Chapter 356 New Discoveries

12 month 1 day.

The International Committee on Outer Space issued an urgent announcement, stating that due to the impact of force majeure, the International Outer Space Conference has been postponed.

As for when the postponement will be, they didn't say clearly, obviously they were afraid of setting the date, if Dongtang and the others didn't come by then, it would be really embarrassing.

And Johnson and Rhine have already reported the results of the conversation to Mi Li's family and Xizhou Union.

But what they didn't know was that there was a traitor among them, and that was the Sun Nation Space Agency.

Due to the fact that the six major consortiums of the Sun Nation joined the Galaxy Consortium is very secretive, the two sides are in a state of fierce competition in the cooperation. For example, in Southeast Asia, Tuao and other regions, the competition is really fierce, and there are even tit-for-tat situations.

Therefore, the Mili family and the Xizhou Alliance did not take too much precautions against the Sun Nation, so when they discussed some matters, they did not avoid the representatives of the Sun Nation. In this way, some details about the Mi Li family and the others were known to the Galaxy Consortium.

Faced with such a cheating situation, Rhine and Johnson have been hitting a wall everywhere these days. Every time they wanted to raise any conditions or cooperate, they were refuted by Zhao Hongxing terribly.

Rhine and Johnson's melancholy is like the water of the Yangtze River, especially Johnson, he is the most bitter, because he is Belgian, if he is not the chairman of the Outer Space Committee, he would not come here to accept this bird crime.

the other side.

Bazhong Base.

Li Zhongting sent a test report to Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others. This test report is a comprehensive test report of No. 001, No. 003, and No. 005 of the Xuanwu class.

Universe Development Committee, inside the internal holographic meeting room.

"Judging from the test results, the overall problem of the spacecraft is not serious, and three locations have been detected to be aging. They are the main engine nozzle F136 area, which is slightly deformed; the heat insulation layer G76 area and G164 area on the top of the spacecraft have the first layer. The heat insulation layer was burnt through." Li Zhongting pointed to the report and explained to everyone.

"The engine nozzles of the Xuanwu-class No. 002 and No. 004 in the Kaohsiung base are deformed. I read your report, and your No. 001 and No. 005 also have this problem. It seems to be a common problem." Wang Tu said with a frown. .

"Indeed, I think there may be a problem in the F136 area of ​​the engine nozzle. We have ordered the R&D department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of this location and strive to solve this problem as soon as possible." Li Zhongting agreed with Wang Tu.

After all, among the six airships, four of them had engine nozzle deformation. This is definitely not an isolated phenomenon, and they must pay attention to it.

Wang Tu then clicked on the heat insulation layer on the top of the spacecraft and said: "The partial area of ​​the first layer of heat insulation layer was burnt through, which appeared in No. 003 and No. 006 of the Xuanwu class. It is very likely that there is an error in the processing of the material. .”

"This problem is actually very easy to solve." Wang Guanghai said suddenly.

"Oh? Old Wang, what suggestion do you have?" Li Zhongting asked hastily.

"You are fans of the authorities. That hybrid gel is a very good heat insulation material. The Qinglong class I am in charge of has now switched to this hybrid gel. I found that this hybrid gel is really a good thing." Wang Guanghai said while turning One document is sent to all.

Everyone hurriedly opened the documents sent by Wang Guanghai, among which Li Zhongting paid the most attention. After careful study, he realized that he had underestimated the mixed gel.

"It's unbelievable that the thickness of the heat insulation layer can be reduced by 80%, the weight can be reduced by 60%, the heat insulation effect is 6 to 7 times that of the previous one, and it can withstand the limit temperature of 1.4 degrees Celsius." Zhao Hongxing exclaimed.

"Not only that, but its strength is also astonishing, about 80% stronger than high-strength titanium alloys, and it has a very strong blocking effect on cosmic rays." Wang Guanghai said with a smile.

"Have you tested it? I mean cosmic ray isolation?" Li Zhongting asked urgently.

"Of course, such an important matter, how could I miss it, 1 mm thickness of mixed gel is equivalent to about 23 mm of lead plate, 3.2 mm thickness reaches the maximum value, equivalent to 267 mm thickness of lead plate, and then increase Thickness, the effect of cosmic ray isolation is not significantly improved." Wang Guanghai explained.

Li Zhongting shook his head and smiled wryly: "Mr. Huang is simply a genius. The thing he invented at random not only solves the problem of sealing vacuum pipes, but is also so useful for heat insulation, cosmic ray isolation, and component assembly."

"However, neutron rays only have an isolation effect of about 20%, and gamma rays only have an isolation effect of about 3%, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment!" Wang Guanghai called out the data and said.

"Old Wang, don't be greedy. Now this effect is already the strongest among the materials known to mankind, and the ray-blocking material is the strongest." Li Zhongting scolded with a smile.

"In this case, we will change the material of the heat insulation layer to hybrid gel, and coat the spacecraft with a 3.2mm hybrid gel film, which can reduce a lot of radiation insulation." Wang Tu said.

"I agree, but there is no need to make major changes to No. 001 to No. 006 of the Xuanwu class. After all, we have a lot of tasks to do next, so a layer of coating will be enough." Zhao Hongxing suggested.

"Okay, that's the decision." Li Zhongting nodded in agreement.

After they discussed the details, Wang Tu changed the subject: "Due to the breakthrough made by the Airship Research Institute's vacuum airship, the latest circular airship, Type A-30, can already maintain a flight altitude at an altitude of about 96 kilometers. Our It is no longer necessary for the space station to stay in a 160-kilometer low-Earth orbit."

"Is that the kind of airship that uses vacuum instead of hydrogen?" Zhao Hongxing asked.

"Speaking of which, the success of this vacuum airship is due to the mixed gel material. The vacuum capsule is made of mixed gel." Wang Tu explained with a smile.

"This material is amazing, it is a universal material." Li Zhongting admired it.

"Let's get down to business, the new Kaohsiung Space Station will complete its orbital lift on December 12, raising the orbital height to around 3 kilometers in low-Earth orbit." Wang Tu planned to speak out.

"Then you should go up to orbit first. We need to study the orbit up plan of the Xinbazhong space station." Zhao Hongxing didn't want to act so hastily.

Wang Tu nodded: "Yes, if you want to upgrade, please send us a notice."

"No problem, after you ascend to orbit, we will launch Xuanwu-class 001 and send two space station cabins up." Zhao Hongxing said the plan of Dongtang Space Bureau.

"when?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th."

"By the way, representatives from the Outer Space Committee and Hans' family are still in Bazhong Aerospace City?" Wang Tu asked suddenly.

Zhao Hongxing nodded: "Still, they still want to visit the launch of No. 4, and I agree."

"They still want to buy mass projectors?"

"Yes."

Wang Tu curled his lips and shook his head and said, "These two guys are just trailblazers, the Lord is really calm."

"They don't want to come, so let's drag it down slowly, and see who can't sit still?" Zhao Hongxing said indifferently.

As Zhao Hongxing said, Dongtang and the Yinhe Consortium are not in a hurry now, the longer the delay, the better for themselves.

The ones who should be really worried are Mi Li's family, Xizhou League, and Mao Xiong.

As Dongtang and the Yinhe Consortium's aerospace scale is getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Hongxing doesn't believe that these guys will be indifferent. If they are really indifferent, Dongtang and the Yinhe Consortium will be happier.
