supply, and the moon is the first supply site, and the weight of the spacecraft launched from here can be reduced by more than 68%.
Then the problem comes, as long as the earth-moon orbit is guarded, any spacecraft that wants to fly out from here must obtain our permission.
Especially now that there are controllable nuclear fusion and ultra-high-power laser weapons, they can be defeated directly without paying protection fees.
Moreover, there must be a launch window from the earth to any planet. Taking the earth to Mars as an example, the window period is 26 months and lasts for one month.
Only launching within this month is the best, and the earth-moon orbit saves this waiting time.
Therefore, another way of saying guarding the gate of the starry sky: I opened this road, and I planted this tree.
Afterwards, Chen Nuo frowned, with some doubts in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Old Liang, what do you mean by the space-based weapons you just mentioned? They really made them?"
"Professor Chen, what do you think is the reason for the crash of so many satellites in the sky?"
Without waiting for Chen Nuo to respond, Liang Jin continued: "Space-based weapons are divided into two types, one is space-based energy weapons, and the other is space-based kinetic energy weapons."
"The former are most commonly used lasers, ion cannons, etc., but judging from their current technology, it is okay to hit satellites. It is wishful thinking to hit the earth from the earth-moon orbit."
"The latter is a warhead that fires live ammunition. It falls from the earth-moon orbit to reach supersonic speeds. When it hits the ground, its powerful kinetic energy can easily destroy a military base."
Chen Nuo did not speak, quietly waiting for Academician Liang Jin's explanation.
"As for space-based kinetic energy weapons, in the 90s, they proposed the 'God's Rod' plan. A single specially-made tungsten rod with a weight of 7 tons was transported into space in a total of 10 pieces, launched vertically on the ground, and reached the ground. It could reach Mach 20."
"They succeeded in this plan?"
Chen Nuo was covered in cold sweat from shock, and sat up straight in an instant.
When the speed reaches Mach 8, a black barrier will be formed, and the high-temperature plasma on the surface will absorb radar waves. It is extremely difficult for air defense missiles with radar seekers to detect, that is to say, it is basically difficult to accurately lock with radar.
It only takes 11 minutes to go from space to the ground, which is one third of an intercontinental missile. The response speed of the radar cannot keep up, let alone intercept it.
The 7-ton weight bombards the ground at a speed of Mach 20. The kinetic energy shock and local earthquakes caused are enough to destroy an entire city in an instant, and can easily penetrate the interior of the target hundreds of meters deep underground.
"I don't know, the budget when the plan was proposed was 6000 billion knives, and the huge budget made them stop;
But now 30 years have passed, and the technology and economic strength are not the same. We don't know whether it has been successful in the past 30 years;
But there are rumors that they plan to complete the deployment by 2025. I don’t know if it is a smoke bomb. Now we are just taking precautions and monitoring space-based energy weapons. "
As for whether it will pass through directly when hitting the target because of its high speed, leaving only a hole, this kind of speculation must be resolved since the opponent dares to mention it.
Chapter 717 Luanniao Exposure
call……
Chen Nuo let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he knew why there was a Nantianmen plan, and he was eager to get started when the conditions were so insufficient.
He thought that with super laser weapons, vertical fighters, power armor, and the Dongfeng series, we would definitely not lose in a fight.
Looking at it now, his understanding is still a little shallow.
Even if there are super laser weapons now, the country's territory is too large, 5200 kilometers from east to west, and 5500 kilometers from north to south.
As long as the opponent kills all the military satellites before launching, with such a large area, who knows where the special tungsten rods fell from, even if a laser weapon hits them, it may not be able to kill them.
Now I can only hope that this plan of the other party does not succeed.
"Professor Chen, you don't have to worry too much."
Yu Chongyang broke the silence in the conference room: "If the other party dares to do this, they must bear the blow of our 41. Dozens of bullets can easily wipe them out. They can't afford this price, unless they fight it out and die together."
Although Yu Chongyang said so, everyone still felt that there was a mountain pressing down on their hearts.
"Old Liang, you continue!"
After a long silence, Chen Nuo asked Academician Liang Jin to continue explaining.
He wants to see how far the Nantianmen project team has achieved. If the foundation is sufficient, then he will build the ostrich as soon as possible.
Don't prepare everything, and finally fall short.
"Professor Chen, because the Nantianmen Project involves a lot of technology, we plan to proceed in three steps. The first step is the space platform. The main weapon is to carry super laser weapons to monitor the enemy. The second step is to be stationed for a long time. Three steps..."
"The initial dimension of the aerospace platform is 186 meters in length, 86 meters in width, and 29 meters in height..."
Chen Nuo agreed with the previous part, after all, there must be priorities, but the size of the sky platform made him a little speechless.
Not to mention comparing with Luanniao, even comparing with the International Space Station, it is a bit too petty.
After all, the International Space Station is 110 meters long and 88 meters wide, and the superpower that has developed controllable nuclear fusion to build an aerospace platform is similar to other people's space stations, which is really speechless.
Half an hour later, Academician Liang Jin explained the planning and progress of the entire Nantianmen project.
There is no problem in planning, but the design pattern is much smaller.
Compared with the luan bird, it is useless.
But it's not bad, after all, it's a groping from scratch, and it's pretty good to be able to plan to this point in a short period of time.
"Professor Chen, do you have any suggestions?"
"Everything else is fine, but this size is a bit..."
Chen Nuo hesitated for a moment, afraid that speaking out might hurt others.
Yu Chongyang opened his mouth, and said lightly: "Professor Chen, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say."
Chen Nuo glanced at Yu Chongyang, then glanced at the academicians and heads of subsystems in the conference room.
