Chapter 457 Amazing Plan

How do the sizes compare?

First of all, the comparison seen by the eyes is the most intuitive. In the absence of visual deception, two objects with obvious differences in size can be immediately distinguished by their size when placed together.

There was no shortage of big shots and people who had the time to watch the live broadcast. They immediately found the size data of the Tiangong Space Station's component modules, and then calculated that the difference was too big.

Tiangong-2, renamed "Xiangtian", uses a two-chamber configuration of an experimental module and a resource module, with a total length of 10.4 meters, a maximum diameter of 3.35 meters, and a solar wing span of about 18.4 meters.

The "Tianhe" core cabin has a total length of about 18.1 meters and a maximum diameter of about 4.2 meters. The core cabin module is divided into node cabin, life control cabin and resource cabin.

The two of them are connected in a line, and the length is 28.5 meters, not even 30 meters.

Such a small place has many functions. The main tasks include providing a living environment for astronauts, supporting astronauts’ long-term stay in orbit, supporting the docking of spacecraft and expansion modules, and conducting a small number of space application experiments. It is the management and control of the space station. center.

You can imagine how crowded it is.

The "Wentian" and "Mengtian" test cabins are both about 14.4 meters in length and have a maximum diameter of about 4.2 meters. The two test cabins are connected in a straight line to the node cabin of the core cabin, and their combined length is only 33 meters. rice.

But as for the "Diao"-class aerospace transport aircraft, its length is 75 meters, its wingspan reaches 83 meters, and its cargo compartment alone is 51 meters long. How can this be compared.

Moreover, the fuselage of the "Diao"-class aerospace plane is connected with the wide wings, and it looks quite solid. It is far from comparable to the Tiangong Space Station, which is built like a cylinder and building blocks. Even the solar panels deployed on the space station It doesn't make it look stronger either.

Even the International Space Station is only 109 meters long and 51 meters wide. Isn't this aerospace transport machine big?

Even an aerospace plane is so big, so the future space station of Arc Light Aerospace will definitely be very big, at least several times larger than the aerospace transport plane.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

"It's too big. I don't know if I compare it. I'll be shocked when I compare it. Arclight Aerospace's future space station is definitely not small. Why can't it be a kilometer-level one? Look at my little expectant eyes (｀ω)."

"It's no use ogling, then it shouldn't be called a space station, it should be called a space port."

"No, I think we can just call the airport."

"What? It should be called Star Port."

"Am I the only one who thinks it should be called a space base?"

"If it's that level, and according to the Arc Light Group's usual design style, why do I think it might turn into a huge spaceship."

"Gentlemen... draw your sword, for the honor of the name!"

In the noisy atmosphere of the audience, which was about to start a fight, the contrasting perspective suddenly began to get closer, and immediately caught up with the ball that was approaching the space station from the beginning, which was much faster than the original speed of taking pictures.

After catching up with the ball, its live broadcast perspective was removed and changed back to the shooting perspective on the aerospace transport aircraft.

From the perspective of the aerospace transport aircraft, they have tiny nozzles blowing out, constantly adjusting their position and speed, and slowly approaching the docking port of the Tiangong Space Station.

"Tiangong, Tiangong, this is the golden boy. He has arrived at the predetermined location and requests to land."

"Tiangong, Tiangong, this is the Jade Girl. She has arrived at the predetermined location and requests to land."

"This is the Heavenly Palace. The information matches and login is allowed."

"clear."

After receiving permission, the "Golden Boy" ball turned on its transformation mode, stretched out four flexible manipulator hands in full view of the public, and then dexterously opened the hatch of the Tiangong Space Station.

After the hatch was opened, they started their own micro-jet engines and flew smoothly into the space station. Then they showed off their operations in the space station, flying around the cabin of the space station, pressing buttons for a while, and scanning lasers for a while. , and quickly checked all the items that should be checked.

The audience was stunned by this operation.

Sending robots to the space station is nothing new. The International Space Station has done many such things. The most useful one is the multi-functional robotic arm outside the cabin. The other robots inside the cabin...are used to show off their cuteness. It's not even an exaggeration to say it's funny.

That shape is simply eye-catching. It originally had hands to do some work, but in order to make it move, it was actually equipped with two... hands.

In the final analysis, it is due to lack of technology, and many of them are experimental in nature, so it’s okay not to mention them.

And the flexibility and intelligence of these two balls, the "golden boy" and the "beautiful girl", are much better than those of the coquettish ones.

The round appearance is quite cute, and the jet movement is so flexible, which shows that the intelligent control and computing capabilities are very strong.

The tools in the manipulator are simply a kaleidoscope, lacking nothing.

After checking everything, the two "boys" of "Tiangong" each returned to the standby stations specially purchased for themselves. After shutting down, they waited for the arrival of the station staff, or when the space station needed maintenance, they will start again.

When the aerospace transport plane stopped steadily at the Arc Light Aerospace Base again, the first phase of China's Tiangong Space Station project, which is the basic version of the Tiangong Space Station, was declared completed.

China's space station was originally expected to be completed around 2022. This was the result after taking all factors into consideration. China is also steadily moving towards this goal, but they did not expect that there would be a The super group will develop in such a short period of time and have such good technology.

In other words, China has now completed this plan three years ahead of schedule and can immediately carry out scientific research and space experiments, promoting China's space science research to enter the world's advanced ranks and contributing to the development and progress of human civilization.

It has to be said that ArcLight Aerospace’s help to China’s aerospace industry is indeed huge, and other countries are envious of it.

I envy both China and Arc Light Aerospace. I envy China's strong financial resources and Arc Light Aerospace's strong technology.

Because when their International Space Station was about to be decommissioned, China's space station was built.

Other affiliated participating countries cannot play the space station due to insufficient technology.

The technology of the United States and Maozi is fine, but they have no spare money and cannot play on the space station.

But before they were envious for a few days, Arclight Aerospace's Xintian Palace Space Station plan came out.

This is no longer a question of envy or not, but a question of fright.

Do you really want to play this big? !

Some netizens are right. The full version of the Arc Light Tiangong Space Station really reaches the kilometer level. Moreover, instead of building cabins one by one on the ground and then transporting them to space for assembly, some components are carried out on the ground. Fabricated, then assembled and welded in space.

What Arc Light Aerospace wants is not a simple space station assembled from cylinders, but a real large-scale space station of the future.

Just like the Crusader space station in Star Citizen.

After all, the detailed modeling diagram of Arc Light Aerospace is indeed a bit like the space station in the game, but it is smaller and has less equipment.

And for the earth at this stage, as long as an engine is added to this thing, it becomes a spaceship, which is still super advanced.

PS: Today’s temple fair is indeed a bit tiring. I have to boil water and make tea to serve people, and I have to take the children to the temple fair. I spent a lot of money. I have to clean up the mess after the people leave. The most important thing is that I didn’t eat a single bite of the banquet... …So there is only one update. But there should be nothing else going on this month. Except for my birthday in a few days, I can spend the rest of my time typing with peace of mind besides work.
