Super technology leader

Human beings have the attribute of "loving the new and disgusting the old". No matter how many people say they are old, more people still like the new.

Let’s just talk about Tianxia’s navy fans. Yesterday, “I only love 055”, today is “I only like 075”, and the day after tomorrow, “I will always like 003”.

And don’t launch the beloved warship, as long as it is launched for one minute, it will immediately change from "Little Sweet" to "Mrs. Cow", and military fans will immediately love the next one.

This situation has now spread to the moon.

Before, Tianxia and Meriken had to complete a manned moon landing each within half a month, so people were all staring at the moon intently.

When the moon landed smoothly in the summer and the astronauts stationed on the moon base to carry out various scientific experiments, people's attention to the moon continued to rise.

They are not interested in scientific experiments, they are simply interested in "the moon can inhabit people".

Astronauts can live on the moon, so surely ordinary people can.

After all, the space station was used to live in astronauts before. Later, it didn't start a business model, and even now it has directly established a commercial space station to specialize in space travel.

So this pattern should be the same on the moon.

Moreover, the pilot space company participated in the entire journey. Based on people’s understanding of the pilot, the progress of commercial tourism on the moon must be faster than the original progress of commercial tourism on the space station.

As for how much money it will cost to go to the moon and what entertainment is available on the moon, most people don’t care, they just watch the excitement.

But for some people, it's true.

Those who originally planned to spend tens of millions of dollars on space travel.

According to the pricing of Navigator's space tour, one million dollars can travel in space, and several million dollars can spend a day in the starry sky inn. So tens of millions of dollars should be able to go to the moon, right?

These people originally planned to spend tens of millions of dollars to go to space. If they can use the money to go to the moon, wouldn't they be dead?

The cost of moon travel is really difficult to calculate. After all, the money for sending astronauts to the moon is not all the cost. There are many things that cannot be calculated, so the cost of official astronauts to the moon is not used as a standard.

In addition, Ma Yilong’s Starship Rocket sold tickets for lunar travel when it was being developed. In fact, it is not a ticket for lunar travel, but a sponsorship.

At that time, Ma Yilong stated that it would take about US$5 billion to develop a starship rocket, and a rich man in the cherry blossom country was willing to bear 5% of it, or US$250 million.

Since they have sponsored so much money, it is natural to let people go to the moon for a tour.

This rich man can not only go on his own, but also bring 6-8 artists together to enjoy the beauty of the moon.

Calculate according to the maximum of 9 people, one person is about 27 million US dollars, which is about the same as the early space station travel expenses.

However, this space tour is the title of "the first trip around the moon." I won't say it for the first time. It's gone anyway. The focus is on this "round the moon."

It means to go around the moon a few times without landing, and the cost of these rounds is more than $27 million.

Navigators have always been cheaper than others, and they like to do it in one step, so some people analyze that in the future, navigators will definitely be cheaper than this and get more services.

Maybe this price will round out all lunar travel items.

People are happy, Meriken’s moon landing is here, and when people are about to cheer again, the world suddenly "freezes."

Meriken's mission to return to the moon for the first time failed!

It failed, but the cooperation between Navigator and Tianxia was saved.

When people began to fear landing on the moon again, Tang Chao landed on the moon.

He not only landed on the moon, but also brought the navigator's later construction plan for the moon base.

Good guy, that's a dazzling.

After such a series of tossings, except for those core enthusiasts who can continue to be excited about the moon, most of the others have returned to their normal working lives.

But how can the navigators who have entered a period of rapid development make them return to normal?

In the past, Navigators have been building infrastructure. Now they have better production plants, more intelligent manufacturing equipment, and complete launch and take-off sites. How could it be slow to develop.

Yes, Tang Chao didn't want the earth's technological level to take off directly in situ. He wanted to make progress gradually, because he was afraid that the rapid rise of science and technology would cause some social problems to be solved in a hurry and then produce negative effects.

However, what the Navigator has now does not exceed people's imagination, and it should be realized even in people's imagination decades ago. It is only because political forces have withdrawn from aerospace, which has slowed down the development of space technology.

The development of aerospace has been very slow, and even regressed from some perspectives. The failure of Meriken's moon landing can prove this. The Navigator is only making up for the progress.

After Tang Chao returned to Earth, the plan he had made before came into operation.

What he mentioned in the live broadcast is not just to say, the space station must be upgraded, and it is definitely not just about making it bigger.

It’s not called an upgrade to make it bigger, it's only to upgrade the experience to a higher level.

How to upgrade the space station?

gravity!

Is the weightless environment novel?

novel!

But it is only a matter of a few days, and after a few days you will know how troublesome the weightless environment is.

Human beings are in a state of weightlessness in space. It is not that humans want to be weightless, but because humans cannot change this status quo.

If you add a device to the space station to allow the space station to have a space where gravity can be obtained, then the astronauts will go to the weightless environment when they need weightlessness, and go to the gravity space when they don’t need weightlessness.

Moreover, after studying the subject of "what changes will happen to human beings in a state of weightlessness" for so long, it is time to study the subject of "what happens to humans after acquiring gravity in space".

So a small simulated gravity cabin should appear.

According to the plan, this thing should not appear in the near future, and it will be next year at the earliest, but there is no way. After various basic manufacturing equipment has been upgraded, the Navigator is now building things too fast.

This simulated gravity cabin can be folded together, and the diameter after folding is less than 14 meters, but the fairing it uses is 15 meters in diameter.

This leads to another problem, that is, the Navigator’s thickest rocket is the Yuanhang, but its core diameter is only 5 meters, plus two boosters of the same specification, the width is less than 16 meters.

This 16 meters is only the "width", its "thickness" is still 5 meters, but the fairing is calculated according to the diameter.

This is equivalent to a "giant" with a body thickness of 5 meters, both arms 5 meters thick, and 15 meters in line. Its neck and body are both 5 meters thick, but it bears a height of 20 meters. Meters, 14 meters in diameter.

Is this alright?

This is not good!

But the navigator can only use it for launch now, although it is guaranteed to be successful, it looks really dangerous.

And the 5-meter-diameter rocket does limit the carrying capacity of the overall components.

When mankind cannot directly carry out space construction, the overall transportation of some components is still an important means, so the navigator needs a larger rocket.

Fortunately, it is already being designed and built, a super rocket!
