Super technology leader

Mankind has not built a large space orbital platform, and it is impossible to manufacture orbit in space. Therefore, Tang Chao has built a larger space orbital platform this time. He can do some industrial manufacturing experiments for the future real space. The manufacturing plant lays the foundation.

The industrial area of ​​the Tianting Space Station is for this purpose. The manufacturing center on the large axis can produce some standard industrial parts, or use 3D printing to manufacture some special-shaped small parts for use by the nearby orbital repair shop.

There are two orbital repair shops, installed on both sides of the manufacturing center. They are large-structure independent compartments that can be opened like the cargo warehouse of a space shuttle, but they are larger, with a diameter of 12 meters and a length of 30 meters.

Cough, yes, there have been changes in the module of Tianting Industrial Park. Although the plan was made at the beginning, the plan...isn't it to be changed?

At the beginning, the diameter of the industrial zone was about 8 meters, but later it felt smaller, so it was modified.

Some modules with complex functions are produced by the leader themselves, so you are not afraid to modify the data. The company has the general design drawing, and then you can modify it.

Those companies that have already received production orders will not be affected, and the navigator will properly dock the things they built onto the Tianting space station.

There are many space version maintenance equipment in the maintenance module of the maintenance module, and the inside can be pressurized after the lid is closed, so you only need to wear a lightweight space suit in the cabin to work, which is very convenient.

After the expansion of the internal space, the repair shop can repair not only satellites, but also larger space station cabins.

Even the moon landing spacecraft of Benyue can be directly packed into a single maintenance bay for maintenance and repair.

If you think about it, the diameter of a maintenance bay is 12 meters, and the length is 30 meters. The Long March 9 and Yuanhang simply cannot handle it, and a larger rocket is definitely needed.

So...is there?

of course!

The Navigator is no longer the previous Navigator. After the company is fully built, Tang Chao will not be able to expand. He can always produce a kind of aerospace equipment needed at this stage for manufacturing.

But don't worry, after the rocket is released on the space station, how can a transportation vehicle take the lead.

The Benyue spacecraft can directly enter the maintenance module, but the space station modules and satellites do not have the ability to change orbit and move long distances. Therefore, the industrial zone will be equipped with two space crafts.

There are satellites that need to be repaired. After receiving the order from the corresponding company and the corresponding space agency, the repair shop can send a small boat to receive it, and then drag it back to the orbital repair shop, and put it back in the same way after repairing to ensure that the service is in place.

Man-made satellites are very precious resources. Sometimes they will be scrapped just by being hit by tiny meteorites and space junk. In fact, they may only crash into a small part, which could not be repaired before. If a small part is broken, it will be scrapped.

After the Tianting Space Station is built, there will be no problem, and it can be repaired directly if necessary.

In addition to repairs and maintenance, satellites can also be upgraded.

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 maintenance plant, the parts that can be printed in space are printed, and the parts that cannot be printed are manufactured or purchased on the ground. Then, either by car or special use of space equipment to send it up.

When the time comes, the outdated satellites will be upgraded, and after maintenance, they will become handsome again and continue to revolve around the earth.

When there is no maintenance task, the boat will not be idle. It is said that satellites are precious resources, not only the ones that are running, but also the ones that are scrapped into space junk.

The cost of transporting various materials from the earth to space is very high, even if the rocket’s recyclable technology is mastered. Now the capacity of the moon base is limited. Scientific research experiments are its main task now, and it is impossible to be an earth orbiting space station. Provide various materials.

So those space equipment that have been sent to space, have been scrapped, and have not yet fallen into the atmosphere and burned are perfect sources of materials.

Just send a spacecraft to collect them and throw them into the material recovery area of ​​the orbital manufacturing center. After some time, various materials will be sent to the manufacturing area.

This has another advantage, that is, while recycling materials, it also clears the earth's orbit, reducing the risk of satellites, space stations, and spacecraft being hit by space junk.

As for where the fuel for the spacecraft comes from, and even where the supplementary fuel comes from after satellites and other aircraft are repaired and maintained, we have to talk about the Lunar Base Project.

That is, Tianxia's plan is currently underway on the moon.

To make the Tianting space station complete and convenient to operate, the cooperation of the lunar base is indispensable.

Transporting fuel from the moon to the earth's orbit is about dozens of times cheaper than transporting fuel from the earth's ground to the space orbit. This is the advantage of the moon having no atmosphere and extremely low gravity.

After being transported, it can be stored in the four spherical fuel storage tanks behind the manufacturing center, where the fuel supply station is located.

When the Tianting Space Station plan was made, whether a large number of "ice ore" could be found on the moon was the key.

Now, none of this is a problem.

After all, there is a spacecraft on the lunar base that uses fuel extracted from moon ice to fly back to the earth's orbit.

So you see, all plans are proceeding smoothly.

Needless to say, the commercial area in the middle is the ultimate upgraded version of Starry Sky Inn.

You can play the things that the Starry Sky Inn can play, and you can also play the things that the Starry Sky Inn can't play. The play experience, the supreme upgrade, this...is the commercial area of ​​the Tianting Space Station.

If aerospace professionals are looking at scientific research areas and industrial areas, the majority of netizens are looking at commercial areas. In terms of the proportion of people, the attention of commercial areas can be overwhelming.

No way, most people can't understand highly professional things, so you can only look at things related to playing.

People have discovered that there is a space stadium in the commercial area. The rules are similar to those of ball games on the earth. All goals are scored, but its movement is really in line with the characteristics of space.

Ball games on the earth are all running on the ground. When you are successful, you just jump up, play basketball and have the title of "flying man", but in fact, you stay in the air for a long time, but when you play in space, you can really fly.

Super flying people per capita.

Players not only have to fly, but also fly fast and accurate, so they need to borrow force on the six walls of the room, then quickly intercept the ball, and then throw it out, repeating these actions in a loop until the ball is thrown in In the opponent's hole.

You can see basketball, handball, volleyball, and even billiards and other ball sports on the court, which is quite interesting.

It took a long time for Tang Chao to finish talking about the space station. After talking about this, the reporters at the scene thought that Tang Chao's commentary session was over, and it was time for them to ask questions.

As a result, when they raised their hands and waited to be selected to ask questions, Tang Chao slowly unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of water, then changed to an explanation picture, and then started speaking.

The new explanation picture seems to be a new rocket, a bit like the Starship rocket of Merrican Space Fork, but with some differences.

It has its own name next to it, called "Yishan"!

Yishan Super Rocket!

20 meters in diameter!

160 meters high!

The low earth orbit carrying capacity is 280 tons!
