[Chapter 511: "Twin Plans"]

In fact, Ren Hong himself has not been involved too much in space technology, but the space technology process of matrix technology is still in full swing, the most important factor that cannot be ignored is the support of the National Aviation Administration behind the scenes, not only to share technology with the "China Matrix", but also to send a large number of talents, Ren Hong actually issued some task indicators, his biggest work or research is mainly the scientific and technological decoding of the blue water giant.

With Liu Yuliang at the helm of the "China Matrix", Ren Hong only needs to invest money and formulate the general direction, and there are really any technical difficulties that cannot be overcome, so he will join in, but fortunately, he is not needed much at present.

However, the space technology of the "China Matrix" has another biggest feature, and it is also Ren Hong's greatest contribution, that is, the huge difference between the system and the Western space technology, because the existence of the "Amethy Source Crystal" has led to the development of the space technology of the "China Matrix" towards another inflection point, in other words, it is more advanced, and the "Amethy Source Crystal" with small size and high energy storage as the power source means that the bloated rocket launch can be completely abandoned, and more materials can be carried to greatly reduce the launch cost.

This completely different transmission tower officially changed the development direction of matrix technology and even the entire country in the space technology system because of the discovery of "amethy crystal".

True, this launch tower is not intended for rocket launches, but for the launch of aerospace transport aircraft. Let's talk about the "Fox Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft, this type of transport aircraft is a special type of aircraft for transporting materials to space, with a length of 42 meters, a wingspan of 18 meters, and a maximum payload of 63 tons of materials.

The Arc Eagle is much smaller than the decommissioned U.S. space shuttle Columbia, but its payload is more than twice that of Columbia. To be able to do this, it must be inseparable from the energy supply of "Amethyspar" as a power thruster.

The bloated "Columbia" space shuttle needs a large part of its mass for propulsion fuel, but the "Arc Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft powered by "Amethysis", a purple stone the size of a can can can undertake all the energy supply needed by the entire transport aircraft to travel between space and the ground, which means that most of the space and carrying capacity originally occupied by fuel can be turned into transportation materials.

And the complete abandonment of rockets is an absolute turning point for human spaceflight.

The launch tower completely replaces the rocket, and the "Arc Eagle" air and space transport plane enters the ejection track of the launch tower on the take-off runway, and in just nine seconds, the air and space transport aircraft can obtain an acceleration of 3.5 g when the transport plane and the launch tower are separated from the launch tower with the help of a semi-"U" shaped ejection track in nine seconds, and the "Arc Eagle" air and space transport plane has a speed of 36,000 kilometers per hour, which is more than the speed of 8,000 kilometers per hour than the US space shuttle.

According to the plan, the mass of the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port" is as high as 7,700 tons, and the "Arc Eagle" will carry out at least more than 150 round-trip transportation between outer space and the earth according to the standard material load of 50 tons.

It is just an air-space transport aircraft, and the efficiency is too slow, so the "China Matrix" plans to build 10 "Arc Eagle" air-space transport aircraft to meet transportation needs.

Fortunately, the discovery and application of "Amethysis" has greatly reduced the cost of Matrix Technology's space activities, if the carrier rocket is used to undertake the materials for the launch and construction of the orbital starport, not only due to the rocket load to double the number of launches and transportation, reaching more than 300 times, the supply of rockets will definitely not be able to keep up, resulting in the construction cycle of the orbital starport soaring, and the expensive, cheap, and inefficient rocket launch costs are enough to make people despair.

A launch requires a consumption of 150 million to 300 million US dollars, more than 300 shipments, and the freight alone exceeds 50 billion US dollars.

Fortunately, the "China Matrix" does not have these troubles, and the existence and use of Amethy Source Crystal allows the "China Matrix" to obtain a cheap cost of space exploration, which is an incomparable advantage of Western space exploration.

Ren Hong left the control center of the transmission tower and came to the production workshop, "China Matrix" is in the north of the company's headquarters, covering an area of 360 hectares, which is larger than the area required by the R&D and production center of any subsidiary of Matrix Technology. There is no way, the characteristics of the "Chinese matrix" are like this, a launch tower and take-off runway must occupy a large space, there must be protection around it, and a lot of space must be vacated.

Ren Hong inspected the space base for most of the day, and basically had a general understanding of all the planning processes, and to his surprise, the progress of the project was much faster than he expected. However, it is also relieved to think about it, the efficiency is so fast thanks to the internal sharing of the technology tree of Matrix Technology, the support of the external Air Aviation Administration and the government, and the "help" of major brother companies, such as the subsidiary AI, which is about to provide a group of intelligent machinery production troops to help the production of materials for the "Tiangong Orbit Star Port".

As long as the raw materials arrive, the intelligent machinery manufacturing production line can be fully started, and the efficiency of production and manufacturing is enough to be described as a dream.

On the third day, the "China Matrix Space Exploration Technology Corporation", which has been tepid, announced important news to the outside world.

The "China Matrix" has not been seen much since its inception, and all the limelight has been stolen by the project plans of sister companies, and now the high-profile announcement of important plans has immediately attracted the attention of the industry, especially related scientific institutions such as astrophysics and astronomy.

No one dares to underestimate this company, although matrix technology is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, but backed by one of the world's top aerospace powers, no one dares to ignore this "new player", "Chinese matrix" has no shadow of the National Aviation Administration, just like NASA in the United States relative to SpaceX.

Interestingly, the "China Matrix" released information to the outside world. The AIDA organization, which has just concluded the 6th "Planetary Defense" conference, said that they are very happy, because they think that the news released by the "China Matrix" this time should be to join AIDA, in fact, the outside media generally think so.

AFP media also reported that Matrix Technology deserves to join AIDA, although it is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, but it is also a company that is not weaker than SpaceX, Alphabet and other upstarts, and will not be weaker than Laura Space Systems These old aerospace companies, XLOUS's potential is undoubted.

"What? Refuse? Didimens, the head of the AIDA agency, still in Cologne, Germany, stared blankly at the ceiling. The voice from thousands of miles away in the communicator came into my ears again: "Yes sir, the other party's 'tactful' refusal to join." ”

Ending the communication, Didimons muttered, "How could he refuse? Was it an act of retaliation for the efforts made to apply for the initiator of the Ninth Space Agency? ”

After thinking about it, Didimons shook his head again, this is not like the style of the Chinese. No matter how these foreigners thought about it, they would never have thought that the space technology they were proud of was already an expensive and cheap technology in Ren Hong's eyes, so they simply disdained it.

The news of Matrix Technology's rejection of AIDA's invitation to join has spread far and wide, which has shocked the industry, and the consensus prediction of mainstream voices has made a collective mistake, and at the same time, I don't understand why I want to give up such an opportunity. Or something else?

For a while, there were different opinions, and the media who saw the wind and rudder suddenly pulled out AIDA, and the "euphemistic" refusal of Matrix Technology was too much of a slap in the face. AIDA has been disgraced to the South China Sea in the world this time, and the "Daily Mail" can't help but joke and ridicule, reminding AIDA in a teaching tone not to talk big words without being completely sure, and I hope it won't be so embarrassing again.

Matrix Technology's refusal and naked/naked/naked/face slap behavior is equivalent to saying goodbye to AIDA completely, as for AIDA, one of the parties concerned, just released a brief message, claiming that this resolution is regrettable, and then it will be over.

The "China Matrix" announced that it would officially hold a press conference a week later, and announced a large-scale space exploration project called the "Twin Programs" on the official website of the parent company.

In this concise message, which is less than 50 Chinese characters, Matrix Technology made a simple disclosure of the "Twin Plans", which is a collective term, which is composed of "Sentinel Mission" and "Mars Mission" respectively into "Twin Plans".

The outside world has no idea what the "sentinel mission" in the "Twin Plan" announced by Matrix Technology is, and it is not possible to interpret useful information at all from the literal word, and the official has not made an explanation, and if you want to know the exact news, you can only wait for the press conference to announce more details.

But the other mission of the "Twin Plans" is different, namely: the Mars mission, the two eye-catching big characters "Mars" are placed there, although there is no specific explanation like the "Sentinel Mission", but just from the two big words "Mars", it can be explained that this so-called "Twin Plans" must be related to the exploration of Mars, and it is definitely an ambitious space project of Matrix Technology.

To hold a press conference, it is definitely not a petty fight.

A brief piece of official news immediately attracted the attention of practitioners in astronomy and astrophysics and major space fields around the world.

Matrix Technology announced that it was going to hold a press conference, and the global media liked to see it, because referring to past examples, every time this company held a press conference, the number of subscriptions and click-through rates at that stage soared, and these are all real banknotes.

For a time, the world's major mainstream media sent reporters to the "China Matrix" at the press conference of the headquarters of Matrix Technology to participate in the press conference.
