Chapter 1079

All of them are senior managers of the company. Of course, they understand all these related matters of the company very well. He explains them so clearly. If they don't, then it's strange. In addition to the high-level of the laboratory, other senior managers of the company, including Lei Tiantang, also understand the benefits of their design.

However, Jiang Yuting frowned and asked, "we can all understand the benefits you mentioned, but this separate design will obviously increase the construction cost of the company's space port. Have you considered this?

And compared with the pure service-oriented spaceport you mentioned, it is obvious that your professional laboratory spaceport will be built before the service-oriented spaceport, right?

The company's early construction resources are limited. After all, we can't create many spaceships to carry out the construction of two kinds of spaceports at the same time. Will this situation affect the company's space colonization strategy? "

Her question is also what many company management want to ask, because the fact is that, even if the company's [Chuxin] spacecraft has completed all the flight test missions, and then has been optimized and upgraded and finalized, but the production of such a huge object can be different from the production line of fighter planes, and a factory can build hundreds of them 。

At present, only two spaceship manufacturing plants have been completed, and in the short term, the company will expand to at most eight spaceship manufacturing plants, which is already an optimization consideration.

However, each of these spaceship factories can only accommodate the manufacturing work of one spaceship, that is to say, at most eight spaceships can be started at the same time. According to the maximum 3-month full load production and delivery period of each spaceship, there will be at most 32 spaceships to be delivered in a year.

It looks like a lot of them, but the construction tonnage of the space port is totally different from that of the space station. Just think about how big a space port should be built to accommodate at least eight spaceships at the same time.

Moreover, a fully functional space port can not only park a spaceship, but also have other necessary functions.

If you want to refuel the spacecraft, you have to build a special fuel reserve area there, right? If you want to repair the spaceship, let alone build a special maintenance area. You have to build a reserve of all kinds of maintenance accessories, ranging from engines to rivets? And all kinds of maintenance equipment must be complete, right?

In addition to the functions of providing space port staff with long-term living space and other functions, so many things are indispensable. Therefore, even in the initial construction plan of the space port, the gross tonnage of the space port designed by them should reach 150000 tons, and the long-term scale should even reach 1 million tons!

Now we have to build another space port dedicated to the laboratory section. Even if we build it on the scale of 150000 tons, even if we only build two space ports in earth orbit, we need to transport 300000 tons of materials from the earth to space!

Even if the 32 spaceships reach the maximum carrying capacity of 590 tons without considering other factors in each transportation, one round of transportation will be 18880 tons, which also requires all spaceships to go back and forth to earth and space 16 times, so as to complete the material transportation work of the two spaceports.

However, this ideal state is obviously not achieved, and the production and transportation cycle of these materials is obviously impossible to meet the standard of full load transportation of all spaceships in a short time.

So it may take years to complete the transportation work and the construction of the space port, and it's obvious that the company's spacecraft capacity will need to be used elsewhere.

For example, the construction of the lunar base, which Lei Tiantang is particularly concerned about, obviously requires a large amount of spacecraft transportation capacity. In this case, after the space port is divided into two parts, the construction cost and time have to be considered.

Lei Tiantang also nodded: "even if the capital problem is not considered for the time being, do you consider how to balance the construction problem?"

"Let me answer this question." Heard the company's two top-level problems, as the spacecraft's chief designer he Chengxin stood out.

"It's such a boss. With the successful completion of the first flight test of our [chuoxin] spaceship, we have also carried out a detailed inspection of the spacecraft in the factory in the past two days. According to the test flight data and inspection data, there is no big problem in the overall design idea of the spacecraft!

Moreover, from the inspection results, it is obvious that many of our designs are too conservative. In order to ensure the success of the test flight and the safety of the astronauts, the structural design and other related design of the spacecraft were designed according to the most solid scheme.

After all, this is the first time for us to design and manufacture such a large-scale aircraft. Without experience, we can only adopt this conservative design. But now that we have the test data, we will have the confidence to modify the design.

We can now analyze from the data that many designs such as structural support components are redundant, not to mention others. Even if we only reduce these redundant places, the spacecraft's solar system flight carrying capacity can be increased from 590 tons to 670 tons.The new design scheme is already in progress. The optimized design will be adopted for the next spaceship. By then, we are confident that the carrying capacity of the spacecraft will be increased to about 700 tons. This upgrade can meet the company's space port construction plan and the construction plan of the moon and Mars forward base.

Each flight can transport 700 tons of materials, which can advance our previous plans for the construction of the moon and Mars bases, so we are not worried that the new space port design will affect the company's relevant construction plans He Chengxin talks about the design of the spaceship projected from the origin.

"That's true, but even if the transportation capacity is improved, it doesn't mean that the mission can always be completed according to the best idea?

What's more, the improvement of transport capacity can only accelerate the construction of the forward base, and the tonnage of the space port will not save much time, right?

After all, we are planning to build three large space ports. This construction task is heavy enough. Now we need to add your laboratory type space port. It seems that the enhanced transport capacity will not play a decisive role? " Lei Tiantang asked.
