"Yes, even ordinary iron containing asteroids are very valuable. We should know that the tonnage of spaceships capable of interplanetary navigation in the future will not be small.
The amount of iron needed will certainly be very large. Similarly, if these resources are launched from the earth to space, the cost is too high, so it is the most worry free thing to obtain resources directly from space! "
"If you look at other people's infinite gravitation group, you're looking at the resources of the asteroid belt now. I don't know when I can officially exploit the resources there. It's very interesting to think of the scene when I want to think of it!"
“fuck! Our country's annual military funding is 700 billion US dollars, but the funding in space field is not even one tenth of this figure. It is not even as much as the investment of infinite gravitation group. No wonder they will surpass it in this respect. " An old American friend can not help but make complaints about his own government.
"Your country still has so many funds. Our small countries don't even have the ability to allocate funds." A small South Asian netizen said with emotion.
Speaking of this topic, everyone's interest has risen. Interest is the most moving thing. Although we all know the value of the resources of the asteroid belt, there are few who have the ability to develop them. Therefore, we are so interested in the space program of the infinite gravitation group.
In the chat, the launch of the asteroid belt probe assembly officially started. Everything was as smooth as the last launch. The rocket thruster ignited smoothly and accelerated until the solar sail was opened and the ion engine was ignited successfully. The combination will start to enter the scheduled separation orbit after 80 days' journey.
In this orbit, 60 asteroid belt probes will be put into the predetermined position respectively, and then the combination will be accelerated by Jupiter's gravity, and the extrasolar probe at its apex will go to the deep space of the universe.
After encouraging everyone, Lei Tiantang asked Zhang hanxiu around him with a smile: "these two experimental launches are all successfully completed. How are you preparing for the later combined launch plan?"
"Now it can only be said that the launch is successful. The specific results still need to wait for whether these detectors can be successfully separated from the combination, and then smoothly reach the predetermined orbit, and whether the detectors can smoothly carry out the detection work after reaching the orbit.
Only when the final detector is fully functional will our two launches be considered as real success, and then we will proceed with the next plan.
Because only by mastering all the data of the two launches, we can better plan the launch plan of the more important detector combination in the future. Otherwise, it will easily cause problems if we blindly catch up with the schedule, which will cause waste of funds to the company and delay the company's empty plan, which will not be worth the loss!
Therefore, although we have already started the research and development of the subsequent detector combination, the progress is not too fast. This year, the launch plan of such combination will certainly not be available. If everything goes well, the launch plans of more combinations in the future will focus on next year.
Next year, we plan to launch about three groups of different types of detector combinations. At that time, we will make some technical optimization based on the data obtained from these two launches Zhang explained.
When he said this, Lei Tiantang understood that some things were really in a hurry. Although he wished that the company could build a spaceship that could fly faster than light speed or jump in space tomorrow, he also knew that it was impossible. Even if he opened a plug-in, he was not such a black technology type.
So we can only do it step by step. Fortunately, he has been very satisfied with the current development speed. At present, the company's main energy is still on the development and construction of the moon and Mars. The development of asteroid belt and even the further development plan of planetary resources in the solar system will be at least 10 years later, and the exploration of this aspect will not delay.
While they were celebrating and discussing the company's future plans, many countries that had just watched the launch live of the asteroid belt probe assembly could not sit still.
If they can comfort themselves with the launch of the previous TDRS spacecraft combination, they can't help but face up to this matter with a smile!
Previously, they said that such a launch was a sensational thing. Now the second launch of infinite gravity group has been successfully completed, which shows that their company has really mastered such advanced launch technology, which makes these countries a bit numb!
We should know that the advantages of such a groundbreaking combination launching method are too obvious, which is much more than that of the traditional space powers which use the traditional launch method to launch the detector, whether in terms of launch cost or launch efficiency.
What's more, they all know that the ambitious space program of the infinite gravitation group is really being pushed forward step by step. It's totally different from those space companies in their country who like to blow off their guns!
Therefore, within a few days after the news report of the successful launch of the infinite gravitation group, the old US government urgently announced an additional 20 billion US dollars in the space field, which will be invested in the relevant development plans of the moon and Mars. The space program for the infinite gravitation group is very obvious.Meanwhile, the European Union and the League of landlords, the space race allies, have also announced more funding plans. They have no weakness in allocating an additional $20 billion each. They have also increased their efforts to attract talents and do not want to fall behind in such competition.
However, the three countries, which originally wanted to force themselves, couldn't keep up with the pace this time. Originally, they wanted to carry out independent research and development in the space field. After all, they also claimed to be a powerful country in science and technology. However, this dream was shattered by the last explosion, and now they are still arguing with other countries about the compensation issues.
Even if they want to join other space race leagues now, it is difficult for them to gain an advantage in negotiations with these alliances if the three countries can still bite their teeth to pay for compensation.
The reputation of the three countries in the world is very famous. They are used to buying everything. It is not easy to settle down to do scientific research. What's more, in such an era of fierce competition, we don't know how much more money we have to spend to keep up with the pace of space race.
