Rebirth of science and technology academic master

I personally got on the bus and experienced it. Although it is not comfortable, it is a good vehicle for the space station. It only takes 20 minutes to go around a large circle in it, which can greatly improve the comfort of the space station astronauts. efficiency.

Qin Yuanqing still gave a very high evaluation. This brand-new thing must be improved step by step when it is used in the future. Just like the original car, the appearance, comfort, and performance were not very good at the beginning. Only through continuous improvement in the process did we have cars, sports cars, and off-road vehicles that were quite good in all aspects.

After checking the future experimental schedule of the space vehicle, Qin Yuanqing went to Harbin Institute of Technology, because Harbin Institute of Technology is also responsible for a major scientific research project of the "Double Ring Space Station", which is space environment simulation. This area is led by Harbin Institute of Technology. A collaboration between several universities.

A space station as big as the "Double Ring Space Station" must have a large number of astronauts, thousands, so ensuring the astronauts' daily necessities has become a very important task.

The life system in this aspect is different from that of 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 protected. But the life system of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is different, and its requirements are much higher.

A large part requires the 'Double Ring Space Station' to be self-sufficient through the life system. Otherwise, the 'Double Ring Space Station' has to be supplied with materials every day, which will undoubtedly be very costly.

"Academician Qin, the life system we have developed can realize 40% recycling of 1,000 people." When I arrived at Harbin Institute of Technology, I came to a laboratory that is not open to the public, where a life system that simulates the space environment is being carried out.

When Qin Yuanqing heard about 40% recycling, he couldn't help but frown slightly, because this ratio is not high. The life system on the moon's surface 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 large, the various factors faced are complicated.

"You must 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 "Double Ring Space Station". If the operating cost is too high, then China will not be able to bear it no matter how large it is.

It seems that the construction cost of the "Double Ring Space Station" project is 3 trillion yuan, but considering the early research and development and related technological breakthroughs, the funds it will bring are more than 3 trillion yuan, and it will be almost doubled again.

Behind China's turbulent aerospace boom, a large amount of money is burning, but ordinary people can't see it.

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

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

"Well, we will work harder to improve the living system as much as possible." Laboratory Director Yan Bo said solemnly.

He naturally knows that the economic benefits brought by every one percentage point increase in the life system are very considerable, but at this point, in fact, every one percentage point increase in the recycling rate, the technical difficulties faced are also exponential. Increased.

After checking into the hotel of Harbin Institute of Technology, Qin Yuanqing looked thoughtful. The life system is a very important part of the 'Double Ring Space Station'. It determines the operating cost of the entire 'Double Ring Space Station'. After all, even in the future, the space system With the aircraft in service, it has become easier to travel to and from space and the ground, but to be honest, the cost is still very high. As for how to reduce the operating cost of the 'double-ring space station', the life system is an important part.

The carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts can be perfectly absorbed by plants and undergo photosynthesis to release oxygen. Human excrement can be fully decomposed. Water is watered by vegetation and participates in photosynthesis. The rest is further purified and used as drinking water for astronauts, as well as plants. Fruits and the like can also supplement the nutritional needs of astronauts.

How to continuously improve the recycling rate of life systems is an important issue. In Qin Yuanqing’s vision, the ultimate goal of life systems is to achieve basic self-sufficiency in astronauts’ living materials. Only a few living materials such as meat and seafood are sourced from the earth. be supplemented so that the overall operating costs can be reduced to a minimum.

There is no doubt that current research on living systems is still far from what he imagined.

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

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

Then he left and became a trapeze artist.

Indian Space Research Organization, a meeting is taking place.

"Now that the meeting has officially begun, you should all know the news from the Russian Space Agency. Do you want to increase funding?" G. Madavan Nair, the head of the Indian Space Research Organization, looked around the people in the conference room and asked seriously. He said: "Today we must reach a unified opinion so that I can report to my superiors and obtain funds."

"This is robbery! We have invested 40 billion US dollars in funding. The agreement is very good, cooperative research and development, and sharing of results. However, they successfully developed the 'Angara' super heavy rocket. We went to ask them for technology, and they told us The 'Angara' super-heavy rocket has not yet been successfully developed, and now they are manufacturing the 'Polar Bear' super-heavy rocket, and we all know this!" Alam stood up and said angrily.

"But we don't have definite evidence. Maybe while they are cooperating with us to develop the 'Angara' super-heavy rocket, they are also developing a 'Polar Bear' super-heavy rocket?" Sanjay turned his chair and was not in a hurry. He said slowly: "And didn't the Russian Space Agency say that if we need the 'Polar Bear' super-heavy rocket, they can sell it to us, one for only 3 billion US dollars, and we will pay for the freight ourselves!"

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

"Next year the Russian Space Agency will carry out manned spaceflight. With only 2 billion US dollars, we can send our astronauts into space. This will be our first astronaut into space in the 21st century. And our Rakesh Sharma It was 44 years ago that we flew into space on the Soyuz T-ll spacecraft with Soviet astronauts Yu Malyshev and G. Strekalov." Sanjay said: "If we can give 50 billion US dollars, by 2030 Russia will manned the moon landing in 2020, and we can also send an astronaut to the moon on 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 90 billion US dollars for this? With this much money, we can send our astronauts to the moon ourselves!" Froz frowned and said: "The last manned moon landing by the United States, The expenditure is only US$50 billion!”

"In fact, this statement is not correct. You must know that NASA's aerospace technology in the United States is quite advanced. They have technical reserves, so they only need 50 billion US dollars. However, our Indian Space Research Organization started late and has a weak foundation. Even now we are still Without mastering manned space technology, even if we spend 100 billion US dollars, we may not be able to send people to the moon!" *** shrugged and said: "And more importantly, it will take us at least 30 years to do it. Time That’s the most precious thing, we don’t have that much precious time.”

G. Madavan Nair looked at the quarreling people and felt his head hurt. He felt helpless. Although the Indian Space Research Organization is known as the fifth largest aerospace organization in the world and has a lot of funding every year, his family knew that he Even the space suits developed proved to be substandard. It would take at least 30 years of development to truly achieve manned moon landings.

But now, because of the recent Bollywood movies about aerospace themes, such as defending the moon, seizing Mars, and even heroic defense of the earth against alien invasion, the Indian Space Research Organization is under great pressure.

"Let's do this, everyone will vote, and the minority will obey the majority!" G. Madavan Nair saw that it was not an option if the meeting continued to be noisy, so he decided to use voting.

The voting result was very strange. The number of votes in favor of increasing investment in cooperation with the Russian Space Agency was as high as 80%. It seems that although the competition is fierce, the body is very honest.

Three days later, the Indian Space Research Organization held a press conference and announced additional funds to cooperate with the Russian Space Agency. Indian Space Research Organization astronauts will enter space next year, and their astronauts will join the Russian Space Agency astronauts the year after that. , hand in hand, set foot on the lunar surface together, leaving footprints belonging to the Indian Space Research Organization on the moon.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately became a big news in the world. No one was surprised about the cooperation between the Indian Space Research Organization and the Russian Space Agency. After all, the establishment of the Indian Space Research Organization itself was closely related to the Soviet Space Agency. The two had a father-son relationship. Moreover, In addition, the Indian Space Research Organization itself has already cooperated with the Russian Space Agency in the development of super-heavy rockets, and the Indian Space Research Organization has invested US$40 billion in funding for this purpose.

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