Chapter 470 (1/2)

Just as Professor Dai had finished speaking, old Qin shook his head and said: ”No! Professor Dai, we think it's worth it. After all, once there is an aerospace plane capable of carrying astronauts to space, to the space station and to put astronauts back, we can use an aerospace plane with higher safety instead of a rocket with a higher risk factor.

Although our rocket is the strongest in the world in terms of safety, we can't guarantee the absolute safety of rocket launch.

The aerospace plane is different. Apart from others, it is only your aerospace technology that developed the aerospace plane. Up to now, the total flight range of all test flight projects of the three prototypes has been very huge. Even according to my personal estimation, it is at least 2 million kilometers!

But even so, there are no problems with these aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology. Even some small problems have not been found. Even the problems found are insignificant problems, which have no impact on the safety of the aircraft.

Therefore, in the process of building the space station, such as transporting the core module and various modules into space, we can use rockets. After all, these are only equipment. Even if there is an accident, it will only damage some equipment and money at most.

However, once there is a problem for astronauts in the process of manned spaceflight, the problem will be different. Therefore, we would rather sacrifice the carrying capacity of the aircraft to achieve the purpose of enabling the space shuttle to send astronauts to the space station, rather than allowing astronauts to take rockets with greater risk and worse comfort.

Most importantly, although your Tiangong technology has launched an aerospace aircraft with larger volume and higher flight altitude, I don't think even your Tiangong technology itself knows when it can successfully develop and test fly, but we can't wait. After all, our space station, at this time, the second segment, has been launched into the sky and has been connected with the nuclear power plant The docking of the heart chamber was successful.

Then, the third core module will also be launched in the near future. Once the third module is successfully launched, successfully docked with it and sent the astronauts to heaven, it will establish what must be done.

Because the next construction of the space station requires personnel inside the space station, such as the reinforcement of the space station. ”

After listening to Qin Lao's words, Professor Dai would have said that their Tiangong technology has reached a considerable stage in the design of the phoenix-2 series, and even is about to be completed as a whole. At that time, their first aircraft of the phoenix-2 series, that is, the ultra high speed aircraft in the atmosphere, can be manufactured and tested.

But he suddenly stopped. After all, even if the aircraft was successfully manufactured and tested, it was just an aircraft in the atmosphere. It would take at least two months to transform the aircraft into an aerospace aircraft.

So he knew that they couldn't wait so long.

However, Professor Dai misunderstood the meaning of Qin and others. After all, if Professor Dai could clearly tell Qin and others that as long as they waited for two or three months, Tiangong technology could successfully develop and manufacture phoenix-kt2 aerospace aircraft, Qin and others would never say so.

Because for the construction time of the whole space station that will last more than five years, two or three months is nothing at all, so old Qin and they are absolutely willing to wait another two or three months.

After all, in the minds of Qin and others, even if Tiangong technology has started the research and development of phoenix-2 series, it will take at least three or five years to wait until phoenix-2 series aerospace aircraft come out. They can't wait for such a long time.

Of course, Professor Dai is also very clear, that is, even if he now told old Qin and others that their Tiangong technology can develop and issue phoenix-2 series aerospace aircraft within two or three months, old Qin will not believe it.
