[Chapter 511: Gemini Project]
In fact, Ren Hong himself has not been involved in space technology, but the space technology process of matrix technology is still in full swing. The most important factor that cannot be ignored is that the Air China Administration supports behind the scenes, not only sharing technology for the "China Matrix", but also providing a large number of talents. Ren Hong actually issued some task indicators. His most important 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 and control the general direction. He will only join in if there are any technical difficulties that cannot be overcome. Fortunately, he is not needed at present.
However, the space technology of "China Matrix" has another biggest feature and Ren Hong's greatest contribution, that is, the huge difference between the system and Western space technology. Because the existence of "purple source crystal" has led to the space technology of "China Matrix" moving towards another turning point. In other words, it is more advanced. The small size and high energy storage "purple source crystal" as the source of power means that it can completely abandon the bloated rocket shooting, carry more materials to greatly reduce the shooting cost, etc.
This completely different tower has officially changed the development direction of matrix technology and even the entire country in the space technology system due to the emergence of "Suzure Crystal".
That's right, this tower is not used for rocket shooting, but for air and space transport aircraft. For example, the "Fox Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft, this model of transport aircraft is a model that specializes in transporting materials into space. It is 42 meters long, has a wingspan of 18 meters, and has a maximum effective load of 63 tons of materials.
The arc eagle aerospace transport aircraft is much smaller than the retired Columbia space shuttle in the United States, but the effective load is twice that of the Columbia. Being able to do this must be inseparable from the energy supply of the "Purple Source Crystal" as a power propeller.
The bloated "Columbia" space shuttle requires a large part of its mass to propel fuel, but the "Arc Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft, which is powered by "Purple Source Crystal", can be used as a purple stone in the size of a can to bear all the energy supply required for the entire transport aircraft to and from space to ground, which means that most of the space and load capacity originally occupied by fuel can be turned into transport materials.
Moreover, completely abandoning rockets is an absolute turning point for the human space industry.
The tower completely replaces the rocket. The Arc Eagle aerospace transport aircraft enters the tower's ejection orbit on the takeoff runway. In just nine seconds, the aerospace transport aircraft can obtain 35 additional points when the transport aircraft separates from the tower in nine seconds with the help of a semi-"" ejection orbit. The Arc Eagle aerospace transport aircraft has 360,000 kilometers, which is 80,000 kilometers longer than the US space shuttle.
According to the plan, the mass of "Tiangong Ringzhi Star Port" is as high as 77 tons, and the "Arc Eagle" is calculated based on the standard 5 tons of material load, and at least 15 round-trip transportation between outer space and the earth must be carried out.
It is just an aerospace transport aircraft, and the efficiency is too slow. For this reason, the "China Matrix" plans to build an "Arc Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft to meet transportation needs.
Fortunately, the emergence and application of "Ziyuan Crystal" has greatly reduced the costs of the space activities of Matrix Technology. If a launch vehicle is used to carry out the materials for the construction of the ring-orbit star port, not only will the number of launches double and the number of launches and transportation times be more than 3 times due to the rocket load, the supply of rockets will definitely not keep up, resulting in the construction cycle of the ring-orbit star port soaringly. Moreover, the expensive, low and inefficient rocket launch costs are enough to make people desperate.
A single shot costs US$1.5 billion to US$300 million, and it takes more than 3 shipping times, and the freight alone exceeds US$500 million. Even a funder like Matrix Technology can't stand it.
Fortunately, the "China Matrix" does not have these worries. The existence and utilization of Ziyuan Crystal allows the "China Matrix" to obtain cheap space exploration costs, which is an advantage that Western space exploration is simply incomparable.
Ren Hong left the tower control center and came to the production workshop. "China Matrix" covers an area of 36 hectares in the north of the company's headquarters, which is larger than the area required for the research and production center of any subsidiary of Matrix Technology. There is no way, this is the characteristic of "China Matrix". A tower and take-off runway must occupy a large space, and there must be protection around it, and a lot of land must be vacant.
Ren Hong inspected the space base for most of the day and had a rough understanding of all the planning processes. What surprised him was that the project progress was much faster than he expected. However, it was relieved to think about it. The rapid efficiency was also due to the technology tree shared by Matrix Technology, the support of the external Aviation Administration and the government, and the "help" of major brother companies. For example, the subsidiary will soon provide a group of intelligent machinery production troops to help the material production of "Tiangong Ring and Star Port".
As soon as the raw materials arrive, the intelligent machinery manufacturing production line can be fully started, and the efficiency of production and manufacturing can be described as dreams.
On the third day, the "China Matrix Space Exploration Technology Company", which has been lukewarm, announced important news.
The "China Matrix" has not been exposed since its inception, and its popularity has been snatched away by the project plans of brother companies. Now, the high-profile announcement of important plans has attracted the attention of the industry, especially related scientific institutions such as astrophysics and heaven.
No one dares to underestimate this company. Although Matrix Technology is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, it has backed up by one of the world's top aerospace powers. No one dares to ignore this "new player". The shadow of the Aviation Administration of China on "China Matrix" has no concealed any concealment, just like the US NS compared to SNBSP; Interestingly, "China Matrix" released news to the outside world. The organization that just ended the 6th "Planet Defense" conference not long ago expressed great happiness because they believed that if nothing unexpected happened, it should be a franchise. In fact, the outside media generally think so.
AFP's media also reported that Matrix Technology is well deserved to join. Although it is a latecomer in the field of space exploration, it is also a newcomer such as sp and 1pb, and not as weak as old aerospace companies such as Laura Space Systems. The potential of 1s is unquestionable.
"What? Reject?" Didimmons, the general manager of the agency still located in Cologne, Germany, looked at the ceiling in a daze. The voice from thousands of miles away in the communicator came into his ears again: "Yes, sir, the other party politely refused to join."
After the communication was over, Didimmons murmured: "How could he refuse? Could it be that he was retaliatory for the purpose of applying for the launcher of the Ninth Space Agency?"
After thinking about it, Didimmons shook his head again. This did not look like the Chinese style. No matter how these foreigners thought about it, they would never think that the space technology they were proud of was already expensive and cheap in Ren Hong's eyes, and they were simply disdainful.
The news of Matrix Technology's refusal to invite franchise spread wildly, which surprised the industry. The mainstream voices made a collective mistake in their unanimous predictions. At the same time, they didn't understand why they gave up such an opportunity. They tried their best to apply to join, but today they refused without hesitation. Is it an act of impulse? Or something else?
There were many different opinions for a while, and the media that was changing their minds immediately pulled it out. Matrix Technology's "tlemn" rejection was really slap in the face. This time, it was a shame to the whole world and the South China Sea. The Daily Mail couldn't help but joke, reminding you not to magnify without being sure of it, and hope you won't be so embarrassed again.
Matrix Technology's refusal and slap in the face is equivalent to saying goodbye completely. As for one of the parties involved, he just briefly released a message, claiming that the resolution was a pity and then left nothing.
"China Matrix" announced that it would hold a press conference to the public a week later, and announced a large-scale space exploration project called the "Temini Project" on its parent company's official website.
In this streamlined news with less than fifty Chinese characters, Matrix Technology made a simple information about the "Gemini Plan". The "Gemini Plan" is a general term, which synthesizes the "Gemini Plan" from the "Winger Task" and the "Mars Mission".
The outside world has no idea what the situation is about the announcement of the "Whistle Ballot Task" in the "Temini Plan". It cannot interpret useful information literally, and the official has not made any explanation. If you want to know the exact news, you can only wait for the press conference to announce more details.
But the other mission of the "Gemini Project" is different, that is, the Mars mission, the two eye-catching big words "Mars" are placed there. Although there is no specific explanation like the "Whistlebar Mission", it can be explained from the two big words "Mars" that this so-called "Gemini Project" must be related to the exploration of Mars, and it is definitely a space project with ambitions in Matrix Technology.
It is definitely not a small fuss to hold a press conference.
A brief official news immediately attracted the attention of practitioners in the global celestial and astrophysics and major space fields.
Matrix Technology announced that it would hold a press conference, which is popular among the media around the world, because referring to previous examples, every time the company held a press conference, the subscription volume and click-through rate at that stage were soaring, and these were all real money that could be converted into real money.
For a time, major mainstream media around the world sent reporters to the "China Matrix" at the press conference at the Matrix Technology Headquarters.
