Chapter 1023 Chapter 1023 2019 Year

In the year of 2019, Galaxy Light Industry Group, Galaxy Chain Group, Galaxy Academy of Sciences, etc. have also achieved benign development, especially Galaxy Light Industry Group has concentrated a considerable number of sports stars at home and abroad, including Liu Xiang, almost effortlessly opened the sports market, and then expanded outward from this market, and now Galaxy clothing has formed a very rich production line, up to astronauts' spacesuits, down to kindergarten children's sneakers, Galaxy clothing has a corresponding product line. The galaxy spider has also made more newer progress in the manufacture and production of spider silk, not only the production of artificial spider silk has increased significantly, but also the product line is rapidly enriched.

At present, Yinhe Industry is still carrying out several major projects, namely seawater desalination to the west project, sea reclamation and underwater city engineering, Yinhe Industrial Park underground base project and space base engineering and other four major projects. These four projects have also made positive progress in different ways.

The first phase of the desalination project has been completed, and the second phase is currently underway, which is mainly to transport the desalination of Bohai water to the border province. As the largest province in China, the border province is also the largest province in the desert and Gobi region in China, where fresh water is scarce and deep, and it is the most water-scarce area in China.

However, if we want to really solve the water shortage situation in the border province, it is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, after all, the seawater desalination westward transportation project is to transfer water to the northwest through the guò pipeline, and no matter how thick the pipeline is, the diameter cannot be compared with the big rivers, and the fresh water that can be transported to the border province is limited. Therefore, in addition to continuing to increase the water transmission capacity of the seawater desalination project to the west, it is also necessary to use comprehensive treatment, large-scale adoption of water-saving technology, and recycling of freshwater resources, so that we can achieve results within eight or ten years. This is a bit of a long time, but once it succeeds, it will definitely benefit future generations, and Galaxy Industry, as the leader, will also be able to obtain stable and long-term benefits from it.

At present, the sea reclamation and underwater urban project has progressed to the stage of building buildings, and the isolation cover to block the sea water has been built for some time, and the sea water in the isolation cover has been completely discharged, and the seabed has also undergone the first round of rectification. After geological exploration, the construction of permanent structures has begun in some of the more fortified areas. This news is the most exciting thing for the wealthy who have bought underwater urban real estate, and they are now counting their fingers to when they will become the first underwater inhabitants in human history.

The main responsible unit of the underwater city is Galaxy Ocean, and the partners include the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the State Oceanic Administration, the Yangtze River Industry and other units.

It is clear to all parties that about 70% of the earth's surface is covered by seawater, and once the first underwater city in human history is successfully built, then the world's oceans will open their arms to them. As an enterprise alliance that has mastered a complete set of mature technologies, it is conceivable that even if the market in this area is not monopolized by them in the future, there will be no problem in occupying the vast majority of the market.

In contrast, the project of reclamation of land from the sea supporting the underwater city is not progressing very quickly, planting crops on the surface of the ocean, there are too many difficulties to overcome, and the transformation of the desert by Yinhe Industry has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient arable land in China, whether to cultivate the land to the ocean, it is not particularly urgent. What's more, the technical difficulty of transforming the sea area above the underwater city into a sea field is obviously lower than the technical difficulty of transforming it into farmland.

The matter of the underground base is also in a hurry, and the progress is smooth, but it will take at least two or three years to put it into use. It's not that Kang Yongheng has no leadership, and it's not that the Galaxy Building, which is responsible for the construction, doesn't work hard, but that the underground base area requested by Liu Shiqing is too large, and what he asked to build is not one floor, but several floors. That's not all, there are countless equipment to fill the underground base, all of them need time to do, even if Kang Yongheng has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to compress the completion time to 2019 or 2020, and it will be completed in another two or three years, which is already the result of racking his brains and thinking of a lot of ways with his staff.

Liu Shiqing knew that this kind of thing couldn't be urged, he didn't want to spend tens of billions of dollars, and finally made the tofu scum project come out, and when the time came, he would have no place to cry. Liu Shiqing has talked to Kang Yongheng many times, quality first, efficiency second, so he must grasp the proportion.

Needless to say, the astronauts of the Galaxy Astronaut Brigade and the Astronaut Brigade of the General Armament Department have cooperated with each other and have already carried out three or four rounds of launch missions, and the main body of the Galaxy International Space City has already taken a rudimentary form, and is cruising over the earth day and night at a speed of one and a half hours around the earth.

The Russian Aerospace Agency has negotiated with Galaxy Space more than once, and except for being absorbed by Galaxy Space as one of the member units that formulate the quality and safety standards of the space base, all other requirements have not been agreed with Galaxy Industrial. The Russian side's attempt to launch spare parts for the space base has also been in vain. The price that Galaxy Space is willing to pay is too low, Russia can't even get it back, Galaxy Industry has always refused to raise prices, unless Russia is willing to help Galaxy Space carry out the launch mission at a loss, otherwise, it can only be excluded from the launch mission.

In addition, according to Liu Shiqing's arrangement, Galaxy Space, as well as Galaxy Heavy Industry, Galaxy Seiko, Jiangnan Shipyard and other units have dispatched a team of hundreds of people to be responsible for manufacturing the first 10,000-ton space cargo spacecraft, which can theoretically transport about 11,000 tons of cargo at one time, and once it is built, it will be able to greatly increase the construction speed of the space base.

According to the plan, if the 10,000-ton space cargo spacecraft can be successfully built, the next step will be to try to build 30,000-ton, 50,000-ton and even 100,000-ton space cargo spacecraft. The phased goal is to be able to build a 500,000-ton space cargo spacecraft, and with this kind of large-tonnage space base, it will be much easier for Galaxy Industry to build more space-based bases in the future, as soon as possible, and on planets such as the moon and Mars.

In addition, Galaxy Space is also doing one thing, which is to negotiate with the Maldives to build a large dock and sea launch platform in the Maldives waters. Both the dock and the Sea Launch platform are in preparation for the construction of a space base in geostationary orbit in the galaxy.

Because objects in geostationary orbit are always in a state of immobility relative to the earth's surface, this provides considerable convenience for the galaxy to adopt another means of transportation. At present, Liu Shiqing has two technical solutions to choose from, one is a space elevator, and the other is space vacuum pipeline transportation.

The so-called space elevator is from the dock built in the Maldives, to build a freight elevator that can go directly to the geostationary orbit, that is, 36,000 kilometers altitude, not to use space planes or space cargo spacecraft, but to use elevators to directly transport all kinds of goods to space.

As for the space vacuum pipeline transportation, it is to build a vacuum pipeline that goes directly to the geostationary orbit, because there is no air storage in the pipeline, which can greatly reduce the resistance generated by the air at ultra-high speeds, and then greatly increase the speed of the aircraft. This kind of technology is also a very good way to transport space goods.

However, in the end, whether to use a space elevator or a space vacuum transportation pipeline still needs to go through a period of demonstration, not only to assess the technical difficulty, but also to consider the time required for construction and transportation costs and other details. Until the final plan is finalized, the geostationary orbit space base will use a spaceplane or a spacecargo spacecraft as a means of transportation. This is also an inevitable stage, after all, without first building a space structure in geostationary orbit, there is no talk of building a space elevator or a space vacuum transportation pipeline.

In fact, if you are willing to spend the cost, you can also use the convenient means of transportation such as space elevators or space vacuum transportation pipelines on the Galaxy International Space City. The specific method is to use the opposite direction of the earth's gravity and centrifugal force to intervene in a way that the Galaxy International Space City is in a state of immobility relative to the earth's surface, so that a space elevator or a space vacuum transportation pipeline can be built.

However, on the one hand, it will require extremely high technology, and on the other hand, the operating costs will be very high. Liu Shiqing has decided to weaken the scientific and technological content of Galaxy International Space City, and of course he will not do such a thankless thing.

In addition, at the request of various countries that have invested in the Galaxy International Space City, Galaxy Space began to train astronauts for them for a fee, saying that they are astronauts, but rather passengers. When the space base is completed, or at least allows people to enter, these astronauts from various countries will take the space plane of the galaxy space and enter the space base.

At present, none of the space vehicles of other countries has been authorized by Galaxy Space to dock with Galaxy International Space City, so countries can only pinch their noses and let Galaxy Industry flatten and pinch the round.
