After doing a physiotherapy, Luo Sheng felt a lot more comfortable, and his energy was fully released.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Luo Sheng walked out of the Science and Technology Complex Building.

The housekeeper had already arranged his travel affairs properly, and when he walked to his business car, the accompanying bodyguard opened the car door and took the vehicle to the headquarters of Star Arrow International after a while.

……

After about half an hour's drive to the headquarters of Star Arrow International, Luo Sheng went straight to the seminar room of the R&D building, where Zheng Tao, Liu Jianwei and others were impressively listed.

Seeing Luo Sheng come in, everyone stopped discussing.

Zheng Tao also got up and gave up his position as chief, and Luo Sheng also took his seat unceremoniously and said, "Lao Zheng, you will continue to preside over the meeting." ”

After a moment, Zheng Tao sat down on the left side and continued: "Today's discussion is about the facilities of the 'Forerunner' orbital space station, mainly for the establishment of life support systems and solutions involving housing, production and scientific research operations. ”

Another core part of the space ladder is the space station part, and the ladder needs the support of two large and super-large space stations, one is to deploy a super space station in a geostationary orbit located on the earth at 36,000 kilometers, that is, named "Forerunner 1" space.

The space coordinates of the second superspace station, Forerunner 2, are the equilibrium between gravity and centrifugal force in outer space.

A 36,000-kilometer-long ladder cable connects the "Forerunner 1" and "Pioneer 2" spaces and the base of the tower on the equator on the ground to form the final form of the space ladder.

Luo Sheng is looking at the full-scale 3D model of the "Forerunner 1" space station on the large screen of the conference, its side view shows a "T" shaped structure, 898 meters long, and the top core is a rotating ring structure to create artificial gravity through centrifugal force in a weightless environment.

Its ring diameter is 978 meters, the circumference of the ring is about 3,000 meters, the area inside the ring is 750,000 square meters, and the total mass is 8,400 tons, which is 20 times that of the International Space Station.

The low-orbit "Forerunner 2" space station is almost the same as "Pioneer 1" in terms of structure, but the scale is relatively larger, with a length of 1,190 meters, a ring diameter of 1,298 meters, a circumference of 4,075 meters, an area of 1,322,000 square meters in the ring, and a total mass of 13,300 tons, which is 31 times that of the International Space Station.

The core energy supply of both space stations is nuclear, but not fusion nuclear energy, but fission nuclear energy.

In addition to the core energy support provided by the atomic energy, solar panels will be installed in the inner area of the ring to power the space station, which is to ensure that the space station can be shut down in the event of a nuclear power shutdown, and the modules can continue to operate with stable low power consumption.

To build space factories and other supporting facilities, the energy converted by solar energy can only maintain basic operation in an emergency, and it is unrealistic to supply a large amount of energy consumption.

At this time, one of the core researchers at the meeting spoke: "The variable specific pulse magnetic plasma engine has been successfully developed, and it is relied on to propel the annular module of the space station to create artificial gravity." ”

Luo Sheng nodded.

The engine uses a plasma space propulsion system instead of fuel propulsion, and the in-house R&D team has completed more than 1,500 hours of continuous ignition testing in the second half of 2014.

"The other great news is that there is also a breakthrough in converting the power generated by solar cells into a 1,250 kW multi-channel Hall thruster, which can use both conventional propellants and new propellants for the use of resources in in-situ outer space, providing a second line of safety for the space station," the researcher added. ”

Luo Sheng nodded again and said in satisfaction: "Well, not bad!" ”

In addition to stabilizing the entire space ladder, the "Forerunner 1" located in the high-altitude synchronous orbit is also an extraterrestrial spaceport hub station, where the resources brought back from outside the earth will be transferred here, and the materials will descend nearly 36,000 kilometers from here with the ladder cable, and be sent to the low-orbit "Forerunner 2" space station, and then enter the planet's surface.

The real core is the "Forerunner 2" space station, relying on the space station to extend and build space factories, space docks, space power plants, space farms, space real estate, space tourism and many other industrial facilities.

These are all in the plan, implemented step by step, and gradually improved.

The huge "Forerunner 2" space station has a complete life support system and complete living and living functions, and theoretically human beings can live on the space station forever under the condition of sufficient resource supply.

The 13,300 tonnes is just an asxs, not the end, and its future scale will only grow and become more and more abundant as it continues to grow, until it becomes a super space city.

Zheng Tao, who was sitting next to him, shook his pen, then looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Mr. Luo, the people from the National Aviation Bureau came to me yesterday to chat, and it seems that they intend to merge the Tiangong space station project, and I can only take you out and push people back." ”

Zheng Tao really can't be the master of this matter.

After the ladder project was reported, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also knew, but it was okay not to know, but after knowing this, the people in the Tiangong project didn't want to play directly, and even wanted to jump directly to Star Arrow International.

The International Space Station is small in front of the two "Forerunner" super space stations, and Tiangong is smaller than the International Space Station.

In terms of budget, the two "Pioneer" space stations are more than 2 trillion US dollars, and the current budget is 15 trillion yuan, while the budget of the Tiangong space station is 40 billion yuan, and the budget of the "Pioneer" space station is 375 times that of it.

No one is in the mood to play.

If the ladder project is a foreigner's project, then there is nothing to say, and if you work hard, you have to do a good job in the heavenly palace, no matter how small it is, it is also your own, but the ladder project is a space project led by the Chinese people, so it is completely different.

Luo Sheng is engaged in such a crazy century project here, and no matter how beautiful the Tiangong project is, it doesn't seem to be of much significance, but it is a bit like playing at home.

At the end, Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "Cooperation is possible, but even if it is merged, the Air State Administration is a state agency, we are a private commercial company, and the ladder project gathers global capital, which is complicated, you can fall in love but not get married." ”

Zheng Tao, who heard Luo Sheng's last sentence, smiled: "Isn't this a hooligan......

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "So you have to spread it out in advance, if it doesn't work, don't talk about love, everyone is worry-free." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked around at everyone and added: "Over the years, we have also cultivated a large number of core talents, and there are people from the Air Aviation Bureau who want to jump ship, we can accept them, but we can't take the initiative to poach people." ”

Everyone nodded silently, mixed with too many factors, but it was a burden.

Luo Sheng continued: "The ladder project is too vast, even if Star Arrow International has strong technical force and strong financial support, in the face of space exploration, deep space exploration projects, it still needs external support, so we can't be alone, we must do Star Arrow International control the strategy, and provide certain financial and technical support, give full play to the wisdom of private and other commercial companies, for my use." ”

Liu Jianwei, who had never spoken, couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Mr. Luo, what do you mean, can the ladder project be made public?" ”

Luo Sheng nodded slowly and said with a smile: "The project has actually started, and it is too late for investors to get out of my car now, so I can't help them, I can give them a big surprise." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look weird, everything is easy to say before the vote, I am your father after the vote, do you want to be so realistic.

Where is this surprise, investors are not shocked to know the truth.

Luo Sheng added: "Such a huge and vast super project, countless pairs of eyes around the world with a magnifying glass to stare at you, analyze and study you, it is not long to hide, and a high-profile announcement with a strong posture can boost the confidence of investors." ”

Zheng Tao rolled his eyes in his heart, and investors knew that even if they couldn't withdraw their investment, they would at least yell like fans of the national football team: "RNM will return the money!! ”

The ladder project is definitely to be as exciting as possible, either if you succeed, everyone will go to heaven together, or if you fail, you will all go to hell.
