Super technology leader

Time entered the year of the Yellow Emperor’s calendar in 4719. The epidemic that had raged for a year last year finally showed signs of calming down, mainly at the end of last year when Tianxia’s vaccine was launched.

People used to look forward to 4718 very much, but no one thought it would be so exciting.

Fortunately, it passed.

A new year begins.

In the new year, Tang Chao naturally has a new...big plan!

At the end of last year, he went to Kanxing several times and took the orbital shuttle into the space beyond Kanxing. After seeing the magnificent space scene, his soul seemed to be baptized and sublimated.

In fact, this is easy to understand, because this is not what he feels alone.

For a long time, dreamers have tried to imagine the vast universe above the sky, and its incredible scale is always fascinating.

Later, this imagination was realized.

But for the first person to enter space, what moved him the most seemed to be not the vast starry sky beyond the earth, but the earth he saw in space.

"I was amazed by the beauty of our planet while sitting in a spacecraft and flying around the earth. People all over the world, please protect and enhance this beauty and don't destroy it."

After returning to Earth, he said so.

Leaving the familiar earth and entering the outer space that no one has been to before, perhaps he will feel at ease only when he looks at the earth.

In the decades after him, hundreds of astronauts went into space. After returning, whether they were writing work reports or being interviewed by the media, they would tell about their space journey.

Gradually, people discovered a pattern.

Compared to watching the vast sky, these astronauts seem to prefer to look back at the earth.

Although nationality, gender, age, position, profession, and even worldview are different, astronauts generally report that when looking back at the earth from space, they can experience profound shocks in consciousness and emotion.

At that moment, it seemed that I had become different.

After research, people call this phenomenon the "overall effect", that is, the "cognitive change" caused by "seeing the earth in space with my own eyes."

When in space, the earth is a whole for all people. Everything on it is connected to each other. Astronauts can see and comprehend what humans have tried to understand for thousands of years. Things are on that whole planet.

"That beautiful, warm planet is like a living thing. It looks so fragile and delicate, as if it would fall apart with the touch of a finger."

"Looking through the porthole, the atmosphere is so thin. I can't help but think that we actually live on such a fragile sphere of life. It is difficult for you to have such a first-hand experience before stepping out of the earth."

"What makes me unforgettable is a blue I have never seen before,"

"It is a strong emotional experience to witness the earth with your own eyes. Looking back at the planet you live on, this kind of opportunity is never always available."

Many astronauts who have been to space say this.

The farther you are from the earth, the stronger this emotion, especially when humans stand on the moon and look at the earth.

People often stand on the earth and look at the moon, looking at it for millions of years, and when humans go to the moon and stand on the moon and look back at the earth, that is another feeling.

"When I stood on the moon and looked back at the earth for the first time, I cried."

An astronaut on the moon said so, while their companion said: "At that moment, you changed."

This "change" from the heart is not just a change of perspective.More and more thinkers believe that the overall view effect heralds the next "great leap" in human evolution.

As the image of looking at the earth from space gradually penetrates into people's cultural consciousness, people gradually understand that the earth is like a spaceship, and the resources it carries are limited, and the crew must navigate responsibly.

As this kind of cosmic consciousness becomes more and more full, people have become more and more aware that if human civilization wants to survive for a long time, it will inevitably leave the earth.

The earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind cannot live a lifetime in the cradle.

Then people began to turn their heads and looked at the farther starry sky.

However, the earth is always the home of mankind.

And as the biggest "child" in the cradle of the earth, and having been to the starry sky of other homes to sublimate himself, Tang Chao is no longer satisfied with the slow progress now.

Although he has spent money to double the speed because of the nature of the infrastructure madman, he still feels that the company is building too slowly. He may be able to bear it before, but it is definitely not possible now.

Even if he worked overtime to complete the first phase of the project, the manufacturing speed could not keep up with his needs, let alone whether there was any movement in the launch center he was thinking of.

In his plan, the company in Jiangkou City is the headquarters and R&D center, and the island launch center within 10 degrees north latitude on the southernmost side is the transportation hub connecting the earth and space.

Although he wants to build orbital shuttles, and later, he will build aerospace planes. With the development of technology, their carrying capacity will definitely be better, but even if they can transport hundreds of tons of materials to space at a time in the cheapest way. The size is also extremely limited.

In general, the height of the cargo warehouse of heavy transport aircraft is not more than five meters. In order to expand the diameter of the cargo warehouse to a greater extent, people have developed an extremely weird "white whale transport aircraft", just like the big head son.

It has expanded the diameter of the cargo warehouse to more than seven meters, and is specially used to transport components that are not too heavy but are oversized, such as the unfinished International Space Station cabin and the wide-body aircraft cabin.

Airplanes of this cargo size are more strenuous to fly in the atmosphere, let alone make them rush out of the atmosphere, unless the aerospace plane is made very large, making the cabin less bloated.

However, the size of the aerospace plane is large, and various data will increase sharply. Whether it can fly is a problem.

In this regard, the rocket is no problem. The largest fairing diameter can be built at ten meters. This is no longer a problem, and humans have also designed larger rockets.For example, the first draft "Starship" with a diameter of 12 meters, and the legendary "Sea Dragon" rocket with a diameter of 23 meters.

This thing does not need to take off on the runway, nor does it need to rely on the lift of the wing, it is purely "powerful brick flying."

In the early days of the space age, it was impossible to build a space station from scratch on the earth orbit. The only way to do this was to build the module on the ground and then assemble it in orbit.

Even if it can be built, it will be the astronauts fixing the ready-made equipment and parts together. The matter of welding a giant space station with steel plates will have to think for a while.

Therefore, Tang Chao must build a super launch site on the sea. With it, Tang Chao can use a super rocket to transport the super module into space, and then assemble various space facilities on orbit.

With these things, it is not too late to consider the steel plate welding giant space station.

If one person is slow to do things, then come a few more, as more people are more powerful.

So in the last time of last year, he convened several domestic aerospace companies for a meeting, and then announced the establishment of a space alliance.

Although the domestic aerospace resources have been integrated and the cooperation between various companies is more convenient, the current problem is similar to that of Kanxing. If cooperation does not cooperate, it has the right to reject the company. After all, each company has each The interests of the company.

Even if they agree to cooperate, there are all kinds of wrangling meetings and long documents to sign, which can be annoying.

The best way is of course to acquire, just like in Kanxing, when the boss of these companies, let them build something, just one order.

But this is the earth, not Kanxing, it is not so easy to acquire.

If the acquisition is not possible, then form an alliance to greatly streamline the communication procedures between various aerospace companies and improve work and handling efficiency.

As long as this alliance is in place, coupled with his technical authorization, he can firmly tie these aerospace companies together.

It’s not much different from a company.

If possible, he even wants to unite with space companies around the world to develop together.

Unfortunately, this dream is also very far away.
