Theoretically, the Mir space station was generally recognized by the international community as Russia's property after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

For Russia, however, Mir doesn't really do anything good other than window dressing.

But as the first human space station, it was not abandoned after 1991. In fact, on the contrary, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mir is now open to the international community by Russia, and the American space shuttle has become a regular visitor.

Batch after batch of American astronauts have boarded the Mir space station, and since 1993, Mir has had to receive American space shuttles twice a year on average.

However, the good times did not last long, and the United States, after getting familiar with the technology of Mir, soon began to promote the establishment of the International space station. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and the Americans pulled Russia to engage in an international number, giving Russia a little sweetness. The cargo hold of the Dawning Dawn, the first functional cabin of the International Ship, was funded by the United States and made in Russia.

As a result, Russia is less interested in Mir, and the United States is more inclined to develop the International space station, so the treatment of Mir suddenly deteriorates.

By 1996, the Mir, which could still be maintained, was now facing the dilemma of running out of rice.

And the space station, which is thrown into the sky, is really hard to say who it belongs to.

Especially now that the East Soviet Union still exists, and Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan still have a Minsk space agency, so the relevant parties will sit down and talk about how to deal with Mir.

You Russian cub don't feel sorry for selling Ye Tian, but isn't the CPSU still dead?

But for the East Soviet Union, it was not a problem to build another ground control center, the equipment of the Baikonur space center was ready-made. However, even if the unfortunate child of Mir is really brought back, it still has to be considered whether it can be fed.

After thinking about it, the eyes of the aerospace experts on the East Soviet side naturally turned to their own rich man.

But for China's space community, Mir is a bit ambitious.

The big toy of Mir is definitely a money-losing product, and the current guiding ideology of China's space development is obviously more practical.

There is no problem with data relay, weather forecasting, global positioning, census and monitoring, and even more so broadcasting and communication. But when it comes to space stations, moon landings, and space exploration, these purely invested fields will be considered fast in ten years.

The space station is not without output, the Soviet Union once sent a single crystal furnace and some medical equipment to Mir, and also produced some products. However, it is clear that the products produced by Mir will not be able to offset the cost of its maintenance.

In terms of economic accounts, Mir actually lost money. Of course, from the perspective of the whole society, it is indeed profitable to engage in aerospace, and high investment brings about the upgrading of the entire country's technological system. However, the problem is that the scale of the entire society in the East Soviet Union is very small, and it is difficult for aerospace development itself to bring about technological improvements, and this indirect benefit will also be greatly reduced.

Seeing that Mir has become an orphan that no one loves, only the mothers of these scientists born in the Soviet Union will feel distressed.

Even if Hu Wenhai is the richest man in the world, this kind of bottomless pit project does not dare to shout, "I Hu Wenhai voted for this project!"

After all, if you don't know it, you're going to go bankrupt!

Of course, the Buran was a good deal. Hu Wenhai spent $30 million on scrap iron, bought it back and put it in the Aerospace Museum in Xiucheng University Town. This attraction alone earns at least five million a year from admissions. Therefore, it has attracted a large number of high-tech enterprises to settle down, driven the enrollment attraction of surrounding colleges and universities, and promoted the increase of urban land prices......

The Buran, in fact, is the bone of the horse.

What ordinary people see is the determination of Xinke and Xiucheng to develop high-tech industries established with the Buran, and it is the worship of knowledge, and the Buran is actually a cultural symbol. But if Hu Wenhai wants to buy the Mir, then many people will probably have to suspect that this is not a cult of knowledge, but an inflated arrogance.

Even if the Mir is barely raised by the Soviet Union, no matter how rich Hu Wenhai is, he doesn't spend it like this!

Dai Zhongshan said that the Mir was a pit, which is indeed not a slander. How much food and how much work can be done, China today has not yet reached this level.

"Captain Vitalit, please give me some time in this matter, I can't make such a big decision in such a hurry. ”

Hu Wenhai did not say anything to death, this time the East China Sea side of the East Soviet Union and Russia have helped a lot, and a big reason for his trip is to thank and express his condolences to these East Soviet experts, and to make a full gesture. 33 Listen to the book

Vitalite said......"

Hu Wenhai waved his hand, interrupted Dai Zhongshan's translation, and simply repeated what he had just said to Vitalit in Russian.

"My Russian language skills are not very good, and Vitalit does not understand a lot of technical vocabulary just now. After Hu Wenhai finished speaking Russian, he turned his head and explained: "But I have learned some Russian, and ordinary daily conversations are still fine." ”

This is the advantage of Chinese, the phonetic script can not make the meaning of the text, and the professional vocabulary is not understood. Hu Wenhai listened to Vitalite's words just now, and there were too many professional words in it, which were simply the same as listening to heavenly books. It was still with Dai Zhongshan's hint that I figured out what the other side was talking about.

Vitalite was obviously a little surprised to hear Hu Wenhai speak Russian, but quickly perked up.

"I hope that China's friends can be faster, Mir is not in very good shape. At the latest, by the end of this year, we should prepare for the launch of a cargo ship for next year's maintenance. Vitalite deliberately spoke more slowly, so that Hu Wenhai could hear clearly: "Mir urgently needs to replenish fuel, batteries, replace damaged parts, and preferably carry out a computer system upgrade......

"Vitalit Davarisi, please believe me. Hu Wenhai had no choice but to look at the old scientist's eyes seriously, and said with a straight face: "I will give you an answer as soon as possible, whether I decide to maintain the space station or not." ”

"Well, let's hope it's not too late......"

Hu Wenhai and Dai Zhongshan couldn't help but look at each other and sigh when they listened to the Soviet scientist's helpless whispers.

What is the point that the two poles of the world have fallen to such a point......

"Mr. Hu, it's cold at night, let's go first. Dai Zhongshan laughed, revitalizing the atmosphere, and then led Hu Wenhai towards the guest house.

"Dai Lao, this time the aerospace system has made a great contribution, I came to congratulate our astronauts!"

Hu Wenhai didn't wait for his ass to sit firmly, and when he thought of the situation in the East China Sea this time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The Americans have suffered such a big loss, and the chain reaction behind it may not be able to be released in a short period of time.

To mention just one side, before that, the flight of South Korean capital was not smooth. Although the South Korean chaebol did not want to be cut leeks, how could the leeks have a place to speak? Although they seized the opportunity to open up a channel into China, the situation was not smooth.

First of all, South Korea's inspection system is extremely sensitive to capital flight, and the chaebols can only channel benefits through underground means. In addition, the chaebols are not without worries about investing in China, after all, the comrades of the North American branch shout every day that they will collapse, which is a little scary to watch. No matter how good China's development momentum is, there is no guarantee that this strategic opportunity period will last for 20 or 30 years.

However, after the incident in the East China Sea, it can be said that the prestige of the US military in Northeast Asia has been seriously damaged. This is especially true for South Korea, which did not play any role in the show due to its own economic and social turmoil during the East China Sea exercises, and the vulnerability of South Korea and the U.S. forces stationed in South Korea was exposed.

After that, the South Korean prosecutor's office systematically investigated several serious violent incidents, and then the South Korean capital began to blatantly flee the country. After China has proved its strength, the international financial community generally believes that it is only a matter of time before the failure of the first island chain system of the United States is already a matter of time, and it will become very difficult for the United States to contain China's development.

It is precisely on the basis of this judgment that the speed of South Korean capital entering China has greatly accelerated, and South Korea's own economy has become more and more chaotic.

In the face of this situation, some people have even shouted "Kim Yong-san is a spy from the north!"

I don't know how many strategic dividends China will get because of this. And the reason why Hu Wenhai was able to hold down the Kitty Hawk's violent beating in this exercise, and how much role did Hu Wenhai play in this? After the war, someone will certainly write a good article on it.

Since then, what Hu Wenhai wants to do in China may be more unimpeded. Many projects that were previously limited to conditions can now be brought out and talked about.

"I'm here this time, Dai Lao should have been clear for a long time. ”

Hu Wenhai rubbed his hands: "This time the space system has made great contributions, but the country can see it, and the next great development is just around the corner." Five years ago, I mentioned that we wanted to build our own global positioning system, and then we built three synchronous orbit satellites, which can barely be regarded as a domestic network. ”

"However, the system accuracy of the three stars can be imagined, and the real practicality is to form a low-orbit constellation. With the development of our semiconductor technology, the technical foundation of the Beidou system has matured. The mathematical model is a big deal, and I don't think there is a problem. The clock has never been a problem, and the receiving and transmitting system, this GF-1 is enough to illustrate the problem......"

"From the technical point of view of each subsystem, the Beidou system has already met the conditions for launch. ”

"I came this time in the hope of asking Dai Lao to take over as the chief satellite designer of the Beidou system. ”

"My plan is to launch 15 satellites in the next 10 years to achieve basic networking functions. In the past 20 years, 50 satellites have been launched to achieve high-precision global coverage. ”
