Red Soviet Union - Chapter 1276

“Please note, all passengers, we are about to arrive at the Jinghai base. After we took off from the Dhahran base, after about ten hours, after changing to the lunar space shuttle, we finally approached the end point.” Inside the space shuttle, the flight attendant sounded gracefully. the sound of.

Now, it is 2020. After more than 30 years of development, the world has undergone tremendous changes.

Under the threat of aliens, the global economy is highly integrated, and while the economy has developed substantially, more funds have been invested in the aerospace field.

Due to its geographical advantages, Dhahran replaced Baikonur as the largest space launch base, while Baikonur was mainly reduced to a space measurement and control center. At the same time, the moon base has become one of the largest space launch bases. base!

The Jinghai base covers an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers, and it has become a city on the moon!

The early pioneers built a rough base. Later, with the increasing number of tools to land on the moon, various lunar factories were established on the surface of the moon, and large-scale local materials were used to build a large-scale underground base. ! And in the entire lunar base, there are tens of thousands of people working!

Moreover, the lunar base is also open to the outside world. Rich businessmen on earth, and even young married couples, will make travel to the moon one of their projects.

First, from the Dhahran base, take the commercial Shenlong aerospace plane to the space station in space.

The Shenlong aerospace plane was improved on the basis of the Goddess of the Dawn. A large number of repeatable components were used to reduce the launch cost. In particular, some special elements mined from the moon were used as the aerospace plane. The components make the operating cost of this aerospace plane very low. It can be said that buying such a plane ticket is similar to the price of taking a high-speed rail in later generations.

This kind of aerospace plane just transports them to the space station in space. The space station code-named International is the fourth-generation space station launched by the Soviets, and it also undertakes private tourism projects.

On the International Space Station, four or five lunar space shuttles are docked at any time. This kind of space shuttle uses a nuclear power system to travel back and forth between the moon and the space station.

These are just two different solutions. The aerospace plane uses a variable-cycle engine and can fly in the atmosphere and outer space, while the lunar space shuttle uses nuclear power, so there is no need to worry about polluting the atmosphere.

After decades of development, these technologies are quite mature and have almost 100% reliability!

At the same time, experiencing the feeling of weightlessness and traveling in space are already my favorite projects on Earth.

“The moon is really desolate.” At this time, looking out of the glass of the space shuttle, the craggy lunar surface, the girl said dissatisfiedly among a young couple who came to travel.

“Yeah, looking at the surface, it’s relatively desolate, but when we get to the base, it’s lively.” The boy on the side said: “On the moon, we can jump several meters high, and we can also wear moon suits and walk outside. Going around, especially, the Spirit spacecraft, it’s about to take off, and we can just watch Spirit launch.”

Courage!

Over the years, after continuous investment in the space field, the Soviet space technology has also continued to improve. The most important thing is the technology required for interstellar flight!

If you want to carry out interstellar flight, you need a lot of cross-generational technologies. Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no fundamental breakthrough.

For example, the space-time warping technology, which was first proposed by physicist Miguel Alcubire of Cardiff University in Wales in 1994, uses undiscovered “exotic matter” with negative mass and negative pressure. It can warp time and space so that the spaceship is rapidly approaching the space in front, while the space behind is expanding. The spacecraft appears to be in an expanding “bending bubble” that can travel faster than the speed of light without violating the principles of relativity.

However, this technology can only be an ideal. To distort time and space requires huge energy, even greater than the entire energy of the entire universe. Also, there is no evidence that such a particular substance exists.

Similarly, there is wormhole technology. According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the famous American physicist John Wheeler proposed that there may be a narrow tunnel connecting two different space-times in the universe. Such tunnels are called wormholes.

Dr. John is the scientist who proposed the creation of the word black hole. His theory has also been accepted by many physicists, but so far, no such space-time tunnel has been found.

There is also an exaggerated technology, that is, multi-dimensional space. The cosmic space that humans can see is three-dimensional, but in fact, there is a higher dimensional space in the universe~www.mtlnovel.com~ If you can master the higher dimensional space If so, the spacecraft can travel through it and achieve extreme speed.

It is a pity that these ideas only stay on ideas. If you want to realize them, there are many technical difficulties that cannot be overcome, and some even have incomplete theories.

Therefore, if the spacecraft wants to perform interstellar flight, the current technology can only rely on conventional power to achieve it!

What the Soviets have developed is nuclear-powered rockets. With nuclear-powered rockets, the spacecraft can carry less fuel and fly farther!

Therefore, the Soviet aerospace experts can only continue to work **** the nuclear-powered rocket. They did not simply increase the thrust of the nuclear-powered rocket engine, but adopted a more advanced controllable nuclear fusion engine!

Fission and fusion are two different ways. Comparing these two ways, fusion is far ahead.

As far as one reaction equation is concerned, when a fusion occurs, the energy released is several times that of fission, which means that fusion can release more energy. At the same time, by comparing the atomic weight, you can get a higher average energy! Fusion is a reaction carried out by light nuclei. There are few nucleons. On average, each nucleon releases energy that is hundreds of times that of fission!

That is to say, with the same mass of fuel, fusion is hundreds of times the energy provided by fission!

And just relying on the original fission, it is possible to explore in the solar system. For example, more than ten years ago, the fission atomic energy rocket frequently flew to Mars for investigation, and the fusion engine was enough to propel the spacecraft, Fly out of the solar system!

However, fusion is not easy to control. In later generations, fission nuclear reactors are everywhere, but fusion can only occur in nuclear bombs, because fusion is uncontrollable.
