Tower Defense Strategy - Chapter 298

Country A, after months of preparation, finally began to launch their doomsday space station.

Although it is called the permanent residence space station in publicity, as long as you have a little exposure to professional knowledge, even if it only reaches the level of an astronomer, you know that this space station simply cannot meet the conditions for permanent residence.

The space station of country A is planned to be a low-orbit space station. As long as it is within this range, regardless of whether it is a low-Earth orbit of 300 kilometers or a low-earth orbit of 700 kilometers, it will be interfered by rare atmospheric particles.

The density of these particles with a certain energy level, which are excited by solar energy, can hardly be measured. However, at low-Earth orbit speeds, collisions with spacecraft are frequent, and the lengthening of time will not only cause the natural deceleration of the spacecraft ( Falling rail), it will also affect the life of various external equipment.

As long as you know this common sense of aerospace, you will understand why Congress C built a permanent space station in a synchronous orbit at any cost, because only with a higher orbit can it truly escape the interference of free particles outside the atmosphere.

Compared with medium orbit, synchronous orbit has no advantage in atmospheric particle disturbance, but the duration of sunshine will increase. The shortening of the non-lighting time can also ensure that in the event of a serious accident on the space station, there is a greater chance of supporting the photoelectric system to operate again.

The principle is very clear, but country A cannot build a space station of sufficient mass in a higher orbit.

As mentioned earlier, after a series of self-destructive explorations, the National Aerospace Corporation of A has developed a lower-cost traditional rocket route. Although the cost is higher than that of the electromagnetic orbital transmitters that are widely used today, it is not much higher in the low-Earth orbit level.

The real dilemma is capacity.

The hollowing out of the industry is more than just talking. Its impact involves all aspects. Even if an unlimited amount of money is invested in it in a short period of time, the recovery speed is very limited.

Most of the funds and talents of country A have been taken in by the military-industrial complex that has expanded indefinitely in the past two years. Even if the aerospace system introduces talents from all over the world, the production capacity cannot keep up.

A few years ago, when the unmanned exploration vehicle of country C arrived on the surface of the Red Star, the leader of the National Aerospace Corporation of A had boasted that it would start building a Red Star base within more than ten years at the rate of launching 1,000 rockets per year.

Obviously, this cowhide can only fool a layman who has no relevant common sense.

Country A has the second largest industrial production capacity in the world, with a very high proportion of military industry, followed by the production of various military and civilian aircraft, and the fossil industry again. As the investment in aerospace resources becomes less and less, it is no longer ranked. With an average annual production of 1,000 launch vehicles, it can only be the simplest and cheapest steel-skinned rocket. There is no need to mention its launch success rate. Even if it is 100% successful, how many tons can it throw into low-Earth orbit at a time? How many kilograms of goods can be sent to Red Star for a few tons of upper level? How much is left to break through the red star’s atmosphere and land safely?

There are also some parts that are completely unjustifiable in the production process and do not need to be discussed.

The permanent residence space station also faces the problem of production capacity.

If the space station is upgraded to an orbital level, the types of rockets that can be selected will be reduced by half, the basic technical requirements will be doubled, and the cost will continue to rise, and manufacturers that can meet the production conditions will also rapidly shrink.

What is more serious is that the early development strategy of Country A does not match the requirements of today’s space station construction, resulting in a shortage of parts.

Although country A maintains a relatively large industrial scale, in the final analysis, it has inherited the pirate civilization’s idea of ​​cutting leeks, just like country E, which is each other’s father and son.

In the industrial chain, they are increasingly inclined to only produce cutting-edge products with the highest profit margins. Those parts with large cost inputs and average profit margins are purchased from foreign countries.

In the business of launch vehicles, its parts and components are highly dependent on the West Central European Community.

Country A suddenly decided to build a permanent space station and suddenly wanted to expand the production capacity of its space system.

Those things that were not originally produced in Country A have not been expanded locally even by the talents?

Not to mention the group of wastes in Xizhongzhou. An electromagnetic orbital silo provides a lot of convenience for country C. It hasn’t been settled yet. How could it be expected that they would burst out suddenly and help country A expand on the entire aerospace chain? Capacity?

In short, the production capacity cannot keep up, and the upper limit of the number of rockets is placed there. The size and height of the orbital station are therefore determined, and there will be no changes in the will and attitude of some individuals.

There are also media outlets with bad ideas, proposing to use ballistic missiles instead of carrying missiles.

This is also nonsense to gain traffic.

Some intercontinental ballistic missiles seem to be able to fly half a planet, as if they are similar to launch vehicles. Even if you know, these gadgets simply do not have enough power to reach the first cosmic speed in a near-Earth circular orbit, otherwise the range is not in kilometers. But let’s do it in circles.

Secondly, the weight of the missile warhead is quite limited, and the carrying capacity of the top ballistic missiles is only equivalent to that of the carrier rockets of second-tier countries. This is because the first consideration of missiles in recent decades is not the carrying capacity but the survivability. Whether it is a launch vehicle or a warhead, it must be as small as possible on the premise that the strategic goal can be achieved.

Finally, the structure of the missile warhead is completely different from that of the launch vehicle. The aerodynamic shape is changed, let alone more than 10,000 kilometers, it may not be able to fly at 5,000 kilometers, not to mention the realization of transporting a load of a specified weight to a predetermined orbit. Safe docking.

The two are a system that looks similar, but is basically not related. To say that they are related, the missile is only a derivative of the launch vehicle technology, or the initial stage (liquid missile).

Not that no one wants to make the space station better.

Some chaebols who want to buy tickets have begun lobbying since the plan was announced, hoping to invalidate certain bills in country A.

In the early years, country A formulated a strategy to comprehensively restrict the aerospace development of country C, and introduced relevant laws to restrict cooperation in all aerospace fields, forcing country C to develop the entire industry chain of aerospace systems on its own.

Therefore, if you want to get support from country C in terms of transportation capacity and supplies, or even introduce electromagnetic orbital launchers, you must first abolish the bill before there is a follow-up.

The problem is that country C is now self-produced in the entire industry chain, and the launch of international satellites on the market depends on the world’s highest success rate. Although the price per unit weight is slightly higher, the proportion is not low. So it doesn’t make sense for her to come and lick it when you unblock it, and it will inevitably have to unblock some other cutting-edge product restrictions, so that the cooperation can be negotiated.

But I didn’t expect that there are too many people to eat inside and out, and there are not many people who support the abolition of the relevant bills.

It can be considered a backlash.

Many council members have grown up in an environment that demonizes Country C. Country C is a demon, the ultimate demon who has crawled out of hell. How can they change the ancestral law to negotiate cooperation?

The other is pure resentment.

The doomsday space station project in country A looks like a big guy with more than two thousand tons, but there is no civilized seed system in country C and the moon palace as a backhand. If you want to achieve permanent residence at this level, you can’t live in many people. Twenty people look at the internal documents.

This means that no matter how obedient or how obedient their group of people pushing the bill, the ticket will not fall on them in the end, so what is it going to do? When one vote against, the chaebol still reluctantly comes to banquet and give away money?

That’s right, if the chaebol is too great, someone will die suddenly. Blackmail can’t continue, but most people are models that don’t see the coffin and don’t cry. You can always get more benefits if you drag it. Why not do it.

After a few months, this road didn’t work, and the chaebols were still unwilling to watch their children go to space and wait for death, and decided to take a detour.

Xizhongzhou can’t count on it anymore, and can only find Country R and Are.

Country R has been sanctioned by Country A and West Central Continent for decades. The economy is very difficult and the industrial production capacity is even more limited. The power they put into space is not only to give the nation a future, but also the free aid of Country C to support it.

In any case, after more than a year of operation, country R’s electromagnetic orbit launch technology and related production capacity are already the world’s second… only an order of magnitude worse than the first.

Although R and A are hostile for many years, it is strange that the cooperation in space has never stopped. Of course, this is a good thing in terms of the development of space technology for the entire mankind.

Country A came to the door to talk about cooperation. Country R realized what, and secretly discussed with the team of Country C, offered a very bizarre price, and sold the North Star 3 ship that had not been sent to the sky.

Just send Ship No. 3, four astronauts and less than 500 kilograms of cargo to the sky. Country R asks for 3 billion yuan A.

Although A currency is worthy of depreciation quickly, people’s military strength lies there, and it will not collapse in the short term, so it still has a certain circulation value. The purchasing power of 3 billion in the international market is equivalent to 1.2 billion before the crisis.

The price of manned spaceflight is not low or high, but this is relative to traditional spaceflight.

After the electromagnetic orbital launcher industry chain stabilizes, the rocket becomes shorter, which greatly reduces the difficulty of construction and assembly, and the corresponding manpower is relatively reduced. The first-level rocket engine does not require the same large thrust as before. Even if the corruption of country R is slightly more serious, it is calculated comprehensively. , The basic launch cost is only half of the previous one, this order can make a lot of money.

In addition, country R has also signed a freight agreement.

Similar to the agreement between her and country C, because the industrial level and volume are here, now that the launch mission is heavier, the production capacity will not increase for a while, and country R cannot provide additional compartment support for the space station, and is mainly responsible for replenishment. Transportation of products and construction materials.

The brick walls and bulletproof fabrics of Country C have not been made public until now, and some internal ghosts have been bought overseas and have not cleared the entire industrial chain. Country R mainly provides country A with titanium alloy panels coated with a radiation shielding layer, and acts as an intermediary for the photovoltaic panels of country C that are also sanctioned by country A.

The newly-built electromagnetic orbital launch system on Are is not much better. The launch is completely imported, and it can only be responsible for logistics.

But in any case, it is good to be able to use money to get some additional capacity support.

After tossing around for a while, in the end it was basically as planned.

November ~www.mtlnovel.com~The overseas launch site controlled by China National Aerospace Corporation is three-engine heavy.

Three load sections of more than 60 tons were assembled on the low orbit, part of which was deployed as a working platform.

Its function is equivalent to the future space, the task is not that complicated, and it simply provides assembly services for the construction of the doomsday space station.

This side is ready, the North Star III goes up to the sky and meets with it.

Interesting here.

Although the agreement for the purchase of the Northern Star III was signed more than two months ago, the assembly station did not have a connection port adapted to the Northern Star standard.

It is not surprising that country A has always opposed all the international “standards” that country C wants to push. Moreover, many parts have already entered the production stage at that time, and adjustments are too wasteful.

Therefore, the four personnel on the Northern Star entered the assembly station through out-of-cabin activities. Afterwards, the Northern Star was tied to the opposite side of the work platform of the assembly station by a cable. The situation is a bit like when the future space station is just beginning to be constructed. Astronauts need to always pay attention to the position of the Northern Star and get out of the cabin to push it from time to time to avoid two astronauts. The device hits.
