Technology Bigshot

During the internal seminar, Ren Hong and a group of aerospace professional engineers focused on the construction of the "Tiangong Circular Starport".

The main structure of the "Tiangong Circular Starport" will include the following major cabins: two core cabins that can hold 300 cubic meters each, five experimental cabins or space life cultivation rooms with a total space of 470 cubic meters, two total 160 cubic meters The cargo compartment with a cubic meter space, the three supply compartments are 100 cubic meters, 190 cubic meters and 120 cubic meters respectively, and a giant annular centrifugal gravity generator with an inner ring diameter of more than 200 meters, reaching 218 meters.

This huge centrifugal gravity generator will be the only gravitational multi-chamber space in the "Tiangong Circular Starport". Here, the gravitational force created by the centrifugal force generated by rotation can make the astronauts in space feel like they are on the earth. Out of the state of weightlessness, the centrifugal gravity generator will make it possible for human beings to live permanently in space.

And here, the food and living of astronauts or scientific and technical workers on the star port will be located here, including personal restrooms, bedrooms, and a fitness room. In the future, equipment needed for daily sports such as treadmills will be sent to On the star port, the entire centrifugal gravity generator ensures that the astronauts in the star port can have a good guarantee in the weightless working environment of space.

The centrifugal gravity generator occupies more than 6,200 cubic meters of space, and its space capacity exceeds that of the decommissioned "International Space Station" by more than 6 times.

The appearance of the "Tiangong Circum-orbiting Starport" presents a "Yu" shape in its overall outline under a relatively flat view. Interestingly, the outline of the "Tianzhou" currently in orbit is in the shape of a "t". As for the "Tiangong", the horizontal line in the middle of its outline is the normal map where the centrifugal gravity generator is located. The first horizontal line above is the supply cabin and cargo cabin on the left, and the experimental cabin or outer space life cultivation room on the right. Between the two horizontal lines in the shape of "Yu" is the first core cabin, and the longer section below is the second core cabin, which is also the largest core cabin.

And the hook at the end of the "Yu" shape has another purpose. This will become the first space telescope in the Republic. Although there are radio telescopes like the Guizhou Super "Sky Eye" with a diameter of 500 meters, the barrier of the atmosphere It is always a factor that cannot be ignored. It is imminent for this country to have its own space telescope in outer space. A space telescope will be built on the "Tiangong Circular Orbit Starport".

After Ren Hong saw that this document was sent to him, he did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.

"Tianyan No. 2" was born from this. Once sent into space, it will become the most advanced space telescope of mankind so far, and its performance data will surpass that of the "James Webb Space Telescope", which once replaced the "Hubble Telescope" and is now outdated.

However, the sky-high cost of "Tianyan-2" is more expensive than that of the "Webb Space Telescope". Well, they said that they would help "Tianyan-2" to be sent into space at the cost of delivery, and Matrix Technology could help with its maintenance, but the maintenance fee would have to be charged.

Familiarity is familiarity, and one code is one code. It can be discounted but it will never be free. There is no such good thing in the world.

The estimated investment of the "Gemini Project" has reached the same level as the "Virtual World" project, and it will only be higher in the future. Space exploration is a real gold-swallowing behemoth. Just a "Tiangong Circular Star Port" requires matrix technology to burn. Nearly more than 500 billion U.S. dollars have been lost, not to mention that the subsequent "Mars mission" is another gold-swallowing behemoth.

If it weren't for today's matrix technology that has laid a favorable foundation for business globalization and the super cash cow of "virtual world", Ren Hong would not dare to play like this. Don't forget that the company also has a "Western Project" that is also rampant. What about burning expenses?

The two money-burning "twin engines" are fully activated, and even a super funder like Matrix Technology feels pressure. Fortunately, the foreseeable future returns will be unimaginably rich, and all investments and efforts will be rewarded. Huge gain in words.

The bigger the investment, the more rewards!

For the "Tiangong Circular Orbit Star Port", its relative plan view is a large and eye-catching "Yu" shape, but its relatively speaking directly above looks different, large and small cabins are connected in the At the same time, fortunately, the air resistance in outer space is almost negligible, so there are not so many requirements for the shape of the star port.

The length of the word "Yu" from top to bottom exceeds 300 meters. This length is almost comparable to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The sky fortress is well-deserved, and this length is not the longest in a period of time.

In addition to the above structures, two large trusses over 0 meters will be erected at the second core cabin of the "Tiangong". If you look up at the angle of 100 degrees, then the "Tiangong" will have a "Yu" shape protruding from the head. If the removed upper horizontal line is added, a "Wang" character will appear, and the tail and A touch of hook.

The two trusses connected to the second core module are not antennas, but the two berths of the star port, and the real protagonists of the "Mars mission". After the two trusses are built, they will become two super spaceships. By then, They will separate from the star port, carry a large amount of supplies and some landers to Mars, and become an orbiting sub-station in Mars orbit, and will also become the first human space station in Mars orbit. The supplies will become outpost bases on the surface of Mars.

Everything is a plan that is finally established after repeated discussions, research or experimental simulations by engineers.

The general structure of the "Tiangong Circum-Orbit Starport" has been established. Ren Hong left after continuing to discuss with Liu Yuliang and others for a period of time. It is not an easy task to send a 7,700-ton starport into outer space, nor is it It is something that Ren Hong can do alone. Many details that he does not care about require engineers to work day and night to eliminate potential dangers one by one.

As a result, "China Matrix" has become a subsidiary company with the largest number of employees under the group company, reaching a scale of 2,000 people, nearly two-thirds of whom are technical engineers. To be able to obtain so many elite talents, some talents such as Liu Yuliang Without the support of the National Aviation Administration and the government, it is impossible for such top scientists such as Professor Wan Yuanxi, who combines technology and management together, to work.

In the afternoon, Ren Hong came to the control center of the launch tower. At this moment, the "Arc Eagle-1" aerospace transport aircraft will conduct its first flight test flight around dusk. This test flight is particularly critical, not only to test the "Arc Eagle-1" It is also a test of the launch tower, which is a "double test" flight test mission.

"Boss!" Ding Yang quietly came to Ren Hong's side, and said in a low voice, "According to the schedule, you have an appointment meeting, and you should meet with the boss of Bigelow Aerospace in half an hour."

"Is there such a thing?" Ren Hong said uncertainly. Many times, he didn't even understand his work schedule, activities and arrangements, and Ding Yang was basically responsible for reminding him.

Meet Bigelow in half an hour? This made him a little embarrassed, because the test flight was about to take place. After thinking about it, his heart moved, and he said, "You should respond to Bigelow now. If he is willing, bring him here, or postpone it. Goodbye when you are free, by the way, when will you be free?"

"One and a half months later." Ding Yang thought for a moment, then replied.

"I don't need to see you again in a month. That's it, do as I say, and you won't be knocked down!" After finishing speaking, Ren Hong turned his attention to the busy staff on the launch tower and the runway. "The aerospace transport plane is on the horizontal runway. At this moment, engineers are conducting various inspections around the transport plane.

(ps: It’s the last day, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, one for two on the last day!!! All kinds of requests~) (To be continued.)
