[Chapter 516: Star Port Structure]

During the internal seminar, Ren Hong and a group of aerospace professional engineers focused on the construction of the "Tiangong Circular Orbit Star Port". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The main structure of the "Tiangong Orbital Starport" will include the following important cabins: two core modules with a capacity of 300 cubic meters each, five experimental modules or space life cultivation rooms with a total of 470 cubic meters of space, two cargo cabins with a total of 160 cubic meters of space, three supply cabins at 100 cubic meters, 190 cubic meters and 120 cubic meters respectively, and a giant annular centrifugal gravity maker with an inner ring diameter of more than 200 meters, reaching 218 meters.

This huge centrifugal gravity maker will be the only multi-compartment space with gravity in the "Tiangong Orbital Star Port", where the gravity created by the centrifugal force generated by rotation can allow astronauts in space to get out of weightlessness like on Earth, and the centrifugal gravity maker will make it possible for humans to live permanently in space.

Here, the diet and daily life of astronauts or scientific and technological workers on the starport will be located here, including personal lounges, bedrooms, and fitness rooms, and the equipment needed for daily sports such as treadmills will be sent to the starport in the future, and the entire centrifugal gravity generator ensures that the astronauts of the starport can have a good guarantee in the weightless working environment of space.

The centrifugal gravitational fabricator occupies more than 6,200 cubic meters of space, which is more than six times the capacity of the decommissioned International Space Station.

The overall outline of the "Tiangong Circular Orbit Star Port" presents the shape of the word "Yu" under a relatively level view, and the interesting thing is that the outline of the "Tianzhou" currently in orbit presents the shape of the "T". As for the "Heavenly Palace", in the middle of its outline is the usual diagram of where the centrifugal gravitational maker is located, the first horizontal above, the supply module and cargo cabin on the left, and the experimental module or outer space life cultivation room on the right. Between the two horizontal sections of the zigzag is the first core cabin, and the longer section below is the second core cabin, which is also the largest.

And at the end of the "Yu" shape of the end of the hook is another use, here will become the first space telescope of the republic, although there is a diameter of 500 meters of Guizhou super "Sky Eye" such a radio telescope, but the barrier of the atmosphere is always a factor that can not be ignored, in outer space to have its own space telescope for this country is imminent, the domestic astronomical institutions learned of CMSX's "twin plan", a group of the most authoritative astronomers jointly petitioned to hope that in the "Tiangong Orbit Star Port." "Build a space telescope.

After Ren Hong saw this document delivered to him, he did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.

"Tianyan No. 2" was born from this. Once sent into space, it will become the most advanced space telescope so far, and the performance data will surpass that of the "Hubble Telescope" that once replaced the "Hubble Telescope" and is now old. Webb Space Telescope".

However, the sky-high cost of "Tianyan-2" is more expensive than the "Webb Space Telescope", Ren Hong will not be stupid to pay out of his own pocket, it is nearly 10 billion US dollars, and the national astronomical agency is paying out of his own pocket, as for Ren Hongma, he said that he will help "Tianyan-2" send it to space at the cost of transportation, and matrix technology can help it maintain, but the maintenance fee has to be charged.

Familiar to familiar, one yard to one yard, you can be discounted but never free, there is no such good thing in the world.

The estimated investment of the "Twin Plan" has reached the same level as the "virtual world" project, and the future will only be higher, space exploration is a real gold-swallowing monster, just a "Tiangong Orbital Starport" will cost matrix technology nearly $500 billion in funds, not to mention that the "Mars mission" behind is a gold-swallowing monster that is not much to be desired.

If it weren't for today's matrix technology, which has laid a favorable foundation for business globalization and the super cash cow of the "virtual world", Ren Hong would not dare to play like this, don't forget that the company still has a "western project" that is also burning funds, and the two money-burning "double engines" are fully started, even the super fund owner like matrix technology is also under pressure, but fortunately, the foreseeable returns in the future are unimaginably abundant, and all the investment and all the efforts will get huge benefits that cannot be described in words.

The more you invest, the more you get back!

For the "Tiangong Circumferential Orbit Starport", its relatively flat view is a large and eye-catching "Yu" shape, but its relative upper view is different, large and small cabins are connected together, fortunately, the air resistance in outer space is almost negligible, and there are not so many requirements for the shape of the starport.

With a length of more than 300 meters from top to bottom, this length is almost comparable to that of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

In addition to the above structure, the position of the second core module of the "Tiangong" will be erected with two large trusses of more than 230 meters, if the upper horizontal of the "Yu" shape is removed, and then the entire starport is rotated at a 90-degree angle and then the eye is level, then the "Tiangong" will appear a "Yu" shape with a head coming out, if the removed upper horizontal is added, it will present a "king" character, and the tail and a hook are exposed below.

The two trusses docked in the second core module are not antennas, but the two berthing ports of the starport, and they are also the real protagonists of the "Mars mission", after the two trusses are built, they will become two superspacecraft, at that time, they will be separated from the starport, carry a large number of materials and some landers to Mars, and become a sub-station in orbit in orbit, and will also become the first human space station in Martian orbit, and the materials on the other truss will become an outpost base on the surface of Mars.

Everything is the result of repeated discussions, research, experiments, simulations, etc., before the final solution is determined.

The general structure of the "Tiangong Orbit Star Port" has been established, Ren Hong and Liu Yuliang and others continued to discuss for a period of time before leaving, wanting to send the 7700 tons of Star Port to outer space is not an overnight thing, nor is it something that Ren Hong can do alone, many of the details he does not care about need engineers to overcome day and night, to eliminate a possible potential danger.

As a result, "China Matrix" has become a subsidiary with the largest number of employees under the group company, reaching a huge scale of 2,000 people, nearly two-thirds of whom are scientific and technological engineers, and can obtain so many elite-level talents, some talents such as Liu Yuliang and other technical and management talents or top scientists such as Professor Wan Yuanxi, without the support of the National Aviation Administration and the government, it is impossible to work for CMSX.

In the afternoon, Ren Hong came to the control center of the launch tower, at this moment, the "Arc Eagle No. 1" air and space transport aircraft will carry out the first flight test flight at about dusk, this test flight is particularly critical, not only to test the performance of the "Arc Eagle No. 1", but also to test the launch tower, this is a "double test" nature of the test flight mission.

"Boss!" Ding Yang quietly came to Ren Hong's side and said in a low voice: "According to the itinerary, you have an appointment meeting, and you should meet with the CEO of Bigelow Aerospace in half an hour." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ren Hong said uncertainly, his work itinerary, activities and arrangements often don't even understand himself, and basically Ding Yang is responsible for reminding him.

Meet Bigelow in half an hour? This made him a little embarrassed, because he was about to have a test flight, and after thinking about it, his heart moved, and he said: "You go and respond to Bigelow now, if he wants to, bring him here, or postpone, see you when you are free, by the way, when are you free?" ”

"A month and a half later." Ding Yang thought about it for a moment, and then replied.

"I don't have to see each other after a month. That's it, do as I say, no pull-down! After that, Ren Hong set his eyes on the busy staff on the launch tower and the runway, the snow-white "Arc Eagle No. 1" aerospace transport aircraft is on the horizontal runway, at this moment, the engineers are carrying out all aspects of the inspection around the transport aircraft.
