049 Not Enough Budget? Why Don't We Find A Way To Make Money Ourselves!
Waste?
Listen to this.
Other old aerospace students also talked about it.
"Not bad, 10,000 tons of thrust, if only to go to the moon, is really a waste."
"Yes, if you have 10,000 tons, you can go to Mars."
"As early as 50 years ago, the beautiful country landed on the moon, and if we just landed on the moon and walked around, it would not make any sense."
"Indeed, we ??? go to Mars."
"To Mars? Seems like a good decision. ”
....
Then.
The top management of the space agency collectively held an important meeting.
Lu Yan is also involved.
Qian Hongbo looked at Lu Yan and said: "Chief Engineer Lu, as the chief engineer of Star Five, do you think Star Five can go to Mars?" ”
Lu Yan thought for a moment and said: "Academician Qian, leaders, Nebula V uses the Mags power system, and the principle of the Mags power system is the antimatter engine, so the thrust of Nebula V is determined by the amount of antimatter. ”
"And to go to Mars, not only a super high-thrust launch vehicle, but also a spacecraft in combination mode to fly to Mars orbit."
"Since we use the antimatter gravity system, which can greatly save fuel load, our manned rocket is designed at about 200 tons, according to calculations, the Mars orbital delivery capacity is about 150 tons, about 100 tons of landing silo, and 50 tons of orbital modules are used to maintain life,"
"However, if we want to go to Mars, we also need to extract almost three times the antimatter, so that the thrust of the rocket can be increased to 15,000 tons, and we can go to Mars."
Listen to Lu Yan.
Everyone frowned.
Antimatter production can be quite difficult.
I want to triple the amount of antimatter.
I'm afraid it's not a simple matter.
"Academician Qian, if you go to Mars, I am afraid that the budget for landing on the moon will be several times."
"It's hard to say, the distance of Mars is 143 times the distance of the moon, and I estimate that it will be dozens of times."
"A 200-ton manned rocket can deliver a capacity of 150 tons, and a 50-ton orbital module can be designed, which is enough for dozens of people to live for several years."
"Indeed, a landing bin of 100 tons, this can all build a Mars base."
"But antimatter energy is a problem, and so is budget."
.......
Qian Hongbo sighed and said, "Could it be that we have such an excellent rocket that we can only go to the moon?" ”
Heard this.
Lu Yan knows.
His chance came.
He stood up and said, "Seniors, do you remember the Large Particle Collider that voted at the beginning? ”
Five years ago.
Dragon Kingdom once had a vote on building a large particle collider.
The final result is 6:5.
Just one vote difference.
The Large Particle Collider project was rejected.
Lu Yan's idea was to restart the project.
One heard about the Large Particle Collider project.
All the researchers were slightly startled.
Naturally, they remember the huge academic vote.
Scientists, represented by the Institute of High Energy Physics, supported the construction of a large particle collider.
However, scientists led by Lin Lao opposed it from an economic point of view.
In the end, the project was rejected.
Otherwise.
Now the Dragon Kingdom has the world's largest particle collider.
"Comrade Lu Yan, do you mean to re-conduct the vote on building a large particle collider?"
An old astronaut asked.
Lu Yan nodded slowly: "At the beginning, we vetoed this project because this project could not bring substantial benefits to our Dragon Kingdom, but now that we have antimatter rockets, if there is a large particle collider to cooperate, then it will be much easier for us to conquer this sea of stars." ”
Conquer the sea of stars!
Heard this.
All the old astronauts got excited.
As the older generation of scientists, their greatest wish is to see that the Dragon Kingdom is at the forefront of the world.
But Academician Qian Hongbo was very calm.
"Chief Engineer Lu, you may not know one thing yet."
"The construction of the large particle collider is about 200 billion dragon coins, and the cost of transporting the rocket to Mars, even on the basis of the antimatter engine, will cost about 200 billion dragon coins, so that the cost of the entire project will exceed 400 billion dragon national coins."
"You know, the annual scientific research budget of the Dragon Kingdom, in addition to allocating to our space agency, there are also scientific research institutions such as the Institute of High Energy Physics, the Atomic Energy Research Center, and the Nano-Research Center."
"With the antimatter engine this year, we finally applied for 100 billion funds, and all this money was smashed on the Mars project, which is not enough."
"And even if we successfully land on Mars, we will not be able to bring substantial benefits to the Dragon Kingdom in a short period of time, so our budget will not be approved, so we will not have the money to carry out the project at all."
After Qian Hongbo finished speaking, he sighed lightly.
Although aerospace is a top priority for the Dragon Kingdom.
But the current environment is absolutely not allowed to spend so much money on Mars landings that only have scientific research significance.
Heard this.
Lu Yan also understood.
At the end of the day, there is still not enough money.
"Academician Qian, I have a good way."
"Why don't we find a way to make money ourselves?"
Lu Yan suggested.
