[Chapter 513: Sentinel Mission]

Many people saw Ren Hong talking in front of the stage, and smiled in their hearts, and the head of AIDA, who was paying attention to the news at the moment, had a red face, and it was really unbearable to be mentioned again, and the words looked extremely respectful, but in fact it was the opposite. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The 'Sentinel Mission' is one of our long-standing space exploration programs!" Ren Hong said. He added: "From the beginning of human aerospace technology to today, the development of space technology and space exploration for decades, we know that space is not as peaceful and quiet as we see, and it is difficult to imagine the apocalyptic impact of Mars in the near future, if the target of the impact is the earth, it will be a terrible disaster that all mankind cannot be spared." ”

"With the continuous progress and development of human science and technology, we are more and more clear that the threat of the Earth being hit by an asteroid cannot be ignored, and the pitted landform on the surface of our moon indicates that the beautiful earth will not receive special treatment, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the moon as a satellite to protect it."

"In the immediate world, in the 2013 meteorite fall in Russia, a line of fire across the sky was witnessed by countless monitors and mobile phones. Luckily it was a relatively small meteoroid rather than an asteroid, but even then it caused more than 1,200 deaths and injuries and tens of millions of dollars in direct economic losses. It's good that the fall point is not the metropolis, otherwise the losses will only be worse! ”

"How many potential asteroid threats there are on Earth, NASA will give this map very intuitively." Ren Hong said and gently pressed the remote control button, and the giant screen showed the space orbits of the four major terrestrial planets in the solar system, except for the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Ren Hong looked at the pictures on the giant screen and said: "The boundless space is so crowded, the orbits of asteroids are crisscrossed and irregular, and the 'car accidents' that occur in places we can't see in outer space are staged every moment. ”

Ren Hong looked at everyone and said: "According to the assessment of authoritative astronomical institutions, every thousand years, an extraterrestrial body with a diameter of about 100 meters will fall to the earth, and the energy generated by a star with a diameter of about 50 meters hitting the earth is enough to destroy a super metropolis with a population of 10 million, and an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers hitting the earth will affect the entire surface, a global catastrophe of destruction." ”

"NASA's space orbit simulation is the orbit of a near-Earth object larger than 100 meters in diameter in the terrestrial planet region of the solar system, which shows how lucky our home is to survive. So far, AIDA has only confirmed about 30,000 large and medium-sized asteroids orbiting in the peri-Earth region, accounting for only 3% of the total of more than 1 million. ”

"AIDA alone is not enough. It is precisely because of these foreseeable threats that the 'Twin Plans' were born, and the 'Sentinel Mission' in the 'Twin Plans' is a defense strategy against asteroids that may hit the Earth. ”

As soon as these words came out, the media reporters at the scene were excited, they didn't care about what asteroid hit the earth or something, this kind of worrying thing, they only heard it from Ren Hong's tone...... Is this going to be a head-to-head rhythm with AIDA in the ring?

You don't have to be a media to render it a yes.

However, the scientists who came to the scene were suspicious, even if you are a technology company, even if it is backed by one of the world's aerospace powers, can compete with the AIDA, which was jointly established by the aerospace agencies of the entire Western world?

Ren Hong saw some people throwing at him with questioning looks, but he didn't care, but continued: "The 'Sentinel Mission' is dedicated to studying the threat of asteroids and formulating specific solutions, such as using a 'Skynet' made of high-strength materials to capture 100 asteroids with a diameter of about 500 meters and force them to change their original orbits, or installing artificial thrusters on the surface of asteroids to artificially change their orbits to prevent them from hitting the Earth, etc." ”

"To this end, the 'Heavenly Palace' has officially established a project, we will build the largest space station in the history of mankind and send it to outer space, and the 'Heavenly Palace' will play an important role in the entire 'Sentinel Mission', no, to be precise, in the entire 'Twin Plan'."

The largest space station ever built by mankind? The people at the scene were slightly stunned when they heard Ren Hong's statement, these people were questioning in the subconscious moment when they heard these words, but looking back and thinking about it, the abundant funds of matrix technology, the support of the National Aviation Administration, this space station is really possible, you must know that the only "Tianzhou" space station currently operating in orbit is Chinese, which means that technology is not a problem, and funding is not a problem, then the sum of the two is equal to possible.

But new questions also arise, why should the "Tianzhou" be wasted to build the "Tiangong"?

Ren Hong said with the usual excited smile of the press conference: "'Tiangong' will be the real permanent space station in human history, it will not be retired but with the times and science and technology to keep pace with the times, it is also the first functional orbital interstellar port, it will be the backbone of the 'sentinel mission' and 'Mars mission', CMSX's space exploration activities will revolve around the" Tiangong ", the volume of "Tiangong Orbit Starport" will exceed 5,000 tons!" ”

5000 tons ???

All the outsiders at the scene, whether it was scientists or reporters from various media newspapers, were dumbfounded, and everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, and they were sure that it was 500 tons instead of 5,000 tons. Even a 500-ton space station is enough to shock the world, and 5,000 tons is equivalent to the size of ten decommissioned "International Space Stations", which is also ......

In fact, strictly speaking, there is no final data on the volume of the 'Tiangong', because according to Ren Hong's vision, this orbital starport will become larger and larger, and he also concealed part of the data, and the first phase will be completed 7,700 tons.

Didimons, who was following the press conference, subconsciously stood up when he heard these words, his eyes full of incredulity. He suddenly felt that Aida really didn't deserve to lose such a powerful character.

Interestingly, no one at the scene questioned whether the 'Tiangong' could be technically successful, China is currently the only three countries in the world that can independently develop the space station and send it into space.

It's just that many people can't understand what is the purpose of making such a large orbital space station? Is it just noble for the sake of the well-being of all mankind to stop the so-called asteroid from hitting the earth? The devil believes!

Now is not the time for questions, which can only be filled in the stomach.
