Chapter 148 Preparing to Land on the Moon
It has been more than half a month since he came back from the last sea trial, and he has been staying in his fief for more than half a month, dealing with various matters, including the factory in the fief and the Suzaku army. Can be described as very busy.
During this period, the second and third production lines of plasma thrusters were completed one after another. In addition to these two production lines, the first production line of large-scale marine plasma thrusters has also been completed.
The production line of ordinary ion thrusters is completely copied from the first production line, and things are very simple. Except for the special metals and machine tools above that need to be produced by his factory, all other equipment are ordered from outside. , All ordinary equipment must be produced by itself, so it is much easier to order from outside because there is no time.
After all, it is impossible for a production line to make all the failures of special metals. In terms of precision, although the domestic factories can't reach the precision produced in his own factory, they can barely be used. Although this production line is said to be copied from the first production line, it has also been redesigned. Except for some important equipment, the rest of the entire production line has been replaced with ordinary equipment.
And the large-scale marine plasma thruster production line actually started to be developed before the large-scale plasma thruster came out, so within a few days after the large-scale ion thruster was developed, the production line of the large-scale plasma thruster was also installed. After a few days of debugging, the production line of this plasma thruster is ready for production, and the monthly output is also acceptable. If the production is uninterrupted for 24 hours, the monthly output can reach more than 150 units.
For large-scale plasma thrusters, such an output is already very amazing, but this output is still too low for the current Ming Empire, even if the Ming Empire produces tens of thousands of large-scale plasma thrusters every month, it is absolutely impossible. Can use up.
Of course, there are also ultra-small plasma thrusters. These miniature plasma thrusters are all used as steering gears for spacecraft. After all, it is impossible to use the power of air to steer in the universe like on the earth.
Another is to provide propulsion for some specific weapons, such as some small and ultra-small missiles. Of course, these ultra-small plasma thrusters are also used as power devices for some small space probes.
The monthly output of these plasma thrusters is very high, and can produce as many as 5000 units per month, but such a high output is still far from enough for now.
In addition to the production line of plasma propulsion, the design of cargo aerospace vehicle and miniature personal flying vehicle has been completed, but the manufacturing has not started yet, because he plans to wait for a while before starting to manufacture these flying vehicles.
Because it is a waste to manufacture these aircraft now, and of course it cannot be said that it is a waste or useful, but it does not have much impact on the overall situation. He plans to use the Suzaku-[-] and Type-[-] aerospace vehicles for the time being, and wait until the first After the completion of the Plane War, large-scale manufacturing began. At present, the most important thing is military aircraft. After all, it won't be long before the construction of the Plane Portal is completed.
The most important thing now is to fully produce military weapons and equipment, and currently only the plasma thrusters produced by their factory can provide lasting and powerful power in space, so his factory is currently doing its best to equal the thrusters, and these produced plasmas The thrusters will be transported away in a moment.
The Moon Palace project is also proceeding very smoothly. The first manned moon landing will be carried out in a few days, and the main purpose of this moon landing is to build a lunar base, and the main purpose of building a lunar base is to For the various mineral resources on the moon.
And this manned moon landing is not like sending only one aerospace vehicle in the past. This time, the Ming Empire decided to send a full 12 aerospace vehicles to carry out large-scale moon landing operations. Most of these 12 aerospace vehicles are A line of Suzaku aerospace vehicles, but there are also three Suzaku-[-] aerospace vehicles inside.
Due to the large-scale moon landing of the Ming Empire, and this moon landing is not an ordinary moon landing, but to establish a permanent moon base on the moon, so the personnel who landed on the moon this time are also There are a lot of people, reaching more than 100 people, and this time, in addition to the pilots of these aerospace vehicles, there are also scientific workers, and there are also ordinary technical workers in it.
Because the construction of the lunar base this time is not the construction of a space station. The construction of the space station uses modular installation when there is no other way. Moreover, the size of the space station is not very large, but even so, the construction of the space station is It's very slow. After all, all the people building the space station are first-class astronauts, but after all, they are not professional technical workers, so the efficiency is definitely much worse than that of technical workers. Therefore, the space station has only been built half way. A little more, if this space station had been installed by professional technical workers, then the construction of this space station might have been completed long ago. After all, there are people who specialize in technology. The work efficiency of the astronauts who are now building the space station may not even be as high as those with professional skills. Not even half the staff.
But the moon base is not comparable to a small space station. On the moon, the Ming Empire plans to build a huge mining base, so technicians are definitely indispensable. After all, to build such a large moon base, if you don’t use professional As for the technical personnel, with the work efficiency of the astronauts, it will not be until the year of the monkey when the base construction is completed, and the quality of the things they build is definitely incomparable with the quality of the projects built by professional technicians.
Although the construction of the lunar base this time also uses modular construction, professional technicians are indispensable no matter how modular the construction is, and this construction also uses a large number of new construction equipment. In fact, these equipment and The ones on the earth are almost the same, except that these equipments have life support systems and air-conditioning systems. Even if the personnel do not wear spacesuits in these equipments, there is no problem. Be comfortable and safe.
All these equipments are powered by gold batteries, and the power system also adopts an all-electric drive scheme. After all, this is the moon, and most of the power sources on the earth are unusable, whether it is a gasoline engine or a diesel engine. It depends on oxygen to burn, but it is different from electricity.
