Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Since the auspicious day, Lu Zhou has transferred the R&D department of the Space Shuttle Assembly Center from the scene to the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Research, and established a special aerospace science and technology research institute to study space-related technologies including the electric propulsion system. .

Due to the existence of more confidential projects, the Institute’s building is located at the highest level of security in the Institute and is located closest to the core area.

Unlike other research institutes of the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies, the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute is mainly engaged in the space shuttle assembly center of Star Technology. The vast majority of the funds are also directly from the Star Technology account, not like the Institute of Computational Materials. Other companies are engaged in technical cooperation.

The first director of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute was naturally chaired by Hou Guang, the designer of Xiangrui.

With the experience he has participated in the 863 program, no one is better suited to this position than him. As for the strength, no one in the entire institute is more familiar with the structure of the auspicious and the overall design ideas. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice for him to coordinate the relationship between the project teams.

Hou Guang did not live up to Lu Zhou’s expectations. During Lu Zhou’s absence from Nanjing, he not only completed the overall relocation of the research institute in the shortest time, but also did not drop his job while moving.

On the one hand, the technicians carried out a modular disassembly of the aerospace aircraft of the Xiangrui. On the one hand, the damage area was evaluated while maintaining the equipment, and the data collected by the previous test flight was systematically carried out. Sexual analysis, all the cases are summarized in a report on the 20 page.

It took two days to finish the report and prepared the PPT needed for the meeting. Lu Zhou called Hou Guang and called the technical backbone of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute in the No. 4 conference hall of the institute. , opened a small meeting.

“… First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for their efforts since this time. I cannot represent the people of the whole country. I only represent the dean of the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies and express my sincere respect and gratitude to all of you.”

After a simple opening remark, the conference room rang with pā pā pā applause.

Lu Zhou slightly nodded, and soon the applause stopped.

Clearing the scorpion, he gently placed the report of the 20 page on the multimedia desk and continued.

“Long story short, I have already read the contents of the report.”

“The design of Xiangrui is very successful, but I think there are still many places worth improving.”

“According to the inspection results, the wing part and the belly part were exposed to heat in the return to the atmosphere, which exceeded our expectations. As our excellent engineers analyzed, the main reason was the excessive speed of entering the dense section of the atmosphere.”

“In order to solve this problem, I have considered it for a long time, and I have exchanged opinions with experts I have known. I think that since the thrust of electric propulsion is relatively ‘soft’ relative to the chemistry engine, we can completely consider the abandonment of the traditional chemistry rocket. ‘Design, moving the four sub-engines from the tail of the space shuttle to the wing, leaving only one main engine in the tail.”

“At the same time, a pair of two-axis linked auxiliary wings are added to the spacecraft to maintain and control the jet direction of the engine while retaining a pair of fixed wings.”

Lu Zhou’s voice fell, and the whispering whispers spread in the conference room. Many people had surprised expressions on their faces.

This design is not a novelty, basically referring to the mode of the tilting rotorcraft, mixing the vertical takeoff and landing with the advantages of fixed-wing aircraft. However, although this model is not uncommon, it has been used in the aerospace field, and many people have heard it for the first time.

There was no discussion in the conference room, and Lu Zhou paused for a while and continued.

“Through this improved design, we can use the reverse jet engine to actively decelerate to decelerate the returning aircraft and balance the effects of gravity. Before the aircraft reaches the dense section of the atmosphere, the flight speed is reduced to a lower level to avoid friction. loss.”

After listening to Lu Zhou’s statement, Hou Guangsi took a moment and got up and said.

“This design is very interesting… I will organize people in the technical department to conduct a feasibility study.”

“I have done the feasibility study, even though it is on the simulation software.” With a smile on his face, Lu Zhou held the mouse and opened a folder, and soon a three-dimensional composition was presented on the screen.

Paused, he continued.

“for reference only.”

In the center of the curtain is a conceptual image of the tilting rotor space plane. In the window suspended next to it, the height of the aircraft, the density of the atmosphere, and the speed of flight are dynamically displayed. Various parameters such as the state of the fuselage, and real-time drawing into a gradient curve.

The part involved in the calculations was all done by Lu Zhou alone.

As for the drawing of the model, as well as the simulation of the entire flight process, it is Xiao AI to do it for him through superb code technology.

Staring at the image on the curtain, Hou Guang’s expression slightly raised his eyes, and the subconscious asked.

“This is… which company’s software?”

He has been doing this for so many years, and has been exposed to a lot of companies doing such simulations, but he has never seen the interface and dynamics simulation so refined…even perfect. At least in the eyes of his professional, there is nothing to be said about what is worth picking.

Upon hearing Hou Guang’s subconscious inquiry, Lu Zhou did not explain it in detail, but just said casually: “I am looking for the code farmer over there at the Information Technology Institute. I will give it to you after the meeting.”

The voice almost just fell, and the phone in his pocket shook.

Guess no guess, it must be that Xiao AI is protesting with him.

However, the protest was invalid, and it is impossible for Lu Zhou to disclose its existence at this stage.

After hearing Lu Zhou’s explanation, Hou Guang opened his mouth.

Although it is not clear which cow can make such a perfect simulation program, with this stuff, it will definitely help them greatly.

“The software doesn’t say anything first… If you move the engine from the tail to the wing, it will definitely affect the failure rate. If it is just to improve maneuverability, will it be worth the loss?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and explained: “It’s not just maneuverability. With this design, we can actively reduce the speed of the aerospace plane to a very large value in the airspace above 30 kilometers, which not only reduces the return segment. Risk, while also directly reducing maintenance costs after a single launch mission.”

“As for the risk you said, it definitely exists, but I think it can be solved by improving the design.”

Although it’s easy to say, in fact Lu Zhou knows that it is not an easy task to implement this blueprint.

Adding two electric drive shafts to the auxiliary wing means increasing the structural risk on the wing.

At the same time, in order to ensure coordination between the two engines, he also needs to develop a more sophisticated electric drive system to prevent the engine from deviating from the original channel due to precision errors in the direction of mediation.

There is also the material of the joints, as well as the most critical control system, which also needs to be improved.

It is no exaggeration to say that this has changed to be basically the same as rebuilding the entire Xiangrui space plane project.

Hou Guang brows his head and locks his hand and asks: “What about the bidding project of the Space Agency and the Science and Technology Bureau?”

“Of course, I still use the auspicious number to bid,” Lu Zhou without the slightest hesitation replied. “The new design is our new year goal. Don’t worry, we have plenty of time to prepare.”

After hearing this sentence, Hou Guang was relaxed.

Finally, the Foundation Professor has considered the actual situation.

The manned moon landing project is already imminent. The space agency and the Science and Technology Bureau will immediately announce the results of the winning bid. At this time, extra-budgeting is not a suitable choice. But if it is a project for the coming year, it is no problem.

Both Lu Zhou and Hou Guang are nodded, and there is no possibility of controversy at the meeting.

PPT continued to show, and Lu Zhou briefly talked about the design of this new aerospace aircraft.

At this time, the engineer who was doing the transcript of the meeting pushed the eye with the pen cover and raised the right hand.

“I still have a problem.”

Lu Zhou said very generously: “What is the problem, let’s talk.”

Engineer: “What is the new design plan better? Aussie 2? Or is it numbered first?”

Also using the old name is not very formal.

What’s more, the shape of this new type of aerospace plane has not been recognized by it.

But what is it called…

lightning? That thing is the escape cabin.

meteor? It sounds a bit unlucky.

Lu Zhou searched for a while, and suddenly suddenly moved in the heart, subconsciously started talking.

“…just called Xiaguang.”
