Chapter 49 This is a high-tech monkey
Xu Xingchenjue's design of the Express 21 simple single-ship launch vehicle in front of him is very good...
But Xu Xingchen soon felt that this design obviously did not conform to Neptune's personality, especially the escape pod.
If it is a Neptune design, you should not want that kind of thing at all. Just weld it on a chair and pull it up.
At most, the chair design is a bit cooler, such as making it into a frozen throne or something, adding a parachute bag is the limit.
Although this guy is an electronic reconnaissance ship, it should be a fine and careful style in theory, but in fact the design style is always simple and crude.
So Xu Xingchen looked at Neptune with a bright look:
"Is this Express 21 type launch equipment designed by my second sister?"
Neptune immediately stuck out her tongue:
"Okay, I've seen through it. I admit that it was indeed the design completed by my second sister, but of course the creativity is mine. My second sister just made a concrete implementation..."
Xu Xingchen immediately stretched out his hands and rubbed Neptune's hair vigorously and said:
"Of course you have made a contribution, but my second sister's design is more important. With the protective shell and escape pod, this thing is much safer than your original plan."
Neptune holds his head with both hands:
"Stop rubbing, stop rubbing, rub your hair and stand up."
Xu Xingchen smiled and let her go:
"Start the test as soon as possible. If everything goes well, it will be the standard equipment for a small number of ship girls to go to space in the future..."
Neptune immediately smiled and nodded, took out a remote control from his pocket, and controlled the rocket chassis of Express 21 to move forward.
The chassis didn't go far from the warehouse, so it stopped in the small square in front of the warehouse, lowered its gripping legs to fix the chassis.
The drive on the rocket bracket rotates, slowly lifting the two rockets upwards, adjusting them from flat to upright.
Then Neptune pressed the remote control button, and the two rockets immediately spit out flames, and with the small cabin sandwiched in the middle, they rose straight into the sky.
Xu Xingchen and other ship girls looked up at the smaller and smaller rockets, and were at a loss.
Xu Xingchen looked at Neptune with a confused look on his face:
"Just launching directly?"
Neptune nodded for granted:
"That's how it's launched..."
Xu Xingchen felt that his impression of aerospace was once again subverted:
"No, there are no special scientific researchers looking at various instruments and equipment, there is no special observation of remote control ships and equipment, and there is no countdown preparation or anything else. Just pressing a button and it will be launched like a missile?"
Neptune shook his head gently and explained:
"It's actually much simpler than launching missiles.
"Missiles also need to find and lock targets, find enough hidden trajectories, consider the type of targets they strike, and do end maneuvers to avoid the opponent's air defense weapons.
"For the Express 21 launch vehicle in front of us, none of these are needed.
"Even the remote control equipment and orbital adjustment equipment required by conventional rockets, we don't need it.
"Even communication equipment is not allowed, just let the ship girl in the cabin be responsible.
"The mission logic of this launch device is very simple. It flies to an altitude of 200 kilometers at a relatively fixed angle, opens the hatch door and lets the ship girl come out, and the mission is completed.
"To put it bluntly, this thing is a high-tech monkey, and its structure is simpler than that of a long-range rocket launcher."
Xu Xingchen was stunned for a long time after hearing this explanation.
I heard Neptune say that this rocket is for rapid launch, so it is called a express rocket. It said that the launch process is very simple and there is no requirement for the site.
I was also mentally prepared, but I really didn't expect that this thing could be so simple.
Gu Yuan
Just at the door of the warehouse, it flew directly at the press of the button, just like a monkey who flew around.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the functional logic of this thing.
It is just a high-tech monkey. Just fly up and you'll be done, and you don't have to worry about anything else.
Therefore, the cost of this thing is mostly not much different from that of long-range rocket launchers...
Its load is theoretically only about 100 kilograms, but there is a ship girl inside. The cabin capacity of the ship girl is at a level that starts at 100 tons and cannot be beaten by 100 tons...
The cost of using a long-range rocket launcher has sent over 10,000 tons of payloads to space...
The entire aerospace industry on Earth can only be scared and scared.
As for the issue of returning, it must be that the return capsule is installed in the cabin of the ship girl. When the ship girl wants to come back, she will unfold the hull and take it out, and restore the ship's status to use it himself.
In fact, more often, spaceship girls should set off directly from the space base and take a space glider to return to the ground.
But if you need to go deeper, the expansion of the ship girl's hull must involve space technology. A space base of 26,000 cubic meters is extremely costly.
I am actually using higher-level technology to achieve tasks in a low-level technology environment, which is to some extent wasteful resources.
But there is nothing I can do about it. There is technology lock in my world. I just unlocked the technology of the Shipwoman military port equipment...
If you want to explain the design and manufacturing technology related to the ship girl's body, you don't know when and what conditions will be met.
The only direction at present is to move forward step by step according to the so-called "tasks" given by the system.
Fortunately, most of these tasks are exploring the ladders related to the Star Sea, and this is what you want to do, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable.
While Xu Xingchen was dazed and imagining, Neptune waited for the return signal of the "Sky Monkey" and was very able to announce loudly to Xu Xingchen and the ship girls:
"I have received the message that the Express 21 rocket has reached an altitude of 200 kilometers, and its first launch has been successful, so we can try a manned launch next..."
Xu Xingchen immediately reacted and continued to maintain a steady state and said:
"Don't worry, carefully check the returned information, play back the entire launch process, confirm that there are no problems, launch again three times, and there are no abnormal problems, and then conduct a manned launch experiment..."
Neptune's excited expression immediately collapsed:
"It's so troublesome..."
Xu Xingchen stretched out his hand and rubbed Neptune's dog head angrily:
"If you ask you to do it, I'm not thinking about you? Aerospace engineering is not a small matter, if something happens, it will be a big accident."
Neptune reluctantly agreed with his head:
"Okay, okay, I'll produce three more rockets now, and launch them all in one breath today..."
Xu Xingchen frowned again:
"You launched all in one go. How to verify the data point problem? You should launch one to verify one!"
Neptune immediately explained:
"It is basically impossible for our experiment to have problems. If you want me to launch a few more, it is nothing more than looking at the success rate.
"The probability of launching together and launching separately is the same in a single rocket itself. We can just look at the final data."
Xu Xingchen did not come:
"Okay, okay, then you go and do it. Remember, as long as there is a problem with any of the three, manned launches are not allowed. If the problem is solved, three experimental rockets will be re-launched. Only after confirming that there is no problem can people be carried..."
Neptune replied helplessly:
"I understand! Commander's mother-in-law!"
Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that this guy said that he was as long-winded as an old woman, so he couldn't bear it anymore.
Chapter completed!
