Chapter 179: Press Conference

Of course, it is not big news in China that several colleges and universities have raised their scores.

The real big news is the question of the media and the aerospace community of various countries: What is Xinyuan-3 for?

It stands to reason that the capacity of Xinyuan-2 and Xinyuan-2A has fully met the needs of the space station and lunar missions, and even if Xinyuan has made public plans to land on the moon, Xinyuan-3 does not need to be in such a hurry at all.

Does it look good to build it a few years in advance and put it there? Obviously, the space community of various countries does not believe it.

In this regard, Xinyuan Aerospace Power announced that it would hold a press conference on the afternoon of the second day of the launch, and broke the news that President Lin Ju would be present to answer questions in person.

This aroused the interest of the media, Lin Ju was very low-key after sending people into space for the first time last year, and unlike Ma Yilong, he hardly appeared in public.

Of course, this is also in line with the characteristics of domestic bigwigs, who like to hide and make big moves secretly.

It's the first time I've been interviewed by a press conference.

On the afternoon of June 25, in the temporary venue arranged in Qiongzhou, Lin Ju took a deep breath, strode in, and looked at the media in the audience.

CCAV、CN、BBC、RT…… Playboy? cough, anyway, they are all quite famous magazines, and reporters from all over the world sat obediently, and they became restless when they saw Lin Ju.

Lin Ju, who has seen a lot of the world and met countless senior leaders, has no stage fright at all, he is wearing gray slacks and shirts, and he looks ordinary.

But being immersed in the circle closest to the core for a long time still makes him inexplicably bring a kind of stability and majesty to him when he is less than 25 years old.

Greeting with a smile, Lin Ju spoke first:

"Many people are curious about what Xinyuan Aerospace Power is going to do to build such a big rocket, and I want to say something before answering this matter."

The media in the audience took out their notebooks and listened carefully, this is the chicken soup link, a must-have for celebrities, they have to write it down, and they can publish a book.

Lin Ju cleared his throat and turned on the cooker mode:

"More than half a century ago, the two sides of the Cold War engaged in a space race on an astonishing scale, and on the way to the stars, two paths emerged:

First, the planetary colonizers, represented by the Apollo program, sent human beings to other planets, and envisioned the establishment of extraterrestrial colonies in the future to exploit the planet's resources;

Second, colonizing space itself, the space station is a product of this kind of thinking, and zero gravity itself also has huge development value, just the sun's radiation energy can provide amazing energy, as well as processing, planting and many aspects, there are unexpected benefits.

And I don't think there is a conflict between the two paths. ”

Lin Ju turned around, picked up the remote control in his hand and pressed it a few times, and the large screen behind him lit up, revealing a ring-shaped structure.

Facing reporters and cameras, Lin Ju opened his hands:

"That's what I'm talking about, the way to go through two paths at the same time, and it's also the first step for us to really go to the stars, 'forward' the centrifugal low-gravity space station!"

A group of reporters mixed with a lot of people related to the aerospace field, who came to interview also had a basic understanding, and instantly understood what it was, the dazzling white light of the flash light and the 'click' sound kept appearing, and Lin Ju was still introducing the parameters of the advancing space station without changing his face.

"Rotation radius 60 meters...... Empty weight 1540 tons...... The diameter of the round cabin is 14 meters, and the width of the square cabin is 11.8 meters...... The movable space is 32,000 cubic meters, and the maximum crew can survive ......"

The numbers came out of Lin Ju's mouth flatly, but they made the reporters in the audience open their mouths wide.

If this weren't the official press conference of Xinyuan Aerospace Power, they'd probably think it was on the set of Cameron's latest sci-fi movie!

“…… In the future, the Advance space station may also be equipped with a nuclear power module, including a nuclear engine and a nuclear power reactor, for interstellar voyages within the solar system, and the space will start construction this year and be completed by 2018 at the latest, and will participate in lunar missions. ”

Lin Ju finished his words, and then signaled that he could ask questions.

In the expected arm-shaped bush, the torch pointed unmistakably at Ami Playboy magazine...... Next to CNN.

A middle-aged woman with a freckled face immediately stood up: "Mr. Lin, the goal of advancing the space station is very ambitious, is this part of the Huamei Space Race?" ”

"The race has always existed, and we're all accelerating for the sake of human progress."

"Is your company's financial resources enough to support such a huge project?"

"Including the 'Forward' space station, all plans have been accurately funded, next."

Huaguo Aerospace Daily, a man with glasses stood up, looked at the manuscript in his hand and asked:

"What are the economic benefits of the EnFront space station? How can it help Xinyuan? ”

Lin Ju: "We are a commercial company, but it does not mean that all plans are to make money, the advance space station will broaden the path of human progress in space, officially open the dawn of galaxy development, it is a simple ship in Zheng He's fleet to the Western Ocean, but it is enough to travel far."

Next. ”

In the Asahi Shimbun of the island country, a female reporter with bulging gums asked in Chinese with a strange accent but very fluent:

"Xinyuan Company has hired a number of senior engineers in my country, even including the former H3 chief designer Masashi Okada, have they been involved in these projects?"

Lin Ju: "First of all, I want to correct one point, now his name is Mr. Xiao Okada, any project of Xinyuan Company needs the participation of all members, Minister Xiao Okada is not directly involved in the 'forward' plan, but he is preparing for another plan that is no less than or even surpasses the forward space station. ”

"Isn't your company rejected because of Mr. Okada's identity? What is he doing? ”

"Xiao Okada is a Naxi national, a Chinese citizen, and we have no reason to exclude him, and he has done a very good job, being one of the few technical executives and vice president of the company.

I can't say what he's doing at the moment, but I can say responsibly that his work is important, and that it will be revealed soon, the next one. ”

Perhaps because he was in a trance from the flash, Lin Ju's hand accurately pointed to the Playboy magazine reporter who was just trying to make up the numbers with soy sauce and was playing with his nails.

Lin Ju felt bad as soon as he pointed to the past, how could he subconsciously go there, but it was too late to stop.

The white man, who looked like a lewd man, stood up like a spring and said in a loud voice:

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you used to collect Kardashian's *body magazines, including our weekly magazines, when you were in college, is this information true?"

Lin Ju blushed, and spit out a sentence in English categorically:

“of course not!”
