Chapter 137: Preventing This Accident
In order to obtain a vast space of 3,000 cubic meters, ISS has offered Arbor quite good conditions, including providing Arbor with two alliance launch missions for free and sending six Abel astronauts into space.
and on the ground, there were also promises of benefits, but they were all resolutely rejected by Abel.
The reason for the refusal is not how firmly they oppose it, but Xinyuan said: the ISS ISS is too old, the protocol and interface are not common, and if the docking causes safety risks, Xinyuan does not assume any responsibility and does not provide follow-up technical support.
Therefore, Abel still resisted the temptation, and Lin Ju, in order to appease, said that he would upgrade the next four modules of the Sila space station for free, and invited the Italian Belmond Hotel Group to design the interior and provide a better living environment.
At the same time, Lin Ju presented a special customized version to Switan and Harmand, based on the XC4 has been fully modified, and the XC5 limited edition sports car with a large number of aerospace materials is used.
However, Crown Prince Hamand was not very happy, because the old King Alette expressed a strong rejection of his request from heaven.
Lin Ju understands this mood very well, because he himself has the same feelings.
The B-class base, the fourth H1 space shuttle, the passenger version of the "Steadfast" was hoisted onto the Il-76 and prepared to be sent to Qiongzhou.
Compared to the previous three, the Steadfast has undergone major upgrades and changes.
Because it is a customized passenger version for tourism, the cargo hold of the Firm has been cancelled, and there is only a small space for the operation robotic arm, and the weight has been reduced to 20.3 tons.
The enhanced crew compartment can accommodate up to 10 people, and some seats can also be removed for some small material delivery tasks.
The biggest change is that the single liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine in the tail has become two 12-ton liquid oxygen methane engines distributed on both sides, and the center of the tail is a circular counterpart and airlock cabin, which can better ensure the thermal insulation performance from the tail docking, and the activities out of the cabin are also more convenient.
However, there is also a key point in the flight control system, which natively supports the SC09 intelligent driving system from the bottom up, and all commands are fully taken over by the SC09, which is more secure.
As well as the use of a new generation of thermal insulation tile, belongs to the research H2 thermal insulation tile produced in the transition product, can be reused 8 times and then replaced, again reduce the cost, if the use of Xinyuan 5 launch, the per capita cost has been reduced to 4 million yuan.
However, in order to realize the real era of space civilians, this number will have to be reduced by a hundred times, about 40,000 yuan to achieve that most people can grit their teeth and sit down.
But it is absolutely not possible to achieve this by the space shuttle or rocket, only a new route in the future may do.
Lin Ju naturally does not need to wait for the new route in the future, on March 11, the unity will replace the six-person crew of the Tiangong space station, the new six astronauts are two men and one woman from the Space Bureau, two professional astronauts including Deng Lei of Xinyuan Company, and a system engineer Ke Yun.
Ke Yun was an engineer who was convened with Anderov at the beginning, and his main research direction was space technology, and there was no urgent task in the base for the time being, so he was sent to test the water by Lin Ju last year.
The B-class engineer is also in good enough physical condition to require little training as a passenger, and after only a month of intensive training, he will go to space as a payload specialist.
Another payload expert, Zhao Xiaowen, has been secretly promoted to B+, leading the laser laboratory to set aside a separate area for secret research, and he will wait until a long time later.
Lin Ju tried to convince the company that he hoped to follow the first batch of space station tour groups to the sky for a few days after the completion of the second phase of the Tiangong project, and his physical fitness has now basically met the requirements, and the state of H1 is stable enough.
But this was still met with huge resistance, but fortunately, in the end, it was reluctantly agreed, and if nothing else, Lin Ju will take Progress into space around July.
And Lin Ju is avoiding this kind of accident.
On March 11, three astronauts of the Aerospace Brigade and three Xinyuan astronauts took the oath to go out, and the commander was Deng Lei, the aerospace hero.
They will challenge the new space station to live for no less than 180 days, that is, half a year.
However, the longest person in the world to live in space in 1992 was Krikalev, this dude half a year after going to space, the alliance collapsed, and he lived in space for 311 days before being followed by Lucia.
On March 22, 1995, Valery Polyakov worked continuously on the Mir space station for 437 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes and 17 seconds, which became the record for the longest time in a single human space station.
The former Alliance's "peaceful" space station is far less comfortable than Tiangong, so theoretically there is nothing wrong with surviving in Tiangong for a year and a half?
The official micro-accounts of Xinyuan, the Space Agency and the Aviation Development Commission simultaneously forwarded the launch dynamics, and Lin Ju also sent it, but it looked a little strange.
It was a photo, Lin Ju was sitting in the driver's seat of the space shuttle in a training uniform, which was taken when the Progress entered the factory for renovation, and Lin Ju in the photo looked very professional, stretching out two thumbs to the camera, with an exaggerated expression that was very joyful.
The photo is accompanied by a line of text:
"Only the own products that the boss also uses are the most reassuring."
Netizen: ???
Nasa:???
This obvious hint instantly detonated the conjecture of netizens, thanks to the large-scale popularization of the 4G network, even the speed of comments increasing after Lin Ju posted on Weibo has increased a lot.
A large number of celebrities and big Vs have listed him as the object of attention, and they grabbed comments below for the first time.
"Director Lin is going to space? So confident? ”
"Others are still showing off their private jets, and Mr. Lin will go directly to space?"
"Mr. Lin is the leader of our Asians!"
The last sentence is Keimi Arii, this old ghost is expected to go to the International Space Station again next year, and now he cherishes the way life looks, and posts space science on the Chinese Internet all day, and there are many fans.
"Director Lin is atmospheric! It's a pity that we can't sit together. "It's Chen Weizhang, this old man has lost 20 pounds in a few months of training, and his physical fitness has improved a lot.
"Ma Yilong, if he dared to take his own Dragon spaceship, he would have been able to send people to the International Space Station a long time ago, or Mr. Lin is confident!"
"Director, I'm waiting for you on the space station~"
“……”
Within half an hour of the news being sent, Lin Ju's mobile phone rang, and at first glance, it was the space agency boss:
"Xiaolin, you are bold enough, you are not afraid of being stabbed down with a bamboo pole when you go up?"
"As you said, I also have a bamboo pole, or a big bamboo pole!"
There was a burst of laughter on the phone, and then the tone became serious:
"Have you figured it out? There is no absolute certainty in the aerospace industry, and accidents are uncertain. ”
Lin Ju: "I have full confidence in my engineers, if you want to come, how about I give you a free fee." ”
Big Guy: "......"
Lin Ju: "As the helmsman of an aerospace company, I think it's important to see space in person and go up to experience it, not only me, but all the executives of Xinyuan Company should go at least once." ”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, then asked:
"With so many people going up, I'm afraid the cost of the H1 launch is not 50 million US dollars, but 50 million yuan, right?"
"Huh? Why can't I hear this broken phone? Next time I come to Beijing to talk about it, big guy, hang up...... Doodle. ”
In the capital, the big guy looked at the Progress model on the table with suspicious eyes, and was only thinking about one question: 50 million once, one shot of the Shenzhou spacecraft is enough to shoot 20 rounds?
This ridiculous thought briefly popped into his mind, and then he threw it out, it was ridiculous.
Even if you reduce costs at the craziest speed, it is impossible to achieve such a low price, although 50 million US dollars is impossible, but how to find one or two hundred million is also required.
Moreover, Xinyuan is a Chinese enterprise, as long as it is paid in RMB, the government will not be so sensitive to numbers.
Frankly speaking, the cooperation with Xinyuan is still very good, especially their efficiency, which is simply faster than common sense, and the Queqiao relay satellite was completed in March.
The role of a 3-ton large satellite cannot be replaced by a few small satellites.
The huge solar panels alone can provide abundant power, and can transmit 8K ultra-clear black and white images to the earth, or 2K smooth audio and video, and any details are clear when landing on the moon, and there is absolutely no suspicion of fraud.
On March 13, the co-operating satellite was launched into lunar transfer orbit by two booster Xinyuan-5A rockets, and is expected to reach lunar orbit on March 27.
