Technology Bigshot Chapter 511: : “Gemini Project”]

Actually, Ren Hong himself did not dabble in space technology too much, but the space technology process of Matrix Technology is still in full swing. The most important factor is the behind-the-scenes support of the Aviation Administration of China. He also sent a large number of talents, and Ren Hong actually issued some task indicators. His most current work or research is mainly the technological decoding of the blue water giant.

With Liu Yuliang at the helm of the "China Matrix", Ren Hong only needs to invest money and formulate a general direction for control. If there are any technical difficulties that cannot be overcome, he will join in. Fortunately, he is not needed very much at present.

However, the space technology of "China Matrix" has another biggest feature, which is also Ren Hong's greatest contribution, that is, the huge difference between the system and Western space technology, because the existence of "Ziyuanjing" has led to the "China Matrix" "Amethyst space technology is developing toward another inflection point, in other words, it is more advanced. The "Amethyst Crystal" with small size and high energy storage is used as a power source, which means that the bloated rocket can be completely abandoned, and more materials can be carried. Reduce shooting costs, etc.

This completely different shooting tower has completely changed the development direction of Matrix Technology and even the entire country in the space technology system due to the emergence of "Purple Origin Crystal Stone".

Yes, this tower is not used for rockets, but for air transport aircraft. Just say "Fox Eagle" space transport aircraft, this type of transport aircraft is specially designed to transport materials to space, with a length of 42 meters, a wingspan of 18 meters, and a maximum payload of 63 tons of materials.

The "Arc Eagle" space transport aircraft is much smaller than the retired "Columbia" space shuttle in the United States, but the payload is twice that of the "Columbia". To be able to do this, it must be inseparable from the energy supply of "Purple Origin Crystal" as a power thruster.

The bloated "Columbia" space shuttle needs a large part of its mass for propulsion fuel, but the "Arc Eagle" space transport aircraft powered by "Amethyst" as energy power, a purple stone the size of a can is enough It can bear all the energy supply required for the entire transport aircraft to travel back and forth between space and the ground, which means that most of the space and load originally occupied by fuel can be turned into transport materials.

And the complete abandonment of rockets is an absolute turning point for human spaceflight.

The launch tower completely replaced the rocket, and the "Arc Eagle" space transport aircraft entered the launch track of the launch tower on the take-off runway. In just nine seconds, the space transport aircraft could use the semi-"" shape ejection track in the launch track. In nine seconds, the transport aircraft can get a 35-degree boost when it separates from the launch tower, and the "Arc Eagle" space transport aircraft has a time of 360,000 kilometers, which is 80,000 kilometers more than the American space shuttle.

According to the plan, the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Harbor" has a mass of up to 77 tons, and the "Arc Eagle" is calculated according to the standard material load of 5 tons, and it has to make at least 15 round trips between outer space and the earth. transportation.

It's just an air and space transport aircraft, and the efficiency is too slow. For this reason, "China Matrix" plans to build an "Arc Eagle" air and space transport aircraft to meet transportation needs.

Fortunately, the discovery and application of "Amethyst Crystal" has greatly reduced the cost of space activities of Matrix Technology. If a carrier rocket is used to undertake the materials for the construction of the orbital star port, not only because of the load of the rocket The reason for the doubling of the number of launches and transportation to more than three times, the supply of rockets will definitely not keep up, causing the construction cycle of the orbital star port to soar, and the expensive, low, and inefficient rocket launch costs are enough to make People are desperate.

One shot needs to cost 1.5 billion to 300 million US dollars, and there are 3 times of delivery. The shipping cost alone exceeds 500 million US dollars. Even a high-level gold master like Matrix Technology can't bear it.

Fortunately, "China Matrix" does not have these troubles. The existence and utilization of Amethyst Crystal allows "China Matrix" to obtain cheap space exploration costs, which is an incomparable advantage for Western space exploration.

Ren Hong left the shooting tower control center and came to the production workshop. "China Matrix" is located in the north of the company's headquarters, covering an area of ​​36 hectares, which is larger than the area required by the research and production centers of any subsidiary of Matrix Technology. must be big. There is no way, the characteristics of the "Chinese Matrix" are like this. A launch tower and take-off runway will occupy a large space, and there must be protection around it, and a lot of space must be vacated.

Ren Hong inspected the space base for most of the day, and basically had a general understanding of all the planning processes. To his surprise, the progress of the project was much faster than he expected. But it is relieved to think about it. The efficiency is so fast thanks to the technology tree shared by Matrix Technology, the support of the external Aviation Administration of China and the government, and the "help" of major brother companies. For example, the subsidiary is about to provide a batch of omnipotent machines. The production unit provides assistance in the production of materials for the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Xinggang".

As soon as the raw materials arrive, the omnic manufacturing production line can be fully activated, and the efficiency of production and manufacturing can be described as a dream.

On the third day, the "China Matrix Space Exploration Technology Company", which has been tepid, announced important news.

"China Matrix" has not shown much since its inception, and all the limelight has been robbed by the project plans of the brother companies, and today's high-profile announcement of important plans has immediately attracted the attention of the industry, especially astrophysics and astronomy and other related scientific institutions.

No one dares to underestimate this company. Although Matrix Technology is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, it is backed by one of the top aerospace powers in the world, and no one dares to ignore this "new player", " There is no disguise about the shadow of the Aviation Administration of China on the "China Matrix", just like the US ns relative to spnbsp; interestingly, the "China Matrix" released news to the outside world. The institutions that just concluded the 6th "Planet Defense" conference not long ago expressed their great joy, because they thought that the "China Matrix" released news this time, it should be no accident that they should join in. In fact, the outside media is generally like this thought.

AFP's media also reported that Matrix Technology's ability to join is well deserved. Although it belongs to the latecomers in the field of space exploration, it is also a company that is not weaker than sp, 1pb, and more There is no doubt about the potential of Laura Space Systems, the veteran aerospace companies and 1s companies.

"What? Rejected?" Didimens, the head of the agency still located in Cologne, Germany, stared at the ceiling dumbfounded. The voice from thousands of miles away in the communicator came into my ears again: "Yes sir, the other party politely refused to join."

Ending the communication, Didimons murmured: "How could he refuse? Is it a revenge for the efforts of the Ninth Space Agency's initiator?"

After thinking about it, Didimons shook his head again, which doesn't seem like a Chinese style. No matter how these foreigners thought about it, they would never have thought that the space technology they were proud of was already expensive and cheap technology in Ren Hong's eyes, and they simply dismissed it.

The news of Matrix Technology's refusal to invite to join spread like wildfire, which shocked the industry. The consensus prediction of mainstream voices made a collective mistake. At the same time, I didn't understand why such an opportunity was given up. I tried my best to apply for joining. Today But refused without hesitation, is it an act of will? or something else?

There were different opinions for a while, and the media who saw the wind suddenly pulled it out. The "euphemistic" rejection of Matrix Technology was too slapped. This time, it is considered a shame that the whole world has been thrown into the South China Sea. The Daily Mail can't help but jokingly called it a joke, using a teaching tone to remind you not to exaggerate if you are not fully sure, and hope that you will not be so shameful again.

Matrix Technology's refusal and naked face-slapping behavior is equivalent to saying goodbye completely. As for one of the parties, he just posted a brief message, claiming that the decision was regrettable, and then it was over.

"China Matrix" announced that it will officially hold a press conference a week later, and announced a large-scale space exploration project called "Gemini Project" on the parent company's official website.

In this condensed message with less than fifty Chinese characters, Matrix Technology made a simple information disclosure to the "Gemini Project". Mars Mission" into the "Gemini Project".

The outside world has absolutely no idea what the "Sentry Mission" in the "Gemini Project" announced by Matrix Technology is. It can't interpret the useful information literally, and the official has not made an explanation. I want to know the exact The news can only wait for more details to be announced at the press conference.

But another mission of the "Gemini Project" is different, namely: the Mars mission, the two striking characters of "Mars" are there, although there is no specific explanation like the "Sentry Mission", but only from " The words "Mars" can show that this so-called "Gemini Project" must be related to the exploration of Mars, and it is definitely an ambitious space project of Matrix Technology.

It's definitely not a small matter to hold a press conference.

A brief official news immediately attracted the attention of global space and astrophysicists and practitioners in various space fields.

Matrix Technology announced that it will hold a press conference, and the global media is pleased to see it, because referring to previous examples, every time this company holds a press conference, the subscription volume and click-through rate at that stage are soaring. It can be converted into real money.

For a while, the world's major mainstream media sent reporters to the "China Matrix" conference at the headquarters of Matrix Technology to participate in the press conference.

Daily single recommendation: I recommend an unpopular single today, a single produced by the American San Francisco rock band "": 5ssb, which translates as "5 ways to say goodbye", I personally think this single is very good, It's just that because of copyright issues, many people have not had the opportunity to come into contact with it. I recommend it to everyone today. If you are interested, you can try it out! In order to learn English, Stone listened to a lot of English songs before he could learn English, which is embarrassing to be continued
