Chapter 468: Chanjuan City
The first snow of the new year was unusually heavy, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be a world of goose feathers.
The sky looked gloomy with snow blocking the sun, and the snow on the ground was gray and dirty, not at all beautiful in silver.
When Jiang Yuan arrived at the first district of the pilot project in Chanjuan City, it was in full swing.
Under the ice and snow, the first area of the pilot project of Chanjuan City is very decorated with Chinese characteristics, with red flags waving, and slogans such as "working for a hundred days and going to the moon in advance" are hung everywhere.
This was originally a large piece of farmland, but it was transformed into a construction site for the construction of Chanjuan City.
Now, hundreds of workers are working nervously on construction sites in all sorts of industrial exoskeletons, defiing the inclement weather.
Today is the day of the launch of the first independent cabin in Chanjuan City.
This is also the first achievement since the establishment of Huaguo First Air Construction (Space Construction Group), and several big leaders of Air Construction came to the construction site to watch the launch.
"Hello Mr. Jiang!"
"Hello Academician Jiang!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan arrive, the secretary and general manager of the First Air Construction who were waiting on the side of the road hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hands.
The two of them looked at the young Jiang Yuan a little embarrassed, but they couldn't laugh!
The relationship between First Air Construction and Shensi Group, and the relationship between Huaguo Biopower Corporation and Shensi Group, all rely on the core technology provided by Jiangyuan.
Although Jiang Yuan has shared the technology with the military, they don't feel that without Jiang Yuan, the military can still play this kind of magical technology like black technology.
Besides, with Jiang Yuan's R&D strength, who knows if there are other scientific research problems to rely on the other party to overcome in the future?
Jiang Yuan didn't let the two of them look ugly, stretched out his hands and clasped them tightly, and politely greeted the two for a while before entering the observation room together.
Standing in front of the window of the observation room, facing the huge black rectangular box with snow on top in the distance.
It is the first independent cabin in Chanjuan City, and this launch target.
A group of engineers were cleaning up around it, and the final inspection had long since been completed.
Since the design of Chanjuan City requires 300,000 people to carry and take into account both residential and industrial research and development, it will be a super project 10 times larger than Shensi District.
For this kind of engineering, the modular design that has been proven in the food for thought is the best solution, which can greatly reduce the complexity of the design.
At the same time, each cabin is self-contained, which also greatly improves overall safety.
After all, space is not the field of human existence, and no one knows what will happen in long-term life, and once a major danger occurs, the dangerous cabin can be closed to ensure the safety of others.
If the danger is too severe, each individual compartment has its own energy source and power, and they can also be directly separated to escape, greatly improving survivability.
Moreover, there is a major reason why the experts of the first air construction decided to launch the capsule one by one, vetoing the previous plan.
Because Chanjuan City is too large and its own weight is too heavy, humans are currently unable to make materials with sufficient strength to support an entire city.
The gravity of the moon is much smaller than that of the earth, which is currently available in Chinese materials.
Therefore, we can only launch some production modules to the moon first, and use the minerals on the moon and the resources and components brought by the earth to make Chanjuan City on the moon little by little.
The independent cabin numbered 00001, which will be launched today, carries 12 first-mover engineers and scientists, some key mineral exploration instruments and equipment, and a huge amount of materials enough for 12 people to survive for a year.
After landing at the designated site, they will carry out the most dangerous and arduous initial construction, and at the same time, they will also be tasked with driving the lunar rover to find resource extraction sites, so as to provide sufficient reference information for the subsequent construction.
To put it bluntly, this is a manned landing on the moon!
This makes the first empty construction even more worried.
Projects at this level used to be led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of China, but now they have become led by their own units, and NASA does back-end technical support......
Under the hint of the secretary's eyes, the general manager of the first empty construction accompanied Jiang Yuandao with a smile:
"Academician Jiang, what do you expect the result of this launch? It is about to be launched, and I didn't sleep well all night yesterday!"
The secretary of the first empty building also echoed:
"Yes, Academician Jiang, what do you think of this situation?"
For them, whether Chanjuan City can be completed on schedule, or even ahead of schedule, is a major event related to the future future.
The anti-gravity engine has just been developed, and most people are not particularly able to intuitively feel this product, and they always feel a little ethereal, so they can't help but not be nervous.
Jiang Yuan understood their thoughts, so he was relieved:
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
Although the anti-gravity engine has begun to be applied to the Deep Thinking Zone and Jianjun No. 1, its expensive price and huge strategic value are destined to make it impossible for this technology to be popularized for civilian use in a short period of time.
Moreover, the manufacture of anti-gravity engines is almost beyond the limits of China's industrial manufacturing, and the yield is frighteningly low.
Except for the Jianguo and the space mecha, part of the production capacity has been allocated, and the other production capacity has been supplied to Chanjuan City first.
Unless Huaguo's engineering industry can make a huge breakthrough, even the transformation of the Shensi District is far away.
For this situation, Jiang Yuan is also powerless.
Whether it is brain exchange technology or vacuum photoelectric algae, they are devouring his few scholarly moments, and he really can't spare time.
"Don't worry! It's not a big problem!" said an expert from the Changwen Rocket Launch Base next to him.
There were not a lot of people who came to see the launch, in addition to the people of the First Air Construction, there were also people from the Shensi Group, experts in anti-gravity technology, experts from rocket launch units, space research institutes, and space agencies, and so on.
After all, the goal of Chanjuan City is the moon, and for the current technological capabilities of human beings, once anything involves space, it is not an easy task.
Not to mention building a city, it is a small space station, which is the squeeze of the entire national strength.
Therefore, Chanjuan City is by no means the newly established first empty construction can be completed, and it must be the result of the cooperation of a large number of departments and units.
The Chanjuan City Construction Committee, which is now headed by the president of the Consulate, is temporarily responsible for coordinating the matter, but this is not a long-term solution.
Jiang Yuan has already received information that the state is preparing to set up a new centralized department, which is said to be called the Ministry of Space Construction, which will be responsible for the construction of all space cities and factories.
In the near future, solar power plants will also be in charge of this department.
"Hello Professor Wang, are you here too?" The general manager of the First Air Construction is obviously very familiar with the experts of this Changwen rocket base:
"You know a thing or two about anti-gravity engines?"
Professor Wang has participated in some of the topics of space mecha and has a deep understanding of anti-gravity engines. In addition, those who can enter this room are dense enough, and he doesn't hide it, and immediately explains a bunch of techniques endlessly, so that the two of them nodded again and again, and their mood relaxed a lot.
A few people were chatting, and many experts and scholars came in to observe, and some were wearing military uniforms.
The room was lively.
