Chapter 479 Next Generation Space Station (2)

The "Tiangong" space station is Huaxia's own space station built by relying on its own efforts. It is more of a carrier of Huaxia's exploration and experiments in the construction of the space station. In a sense, the "Tiangong" space station is An experimental transitional product.

This point can be seen from the design period of the structure and operation of the 'Tiangong' space station, which is only 10 years.

The "Tiangong" space station consists of the core module "Tianhe" core module, the experimental module I "Wentian" experimental module, the experimental module II "Mengtian" experimental module, the cargo spacecraft "Tianzhou" cargo spacecraft, The manned spacecraft 'Shenzhou' consists of five parts.

The "Tiangong" space station has a design life of 10 years and a scale of 80 tons. Each group of astronauts will take turns with the next group of astronauts after staying for 6 months to complete the continuous space resident mission. The number of astronauts in each group is 3 people. .

It is precisely because Huaxia has never built a space station and has no experience, so the 'Tiangong' space station is actually an experimental space station and a transitional space station.

It can only meet China's short-term aerospace needs, but cannot meet China's long-term aerospace needs.Ten years later, once the design and operation period is up, it can basically be declared that the 'Tiangong' space station will be decommissioned.

Because ten years later, even if we push it according to the current common sense, we know that the 'Tiangong' space station will no longer be able to meet China's development needs ten years later.

Qin Yuanqing used his own laptop to create what he thought would be a space station in 10 years' time. Qin Yuanqing is the one who can grasp China's future 10 years from now. After all, only Qin Yuanqing knows about many confidential scientific research tasks.

And some Qin Yuanqing will promote in the next few years, only Qin Yuanqing knows in his heart, others don't know at all.

Unknowingly, on the third day of the meeting, Qin Yuanqing felt that it was necessary for him to speak out. Otherwise, if the discussion continued today, a consensus and meeting minutes would be formed to determine the direction of research and development of the next generation of space stations. A lot of unnecessary waste.

"Comrades, your positive speeches in the past two days are very good. I can see your confidence in the development of China's aerospace industry!" Qin Yuanqing took the lead in speaking at the beginning of the morning meeting. The conference room was silent, and everyone Looking at Qin Yuanqing who was sitting at the front, many people showed surprise in their eyes.

You must know that Qin Yuanqing didn't say a word for the first two days. Everyone thought that Qin Yuanqing recognized their ideas and opinions, or that Qin Yuanqing's energy was not focused on aerospace and he didn't want to speak much.

Unexpectedly, just after the meeting started on the third day, Qin Yuanqing would speak immediately.

Although Qin Yuanqing seldom appears in the aerospace field, no one will underestimate Qin Yuanqing. They are very aware of Qin Yuanqing's influence. After all, Shuimu's aerospace-related majors are also ranked among the top three in China.

Qin Yuanqing focused everyone's attention on himself, and then asked the staff to connect the cable of the projector to his computer. The huge screen in the front, as Qin Yuanqing opened the model, suddenly saw a disc-shaped giant space station full of science fiction .

This disc-shaped giant space station has a smaller disc on the upper part and a larger disc on the lower part. The middle of the two discs is a full-scale cabin, and the space between the cabin and the disc is formed by an axis.

Everyone looked at the sci-fi disc giant space station on the screen, and they all opened their mouths, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Could it be that Qin Yuanqing watches too many sci-fi movies or sci-fi novels, and dares to come up with such a space station that only exists in sci-fi movies and sci-fi novels? How can such a space station be built by China ten years later, that is, 100 years later? , Huaxia can't build it!

"Everyone, take a look at the next-generation space station I have made in the past two days. I named this space station 'Double Ring Space Station'. The radius of the upper disc is 500 meters, and the radius of the lower disc is 1000 meters. The upper and lower discs are living areas. , the command area, and the material area, through perfect rotation to form artificial gravity, so that astronauts can stay on the space station for a long time, and there will be no "space motion sickness". Each node in these areas is equipped with anti-gravity devices. It is launched with anti-gravity technology, and at the same time it is used as the docking place for the space shuttle and the space station, and these places are communication devices, communication with the earth and satellites!"

"In the middle of the double ring, there are two experimental cabins and power plants. Each experimental cabin can meet a large number of experimental needs. The living cabin, command area, and material area are connected by each rod, and they can enter the experimental cabin for space experiments. The two power units in the middle are two controllable nuclear fusion reactors. These two controllable nuclear fusion reactors will provide a steady stream of energy for the 'Double Ring Space Station' and meet the various needs of the 'Double Ring Space Station'! "

Qin Yuanqing continued: "The best perigee of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is 398.8 kilometers, and the apogee is 428.6 kilometers. The first phase of the project, and the first ring project, and the second ring project, the service life of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is designed according to 90 to 51.8 years!"

Qin Yuanqing continued to talk about his own thoughts and assumptions, while others were numb to hearing, no matter it was the 'Double Ring Space Station' full of science fiction, or its large scale, high construction difficulty, or large investment , It was a hammer to their souls and hearts.

It is estimated that such a 'dual-ring space station' cannot be built for ten consecutive years.What's more, the technical difficulties involved are simply massive. Whether it's special materials that can resist space radiation, or controllable nuclear fusion, or anti-gravity technology, it makes people's scalp numb and their hearts feel powerless just thinking about it. .

There is also the terrifying investment, which is 3 trillion yuan at the beginning. You must know that the investment in the "Tiangong" space station is 600 billion yuan, totaling more than [-] billion US dollars.And the huge sum of money for the 'Tiangong' space station is not even a fraction of this 'Double Ring Space Station'.

And even the 'International Space Station', which took more than 10 years to complete and cost about 1000 billion U.S. dollars, is already terrifying.Even the "Space Mushroom" space station proposed by the United Space Block Structure Company now requires an investment of 3000 billion US dollars, which is about 1.77 trillion yuan, which is almost half of the "Double Ring Space Station".

Considering the actual purchasing power of the two, the difference is at least five or six times.

Such a large investment makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it. It is impossible to invest such a large amount of money in this 'Double Ring Space Station'.

Qin Yuanqing's introduction lasted all morning.

By the time of lunch, the technical experts in the meeting room all had stiff and numb faces, obviously they hadn't reacted from the shock.

Qin Yuanqing sighed, can the layout be bigger? Why do you always want to make small troubles, why don't you want to come up with big tricks?

Sure enough, the heights were overwhelming, and he clearly proposed a space station plan that was reasonable, feasible, and able to meet future development. As a result, others didn't understand it at all, didn't understand it, let alone understood it, and even thought he was crazy.

"Xiao Ma, do you think Academician Qin is crazy? How could he come up with such an outrageous plan? Doesn't he know that science fiction novels and science fiction movies are illusory and fake? Illusion is illusory, reality is reality , Such a space station, not to mention 10 years, 20 years, even 100 years!" An extremely smart middle-aged man felt that the food in his hand was not delicious, and he muttered to his friend.

"Xiao Niu, I also think that Academician Qin is crazy. He probably has been researching some theory recently and has become obsessed. But I have to say that the model of the 'Double Ring Space Station' he made is really full of sci-fi beauty! With this Ability, he can get very good even if he doesn't engage in education and scientific research." Xiao Ma said to his friend 'Niu Benben'.

Xiao Ma, named Ma Donglai, graduated from Beihang University, and was in the same class as Niu Benben. They also engaged in the aerospace industry after graduation.

"This 'Double Ring Space Station', I guess people can't figure it out, it's something God can do it." When Niu Benben said this, he lowered his voice: "Do you think Academician Qin is studying theology recently? He talks about science. The end is theology, could Qin Yuanqing repeat the mistakes of Newton?"

As the backbone of China's aerospace industry today, Ma Donglai and Niu Benben actually know China's aerospace technology very well. They are currently at the world's leading level and belong to the first echelon in the world. The problem is, it is feasible from a technical point of view.

Chang'e-[-] landed on the moon, returned to the earth, and brought back a large amount of lunar soil. For the same reason, it is natural to send people to the moon, and then return to the earth from the moon.

But they believe that even after ten years of development, it is impossible to have the ability to build a 'dual-ring space station'.

For example, controllable nuclear fusion, this technology alone, even if they are not in this field, know that controllable nuclear fusion technology has always been hailed as "forever 50 years", and no one knows when controllable nuclear fusion technology will be realized .

For example, anti-gravity, this concept only exists in science fiction and science fiction movies, and theoretically, no one has created the relevant theory and basis for anti-gravity, but artificial gravity is more reliable.

Not to mention the idea of ​​moving quantum computers to the 'Double Ring Space Station', and everyone uses quantum computers for office work.

Of course, those who are engaged in aerospace engineering know very well that space is actually not safe. There are countless space debris, space junk, and extraterrestrial meteorites, not to mention the ever-present ultraviolet rays that are corrosive to steel or materials, making the life of the space station extremely short. It can't last long, but Qin Yuanqing casually mentioned that the service life of the space station is 30 to 50 years.
Qin Cannon! ?

The two couldn't help but think about Qin Yuanqing's nickname in the early years, and they understood why some people called Qin Yuanqing "Qin Dapao" before.

This is simply less reliable than the cannons of the Republic of China.
