Super technology leader

Meriken, small meeting room of the space agency.

After the joint meeting with senior politicians, senior think tanks, and generals is over, people from the space agency will also gather for a meeting to make arrangements and adjustments to some of the issues raised in the meeting just now.

The rush to progress must be completed before the deadline.

Suddenly unimportant tasks are in the back row, so don't take up the time of important tasks.

Such as the restoration of manned moon landing capabilities, the test flight of the Adventure Star spacecraft, the first flight of the starship system, the experiment of space armament equipment, etc., all have to go forward.

"Now we are urging the progress of Adventure Star again. We must find a way to complete the ground test as soon as possible, otherwise we will definitely not be able to keep up with the timetable set by those people."

As the director of the space agency, these tasks are all pressured on Jim.

In the past two years, the aerospace industry has been turbulent. Because of the existence of the navigator, the absolute leading position of the Meriken Space Agency is no longer, and there is even a time when it is suppressed, so he is not a director.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone knew that the director of the space agency was not good enough, so no one took his shift, so he stayed in front of him.

Therefore, as the chief, if the order is suppressed from above, he can also suppress the people below.

Well, it's not actually too much pressure. After all, he is just a director. Some high-ranking scientists of the space agency are not something he can offend.

"For the issue of progress, we can think of a way," the director of the Adventure Star project team groaned: "At present, our ground test has reached 90%. It can be said that the progress is quite fast, and we have let everyone Working overtime, so far, no one has ever taken a vacation."

"If we want to be faster, then we can only reduce some less...important ground tests. You can take a look at our test catalog..."

With that, the project director projected a picture on the big screen, which was the ground test project of Adventure Star.

There are also some pictures behind, which are some scenes tested by Adventure Star.

Judging from the comparison between it and the surrounding environment, it is indeed a real Adventure Star project, not the technical verification X-33 test machine.

This Adventure Star "Sky Plane" has a length of 40 meters, a wingspan of 42 meters, and a height of 10 meters with landing gear.

It has an empty weight of 120 tons, a total takeoff weight of 1,200 tons, and a payload of 25 tons.

Comparing the total takeoff weight of the Navigator company with its empty weight, and the carrying capacity of up to 25 tons, it can be said to be quite an exaggeration, and it is also the source of confidence for the Meriken Space Agency.

In the beginning, the main purpose of "Adventure Star" was to develop an unmanned artificial satellite launcher, but now its mission positioning has changed, so besides that, it has been given other auxiliary and optional uses.

It can be used as a passenger plane to carry passengers, and is mainly used for intercontinental and intercontinental long-distance flights, and because the "Adventure Star" adopts an unmanned design, the passengers will be regarded by the "Adventure Star" just like artificial satellites. It is a cargo being carried.

Even for aliens appearing in the solar system, the cargo it carries can also be missiles, nuclear bombs, laser weapons, electromagnetic weapons and other equipment.

To put it more simply, the "Adventure Star" is expected to be a low-cost launcher that can quickly travel to and from space, and has a modular delivery system design, which can be carried by artificial satellites, passengers, or return. Between the earth and the space station, it carries necessary supplies and even weapons for the space station.

The reason why it finally passed the stage of the "X-33" test machine and directly entered the ultimate version of Adventure Star is because of the technological advancement in recent years.

After technical demonstration, the technologies that need to be developed before are not only available, but some have been updated for more than one generation, and the existing technologies have reached a whole new level.

Moreover, the previous design was reviewed. Some designs have fallen behind. After replacing them with new technologies, the performance of Adventure Star has been greatly improved.

Because of the great technological development, they dare to remove some...less important projects.

"I think the No. 6 test project can be removed. Its importance in the entire system is ranked third. Even if it is removed, it will not have a big impact. At most, there will be some communication problems when crossing the atmosphere. But experience The rich mission execution team will be able to deal with various situations wisely, and after entering space, they can replace the backup communication module."

"Indeed, I agree with this, and this communication system has been tested on the Dragon spacecraft. Although the platform has been changed this time, the Dragon spacecraft is also a reusable spacecraft..."

The issue of the deletion of ground test items needs to be considered for a long time, and all aspects must be considered. After all, it is the key to whether the Adventure Star aircraft can successfully test flight, and even whether it can be successfully finalized, and then mass produced.

After all, sometimes items that can be deleted but not deleted are the core of the success of the entire project.

In addition to these, everything that was said at the previous meeting must be discussed.

The most important thing is to discuss the new space food.

They talked about the new space food and the physical and mental health of the astronauts at previous meetings, but those politicians and generals didn’t seem to care much. They renewed their concern about when Meriken would resume its manned moon landing capability, and they were concerned about Meriken. When can you have your own space forces and turn the space army into a real space army?

Those people didn't care, but the scientists of the space agency had to care, so they also discussed their own new space video.

While discussing, the assistant sitting next to Jim suddenly received a message.

It was a message from other assistants outside, and I was surprised when I looked at it.

I quickly returned the information and asked in detail.

The more I asked, the more surprised.

Finally, he clarified the question, and he quickly said to Jim in a low voice: "Director, there is one thing you need to know. The Star Navigator Group has obtained it through the official website. Like we have sent... an invitation, I don’t know how to describe it. This kind of invitation, it is not a normal business cooperation, nor is it an official note, you should take a look at it yourself."

With that said, he gave Jim the tablet that he had just wiped and responded to.

Jim is also curious, his assistant is usually very capable of doing things, and now this is a lot of mess.

As a result, when he saw it, his expression became more and more alarmed.

"My God, the navigator really has a problem for us."

He pinched his eyebrows in embarrassment. He looked at the technicians who were still discussing how to make the astronauts "physical and mentally healthy", and organized the language.

He knocked on the table, "Well, everybody, listen to me, something very important."

As soon as this posture appeared, everyone who had been buzzing just now became quiet.

"It's like this. I already know what everyone discussed just now, but it was the Star Pilot Group who took the initiative to find it, and it was their boss-Tang Chao."

"Mr. Tang Chao personally talked to me just now, and he said that he intends to transfer to us the new generation of space food technology."

"The new generation of space food contains more technology than we thought. Maintaining the original shape is only the most basic technology, and it is only related to delivery technology. Its real technology is to allow astronauts to taste the same as the earth, even The new drug formula can reduce the occurrence of space diseases in the human body and make the body more adaptable to the space environment..."

"There is also the'food reduction machine' that we saw before. Its manufacturing cost is not as high as we expected. As long as there is a space in the space, one can be installed at a very small cost..."

"..."

Jim said a lot, and finally he talked about what made him embarrassed, "According to Mr. Tang Chao, he is sharing technology in the name of a community with a shared future for mankind, not any authorization, so all technologies are free. "

"For the aerospace industry, this is a surprising situation. The spirit of Navigator and Mr. Tang Chao is very high. I used to think he was a scientific and technological genius, but today I have a new understanding of him."

"It's just that except for our space agency, other places recognize this'claim the community of destiny', that's hard to say. Everyone has lived in Meriken for so many years, and they should all know..."

Listening to the director's statement, the people at the scene were stupid. As people from the space agency, most of them were technicians, so they were very happy about technology sharing.

Not only did they think about it once, what would happen if all the space agencies on Earth cooperated?

The technologies they own are all made public, so that everyone can have good aerospace technologies, and then choose a field to study. The progress will definitely be fast. Finally, there will be a few in one, and maybe now a real spaceship will come out. Up.

Never do repeated technical research, it would be too wasteful of resources and time.

Unfortunately, it is not the technicians who dominate the world.

Now, Navigator has proposed the concept of "community with a shared future for mankind", and based on this concept, some technologies must be disclosed.

This……

It was originally a good thing, and Meriken’s senior executives would definitely be happy. After all, they would even laugh at the Navigator as a big fool with the technology in vain.

But it is impossible for them to identify with any community. Even if there is such a community, it must be the one that Meriken takes the lead, and it is absolutely the same.

It's still the same kind of talk.

"You go to do that, he goes to do that, you have to give me a confession, he wants to give me a gift, and I, lie down and wait to collect the money."

The thought of those pictures made everyone in the conference room worried.

Technology is definitely needed, because it can really make their space food technology rise a lot, plus the single-stage orbiting adventure star sky plane will be tested, and all the technologies are available.

It's just that the technology can't be for nothing, how to "return the gift" really stumped them.

When they were troubled, Tang Chao, the instigator, had already talked to many senior officials of the space agency. Compared with the entanglement on the shore of Meriken, most other space agencies were still interested in this plan.

They also watched the previous video, tried to analyze it, and analyzed a lot of things.

And Tang Chao talked more with them, and his skills were also deep.

Of course, Tang Chao is not really that selfless, and the human democratic movement community can not be achieved by simply sharing technology.

To be honest, the human group is really cheap, and free things will never be cherished.

People will be flattered when especially valuable things are shared for free, but after a long time, free becomes a normal state, and most human thoughts will have amazing changes.

So have a strategy.

The free things are only for fishing. When the fish is hooked, there are more exciting things waiting for those fish.

It may be a stick, it may be a fishing net, it may be a cutting board, or it may be a luxuriously decorated fish tank.

Congratulations behind Tang Chao are amazing.

He finished talking with a director of the space agency, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window deeply lazy.

"Ah~"

"Butler, put out the previous space station model and put it in front of me."

"Okay, BOSS."

The glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room is actually a transparent display. After Tang Chao gave the order, several models of the space station were displayed.

These space stations are not the same as the current space stations, but look similar to the "Heaven Space Station" he is preparing to build. Their common feature is that they all carry a rotating simulated gravity cabin, both large and small.

Some of them don't even know if they are considered space stations, because they have propellers on them.

Tang Chao scanned all the space stations, and finally cast his gaze on the Tianting Space Station. After all, it was the first finalized space station with a rotating simulated gravity capsule.

It is an "upgrade" across the age.

"It's still this classic, just use it as a fishing net."

Swiping with both hands on the floor-to-ceiling windows, he pushed the other space station models aside, leaving the Tianting space station alone.

Then zoom in, watch, zoom in, and watch carefully.

He pressed a few more times, and the model gradually changed from reality to reality.

The materialized part is the part that has been created so far.

In this regard, Navigator and the Tianxia National Team have information exchange, and how many modules have been built are updated in real time.

From the current status of the model, the overall progress is quite good, much faster than the previous plan.

So when he is thinking about making this project public, is it to follow the plan and make it public?Or did he discuss with the national team recently and make it public according to his new plan?

This is a question worth considering.

After thinking about it, he still plans to communicate with that side. After all, more communication can reduce misunderstandings. Many misunderstandings are caused by lack of communication.

No matter what it is.

And the community with a shared future for mankind has always been something Tianxia mentions, although... it doesn't mean the same thing as the leader mentioned.

But almost, it can be integrated.

Time does not stop for anyone. It always keeps moving forward. A few days later, the starship system of the Meriken Space Fork successfully flew for the first time, marking another super-heavy launch vehicle for mankind.

However, although the name is very powerful, it is still not very helpful for human deep space exploration. The key "space refueling" program has not broken through, and it can only revolve in the orbit of the earth.
