Chapter 866 Alone to Engage in the Space Station (A change for the prodigal son of the alliance leader.)
The short three words of the space station seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and all the bases were bright-eyed, and almost all of them couldn't help but continue to squeeze forward, all of them wanted to get closer to Cai Ruichen.
"May I ask Dr. Cai, is the future space station a separate project of the Future Technology Group, or a cooperative project?"
One of the excited reporters asked in a loud voice.
"The future space station is its own project of Future Technology Group, from technology to funding, all of which are owned separately without any partners."
Cai Ruichen's answer once again caused an uproar, the space station is not a small project, it is a super money-burning scientific research project.
Huaxia is the only one in the world who is working on the Tiangong space station project, and the International Space Station project is a joint project of all major international communities in the world.
The space station needs a lot of money every year to improve and maintain, and few countries in the world can get this money every year.
When the International Space Station was first built, the United States excluded Huaxia from the space station program because it was afraid of technical leaks, which led to Huaxia's own Tiangong project.
I thought that it was impossible to carry out a third space station test project in this world, but I didn't expect that the future technology group, which had not even had a little wind before, suddenly wanted to build a space station project by itself.
This...... Definitely one of the super news of the year, a company to build a space station on its own, is simply a super unbelievable thing.
You must know that the key projects and investments of companies and enterprises are all about making money. But the space station project, there is no money to be earned, the purpose is to let mankind know more about space and the universe.
A space station project is at least tens of billions of dollars. It takes up to one or two decades of non-stop investment, and it also has to transport astronauts up and supply supplies, which is an expense that even countries like France and the United Kingdom cannot afford.
Future Technology Group has money, and this is known to the whole world. But coming up with such a project really scared everyone.
After all, even if the future technology group is rich, I am afraid that it will not be able to carry out such a big project.
just saw Cai Ruichen's confident appearance. In addition, in the past year or so, Future Space Company has made many breakthroughs in human space technology, and many reporters have also fallen silent.
"Isn't the Iraqi government not involved in this project?" Another reporter asked.
"I told you. This is a project of Future Technology Group itself. Without any second party involvement, our astronauts will also stay on the station for a long time after the basic structure of the space station is stabilized. Cai Ruichen replied.
"Then may I ask Dr. Cai, what level will the scale of the space station reach in the future, and what kind of scientific experiments will be carried out?"
"The size of the future space station will be determined by funding and needs, and the goal of building the space station is to better understand the solar system and the universe, crack the code of the universe, and also observe the natural environment of the earth."
After Cai Ruichen answered this question. He turned around and left, and a large number of reporters wanted to ask questions. When the words came to his mouth, he could only swallow them all back.
The unexpected interview with Cai Ruichen is already a good harvest for them, especially this news about the space station, which is definitely no less than a twelve-magnitude earthquake for the development of the global space field.
The achievements of Future Technology Group in the field of space technology have been talked about for more than a year.
However, the news of the future space station is still amazing news for the whole world.
No one ever thought that such a big project could appear in the hands of a company, and it was not cooperated with any party.
You must know that the European Space Agency does not have such funds to build a space station independently, but only to build an international space station with the United States, Russia, Japan and other countries.
Many reporters couldn't wait to pass on the news as soon as possible, and even directly applied for the permission to broadcast the live broadcast, which was broadcast live this time when the two launch vehicles were launched at the same time.
The simultaneous launch of two launch vehicles is also a good news material in itself.
Cai Ruichen, who entered the control center, did not pay attention to these reporters, he was also on a whim, otherwise under normal circumstances, he rarely accepted interviews.
It's not that he's cold and disdainful of reporters, it's that he really doesn't have that kind of time and mood, and if there is something, he has a team to help him announce major news and decisions.
And this time, Cai Ruichen originally did not plan to announce the future space station in a high-profile manner, and there was no need for him to publicize it.
After the successful launch of the launch vehicle, the world will soon know after the docking of the two most basic capsules of the future space station.
When the time comes, the media of various countries will naturally report on this matter.
Therefore, before this, Future Technology Group has never taken the initiative to announce this matter.
Inside the control center, hundreds of staff members were already doing the final checks before launch.
It is not a simple matter to launch two launch vehicles at the same time, the two launch vehicles must maintain the same speed and orbit, and it is necessary to calculate the coordination of the two launch vehicles during the flight.
It is guaranteed that the two launch vehicles will not interfere with each other due to air currents during the simultaneous launch.
However, for a future space company that already has more than a dozen successful launches and recovery experience, there are no technical difficulties in launching two launch vehicles at the same time.
Not to mention the simultaneous launch of two, four and eight launch vehicles at the same time, it is no problem. After all, in the future satellite launch center, there are eight launch vehicle launch platforms at the same time.
It is not that the future space company does not have the ability to launch eight launch vehicles at once, it is just a question of whether it is necessary to launch so many launch vehicles at once.
Cai Ruichen's arrival did not affect everyone inside, and everyone stayed in their respective posts.
The launch of the launch vehicle is only the first step of the work, what really makes everyone bothered is whether the two space capsules launched at the same time can complete the docking in space, as long as the first capsule and the second space capsule are docked, the first step of the future space station will be perfectly completed.
There is experience in launching launch vehicles, but docking with space capsules is still a new challenge for future space companies.
Moreover, the entire technology is not borrowed from other countries, everything is based on the technology of the base.
Naturally, there is no problem with the technology of the base, but it still requires considerable care to apply these technologies in practice. (To be continued.) )
