In 2054, the Tiantai-3 rocket will be launched in Qiandi.

In this era, although the global war is increasingly developing towards the Skynet war, most of the rocket technology and the earth's rocket technology still come from the level of the Mars moon landing in the last century.

The only difference is that the scale has increased, and a large number of industrial production links have become automated. The reason for the increase in scale is that the space program began to be converted to civilian use.

In another timeline, there was a saying that "if the industry controlled by a certain country is converted to civilian use, then it will definitely be developed." This statement has gradually become a public opinion policy. After all kinds of market economy rules shook everyone's face, everyone was confused and let the state-owned enterprises turn into privatization.

#

From the perspective of the most practical science and technology, the development of science and technology must have two points, the first is more funding, and the second is that scientific researchers must have enthusiasm. To solve these two problems, it is necessary to make use of the national civilian market and the money of the large market to solve these two problems.

Instead of establishing a separate secret department, relying on the little financial allocation from the state to engage in science and technology.

However, the key to solving these two points lies in how to leverage the wealth of the whole country to the country's strategic industries. It is not necessary to hand over the work of leveraging the wealth of the whole country to certain people and to raise some large private conglomerates. (i.e. to the private sector)

#

Leveraging the nation's wealth and investing in strategic development industries, the most obvious examples of this in the early 21st century are real estate and infrastructure development in the Midwest.

At that time, young people in the east were invulnerable: "The state supports real estate, and the state plays." At the same time, he was also invulging: "Why doesn't the state allocate funds to build the western region." When talking about rights, I think that my rights have been squeezed out, and when I talk about responsibilities, I think that it has nothing to do with myself.

#

To build the western region, it is necessary to have a large-scale iron and steel industry, cement industry, and heavy machinery manufacturing industry. If the steel industry, the cement industry, and the heavy machinery industry are too small, the infrastructure sector will not be able to buy enough steel, cement, and mixer trucks, even if it is heavily funded.

And such a large-scale basic industry cannot be raised out of thin air by relying on state appropriations.

With so many people's wages, the transportation of raw materials for mines, and coal mines, it is impossible for the government to rely on the national justice to allow workers in these industries to work for free.

It is also impossible to over-issue banknotes to buy. Then there is only one way to accumulate enough money from private funding.

The huge real estate industry squeezed the savings of several generations, providing enough profit for the expansion of the steel and cement heavy machinery industries into super-sized. This creates the following causal relationship.

To build the western region, domestic industry must have a scale of output -- the scale of output must be stimulated by sufficient profits in order to grow -- sufficient profits must come from the national market.

#

The socialist system, which has long since assigned state responsibility to all. As for the industries (real estate) that have accumulated profits in the construction frenzy, in fact, the prices are indeed inflated

Real estate is clearly a bubble. But these bubbles are in the hands of the people. And the state has no need to worry about the negative effects of the bursting of the bubble.

Because there is probably only one thing that can cause housing prices to plummet in the big eastern cities – and that is war. And once the war starts, property prices in the east will plummet. And whoever allows his wealth to evaporate, it is clear that he is the one who provoked the war.

And when the bubble in the east bursts and a large number of people move to the west, the output value of those peacetime "ghost towns" in the west will skyrocket. And these output values are still in the hands of the state.

#

And now, in the two strategic directions of sea and space, Lu Ancai uses exactly the same means to leverage national wealth. The construction of civilian facilities for marine stand-ins and space stations are not many industries that can add value in this era.

The stand-in for the ocean is currently rented. But someone bought the storage compartment of the stand-in and the ten-year maintenance guarantee card of the stand-in in full. - These things are now adding value in this day and age. And the increase in value has tempted people in this era to smash their savings into it, and the scale of deep-sea infrastructure has also grown under the impetus of profits.

The marine stand-in that the people get is actually a bubble with a high price. Enterprises can use mechanized production to create a stand-in that is far below the market price. But the stand-in thing must be integrated into the network in order to be controlled. Joining the network requires government permission. Now in space, Luan can be said to be doing the same trick again. Ready to continue to start a similar industry.

#

In Lu An's eyes, the label of China's national navigation is very weak, while the label of farming is very strong.

For the Chinese, option one: if you sail for ten years, there is a 10% probability of getting rich. Option 2: 10 years of farming, 100% get a house. A place for self.

Most Chinese would choose two.

So instead of shouting: "Our journey is a sea of stars". It is more down-to-earth with "our property, in the sea of stars".

#

The tide of an era has begun, and in this tide, Lu An's splits are moving forward along the water droplets in the wave.

A blue rocket goes into space. In the communication of the ground tower, Zhao Mingyi obtained permission to leave the warehouse.

Zhao Mingyi took a deep breath and nodded at the other splits, he didn't have much politeness to himself. They are very tacit and follow the summarized operation process. Out of the capsule.

In the weightless space, Zhao Mingyi, as always, inspects all aspects of the space station from the outside. Everyone is familiar with these jobs

For example, the welds and rivets of titanium alloys are stable in operation. Another example is whether the electronic control system of the solar panel is working properly. Wait a minute.

In practice, almost any aspect of a technology system can fail. These need to be checked by a human before they can be focused on monitoring these aspects with intelligent AI.

Now the mature scientific and technological systems in space are all space testers like Zhao Mingyi who conduct preliminary inspection and testing. Then AI monitoring was put into it, and a comprehensive data collection was collected. It can only be used for limited use after a thorough test by a tester in space. In the course of limited use. The tester needs to follow along all the time.

#

In recent years, the price of space transportation has plummeted.

Space testers are extremely demanding. In the market, the academic requirements and assessment standards of space testers have been raised to a high point. The salary level was raised to the level of 3 million Chinese dollars a month. In short, ten times more expensive than the pilots of ten years ago.

If ten years ago pilots were the same weight of gold, now the inspectors of spaceships are worth the same volume of gold.

#

Zooming out the perspective from Zhao Mingyi, you can see the whole picture of the space station where Zhao Mingyi is now

It's a huge spaceship.

Zhao Mingyi's body is very small compared to the entire spaceship, and the body of this spaceship is comparable to a hundred-meter building. And the sun sails on both sides are like squares. The whole spaceship sight is a giant mosquito.

On the sides of the spaceship, fifteen kilometers of huge solar sails. The solar sails spread out like a huge plain.

Each solar sail is actually connected in series by a series of small solar sails, because there is no gravity in space. Therefore, it is only necessary to rely on electromagnetic force to maintain this relatively flat state.

Zhao Mingyi inspected the titanium alloy structure of the spaceship's hull. and an outer magnetic protective layer structure

The other part of the spaceship is examined separately. On the sun sail as wide as the plain, another split takes this small runabout-like vehicle, and on the wide solar sail surface, the operation of the solar sail modules is checked.

Zhao Mingyi's way of checking is like a spider man hanging in the building, climbing on the building.

And this split that checks the sun sails is like a farmer sitting on agricultural machinery on the Great Plain of Henan Province and driving on the plain. Like a harvester harvesting the ground, the machine moves in parallel, scans with lasers, docks with radio information, and inspects solar panels.

Of course, there are other parts of the body that are detecting other parts, such as the super radar transmitter where the head of the main body of the spaceship is aimed at the Earth. and the tail of the spaceship, a super telescope aimed at the starry sky

Such a magnificent spaceship was built by teleporting a large number of space materials.

#

The spaceship was built for the purpose of technical verification of space immigrants, and most of these technical verifications seem to have nothing to do with the lives of small people.

For example, nuclear fusion energy, the long-awaited perpetual motion machine energy on the ground, but in reality, this energy system is intended for space civilization. Human exploration of the earth's crust has intensified, and the abundant geothermal resources have made it unnecessary for mankind to develop artificial high-energy reactors. Because the Earth's core is a natural high-energy reactor. On the contrary, space is the zone where energy is scarce.

People who never thought that mankind would one day go into space on a large scale in the future would be disdainful of this kind of investment because of the small people's thoughts. However, the idea of small people cannot replace the dream of human exploration of outer space. The country's strategy remains to move forward with the realization of its dreams.

After finishing the work outside the spaceship, Zhao Mingyi walked into the space station, just like in a science fiction movie, the steel structure in the interstellar battleship fell, with a total of three layers of steel gates.

respectively

The first level of the gate: from top to bottom, slowly closes.

The second level of gates: left and right, closing to the middle at the same time.

The third layer of the gate: the four sides of the gate, each protruding a triangle, just spliced together.

Zhao Mingyi looked back at the last gate to close, for this gate design, Zhao Mingyi has always wanted to complain about "why do you want to engage in three mechanical structures for the three-layer gate?"

Even Zhao Mingyi knew that this gate was designed by himself (other splits).

##

Walking into the space capsule, I saw a large number of diamond-shaped cubes inside, in the weightless environment, two small fans were deployed, moving back and forth in the space capsule. This is the kingdom of robots, with a total of 27 types of robots, large and small, shuttling through the orbital modules of the space station, just like all kinds of cells in human veins.

But the real dominants are still the two hundred and forty-two humans on the space station.

After walking to the common room, Zhao Mingyi met an acquaintance

Zheng Si (a third-level ability) immediately shouted Zhao Mingyi after seeing Zhao Mingyi walk in.

People take food as their day, and the topic of conversation between the two began with food.

#

Zheng Si: "That, did I buy the braised seasoning I wanted, did you bring it, my deep-sea prawns can't wait." ”

Zhao Mingyi approached and said: "Bring it, but the leaders below are very unhappy with your move to open up space to raise aquatic products in space warfare." ”

Note: In weightless environments, in high oxygen and low gravity environments, primitive marine crustaceans grow very large. Of course, some insects also grow very large, and when these simple creatures skyrocket in a nutritious weightless environment, the flesh quality also begins to move closer to that of marine life.

The current aquatic room has a very vivid name, called Cambrian aquarium tube, because the aquatic body size here is indeed comparable to those super creatures in the Cambrian. Of course, even if the size of the ancient overlord is restored, it will still be a dish.

Zheng Si smiled and said, "I'm testing the good seeds." ”

Zhao Mingyi muttered: "The good seed of the weightless environment of space can't grow on the earth at all. You're just greedy," he said, as he tapped at the electronic assistant that was already floating in front of him (this is a hovering drone, which is very agile in zero gravity. ）。

This electronic assistant turned on the electronic screen.

On the electronic screen, a catalog of freight warehouses appeared. In the list of rows of daily necessities, Zhao Mingyi clicked on the salt column. Pointing to it, he said, "Numbers 2341 to 2347, that's what you want." (As a member of the space shuttle, Zhao Mingyi has private permission to carry some cargo.) ）

From the topic of eating, the two soon began to extend to the spaceship.

#

Zhao Mingyi said: "I have already checked the heat dissipation system of the spaceship. On the backlit surface of the entire spacecraft, the uneven thermal # expansion and contraction effect caused small cracks to appear in some welding parts. The level of temperature control still needs to be controlled. And then there's the fusion cooling system, which I think should be redesigned. ”

Zheng Si looked at the spaceship system report in front of him and said, "You're right, it's time to redesign. The two of them spent a few more words discussing the finished work matter. - Then the topic jumps to Earth.

#

Zheng Si looked at Zhao Mingyi and suddenly asked an extracorporeal question: "Below, how is the war fought?" ”

Zhao Mingyi spread his hands and said, "Who knows, those upper-class families are crazy, maybe they will calm down." ”

Zheng Si: "Are we likely to be affected?" ”

Zhao Mingyi smiled and said, "It's not clear, but," Zhao Mingyi looked at Zheng Si and said inexplicably: "If we are affected, no one will be able to solve the economic problems on the earth after the war." ”
