Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 478 Next Generation Space Station (1)

Just like the previous one, this Olympics has been postponed to the summer of 2021, becoming the first time in history that the Summer Olympics have been postponed.

Originally, everyone was speculating whether this Olympics would be suspended directly like the 1916, 1940, and 1944 events. After all, these three Olympics were canceled due to world wars and the Olympics could not be held.

This year, although it is not a world war, it is actually a different kind of world war. The casualties are also very large, everyone is panicking, and it is equivalent to a severe challenge for every country.

Whether it is a challenge to a country's organizational form, a challenge to the country's comprehensive national strength, or a challenge to the world's supply chain, we are facing severe challenges in all aspects, which are no different from facing a world war. .

However, this time the Olympic Games did not decide to suspend the event, but postponed it to the summer of 2021. This also made this Olympic Games the first time in the history of the Olympic Games to be postponed, and it can be regarded as setting a historical record before it was held.

Qin Yuanqing was not surprised. After all, with the challenges facing the world today and Japan's own situation, holding the Olympics is indeed very difficult and the risks are very high. It is also difficult for Japan to accept the suspension of the Olympics, so it postponed the Olympics. It has become a measure acceptable to all parties.

On June 7, Qin Yuanqing went to Bingcheng, because this day happened to be the centenary of the founding of Harbin Institute of Technology. As a 985 and 211 double first-class university, and now a member of the Twenty-Two School Alliance, the centenary celebration of Harbin Institute of Technology is naturally no small matter. Qin Yuanqing As the head of Shuimu, coupled with his long-term cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology, he had to come to Bingcheng to participate in the centenary celebration of Harbin Institute of Technology no matter what.

Of course, due to the special period, the centenary celebration of Harbin Institute of Technology was not as grand as the centenary celebrations of Shuimu, Yanda, Fudan, and Zhejiang University, and everyone who attended the celebration consciously wore a mask.

Qin Yuanqing has a good impression of Harbin Institute of Technology because many outstanding students have come out of this university and have emerged in China's construction boom. Its famous alumni include Mr. Sun, Mr. Ma, Mr. Yang, etc.

As of now, Harbin Institute of Technology has three campuses: Bingcheng, Bincheng, and Pengcheng. The main campus covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 acres, with a construction area of ​​more than 2 million square meters. It has 22 colleges, offers 89 undergraduate majors, and more than 100 full-time teachers. There are 3,000 people, and nearly 50,000 students are enrolled in the school.

At Harbin Institute of Technology, the most famous one is aerospace technology, ranking among the top three in the country. In addition, there are many strong trump majors, such as mechanical engineering, control science and engineering, computer science and technology, welding technology and engineering, etc. In the latest rankings, Harbin Institute of Technology has been ranked among the top ten in the national university rankings for two consecutive years.

Of course, another interesting thing about Harbin Institute of Technology is that people often confuse it with Harbin Institute of Technology because the names are too similar. As a result, every year, people with good college entrance examination scores fill in their applications as Harbin Institute of Technology.

This time, the centenary celebration of Harbin Institute of Technology was held grandly in the square of the main building. However, due to special reasons, Harbin Institute of Technology adopted an online celebration. Teachers, students and employees from the three districts of the first school, alumni at home and abroad, and people from all walks of life who care about the development of Harbin Institute of Technology gathered in the "cloud" to celebrate together. A grand event to witness the 100-year glory of Harbin Institute of Technology.

This centenary meeting of the founding of the school was broadcast simultaneously through Renren Daily client, Xueqiangguo platform, CCTV, Zaker client, the school’s official B station and official Douyin. Not many people attended the meeting, but every They are all heavyweights.

In order to pay tribute to the "Eight Hundred Heroes" of the older generation and carry forward the spirit of "Eight Hundred Heroes" of Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology decided to commend 3,926 outstanding faculty and staff who have been employed for more than 30 years and award 1,482 people who have been employed for more than 50 years "a century of hard work and meritorious service". The "Juan Yong" Award is awarded to 2,444 people who have been employed for more than 30 years.

It can be said that the commendation this time is mainly a spiritual commendation. After all, even if it joins the Twenty-Two Schools Alliance and receives an additional 1 billion donations every year, Harbin Institute of Technology still does not have sufficient funds to run the school. Just look at the number of faculty and staff. Clear.

However, this is more of an honorary recognition to commend the faculty and staff for their years of silent dedication and adhering to the school motto of “strict standards, perfect work”.

Qin Yuanqing came to participate in the 100th anniversary of Harbin Institute of Technology this time, and also gave a gift of his own. His gift was not expensive. It was the eight-character school motto of "Strict Standards, Perfect Kung Fu" written by himself and presented to Harbin Institute of Technology. It is hoped that Harbin Institute of Technology can continue to adhere to its original mission of educating talents for the country, cultivate more outstanding talents, create more important weapons for a great country, and follow the new Long March path of Harbin Institute of Technology in the new century.

In addition to participating in the 100th anniversary of Harbin Institute of Technology, Qin Yuanqing also had another purpose this time, which was to participate in a seminar on the new generation of space stations. This seminar was of high standard and highly confidential, and gathered elites in the Chinese aerospace field.

Similar to the principle of other equipment, China's aerospace engineering also has a service generation, a research and development generation, and a pre-research generation. Now that this generation of space stations has been put into service, the research and development of the next generation must be prepared, so that after this generation of space stations completes its mission, a more advanced space station that can meet China's future aerospace needs will emerge.

After all, the space station that has been built has a service life of only 10 years!

After 10 years, it is basically certain that this space station will be decommissioned, because this space station is relatively small and can only accommodate three astronauts stationed for a long time. This will undoubtedly not be able to meet the needs ten years from now.

Although Qin Yuanqing did not preside over the aerospace project, as a scientific giant in China today, Qin Yuanqing still has a very important say. After all, from a theoretical perspective, Qin Yuanqing is the first person.

On June 8, while everyone was still immersed in celebrating the centenary anniversary of Harbin Institute of Technology, a conference on future space station research and development was held in the high-security conference room of Harbin Institute of Technology. In addition to the relevant person in charge of the space agency, the attendees There were seventy or eighty technical experts at the meeting, each of whom was an elite in the Chinese aerospace field and was well-known in the Chinese aerospace field.

"Comrades, I believe everyone knows the purpose of this meeting, which is about the next generation space station. This meeting lasts for three days. Everyone can speak freely. They are not allowed to disclose it outside the conference room. I believe everyone knows the confidentiality agreement. !" The person presiding over the meeting was a CNSA leader, said seriously.

The space station can be said to represent a country's high-precision technology and a reflection of a country's comprehensive national strength. Naturally, it needs to be kept secret to avoid major losses due to leaks.

Whether in the United States, Russia, Europe, or China, extremely high confidentiality measures are adopted regarding high-precision technologies. This is a country's security.

"The next-generation space station should surpass the International Space Station and compete with the 'space mushroom' proposed by the 'United Space Structures' company, which can satisfy the needs of multiple people living and conducting scientific research on the space station!" A middle-aged man said eagerly.

‘Space Mushroom’ is a new space station planned by the American company ‘United Space Structures’. In design, the new space station is mushroom-shaped and will rotate around a vertical axis at 4.22 times per minute to create artificial gravity. The completed "space mushroom" will be about 100 meters in diameter and 400 meters long. Building such a large structure would take about 30 years and cost close to about $300 billion.

Of course, according to the current situation, even in another ten years, United Space Structures will never be able to start building such a space station.

"I believe that the future space station should be able to accommodate 10 astronauts to work and live in the space station and carry out a variety of scientific research work. The space station will no longer use spaceships to travel to and from the space station, but a space shuttle!" An expert put forward own conception.

As the saying goes, if one person is short-term, everyone will be wise. Three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang. Everyone put forward their opinions and views one after another, and there was a collision of sparks of wisdom.

Qin Yuanqing did not speak first, but listened carefully to everyone's thoughts and opinions, and then wrote them down in his notebook.

Participating in this meeting, everyone has a consensus, that is, the next-generation space station will be much larger than the current space station. It can accommodate at least ten astronauts to live and conduct scientific research on the space station. The overall level will exceed that of the current International Space Station, and its service life will be Reach 20~30 years!

The investment in the construction of the entire space station will also exceed 100 billion yuan!

However, Qin Yuanqing also discovered that everyone focused more on the International Space Station, which is the fourth-generation space station, and had not thought about anything beyond the fourth-generation space station. There were almost no specific things.

Qin Yuanqing shook his head. Sure enough, poverty has limited phenomena. Even though China has developed to this point, everyone's imagination is still stuck in the past. They have no idea what China will look like and what aspects it will have in ten years. The technology is equivalent to the black technology in the current society.

And ten years from now, what mission will China’s aerospace have, and what kind of space station will it need? Instead, it will basically stay at the current fourth-generation space station ‘International Space Station’, but it just wants to be slightly more advanced than the International Space Station.

Since humans entered space, the space station has developed through four generations, namely the first-generation space station 'Salyut series space station' (Salyut 1~Salyut 5), the second-generation space station 'Salyut series space station' (Salyut 6~Salyut series space station) 7), the third-generation space station 'Mir', and the fourth-generation space station 'International Space Station'.

Today's Huaxia Space Station is actually equivalent to the level of the third-generation space station 'Mir Space Station', but it is ahead of the 'Mir Space Station' in some technical aspects, but overall it is much inferior to the 'International Space Station', regardless of size. , quality, pressurized space, and the number of resident astronauts are all quite different.
