"Boom!..." in the sky, a huge space plane is landing, and according to the model of the space plane, it is obvious that the space plane is not the model produced by Tiangong technology.
Yes, today''s human civilization, after three years of development, at this time, the companies or space agencies that can produce space shuttles are not limited to Tiangong technology.
In addition to the Phoenix series of Tiangong technology, the official finally developed an aerospace aircraft with the joint efforts of R & D personnel.
At the same time, the bald eagle and polar bear have been able to produce aerospace aircraft.
However, in terms of performance, there is a very big gap between the space shuttle of the official or other space agencies in the world and Tiangong technology.
Take the flying feather 21 space plane, which is landing. Although the volume of the space plane is much larger than that of the Phoenix kt1, and even is about to reach that of the Phoenix kt2 hick, it is far from comparable to the Phoenix kt1 of Tiangong technology in terms of load and other performance.
After all, as an aerospace aircraft, its total weight is always the most important factor to measure the performance of the aircraft.
According to the official data, the maximum takeoff weight of this flying feather 21 space plane has reached nearly 300 tons. However, at most, it can only send about five tons of materials and six astronauts to low earth orbit. As for the middle orbit, this space plane does not have the carrying capacity. Even an empty plane cannot reach the middle orbit, Not to mention the medium high orbit.
However, there is still a big gap between this space shuttle and the Phoenix series of Tiangong technology, but its performance is the strongest compared with other space agencies in the world.
Take the Saturn 8 space plane developed by the bald eagle in the past two years. Its maximum takeoff weight is more than 300 tons, and its length is more than 80 meters.
However, it can only send up to three tons of goods and three astronauts into low earth orbit, and it does not have the ability to navigate in medium and high orbit.
In addition, for the Arctic country''s cold winter 40 aerospace aircraft, its total weight is only two tons, and it can only carry two astronauts.
From here, we can see how big the gap between these space agencies and Tiangong science and technology is.
However, this is only on the surface. If you really observe it carefully, you will find that in fact, many things on these aerospace aircraft are unique products of Tiangong technology. Except for Tiangong technology, no company or organization on earth can produce them.
For example, the engines used in these aerospace aircraft, especially the detonation pulse rocket engine.
That is to say, without the engines of Tiangong technology, most of these space shuttles cannot go to heaven. Even the official space agencies with the largest R & D Progress in this field can confidently produce pulse detonation rocket engines with the help of Tiangong technology in recent years, but they have developed and produced their own engines, Its mass and thrust can not be compared with that of Tiangong technology, even Tiangong-1 pulse detonation rocket engine.
But even so, it has been a great progress for officials, because it shows that in addition to Tiangong technology''s ability to produce aerospace aircraft engines, they are also the only organization that can produce aerospace aircraft engines on the whole earth.
However, in any case, today''s organizations capable of producing aerospace aircraft are no longer just Tiangong technology.
At the same time, this is what Tiangong technology is very happy to see.
However, in fact, Wang Bin is still very confused. Even he vaguely feels that all space agencies in the world have collectively discussed things.
That is, although all major space agencies have built interstellar airports for taking off and landing space shuttles, the scale of these airports is very small. It''s great to hear about three or five space shuttles.
Therefore, since the beginning of the earth defense plan, major space agencies have directly transferred various aerospace related industries. For example, X aerospace company has immediately purchased a large area of land in the desert and started to build relevant factories since the beginning of the earth defense plan.
Even the most important database of their company has been moved here, and their own aerospace aircraft production base has also been put here.
It can be seen from here that the major space agencies have agreed. The desert has definitely been regarded as the core area of the whole plan and will be used as the Space Center for the earth to fly to space in the future.
This also makes Chinese people very excited.
After all, everyone knows that there is the most important Aerospace Center on the earth, which will definitely greatly drive the economy of the whole China, especially for the central and western regions.
This can be seen from the cargo throughput of major domestic ports and the increasingly busy railway and highway network in recent years.
At the same time, because of this, the desert Space Center is also busy at this time, and the number of permanent residents is also increasing at an amazing rate.
Of course, compared with the resident population, more people come to the desert Aerospace Center at this time.
After all, every day there are dozens of space planes taking off from here to the universe to send the materials and personnel needed by the space station.
At the same time, with the increasing prosperity of the great desert Space Center, the demand for electricity in the whole great desert Space Center is starving. Before, they could still provide electricity through a large number of solar power plants.
However, with the substantial increase of factories, the power generated by solar power plants has been unable to supply, and the consumption of the whole Aerospace Center has been reduced.
However, today''s Tiangong technology has mastered relatively mature controllable nuclear fusion technology. Therefore, since last year, large-scale controllable nuclear fusion power plants have been built less than 100 kilometers away from the great desert Space Center. If this large-scale controllable nuclear fusion power station is completed, then the great desert Space Center, You don''t have to worry about electricity anymore.
Because, according to the design and planning, this nuclear power plant is a very large controllable nuclear fusion power plant. Its reactor core diameter has reached more than 300 meters, and the weight of the whole core has reached tens of thousands of tons. After completion, the annual maximum power generation can reach the sum of the power generation of several Three Gorges power stations.
