Homo sapiens

February 9th.

Li Qingye rarely appeared on the public channel of Homo Sapiens Company.

He appeared at the foundation laying ceremony of the Port Ramon Space City in Medan and delivered a speech on "Based on the Earth and Going to Deep Space" through a television recording.

Port Ramon is located on the eastern coast of Medan, facing the vast Pacific Ocean. The latitude is about 8.5 degrees north latitude, very close to the zero line of the equator, making it a very suitable area for a space launch site.

And because Medan is located near the equatorial windless zone, typhoons that often occur in Southeast Asia rarely land on Medan, which is conducive to space launches.

After appearing on TV, Li Qingye did not leave immediately. Although his position was top secret, there was actually no need to worry too much at this stage.

After all, all the major powers knew that once they attacked Li Qingye, they would all die together.

According to the quarterly defense report published by Homo sapiens, the company is currently equipped with a total of 725 thermonuclear warheads and 224 atomic bombs previously in stock.

And this data, when the Homo sapiens company just officially debuted, there were only 206 thermonuclear warheads and 224 atomic bombs.

The outside world is very worried about this. The Homo sapiens company is frantically expanding its nuclear arsenal at a rate of 200 thermonuclear warheads per quarter.

Faced with the madness of the Homo sapiens company, America has recently restarted some of its heavy water refining plants and is also preparing to expand its nuclear arsenal.

Some old people who have experienced the last century once again recall those days of fear.

Therefore, Li Qingye's safety is relatively high now. As long as they are not determined to die together, the major powers will never dare to use drastic measures to deal with him.

Of course, it is actually difficult for the outside world to pinpoint the elusive Li Qingye.

After all, Homo Sapien Company has a dense subway network and various underground cities. It is very difficult to lock down the management position of Homo Sapien Company.

…

Space City is located 8.6 kilometers south of Puerto Ramon.

After the employees of Manila TV and Homo Sapiens News Corporation completed the recording and broadcasting, they were arranged to go to other parts of the base for interviews.

Li Qingye, accompanied by Jose Garcia, the person in charge of the space city, and Antonio, the chief engineer, visited the final assembly workshop of the Puerto Ramon Space City.

Antonio introduced to him: "Mr. Chairman, since the passivation technology of metallic hydrogen propellant has not been practical, we have temporarily adopted a methane liquid oxygen engine."

"I have read your report before. Have you found the reason for those launch failures?"

Antonio nodded: "It has been checked out. The main reason is that the layout of several sensors is unreasonable, which caused the launch vehicle's computer system to make misjudgments. It has been adjusted now."

Li Qingye turned his head: "Jose, you go and work on the launch mission at noon. Dr. Antonio is here."

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

Jose left the expedition team and went to work on the launch mission at noon today.

Under the leadership of Antonio, Li Qingye entered the assembly workshop.

A large launch vehicle with a height of 113 meters is lying on its side in the workshop, with hundreds of technicians working attentively.

Of course, this is not the launch vehicle being launched today.

If it was a launch vehicle that was about to be launched, Antonio and Jose would not bring Li Qingye to visit.

Although the explosive power of methane and liquid oxygen is not as powerful as that of metallic hydrogen, once it explodes, the power is extraordinary.

The launch vehicle to be launched has already been filled with methane and liquid oxygen, so there are certain risks.

Although this risk was very small, Jose and Antonio did not take it lightly. After all, there had been an accident in Lao Maozi when a launch vehicle exploded at the launch site, blowing several high-level officials at the scene to pieces.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Li Qingye's safety is related to the stability of Homo sapiens company, and cannot be overemphasized.

…

Antonio explained to him in a low voice: "We have determined various data of the ape-eating eagle in the first six test shots."

The large launch vehicle in front of us has a special name within the Homo sapiens company, the "Ape-eating Eagle-class launch vehicle".

This naming method is to distinguish it from the launch vehicles of other forces.

Generally speaking, America and Europa are mainly based on mythological terms, while Lucia is based on scientific terms.

The Homo sapiens company mainly focuses on representative birds where each branch is located.

For example, the ape-eating eagle of the Luzon branch, the fire-backed pheasant of the Siam branch, the green peacock of the Hongsawady branch, the Malayan hornbill of the Malaysia branch, the magpie robin of the Dongba branch, and the Nepalese branch of the branch. The company's nine-colored bird, the Ceylon branch's black-tailed jungle fowl, etc.

As a large launch vehicle, it was named the "Ape-eating Eagle-class".

Li Qingye asked: "How many payloads can be achieved near Earth, synchronization and the moon?"

"The near-Earth weight is 150 tons, the synchronized weight is 100 tons, and the moon weight is 63 tons."

"Not bad! It's almost the same as the Space Exploration Company's Space Launch System launch vehicle."

Antonio smiled and shrugged: "Part of our technology is borrowed from Space Exploration Company."

Antonio is not ashamed of this. The patents in the aerospace field are in name only. The major forces are also very protective of their own aerospace technology and will not allow other forces to intervene in it.

After deciding to develop aerospace technology, Li Qingye asked Chen Jianxiong to set up a technology collection office in the field department, which was responsible for "learning from" the aerospace technology of other forces.

Anyway, all major aerospace bases and aerospace companies around the world have been exposed by the field service department.

When it comes to heavy-lift launch vehicles and super-heavy launch vehicles, there are not many targets that can be used for reference.

For example, Antonio was the former launch vehicle designer of Lucia Space Group, and his teacher also participated in the design of the Proton launch vehicle.

Lucia's aerospace technology can only be described as "technology relies on archeology".

In addition, America has the technology for heavy-lift and super-heavy launch vehicles.

For example, the Saturn V was developed in the 1960s, as well as the Falcon Heavy and the Space Launch System developed by the Space Exploration Company in recent years.

When it comes to space launch systems, many people may feel very unfamiliar.

But many people will probably be very familiar with the project using the Space Launch System launch vehicle, which is NASA's Ace Pigeon project-Artemis project.

The launch vehicle used in the Artemis project is the space launch system "developed" by the Space Exploration Company.

This launch vehicle was actually pieced together by recycling waste. Its engine inherited NASA's space shuttle inventory spare engine, and then after technical integration, the Space Launch System Super Heavy Launch Vehicle was "developed".

NASA has no choice. Fortunately, America has a strong foundation in aerospace technology, otherwise the technology would have been obsolete long ago.

Some time ago, Artemis 1 was finally successfully launched despite the delay.

Although Li Qingye ridiculed the Artemis project as a refurbished machine, he still recognized its technology.

The initial model of the space launch system serves the Constellation Program manned project, so its near-Earth payload is about 70 tons, and it has a thrust of 3,810 tons during launch.

The second-stage cargo model is currently being integrated by the Space Exploration Company. The designed near-Earth payload capacity is about 130 tons, the launch thrust is about 4173 tons, and the height and total weight will be 117 meters and 2948 tons respectively. .

Later, there are plans to develop a model with a near-earth payload of 165 tons.

So Homo sapiens borrowed technology from the Space Launch System launch vehicle and then added its own technology.
