Super technology leader

Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace are actually the same place, and both are the places where the Emperor of Heaven lives in the myth.

These two names are just nicknames for each other and can be translated as a doll.

But in fact, there are still some differences between Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace.

If the entire world of immortals is compared to a country, then "Heaven Palace" is the place where the emperor lives, a palace, and "Heaven Court" is the capital of this country and a city.

In this comparison, the two are not of the same magnitude.

This is why Tang Chao named this plan "Heavenly Court".

The Tianting Space Station is bigger than the Tiangong Space Station, and it is much larger!

Tang Chao pointed to the rendering on the big screen and said: "I divided the Tianting Space Station into three parts. The first part is the scientific research area, the middle part is the commercial area, and the back part is the industrial area."

"The three parts have separate spaceship docking points. The commercial area has the most spacecraft docking ports, reaching 10, and all large ships and small boats can stop."

"One main axis runs through the three zones, so the connecting ports of the three zones are also on the main axis. As long as the connecting ports are closed, the three zones can be independent of each other. At this time, if you want to go to other zones, you can only travel by spacewalk. The method depends on whether there is an open password."

"The scientific research area actually includes the initial Tiangong space station, Tianhe core module, Wentian experimental module, and Mengtian experimental module. They are still in their original state, and the node module can be docked with the spacecraft, which can ensure the independent external communication capability of the Tiangong space station."

"However, the Tiangong space station is too small to be convenient for experimentation, so I also included our company's Starry Sky Inn. As long as the commercial equipment is removed and scientific research equipment is installed, it can become a scientific research site."

Of course, it will definitely not be changed now. The Starry Sky Inn has been built according to the model of a commercial hotel. Seeing that it will be launched into orbit in a while, how can it be changed to a space laboratory halfway.

The entire Tianting Space Station project will take a long time. There are a lot of sophisticated things. There are not many units and companies qualified to take on tasks in China, and people have their own orders to complete. It is impossible to make all the parts for the Tianting Space Station. , So it takes at least two years to get all the parts.

During the two years of parts production, all companies capable of manufacturing rockets must also work hard. In addition to some scattered businesses of their own companies, they must also produce parts for the recycled version of the "Long March 9" and the "Yuanhang".

When the task is over, they can get a certain percentage of technical authorization.

The Long March 9 must be upgraded to a recyclable state, or else one-time rockets will be used to create space wonders, and after that, it is very likely that "spectacles will mislead the country."

Only recyclable rockets can save costs, and the created space wonders can have effects such as "technology integration +5", "national belief +5", and "space exploration +5".

Tang Chao has the technology of aerospace planes, but the cabin of the plane is really not suitable for this. The usual 4 or 5 meter diameter cabin can be said to be a super large cabin. An 8 meter diameter cabin can be modified to transport large-sized objects. It is even more difficult, and the difficulty of building the rocket fairing to a diameter of 10 meters is not the same as that of building the cabin.

Because the fairing is simply a big shell.

Don't even mention the diameter of 10 meters. Research and research shows that the upgraded Long March 9 has a fairing of more than ten meters in diameter.

Even if an aeroplane can easily transport things to space, it can only transport small parts and raw materials.

However, building a huge Tianting space station with small parts and raw materials is not as simple as building blocks. Astronauts must perform a lot of operations in space.

Once it involves astronauts' space operations, it takes longer.

As far as current human technology is concerned, the method of construction of space facilities that requires welding in science fiction movies can only be seen in science fiction movies.

So the best way is to build all kinds of large modules on the ground, and then use large rockets to transport them to space orbit to build blocks.

But that kind of "sci-fi" space construction technology has to be studied. Humans must keep advancing and developing new technologies. That's why Tianting Space Station has an industrial zone.

If you want to say what can be made here, it really doesn't, and most of them are still doing experiments.

Human beings have not had a large space station yet, and they are also bound to do experiments, so Tang Chao has done a big one this time, and he can do some industrial manufacturing experiments to lay the foundation for a real space manufacturing plant in the future.

And what can be made in the industrial zone is some small 3D printed parts that are used by the rail repair shops on both sides.

The experimental project in industrial manufacturing is to lay the foundation for the future, so the track maintenance plant is a good thing that can be used in practice.

There are two orbital repair shops in the Tianting Space Station. They are installed on both sides of the cabin in the industrial zone. They can be opened like the cargo warehouse of a space shuttle, except that they are larger, with a diameter of 8 meters and a length of 20 meters.

There are a lot of maintenance equipment in it, and the inside can be pressurized after the hatch is closed, and you only need to wear a lightweight space suit in the cabin to work.

Its biggest role in the early stage is to maintain and repair satellites.

At that time, it will be equipped with two space boats. If there are satellites in need of repair, the boats can be sent to grab them, and then towed back to the orbital repair shop, and then put them back in the same way after the repairs.

Satellites are very precious resources. Sometimes they are destroyed after being hit by tiny meteorites and space junk. They may only crash into a small part. They were previously unable to repair them. Once the Tianting Space Station is built, there will be no problem.

In addition to maintenance, you can also upgrade the satellite.

After all, the science and technology development on the earth is changing with each passing day. Some satellites have a long lifespan, but the equipment cannot keep up with the demand. If there is an orbital repair shop, the parts that can be printed in space will be printed, and those that cannot be printed will be boarded with rockets and other tasks. Sent up.

When the time comes, the outdated satellite will be upgraded and after maintenance, it will become a pretty boy again and continue to revolve around the earth.

As for where the fuel for the spacecraft comes from, and even some satellites need to be refueled, this is the lunar base program.

If the Tianting space station is to be operated completely and cheaply, the cooperation of the lunar base is indispensable.

It is much more convenient to transport fuel from the moon to the earth orbit than from the earth's ground to space orbit. After being transported, it can be stored in a spherical fuel storage tank behind the factory, where it is a fuel supply station.

Of course, this premise is that those lunar rover can find a large number of "ice mines" on the moon.

As for the commercial area in the middle, it goes without saying. In recent years, people have been bombarded by the concept of commercial space stations every day, and they have already had a roughly the same basic concept of commercial space stations.

Eating, drinking and having fun is nothing more than more space and more projects.

Those present here are experts in the aerospace field. Whether they are experts in technology or operation and management, they all focus on the renderings of the commercial district.

Among them, Blue Sword boss Liu Wenwu, who had seen Tang Chao several times, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Tang, the rotating gravity cabin marked above...is it the kind I think?"

Tang Chao smiled when he heard this. He thought how long these people could hold back, but he didn't expect to ask now.

"Of course, it's what you think."

It's really the kind of rotating gravity cabin they imagined to simulate gravity.

Hearing Tang Chao acknowledging this, the experts and managers of the Spaceport all exclaimed.

"really?"

"impossible?"

"Fuck!"

"The technical problem..."

Tang Chao didn't let them continue to exclaim. If they exclaimed, they should take a cold breath, and said directly: "The technical aspect is not a problem, and even all the technologies involved in the Heavenly Space Station, our leader has!"

He looked at the people below and said solemnly: "We, the leader, never do things that are uncertain!"

"Look here, everyone," he zoomed in on the model of the space station behind him, and set the picture behind the Tiangong space station and the Starry Sky Inn, where there was a rotating gravity cabin.

This revolving cabin is connected to the back of the starry sky inn. It is circular, but not the kind that penetrates, but four independent arc-shaped cabins, connected to the central shaft by four cylindrical channels, and then there are various arcs and Straight steel bars do the connection to make it stronger.

And behind it is the place connected to the commercial district.

There is a door there, and the authority is so high that most people can't open it.

As long as it is locked, the research area is a relatively independent small environment, and this revolving cabin is the living cabin of the research area.

The diameter of the revolving cabin is only 30 meters, and it can only provide a simulated gravity of 0.5G at a safe rotation speed, and people are prone to dizziness when walking inside. It is better to stop and stay still.

Because its diameter is too small.

But for astronauts, it is already possible. At least they can eat, sleep, wash, and go to the toilet a little bit normally, and the efficiency of exercise will be higher.

In addition to this small rotating gravity cabin on the Tianting Space Station, there is also a large rotating gravity cabin.

Of course, this large-scale is compared with the "small".

The diameter of the large gravity cabin reaches 70 meters, and at a safe rotation speed, it can provide a maximum of 0.76G of simulated gravity.

The gravity here is closer to the earth, not only will life be more convenient, but also the comfort will be greatly improved.

Even in the kitchen equipped with a special and independent filter device, you can still eat cooking!

All these are prepared for customers, and the price is naturally also the standard for space customers.

An orbital shuttle ticket costs millions of dollars, so consumption in such a huge place will naturally have to be equal.

"...The three parts can finally be assembled into a huge space station that is more than 300 meters long, 180 meters wide, and 70 meters high."

"It has a mass of 2,470 tons, and the internal pressurized space has reached an astonishing 9,720 cubic meters."

"At present, the largest space facility in the world is the International Space Station. It is only about 100 meters wide, 73 meters long, 20 meters high, and has a mass of 419 tons. The internal pressurized space is 916 cubic meters."

"Three times the size, six times the mass, ten times the pressurized space, and more complete functions."

"In fact, half of the weight of the International Space Station is on trusses and solar panels, and the weight of the pressurized cabin is only about 200 tons. Tons level."

"So this is our wonder, our heavenly space station!"

After Tang Chao finished speaking the last word, the needle dropped in the conference room, and there was a quiet batch. It was not until after a few seconds of silence that there was warm applause in the conference room.

"Wow, wow--"

This plan is nothing short of it!

300 meters on the earth is the length of an aircraft carrier, and the mass of 2470 tons is half the level of a 054 frigate or a full-loaded 20380 frigate, but it is in orbit in space, which is too important.

Commercial companies fancy the commercial area, while the official fancy is the pilot zone and industrial zone, and both parties can find their favor.

Most importantly, all technology leader companies on the entire space station have.

Thinking of the things that Navigator had done more than a year after its establishment, they easily believed Tang Chao's words.

Because he did what he said.

Then the only thing to consider is how to send it to space.

It’s almost 2500 tons. How many times does it need to be transported?

If the nation is mobilized, it will take two years to produce qualified parts and then assemble them into one piece. How long does it take to launch them all?

And some of the equipment was not lucky, and the astronauts had to assemble it when they were shipped.

Doing a lot of electric welding work in the sky is free, but auxiliary docking and fixing work are their jobs.

For example, the small rotating gravity cabin has a diameter of 30 meters. Although the fairing can be made larger, it cannot be made so large.

When someone asked this question, Tang Chao smiled and said, "Do you know the Kanxing Space Program?"

Several younger technical professionals and managers in the room nodded.

Seeing someone nodded, Tang Chao pointed to the small rotating gravity capsule and said: "Its prototype is the rotating gravity capsule on the spacecraft in "The Martian", which was later made into a mod in the Kanxing game."

"Like before, we restored Kanxing's folding technology, which is similar to inflatable space station technology, but it's different."

"So don't look at it when it is expanded to 30 meters in diameter, when it is contracted, it is only 14 meters in diameter."

"Just make a slightly larger fairing, and use a super-heavy rocket to launch this 85-ton big guy into space orbit at once, and then let it unfold."

"After unfolding, there will be arc-shaped steel bars automatically connected between the cabin and the cabin, but the straight steel bars connecting the central shaft and the cabin need to be fixed by the astronauts. This is also the first time the astronauts have come into contact with space assembly operations. They themselves, because after the assembly is complete, they can live in it."

"The three-cabin structure of the Tiangong space station, our company's starry sky inn and the small rotating gravity cabin, this is the first phase of the Tianting space station."

"However, the first phase of the project will not be carried out at least one year later. Let's let our Starry Sky Hotel run commercially for one year. Now our company is about to be blocked by rich people from all over the world. If we don't let them go to heaven, we may have to Going to work in space."

After hearing what Tang Chao said, everyone else laughed.

Here are all domestic companies, and there is no business conflict with Navigator, because they are too weak to do commercial space tourism.

However, after participating in the Tianting Space Station project, after the completion of the project, whether it is technology, strength or power, there will definitely be a flying development.

This kind of super large project is the most supportive company.

With Tang Chao's guaranteed technology, the rest is to discuss and distribute production. Those who can come to the meeting are the top units and companies in the aerospace field, but they are not enough, and other heavy industry machinery companies are needed to join in.

That requires a more detailed meeting to make a decision later.

Now, it's time to eat.

After dinner, it's time to meet to discuss the publicity of this big project.

Public opinion is a very important battlefield!

Can no longer be ignored.
