Chapter 459 Isn’t This a Space Carrier?

lightning rod?
Not so much.

Dong Chen suddenly felt a dull pain in his head, touched his bald head and said, "I think it's okay, it's not a lightning rod, if I insist on a metaphor, it's at most an escape tower, but whether it's a lightning rod or an escape Towers are very important."

"Whether your analogy is important or not, but we are a space station and nothing else, the contrast is a bit too big, it's too ugly to just stand in front like this." Sun Hao said helplessly.

"It's better not to merge and dock. It's also fortunate that the information we sent was only our own model and plan, and we didn't directly put the basic version of Tiangong space station in front."

"It's okay," Dong Chen returned the flat-panel monitor in his hand to Sun Hao, "If it really feels inappropriate, the higher-ups will definitely bring it up with us."

"...Well, anyway, it's your company, and you've always been in contact with it, you have the final say."

Sun Hao didn't care, since Dong Chen had taken care of the above, then he just had to do what he had to do well.

While the Arclight Group was making full preparations and the melon-eaters were carnivaling and watching, various state agencies and aerospace companies could no longer sit still.

This is not a future plan made by a certain country or a certain company in the past. It is a real plan to be carried out, and the time is in the near future.

And this space station is too big, the main axis is about 1000 meters long, the largest activity space is about 200 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 60 meters high. It is a roughly cubic shape.

It is divided into many functional cabins, among which the largest single space is more than 200 square meters, which is the reception hall of the space station.

There are more than a dozen such activity spaces, large and small juxtaposed to form a 1000-meter-long main axis, and the partitions in their cabins have their own functions.

In the middle of the main axis of the space station and near the rear third, there is a huge circular rotating cabin. Their maximum diameter reaches 500 meters, and within this diameter range are connected several circles with different diameters. rotating cabin.

In this way, different cabins obtain different simulated gravity, from 0 gravity to close to 1G simulated gravity, which are used for different purposes, such as maintenance, accommodation, supply, sightseeing and so on.

The sum of these things is quite large, and its tonnage is also worthy of its size, with a full empty weight of 5700 tons. This is because a lot of light new materials are used, otherwise it can be heavier.

This kind of tonnage was absolutely unimaginable before they thought about it. Now the largest man-made object in space, that is, the International Space Station, is only more than 400 tons.

The tonnage of 5700 is close to the total weight that humans have launched into space for decades, but the Arc Light Group actually intends to complete it within a few years.

But they still have this kind of strength. A "Diao" class aerospace transport plane can transport 100 tons of cargo at a time, and now Arclight Aerospace has two.

One is officially finalized, and the other is the "experimental" model that has been said.

That is to say, they can transport 200 tons of materials at one time, and the 5700 tons can be completed in less than 30 times. Their current transportation tools only need to be refueled and slightly overhauled before they can be used again. Ideally, one month The materials inside can be shipped out.

I think back then they sent something to the sky... Sigh, the past is unbearable.

So, they don't want the Arc Light Group to succeed in this kind of thing, especially these foreign countries. No matter how they see this plan, it has a close relationship with country S.

This advanced version of the space station is too big, enough to do a lot of things on it, so it is different from the scientific grandeur seen by the melon-eaters and scientists.

What the military of various countries see is not a space station, but a dangerous space fortress.

And Country S is also holding a meeting now to deal with this...different situation. After all, the things that scientists and the military have to consider are indeed different.

"...their aerospace plane technology is indeed very good, and their life support technology is also outstanding. At least I didn't feel any discomfort during the last flight."

"Even when passing through the atmosphere, it is much more stable than our manned spacecraft. The comfort and vibration feel to me are only slightly worse than those of military transport aircraft."

"That's all for my report, the report is over."

After Wang Ping finished her report, she looked at the man in military uniform who asked her to speak just now, and waited for the next question.

After listening to her report, the participants at the meeting table were all discussing, and the leader who presided over the meeting gave them a few minutes to discuss, and when the time was up, he asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask? "

Hearing the chief's words, the discussion below stopped, and a soldier in the uniform of an air force major general asked, "Colonel Wang Ping, based on your observation of their "Eagle" class space transport aircraft, can it be used?" Convert it into a combat aircraft at any time? Is it a big threat to us?"

"...Yes, it can be modified at any time, but I don't know the technological level of their weapons and equipment, so I'm not sure, but I think our interception system should be no problem to intercept their attacks. "Wang Ping said with a little hesitation.

"And what about the attack threat our existing equipment poses to them?"

"...Judging from our current technological level, since it can break through the atmosphere and enter outer space at any time, only the laser weapons currently being tested may cause damage to them." Wang Ping continued to report.

After asking those questions about the aerospace transport aircraft, they discussed the new Tiangong space station. If the aerospace transport aircraft is a major threat, then this huge space station is a space carrier full of major threats.

It revolves around the earth nearly 16 times a day, and is so huge that it can park 6 "Eagle"-class aerospace transport planes at the same time at most, or 20 "Falcon"-class aerospace planes.

There is a satellite maintenance workshop on it, so it is not a big problem to maintain the aircraft, and there are several huge fuel storage tanks, which can refuel the aircraft at any time.

This is a standard space carrier, and considering their technological oppression, this is a big threat.

And it is true for every country on earth.

The most important thing is that this giant space station and these planes belong to a private company and are the private property of this company. They belong to the chairman named Dong Chen, and theoretically they do not belong to any country.

Listening to the discussions of these soldiers, Wang Ping feels that soldiers and scientists have very different perspectives and ways of thinking about problems.

Although she is now a military officer, and was called for mission reporting and situation analysis because of the last mission, she is essentially an astronaut, and the position of astronauts at this stage is to be a scientist one by one. , and is multitasking.

After humans go to space, they will be able to think about it, not to say that they are not patriotic, but they will really think about problems as the space pioneers of the earth.

This is a question that people of different identities consider differently.

Fortunately, the position of country S is relatively reliable. Now country S and Dong Chen are in the honeymoon period of friendly cooperation. Although there are analysis and precautions, these are all normal procedures, and everything must be done for the sake of the country. of.

It's just that they don't really do any offensive actions, and they still focus on stable cooperation.

Just like the honeymoon period in country s and other countries, they really gave what they wanted, as long as they paid for the goods, but there was still a lot of hidden precautions, and the final result proved that the precautions were really right.

The current country S and Dong Chen are the same. Country S hopes that this honeymoon period can be as long as possible, and it's okay to even pay a little, because the benefits are really great.

It's just that other countries don't think so, and they don't get any benefits at all.
