Chapter 461: Isn't this a space aircraft carrier?
Lightning rod?
Not really.
Dong Chen suddenly felt a little faint pain in his head, touched his bald head and said, "I think it's okay, it's not a lightning rod, if you have to compare it, it can be regarded as an escape tower at most, but whether it is a lightning rod or an escape tower, it is very important." ”
"It doesn't matter if your metaphor is important or not, but we are a space station, and nothing else, this comparison is a bit too different, and it is too unsightly to be in front of it." Sun Hao said helplessly.
"It's better not to merge and dock. It's also a shame that the information we sent out was only our own model and plan, and we didn't directly put the basic version of the Tiangong space station in front. ”
"It's okay," Dong Chen said as he returned the flat panel monitor in his hand to Sun Hao, "If you really think it's inappropriate, the top will definitely bring it up with us." ”
“…… Well, it's your company anyway, and you've always been in contact with it, and you have the final say. ”
Sun Hao doesn't care, since Dong Chen has done everything, then he just needs to do what he wants to do well.
When the Arc Group was making full preparations, and the people eating melons were carnivaling and watching the excitement, various national institutions and aerospace companies could no longer sit still.
This is not a future plan made by a country or a company in the past, it is a real plan to be carried out, and the time is near.
Moreover, this space station is too large, with a spindle length of about 1,000 meters, and the largest activity space is about 200 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 60 meters high.
It is divided into many functional cabins, of which the largest single space is more than 200 square meters, which is the reception hall of the space station.
There are more than a dozen of them, large and small, juxtaposed to form a 1,000-meter-long spindle, and the partitions in their cabins have their own functions.
In the middle of the station's main axis and near the back third of the space station are large circular rotating chambers, which reach a maximum diameter of 500 meters, and within this diameter range are connected several circular rotating modules of different diameters and sizes.
In this way, different cabins have different simulated gravity, ranging from 0 gravity to close to 1G simulated gravity, and are used for different purposes, such as maintenance, accommodation, supplies, sightseeing, and so on.
These things add up to a lot of mass, and its tonnage is worthy of its size, with an empty weight of 5,700 tons, which is due to the use of a large number of light new materials, or it could be heavier.
This kind of tonnage was absolutely unimaginable to them before, and now the largest man-made object in space, that is, the International Space Station, is just over 400 tons.
The tonnage of 5700 is close to the total weight of human space launches for decades, and the Arc Group actually intends to complete it in a few years.
However, they still have this kind of strength, a "Eagle" class aerospace transport aircraft can transport 100 tons of cargo at a time, and now there are two arc spaceflights.
One is officially finalized, and the other is the "experimental" model that has always been said.
That is to say, they can transport 200 tons of materials at a time, and these 5,700 tons can be completed in 30 times, and their current means of transportation only need to be refueled and slightly overhauled to be used again, and if the ideal calculation is made, the materials can be transported within a month.
I think they sent something to heaven back then...... Alas, the past is unbearable.
So this kind of thing, they don't want the Arc Group to succeed, especially these foreign countries, no matter how they look at this plan, it has a close relationship with China.
This advanced version of the Tiangong space station is too big, and it is enough to do a lot of things on it, so it is different from the scientific pomp seen by the people who eat melons and scientists.
The militaries of various countries are not looking at the space station, but at dangerous space fortresses.
And Huaguo is now also meeting to deal with this ...... Different situations, after all, the things that scientists and the military have to think about, are indeed different.
“…… Their aerospace technology is really good, and their life-sustaining skills are excellent, at least I didn't feel any discomfort during the last flight. ”
"Even when traveling through the atmosphere, it is much more stable than our manned spacecraft, and the comfort and jitter give me the feeling that it is only slightly inferior to that of military transport aircraft."
"That's all for my debriefing, I'm done."
After Wang Ping finished her report, she looked at the person in military uniform who had just asked her to speak, and then waited for the next question.
After listening to her report, the people at the meeting table were all talking, and the third leader who presided over the meeting gave them a few minutes to discuss, and when the time was up, he asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”
Hearing the third leader speak, the following discussion stopped, and a soldier wearing the uniform of an air force major general asked, "Colonel Wang Ping, judging from your observation of their "Eagle"-class space transport aircraft, can it be converted into a combat aircraft at any time?" Is there a big threat to us? ”
“…… Yes, it can be modified at any time, but I don't know the level of technology of their weapons and equipment, so it's hard to be sure, but I think with our interception system, it should be okay to intercept their attacks. Wang Ping said with a slight hesitation.
"And what about the threat of their attack with the equipment we have?"
“…… Judging from our current level of technology, since it can break through the atmosphere and enter outer space at any time, it is possible that only the laser weapons that are being tested will cause damage to them. Wang Ping continued to report.
After asking those questions about the aerospace transport plane, they discussed the issue of the new Tiangong space station, if the aerospace transport plane is a major threat, then this huge space station is a space carrier full of major threats.
It orbits the Earth nearly 16 times a day, and is so huge that it can accommodate up to 6 Eagle class aerospace transport planes or 20 Hayabusa-class space planes at the same time.
There is a satellite maintenance workshop on it, so it is not much of a problem to repair the aircraft, and there are also several huge fuel storage tanks, which can be refueled at any time.
This is a standard space carrier, and considering their technological suppression, this is a big threat.
And for every country on the planet.
The most important thing is that this giant space station and these planes belong to a private company, which is the private property of this company, and belongs to the chairman named Dong Chen, and theoretically does not belong to any country.
Wang Ping listened to the talk of these soldiers here, and felt that the angles and ways of thinking about problems between soldiers and scientists were very different.
Although she is now in the military, and because of the last mission she was called over for mission debriefing and situation analysis, she is essentially an astronaut, and the current astronaut positioning is a scientist one by one, and she wears many hats.
And after human beings go to space, it is very easy to think about it, not to say that it is not patriotic, but it will really consider the problem as the space pioneer of the earth.
That's the different things that people of different identities think about.
Fortunately, Huaguo's position is still relatively reliable, and now Huaguo and Dong Chen's side belong to the honeymoon period of friendship and cooperation, although there is analysis and prevention, but this is a normal procedure, and it is completely necessary to do it for the sake of the country.
It's just that they won't really do any offensive actions, and they will still focus on stable cooperation.
Just like the honeymoon period in China and other countries, it is really what you want, as long as you pay for it, you will give the goods, but there will be no less secret precautions, and the final result proves that the precautions are really right.
The current Hua Guo and Dong Chen are the same, Hua Guo hopes that this honeymoon period can be as long as possible, and it is nothing to even pay a little something, because the benefits are really very much.
It's just that other countries don't think so, and they don't get any benefit at all.
