NOVEL NEXT Chapter 171
For a while, everyone was scolding this old guy Musk!
It’s fine that he makes empty promises every day.
He previously attacked China’s new energy industry, and now he turns around and provokes China’s aerospace engineering!
Originally, there were still many”technology fans” in China who fanatically believed in those empty promises.
But now, after the baptism of the Red Flag and Tesla’s repeated behavior of cutting leeks, people finally recognize the true face of this guy Musk.
“Too much of a boast, when did car manufacturing need to be so pretentious?”
“A plan to destroy Starlink will launch so many satellites into the Earth’s orbit, not to mention taking up a lot of orbital space. Our Chinese infrastructure does not need 3G or 4G signals like Starlink!”
“Nowadays, even in uninhabited areas, there are many satellite services in China. You only need to bring a satellite phone. I really don’t know what’s so great about this.”
“I thought foreign countries were quite advanced, but I didn’t expect that a signal problem and satellite communication could break their defense.……”943″”
……
The people here in China have been fooled in other aspects.
But when it comes to signal issues and satellite communications, they are no longer confused.
Now 5G signals have a high coverage rate in China. As for satellite communications, this year it has been applied to the latest mobile phones.
They scoffed at this.
Even if the Starship thing really goes to the sky and succeeds, they will not become fanatical fans of Tesla.
Because a celebrity once said that technology has national boundaries. When others become advanced and developed, they will never do charity for you.
Instead, the first thing they think of is how to suppress you and harvest you. If you still regard foreign capitalists as saints, especially bright and great figures, then it is equivalent to being harvested and brainwashing yourself, and helping others count money for nothing.

China National Space Administration.
China Academy of Space Technology.
Currently,
China’s National Space Administration is mainly responsible for planning and implementing all space missions at the national level, and is responsible for signing government agreements related to space research. The
China Academy of Space Technology is the prestigious China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, founded in 1957, the largest missile weapon and launch vehicle research, design, trial production, testing and production base in China.
It can be said that arms missiles are only a small part of the usual research and development projects of the China Academy of Space Technology, and are an appendage of aerospace technology.
Usually, the China Academy of Space Technology is responsible for developing national satellites, researching launch vehicles, and how to launch space stations on a larger scale at one time, and how to reduce the cost of rockets.
This aspect is also the most technically difficult part.
After all, as long as the missile is accurate, can hit the target, and is not intercepted, it is not difficult to do this now.
But”developing satellites”
“，”How to increase the rocket’s carrying mass” and”how to reduce the cost of rockets” are extremely difficult! In the No. 1 Office of Rocket Assembly and R&D,
Gong Nanjiang is studying the three major topics in front of him. As the current president of the First Academy of Aeronautics, he is also the head of the assembly of the entire Aerospace Science and Technology Group. He is a giant in the domestic research and development of aviation rockets and missiles, and a person who has really seen the world.
At this time,
Gong Nanjiang was wearing an ordinary white coat for research and development, sitting in front of the office computer and thinking hard.
In front of him was a stack of plans:
【Heavy rocket Long March 9 – the proposition of recovery and reuse]
It is well known.
The reason why the world’s space rockets are developing slowly now, in addition to technical bottlenecks, the biggest problem is that the cost is too high.
Everyone knows that in the field of aerospace, the research and development of things like top fighters is already expensive enough.
But for a heavy rocket, just a launch test, I don’t know how many top fighters will be burned!!
Even if there is a slight problem with an internal expansion valve or welding, it may cause the entire rocket to be scrapped, and the loss will be huge.
Some countries can’t even afford a launch experiment, let alone enter the field of aerospace.
China and developed countries often grit their teeth and burn money.
So. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
If the cost can be greatly reduced, it will definitely be a major breakthrough for space rockets, and even the space station and satellite plans can be greatly advanced.
Regarding the recovery and reuse of rockets, this concept was actually mentioned a long time ago.
But at present, Musk’s company has achieved the best in the world.
Now China is also trying to take this path.
As long as rocket recovery is made a technical standard and rockets can be stably recovered and reused, a lot of money will be saved in space station construction and manned lunar landings. Although missions such as exploring Mars and asteroids are out of reach in the next few decades, the recovery technology of reused rockets is also one of the cornerstones.
Now the difficulty lies.
In fact, the First Academy of Aerospace has already had many successful experiments on the recovery of some light rockets. However, it is difficult to achieve the same stable recovery of large rockets such as the”Long March 9″ as Musk’s”Falcon 9″.
According to the internal technical estimates of the Academy of Aerospace[]
At least three years is needed.
Even the Academy of Space Technology has to admit that Musk is indeed very talented in the field of aerospace….
“Dean, the latest footage has just been sent back. The starship failed to launch and disintegrated in orbit.……”
“Please take a look.”
The office door opened.
Ding Ke, the general assembly director of the rocket, came in to report the latest aerospace intelligence.
At present, China wants to break through the heavy rocket recovery technology, and the focus is on the”SpaceX” company.
The starship is bigger than a heavy rocket, and it is extremely difficult to recover it.
Gong Nanjiang raised his head and looked quite serious.
“Oh? Let me see.”
The footage sent back by the Space Administration is not the casual live clip of Musk.
It is the high-definition footage captured by the ground in advance, and the high-definition photos captured by the Chinese satellite. There are all angles of the entire rocket from takeoff to launch into orbit, and the reaction changes of the rocket at various stages of deformation, explosion and disintegration.
Only with such a detailed angle can some problems be inferred and analyzed from a technical point of view.
Gong Nanjiang wiped his glasses, then stared at the video carefully, his fingers constantly enlarging and flipping the photos of various angles before the rocket was damaged, and studied them carefully.
Then, he inferred some reasons
“Apparently, after entering orbit, the bottom booster had a problem first, which then caused most of the other booster engines to lose signal and cause a power failure.……”
Gong Nanjiang said slowly.
Ding Ke nodded slightly:”Well, just now a few of us rocket researchers inferred from the picture that this might be the reason.”
China does not have the background data of the starship, so we can only judge by the details of the picture.
We also judged something. 0.9
“This is mainly because the launch thrust of large-scale launch vehicles has reached the highest level in the world, and the fault tolerance rate is lower. Problems that should not occur in small rockets will also occur frequently. On the other hand, the stress level of the material itself affects……”
Ding Ke continued to analyze
“Another interesting thing is that Musk went to such great lengths to scrap a Starship, but when the subsequent heat spread, he did not continue to promote his Mars plan, but instead used the Starship heat to suppress a Chinese car company.……”
As if he had thought of something,
Ding Ke suddenly couldn’t help laughing and said,”
To be honest, even the astronauts here feel that this is a bit abstract!”

(PS: Sorry, the updates have been slow these past two days because I was stuck. It took a lot of time to look up information on aerospace, so I can’t just talk about cars. Although this is a cool story, it can’t be too far away from the level of technological logic, otherwise the technology tree below will be difficult to develop, so I’ve delayed the update a bit… I’ll make up for it in the evening.
