Tianxia likes to take multiple steps when making big plans, especially the "three-step" strategy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is true of the three-step lunar exploration, and the same is true of the three-step manned spaceflight.

The three-step lunar exploration process is the three stages of "orbiting, falling, and returning".

The first step is to launch a lunar exploration satellite, breaking through the flight technology to extraterrestrial celestial bodies, and realizing the flight of lunar exploration satellites around the moon.

The second step is to achieve a soft landing on the moon, preferably with a lunar roving surveyor for a soft landing on the moon and an automatic roving survey.

Tianxia's second step was very successful, not only landing and probing the "front" of the moon, but also landing and probing the "backside", becoming the first country to land a probe on the far side of the moon.

The third step is to launch a lunar soft lander, break through the technology of returning to Earth from extraterrestrial objects, carry out automatic sampling of lunar samples and return them to Earth, and then analyze and study the samples on Earth, so as to deepen the understanding of the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system.

These three steps are the three steps of lunar exploration, and then there is a new manned lunar landing program, which originally took many steps to land on the moon, first boarding the flag, then finding a suitable base construction site, and finally building a lunar base.

But because of the addition of the Navigator, the manned lunar landing program was directly in place.

The first step of the three-step process of manned spaceflight is to launch unmanned and manned spacecraft, safely send astronauts into low-earth orbit, conduct earth observation and scientific experiments, and enable astronauts to return safely to the ground.

The second step is a multi-person multi-day space flight, astronauts going out of the capsule to walk in space, and completing the rendezvous and docking between the spacecraft and the space experiment module.

The third step is to establish a multi-compartment manned space station with relatively complete functions, allowing astronauts and scientists to stay for a long time to conduct space science experiments.

These three steps have just been completed, and they are thinking about a new project, and the navigator came to the door, saying that they want to engage in a "science fiction plan".

At first, experts and high-level officials didn't know what this plan meant, but after watching the plan of the Heavenly Court space station, they understood, isn't that something out of a science fiction movie?

Now that the relevant plan was announced at the press conference, the reaction of the reporters at the scene was much higher than that of the space agency at that time.

The more intense wave was on the Internet, and netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference said that the reaction was huge.

Netizens, naturally, there are people from all walks of life, and there must be a lot of people who have watched science fiction movies, so as soon as the simulation of the Tianting space station came out, they tasted its "science fiction content".

Good guys, two large and one small three rotating simulated gravity capsules, orbital manufacturing centers, orbital repair shops and fuel supply stations, all of these modules are "regulars" of near-future science fiction works.

Especially its data? One by one, the race stimulated everyone's nerves.

More than 300 meters long!

Nearly 200 meters wide!

The mass is about 2500 tons!

The interior space is close to 10,000 cubic meters!

Especially when it has the Tiangong space station, the International Space Station, and the inflatable space station next to it? and a full-scale model of a supercarrier, people can clearly feel its enormity!

"Oh my God!"

"Oh? O my God! ”

"Huh? Forehead drop god! ”

"O my lord!"

"Hell, my, my...... O god of machines! ”

For a while, people were amazed? I can't even find any adjectives.

However, Tang Chao didn't wait for them to sigh and finish the discussion, he directly started his own explanation.

"Can you see? The Heavenly Court Space Station is big though? And there are a lot of parts, but its central axis is very obvious, and in the different parts of the large axis, I roughly divided it into three parts. ”

"The front structure is relatively simple, is the scientific research area? So many cabins in the middle and two large simulated gravity cabins are commercial areas? The part with a large amount of independent space at the back is an industrial area. ”

"Most of the three have a lot of independent spacecraft berths, of which the commercial area has the most space equipment berths, reaching 10, and they can be parked by large ships and small boats."

"Of course, not too big? A 300-meter spacecraft that is more than a space station will certainly not be able to dock, and the 'ship' I am talking about is the current and possible future space flight equipment on Earth. ”

What did Tang Chao say? Everyone at the scene laughed.

Before today, no one imagined that the Earth could really be built with a 300-meter space station? And it's really going to be built.

A 300-meter spaceship?

That's pure science fiction.

Of course, Tang Chao knew what everyone was laughing at, but he also laughed and didn't say anything? Continue with your own explanation of the plan.

"Should you have noticed? The three districts are basically research, commerce and industry? The three regions have different divisions of labor, so naturally they cannot influence each other. ”

"One main axis runs through the three sectors to secure them to a space station, which also gives them a place to communicate, but the connections between them are usually closed, and only those with the corresponding identities can pass through them."

"The main thing is that the commercial area is open to ordinary people, and it is better for ordinary people not to wander around the scientific research area and industrial area, where there is a certain danger for ordinary people."

This is true, ordinary people can play well in the commercial area, and some people don't care if the scientific research area and the industrial area are dangerous or not, and even some people are just looking for excitement.

The main reason is that some scientific research experiments are very important, and the danger is also great, in case ordinary people are ignorant and explode and blow up the entire space station, it will have a huge impact.

The key is that it is too large, and there is a lot of debris produced after being bombed, so much debris is sprinkled on the orbit, and other orbital facilities are not wanted, and the difficulty of human beings entering space is several floors.

It could also set human civilization back decades.

So when you go into space, you must follow the rules.

After finishing the general things, the people listening to the lecture were frightened, Tang Chao nodded slightly with satisfaction, and began to talk about the details.

The simulation was enlarged and placed in the scientific research area.

"Everyone looks familiar with this, it has just been combined in the past two days."

"The Tiangong space station is originally a scientific research laboratory, and there are many scientific research facilities in it, so it is suitable to put it in the scientific research area, but the Tiangong space station is too small, and some experiments are not very convenient, so I will count our company's Star Inn, as long as the commercial equipment is removed and the scientific research equipment is installed, it can become a scientific research place."

"Of course, not now, it is still a commercial place, plus the small simulated gravity cabin it is connected to, it continues to welcome tourists, and the specific situation can be adjusted according to the ticket situation, as long as you can buy tickets, it proves that it is still open."

"Even with the construction of the Tianting Space Station, you can experience more things, and you should note that the commercial area is the largest of the three subdivisions."

The commercial area is of course the largest, and the two large rotating simulated gravity chambers alone occupy a large proportion of the space, which is very critical to the problem of human habitation in space, while the commercial area cabins in a weightless state are more tested in the "play" sequence.

For earthlings living in a gravity environment, the weightless environment is naturally used for play.

The space proportion of the scientific research area and the industrial area is slightly smaller, because the entire Tianting space station is still in a state of "experiment".

300 meters is not small, but it is not big, it cannot become the ultimate space station of the human world, after all aspects are verified, human beings will build a larger space station.

Don't look at the fact that people are now amazed that the space station is more than 300 meters long, several times larger than the 100-meter-long International Space Station, and the internal space is more than 10 times larger.

That's only because the ISS has an honorary bonus, after all, it was built, operated and used by 16 countries, and for a long time the ISS occupied the title of "the largest, longest and most national international space cooperation project in history".

But when the Heavenly Court Space Station is completed, it won't take long, and if you look at it again, humans will dislike it.

After that, mankind will definitely carry out real space construction, and the maintenance module of the parts manufacturing and maintenance plant in the industrial area of "Heavenly Court" is to verify those construction procedures.

After all, humans love to build great wonders!
