Chapter 501 Development One
Of course, in the past three years, human civilization has been doing its utmost to build the Earth’s defense circle, but there is still a long way to go before the completion of the entire Earth’s defense circle, because according to the plan of the Earth Defense Command, not to mention In addition, only the Earth’s low-earth orbit defense facilities, that is, space stations with a tonnage of more than 500 tons, will exceed 5,000 after completion.
This is only the Earth’s low-Earth orbit space station. In addition, the medium-earth orbit space station, the same tonnage exceeding 500 tons, will also have more than 1,000 military-use space stations, and the high-orbit and geostationary orbit large-scale military-use space , There will be more than 100 seats.
So now it seems that they have built many large space stations, but compared to the entire plan, this is just the beginning. And according to the plan of the Earth Defense Command, with so many space stations, the earth’s civilization will be in the next six months. All are built within, so such pressure is still very huge for the entire human civilization.
Of course, apart from the construction of defensive facilities outside the earth, the construction of ultra-long-range defensive facilities in the earth’s local area has not fallen. However, due to the current technological limitations of human civilization, for ultra-long-range attack weapons, especially threats from the universe For the attack, there are only beam energy weapons, such as lasers, for the time being.
In addition, only those very large rockets capable of launching deep space exploration spacecraft also have certain attack capabilities.
Therefore, since the establishment of the Earth Defense Command three years ago, the entire world and the entire human civilization have also seen a thriving situation. Except for the uncivilized areas where there are wars, other areas have basically eliminated the existence of wars, because Everyone knows that compared to the threat of alien civilizations and the huge interests in the universe, this little bit of interest on Earth is no longer in their eyes.
What’s more, if anyone in the entire Earth Defense Command Center dared to launch a war on the earth, then the right to speak in the Earth Defense Command Center will be weakened. Even being replaced by others is something they absolutely don’t want to see. You have to know that this is a matter of their future development and interests.
And such a large and numerous projects naturally greatly stimulate the economy of the earth. The vast majority of companies make a lot of money, and this naturally includes Tiangong Technology.
Because Tiangong Technology is the most advanced enterprise in aerospace technology on the earth, many products are, of course, unique and indispensable. For example, Tiangong Technology’s pulse detonation rocket engine is one of them. With this pulse detonation rocket engine of Industrial Technology, then, in the past three years, there will not be so many kinds of aerospace planes on the earth, and many space stations in natural earth orbit cannot be built.
In addition, there are some materials of Tiangong Technology, especially special high-temperature resistant glass, which is also one of the necessary materials for the manufacture of aircraft. Although many other aerospace institutions on the earth also have high-temperature aerospace glass, and Compared with this special glass of Tiangong Technology, the performance of these aerospace glasses is far worse. Of course, the special glass that can be sold to them is already very backward for Tiangong Technology or for China. It is Sky Technology. The first generation of products, after all, the most advanced products cannot be sold to them, unless one day the entire earth’s civilization has merged into a big family, and countries can no longer distinguish each other. At that time, their Tiangong technology will be natural. These restrictions will be lifted, but it is impossible now.
Of course, since the volume of multiple space stations in the Earth’s orbit is already very large at this time, even the ordinary people on the ground can already clearly see the existence of these spaces, so people on the earth are already used to it at this time. The existence of these space stations, and at the same time, people are more clear about the arrival of the Universe era. Therefore, even the majors in space have been expanded to 200% or more in major colleges, but even so, the relevant majors of the universities are also It is full every year.
At the same time, so many space stations, especially those affiliated to Tiangong Technology and the official space station, appear to be quite large because the construction is basically completed. Once it is night, they hang in the sky like two night pearls.
These two space stations are so huge that there are naturally few people working in these two space stations. They can’t go anywhere. Take the Ziwei space station of Tiangong Technology as an example. Although its total tonnage is only 1,500 tons, In this space, there are thousands of astronauts in Life and scientific research.
In addition, people still see a little light from time to time, approaching these empty stations, and then there is a fire, leaving these space stations. Everyone is very clear about this. These flashes of fire are just for going and leaving. The aerospace plane of the space station is a means of transportation between the earth and the space station.
At the same time, in this era, people want to travel in space, it is already quite convenient, as long as they report to the official or Tiangong Technology, and the price is very cheap, the price of each person to and from the space station is only ten Tens of thousands, it can be said that even ordinary people can afford such a price.
In the past three years, according to Tiangong Technology and official statistics, the number of people traveling to space in China alone has reached hundreds of thousands. One can imagine how popular space tourism is today.
Of course, this is only for China. If it is placed outside of China, space tourism is not so easy, because at this time, the official side and Tiangong Technology will add all the aerospace planes. The number has reached more than 500, and among them, medium-sized aerospace aircrafts are the main ones, that is, the Phoenix II series.
You must know that the Phoenix series is not the Phoenix II series. Let alone the passenger operation of the Phoenix II series, the aeroplane is just the original version of the Phoenix II series, that is, the Phoenix-kt2. It can also be carried with the crew at most. 13 astronauts, this is the standard version of the Phoenix II series.
The passenger-carrying aerospace plane of the Phoenix II series of hollow space planes can carry more than 100 astronauts into the space station at a time, and then bring more than 100 astronauts back from space. This is absolutely It is incomparable to other space agencies in the world.
Although in the past three years, other aerospace agencies in the world have successively developed own aerospace planes after purchasing pulse detonation rocket engines from Tiangong Technology, but most of them are cargo-type Skyplanes, even if There are one or two aerospace planes that have also developed passenger-carrying models. However, due to its own technology and other reasons, its maximum passenger capacity can only carry 20 or 30 astronauts at a time. Thank God. NS.
Coupled with the Phoenix II series of aerospace planes, it can reach space stations in medium and high orbits, while the Phoenix series and these aerospace planes developed by them can basically only be used for round-trips between low and medium orbit space stations. So the gap between them and China is still very huge.
