But now, with the rise of China, other countries are also beginning to study real space shuttles, especially the United States, which has a strong foundation. Especially the recent purchase of K01 engines with 15 air media from the master company has made the United States feel that it should be able to produce a real space shuttle.
It is said that when I purchased the engine from Gaoshou Company, there was a conflict between the two parties - the engine sold was obviously different from the original sample - a lubricating oil cooling system was added, which increased the weight of the engine by thousands of kilograms. However, the expert company explained it very well. The K01 engine temperature is as high as 1200 degrees or more, and even the core temperature operates at a high temperature of 2000 degrees. At such a temperature, no lubricating oil can withstand it. Shouldn't cooling measures be taken!
It's just that experts from the United States are not easy to fool, and they even suspect that the master company should have adopted a special water lubrication technology on the prototype; in recent years, water lubrication technology has been greatly developed in the high-temperature field. It's just that other additives need to be added.
However, in the face of the strength of the master company, the United States had to give in. On-site inspection showed that the engine function had not changed and it worked stably for 8 consecutive hours. Of course, an engine tested consumed 2.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in 8 hours and cost nearly 5 million yuan. The United States also paid the bill.
However, the next situation really made the United States angry. There was indeed something wrong with the engines sold by Gaoshou Company. Even the top aerospace-grade lubricants in the United States could only be replaced after 15 hours under good conditions. Otherwise, the lubricating oil will deteriorate and cause unimaginable harm to the engine. But what about Gaoshou Company - if nothing else, the space shuttle of Gaoshou Company recently flew in space for 24 hours, of which the engine was not working for less than 5 hours; for the remaining nearly 20 hours, the engine was working In perfect condition - not good, perfect!
In this regard, Gaoshou Company was indeed negligent. In order to win the trust of the public and for the future development of aviation for the public, Gaoshou Company reported the status of the Feixiang space shuttle in real time; but after the plane landed, Gaoshou Company did not see anything at all. Measures to check the lubrication system - isn't this clear? The products sold by the master company can only work at high intensity for 15 hours continuously; but their own engine lubrication is not checked at all!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, especially since he had just been scolded by the president for the space shuttle project. Dr. John was so angry that he couldn't sleep. With the rise of China, especially the strong attack of the master company, the president is getting more and more angry now! In the middle of the night, he turned on the communicator and found Sui Liangyu, who was responsible for contacting him. He was now the sales director of Gaoshou Company and expressed his dissatisfaction in broken Chinese.
It is said that Sui Liangyu is in a good mood now that Gaoshou Company has just started working. To be precise, with the rise of Gaoshou Company, all the employees of Gaoshou Company are in a good mood, and that kind of pride cannot be concealed.
I just put down my work and recalled my situation in Gaoshou Company over the past few years. I wanted to be intoxicated when the communicator rang. When I saw that it was John, an American engineer, I felt bad instantly. This guy is picky. are all problems. Of course, as a sales manager, you still have to keep in mind that the customer is God; even though today's expert companies have the momentum to become leaders of God!
"Hello Mr. John, good evening. It's midnight at your place. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes! Of course there is!" John's somewhat annoyed voice came. Hearing Sui Liangyu's relaxed and cheerful voice, at this time, the anger that he had received from the leader during the day could no longer be suppressed. "I remember you said that master companies apply it themselves. The engine is exactly the same as the one sold externally! ”
"Yes!" Sui Liangyu responded naturally, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that he was exposed somewhere?
"Hmph! But why do our engines need to change the lubricating oil every 15 hours, but your plane flew in space for 24 hours and still didn't check and change the lubricating oil after landing!" Dr. John almost yelled. This sentence.
"Ah... I forgot if you didn't tell me. Thank you for reminding me. Gaoshou Company has a short time in the aviation field, and it forgot such an important thing! Thank you, thank you, I will inform the company's senior management immediately, and will also convey it to the company Thanks again for your help! ”
"Beep..." Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Dr. John felt a rush of unloading rush to his head! How shameless! People can be shameless, but they cannot be shameless like you!
After Sui Liangyu hung up the phone, he also reported this matter to the company's 16 directors. It didn't matter what everyone had, but they should at least do something like it!
It's too late! After hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan expressed regret: The plane that provides the country with space express business has taken off, and all three planes have gone. Among them, the Flying is responsible for transporting 50 talents to space for the country; the two Dreams are mainly responsible for carrying supplies. But then Zhang Jingyuan said that it didn't matter, what else could they do besides getting angry!
Next, Zhang Jingyuan continued to devote himself wholeheartedly to new technology research and development and production capacity expansion.
On the second day, Engineer John from the United States opened his blood-red eyes and started a new day of work. During the development process of the American space shuttle, it encountered great and unimaginable difficulties. The first one is the threshold of energy storage batteries. Just like China back then, without the support of cheating methods like Zhang Jingyuan, the magnetic field energy storage battery in the United States now weighs 6 tons and stores about 350,000 degrees of energy, which is more advanced than what China independently developed back then. It's just that this kind of energy storage method is really unable to meet the needs of today's aerospace development.
To maximize the use of Gaoshou's engines, a space shuttle requires two engines. At full power, it consumes 1.2 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy per hour. The rocket can enter low-Earth orbit in half an hour at its ultimate speed, but the space shuttle needs to be slightly longer for safety reasons; in addition, the aircraft not only consumes electrical energy for the engine, but also for computers, radars, lighting, insulation, etc. Each item may not consume much power, but the total power consumption reaches thousands of kilowatt-hours per hour. And as long as the plane takes off, the consumption of these electrical energy will not stop. To be conservative, the space shuttle requires at least 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy; including backup reserves. This requires about 5 batteries, which weighs 30 tons, not counting some items that fix the batteries and so on. Lin Lin finally concluded that with the current technology in the United States, if he wanted to build two space shuttles with K01 engines, the weight would have to reach more than 70 tons, and the thrust of the two engines would only be 100 tons! This is simply another way of showing that the gain outweighs the loss!
It’s just that the future development must be in his own hands, so the President of the United States still had to sign the consent form; but he has not seen a decent finished product so far, which makes the President full of worries, so he gave John a lesson. .
