Technology Bigshot Chapter 516: ：Star Harbor Structure]
During the internal seminar, Ren Hong and a group of aerospace engineers focused on the construction of the "Tiangong Ring Star Harbor".
The main structure of "Tiangong Ring-Orbit Star Harbor" will include the following major cabins: two core cabins each with a capacity of 300 cubic meters, five experimental cabins or space life cultivation rooms with a total space of 470 cubic meters, two A cargo compartment with a total space of 160 cubic meters, three supply compartments of 100 cubic meters, 190 cubic meters and 120 cubic meters respectively, a giant annular centrifugal gravity maker, the inner ring diameter exceeds 200 meters, reaching 218 meters.
This huge centrifugal gravity maker will be the only multi-chamber space with gravity in the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Harbor", where the gravity created by centrifugal force through rotation can make the astronauts in space feel like they are in Like the earth, out of the state of weightlessness, the centrifugal gravity maker will make it possible for human beings to live permanently in space.
And here, the astronauts or scientific and technological workers on the Star Harbor will be located here, including personal lounges, bedrooms, and a fitness room. In the future, they will be required for daily exercise such as treadmills. The equipment is sent to Xinggang, and the entire centrifugal gravity maker ensures that the astronauts in Xinggang can have a good guarantee in the weightless working environment of space.
The centrifugal gravity maker occupies more than 6,200 cubic meters of space, more than 6 times the space capacity of the decommissioned "International Space Station".
The overall outline of the "Tiangong Ring-orbit Star Harbor" in a relatively horizontal view presents the shape of "Yu". Interestingly, the outline of the "Tianzhou" currently in orbit is in the shape of "T". . As for the "Heavenly Palace", in the middle of its outline is the normal map where the centrifugal gravity generator is located, the first horizontal at the top, the supply cabin and the cargo cabin on the left, and the experimental cabin or the outer space life cultivation room on the right. Between the two horizontal lines in the shape of "Yu" is the first core cabin, and the longer section below is the second core cabin, which is also the largest core cabin.
And the hook at the end of the "Yu" shape is of another use. This will be the first space telescope in the Republic. Although there are radio telescopes such as the Guizhou Super "Sky Eye" with a diameter of 500 meters, but The barrier of the atmosphere has always been a factor that cannot be ignored. It is urgent for this country to have its own space telescope in outer space. After the domestic astronomical institution learned of the "Gemini Project", a group of the most authoritative astronomers jointly petitioned hope A space telescope can be built on the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Harbor".
After Ren Hong saw this document delivered to him, he did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.
"Sky Eye No. 2" was born from this. Once sent to space, it will become the most advanced space telescope for human beings so far, and the performance data will exceed that of the "James Webb Space Telescope" that once replaced the "Hubble Telescope" and is now outdated.
However, the sky-high cost of "Tianyan-2" is more expensive than that of "Webb Space Telescope". Ren Hong would not be foolish to pay for it out of his own pocket. That is a sky-high price of nearly 10 billion US dollars. As for Ren Hong, he said that the "Tianyan-2" will be sent to space at the cost of transportation price, and the matrix technology can help it maintain, but the maintenance fee has to be charged.
Shuluo is Shuluo, one code is one code, it can be discounted but it will never be free, there is no such good thing in the world.
The estimated investment of the "Gemini Project" has reached the same level as the "Virtual World" project, and it will only be higher in the future. Space exploration is a real gold swallowing beast. Matrix Technology has burned nearly 500 billion US dollars in funds, not to mention that the "Mars Mission" that follows is another golden beast.
If it weren't for the fact that today's matrix technology has already laid a favorable foundation for business globalization and the "virtual world", a super cash cow, Ren Hong would not dare to play like this. Don't forget that the company also has a "Western Project". In the case of wanton burning funds, the two money-burning "dual engines" are fully activated, even a super gold owner like Matrix Technology is under pressure. Fortunately, the foreseeable returns in the future are unimaginably rich, and all the investment , All the efforts will get huge benefits that cannot be described in words.
The greater the investment, the greater the return!
For the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Xinggang", its relative plan view is a large and eye-catching "Yu" shape, but its relative view from the top is different, large and small. The cabins are connected together. Fortunately, the air resistance in outer space is almost negligible, and there are not so many requirements for the shape of the star port.
The length of the "Yu" shape from top to bottom is more than 300 meters. This length is almost comparable to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The air fortress deserves its name, and this length is not the longest in a period of time.
In addition to the above structures, two large trusses over 0 meters will be erected at the position of the second core cabin of "Heavenly Palace". After rotating at a 90-degree angle and looking up, there will be a "Yu" shape with a head out of the "Heavenly Palace". If the removed top horizontal is added, a "王" character will appear, and the lower part will be exposed. A tail and a touch of hook.
The two trusses docked in the second core module are not antennas, but the two berthing ports of the star port, and they are also the real protagonists of the "Mars Mission". After the two trusses are completed, they will become two super spacecraft , at that time, they will be separated from Xinggang, carry a large amount of materials and some landers to Mars, and become an on-orbit substation on Mars orbit, and will also become the first human space station on Mars orbit. Supplies on a truss will become an outpost base on the surface of Mars.
Everything is a plan finally established after repeated research or experimental simulation by engineers.
The general structure of the "Tiangong Ring Star Port" has been established and completed. Ren Hong left after continuing discussions with Liu Yuliang and others for a period of time. It is not an easy thing to send the 7,700-ton star port to outer space. , and it is not something that Ren Hong can do alone. Many details that he does not care about require engineers to work day and night to overcome the potential dangers one by one.
"China Matrix" has also become a subsidiary with the largest number of employees under the group company, reaching a huge scale of 2,000 people, nearly two-thirds of which are technical engineers, able to obtain so many elite-level talents, some talents Talents like Liu Yuliang who combine technology and management or top scientists like Professor Wan Yuanxi would not be able to work without the support of the CAAC and the government.
In the afternoon, Ren Hong came to the control center of the launch tower. At this moment, the "Arc Eagle No. 1" space transport aircraft will conduct its first flight test flight around dusk. This test flight is particularly critical, not only to test" The performance of "Arc Eagle No. 1" is also a test of the launch tower, which is a test flight mission of a "double test" nature.
"Boss!" Ding Yang quietly came to Ren Hong's side and whispered, "According to the schedule, you have an appointment for a meeting, and you should meet the boss of Bigelow Aerospace in half an hour."
"Is there such a thing?" Ren Hong said uncertainly. Many times he didn't quite understand his work schedule, activities and arrangements. Basically, Ding Yang was responsible for reminding him.
Meet Bigelow in half an hour? This made him a little embarrassed, because the test flight was about to be carried out soon, after thinking about it, he moved in his heart and said: "You should respond to Bigelow now, if he wants to bring him here, or postpone it, See you when you are free, by the way, when are you free?"
"One and a half months later." Ding Yang replied after thinking about it for a moment.
"I don't need to see you in a month. That's it, do as I say, and you won't be pulled down!" After that, Ren Hong turned his attention to the launch tower and the busy staff on the runway. The "Eagle No. 1" aerospace transport aircraft is on the horizontal runway. At this moment, engineers are conducting various inspections around the transport aircraft.

(ps: It's the last day, please guarantee the end of the monthly pass, the last day is one for two!!! Various requests~)(To be continued.)
