Siheyuan: The soul travels through time and space to change fate

"More work? What else can we do besides working together to develop space resources?"

Several leaders present at the meeting did not quite understand what Xu Damao said about taking on more work.

“Currently, except for us, or more accurately, except for me, all satellites launched by other organizations have no recovery capability.

There are not many satellites in space now, so it’s not a big problem.

But what if the number of satellites in space reaches hundreds of thousands or even millions in the future?

But there will be a lot of space junk.

After all, the service life of many satellites is only a few years.

Then some aging satellites are likely to disintegrate directly in space, and then form more space junk.

How these things should be handled is up to this organization to accomplish.”

When he said this, Xu Damao's mouth curled up and revealed a smile.

"And at that point, as the founders and managers of the organization, we will have the final say on how to define space junk.

We recognize that the things launched into space by countries, organizations, or individuals that have not joined are satellites.

If we don’t acknowledge it, then it’s space junk that needs to be cleaned up regularly.”

For Xu Damao, no matter what kind of weapon targeting satellites, it would be more convenient for him to take action personally.

As long as it is defined as garbage, it can be taken away directly.

If you don’t want the satellites you launch to be defined as space junk, then you should join this organization and pay membership fees every year.

Otherwise, don’t blame the organization’s management for taking action.

"Okay, that's what we should do!

And we do this for the sake of the space environment. As space cleaners, it is reasonable to receive some hard work fees every year.

Ten thousand dollars a year for a satellite should not be too expensive, right?

Hahaha......"

After asking this question, Leader Li also felt that it was not a question of whether it was expensive or not, but a question of deterrence.

While many countries are still unable to launch satellites on their own, we are already able to recover satellites.

A republic with such technology will become the overlord of space in the future.

If anyone has any objections, then don't even think about reaching your hand into space.

"Uh, isn't this a bit too overbearing?"

Leader Zhong has a relatively high moral bottom line and always thinks that doing so is not appropriate.

“No, we don’t force all countries to join, whoever wants to come can come.

Besides, we are just fulfilling our duty of cleaning outer space, how can we be overbearing?"

Leader Liu didn't feel overbearing. As the leader of extraterrestrial exploration, it is their responsibility to ensure a clean and orderly outer space environment for future generations!

"Old Zhong, don't think too much.

And the ones we can target this time are the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear.

In the future, we may have to add John Bull, Gallic Rooster, Hans the Cat and a few other countries.

Do you really think that all countries in the world are qualified to have their own satellites?

I don't think it's okay to be a little overbearing with these people.

After all, our century-long history of humiliation was caused by these people or their predecessors.

What's wrong with being a little overbearing to them?"

Leader Bi also agreed very much with Xu Damao's opinion. As for the technology of recovering satellites, needless to say, it would definitely involve seeking help from ghosts and gods.

"We are only responsible for recycling, and after recycling, we can return it to the owner!

Well, but at that time, a certain recycling fee will be charged.

In this way, it shouldn't be so overbearing, right? "

Xu Damao came up with another bad idea, and everyone present couldn't help but grin.

Taking back the satellite that someone had sent up with great difficulty, and asking them to spend money to buy it back, is indeed not overbearing. It's like beating someone up and then asking for benefits from them!

"Ahem, let's talk about this later. We'll do this when the need arises.

Regarding our leading role in establishing a space cooperation organization, we can discuss it at the meeting.

Damao, tell me about your itinerary.

You won't stay on the Great Western Front for too long, right?"

The space station project and the Starlink project still need Xu Damao to preside over them.

Although the Starlink project is not in a hurry, the space station project is in a hurry.

After all, several big dog owners have already paid, and even astronauts have been sent to the Republic for training.

It would be hard to explain if there was no movement.

"This time I'm just going to check on the progress of the Great Western Front and see if there's anything that needs to be modified. I'll probably be back in seven or eight days.

After that, I will start the construction of the space station.

I have sorted out the relevant material forms and will submit them to several leaders later. "

If you want to build a super-large space station, the materials required are quite huge.

There is no way to hold Red Star Factory responsible for this matter.

Therefore, after Xu Damao has met the demand for materials, he plans to ask the Ministry of Industry and the military to assist in the manufacturing of the space station.

"Okay, okay, we will do our best to cooperate with you to complete the construction of this space station.

You don't have to worry about the funding. We have already received 300 million US dollars for the expenses of the commissioned astronauts and their participation in outer space experiments.

As long as the cost of your space station is no more than 200 million US dollars, we will provide you with whatever you want."

Under current technical conditions, it is absolutely very economical to complete the construction of the space station with only two hundred million US dollars.

If this happened in another country, even with 2 billion, let alone 200 million, it would probably be impossible to complete such a task.

"If I had two hundred million dollars, I could build my space station a little bigger. It's a module structure anyway, so it won't be difficult to expand it.

How about we build a space station that can carry a thousand people and work in orbit at the same time?"

If Xu Damao had known that there was so much funding, he would not have designed a space station that could only accommodate a few hundred people.

"Ah, this, there's no need to make such a big deal, right? If you can't spend it, we can spend the money somewhere else!"

Leader Zhong believes that there is no need for such a large space station for the time being, and it is better to take it step by step.

"That's right. If that's the case, then I'll design an Antarctic research vessel!"

Both National Geographic and Animal World will definitely go to Antarctica for filming, so it is very necessary to design an Antarctic research vessel.
