Chapter 609 Life System of 'Double Ring Space Station'
I got on the car and experienced it myself. Although it is not comfortable, it is a good vehicle for the space station. It only takes 10 minutes to go around the big ring in it, which can greatly improve the space station astronauts efficiency.

Qin Yuanqing still gave a very high evaluation. This kind of brand new thing needs to be improved step by step when it is applied in the future. Just like the original car, the aesthetics, comfort, and performance were not very good at the beginning. In the process of continuous improvement, there are sedans, sports cars, and off-road vehicles that are quite good in all aspects.

After checking the future experiment schedule of the space vehicle, Qin Yuanqing went to Harbin Institute of Technology, because Harbin Institute of Technology also undertakes a major scientific research project of the "Double Ring Space Station", which is the space environment simulation, which is led by Harbin Institute of Technology. Collaboration with several universities.

For a space station as large as the 'Double Ring Space Station', there must be a large number of astronauts, thousands of them, and ensuring the living needs of the astronauts has become a very important task.

And the life system in this aspect is different from the lunar scientific research station, because the area of ​​the lunar scientific research station is not large, and there are not many astronauts who need to be guaranteed.But the life system of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is different, and its requirements are much higher.

A large part of it requires the 'Double Ring Space Station' to be self-sufficient through the life system, otherwise the 'Double Ring Space Station' has to be resupplied every day, and there is no doubt that the cost will be very high.

"Academician Qin, the life system we have developed can achieve 1000% recycling of 40 people." When I arrived at Harbin Institute of Technology, I came to a laboratory that is not open to the public. Here is a life system that simulates the space environment.

Qin Yuanqing frowned slightly when he heard 40% recycling, because this ratio is not high, and the life system on the surface of the moon has even achieved 70% recycling.

However, he also knows that although the principles of the two are the same, the complexity is different, because the volume is generally large, and the various factors faced are complicated.

"You have to continue to work hard to further increase recycling by one percentage point, and the operating funds saved in the future will be billions." Qin Yuanqing said.

Qin Yuanqing is now considering not only the construction of the 'Double Ring Space Station', but also the future operating costs of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station'. The operating costs are too high, so Huaxia will not be able to bear it no matter how big it is.

It seems that the construction cost of the "Double Ring Space Station" project is [-] trillion yuan, but considering the previous research and development and breakthroughs in related technologies, the funds driven are not only [-] trillion yuan, but it is almost doubled.

Now China's booming aerospace boom is behind the burning of a lot of money, but ordinary people can't see it.

And this is because China has stepped into the fourth industrial revolution, social productivity has been greatly improved, and productivity has been further liberated and developed.Otherwise, Huaxia would not be able to afford such a super-high century project.

Compared with the 'Double Ring Space Station', the Three Gorges Project is not worth mentioning.

"Well, we will work harder to improve the life system as much as possible." Yan Bo, the director of the laboratory, said in a deep voice.

He naturally knows that every percentage point increase in the life system will bring considerable economic benefits, but at this point, in fact, every percentage point increase in the recycling rate, the technical difficulties faced are geometrically multiples Increased.

Living in the hotel of Harbin Institute of Technology, Qin Yuanqing looked thoughtful. The life system is a very important part of the "Shuanghuan Space Station", which determines the operating cost of the entire "Shuanghuan Space Station". It becomes easier for the aircraft to travel to and from space and the ground, but the cost is still very high, and how to reduce the operating cost of the 'Double Ring Space Station', the life system is an important part.

The carbon dioxide exhaled by the astronauts can be perfectly absorbed by the plants, carry out photosynthesis and release oxygen, human excrement can be fully decomposed, the water will participate in the photosynthesis after being irrigated by the vegetation, and the rest will be further purified as the drinking water for the astronauts, and the plants will form Fruits and the like can also supplement the nutritional needs of astronauts.

How to continuously improve the recycling rate of the life system is an important issue. In Qin Yuanqing's vision, the ultimate goal of the life system is to realize the basic self-sufficiency of the astronauts' living materials. Only a few living materials such as meat and seafood come from the earth. be supplemented so that the entire operating cost can be reduced to a minimum.

And there is no doubt that the current research on living systems is still far from his vision.

It's a pity that China's life system is already at the forefront of the world, far surpassing the field of life system research in the United States. If you want to learn from it, you can't learn from it. You can only rely on your own groping and walking in the dark to be more tested Courage and wisdom.

Qin Yuanqing stayed in Harbin Institute of Technology for another two days to fully understand the progress of the research and development task of the "Double Ring Space Station" that Harbin Institute of Technology participated in.

Then he left and became a trapeze.

Indian Space Research Organization, a meeting is going on.

"The meeting is officially starting now. You should all know the news from the Russian Space Agency. Do you want to increase the funding?" G. Madhavan Nair, the head of the Indian Space Research Organization, looked around at the people in the meeting room, Shen Said: "Today we must reach a unified opinion, so that I can report to my superiors and obtain funds."

"This is robbery! We have already invested 400 billion U.S. dollars. The agreement is good, cooperative research and development, and sharing of results. But they successfully developed the 'Angara' super heavy rocket. We asked them for technology, and they told us The 'Angara' super-heavy rocket has not been successfully developed, and now they are manufacturing the 'Polar Bear' super-heavy rocket, we all know this!" Alam stood up and said angrily.

"But we don't have any definite evidence. Maybe they are also developing a super-heavy rocket called Polar Bear while they are cooperating with us to develop the 'Angara' super-heavy rocket?" Sanjay turned his chair, not in a hurry He said slowly: "And the Russian Space Agency said that if we need the 'Polar Bear' super-heavy rocket, they can sell it to us. One rocket only costs 30 billion U.S. dollars, and we pay for the freight ourselves!"

"But at the last meeting, everyone felt that we wouldn't need this big guy if we bought it back. If we don't buy it, it's no wonder that the Russian Space Agency is not." Sanjay said: "Look at the whole world now, Besides Roscosmos, which other country's space agency is willing to sell us a super-heavy launch vehicle?"

"Next year Roscosmos will carry out manned spaceflight. For $20 billion, we can put our astronauts into space. This will be our first astronaut in space in the 21st century. And our Rakesh Sharma It was 44 years ago that I flew into the sky with Soviet astronauts Yu Malyshev and G Strelkalov on the Soyuz T-ll spacecraft." Sanjay said: "If we can give 500 billion US dollars, 2030 Russia manned the moon landing in [-], and we can also send an astronaut to the moon with a Russian Space Agency spacecraft, which will be of great benefit to the aerospace development of our Indian Space Research Organization!"

"Don't we have to spend 900 billion US dollars? With so much money, we can send our astronauts to the moon!" Froz frowned and said: "The last manned moon landing in the United States, That's $500 billion in spending!"

"In fact, this statement is not true. You must know that NASA's aerospace technology in the United States is quite advanced. They have technical reserves, so they only need 500 billion U.S. dollars. However, our Indian Space Research Organization started late and has a weak foundation. Without manned spaceflight technology, even if we spend 1000 billion US dollars, we may not be able to send people to the moon!" *** shrugged and said: "And more importantly, we need at least 30 years to do it. Is the most precious, we do not have so much precious time."

G. Madhavan Nair looked at the quarreling crowd and felt his head ached and felt very helpless. Although the Indian Space Research Organization is known as the fifth largest aerospace organization in the world and has a lot of funds every year, his family knows that Household affairs, even the developed space suits, have proven to be unqualified. It will take at least 30 years of development to truly realize the manned moon landing.

But now, because of Bollywood movies related to aerospace in recent years, such as defending the moon, seizing Mars, and even defending the earth against alien invasion, the Indian Space Research Organization is under great pressure.

"Well, everyone votes, and the minority obeys the majority!" G. Madavan Nair saw that there was no way to continue the quarrel at the meeting, so he decided to use voting.

The results of the voting were very strange. Those in favor of increasing funding and cooperation with the Russian Space Agency got as high as 80% of the votes. Although it seemed that the competition was fierce, this body was very honest.

Three days later, ISRO held a press conference, announcing additional funds to cooperate with Roscosmos. Next year ISRO astronauts will go into space, and the year after that their astronauts will join Roscosmos astronauts. , and set foot on the surface of the moon hand in hand, leaving footprints belonging to the Indian Space Research Organization on the moon.

As soon as the news came out, it became a major news in the world. Everyone was not surprised by the cooperation between ISRO and the Russian Space Agency. After all, the establishment of ISRO itself was closely related to the Soviet Space Agency. The two belonged to a father-son relationship. In addition, the Indian Space Research Organization itself has already cooperated with the Russian Space Agency in the development of super-heavy rockets. For this reason, the Indian Space Research Organization has invested 400 billion U.S. dollars.

Everyone is just concerned about how much the Indian Space Research Organization has paid this time to allow its spaceflight to enter space and land on the surface of the moon.
