Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 632 - 588: If It Can Fly, I’ll Resign Immediately!

"First, let me clarify one thing: my remarks do not contain any personal emotions.

Every word I say is simply the most fundamental perspective of an aerospace worker on this matter.

So, everyone, look over here. First, let's take a look at its shape.

This thing's overall design looks similar to a B-2 stealth bomber.

It has long wings, and its overall shape is a sort of triangular form.

Putting other aspects aside, just this kind of shape alone can't withstand the harsh environment of high-temperature and high-pressure after breaking through the atmosphere.

Looking at this thing's general shape, let's temporarily refer to it as a space shuttle.

This means, even if the shuttle's wings are covered in thermal protection tiles, they absolutely cannot withstand the deformation caused by temperatures ranging from 600 to 1500 degrees Celsius."

At this point, Davis seemed worried that the people below would not understand what deformation means, so he explained further:

"Let me say this: in such a high-temperature environment, the longer the wings, the more severe the deformation will be. That would not only affect the shuttle's flight but could also lead to its direct crash in severe cases.

I am not exaggerating this. We must know that under such high-speed conditions, deviating even by one centimeter can cause the entire shuttle to instantly lose its direction."

Actually, what Davis said was not wrong.

If Lin Yi's thing isn't a near-earth spacecraft, but really a shuttle, then such a wing span couldn't possibly break through the atmosphere.

Even if it does break through, it won't fly far before crashing.

Because it simply doesn't conform to the principles of force deformation that humans can currently control.

After hearing what Davis said, the journalists below also nodded, indicating they understood.

The netizens on various websites also suddenly realized that they had wrongly blamed Davis; it turns out he wasn't trying to boost his own prestige at the expense of others, but rather, he knew the thing couldn't fly.

Because of Davis's words, the cursing against him online gradually disappeared. Though there was no praise for him, at least everyone calmed down and was willing to listen to him continue.

"Of course, based solely on this, I can't say for sure that he absolutely can't fly to the moon because no one knows whether the other side has developed some highly durable, high-temperature-resistant materials.

Whether those long wings can remain unchanged under such severe high temperatures—that's impossible to confirm."

After pausing slightly to increase everyone's curiosity, Davis continued his explanation:

"And what truly makes me very certain that he absolutely can't reach the moon's surface is because its overall design is actually an improved version of a space shuttle.

Come, look over here.

These are the space shuttles we've used before.

See its thickness, its height—isn't it quite similar to theirs?"

With Davis continuously pressing the remote, a large screen behind him displayed the space shuttles previously used by the Beautiful Country.

When everyone saw the thick jet openings at the shuttle's bottom, they couldn't help but compare them with the previous images.

Though the images aren't very clear, the thickness is indeed somewhat similar.

This indirectly proves that the other side based their research and development on the space shuttle.

"As everyone knows, our space shuttle is mainly composed of an orbital vehicle, an external fuel tank, and solid rocket boosters.

The photo everyone sees with the mosaic is actually similar to our orbital vehicle, the main body of a space shuttle.

We had developed this many years ago and divided it into upper, middle, and lower layers, including the main cabin, flight control room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, gym, storage room, etc.

Our maximum capacity is eight people, and our nuclear load can reach 24 tons.

This is already the world's most advanced level.

But don't forget the fundamental nature of a space shuttle."

After posing this question, Davis didn't wait for an answer from below, nor did he give everyone time to think, directly providing the answer:

"A space shuttle, as the name suggests, is a reusable transport tool traveling between near-Earth orbit and the ground.

That's right, you heard correctly; it is a tool transporting between near-Earth orbit!

Although it can vertically take off like a rocket and return like a plane to land at an airport after entering the atmosphere, don't forget it can at most fly in near-Earth orbit.

If the other side intends to use it to build a space station, OK, then there is no problem. I truly can't confirm if they can succeed.

But they said they're using it for lunar landing, which is clearly a very laughable matter.

Because even from its development, we knew it was absolutely impossible to land on other planets."

After Davis's explanation, the journalists present and the netizens outside all expressed they understood.

They all knew why Davis was so confident that the other side couldn't fly to the moon.

Indeed, as Davis said, what they researched simply does not have the capability for a lunar landing.

Giving everyone some time to react, Davis leisurely picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip, then continued smilingly at everyone:

"Haha, I can't say I'm looking down on the other side. I can only say that their design concept is fundamentally wrong.

How about this, I'll make a bet with everyone here. If their thing can land on the moon—oh no, that's absolutely impossible.

Forget it, I'll lessen the difficulty.

If their thing can break through the atmosphere, then I'll resign from this position under my butt right now and return to my home to farm, and never again engage in any aerospace-related industry for the rest of my life."

....

Huaxia, at an aerospace base in some desert…

Lin Yi, Ouyang Lei, and a group of experts sat in the conference room, watching the latest live broadcast of Davis's press conference projected on the virtual light screen in front of the conference table, all of them couldn't help but curl their lips.
