Chapter 506

In fact, Ren Hong himself did not dabble in space technology, but the space technology process of matrix technology is still in full swing. The most important factor that can not be ignored is the support of the CAA behind the scenes, which not only shares technology with "China matrix", but also delivers a large number of talents. Ren Hong has actually issued some task indicators, his biggest work or research object at present It is mainly the technology decoding of blue water giant.

With Liu Yuliang at the helm of the "China matrix", Ren Hong only needs to invest money and formulate the general direction of control. If there are any technical difficulties that cannot be overcome, he will join in. Fortunately, he is not needed very much at present.

However, the space technology of "China matrix" has another biggest characteristic, which is also Ren Hong's greatest contribution, that is, the huge difference between the system and the Western space technology. Because of the existence of "Purple source crystal", the space technology of "China matrix" is developing towards another turning point. In other words, it is more advanced. The "Purple source crystal" with small volume and high energy storage is used as the power source It means that we can completely abandon the bloated rocket launch, carry more materials, and greatly reduce the launch cost.

Due to the discovery of "purple crystal", this completely different launch tower has completely changed the development direction of matrix technology and even the whole country in the space technology system.

Yes, the tower is not used for rocket launch, but for the launch of space transport aircraft. For example, "Fox Hawk" space transport aircraft, this model of transport aircraft is specialized for transporting materials to space, with a length of 42 meters, a wingspan of 18 meters, and a maximum effective load of 63 tons of materials.

The size of the arc Hawk is much smaller than that of the retired U.S. space shuttle Columbia, but its payload is more than twice that of Columbia. To achieve this, it is necessary to rely on the energy supply of "purple crystal" as a power propeller.

The bloated "Columbia" space shuttle needs a large part of the mass for propulsion fuel, but for the "arc Eagle" space transport aircraft powered by "ziyuanjing", a purple stone of the size of a pop can can can bear all the energy supply needed by the whole transport plane to and from space, which means that most of the energy is occupied by fuel Both space and payload can be used to transport materials.

And completely abandoned the rocket, which is an absolute turning point for the human space industry.

The launch tower has completely replaced the rocket. The "arc Eagle" space transport plane enters the launch orbit of the launch tower on the take-off runway. In a short time of nine seconds, the space transport plane can obtain an acceleration of 3.5 g when the transport plane is separated from the launch tower with the help of a semi-U-shaped ejection orbit in a short time of nine seconds, while the "arc Eagle" space transport plane has 36000 km / h Speed, more than the U.S. space shuttle speed of 8000 kilometers per hour.

According to the plan, the mass of "Tiangong ring orbit Xinggang" is as high as 7700 tons, and the "arc Eagle" is calculated according to the standard material load of 50 tons, at least 150 times of transportation between outer space and the earth.

It is just an aerial transport machine, and its efficiency is too slow. Therefore, China matrix plans to build 10 "arc Hawk" space transport planes to meet the transportation demand.

Fortunately, the discovery and application of "ziyuanjing" has greatly reduced the cost of space activities of matrix technology. If the launch vehicle is used to undertake the launch of materials for the construction of ring orbit star port, the number of launch and transportation will be doubled to more than 300 times due to the load of the rocket, and the supply of rockets will certainly not keep up with it, resulting in the construction cycle of the ring orbit star port And that expensive, low-cost, inefficient launch cost is enough to make people despair.

A launch costs 150 million to 300 million US dollars, which is enough for more than 300 times of transportation, and the freight cost alone exceeds 50 billion dollars. Even the super financial owners like matrix technology can't afford it.

Fortunately, the "China matrix" does not have these worries. The existence and utilization of ziyuanjing make the "China matrix" obtain the low cost of space exploration, which is the incomparable advantage of Western space exploration.

Ren Hong left the launch tower control center and went to the production workshop. "China matrix" is located in the north of the company headquarters, covering an area of 360 hectares, which is larger than that required by the R & D and production center of any subsidiary of matrix technology. No way, this is the characteristic of the "China matrix". A launch tower and take-off runway will occupy a large space, and there must be protection around it, and a lot of land will be left.

Ren Hong inspected the space base for most of the day, and he had a general understanding of all the planning process. To his surprise, the progress of the project was much faster than he expected. However, it's easy to think about it. Such a fast efficiency also depends on the technology tree shared by matrix technology, the support of the external NASA and the government, and the "help" of the big brother companies. For example, the subsidiary AI is about to provide a batch of intelligent equipment production troops to help the material production of "Tiangong ring rail Xinggang".

As long as the raw materials arrive, the intelligent machinery manufacturing production line can be fully started, and the efficiency of production and manufacturing is enough to be described by dreams.

On the third day, the tepid "China matrix space exploration technology company" announced important news.

"China matrix" has not been exposed since its inception, and all the limelight has been snatched away by the project plans of brother companies. Now, the high-profile announcement of important plans has immediately attracted the attention of the industry, especially Astrophysics and Astronomy and other related scientific institutions.No one dares to belittle this company. Although matrix technology is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, it is backed up by one of the world's top Aerospace powers. No one dares to ignore this "new player". The shadow of NASA in China matrix is not covered up, just as NASA is relative to SpaceX.

Interestingly, the "China matrix" released news. Aida institutions, which just concluded the sixth "star defense" conference not long ago, expressed their great pleasure because they thought that the news released by "China matrix" this time should be to join Aida. In fact, the outside media generally think so.

Agence France Presse's media also reported that matrix technology is worthy of joining Aida. Although it is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, it is not weaker than the new upstarts such as SpaceX and alphabet, nor weaker than the old aerospace enterprises such as Lara space system. There is no doubt about the potential of xlous.

"What? Refuse? " Didymus, the head of Aida, which is still in Cologne, Germany, is staring at the ceiling. The voice coming from thousands of miles away from the communicator came into the ear again: "yes, sir, the other party's" euphemistic "refusal to join

After the communication, didymons murmured, "how can he refuse? Is it retaliation for trying to apply for the promoter of the ninth space agency

After thinking about it, didymons shook his head again. It didn't look like Chinese style. This group of foreigners can't think that the space technology they are proud of is already expensive and cheap in Ren Hong's eyes, and they just despise it.

The news of matrix technology's refusal of Aida's invitation to join has been spreading rapidly, which surprised the industry. The consensus prediction of the mainstream voice made a collective error. At the same time, it did not understand why to give up such an opportunity. In the past, it tried to apply to join Aida, but today it refused without hesitation. Is it an act of will? Or something else?

For a while, there were different opinions. The media at the helm immediately pulled Aida out. Matrix technology's "euphemistic" refusal was too shameful. Aida has lost its face to the South China Sea in the world this time. The daily mail can not help joking, reminding Aida not to exaggerate without full assurance. I hope it will not be so shameful again.

Matrix technology's refusal and naked face slapping behavior is tantamount to saying goodbye to Aida completely. Aida, one of the parties concerned, only briefly released a message saying that the resolution was regrettable, and then it was over.

"China matrix" announced a formal press conference a week later, and announced a large-scale space exploration project called "Gemini project" on the parent company's official website.

In this concise message of less than 50 Chinese characters, matrix technology made a simple information disclosure on the "Gemini project", which is a general term, which is composed of "sentinel mission" and "Mars mission" respectively.

The outside world does not know what the "sentinel mission" in the "Gemini plan" announced by matrix technology is. It is impossible to interpret useful information from the literal sense alone, and the official has not explained it. If you want to know the exact information, you can only wait for the release of more details.

However, the other mission of the "Gemini project" is different, that is, the Mars mission, and the two bold characters of "Mars" are placed there. Although there is no specific explanation like "sentinel mission", it can be seen from the big word "Mars" that this so-called "Gemini project" is bound to be related to the exploration of Mars, and it is definitely a matrix science and technology ambition The space program.

To hold a press conference, it is absolutely not a trifle.

A brief piece of official news immediately attracted the attention of the global astronomy and Astrophysics practitioners as well as the major space field practitioners.

Matrix technology announced that it was going to hold a press conference, and the media all over the world loved to see it. Because referring to the past examples, the subscription amount and click through rate of the company at that stage of each press conference were soaring rapidly, which could be converted into real money.

For a short time, the major mainstream media in the world sent reporters to attend the press conference of "China matrix" at the press conference of matrix science and technology headquarters.
