Technology Bigshot Chapter 514: ：The reporter asked a question]

……

"Sir, sir! I'm sorry to disturb you late at night, but I think you have to check out the press conference lous is holding, which is a huge opportunity for our company, as long as we can work with it !”

At this very moment, in the middle of MS's press conference, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Robert Bigelow was awakened from his sleep by a late-night phone call.

"Missing my sleep late at night, Matthews, if it doesn't match what you're telling me, I'll fire you!" Old Bigelow scolded, dressed in one-piece pajamas and made a cup of hot coffee. Refreshed, he came to the bedroom desk and sat down, with a hint of drowsiness in his eyes, he turned on the personal computer unhurriedly.

"'Heavenly Palace'? What? Over 5,000 tons?...Ow, oh~! It's burning me! Damn it!"

The private video link sent by Matthews. When Bigelow saw Ren Hong in the video saying that he would build a space station with a volume of more than 5,000 tons, the old Bigelow was taken aback by the data. , The hot coffee in his hand could not be stabilized and accidentally dropped, and the entire tabletop was all over the place. Bigelow hastily dealt with the liquid that was filled on the tabletop, and then stared intently.

A super space station of more than 5000 tons, this is definitely a big leap for Bigelow Aerospace if it can get the cooperation with MS. Bigelow Aerospace is an aerospace company specializing in the manufacture and provision of inflatable space capsules. The company's flagship product "beam space capsule" has not only provided the "International Space Station" with a cheap and durable inflatable space capsule. With the close cooperation of alphabet, in its base on the lunar surface, alphabet has purchased a large number of "beam space capsules" for the construction of the lunar base.

Nowadays, with the more and more frequent human exploration of space, Bigelow Aerospace is also rising. This time, the space exploration of Matrix Technology, "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port" is simply a godsend opportunity! If it can provide MS with a "beam space capsule" and a "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port" with a volume of more than 5,000 tons, how much will the other party's demand be?

"Matthews, prepare me the earliest flight to China, preferably tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

Once Bigelow thought of this, all the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared, and he stared motionless at the screen of the personal computer.

……

The scene of the conference.

"Mars, this planet has special emotions for human beings. Its related data is the closest terrestrial planet in the solar system to the earth. Since 2013, NASA found that the soil of Mars contains a lot of water. Humans are more and more longing for this planet. So far, nearly 40 human probes have visited Mars..."

"Another major mission in our 'Gemini Project' is to explore Mars. Matrix Technology hopes to send humans to that land, and has begun to study related scientific research such as trying to extract water from the Martian soil, so that in the future Human beings help to establish a base on Mars, and Matrix Technology hopes to build a self-sufficient Mars base on Mars, and the 'Tiangong Ring Orbit Xinggang' will provide great help for us to explore Mars."

"It's not a hoot, the burning money proves we're doing it!"

Ren Hong stood in front of the stage and spoke to all the reporters and guests. His confident face showed that he was full of confidence in the "Gemini Project". Holding a press conference is not because Matrix Technology is very happy and eager to prove her strength and ambition to the world, but the "Gemini Project" simply cannot hide it.

It should be noted that the space base of the "China Matrix" has been under construction, a striking launch tower and its future orbiting "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port", the largest man-made space station in human history cannot escape the outside world It will lead to speculation from the outside world, and bring unnecessary trouble and disputes, especially if such a large-scale interstellar port surrounds the outer low-orbit platform, and there is a berthing port. , and even give people the title of "space-to-ground strike weapon".

This is not what Matrix Technology wants.

Finally, it's time to ask questions that excited the reporters in the audience.

Ren Hong looked at the hundreds of big hands raised off the court without saying a word. The person in charge of the press conference who was in charge of calling and asking questions raised his head and looked up at the rear, pointed his finger and said, "Thank you, yes, that one. , it's you!"

"Hello, Mr. Ren. I'm Yang Min, a reporter from Weifeng Technology News." An Oriental female reporter with a good face said slowly: "May I ask where the 'Tiangong Ring Orbit Xinggang' is expected to be. When will it be completed? When will we be able to send our astronauts to Mars?”

This reporter especially emphasized the word "we" a little bit. Under the focus of Chinese and foreign media and the global perspective, although the newspaper "Weifeng Technology" has little to do with Matrix Technology, at this moment, I want to come here All the national reporters on the scene were extremely proud. After all, this is a proud moment for the Chinese people.

Ren Hong nodded, then replied: "Five to ten years!"

In a concise four-character answer, Ren Hong added: "From the day the 'China Matrix' was established, in the near future, the 'Heavenly Palace' will gradually take shape in outer space. Our expectation is that It is hoped that it will be completed and put into use within half a year or a year. As for the progress of the 'Mars mission', exactly the progress of the entire 'Gemini Project' will depend on when the 'Tiangong' will be put into use. Thank you. next."

A group of foreign media reporters or scholars and guests were all surprised. Is this the "China Speed" that shocked the world?

The so-called "China Speed" is famous all over the world. In less than half a century of the Republic, the world's infrastructure has been stunned. One of the most classic videos on the lure tube is that a bridge on the fourth ring road of the capital needed urgent replacement. It will seriously block the traffic in the already overwhelmed capital. However, the miracle is that the engineers of the Republic completed the replacement of the bridge in only 43 hours. Even many people who went to work on Monday did not know that the bridge had been replaced. This video The extremely hot spread on the lure tube once shocked countless foreigners.

150 days and nights of careful preparation resulted in a miracle of 43 hours. This is "China Speed". The exaggerated construction speed and capability of the Republic was once ridiculed by netizens as "infrastructure madman". There are countless such examples. .

"Hello, Mr. Ren!" a newspaper reporter from "Empire Magazine" asked: "The super-large volume of the space station is like an air fortress. Does it have the ability to carry out military operations from outer space to the earth? The ability to strike?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at Ren Hong. The scene was very quiet. The only sound was the operation of the equipment and the shutter sound of the camera. This is undoubtedly a sharp problem, and it is also an expected problem. It is expected that there will be a response.

"Air fortress! I like this adjective." Ren Hong said boastingly, but with a calm expression, he then looked at the reporter and said, "But I prefer to describe him as a target in the air."

Speaking of this, Ren Hong looked at the other party seriously and added: "'Tiangong Xinggang' is a scientific research facility, not a military facility. Taking a step back, we have no reason to attack the world within an hour. To build expensive and not completely safe space weapons in outer space, 'Tiangong' operates in low and medium orbits near the earth, it is not absolutely safe, rocket strikes from the ground have a devastating threat to it, on the contrary, we should be more concerned about The threat of some people to it is not only the loss of the parties, but the loss of all mankind."

Only the Americans and the Russians can attack the outer space vehicles. The implication is self-evident, the Russians are basically impossible, then only the Americans.

Ren Hong suddenly showed a confident smile and said again: "We have the submersible aircraft carrier Whale Shark, and there are countless cheaper and more effective defense weapons. We can't do thankless things. We are not afraid of any threats and we love peace. , I hope that under the current upsurge of space exploration, all mankind should focus on the stars and the sea, contribute to the advancement of human science, and do not limit the pattern and small thoughts to the earth itself. Next!"

I didn't even say thank you at the end.

(To be continued.)

(ps: The replacement of the Fourth Ring Road Bridge is a real case. It was introduced in the second season of the documentary "Super Project" produced by CCTV "China Road". Children's shoes want to know what "China Speed" is, and recommend the disciplinary film "Super Project". Engineering". What is the concept of "China's speed"? Take bridge construction as a simple example. China is advancing at an average speed of 30 bridges completed every day. There is only one family, there is no semicolon. "China Speed" has only taken more than 30 years to make this country change like a sea of ​​vicissitudes. Even the dead people who stay at home can feel the changes in this country, turn around and take a look Great powers like India and Brazil can set off something more!) (To be continued.)
