Five tons!

That's much more awesome than the Pslv-c37 rocket with one shot with one shot in White Elephant Country!

The Baixiang people are proud of the 100-star rocket with a low-Earth orbit capacity of only 3.25 tons, but the [Earth Cannon] can fire more than one ton!

"Five tons? Does this include the weight of the electromagnetic rocket itself?" asked one of the Aerospace Rabbits.

The staff explained: "The weight of the electromagnetic rocket itself is not included, but if we subtract the weight of the parts of the rocket's fixed cargo, the actual maximum launch weight is only about 4.5 tons."

The Aerospace Rabbits nodded, saying that they could understand this design method, but they were still incredible for the 4.5 tons launch weight.

Even so, it still exceeds the carrying capacity of the Baixiang Kingdom's 100-satellite rocket with one arrow and one hundred satellites!

Comparing the strongest Fat Five in China, it has a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 25 tons, far exceeding the 4.5 tons of electromagnetic orbit launch method. However, the [Earth Cannon] can be launched once every half an hour, and at least ten consecutive times a day.

If calculated based on the frequency of ten launches per day, it means sending 45 tons of goods into space every day, which is nearly twice as much as Fat Five!

When time accumulates for a week, a month or even a year, the launch capacity will be an astronomical value!

According to the staff, as long as the base provides sufficient energy and the electromagnetic tracks do not have major problems, it can launch more than ten times a day.

Before Fat Five was successful, the rocket carrying capacity of the Zanhuajia's SAFE rocket was only 8.8 tons, which was not very obvious compared to 4.5 tons.

In addition, the carrying cost of [Earth Cannon] is very low. It is said that it only costs less than 5,000 yuan to launch each kilogram of cargo into the Earth's low-Earth orbit.

Moreover, with more launches, the lower the carrying cost of electromagnetic track emission. After three years of continuous uninterrupted launch, the launch cost per kilogram can even be reduced to RMB 500!

Such a high cost-effectiveness can certainly eliminate the super-large launch vehicle technology of various countries on Earth. In the future, astronauts can first transport things to space, and then take a small low-Earth orbit rocket to the sky and set off again through the space station to fly to other planets. This will definitely put the cost down very low.

"In fact, not only are we engaged in electromagnetic orbit launches, but ten years ago, when the Bald Eagle was still in the administration of President Obani, the Nasa engineers planned to build a 3.2-kilometer-long electromagnetic orbit to launch space rocket spacecraft. However, their electromagnetic gun technology is not as good as ours and cannot launch the rocket into outer space orbit at one time. So they plan to ignite the rocket spacecraft at a height of 61 kilometers, continue to take off and fly into orbit before returning to Earth."

"So the whole process is more complicated than launching traditional rockets. In addition, the cost of building electromagnetic tracks and ramjets is very high, so the project ends up in the end."

The staff of the control center brought the Aerospace Rabbit outside, pointing to the two straight electromagnetic tracks on the snow-capped mountains, and continued to introduce: "Our [Earth Cannon] electromagnetic track borrows part of the design of Nasa. Two huge electromagnetic tracks go up the hillside. Before launching, the electromagnetic rocket is placed in the middle of the orbit, and then the positive and negative electrode drive currents are added to the electromagnetic tracks respectively. These currents will form a loop through the electromagnetic rocket itself. At the same time, an armature current is generated and an armature magnetic field is formed on the rocket, thus achieving the purpose of accelerating the electromagnetic rocket!"

The staff then led the Aerospace Rabbits to walk through each department and finally came to the launch chamber where the electromagnetic rocket was placed. The electromagnetic rocket looked like a huge and smooth metal shuttle, with a flat cone on its head and a bullet-like tail. The surface was wrapped in a layer of special electromagnetic material. There was a considerable space inside the rocket to carry things.

"The electromagnetic rocket itself is very strong and durable, and can withstand the acceleration of the electromagnetic orbit to the maximum in a very short time. In addition, its streamlined body shape can easily break air obstacles and reduce friction created by the atmosphere."

The staff talked endlessly, and it was obvious that the information related to electromagnetic rockets had been memorized for a long time, and it might even be necessary to explain it to others every day.

"According to the design, electromagnetic rockets can be recycled and used repeatedly. There are two ways to recover. One is to return to the earth with the help of external force after reaching the destination; the other is to automatically eject the cargo inside when it approaches the target orbit, and obtain a recoil force and re-enter the atmosphere."

"After entering the atmosphere, the parachute will be automatically opened at the end according to the settings, and finally landed safely on the ground, and we will recycle it." The staff introduced while walking and soon took them to other places to visit.

The Aerospace Rabbits whispered: "Is it to reduce costs for electromagnetic rockets?"

"It should be true that Musk's rockets can also be recycled, but his low-Earth orbit launch cost is still too high, and the minimum is only $3,000 per kilogram."

"It seems that Musk has to find Cat Star Group to launch satellites in the future!"

"So what should we do? If you don't sign a launch contract with Meow Star Group as soon as possible, you will definitely be taken first by Musk!"

"I'm afraid not only Musk's customer, but Huayao also has a very urgent need to launch satellites. They plan to build a communication satellite system similar to the Starlink project!"

"But the problem is that our focus is Fat Five. If the Meow Star Group proves the practicality of [Earth Cannon]..."

Everyone has nothing to say next. After all, this is a matter of position, not a matter of who is right or wrong. Unless both sides can find a win-win cooperation model, Meow Star Group will completely crush the original industry ecology when entering the aerospace launch field, just like in other fields.

Finally, they returned to the command center hall again. At this time, Musk and his people had already arrived at the launch base. Academician Ma and Li Maoye were receiving each other, while others were busy placing the satellites into the electromagnetic rocket.

This time, Musk brought more than 100 satellites, with an average of 300 kilograms per satellite, so 14 satellites can be sent to the sky with one launch. If it goes well, all satellites can be sent to the sky with only seven or eight launches.

"Through the computer's precise calculation, it only takes twenty-five minutes each time from launch to orbit. During this period, there is enough time to prepare for new launches. For safety reasons, you can wait until the last launch into orbit is successfully launched before continuing to launch the electromagnetic rocket into the sky."

Academician Ma took Musk and others to visit the control center, and introduced the launch plan of the [Earth Cannon], which quickly explained it to everyone clearly.

All of this batch of Starlink rockets are low-orbit artificial satellites. Although there are many satellites, the launch requirements are not high. Academician Ma also plans to start with the easy point of choosing this order and will take on other users with higher requirements in the future.

This is not the first time Li Maoye and Musk have met. After a few greetings, they did not continue to chat. On the one hand, they were all listening to Academician Ma's explanations attentively, and on the other hand, Li Maoye is not good at dealing with people like Musk, and Musk also understands that this kind of occasion should not be discussed in depth.

No matter what, Li Maoye admires this guy Musk very much.

Originally, after the listing of Miaoxing Group's polyurethane molecular batteries, it had a huge impact on Musk's Tesla company. Countless battery-related industries abroad went bankrupt because they were crushed by their peers in Huahua. Instead, Tesla not only withstand the pressure, but also defeated Huahua's electric vehicle company to pieces.

One of the big reasons is that Musk began to deploy the electric vehicle market at the Huahuajia a few years ago and built several Tesla car production lines in succession, making it easier to obtain super battery supply than other foreign companies.

Then Tesla took advantage of this advantage to significantly reduce the price, and soon killed the electric car companies that cheated money without leaving any money, accounting for almost 70% of the domestic market, which caused Tesla's stock price to soar, which gave Musk sufficient funds.

This bet on the successful launch of the [Earth Cannon] is another big bet for Musk!

And from all aspects, this is much less risky than the previous bets he bet. After all, this project is a key project jointly cooperated by Meow Star Group and the Rabbit Science Academy. Under the halo of the two academicians, it is very difficult to fail in launching.

As long as Musk wins this move, Spacex's stock price will immediately rise because he once again takes the lead in front of other companies such as Huayao.

Musk doesn't care who masters the technology, as long as he can use it, he can combine these technologies together to make a comedy. He is a person with a lot of administrative marketing capabilities. If he does not have the shortcomings of arrogance, he can be said to be another technical marketing genius after Jobs.

Of course, the Aerospace Rabbits of the Flower Planter recognize Musk's face. Some of them even chatted with Musk. After all, as the saying goes, "Get close to friends and be close to enemies!"

Musk has a very great influence in the aerospace field. He once said that he would immigrate to Mars within 20 years, and recently shortened this time period. He also believed that the black technology of Meow Star Group will allow humans to achieve this goal within 10 years.

"If the [Earth Cannon] can be successfully launched, we will have enough capacity to send supplies to space first, and then fly from space to Mars!" Musk said very optimistically.

With the efforts of the staff, 14 satellites were quickly fixed inside the electromagnetic rocket, and everything seemed to be ready. Just wait for the control center to issue an order to launch.

However, Academician Ma believes that it is best to launch according to the original plan, and there are more than ten hours for engineers to repeatedly check the launch system to ensure that it is foolproof before launching the electromagnetic rocket into the air.

Musk is the customer of this launch. He said that he obeys the owner's arrangements and does not require the satellite to be launched immediately.

Then everyone looked at Li Maoye, and the only one who could make a different decision on the scene.

"Then let's wait until tomorrow to launch!"
Chapter completed!
