Chapter 149: Commercial Space Station Plan!

Merriken is a country that refuses to suffer.

Especially if the competitor hangs up on its own, after it becomes the world's first, it can't afford to lose.

And everything has to talk about pomp, and it has to talk about the pomp and circumstance of the first place.

It is naturally very majestic to have pomp, but this pomp is sometimes a burden.

When you are the first, you naturally don't want to be the second, and you are very vigilant about the second who is too close, and you are always on guard.

You have to even die!

"There will always be Diao Guo who wants to usurp the throne, and then act recklessly like me!"

"I don't think it's allowed, I'm maintaining the harmony of the world, I'm righteous!"

That's probably what Merrican thinks.

Sakura Country challenged it once before, but it was immediately killed, and now it's Tianxia's turn, even if Tianxia is not aggressive, it's been doing it.

But Tianxia's size is different from that of Sakura Country, so it is very difficult to manage, so that it is becoming more and more shameless, and even does not hesitate to use state agencies to scare private companies.

Star Navigator wasn't the first of its kind, so people quickly got used to it, but then it turned out that something was wrong.

Merrican is in a hurry!

This time I'm really in a hurry, and the plan I specified before has now been changed one by one!

It's because Star Navigator is progressing too fast.

If the second place is very dish, then the first place is natural and comfortable.

If the second place is very strong, then the first place is miserable.

The stronger the self-esteem and the more you can't afford to lose the first place, the greater the psychological pressure.

Once it is found that the second place has signs of catching up, such a first place will be anxious, if the second place has a catch-up posture, then it is absolutely crazy.

Just like now, the discerning can already see that Merrican's rhythm is a little messy.

To say that it completely follows the rhythm of the navigator or even Tianxia, it is not enough, after all, the advanced nature accumulated by Merrican is still there.

But Merriken has completely lost his previous calm, that's for sure.

And in some areas, I did start to compete one-on-one with the Navigator, and I knew that this was wrong, but Merriken couldn't help it.

If it wants to stay number one, it has to do it.

Just like a few decades ago, from the small cold to the big cold, it was so cold that it "shivered".

Once the momentum is achieved, being carried forward by the torrent of history is not a question of whether you want to or not, but you have to do it.

If you don't do it, you'll die immediately!

If you do, you will die a little later, and you will even win!

Now Merrican's situation is like this, they can't choose it at all, they have to go.

Say that Mars sampling will be successful in three years, and it will be a direct king, but who cares about you, do people wait for three years from now on?

After three days, I was attracted to something else!

The era of the information explosion is not at all comparable to what it used to be.

Sure enough, as soon as Star Navigator's global recruitment plan for astronauts began, everyone's attention was focused here.

Two days later, the Tianxia Space Agency began to reorganize again, further pulling international attention to this direction.

The core module of the Tiangong space station has been in orbit for two months, and all equipment has been tested and operated normally, so Tianxia launched a manned mission today and sent three astronauts into the core module.

At this point, both space stations in Earth orbit have begun to operate normally.

It's just that one is the new sunrise, and it will gradually grow stronger, while the other is already in the twilight of the years, and I don't know when it will come to an end.

It is said that it will be renewed for another 10 years, but the participating countries no longer want to pay for it, so who knows exactly when it will be retired.

After the manned spacecraft successfully docked with the core module, a press conference was held on the follow-up mission of the Tiangong space station.

The media from all over the world, which had been attracted by the Navigator Astronaut Job Fair, had not yet left, so they all came over, making this press conference unprecedented and grand.

Merrican looked straight at the fire, for the first time.

During the press conference, three astronauts who had just entered the space station were connected, and the astronauts extended invitations to the world as scientists.

Tianxia attaches great importance to space exploration and aerospace science and technology innovation, and is willing to work hand in hand with other countries in the world to peacefully explore, develop, and utilize space.

The Tiangong space station opens the door to cooperation with the world, whether it is a state, an organization, a private entity, or an academic institution, all of which can participate on an equal footing.

It fully reflects that Tianxia will share the experience and technology of Tianxia's aerospace development with the world with an open and inclusive attitude, and vividly interprets the concept of multilateralism and win-win cooperation of Tianxia aerospace cooperation.

At the same time, the cooperation of Tiangong space station also pays full attention to the needs of developing countries, and provides many opportunities for application experiments carried out on the platform of Tiangong space station.

It will effectively help developing countries cross the gap in the development of space technology, jointly participate in space governance, and realize the peaceful development and utilization of space.

Finally, with the model of a community with a shared future for mankind, we will lead all mankind to the starry sky.

At the end of the initiative, the audience applauded.

In this game, Tianxia won.

"Win-win cooperation" is much stronger than the concept of "you have to pay me, and if you don't pay, I will sanction you".

Merrican looked straight at the fire, the second time.

After the astronaut cooperation initiative was spoken, it was a matter of how to cooperate, and it was obvious that a core module alone could not cooperate.

The launch time of the two experimental modules was officially confirmed, in August and November, respectively, and after the two experimental modules were assembled, the first phase of the Tiangong space station project was basically completed.

At that time, a cargo spacecraft and two manned spacecraft will be added, the manned spacecraft is an old model, which belongs to the inventory clearance, and after the inventory is cleared, a new manned spacecraft will be launched.

As for the Sky Survey Telescope, it is not a basic module, and most of the time it will not dock on the space station, but only a co-orbital flight, so it will be launched in February next year.

Because of the new manufacturing process, the Long March 5 rocket has been manufactured at a much faster pace, and it is no problem to launch these modules within the allotted time.

After saying this, let's talk about the second phase of the project, the second phase of the project is the scope of cooperation, and what the Tiangong space station will expand into depends on what kind of cooperation there is.

If you want to build a space station or something, especially if you want to build it bigger, you must cooperate, otherwise it will cost too much.

Everything in the country costs money, and it is impossible to throw all the money here.

Even if the technology is more advanced now, it will be cheaper to manufacture and launch a capsule, but no one will dislike win-win cooperation.

It's helpless to be isolated, but to isolate yourself is to do it yourself.

We should not learn this from the United States, not only to sanction and isolate others, but also to pursue "isolationism" now, to isolate ourselves from the world, and to prevent those "bad countries" from making their own money.

After several Europa Aerospace representatives who were invited to speak and said some cooperation intentions, Tang Chao came up to speak.

Tang Chao Everyone knows the famous Captain Tang, even if some people know that he is the chief technology officer of the Navigator Company, but his most famous identity is still "Captain Tang".

Just like many actors acting, the roles they play are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the audience is not familiar with their real names, the name of that character will naturally become his pronoun.

In the past few days, the Navigator company has been in the limelight, and when I saw this famous figure here again, the audience was naturally interested.

This press conference is not like before, a few people sit behind the table and keep talking, and there are only a few big words "China National Space Administration Press Conference" behind it, this time it has been changed to a similar form of product launch conference, which has more highlights.

When connecting the Tiangong core cabin and the first and second phases of the exhibition space plan in front, the giant screen behind was used, and Tang Chaonature was no exception.

And what he showed was quite huge.

"Show you, the next step of Navigator's plan - a commercial space station!"

"It is luxurious, comfortable, shocking, full of science and technology, and it is also the single space station module with the largest pressurized space in history!"

"As a friendly reminder, the previous record was held by Skylab at Merrican."

Merrican looked straight at the fire, for the third time.

I even want to order the house!
