Movie black technology

Chen Shen opened the design drawing and began to take a closer look. The overall layout of this space shuttle looks very flat. The whole machine is in a triangular configuration with fused wings and body. The driver's activity space is in the middle part of the whole machine.

From the outside, the height of the wings from the middle of the fuselage to both sides gradually decreases, and the edges are flat, like a science fiction concept aircraft. Compared with the shape of the Tibetan antelope, the streamlined design of this aircraft is more in line with what people think about aircraft the concept of.

However, the height of its internal space is shorter than that of the Tibetan antelope, with an average height of only about 1.9 meters, and in many places it is only slightly taller than an ordinary person.

But relatively, its width is much larger than that of Tibetan Antelope.

The narrowest part of the internal space is also eight meters, and the widest is fourteen meters. If measured from the outside, the wingspan reaches 38 meters. Even if the height is slightly lower, it looks like a complete behemoth.

Chen Shen continued to look down, saw the internal code name of the plane, and couldn't help being taken aback.

【Devil fish】

Combined with its low height and wide wingspan, this code name is quite appropriate.

"The maximum take-off weight is 70 tons, the maximum load capacity is 6 tons, and the maximum range is 50,000 kilometers. The whole aircraft also uses only one set of plasma propulsion units, that is, four plasma thrusters."

After reading the demonstration process of these data, Chen Shen also had to admit that compared with the Tibetan antelope, which basically has no aerodynamic configuration, this devil ray is more suitable for using plasma batteries as energy sources.

The wasted capacity of vertical take-off and landing is indeed too large. In contrast, horizontal take-off and landing can provide greater lift and bring more load.

However, horizontal take-off and landing is not without cost. Compared with the Tibetan antelope, the operation and deployment of the devil ray during take-off and landing will be more complicated, the probability of risk is also greater, and the daily maintenance work has also increased significantly.

But these problems are nothing compared to the load it can bring.

Non-nuclear power can transport six tons of load to space, and there is a cargo compartment exit at the bottom, which can perfectly undertake various satellite launch tasks, similar to foreign space shuttles, as long as they fly to the predetermined orbit and reach the corresponding speed, the satellite will be ejected from the cargo compartment Deployment is complete.

Coupled with the maximum range of 50,000 kilometers, even if the load will shrink when the load is heavy, it is enough.

Chen Shen has no opinion on the aerodynamic configuration of this plane. After all, this configuration must have been blown through the wind tunnel, and he dare not say that it is better than the wind tunnel in this respect.

He just took out the part of the plasma thruster and looked at it, and then focused on the materials used in the various parts of the aircraft.

There is no problem with the part of the propulsion unit. After all, it is a modular product. As long as it can work normally, the thrust provided will not change, and then it only needs to be placed in the right position.

In terms of materials, he also pointed out several components, suggesting that they can try new materials used in previous projects.

After so many projects, he can be considered in the field of materials by analogy. The various new materials provided by the system have been contacted and studied, and his understanding of these materials is deeper than ordinary people.

In addition to this, the devil ray, like the Tibetan antelope, also has a nuclear-powered version.

The main task site of the conventionally powered stingray is in Earth orbit, while the nuclear-powered version of the stingray is naturally aimed at the Earth-moon orbit.

In the goal of the lunar development plan, there is no airport on the moon, and it is impossible for the stingray to land on the moon. Therefore, the goal of the nuclear-powered stingray is to transport goods to the moon.

The main function of the nuclear-powered Tibetan Antelope has been adjusted to the position of the manned lunar landing vehicle, and the transportation of lunar cargo is only its secondary function.

According to the current idea, the cargo carried by the devil ray is mainly bulk cargo, such as construction machinery and equipment or plates needed for the construction of various lunar bases, which will be sent to the moon by high-altitude airborne.

And these facilities are either self-powered, or have been loaded on the vehicle before departure, and the astronauts can directly board the vehicle and drive back to the base after landing.

The Tibetan antelope is in charge of small and easy-to-package goods, and goes to the moon with the astronauts.

In this way, the construction of the lunar base will be greatly accelerated.

Chen Shen also has no objection to this design concept. The regular version of the stingray is done, and the nuclear power version is naturally done.

And he also looked at the people in charge of these two projects, Tang Huacong and Ding Zhiyi, who were old acquaintances who had worked with him to develop the Tibetan antelope.

Coupled with the previous handover of domestic space shuttle research data, this devil ray should not have too many problems.

After writing suggestions for the two documents, Chen Shen sealed them and sent them back to the original place.

By the way, I also asked for the newspapers of the recent period, planning to read the news outside.

In this laboratory, contact with the outside world has almost been interrupted, and only newspapers can still come in.

The biggest news in the newspaper is that another Tibetan antelope has been added to the country.

Chen Shen counted and knew that this must be a nuclear-powered Tibetan antelope.

If it was just a regular edition, it wouldn't be in the newspaper at all.

The other party must have a basic understanding of this matter.

Although they don't know that the Tibetan Antelope has plasma battery and nuclear power versions, they also know that the Tibetan antelope that can land on the moon is different from the Tibetan antelope that can only fly in low-Earth orbit.

So something must have been in the news recently.

Continuing to trace back, Chen Shen quickly saw the cause of the incident.

The opposite side actually restarted the manufacturing plan of the Saturn V moon landing rocket, and at the same time increased the research on atmospheric plasma propulsion. The research funds have skyrocketed from the original 50 billion to 500 billion, and even the recyclable rocket has been chased. Invested tens of billions.

Even the space shuttle is on their minds for a restart.

After all, compared with the Saturn V, it is more convenient to start the space shuttle project, which has only been completely retired for more than ten years, at least it will be faster to find information from the pile of old papers.

Let alone whether this strength will be effective, at least it can be clearly felt, and their determination has increased compared to before.

With this package of aerospace plans, the opponents have already bet at least one trillion dollars on the space race. The most intuitive effect is that the opposite aerospace-related stocks have skyrocketed. They are living in a dream these days.

As soon as the big move on the opposite side came out, even the global aerospace market was optimistic, and it rose together.

Only in China is a little exception, the Tibetan Antelope above the head is simply an eternal god, any hot-headed person will calm down when seeing the Tibetan Antelope.

Ordinary rockets are not competitive at all with the Tibetan Antelope.

However, Chen Shen is just watching these things now. He still has to wait for the cell cultivation in the laboratory, and he cannot leave the base for the time being.
