Chapter 511

During the internal seminar, Ren Hong and a group of aerospace engineers focused on the construction of "Tiangong ring orbit star port".

The main structure of the "Tiangong ring orbit star port" will include the following major cabins: two core cabins with a capacity of 300 cubic meters, five experimental modules or space life cultivation rooms with a total space of 470 cubic meters, two cargo tanks with a total space of 160 cubic meters, three replenishment compartments of 100 cubic meters, 190 cubic meters and 120 cubic meters, and a giant annular centrifugal gravity system The diameter of the inner ring is more than 200 meters, reaching 218 meters.

This huge centrifugal gravity generator will be the only multi cabin space with gravity in the "Tiangong ring orbit star harbor". Here, the gravity produced by rotating centrifugal force can make astronauts in space escape from weightlessness as if they were on earth. The centrifugal gravity generator will make it possible for human beings to live permanently in space.

Here, the daily life of astronauts or scientific and technological workers in Xinggang will be located here, including personal rest rooms, bedrooms and fitness rooms. In the future, the equipment required for daily sports such as treadmills will be sent to Xinggang. The whole centrifugal gravity generator ensures that the astronauts of Xinggang can have a good guarantee in the weightless working environment of space.

The centrifugal gravity maker occupies more than 6200 cubic meters of space, and its space capacity is more than six times that of the retired international space station.

The overall outline of the "Tiangong ring orbit Xinggang" shows the shape of "Yu" under the relatively flat view. Interestingly, the outline of the "Tianzhou" currently in orbit is a "t" shape. As for the "heavenly palace", in the middle of its outline is the peacetime map of the centrifugal gravity maker. On the top, the first horizontal, the supply and cargo tanks are on the left, and the experimental module or outer space life cultivation room is on the right. In the shape of "Yu", the first core cabin is located between the two sides, and the longer section below is the second core cabin, which is also the largest core cabin.

The hook at the end of the "Yu" shape is of other use. It will become the first space telescope in the Republic of China. Although there is a 500 meter diameter super "Tianyan" radio telescope in Guizhou, the atmospheric barrier is always a factor that can not be ignored. It is urgent for this country to have its own space telescope in outer space After Chinese astronomical institutions learned of CMSX's "Gemini project", a group of most authoritative astronomers jointly petitioned to build a space telescope on the "Tiangong ring orbit star harbor".

Ren Hong saw that the document had been sent to him before and after, he did not have any hesitation, and now he agreed.

"Tianyan-2" was born from this. Once launched into space, it will become the most advanced space telescope so far, and its performance data will surpass that of the "James Weber space telescope", which once replaced the "Hubble telescope".

However, the sky high cost of tianyan-2 is more expensive than that of Weber space telescope. Ren Hong will not be foolishly paying out of his own pocket. It is nearly 10 billion US dollars. The National Astronomical organization pays for it. Ren Hong says that it can help tianyan-2 into space at the cost of transportation, and matrix technology can help maintain it, But maintenance costs have to be charged.

Familiar to familiar, a code to a code, you can discount, but never free, there is no such good thing in the world.

The expected investment of the "Gemini project" has reached the same level as the "virtual world" project, and will only be higher in the future. Space exploration is a real gold gobbler. Just a "Tiangong ring orbit star port" will cost matrix technology nearly 500 billion US dollars, let alone the "Mars mission" which is a gold gobbler.

If today's matrix technology had not laid a favorable foundation for business globalization and the super cash cow of "virtual world", Ren Hong would not have dared to play like this. Don't forget that the company still has a "western project" which is also burning funds wantonly. The two money burning "double engines" are fully started. Even the super financial owners like matrix technology are also under pressure In the future, the predictable return is unimaginable abundance, all the investment, all the efforts will get huge benefits that cannot be described by words.

The greater the investment, the more return!

For the "Tiangong ring orbit star harbor", its relative head up view is a large and striking "Yu" shape, but its relative top view is not the same. Large and small cabins are connected together. Fortunately, the air resistance in outer space can be ignored, and there are not so many requirements for the shape of Xinggang.

The length of the "Yu" shape from top to bottom is more than 300 meters, which is almost comparable to a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. The air fortress is worthy of its name, but this length is not the longest in a period of time.

In addition to the above structure, two large trusses over 230 meters will be erected in the second core cabin of the "heavenly palace". If the top horizontal of the "Yu" shape is removed, and the whole Xinggang is rotated 90 degrees for head up viewing, a "Yu" shape will appear in the "Tiangong". If the removed upper transverse is added, it will appear a "Yu" shape A "King" character appears, with a tail and a hook under it.The two trusses docking in the second core module are not antennas, but the two berthing ports of Xinggang, which are also the real protagonists of the "Mars mission". After the completion of the two trusses, they will become two super spaceships. At that time, they will separate from Xinggang, carry a large amount of material and some landers to Mars, and become on orbit sub stations in Mars orbit As the first human space station in Mars orbit, the material on another truss will become a sentinel base on the surface of Mars.

All of these are the plans that are finally established after repeated discussions and studies or experimental simulation by engineers.

The general structure of "Tiangong ring orbit star port" has been established. Ren Hong left after discussing with Liu Yuliang and others for a period of time. It is not easy for Ren Hong to send 7700 tons of Xinggang into outer space. It is not something that Ren Hong can do alone. Many details that he does not care about need engineers to conquer and break one day and night Potential danger.

As a result, "China matrix" has become a subsidiary of the group company with the largest number of employees, reaching 2000 employees. Nearly two thirds of them are science and technology engineers. They can obtain so many elite talents. Some talents, such as Liu Yuliang, who are both technical and management personnel or top scientists like Professor Wan Yuanxi, are not supported by the National Aeronautics and Astronautics administration and the government It's impossible for the back support to work for CMSX.

In the afternoon, Ren Hong arrived at the control center of the launch tower. At this moment, the first flight test flight of the "arc hawk-1" space transport aircraft will be carried out around dusk. This flight test is particularly critical. It is not only to test the performance of the "arc hawk-1", but also to test the launch tower. This is a "double inspection" flight test mission.

"Boss!" Ding Yangjing quietly came to Ren Hong and said in a low voice: "according to the schedule, you have an appointment meeting. In half an hour, you should meet the boss of Bigelow Aerospace Company."

"Is there such a thing?" Ren Hong is not sure that he doesn't understand his work schedule, activities and arrangements. He basically needs to be reminded by Ding Yang.

Meet Bigelow in half an hour? This made him a little embarrassed, because there was going to be a test flight soon. After thinking about it, he moved his mind and said, "you can respond to Bigelow now. If he wants to, he can bring him here, or he can postpone it. Goodbye when he is free. By the way, when is he free?"

"A month and a half later." Ding Yang wanted to come for a moment, then replied.

"I don't see you in a month. In this way, do as I say, no pulling down After that, Ren Hong turned his eyes to the busy staff on the launch tower and runway. The snow-white "arc Eagle No.1" air-to-sky transport plane was on the horizontal runway field. At this moment, the engineers were carrying out various arrangements around the transport aircraft.
