Chapter 242 Bigger(1/2)

"I want to tell you that Fanxing's manned space mission this time is really amazing. I have never seen such a great moon spacecraft!"

"Yes, technology is developing so fast. I feel like I should be able to go to the moon to play in my lifetime."

"Good guy, didn't you say you wanted to go to space to have fun a few days ago? That's how it's going to develop to the moon?"

"Ahem, isn't this practical technology too powerful? I just looked at the aerospace plane, and it left the Moon Spaceship again."

"But it's too early to say these things. They are either during the trial period or specifically connected to national tasks, and they are not something we can access."

"This month is not only lively on the moon, but also on the earth. For example, the Muquan no longer conducts unmanned test flights, but has begun to modify the manned test flights in the future. The practical technology has released some high-definition photos."

"I've also seen it. The dummies inside have flew several times. It seems that the information and data are collected almost the same. We are finally going to carry people. We look forward to it."

"The moon-orbiting astronauts from the Free Federation have returned to Earth, but no matter how the media reported it over there, I can't hold back, haha."

"That's right? The duck I got flew. Not only did this manned moon landing mission give us the lead, but the world's first female moon landing has also fallen to us. The key is that they were so surging in the early publicity, but the result... is that?"

"It is said that the manned moon landing plan on the opposite side is related to next year's command election. Doriko plans to make the Federation great again by using the manned moon landing in the stars first, but now it has become like this. If Doriko is, I will be angry to death."

"Wait, isn't 'Make the Federation great again' Kawata's slogan? How did Toko use Kawata's slogan?"

"Stimulate……"

As expected, the sudden manned moon landing on the stars shocked the world, and then the plan to return to the moon by the Free Federation became an international joke.

Especially their various early publicity and the hype that were very willing to write down all became jokes for themselves in the face.

"laugh."

Whenever I see these news, the federal executives who have attended that meeting will sneer.

If the previous plan is followed, the joint fleet will pass through the southern waters of Fanxing at high speed, cross the strait to Peacock Ocean, and then conduct a second wave of military exercises there.

However, the joint fleet has now begun to slow down, as if it is going to stay in the southern waters for a little while.

In fact, it was the fleet that was negotiating. The new order given by the federal senior executives was to allow the most advanced fighter jets to take off and fly well over the southern waters.

Of course, this place is the southern waters of the stars. They don’t want to really provoke a war, they just promote force, so how to fly is a very skill-test thing.

It also needs to be discussed within the joint fleet based on the on-site situation.

Until then, the stars can enjoy their ignorance.

Afterwards, the Federation will let everyone know that on earth, force is more useful.

Manned moon landing and other things... are all a big deal!

Of course, they should also promote space activities, especially aerospace projects with "miracle" attributes, which are popular with everyone.

Therefore, the Federation also interspersed with a lot of big news about aerospace during the gap between major military exercises.

For example, the cabin section of the first commercial space station in the federal government has been constructed and testing is currently underway and it should be launched early next year.

Then there is the largest rocket on Earth. After receiving huge funding, the starship launch system entered a period of rapid iteration, especially the various departments are no longer stuck, making its R&D speed higher.

If nothing unexpected happens, you will see your first flight into orbit next spring.

Compared with the first cabin segment of the commercial space station, the starship launch system is a real "miracle".

And its appearance actually comes from Emmaron's crazy dream.

At the beginning, Emmaron's R&D team created the Eagle Nine that could be reused. Later, he felt that he was not satisfied and wanted a bigger one.

That is, the later Heavy Eagle Rocket.

It was hailed as the largest launch vehicle in service at that time, with a low-Earth orbit capacity of more than 60 tons. However, due to its complex structure, high flight control risks and small fairings, there has been no suitable launch orders. There were only a few launches in a long time after the successful research and development.

The first launch was carried by a sports car from a brother company, which was considered as the endorsement of Emmalon's own rockets for his car.

The sports car originally destination was Mars, but it deviated from the channel shortly after its launch. Now I don't know where to fly.

Later, Emmaron had a new idea.

Or he didn't give up his own ideas, he just wanted to send things to Mars. Last time it was a sports car, and then he became a human!

But that requires a bigger Rocket!

His initial vision was a Mars immigration transport ship, including a huge "Cigarette Eagle" rocket booster and a "Cigarette Eagle" Mars spacecraft that can carry hundreds of people.

Among them, the "Cigara Eagle" rocket booster is 63 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, and 31 Raptor engines.

The "Cibulous Eagle" Mars spacecraft is 55 meters high, has a diameter of 9 meters, and has 7 Raptor engines.

At that time, the "Cigarette Eagle" was designed to replace all existing launch hardware, including his own Eagle Nine, Heavy Eagle and Dragon spacecraft.

But soon, Emmaron changed his mind again. He felt that going to Mars was not beautiful enough, and he wanted to build a complete set of arrow ship systems to and from Mars.

In theory, it can also travel back and forth between Jupiter and Saturn, and fly suborbital to create an hour-long Earth circle.

If you want to circle around the earth, the previous design is enough. But if you want to go to Jupiter and Saturn, the previous design will be smaller.

So it's even bigger!

The redesigned rocket booster has a diameter of 12 meters, a height of 77.5 meters, and 42 Raptor engines.

The redesigned spacecraft has a diameter of 12 meters, a height of 49.5 meters, 9 Raptor engines, and a maximum capacity of 450 tons.

In order to fly further, it also has to support orbital refueling, so the orbital gas station spacecraft has been redesigned, which can store 150 tons of propellant.

After arriving at Mars, a Mars base was established to synthesize methane and liquid oxygen as propellant.

But not long after, Emmaron changed his mind again.

The booster was renamed "Super Booster" and the spacecraft was renamed "Starship".

The name has been changed, the size has also changed, and more importantly, the material has been changed.

All from carbon fiber composite materials to stainless steel alloys.

His reason is that from ultra-low temperatures in space to high temperatures in the atmosphere, the application strength and mass ratio of all stainless steel hulls is better than that of aerospace materials such as carbon fiber and titanium alloy.

Also cheaper.

The size has been changed, and it was only because the previous 12 meters diameter was too difficult, so it retracted 9 meters in diameter.

Therefore, the first-level "super booster" is 63 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, and 31 Raptor engines.

The second-class starship is 55 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, and has 7 Raptor engines.

The change in the shape of the starship is to add a set of driving fins "up and down" each, a pair of front fins and three tail fins.

Among them, the caudal fin is both a driving fin and a landing shelf.

The abdomen of the starship has been added with a large area, which can adapt to returning to Earth, Moon, Mars and other landing flights.

It can be used as a manned spacecraft or a cargo spacecraft.

Among them, the pressurized space exceeds 1,000 cubic meters, which is larger than the combined pressurized volume of the International Space Station!

Such a big thing looks quite exciting.

But before they could laugh, practical technology gave them something more exciting.

At the beginning, the Practical Science and Technology Space Center had no rocket launch pads and only had a flight runway, which made the Free Federation a serious misjudgment.

Later, the second phase of the Practical Technology Space Center was started. At the beginning, people didn't take it seriously. It was not until intelligent robots appeared on the construction site that everyone was surprised.

Later people discovered that the robots were digging a big hole, and that hole... was a diversion trough of an oversized launch pad.

Practical technology aerospace companies that have always engaged in epoch-making aerospace equipment are also going to develop "backward" rockets?

Some people immediately thought of the huge rockets in "The Wandering 2", which is the main force in building the Navigator International Space Station.

If it is that kind of rocket, then it must be very advanced.

Well, after all, it is a product of practical technology, how can it be behind!

But people only saw the huge diversion trough and simple tower, and did not see the rocket entity, so it is hard to say more.

Until today, the huge factory gate of the Practical Technology Space Center has been opened, and a huge tank body has been pulled out by a car.

Soon, before practical technology could be said, many great masters calculated the size of the two large cans based on the environmental size.

The diameter of the two tanks is 20 meters, the short one is about 30 meters long, the whole is cylindrical, and the long one is about 50 meters. It can be regarded as a bullet that has been magnified countless times.

They are all very solid.

What is this?

Fuel tank or water tower?

Wait...water tower?

This title was previously installed on Emmaron's Super Rocket Starship, because the things welded out of stainless steel are particularly like water towers.

Could it be...

The action of practical technology and aerospace is faster than netizens' speculations. Two large jars were quickly transported to the launch pad, and then a combined stack was completed with the assistance of the crane of the simple launch pad.

Seeing this scene, many people knew that it was the super rocket of the practical technology aerospace company.

It's just that many things have not been installed, such as the engine.

People didn't expect it to be like this, which is somewhat different from the "trailer" in the movie.
To be continued...
