Chapter 642 Moon Production Base
"Academician Qin, is the 'Tiangong' space station really going to be decommissioned in 2032? No longer will the service be extended!?" Yang Liwei couldn't help asking.

The 'Tiangong' space station is the first space station built in China, and they participated in the whole process. Astronauts such as Yang Liwei have very deep feelings for the 'Tiangong' space station.

"Well, the time has been determined, it is set on December 2032, 12, when the 'Tiangong' space station will crash into the Pacific Ocean." Qin Yuanqing nodded and said, this point was reached in an aerospace meeting some time ago.

In that document, not only the detailed time of the decommissioning of the "Tiangong" space station and the specific location of the crash were determined in detail, but also some parts of the "Tiangong" space station will be preserved as museum historical relics to continue to inspire the public, And this incentive will go far beyond the 'Tiangong' space station itself.

To be honest, Qin Yuanqing is completely acceptable for the decommissioning of the "Tiangong" space station, because the technology of the "Tiangong" space station is the technology of more than ten or twenty years ago. With the improvement of azimuth, the technology of the 'Tiangong' space station has been outdated, outdated, and it is time to eliminate it, even though it is the only space station in the world currently in orbit.

And according to the plan, by that time, the scale of the completed part of the "Shuanghuan Space Station" will exceed the current "Tiangong" space station. There is no doubt that at that time, the astronauts will also go to the "Shuanghuan Space Station" instead of the "Shuanghuan Space Station" Tiangong' space station.

"Deputy Commander Yang, the decommissioning of the 'Tiangong' space station is a foregone conclusion. In fact, no matter how much it is repaired, it cannot last for many years." Qin Yuanqing seemed to know Yang Liwei's reluctance for the 'Tiangong' space station, and said with a smile: "One generation is stronger than the next generation, which is a gratifying situation for the vigorous development of spaceflight. This is true for astronauts, and so is the space station!"

Yang Liwei sighed.

The "Tiangong" space station cost more than 500 billion yuan. It was built by China Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. at that time by saving money and overcoming many difficulties. Although it is not as good as the "International Space Station", it still has its leading place.

And most importantly, this is Huaxia's first space station, which is a milestone. Once upon a time, Huaxia wanted to sell tickets with money, but was rejected without hesitation. Since then, Huaxia has been steadfast. Move to an independent path, conduct manned spaceflight, global satellite navigation system, space station, and lunar exploration project by yourself.

As for the 'Tiangong' space station, a milestone exists, its completion represents that China has truly blazed its own path in aerospace, and it is a correct path, which is a kind of elation.

And now, unknowingly, the "Tiangong" space station has entered the countdown to retirement, and this time point is exactly the same as Yang Liwei's official retirement time, which seems to make Yang Liwei always think of it as if it is destined.

"How does this space environment simulation cabin work?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

Only now did Yang Liwei smile, and said: "It's exactly the same as the space environment, and the weightlessness is exactly the same. Everyone trains in it. When they go to space, they will know how helpful this training cabin is to them."

"When the 'double-ring space station' is built, the astronauts will not have to return to the ground in such a short time. It is normal to work long hours for one or two years. The facilities on it are very comprehensive, and the living quarters are parallel to the ground. There is no difference, astronauts can exercise on it." Qin Yuanqing said.

The gravity of the living area of ​​the 'Double Ring Space Station' mainly comes from two parts. The most important thing is the centripetal force generated by the movement of the ring around the middle. One is the anti-gravity device. The anti-gravity device can provide both anti-gravity and gravity naturally.

After staying in the astronaut training center for one morning, I returned home. At this time, the weather in July was quite hot, and the temperature in Beijing was as high as 7~33°C. However, under such high temperature weather, I could hear the horns sound and zipper sound.

This is the training of the parade troops that will participate in the military parade ceremony. This kind of training is very hard. After three or four months of training, the clothes of the soldiers are worn out, the shoes are kicked, and calluses grow on the hands. Everyone has to lose 10 pounds.

But no one complains of suffering or tiredness. Every soldier in the military parade consciously regards it as the most meaningful thing in his life, working harder than usual.

This time the National Day has attracted much attention, not only because it is another opportunity to show China's new style, but also this time, the main force of the military parade is the post-10s, and many post-10s young soldiers will represent the post-10s group and accept the review of the people , officially took over the responsibility of defending the country from the predecessors.

As the time of National Day gets closer, this kind of National Day festive atmosphere becomes more and more intense, so strong that you can feel it even when you close your eyes.

One celebration every five years, one celebration every ten years!

During this period of time, many people go out with their parents, grandparents, and travel to the capital, to the Forbidden City Museum, to the Summer Palace, to the former site of the Old Summer Palace, to the Temple of Heaven, and to see the Great Wall.
Through the window of the car, Qin Yuanqing felt the prosperity of this era. When the prosperous age is coming, it is not an exaggeration to say that the door is not closed at night, and the road is not picked up. It is not an exaggeration. Stepping into the fourth industrial revolution, social productivity has been further improved, and the material is very sufficient. Although it can't be said that the fourth industrial revolution has been completed, no matter what, China's national strength has greatly increased, its strength has greatly increased, and its economy, culture, politics, science and technology, and national defense have greatly improved.

And all this is not over yet, Huaxia is still in the rising stage, and the speed of this rising stage is quite fast, the annual GDP growth rate still maintains a high-speed growth, and this rapid growth can still be maintained for at least 10 or even 20 years Year.

"The lunar production base can also be put on the agenda!" Qin Yuanqing looked at the busy traffic outside the window, looked at the red flags and Chinese knots hanging on the books, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

The content of the last test flight of the "Shenlong" aerospace plane this time is nothing else, it is the third manned moon landing. This manned moon landing is not only the establishment of China's third scientific research station on the moon, but also Three 3-kilometer primary runways will be built on the moon to prepare for the next manned moon landing.

Unlike previous manned moon landings, the third manned moon landing will stay directly on the surface of the moon for as long as half a year.

With the completion of this manned moon landing, it will also indicate that Chinese astronauts will be stationed at the scientific research station for a long time to carry out various scientific research work.At the same time, it also means that the lunar production base will be officially put on the agenda, and some accessories of the "Double Ring Space Station" will be directly completed in the lunar production base, using the low gravity of the moon to manufacture high-performance materials.

Back home, Qin Yuanqing entered the study, took out a notebook, picked up a pen and wrote on it, which was Qin Yuanqing's layout of the production base on the moon, including mining farms, steel plants, aluminum plants, rare earth refineries, helium 3 refineries, etc., a total of 36 factories, dotted around the three scientific research stations.

The moon is 38 kilometers away from the earth. It is unrealistic to immigrate to the moon on a large scale in a short period of time. Therefore, most of them use robots and automated production, with a small number of engineers. Otherwise, there will be too many people, and oxygen, water, etc. question.

But if robots and automated production are used, then 33 factories and only two to three hundred engineers are enough. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the supply of materials from the earth and reduce the cost of production.

A breakthrough has been achieved in the miniaturization of the 'Golden Crow Device', and there is no shortage of helium-3 on the moon, which means that the 'Golden Crow Device' can continuously generate electricity to supply the needs of the production base.

Qin Yuanqing pondered for a while. This lunar production base is undoubtedly very important. Naturally, some defensive weapons always need to be deployed to protect the safety of the lunar production base. In this regard, defensive weapons such as laser cannons and particle cannons are needed. Installed, the energy shield is naturally also needed.

"Perhaps ten or twenty years later, this lunar production base will evolve into a lunar base city. It's not impossible." Qin Yuanqing said in a low voice.

It is an inevitable trend for the development of the lunar production base to become a lunar base city. Whether it is to open up fertile land, plantations, or develop tourism on the moon in the future, the lunar production base will gradually develop into a lunar base city.

And it will also be a hub, a hub to the universe and starry sky, starting from the moon to Mars, Venus, Mercury and other planets will be much more convenient than starting from the earth.

Of course, more importantly, the moon has enough resources, such as oxygen. In fact, the lunar soil contains 40% oxygen, which is enough to extract oxygen from the soil for astronauts and engineers, and can also be used as synthetic water.In addition, the lunar soil contains 14% aluminum and 4% iron, which can be easily mined.There is also lunar natural glass, which can be made into high-strength structural composite materials after physical treatment.

This is also true. When formulating the strategy, Qin Yuanqing advocated the development of the moon and carried out manned landing on the moon.Instead of developing Mars, as many people are keen on, and carrying out manned landing on Mars.

Of course, there is also Qin Yuanqing who believes that the moon is another commanding height. As long as the commanding height of the moon is occupied and fully utilized, then anyone who wants to go from the earth to Mars must obtain the approval of CNSA, otherwise it can be easily intercepted.

To use a vivid metaphor, from the earth to Mars and other planets are highways, then the moon is a toll booth, as long as it occupies this place, then let any car pass if you want to pass, and you have to call the high-speed toll.If you don't want to let any car pass by, then don't let any car pass by. You can't force your way through if you want to.

Because you forced your way, you will be deducted points, and your driver's license will be revoked directly. If you want to get a driver's license again, you have to pass the re-examination to get the license.
