Chapter 581 Lunar Orbital Space Station?
Huaxia Space Administration, a meeting is being held.

Qin Yuanqing was listening intently. This meeting was about the lunar orbital space station project.

Since Huaxia established the space station on the earth, the "Shuanghuan Space Station" has also continued to advance rapidly. Last year, it even realized the manned landing on the moon. Whether to establish a space station in lunar orbit has been put on the agenda. There is no doubt that compared with the "Tiangong The "Space Station" and the Lunar Orbit Space Station, in the case of the same scale, the technical difficulty and cost will be raised a lot.

However, it is necessary to establish such a lunar orbital space station, so that the lunar orbital space station and the scientific research base on the surface of the moon can form a mutual response. Back and forth with the scientific research station on the surface of the moon, to achieve long-term work and perform missions, instead of returning to Earth in a short period of time.

And this lunar orbital space station is named "Moon Palace" space station, which echoes the lunar surface base named "Guanghan Palace" project.

It can be understood that the 'Moon Palace' space station is a transfer station to the 'Guanghan Palace'.

With such a "Moon Palace" space station, it will be relatively simple to develop the moon in the future.

Therefore, the three previous meetings have demonstrated from all angles that the 'Moon Palace' space station is extremely necessary.

"I suggest that the core module of 'Moon Palace' be sent up first this year. If the core module operates stably, the launch mission of the node module and the working module should be put on the agenda as soon as possible!" A director of NASA put forward his own suggestion.

The 'Moon Palace' space station does not go directly to the 'Shuanghuan Space Station', after all the cost of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' is too staggering, and it is too difficult to carry out.So at the beginning, the goal of the 'Yuegong' space station was the 'Tiangong' space station.

The "Moon Palace" core module is the core component of the entire lunar orbital space station, which can provide power supply, propulsion, navigation, communication, attitude control, temperature control, pressurized microclimate environment and other functions.

In this regard, after the operation and testing of the 'Tiangong' space station, the related technology has been quite mature.

In addition to the above basic functions, the outside of this core module is equipped with docking devices for four spacecraft, which can be connected to other work, experiment, and node modules.

The core module mainly relies on solar energy to provide energy. After all, solar energy resources in lunar orbit are quite abundant, and this part of solar power generation technology has been very mature on the 'Tiangong' space station.

Of course, it is also possible to use the controllable fusion device 'Golden Crow Device', but this plan was quickly rejected. It is very simple, even if it is a small 'Golden Crow Device', the energy provided is still very large, and the 'Moon Palace' space station is too large. Small, only a small part of the energy can be used, and most of the energy will be wasted.

Moreover, in terms of cost, the 'Golden Crow Device' is much more expensive. Taking into consideration comprehensively, it is more cost-effective to use solar power to generate electricity.

After all, technology has never considered the most advanced, but the most suitable, and the most suitable is the best.

"After this period of demonstration, even if the existing technology is a mature technology, the 38-kilometer journey still keeps the cost high. It is estimated that the cost of the 'Moon Palace' space station will reach 400 billion yuan, and the cost of the 'Tiangong' space station The cost is about the same." A middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "According to the current CNSA funding, it is far from being able to complete the construction of this project, and we need to apply for special funds from the superior and include it in the budget review of the March meeting, otherwise We simply won't be able to launch the core module this year."

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately showed bitterness.

Although the increase of CNSA's funds in these years has been very objective, it must be known that CNSA's aerospace projects are also divided into multiple parts, and the moon-related aerospace projects are only a part. manned to the moon.

Now add another "Moon Palace" space station, the cost of which is not less than 400 billion yuan. Even if it is completed in five years, the average annual cost is as high as 80 billion yuan.

Although after their argumentation, the 'Moon Palace' space station is very necessary, but this is what they think and what they justify. Whether outsiders recognize it or not is completely different. The country can only allocate so much money every year. All walks of life in the country They all need money, and if you occupy more, others will occupy less. It is not easy to compete for funds from others.

Look at how the army used to sell all kinds of misery in order to get more military expenses. Why Ba Ye continued to serve and acted like an old man.What old man's warship that has been in service for more than 30 years is still emitting black smoke.What army launched a deadly charge with old tanks
As for them, it is not easy for CNSA to increase some funds. Over the years, CNSA's funds have continued to increase, which has caused dissatisfaction from relevant departments.

The family has a big business, but the landlord’s family has no surplus food.

Many people can't help but look at Qin Yuanqing, hoping that this great god-level figure can do his best. Anyway, even the "Golden Crow Project" and the "Shuanghuan Space Station" have been completed, involving a cost of several trillion yuan. Not a piece of cake.

It's just that Qin Yuanqing already knew it in his heart, and he looked like he was thinking about it, as if he didn't even see their bitterness.

To be honest, when talking about funding, Qin Yuanqing already knew the purpose of CNSA inviting him to participate in this meeting. Although Qin Yuanqing believed that the money that should be used for technical engineering could not be saved, he was unwilling to be used as a weapon. What do you think? If you want to build the 'Moon Palace' space station, you have to fight for funds by yourself, and you have to rely on yourself for everything, so what value do you people have.

And to be honest, Qin Yuanqing believes that the value of the 'Yuegong' space station is far inferior to that of the 'Tiangong' space station.

Not to mention that after the completion of the first phase of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station', the 'Moon Palace' space station is equivalent to being abolished.It is said that after the aerospace plane officially enters service, the manned moon landing will no longer use a spacecraft like the "Chang'e" spacecraft, but an aerospace plane. Under such circumstances, the safety and speed will be greatly increased. Go to The moon will be much easier, so the value of the "Luna Palace" space station will be greatly reduced.

However, Qin Yuanqing didn't explain much. After all, he was the only one who mastered many aerospace technologies and missions. Moreover, it was not a matter of technology or not. It also involved many very complicated games, and Qin Yuanqing was not willing to get involved.

Seeing Qin Yuanqing like this, some people in CNSA couldn't help but feel quite regretful, and they didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Qin Yuanqing's status is extraordinary. But in fact, the power is far inferior to that of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' headquarters. In a sense, CNSA is under the jurisdiction of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' headquarters.

As soon as the document from the headquarters of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' was sent to CNSA, CNSA had to cooperate unconditionally and implement it unconditionally.

This includes the aerospace technology verification arranged by the "Shuanghuan Space Station" command to CNSA, as well as personnel deployment.

After all, even the head of CNSA is only the deputy commander-in-chief of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station', not even the executive deputy commander-in-chief.

After participating in this meeting, Qin Yuanqing went to the space center. The next launch mission of the "Chang'e" spacecraft has been arranged and will be held in December 2027. During this process, the "Chang'e" spacecraft will be built, the construction of the rocket, And the training and selection of the astronauts of the 'Chang'e II' spacecraft.

Compared with the first "Chang'e-3" spacecraft, the "Chang'e-[-]" spacecraft will have more and more arduous tasks. In addition to building the second lunar surface scientific research station, the astronauts also need to bring back the mining resources. Helium [-], and the construction of the corresponding communication base station, once the construction of this communication base station is completed, will lay a solid foundation for China's long-term scientific research activities on the moon.

At the same time, the "Chang'e [-]" spacecraft will initially use anti-gravity devices for manned landing on the moon. The anti-gravity devices will be applied to the spacecraft and the scientific research stations on the surface of the moon.

It can be said that compared with the "Chang'e-[-]" spacecraft manned to the moon, the "Chang'e-[-]" spacecraft will have a qualitative leap, and the astronauts are expected to stay on the surface of the moon for one and a half months.

There is no doubt that although NASA has always insisted that it is still the leader in the aerospace field, in fact, CNSA is the leader in the aerospace field.Huaxia Aerospace Technology is still developing at a high speed.

And once the manned moon landing mission of the "Chang'e II" spacecraft is completed and the corresponding technology is certified, the first aerospace plane will be officially completed soon and will enter the first flight process. Tests, including various test flights, provide the basis for mass production of aerospace aircraft.

In Qin Yuanqing's view, this is the real business. As for the lunar orbital space station, it is a bit of a nonsense. He can participate in technical discussions, but he doesn't want to be used as a gun to apply for funding.

But obviously some people still don't give up, and started to test the public opinion. Aerospace experts continue to appear on TV programs to publicize the necessity of the construction of the "Moon Palace" space station, and how much effect it will play.

The result is that it has attracted a lot of attention internationally. Everyone thinks that Huaxia is going to get serious, continue to increase investment in the aerospace field, and completely occupy the blue ocean of space, so as to win the competition for the future.

As a result, NASA, which just started to rejoice because the "Pathfinder" probe returned to the surface of the earth, suddenly felt unsatisfactory. Nima, I have finally completed a probe launch. You will build a lunar orbital space station. Once Let you build a lunar orbital space station. After that, it will not be easy to carry out manned moon landing or lunar exploration. After all, the commanding heights are controlled by others.

And this kind of being in space, trying to get your neck stuck makes you unable to do anything if you want to be angry, because people have too many reasons, and these reasons make you invulnerable.
