Time entered the year 4719 of the Yellow Emperor calendar, and the epidemic that raged for a year last year finally showed signs of subsidence, mainly at the end of last year, Tianxia's vaccine was listed.

People were looking forward to 4718 very much, but no one expected it to be so exciting.

Fortunately, it passed.

A new year has begun.

In the new year, Don Supernatural has a new ...... Big plan!

At the end of last year, he went to Kanxing several times, and took an orbital shuttle into the space on the other side of Kanxing, and after seeing the magnificent space scene, his soul seemed to have been baptized and sublimated.

Actually, this is very understandable, because it is not his feelings alone.

For a long time, dreamers have struggled to imagine the vastness of the universe above the sky, and its incredible scale has always fascinated mesmerizing.

Later, this imagination came true.

However, for the first person to enter space, what moved him the most seemed to be not the vast starry sky beyond the earth, but the earth he saw in space.

"I am amazed by the beauty of our planet as I fly around the earth in a spaceship, and people all over the world, please protect and enhance this beauty and not destroy it."

After returning to Earth, he said.

Leaving the familiar earth and entering space where no one has ever been, perhaps he will only feel at ease when he looks at the earth.

In the decades that followed, hundreds more astronauts went into space, and when they returned, they would talk about their journeys, whether they were writing work reports or being interviewed by the media.

Gradually, a pattern was discovered.

These astronauts seem to prefer to look back at Earth rather than look at the vast starry sky.

Although they differ in nationality, gender, age, position, major, and even worldview, astronauts generally report that when they look back at Earth from space, they can experience a profound shock of consciousness and emotion.

At that moment, it was as if I had become different.

This phenomenon has been studied and called the "total effect", that is, the "cognitive shift" caused by "seeing the Earth in space with one's own eyes".

When in space, the Earth is a whole for all people, everything on it is interconnected, and astronauts can see and appreciate what humans have been trying to understand for thousands of years, and everything is on that complete planet.

"That beautiful, warm planet is like a living being, looking so fragile and so delicate, as if it would fall apart at the touch of a finger."

"Looking through the porthole, the atmosphere is so thin, I can't help but wonder how we live on such a fragile ball of life. It's hard to have such a first-hand experience before you go out on earth. ”

"What sticks in my mind is a blue I've never seen before,"

"Seeing the Earth is an intense emotional experience. Looking back at the planet you live on, such an opportunity is never allowed. ”

Many astronauts who have been to space say this.

The farther away from the Earth, the stronger this emotion becomes, especially when humans are standing on the Moon and looking at the Earth.

People often stand on the earth and look at the moon for millions of years, and when humans go to the moon and stand on the moon and look back at the earth, it is another feeling.

"When I stood on the moon and looked back at the earth for the first time, I cried."

One of the astronauts who landed on the moon said so, while their companion said, "At that moment, you changed." ”

This visceral "change" is not just a change of perspective. A growing number of thinkers believe that the aggregate effect heralds the next "giant leap" in human evolution.

As the image of the Earth from space gradually penetrated into people's cultural consciousness, people gradually understood that the Earth is like a spaceship, it carries limited resources, and the crew must sail responsibly.

With the fullness of this cosmic consciousness, it is becoming more and more clear that human civilization will inevitably have to leave the earth if it wants to survive for a long time.

The earth is the cradle of mankind, but human beings cannot live in the cradle for a lifetime.

Then people began to turn their heads and look at the distant starry sky.

However, the earth has always been the home of mankind.

As the biggest "child" in the cradle of the earth, and has also been to the starry sky of other players to sublimate himself, Tang Chao is no longer satisfied with the current slow progress.

Although because of the attributes of the infrastructure madness, he spent money to drive at double speed, but he still felt that the company's construction was too slow, and he might have been able to endure it before, but now it is absolutely not possible.

Even if he worked overtime to complete the first phase of the project, the manufacturing speed could not catch up with his needs, let alone whether there was any movement in the launch center he had in mind.

In his plan, the company in Eguchi City will be the headquarters and R&D center, and the southernmost island launch center within 10 degrees north latitude will be the transportation hub connecting the earth and space.

Although he wants to build orbital shuttles, and then he wants to build aerospace planes, with the development of technology, their load capacity will definitely be better, but even if they can transport hundreds of tons of materials to space at a time in the cheapest way, the size of the materials is extremely limited.

Generally, the height of the cargo compartment of heavy transport aircraft is not more than five meters, in order to expand the diameter of the cargo compartment to a greater extent, people have developed an extremely strange shape of the "Beluga transport aircraft", like the big head son.

It has expanded the diameter of the cargo compartment to more than seven meters and is designed to transport small but oversized components, such as unfinished ISS modules and wide-body aircraft segments.

A cargo compartment-sized aircraft would have a hard time flying through the atmosphere, let alone getting it out of the atmosphere, unless the plane was made so large that the cabin looked less bloated.

However, the size of the aerospace aircraft is large, and various data will also increase dramatically, and whether it can fly or not is a problem.

In this regard, rockets are no problem, the current largest fairing can be made with a diameter of ten meters, which is no longer a problem, and humans have also designed larger rockets. For example, the first draft of the "Starship" with a diameter of 12 meters, and the legendary "Sea Dragon" rocket with a diameter of 23 meters.

This thing doesn't need to take off on the runway, and it doesn't need to rely on wing lift, it's purely "powerful brick flying".

In the early days of the space age, there was no way to build a space station from scratch in Earth orbit, but to build modules on the ground and then assemble them in orbit.

Even if it could be built, it would be the astronauts who would have to fix the ready-made equipment and parts into one piece, and the kind of giant space station that would have to be welded out of steel plates would have to be thought about for a while.

Therefore, the super launch site located at sea, Tang Chao must build it, with it, Tang Chao can use a super rocket to transport the super module into space, and then assemble various space facilities in orbit.

With all these things, it's not too late to think about the giant space station with steel plate welding.

If one person is slow, then there are a few more, and there is great power in many people.

So at the end of last year, he called several domestic space companies together for a meeting, and then announced the establishment of a space alliance.

Although the domestic aerospace resources have been integrated and the cooperation between various companies is more convenient, the current problem is similar to that in Kanxing, cooperation or non-cooperation, and the right to refuse to the company, after all, each company also has the interests of each company.

Even if you agree to cooperate, there are all kinds of ridiculous meetings to open and extra-long documents to sign, which can annoy people.

The best way is, of course, to acquire, just like in Canxing, to be the boss of these companies, let them build something, just give an order.

But this is the Earth, not the planet, and it's not so easy to acquire.

If the acquisition is not possible, then a consortium will be formed to greatly streamline the communication procedures between various space companies and improve the efficiency of work and work.

As long as this alliance is there, coupled with his technology licensing, he can tie these space companies together.

It's not much different from a company.

If he could, he would even like to unite with space companies around the world to develop together.

Unfortunately, this dream is also far away. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
