The historical development of space shuttle, was it can be said that long-standing. 航天飞机的发展历史,可以说是由来已久了。 Completes the Apollo program after the 60's US, will then research and develop the strength the focus to place „may the multilaunching and maintenance be simple” on the space shuttle. But in this aerospace competition, Soviet Union naturally was also follows, caused Blizzard, the bird number and other space shuttles, and yielded certain result. 从六十年代美国完成阿波罗计划之后,便将研发力量的重心放在了“可多次发射、维护简单”的航天飞机上。而这场航天竞赛中,苏联自然也是紧随其后,先后弄出了暴风雪号、小鸟号等三架航天飞机,并且取得了一定成果。 Under such background, China is naturally unwilling to fall behind, the corresponding plan is also following close on appearing. 在这样的背景下,华国自然不甘落后,相应的计划也紧跟着出台。 For example initial code name 863-204 projects, is so-called „earth orbit transportation system”, in the initial period of project bidding, domestic space expert for „space shuttle” the matter erupts one to waste time for a long time argument. Even supported the sound of space shuttle once to get the winning side. 比如当初的代号863-204的项目,也就是所谓的“天地往返运输系统”,在项目招标的初期,国内的航天专家就为“航天飞机”的事情爆发过一场旷日许久的争论。甚至于支持航天飞机的声音曾经一度占据了上风。 However when all seemingly settle down, this reported that was delivered to at that time already Venerable money who steps down to the second line there. 然而就在一切看似尘埃落定的时候,这份报告被送到了当时已经退居二线的钱老先生那里。 After Venerable money has read the report, only above postil nine characters, but also this short nine characters, completely changed almost already the space shuttle technological line that is settled, changed the future look of China space undertaking. 钱老先生看过了报告之后,只在上面批注了九个字,而也正是这短短的九个字,彻底改变了几乎已经板上钉钉的航天飞机技术路线,也改变了华国航天事业的未来面貌。 „Should also report the center the spaceship case.” “应将飞船案也报中央。” Now looks back, was making such choices at that time, without doubt is correct. 现在回过头去看,在当时做出这样的取舍,无疑是正确的。 The space shuttle does not look like like that attractively, the super power that even if two that in the surface seems like „the strength of whole nation” competes, is still hard to support human to the free round-trip aerospace dream. 航天飞机并非像表面上看起来的那般光鲜,就算是两个“举国之力”较劲的超级大国,也难以支撑人类对自由往返空天的梦想。 Take US for instance, design service life 20 years of Columbia / 100 launches, but US complete 5 were operational space shuttle to add to surpass reluctantly 100 times, and each time the cost of launch and maintenance was also far higher than at the beginning of the design estimate. 以美国为例,哥伦比亚号的设计寿命20年/100次发射,但美国全部五架投入使用的航天飞机发射次数加起来才勉强超过了一百次,并且每次发射与维护的成本也远高于设计之初的预估值。 But Soviet Union was more miserable, three space shuttles have launched respectively one time, in the 90's, is to fly unable to fly, a tester was also bought to place the museum by Germany. 而苏联就更惨了,三架航天飞机分别发射过一次,九十年代之后更是飞都飞不起来,其中一台测试机还被德国买去放在了博物馆。 Tosses about with it, might as well uses the rocket simply, how studies to receive well the bumper missile, cost not necessarily compared with mature space shuttle technology expensive many. 与其这么折腾,还不如干脆用火箭,好好研究研究怎么把二级火箭收回来,成本未必就比成熟的航天飞机技术昂贵多少。 However, time always in change. 然而,时代总是在变化的。 If views the issue with the vision of development, any issue can find to solve the problem the mentality. 如果用发展的眼光来看待问题,任何问题都是可以找到解决问题的思路的。 Space shuttle assembly center. 航天飞机装配中心。 Stands in side of industry robot, bringing Lu Zhou of glove child to pick up a metal cylinder of mineral spring thermo size from the plastic basket, with thought over in the hand, then approached the port of that metal cylinder, looked at carefully along that bright and clean metal surface carefully. 站在工业机器人的旁边,带着手套的陆舟从塑胶筐子里捡起了一只矿泉水瓶大小的金属圆筒,拿在手中掂量了下,然后凑近了那金属圆筒的端口,沿着那光洁的金属表面仔细地端详了起来。 „How to feel in a big way entire two?” “怎么感觉大了整整两圈？” On nearby NC machine terminal screen, shoots one string of air bubbles. 旁边数控机床终端屏幕上,弹出来一串气泡。 Xiao Ai: 【Is unfair to the master! This is the minimum size that Xiao Ai can achieve...... qaq】 小艾:【对不起主人！这已经是小艾能做到的最小尺寸了……qaq】 Lu Zhou: „This, I have not blamed you...... you to do was very good.” 陆舟:“别这样,我又没有怪你……你已经做的很不错了。” Xiao Ai: 【Real? 0.0】 小艾:【真的吗？0.0】 „......” “……嗯” Xiao Ai: 【Happy! Phi( ≧ ≦ *)?】 小艾:【开心！φ(≧≦*)?】 Lu Zhou: „......” 陆舟:“……” At this moment grasps in his hand, is in wreckage 3rd the enlargement version of Hall thruster, is the limit that this NC machine can process. 此刻握在他手上的,便是残骸三号上霍尔推进器的放大版,也是这台数控机床所能加工到的极限。 Lu Zhou has to try to let Xiao Ai, in did not sacrifice the performance under the condition, is smaller, however starts from the present volume that this gadget does, the section largest diameter reduces 1 mm every time, not only the overall processing difficulty will show the growth of Geometry type, the stability of advancement advancement unit seriously will also be affected. 陆舟不是没有试着让小艾在不牺牲性能的条件下,将这玩意儿做的更小一些,然而从现在的体积开始,截面最大直径每缩小1mm,不但整体加工难度都会呈几何式的增长,推进推进单元的稳定性也会受到严重影响。 However, even if hard to return to original state completely in the wreckage 3rd technology, this replica is still quite ox Bai. 不过,即便难以将残骸三号上的技术完全还原出来,这个仿制品也是相当牛掰的。 1.32 meters in diameter engine mouth can integrate 200 Hall to advance the unit probably, through conducts the turbo-charged rectification to the ionization indoor plasma state xenon, can spray to accelerate to 1/1000 speed of light backward the plasma plume, thus has the maximum 200 kn thrust force. 直径1.32米的引擎口大概能集成200支霍尔推进单元,通过对电离室内的等离子态氙气进行增压整流,能够向后喷射出加速到千分之一光速的等离子体羽流,从而产生最大200kn的推力。 The thrust force 200 kn , 5 stage engine of single stage engine adds is 1000 kn. 单台引擎的推力200kn,5台引擎加起来就是1000kn。 Even if conducts to calculate by 50 tons full load, can still obtain about the 1 g acceleration under the gravity ring boundary. Although in acceleration rapid in chemical rocket, but the advantage in specific impulse actually makes it not need to carry very heavy working substance, then can send to the low earth orbit. 即便是以50吨满荷载进行来算,在重力环境之下也能够获得将近1g的加速度。虽然在加速度上迅速于化学火箭,但在比冲上的优势却使得它无需携带很重的工质,便可以将自己送上近地轨道。 Now the only trouble is, a 100 mw fusion battery is only probably satisfied enough the demand of 1 x Hall thruster. 现在唯一的麻烦就是,一台100mw的聚变电池大概只够满足一台x型霍尔推进器的需求。 If wants to satisfy the energy consumption of this type of Hall thruster, he must go a step further power of promotion fusion battery to be good. 如果想要满足这种霍尔推进器的能耗,他必须进一步升级聚变电池的功率才行。 „It seems like must result in the power line of improvement of fusion battery to 500 mw above...... best is 1000 mw,” stares at Hall in hand to advance the unit, Lu Zhou was pondering over is saying, „also had the PMS also the improvement...... saying that had the means to be able the ionization chambers of five engines to integrate together? Makes a large size and integration to advance the unit the Hall thruster to come out simply.” “看来必须得将聚变电池的功率提升到500mw以上才行……最好是1000mw,”凝视着手中的霍尔推进单元,陆舟思忖着说着,“还有电源管理系统也得改进……说起来有没有办法能将五台引擎的电离室集成在一起？或者干脆弄个更大号、集成更多推进单元的霍尔推进器出来。” Advanced the unit to return in the plastic container to fix Hall, Lu Zhou turned around to leave the assembly center workshop, came to the office in nearby main building, found the Starry Sky Technology space shuttle assembly center CTO to await the honor of your presence. 将霍尔推进单元放回到了塑胶容器内固定好,陆舟转身离开了装配中心的厂房,来到了旁边主楼的一间办公室里,找到了星空科技航天飞机装配中心的技术总监候光。 Speaking of this awaiting the honor of your presence, is an expert. 说到这位候光,也是一位牛人。 As had participated in the senior professors of 863-204 projects, although he followed the teacher to be engaged in the design of space shuttle as intern at that time, but gained in quite rich research experience in this/should domain as before. Afterward held the post of professor in Capital Navigation University, was engaged in the research of space industry. 作为曾经参与过863-204项目的老教授,虽然他当时是以实习生的身份跟随导师从事航天飞机的设计,但依旧在该领域积累了相当丰富的研究经验。后来在京航大学担任教授一职,从事航天领域的研究。 Properly speaking, such expert is very difficult to dig, however in knowing the manager in enterprise is Lu Zhou, after Lu Zhou plans to produce the space shuttle, he has not even spoken in detail the treatment, then received Starry Sky Technology offer without delay, next day then rushed to Jinling far away. 按理来说,这样的牛人是很难挖到的,然而在得知企业的老总是陆舟,陆舟打算造航天飞机之后,他甚至连待遇都没详谈,便二话不说地接下了星空科技的offer,次日便大老远地赶到了金陵。 Since he became CTO that day, by the present already over the past month. 从他就任技术总监一职的那天算起,到现在已经过去一个多月的时间了。 Regarding his work, Lu Zhou has been very satisfied. 对于他的工作,陆舟一直都很满意。 How to design this space shuttle specifically, after all is not his specialty, this specialized matter, gives the specialized human affairs to process is quite good. 具体如何设计这个航天飞机,毕竟不是他的专长,这种专业的事情,还是交给专业人事去处理比较好。 „...... The blueprint of space shuttle I have carefully studied, considering that the energizing part also has the size of electric propulsion system, over 40% places must redesign.” “……航天飞机的设计图我已经仔细研究过了,考虑到供能部件还有电推进系统的尺寸,40%以上的地方都得重新设计。” Lu Zhou: „Over 40% are what concepts.” 陆舟:“40%以上是个什么概念。” Awaited the honor of your presence to think a while, gave a more explicit view. 候光想了一会儿,给出了个更明确的说法。 „From the wing position backward, must redesign probably completely.” “大概从机翼位置向后,全部得重新设计。” Lu Zhou nods. 陆舟点了点头。 „Space shuttle you are an expert, according to comes on the line that you said. Moreover, according to your experience, I hopes that you and I appraise simply, how much money does the entire project need probably?” “航天飞机这块你是行家,按照你说的来就行了。另外,根据你的经验,我希望你和我简单的评估一下,整个项目大概需要多少钱？” Awaited the honor of your presence to hesitate a while, said. 候光沉吟了一会儿,开口说道。 „Conservative estimate 1 billion US dollars...... naturally, before the new design proposal comes out, no one can reach an agreement can spend many specifically.” “保守估计得10亿美元……当然,在新的设计方案出来之前,谁也说不好具体会花多少。” 1 billion US dollars...... 10亿美元…… At the cost of space shuttle, this price is not expensive, after all Columbia altogether spent the American from the research and development to the construction 2.5 billion, moreover is dozens years ago 2.5 billion. Can make with 1 billion US dollars, to a great extent also occupied most designs already in the 90's before the small advantage that the millennium completes, as well as this assembly center can process most components, only needs to supply the basic raw material then. 以航天飞机的成本来讲,这个价格不算贵,毕竟哥伦比亚号从研发到建造总共花了美国人25亿,而且还是几十年前的25亿。能用10亿美元就造出来,很大程度上也是占了大部分的设计已经在九十年代至千禧年之前完成的便宜,以及这座装配中心能够加工绝大多数的零件,只需要供应基本的原材料即可。 However, although to burn money was ready...... 然而,虽说是已经为烧钱做好了准备…… These 1 billion US dollars costs, a little excessed his budget. 这10亿美元的成本,着实有点超出了他的预算。 Thinks of here, suddenly Lu Zhou also worries for the matter of money. 想到这里,一时间陆舟也不禁为钱的事情犯了愁。 Can sell an East Asian electric power the stock? 要卖一点东亚电力的股票吗？ Although has not gone on the market, the words that but sells definitely do not worry to sell, after all will be individual can see this fusion industry magnate in the future potential. However now Fu Xi dui of Daya Bay begins construction, the Southeast Asia electrical network project just walked one issue, at this time was eliminated really owes. 虽然没有上市,但卖的话肯定还是不愁卖的,毕竟是个人都能看得见这家聚变行业巨头在未来的潜力。然而现在大亚湾的伏羲堆才开始动工,东南亚电网项目才刚刚走完一期,这时候出局实在是太亏了。 Or lends money to the bank? 要不向银行借钱？ However this does the aerospace, this investment cycle is long, cannot see the obvious profit expected project, where has that easy loan. 不过这可是搞航天啊,这种投资周期长,看不到明显盈利预期的项目,哪有那么容易贷款。 When Lu Zhou is hesitating, the entrance broadcast the sound of knocking on a door suddenly. 就在陆舟犹豫着的时候,门口突然传来了敲门的声音。 Took back the train of thought of radiation, Lu Zhou looked to the entrance, opened the mouth to say. 收回了发散的思绪,陆舟看向了门口,开口道。 „Come.” “请进。” The gate shoves open, sees only the assembly center plant manager office secretary, appeared in the entrance. 门推开,只见装配中心厂长办公室秘书,出现在了门口。 It seems like has not thought of Lu Zhou here, that secretary saw after Lu Zhou, gawked slightly, but was quick on her face then to reappear the pleasantly surprised expression. 似乎是没想到陆舟在这里,那位秘书看到陆舟之后微微愣了下,不过很快她的脸上便浮现了惊喜的表情。 „Professor land!” “陆教授！” Lu Zhou: „What matter?” 陆舟:“什么事？” With the exciting tone, she continues to say. 用激动的语气,她继续说道。 „A while ago we to funds of space agency that side application, already batch!” “前段时间我们向航天局那边申请的经费,已经批下来了！”
