C1185 The Future of Manned Aerospace

Wherever there were people, there would be the Jianghu. This world was not peaceful, even in the outer space. In the outer space, Bear Country and Y Country had always been competing with each other.

In the history of the world's aerospace development, Bear Country was the top. Not only did they launch the world's first man-made satellite, "Companion One," on October 4th, 1957, opening a new chapter on mankind's way to outer space, they also successfully launched the world's first manned spacecraft on April 12, 1961. They sent the first astronaut in human history, Gagarin, into space, creating a new era for mankind to fly into space.

At that time, in the intense space struggle, Y Country seemed to be at a disadvantage. The first artificial satellite of Y Country was launched on Feb. 1, 1958 after Bear Country. Its first manned space flight was also carried out a month after Jialin flew into the sky. And it had not succeeded. The first manned space flight they successfully carried out was on Feb. 20, 1962. The astronaut John Green was sent to space and stayed for close to five hours. Before that, the people of Bear Country had already flown into space for the second time on Aug. 6, 1961. The astronaut Jitov stayed in space for more than 25 hours.

The competition in Outer Space could not be left behind. After the establishment of Han Country, the higher ups and scientists also looked at the vast space. After going through many difficulties and twists, they finally successfully launched the artificial satellite "Eastern Red # 1" on April 24th, 1970, shocking the world.

What was the use of spending a huge amount of space activities?

First of all, it was definitely for military purposes. Putting everything else aside, those rockets almost all came from the Ballistic Missile. For example, the Long March 2nd rocket from the Han Country actually came from the Dongfeng -5. It was the same for all the countries.

At the same time, the first satellite that was launched was definitely not to greet the peace of the world. The first satellite had already begun to play a military role.

Investigating the ground, carrying out military communications, providing guidance, and so on. Space would definitely not be used peacefully.

And if someone went into outer space, it would be able to make people more subjective. This was also a decision made by a large country.

The universe ship was the first step to carrying people into space.

A universe ship was essentially no different from a returning satellite. It is placed at the top of the rocket, like a satellite, it shoots out. When it returned, it was also the way to land the parachute. It was just more comfortable.

However, this kind of transportation method could only transport a small number of people. It could only transport three people at a time. The space was narrow and there was not much room for maneuver. Therefore, both Bear Country and Y Country were developing a new generation of spacecraft, which was the Space Shuttle.

The universe ship was similar to a satellite, and the Space Shuttle was like a triangular plane. It shot straight up into the sky, and when it returned, it landed. This greatly increased the reliability of the ship, so it could accommodate more people and things. For example, the Space Shuttle in Y Country could accommodate seven members. Even ordinary people who had undergone training could also go to space.

Moreover, in the design, the Space Shuttle could be used repeatedly. Its purpose was to reduce the cost of launching by a large margin and increase the efficiency.

Although the Space Shuttle in Y Country was very famous, Bear Country actually had one. The Blizzard in Bear Country was a special Space Shuttle. However, before it could complete all the test flying projects, Bear Country was gone.

Currently, the Space Shuttle was popular overseas. Therefore, the old astronauts all hoped to get their hands on the Space Shuttle. Looking at it with envy, only Qin Guan knew that it was useless!

Its biggest problem was that its safety could not be guaranteed. According to the plan, each Space Shuttle had to be repeated at least a hundred times. But what about the reality? The Discovery Discovery that had been launched the most had only been launched 38 times. It was far from reaching the design parameters.

Due to the repeated use of the Space Shuttle, its technical difficulty was high. The system design was complicated, and the components were easier to consume. From taking off, rising, and orbital operations to entering the atmosphere and returning to the ground, it needed to go through all kinds of extremely harsh environments.

After a few launches, who knew what kind of tiny cracks would appear? Even if it was just a tiny crack, it would still be fatal!

Out of the 5 Space Shuttle in Y Country, 2 of them had exploded and disintegrated during the mission. 14 astronauts had died because of this.

And unlike rockets, spaceships, and other one-time use flying transports, the Space Shuttle's rocket engine needed to be used multiple times. The total working time of the ___ was a few hours long. This also brought safety risks to the mission: there were bound to be more potential dangers as the flying mission increased.

In the end, the people of Y Country gave up. The people of Y Country retired from the Space Shuttle. They found that they did not have any manned spacecraft to use. Fortunately, there were many wealthy people in Y Country. If not, the space ability of Y Country would have been castrated.

Qin Guan was well aware of these reasons. Now that he had nothing to do, he might as well spend some time talking. Also, with his transmigration, the domestic space program would definitely advance by a large margin!

"However, the universe ship is also good. We had a plan before." Colonel Chen said. When he said this, he had a sense of regret.

That's right, synchronizing with foreign countries, there was also a plan to carry people and space within the country.

Before the successful launch of "Eastern Red One," the early preparations for manned space had already been included in the research and development of Han Country's scientists. For example, in July 1966, the anti-air rocket had sent the little dog named "Little Leopard" to a height of 70km above the ground and successfully returned. Then, the little female dog named "San" was sent to the sky and was also successfully withdrawn.

Back then, the National Defense and Science Committee held a debate on manned aerospace. After hearing the report, the general manager at that time pointed out that while Han Country sped up the development of artificial satellites, the development of spaceships should also be gradually underway. Just like that, the manned aerospace project officially began.

The researchers looked at all kinds of spaceships and finally decided to use Y Country's second generation spacecraft, Gemini Star, as the blueprint to design the first spaceship in Han Country. The first spaceship was named "Dawn 1-1," and Old Qian became the person in charge of technology.

Unfortunately, this project ended in failure. After all, the technology in the country was lagging behind. And manned space would cost a lot of money. At the most glorious moment of the Apollo rocket, the investment spent on aerospace every year accounted for one-tenth of the total investment! Only the rich and powerful Y Country could afford it.

When Qin Guan heard Colonel Chen introducing the Dawn I, his heart immediately quivered. In just a few years, the newly appointed president of the Y Country. He would bring up the Planetary War Plan. At that time, the Aerospace Industry on their side... We can use this opportunity to develop!

"Colonel Chen, let's wait a few more years. Our country's manned aerospace will definitely start again." Qin Guan said.2
