Chapter 682 HSDA and ESG
October is no less wonderful than September.
In particular, after the meeting between the two sides at the media summit, the second round of high-level summits on space development was held.
Subsequently, two new organizations emerged.
Alliance for Human Space Exploitation, or HSDA for short.
This is an initiative put forward by Huaguo.
As the basis of HSDA, there is sufficient economic, scientific and technological exchange among member countries.
At the same time, HSDA also announced two major missions, in order to realize the human race to the space age, HSDA will focus on promoting the research of controlled nuclear fusion and biotechnology. In the development phase of the solar system, the demand for communication technology is not so urgent, and the cost of space is also rapidly decreasing.
The importance of biotechnology is highlighted by the contradiction between human lifespan and long space voyages, and the unpredictable requirements of space for medical progress. And if quantum computers develop to a certain extent, biotechnology will usher in a wave of short-term explosions.
Scientific research fields such as biomedical and molecular simulations are computationally intensive, and they are highly compatible with quantum computers. In the short term, it is possible to make these two fields advance by leaps and bounds through the acceleration brought about by quantum computers.
HSDA is based on controlled nuclear fusion and biotechnology breakthroughs based on the era of quantum computing, and hopes that more countries will join it.
The attraction that can already be seen is the third phase of the development of the circular living area of the flint space city, which will be planned under the framework of HSDA.
Half of the space in the second phase of the Flintstone Space City is the space campus of the Flintstone Space University. In addition, 15% is an independent experimental area for Flint Aerospace. The remaining 35% will be set up as a public experimental area, which will be allocated by HSDA.
It can be said that HSDA is an organization focusing on transnational cooperation and scientific research in the space industry.
Another organization has caused widespread concern.
ESG, Earth Space Guard.
This organization has only two goals.
Based on the International Space Station, it will be upgraded to become a space fortress to deal with "potential deep space threats".
In addition, it is an attempt to build an Earth Space Guard Force, uphold the rules of the outer space treaty, and form a mobile counterattack force against "potential deep space threats."
This ESG, within the framework of the Western Covenant.
……
The meaning is clear, if you have to build a space city of such a large scale and not open it up, it means that space is "out of control".
In that case, you have to improve your control.
Now, everyone's skills are about the same. You're a little more capable and a little more efficient. But this level of carrying capacity, I really have it at any cost.
Besides, I'm good at attacking, so you should pay attention.
This is what it means to be widely interpreted around the world.
It seems that this high-level summit on space development has also collapsed.
"We don't know what we will say about the historical significance of these two organizations when we look back in the future. But now, their appearance is a very clear signal. Nearly 30 years have passed, and the world pattern that has been silent for a long time has ushered in new changes. It is hoped that this new change will bring new development to all mankind, and not to the great terror. ”
On the TV, there are commentators' comments.
Gu Song sat in the chairman's office in the headquarters building of the Flint Group and had been thinking about it for a long time.
In the past 8 years, he has brought changes to the world, from small to large. From an inconspicuous small company in a city, to a technological process that has begun to quietly change the world, it can eventually promote the industrial and even policy development of a province and a country.
And now, this impact has reached the top.
At present, under many constraints, the two sides have chosen to use space as a battlefield for wrestling.
Gu Song was combing through the other information he knew.
In essence, this time, the Grand Commander had been forced to take a step back.
When Gu Song shook those secrets out directly, the secrets could not be used as bargaining chips to negotiate the price, but the impact of the secrets needed to be dealt with.
The younger brothers are in a mood, is there any way to make the younger brothers press the dissatisfaction in their hearts and continue to stand by the boss's side?
That, of course, is a formidable opponent, enough to bring more unacceptable effects.
As a result, the plan of Flintstone Space City will not be suppressed, and HSDA will begin to expand its influence from the bright side.
At the same time, the establishment of ESG is not only a greater tension created by artificiality, but also an all-out attempt at the scepter of the future.
After all, in the end, it must be power that has more right to speak.
ESG is not afraid of the reaction of China and some other countries, and can insist on developing on this path. However, HSDA cannot directly say that it also wants to develop its own forces in this area, and only emphasizes cooperation in science and technology and industry.
In fact, the Commander-in-Chief has paid some price to limit HSDA's investment in this area.
When Gu Song went to Shuhai to chat with Gu Tao and Bao Jiaqi, they were very surprised.
What is the point of such restrictions? HSDA does not tie its own hands and feet, and really does not make any preparations in this regard.
So they came up with a long list of various tariffs and technical exchange benefits for five years in exchange for the direction of HSDA to maintain civilian investment in space technology.
If the opposite behaviour occurs, there are a range of severe penalties, such as lockdowns.
This is where Gu Tao and Bao Jiaqi were very surprised.
After all, Huaguo's accumulation is still shallow, why would they come up with such a plan that is a bit like giving benefits?
Gu Song couldn't say it, he let their satellite put on a show.
Like this incident, the Grand Commander only mentioned it vaguely. Because there is no actual evidence, it is also very faceless, but it is only put forward as a necessary consideration for the establishment of ESG.
Therefore, it has become the first wave of positive news for the establishment of HSDA.
Of course, there are also benefits that are directly given to the Flint Group.
Historically, there has never been an organization of this level, and the original intention of its establishment included serving a certain project of a certain enterprise.
It is unimaginable that the industries of the Flint Group will have room for future development, at least within the scope of HSDA.
This does not include the funds that will enter the framework of Flint Aerospace University and HSDA through various special channels under the ESG camp.
The curtain was opened, and the construction of the flint space city temporarily had a relatively stable external environment.
……
This is the coolest but most helpless moment since Musk founded SpaceX.
Under ESG's strategic plan, SpaceX has received several R&D projects.
Part of it was done independently, like the new engine of a heavy rocket.
Others are working with big-name defense companies such as Boeing and Loma to develop space-age shuttles and the like.
These are cool, and there's a lot of money in the pipeline.
But helplessly...... Compared with the urgent task now, his ability seems to be very lacking.
For example, about the upgrade plan for the International Space Station.
Musk pouted and said: "IMHO, Flint Aerospace is constantly launching a hundred-ton module at a frequency of twice a month. By early next year, the flintstone space station will surpass the International Space Station. The discussion of this upgrade plan has been going on for more than 10 days, and I do not see the possibility of reaching a consensus anytime soon. ”
Diane frowned and said, "Only by upgrading the International Space Station is the fastest plan." ”
The NASA official shook his head: "I can't simply think so. The International Space Station was originally designed for the purpose of upgrading, not the current upgrade direction. With a large number of instruments and new modules launched, the workload of space operations is just as huge and not necessarily much faster in time. ”
"Don't argue about this, even if you want to build a new generation of space stations, you should first complete the upgrade of the International Space Station. In space, we have to be strong enough!"
Musk and NASA officials looked at each other speechlessly.
Heaven's stuff requires a long cycle of design and manufacturing. There was no consideration of this before, but now that it has been brought up, countless teams have been working on it.
And now a big trouble is the launch efficiency.
The Saturn V of that year had been abandoned because of its technical route due to defects.
Now, the entire industry is technologically transformed. In this situation, it is really impossible to restore it directly and quickly, and achieve a carrying capacity close to that of Candle Dragon 2.
Even if it is close, the recycling technology ......
Flint Aerospace is sending things to the sky at a rate of more than 200 tons per month!
According to the initial idea of ESG, we will first concentrate on transporting some instruments to enhance the reconnaissance capability of the International Space Station, and even have a certain strike capability to form a deterrent.
So many instruments...... It is also necessary to transport astronauts for space operations...... In the future, its use will not be so strong in scientific nature......
Musk reluctantly thought: Is this really the era of commercial spaceflight full of hope and passion?
