Chapter 42: Everyone Has a Chance to Go to Space!
Not to mention......
Chief Yang thought of the small cube stars that had been captured into the space station.
According to Sucher's introduction.
These cube stars can be used as the basic materials of the 3D printing mother machine!
Just put it into the printer.
It will be automatically decomposed and combined into the materials required by the printing machine.
And it's not just these little cubes.
Since the beginning of the last century there has been space exploration.
The country, dominated by Ame and Mao Xiong, has launched countless spacecraft into space.
These spacecraft have a limited lifespan.
After reaching the end of the design service life.
Basically, it ran aground in space and became a space junk that told the drifting.
According to the previous statistics of NAS.
There are about 4,000 operational or scrapped satellites and rocket remnants in Earth orbit.
In addition, there are about 6,000 pieces of space junk that can be seen and tracked.
And the diameter of space junk is more than one centimeter, up to 200,000!!
Most of these objects are running at speeds above 20,000 km/h!!
These objects in Earth orbit pose a threat to the satellites of various countries, as well as to the safety of space stations, at all times!
Even over the years, the spacecraft of many countries have been damaged by these space junks!
By the end of last year, there were about 100 million pieces of space junk orbiting the Earth, 27,000 of which were more than 10 centimeters in diameter!
Each piece of space junk can travel at a speed of 28,000 km/h!
When Mr. Yang thought of this, his eyes began to glow!
Such a huge amount of space junk......
But it's all the potential materials of the 3D printing mother machine on the space station!!
It's just a rough estimate.
The total mass of this garbage in space has reached a terrifying nearly 5,000 tons!!
The quality of this newly built space station is several times higher!!
……
Octagon.
In a huge room that resembles an operational command center.
Many staff members walked back and forth, and on the huge display screen on the middle wall, there was a simulation of space in the sky!
This can be clearly seen above.
There is a small red dot that is moving towards the large red dot on the simulation.
NAS Director Lauder looked at the rapidly moving point of light, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This time, about 100 small satellites were mobilized."
"I don't believe that the space station of Great Xia can hide from it!!"
But.
Soon he couldn't laugh anymore!
Just when those little satellites were about to hit that huge point of light.
A constellation of small satellites that occupy almost a full screen of space.
But the weird ones are all gone!!
Not a trace was left behind!!
"Oh! Leak! ”
"Holy!! I just yawned, where did our satellites go!??? ”
Lauder couldn't help but rub his eyes, completely unable to believe what he was seeing!
Next to him, the rest of the crowd's eyes widened.
Although the 100 or so cube stars are not big, they also occupy a large screen.
And yet, right now, right under people's noses, all of a sudden they all disappeared without a trace!
Everyone thought what was happening in front of them was outrageous!
"What did Great Xia do??
"Even anti-satellite missiles can't blow up all those small satellites into nothingness at once!!"
"Oh my God! Can they do magic!? ”
"Just now I saw that the control interface of those satellites was all black, and it seemed that it was strongly interfered with in an instant!"
"Electronic warfare weapons for space ......"
"If that's the case, this weapon is too much of a potential threat to our satellites and space stations in outer space!!"
…
I thought of the time when Great Xia protested against them before.
The wild words they unleashed.
No one could laugh!
This dumb loss, you have to eat it if you don't eat it!
After all, the Great Xia side had warned at the beginning.
The consequences of the impact on the Great Xia space station are at your own risk.
But they thought that relying on their own high-tech means, coupled with their long-term arrogance and domineering, they could slap Daxia in the face.
As a result, it didn't come to fruition, but he was slapped hard by Da Xia!
Lauder let out a breath and scolded fiercely:
"Leak!!"
"How dare they! How dare they!! ”
"More than a hundred of our satellites were scrapped at once!!"
"If you dare to knock us out a hundred this time, will you dare to knock us out a thousand next time!?"
"Do you dare to wield huge pincers in the future and cut off the solar wings of our space station!!???
"We have been crisscrossing the sea for more than half a century, and now that we are in space, are we going to be crushed by Great Xia!!
The people around looked at the furious director, and no one dared to interject.
But in their hearts, the answer has been given to Lauder.
"Yes, sir!"
"You're right."
"I'm afraid we've lost our advantage in space technology......"
Today's NAS is not the NAS of a few decades ago.
Long-lasting corruption.
As a result, NAS is now basically reduced to a kind of existence like a leather bag company just to make money.
What are the space projects.
It is also outsourced, allowing major private companies to bid.
Of course.
There are certainly some dirty things that can't be avoided.
This is a tacit rule.
No one is going to jump out and look for trouble.
Now, in addition to the space technology that was previously stockpiled, NAS is far inferior to those space companies in terms of execution capabilities.
So.
In the face of the increasingly outstanding development of space technology.
NAS really doesn't have anything to suppress!
Who let the aerospace technology of Daxia develop itself under the strict blockade of all parties!
After a frenzy.
Lauder calmed down and said to the assistant on the side: "Go, contact Mark for me!" ”
"We have to do something about it......"
…
Daxia Aviation Academy.
After solving the crisis of small satellite impacts.
All departments of the entire aviation institute have resumed normal operations.
And a huge good news has aroused the warm emotions of everyone in the entire aviation institute!
"Ahem...... That one. ”
Chief Engineer Yang announced in front of many people up and down the entire aviation academy:
"Last time, Director Su asked us to do the training work of selecting astronauts."
"for the next space launch mission."
"But all the in-service astronauts of our aviation academy, even if they add backup astronauts."
"It's only 39 people!"
"However, according to the series of space missions given by Director Su."
"This is clearly not enough!"
"So, we're going to expand the astronaut team!!"
"And because our space station is extremely advanced, a series of conditions for astronauts have been relaxed a lot!"
"Hmm...... Let's put it this way! ”
"Everyone has a chance to go to space!"
