Chapter 554 Press Conference on Satellites (Part II)

All the reporters were in an uproar, not only the reporters, but also many people on the Internet and abroad who watched the press conference were amazed, everyone knew what this meant, which means that China's aerospace strength is definitely greatly improved.

They understand too well that if even more than 300 tons of materials can be transported with such a small amount of fuel, then if the number of fuel or warheads is directly reduced and converted into a ballistic missile, its speed and other performance are simply terrifying.

The most important thing is that if it is really possible to transport 300 tons of objects, how many sub-warheads can be divided into 300 tons? It is estimated that the nuclear warhead of the split guide type can hold dozens of warheads, and it is estimated that there is no way to know how many missiles can intercept such a missile.

Of course, those who can think of these are some special groups of people, and these people originally paid attention to these things, but ordinary people naturally don't think about it so long-term, and they don't quite understand what the concept of being able to transport more than 200 tons of materials into space is.

But when some of the hosts of the major TV broadcasts directly told all the viewers about this concept, these viewers were stunned, this is more than ten times as much as before? And whether it is the United States or Russia, if you want to send a 100-ton object, you need 3,000 tons of rockets?

A 3000-ton rocket, what a concept!

And now just over 600 tons on your side is enough?

The most important thing is what the moderator just said: The direct launch of eight rockets and the simultaneous launch of four satellite launch bases is the first time that China has sent such a large-scale space rocket since it was built so many years ago, and it is unprecedented not only for China, but also for the whole world.

Not to mention the uproar caused by this news in the hearts of ordinary people, it has caused an uproar in major countries around the world.

Back then, when the United States wanted to build the International Space Station, it did not play with China, and even brought their opponent Russia during the Cold War without China.

For China, okay, if you don't take me, then I'll play by myself, so China worked hard to innovate, develop science and technology, and later launched Tiangong-1, and now, the International Space Station with the participation of other countries is now about to be decommissioned, and the next International Space Station is still far away.

In space, it seems that China's own space station is left, and other countries in the United States have to come to China's side if they want to conduct space research.

At that time, Europe was also awesome to develop a Galileo global navigation system independent of the US GPS navigation system, and China wanted to join, no, or not let China join.

Okay, you don't let me join, I'm still playing by myself, and then China's Beidou navigation satellites have been initially networked, and large-scale commercial operation has begun in China, and what about the EU's Galileo navigation system? Hehe, it's still far away.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, China's space program was forced out, no way, if you don't take me to play, I will play by myself, and now, even more awesome, in terms of launch vehicles, they have begun to surpass Europe and the United States, and then it will be clear that in terms of aerospace, maybe China is the first.

In particular, these scientists engaged in aerospace engineering naturally understand very well that if China can really send 300 tons of materials directly to the sky on a rocket with a total weight of 600 tons, it means that their manned lunar landing program is simply very simple.

And if China is ruthless and starts assembling long-range spacecraft directly in space, it will not be difficult to land on Mars, and they know too well how unnatural this proportion must be.

This means that the cost of launching a space rocket in China and implementing any space program is a few tenths of that of a foreign country!

Not to mention the Saturn V of the United States, although the Saturn V with a weight of more than 3,000 tons can send 100 tons of materials into space, but this energy efficiency ratio reaches 30:1, and the Saturn V is too expensive, too unsafe, and even inferior to a medium-sized launch vehicle.

The cost of transporting supplies once on Saturn V is much higher than transporting 20 tons at a time and transporting them five times, so unless it is some large spacecraft that cannot be transported separately, otherwise, the United States will never use Saturn V.

But what about China? Just a medium-sized carrier rocket can carry close to 300 tons, that is to say, at the same cost, if you join China for 100 yuan, you can send 300 tons of materials into space, then the United States needs to spend 1,500 yuan!

According to the international commercial satellite launch, the cost of the satellite is about 200 million US dollars, and the overall launch cost, including the cost of the rocket, is about 30 million US dollars, the launch cost of the rocket is about 30 million US dollars, and the insurance of the rocket is about 20% of the first three combined, that is, about 36 million US dollars.

The total cost is $100 million. Although the price may not be so high if the government launches, but based on the calculation of 500 million US dollars, the United States needs 2.2 billion US dollars to launch the same thing, while China only needs 500 million US dollars.

Even if the United States has money, it doesn't spend it like this, not to mention that China's own cost advantage is much lower than that of the United States.

The U.S. needs $500 million, while China might even need $100 million.

So this means that, not to mention the international launch market, let's just say that in the future, China will have much more space exploration than the United States, which is simply not affordable!

And that's not even counting the losses from failed launches. The fewer the number of launches, the less chance of natural failure, although it is said that a single launch failure, it is possible to lose more than 300 tons of materials, but in fact, the value of these materials themselves is just like that.

What's more, there's insurance, isn't it?

When the spokesman announced the relevant matters, he directly entered the stage of answering reporters' questions, and at this time, the number of people watching this press conference on the Internet has begun to rise wildly.

And at this moment, there are really too many revelations in this press conference, so these media naturally spare no effort to promote, and the current news promotion speed is not too fast, plus these media directly headline the party, all kinds of explosive headlines are used, which attracts more and more audiences.

When everyone entered the live broadcast room, they saw that it was time for the reporter to ask questions, after two reporters, as a CCTV reporter stood up, the question asked by this reporter made everyone stunned for a moment, and everyone will understand what CCTV reporters represent.

It was more thought that it should represent the idea of China, and this CCTV reporter stood up directly and asked: "May I ask, what kind of satellites are the main launches of the eight rockets this time?" There is no satellite launch this time in this year's satellite launch plan announced by the Chinese ******, and whether this satellite launch has anything to do with the recent boiling THAAD incident? ”

CCTV reporters' series of questions can be said to have stunned all the reporters, although there were two reporters before, but they asked more technical questions, not that they didn't want to ask more exciting questions, but they didn't dare.

But since the CCTV reporter spoke, this means that this press conference is estimated to have an inside story, domestic reporters know, but foreign reporters are actually not aware of these cats, because in the eyes of foreign reporters, as a reporter, shouldn't they all ask these questions?

If the Chinese reporters don't ask, they will ask directly when they stand up in a while, which is just being advanced.

However, netizens who just came into the live broadcast room immediately became interested when they heard this question, damn it, this question is a bit bit, but they also want to know what it means this time.

"I'll answer the first question here, our 8 rockets will carry out a multi-satellite plan, each rocket is a total of 3 satellites, 8 rockets are a total of 24 satellites, and our new rockets will directly send their satellites to their different orbits, this satellite is mainly a kind of our latest research and development of multiple remote sensing satellites, the main role is satellite positioning, scientific exploration and other multiple purposes, and the satellite chip also uses the latest computer chip technology, a satellite computing amount is at least more than ten times that of the previous satellite, 24 satellites will be directly networked after launch, complete and complete formation of accurate global positioning system. ”

With the words of this spokesman, the entire venue was quiet and the sound of flashing lights, and at this moment, all the netizens who watched the live broadcast were stunned, and many netizens directly commented, "Damn, this time the bunker, Nima, if I'm not mistaken, the Beidou navigation satellites announced by the country before seem to have launched a total of 24, right? And now 24 are directly launched at one time? It seems that this is independent of the Beidou navigation satellite, right?"

"Didn't you hear the one upstairs? This time it is said that all the new technologies are used, and this navigation is obviously not the key, right? The key technology of the real satellite is the multi-purpose scientific exploration and other purposes in the back, and this is a military satellite, and any scientific exploration is nonsense. ”

"I think so, but this thing can't be some kind of advanced missile defense system, right? After all, the enemy is going to deploy THAAD at our doorstep? But I still want to say, the motherland is awesome! I'm going, after so many years, the motherland has finally risen stronger, and that's how it should be, just protesting is not enough, we have to have our own strategy. ”
