Chapter 848

As for the manufacturing work, now Lei Tiantang is basically not involved. Kuafu's manufacturing capacity is strong enough. It took Kuafu less than two months to complete all the three spaceships to be tested. If he had made it, this test could have been carried out.

However, the spacecraft they want to test is mainly to verify whether the relevant design and technology are reasonable, but also to test whether the performance of industrial products can cope with the complex environment in the universe.

These data need to be verified by experiments before they can be confirmed. Therefore, in this test, only two spaceships were built in this test, and they did not follow the standard test process of manufacturing at least four at a time.

Moreover, not all the three spaceships tested in this test are fully equipped, because some components do not need to be tested, and some have been verified by the laboratory on the space station. In order to save time, these components are not installed.

After all, this test is the first test. There is no need to be so complicated. After the test, we don't know how many parts need to be changed. The more components are installed, the more trouble it will be to change them. It is not too late to install these components that do not need testing until the design is basically finalized.

"Do you think the shape of the three spaceships we designed is a little low?" After arriving at the new underground base specially built for the spaceship, Lei Tian Tang saw the 6 spacecraft on the ground quietly, but he still couldn't help make complaints about it.

Indeed, the three spaceships in front of us all seem to have nothing to do with the spaceships in those sci-fi movies. In addition to reflecting a strong sense of industrial manufacturing, the appearance of these three spaceships has no beauty.

The three spaceships adopt two design schemes. One is a spaceship similar to an aircraft, but it does not have the wings of an aircraft. Instead, it is equipped with four super ion engines that can rotate 360 degrees in front of and 120 degrees in left and right directions.

Such a design can make the spaceship more flexible in space. After all, because there is no air resistance in space, it is very difficult for the spacecraft to change direction or slow down urgently in flight. This propeller design can better complete these operations.

Of course, for better propulsion acceleration, the spacecraft also has a larger ion engine in its tail to provide more thrust.

Of course, the propellers on all types of spaceships use ion engines as the main thrusters, because such thrusters have the highest cost performance. It is unrealistic to use hydrogen and oxygen or other chemical fuels as fuel for long-distance space flight.

Hydrogen and oxygen are very important resources in spaceships. Without oxygen, astronauts can't survive. The water synthesized by hydrogen and oxygen is also a necessity for astronauts and plants on the spacecraft. Of course, such an important thing can't be used as fuel so much!

The most important thing is that the propulsion effect of chemical fuel is not ideal, which is much worse than the impulse ratio ion engine. Lei Tiantang of course will not choose this kind of fuel engine. In addition, he and Kuafu have also optimized and designed an ion engine with more powerful power, which can be used for the initial test.

As for the engine with stronger power in the future, it will be optimized and upgraded slowly in the follow-up research. In any case, the research work of spaceship can not be accomplished overnight.

The remaining two spaceships are designed in combination, but the two designs are completely different.

The first one is similar to the spaceship design in "Star Trek". Of course, Lei Tiantang's design is not exactly the same as the spaceship design in the movie. It only uses its combination design and the design of using rotation to obtain gravity.

After all, in the future, if their research and development of artificial gravity system cannot be completed in a short period of time, they can only use this kind of spacecraft, because it is OK for astronauts to work in a zero gravity environment for a short time, but if they work in a gravity free environment for several years or even longer, their bodies will certainly be unbearable.

Therefore, in order to verify whether this technology is feasible, Kuafu and Lei Tiantang designed such a spaceship to do experiments. Although they are not very optimistic about such a design, after all, such a design is too dangerous to navigate in the harsh space.

You see, even the spin type spaceship with its own shield in "space traveler" almost collapsed after an accident. If it wasn't for the main character's opening and hanging a fierce operation like a tiger, all the people on the ship would be burping their farts.

From this design, we can see that people subconsciously think that this kind of design is not reliable. However, such a design may still be needed by the company in a short time, so it is not a big deal to study by the way.

After all, for the company's Mars colonization plan, the company's spacecraft design department has also carried out the initial design work for this type of spacecraft. They just borrowed this design to do an experiment, and it didn't take much effort. In case there is something unexpected in the process of the experiment, it would not be better?Although the rest of the model is also designed in the way of combination, this one actually tends to be similar to the modular design type.

the whole spacecraft consists of 12 functional components and core components. From the outside it is a rectangular shape. No wonder the design make complaints about the design of the spacecraft.

The 12 components with different functions mainly have different functions in the general direction. Some key functions can be found in each component, such as thruster, life support system, food and water, and various escape systems.

The advantage of this design is that when encountering irresistible danger, such as asteroid impact and other catastrophic risks, the components of the spacecraft that have not been damaged can escape from the damaged spacecraft smoothly, providing maximum protection for the life safety of astronauts.

This kind of escape design is much better than using the small escape capsule alone. This kind of escape capsule can only maintain the life of astronauts for up to one month. If there is no spaceship to rescue during this time, it will still be cool.
