Super technology leader

When Tianxia plans big projects, they like to take a multi-step approach, especially the "three-step" strategy, which is deeply rooted in people's minds.

The three-step lunar exploration is like that, and the three-step manned space program is also like that.

The three steps of lunar exploration are the three stages of "orbiting, landing, and returning".

The first step is to launch a lunar probe satellite, break through the flight technology to extraterrestrial celestial bodies, and achieve lunar probe satellite orbiting the moon.

The second step is to achieve a soft landing on the moon, preferably carrying a lunar rover to conduct soft landing and automatic patrol and exploration on the moon.

Tianxia's second step was very successful. It not only landed and explored the "front" of the moon, but also landed and explored the "back", becoming the first country to land a probe on the far side of the moon.

The third step is to launch a lunar soft lander, break through the technology of returning to Earth from extraterrestrial celestial bodies, automatically sample lunar samples and return to Earth, and then analyze and study the samples on Earth to deepen the understanding of the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system.

These three steps are the three steps of lunar exploration, followed by a brand-new manned lunar landing program. Originally, there were many steps for manned lunar landing. First, land and plant a flag, then find a suitable location for base construction, and finally build a lunar base.

However, due to the addition of the Pathfinder, the manned lunar landing program was completed in one step.

The first step of the three-step manned space program is to put people in space, which is divided into launching unmanned and manned spacecraft to safely send astronauts into near-Earth orbit, conduct Earth observation and scientific experiments, and safely return astronauts to the ground.

The second step is multi-person, multi-day space flight, astronauts exiting the cabin for spacewalks, and completing the rendezvous and docking of spacecraft with space experiment modules, etc.

The third step is to establish a multi-module manned space station with relatively complete functions, allowing astronauts and scientists to stay for a long time to conduct space science experiments.

Tianxia has just completed these three steps and is thinking about new projects when Pathfinder came to them and said they wanted to do a "sci-fi project".

In the beginning, experts and senior officials didn't know what this plan meant, but after reading the plan for the Heavenly Palace Space Station, they understood that it was something out of a science fiction movie.

Now that the relevant plan has been announced at the press conference, the reaction of the reporters at the scene is much greater than that of the space agency at that time.

The more intense wave is on the Internet, and the netizens watching the live broadcast of the press conference have a huge reaction.

Netizens, naturally, come from all walks of life, and many of them have seen science fiction movies, so when the simulation diagram of the Heavenly Palace Space Station came out, they tasted its "sci-fi content".

Good heavens, three rotating simulated gravity cabins, an orbital manufacturing center, an orbital repair shop, and a fuel supply station, all of these modules are "regulars" in near-future science fiction works.

Especially its data, one more exciting than the other, stimulates everyone's nerves.

More than 300 meters long!

Nearly 200 meters wide!

Weighing approximately 2,500 tons!

The internal space is close to 10,000 cubic meters!

Especially when it is placed next to the Tiangong Space Station, the International Space Station, the inflatable space station, and a super aircraft carrier in equal proportions, people can more clearly feel its enormity!

"Oh my God!"

"Oh, my God!"

"Ah, my God!"

"My Lord!"

"Holy crap, my, my... God of Machines!"

For a time, people exclaimed, and they couldn't find any adjectives to describe it.

However, Tang Chao didn't wait for them to finish their exclamations and discussions, he directly began his explanation.

"As you can see, although the Heavenly Palace Space Station is very large and has many components, its central axis is very obvious. In different parts of the axis, I roughly divided it into three parts."

"The front part with a relatively simple structure is the scientific research area, the middle part with so many cabins and two large simulated gravity cabins is the commercial area, and the rear part with a large independent space is the industrial area."

"All three parts have a number of independent spacecraft docking ports, among which the commercial area has the most aerospace equipment docking ports, reaching 10, and both large and small ships can dock."

"Of course, don't be too big. Super spacecraft exceeding the space station's 300 meters definitely cannot dock. The 'ships' I'm talking about are spaceflight equipment that may appear on Earth in the present and near future."

As soon as Tang Chao said this, the people at the scene laughed.

Before today, no one had imagined that Earth could really build a 300-meter space station, and that it was really going to be built.

A 300-meter spacecraft?

That's pure science fiction.

Tang Chao certainly knew what everyone was laughing at, but he smiled without saying a word and continued his plan explanation.

"As you should have noticed, the three areas are basically scientific research, commerce, and industry. The three areas have different divisions of labor, so naturally they cannot affect each other."

"A main axis runs through the three areas to fix them on one space station, which also allows them to have a place to communicate. However, the connection ports between them are usually closed, and only people with corresponding identities can pass through those connection ports."

"Mainly because the commercial area is open to ordinary people, it is best for ordinary people not to wander around the scientific research area and the industrial area, which are somewhat dangerous for ordinary people."

This is the truth. Ordinary people can have a good time in the commercial area. Some people don't care about whether the scientific research area and the industrial area are dangerous or not, and some people even come specifically to seek excitement.

The main reason is that some scientific research experiments are of great importance and are also dangerous. If ordinary people don't understand and cause an explosion, which blows up the entire space station, it will have a huge impact.

The latest novel is first published at 69 Bookstore!

The key is that it is too large, and the debris generated after being blown up is also extremely large. If so much debris is scattered on the orbit, other orbital facilities will not want it, and the difficulty for humans to enter space will increase by several levels.

It may even cause human civilization to regress for decades.

So be sure to follow the rules when entering space.

After talking about the general things, the listeners were stunned. Tang Chao nodded slightly with satisfaction and began to talk about the details.

The simulation diagram was enlarged and placed in the scientific research area.

"Does everyone find this familiar? It was just assembled these two days."

"The Tiangong Space Station was originally a scientific research laboratory with many scientific research facilities inside, so it is most suitable to put it in the scientific research area. However, the Tiangong Space Station is too small, and some experiments are not very convenient to carry out, so I also included our company's Starry Sky Inn. As long as the commercialized equipment is removed and scientific research equipment is installed, it can become a scientific research place."

"Of course, not now. Now it is still a commercial place, and the small simulated gravity cabin connected to it is continuing to welcome tourists. You can adjust the specific situation according to the ticket sales. As long as you can buy a ticket, it proves that it is still open."

"Even with the construction of the Heavenly Palace Space Station, everyone can experience more things. Everyone should have noticed that the commercial area is the largest of the three zones."

The commercial area is of course the largest. The two large rotating simulated gravity cabins occupy a large proportion of the space. It is very important for the problem of human habitation in space, and those commercial area cabins in a state of weightlessness are more testing the sequence of "playing".

For earthlings who live in a gravity environment, the weightless environment is naturally used for playing.

The scientific research area and the industrial area occupy a smaller space because the entire Heavenly Palace Space Station is still in a state of "experimentation".

300 meters is not small, but it is not very big. It cannot become the ultimate space station of the human world. After verifying all the links, humans will build a larger space station.

Don't look at people now marveling at the 300-meter-long space station, which is several times larger than the 100-meter-long International Space Station, and the internal space is more than 10 times larger.

That's only because the International Space Station has a reputation bonus. After all, it is jointly built, operated, and used by 16 countries. The International Space Station has long occupied the title of "the largest, longest, and most internationally cooperative space project in history."

But when the Heavenly Palace Space Station is built, it won't take long, and you'll see, humans will dislike it for being small.

After that, humans will definitely carry out real space construction. The parts manufacturing and repair modules of the "Heavenly Palace" industrial area are to verify those construction procedures.

Humans ultimately like to build huge spectacles!
