Chapter 1036 Air Show on Star Ring City

8days ago Celebrity fiction 15
Under Jiang Chen's instruction, Future Renhe Industrial integrated its twenty industrial space stations in Xinghuan City, and gathered a technical team involved in the design of the Seagull, established a subsidiary called Xinguo No. 1 Shipyard, and began the production of the second Seagull.

The second transport ship is still the Aerospace Department of Star Ring Trade, but the newly ship will not design a cabin, but a cargo type with relatively low technical content.

At present, Guanghan City cannot accommodate too many passengers, and expanding flights will only lead to indigestion.

The mission of this transport ship will mainly engage in the transportation of rare earth ore.

The lunar soil rich in rare earths will be sent to Xinghuan City for processing, and then the processed finished ore will be sent to the earth and sent to the international market by the future Mining Industry.

When the new 500,000-ton transport ship was launched, all the small boats used to transport rare earth mines could be withdrawn. The capacity of the five electric ray C-1s to travel back and forth twice is even better than that of the Shanghai Owl, and it cannot fly much faster.

These electric rays C-1s that were removed from the route will be sent back to the shipyard on Star Ring City, unload the transportation module and replaced it with the mining module, and handle it at a low price to the future people and mining industry, and join the vast army of asteroid mining.

Speaking of this newly shipped transport, there is also a small episode.

After learning about Jiang Chen's naming level without any technical content, Kelwin said that he would not ask Jiang Chen to name the new ship.

It would be better to say that he simply did not mention this matter with Jiang Chen. After discussing with the technical team, he simply wrote the three big words "Hailong" on the hull, and then wrote them into the report and sent them to Jiang Chen's desk.

It doesn't matter if you name it. It's okay if Kelvin doesn't mention it, but if you mention Jiang Chen, you will find it troublesome. Anyway, he doesn't plan to leave his name on the transport ship.

Anyone who can match his name must be an aircraft carrier-level interstellar giant ship of tens of millions of tons or above. He would rather give his name to his descendants than just a transport ship.

However, after learning the name of the transport ship, Jiang Chen was a little amused.

History is always surprisingly similar. The prototype of the Red River engine is the Pan-Asian cooperation Flying Shuttle 07 engine, and the Baikong 07 that the White Whale Expedition Station caught from the sea fell from the Hailong of the Pan-Asian cooperation in the future.

Now this new ship not only inherits the engine of Pan-Asia cooperation, but also the name of the ship that has crashed in the future.

Even Jiang Chen, who never believed in any ghosts and gods, couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of will.

……

Shortly after the flight from Star Ring City to Guanghan City was opened, SpaceX and other space companies participated in the design of the Apollo X1 in the United States. After dismantling it into dozens of containers, it was transported to the port of Anga Island by sea. After several twists and turns, it arrived at the warehouse rented by SpaceX in Star Ring City, and after simple processing, it was completed.

According to the cooperation agreement signed between SpaceX and Star Ring Trade, the reborn Apollo will participate in the transportation route between Star Ring City and Guanghan City after passing the safety qualification inspection.

Transport rare earths from Guanghan City to Xinghuan City, and then bring crops and daily necessities on the earth to Guanghan City.

I don’t know if it is to pay tribute to a certain movie, the main structure of this Apollo X1 is designed into a semicircular shape.

Compared with the long striped design of the Russian Oleg official account, this design has the advantage of being more flexible in steering and higher safety factors. The disadvantages are mainly reflected in the maintenance costs of the engines parallelly distributed at the tail end and the manufacturing costs of the spacecraft themselves.

In addition to Apollo X1, the Russian Oleg official account that Jiang Chen had seen in Moscow was also involved in the transportation project.

The 200,000-ton design is a whole circle larger than the Apollo X1, and its capacity is a little higher.

However, compared with the 500,000-ton Seagull, both of them appear to be a little pocket-sized in scale.

Whether it is the United States or Russia, these two traditional space powers do not yet have the ability to produce 500,000-ton spacecraft.

The ship design is okay, but the two technical difficulties of engine and power source are obstacles that they cannot overcome no matter what.

Perhaps they have more experience in the aerospace industry, but this can no longer be solved by experience.

In addition to the two traditional aerospace powers, the Changchun, independently developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, also participated in the route from Xinghuan City to Guanghan City.

Except for the engine of this freight spacecraft named after the city, which uses the RM-320 engine purchased from Future Renhe Industrial at a high price, the rest of the other parts were independently designed by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In terms of appearance, this transport ship is also very Chinese.

The mining speed of iron, aluminum, titanium ore and rare earth resources in Guanghan City has far exceeded the transportation capacity between Guanghan City and Xinghuan City. For Jiang Chen, the more people participate in the space transportation industry, the better, otherwise it will be useless if the things are mined and cannot be sold.

According to Jiang Chen's estimate, at least 50 transport ships above 100,000 tons have to be filled in the route from Xinghuan City to Guanghan City.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Except for the new country, there are only three countries that are capable of producing large transport ships of more than 100,000 tons.

Although Japan, which ranks fourth in aerospace technology, has participated in the design of the Apollo X1 observation system and navigation system, it still does not have the ability to independently produce a 100,000-ton spacecraft.

India, ranked fifth, is ambitiously preparing to design a 500,000-ton spacecraft that can be comparable to the Seagull. However, they have not figured out how to make it move after designing the hull.

It was soon mid-May, and Xinghuan Trade held the first Xinghuan Aerospace Science and Technology Expo in Xinghuan City.

If it weren't for Jiang Shuying's reminder, Jiang Chen would have almost forgotten it.

In the future, Renhe Industrial will have twelve products that will appear in the air show, seven of which are exported products, and five are just for other aerospace companies to be greedy for, and in principle they will not be sold to the public.

For example, the electric ray X-1 series aircraft that shocked countless foreign friends were exhibiting the P-1 mining type and the C-1 transportation type that had been eliminated at the air show.

Such events have been held every year since 2019.

The significance of holding such an event is mainly to support other aerospace companies and find buyers for their products.

If you find something that can be used, Star Ring Trade will also purchase some at the air show.

To be honest, Jiang Chen did see a lot of interesting things at the air show, but he did not interfere in the procurement matters and gave them all rights to the people from the Aerospace Department to handle them. Only they know what they really need in space.

Jiang Shuying accompanied Jiang Chen to attend the air show. As soon as the two appeared in front of the public, they became the focus of the air show.

From the beginning of the air show, a large group of people surrounded him and asked questions. The business card in his pocket was sent out in a short while, and he even stuffed a bunch of business cards with the word "Wanguo" in his hand.

What made Jiang Chen laugh and cry the most was that he found that he, a living person, had actually stolen the limelight of the Electric Ray X-1.

It's simply putting the cart before the horse.
