Metaphysics!?
This is probably the question that two teenagers and a middle-aged man in the room are raising in their minds at the same time.
Don Pudding's words had caused the three of them to completely distract themselves from the TV and start thinking about the romance of interstellar travel.
That's right, for men, it is extremely romantic to experience an interstellar flight, and being able to go to space to see the scenery of the universe is definitely more touching than going to the so-called no-man's land on the earth to purify the soul.
However, this is as mysterious as Huaxia Dragon being able to go to heaven.
At present, the rocket technology on the earth can send more than 20 tons of things to outer space at a time, and it is an impossible task for such a large aircraft carrier to break away from the earth's gravity. The farthest astronauts have ever been to the moon is probably the farthest place they have ever been, and even going to Mars to build a base can only be seen in science fiction movies......
To sum up, building a space aircraft carrier that can roam freely in the universe and sail on a year-by-year basis can probably only be seen in science fiction films. Compared with Tang Puding's small goal, 100 billion yuan does seem to be less, far less than this loser.
"Well, I believe you're a poor man now! I even believe that you can really design such a spaceship that can adapt to spacecraft with all your money thrown into it, but even if you can really design a spaceship, please tell me how you can get this spaceship into space?" Xu Xiaotian questioned.
"That's the key, we can't get the ship into space, but we can get the ship assembled in space. For example, we can first design the outer frame of the spacecraft, and find a way to make the spacecraft frame orbit in low earth orbit and synchronize with the Earth. ”
"Next, we are building a spaceport using the outer frame inside the spacecraft. I will not elaborate on the purpose of building a space port, just like the sea port, in the future, our space aircraft carriers will be stationed near the space port! And when the space port is built, we will rely on the space port to start building a multi-functional space city. ”
"In my vision, this space city will be named Genting City. It is mainly composed of five sections: space heavy industry base, space experiment base, space tourism base, living area and spaceport. Because of the particularity of the space city, each plate is relatively independent, and of course, there will be specific means of transportation between each plate. ”
"After the completion of the construction of the space port and the space heavy industry base, the main components of the space aircraft carrier can be built, including engines, life support systems, gravity systems, fire control systems, etc. ”
"As soon as the construction of the space aircraft carrier begins, we can begin to form our future space expedition team! To adapt to the space voyage, we need to cultivate talents in this area in advance, including but not limited to letting these people adapt to studying, living, exercising in space, regular physical examinations, training various skills, and so on!"
"Okay, that's my full plan, what do you think?"
This was the first time that Tang Pudding had told anyone other than Qin Yao his thoughts.
This is also the most critical step.
As he said, he is now definitely the richest man in the world, but the money is nothing compared to his ideals.
At most, he can make a start, so he has to make sure that the money comes to him intact so that he can make this start.
Only by being the first to let everyone know that he is not joking and that he is really capable of achieving the vision he describes, there will naturally be a steady stream of money poured into it to turn his goal into the goal of the whole world.
The essence of the growing gap between the rich and the poor in this world is not only the long-term existence of classes, but also the finite nature of resources. But the advent of a space will make infinite resources possible.
When human beings have the ability to travel and transport in space, all the planets that can be reached by spaceships will become the resource stars of the earth. The resources of a huge planet are enough to make all capital go crazy for it. It's even more exciting than Columbus's discovery of the New World.
After all, no one believed that a new continent could be found when Columbus set out, but now people know that those planets are there, and that those planets have many resources that the earth is short of!
Of course, when there are more and more aircraft carriers that can adapt to the long distance of space, it is possible that human beings may be able to find a planet that is more suitable for human survival in the future, or a planet that can adapt to human survival after modification.
And any planet suitable for human habitation will be the greatest wealth!
God knows how many families and companies will be created in the Age of Discovery, and how many new industries will emerge.
Of course, the only problem that is in front of everyone right now is probably that this thing doesn't sound so reliable anyway. This is not only as simple as a sky aircraft carrier, but also designed to a complete space city, which also has a port, a heavy industrial area, a living area, and a tourist area......
It's really a bit of a fantasy!
If there is a comparison, the only analogy that can be compared to the space city described by Don Pudding is the near-Earth space station. And a space station that is only more than 20 tons, and it took ten years to build a space station plus orbit construction cost a total of 160 billion US dollars and more than 1 trillion yuan.
This is already a matter of whether Tang Puding's 100 billion yuan can be completed with this vast project, and Liu Xunguo even doubts whether all the resources in the world can be piled up to build such a city.
"The idea is very grand, and the idea is also very good, but Mr. Tang, why do I think this thing is very empty, this space city and space port must be built for at least a hundred years plus a space aircraft carrier, right? Liu Xunguo said tentatively.
"Huh...... It will take hundreds of years to get such a thing, so why did I set up Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy?" Tang Puding glanced at Liu Xunguo, sneered and threw out the earth-shattering words again: "Ten years! At most, the space city must achieve at least three functional modules, and the space aircraft carrier must start sea trials, at least carry people around the solar system, and build a transit station in the solar system that is enough for large carrier ships to replenish!"
Liu Xunguo turned his head sideways with difficulty and looked at the expressions of the two young people beside him.
Decade?
It means that when he was forty-five years old, he could have seen with his own eyes a space carrier belonging to humanity on a space expedition?
Oh no, he can still stand in space and see the space port that belongs to humanity with his own eyes, and maybe even have the opportunity to sign up to be selected to become a crew member of a glorious space carrier, but ......
"How is this possible?" Qi Chen helped Liu Xunguo shout out the question in his heart.
"Why is this impossible? Your question is ridiculous, just like the people who questioned me when I said two years ago that the Chinese national football team could win the Hercules Cup in this World Cup. For me, it's impossible to do nothing in this world, and it's probably just because I don't want to do it. ”
Tang Pudding said an extremely shameless sentence in a very modest tone.
"The national football team is the national football team, and the space city and the space aircraft carrier are another concept. The former only needs a few world-class players to open up the situation, and the latter is not something that a few people can solve!" Xu Xiaotian was not fooled by Tang Pudding, and asked very rationally.
"It's nothing more than the complexity of the preconditions. Okay then, let's now take a look at what preconditions are needed if we want to do big things in space. First we have to send things into space, which is the most basic. I won't mention how strong Huaxia's rocket launch technology is, and you should also know that I am in contact with Elon Musk, whose SpaceX space exploration technology company can be controlled by us, enough to complete the preliminary material delivery work. ”
"Secondly, the difficulty of building a mothership capsule in space. You may not have noticed that the current research direction of the Physics Laboratory of Huaqing Miscellaneous College, a batch of high-strength materials that can resist space radiation has been designed, which is a prerequisite. In addition, we also designed a structural drawing of the main hull module of a space aircraft carrier through supercomputing, and a total of more than 380 tons of drawings are stored in our design center. ”
"Next, the architecture of the space city, the operational orbit, the power operation mode, the life cycle maintenance system and other calculation data are all being calculated and simulated, according to the predetermined plan, these data can be simulated in our future space carrier capsule construction feasibility plan. ”
"Then there's the issue of space construction. What I need to tell you is that the space construction robot project of Huaqing Miscellaneous College has entered the final stage. On the premise of ensuring sufficient material supply, according to our calculations, as long as enough space infrastructure robot devices are carried, the construction of the general framework can be completed in three months, and the construction of the life cycle system in the cabin can be completed within half a year! That is to say, at most, in half a year, our space capsule can arrange personnel to go up and stay permanently. ”
"At this time, in addition to sending people up, we will also send engineering mecha that can help humans operate in outer space. With the space capsule as a base, after uploading the synchronization data of the space port, in addition to the machine operation, our astronauts will wear outer space mechs with space operation capabilities to join the construction of the space port. ”
"Don't think of controlling the space engineering mecha as complicated, in fact, many operations have been simplified as much as possible, basically as long as normal skilled workers, training on the ground for about half a year is enough to master the construction skills in space, this is also what we have to do next, recruit enough people to start training, and they can be lifted into the air at any time after half a year when they are needed for construction. ”
"Then comes the most difficult moment, because when our ambitious goal reaches this point, the funds will be tight, but we must persevere and complete the construction of the first spaceport, even if it is only the initial construction! So that we have enough reasons to get more capital investment! You must know that the future spaceport is not available to everyone, and only countries that have paid the membership fee will be eligible to use the spaceport!"
"Believe me, as long as we have passed this step, we have already succeeded! A space port as the center, we can send more people up, start to build a space heavy industry base, and at that time we will no longer be short of money, and at that time the whole world will not be stuck in our neck, we can order the machinery we need as quickly as possible in the world and transport it through our own rockets, at most two years our space heavy industry base can be completed! At this time, we already have enough confidence to start building the residential area of Space City!"
"In fact, when the space heavy industry base was being built, small residential areas were already being built, and at this time it was nothing more than expansion and expansion. At this point, we will not be short of money, because we can already start selling land! That's right, it is land sales! The land in the space city is very expensive, and as a future space port city on the earth, those Fortune 500 companies at least want to have an office in the space city, right?"
Of course, it is impossible to build an embassy or something, after all, every inch of space in the space city is expensive, but a room can still be provided, and it is not expensive to sell a few tens of thousands of dollars for a flat room, right?"
"In addition, once the construction of the space aircraft carrier begins, there must be countries and companies that want to go on ships to investigate alien planets in the future, right? Wait, wait, as long as we do a good job in infrastructure construction, there will be a steady stream of capital to participate in this project, and at that time, the expansion of the city will not be for him, and in the end, when our space aircraft carrier is completed and officially ready to set sail, there will inevitably be more capital invested in the construction of the next large-scale space transport fleet!"
"These are my general plans, of course, there are complete plans, all in the computer, including explanatory documents add up to about ten G, when the project is officially implemented, I will directly hang on the official website. Mr. Liu, is my idea very creative and forward-looking?"
