Chapter 487: Ruining things

"The President of the United States entered the scene, with his hair still flying in the wind, but I feel that they were in such a miserable situation this time. The International Space Station that could have been used for 5 years was just gone."

"The bosses of the private aerospace companies behind him are miserable. Most of their businesses are linked to the international space. Now that the International Space Station is gone and the orbit is still full of space junk, private satellites will definitely not be launched. I guess this time ...It’s hard to say.”

"The president of the Bear Country is still so domineering, but his hairline is getting more and more dangerous. I wonder if he is also worried about the space station."

"I think I might be worried about money, and maybe I'm also a little happy. Now I finally don't have to invest money in the space station anymore. I can use it to do other things. In the past few years, all countries have been working honestly on the earth. Just stay."

"Speaking of the hairline, I think I saw Mr. Dong Chen. It was really sparkling under the sun, especially when the reporter clicked the shutter. This was simply cheating. It was so beautiful."

"He is the youngest among this group of people. Even without the iconic bald head, he is still the most conspicuous one. The aura that does not match his age is not fake."

"That's right, the space station of Arc Light Space is now staying in space. Not talking about deep space exploration, just talking about the circle around the earth, their aerospace capabilities are the most powerful. This time, space junk They must have a share in the cleanup work.”

"Yes, there is no harm without comparison. The International Space Station was too badly broken. Arc Light Aerospace's strength is indeed too powerful."

"Look, isn't that the president of Asan Kingdom? He is about to enter the venue. I think his hall is dark, and he will probably have a hard time today."

It would be a shame not to do some kind of live broadcast of a major event nowadays. Although China's No. 1 TV station is called a live connection, it is almost the same as a live broadcast. At least it allows the audience to watch the scene in real time.

After Dong Chen and Sun Hao walked into the venue, they found that Hua Guo's ability to do big things in a short time was really impressive, and they arranged the entire venue in an orderly manner in just one day.

This is a circular venue, with an earth-shaped flower garden made of flowers in the middle, and then an arc-shaped table surrounding the flower garden on the outer circle. That is where the heads of various countries sit, showing that all the countries sitting here are equal. .

A few rings further outside are where managers and technical personnel from national space agencies or private aerospace groups sit.

Next to the wall are the positions of some media reporters, who are responsible for delivering news of the meeting to the outside world.

Dong Chen and Sun Hao were led by the service staff to sit down in their seats. Looking at the big guys taking their seats one after another, Sun Hao said to Dong Chen, "The scale of this time is not small. It is almost as big as the United Nations General Assembly." .”

"Can it be smaller? After all, it is related to the future of the earth." Dong Chen also looked around and said.

Such a big event does not mean that you can participate if you have a high status. The Arc Light Group has risen too fast. This is the first time to participate in such a large-scale international conference.

Their position is in the second circle, just behind the heads of state, and with people from state-owned space agencies. Next to Dong Chen is the director of the China Space Administration and the managers of the two major science and industry groups.

Dong Chen had met them before, so they were considered acquaintances. Since the meeting hadn't started yet, they started chatting with Dong Chen.

Although they are a state-owned aerospace agency and group, on the other hand, if they are compared with Dong Chen, they are really incomparable.

Dong Chen not only has a lot of money, but his company's aerospace technology is very advanced. These are exactly the two things they want. Although they have some rights to hold Dong Chen back, they have cooperation with all aspects of Hua. The top officials of the country gave the green light. They really didn't dare to block Dong Chen.

They also knew the technical source of the manned moon landing plan, and they earned a lot of face that time.

They were also thankful during the conversation.

Fortunately, the manned moon landing mission was carried out in advance. Otherwise, if this space junk is not cleaned up, China will never be able to land on the moon. Then the United States will really stand out.

This time, we have directly caught up with the United States, and now that it cannot conduct space launches, it is impossible for the United States to further distance itself.

If you want to clean up the space junk in the earth's orbit, you can't avoid Arc Light Aerospace. Now you are close to the chairman of Arc Light Group, which is very beneficial.

Maybe there can be some more cooperation or something, that would be perfect.

"... We admit that we were wrong. There was a problem with the chip used by our satellite this time, and the satellite went out of control, which led to this incident. We will compensate the countries and companies whose satellites were destroyed due to this incident, including losses. chain economic losses caused by satellites.”

The president of Asan Kingdom admitted his mistake very sincerely. After finishing his final words, he bowed to the camera, which was regarded as an apology to the whole world.

But there was a slight disagreement on the final issue of money.

For those operating satellites that were destroyed, Asan Kingdom promised to fully compensate them, which is true at all. However, regarding the cost of cleaning up space debris, the President of Asan Kingdom said that he really cannot afford it.

Before coming here, Asan Kingdom's space agency had already settled an account. If Asan Kingdom were to take care of this, they would have to lose their pants, and they wouldn't even be able to afford it.

Fortunately, all countries also know this, and they just want Asan Kingdom to contribute as much as possible.

After all, Asan Kingdom is a nuclear country, and no one can get out now, so it’s better not to force Asan Kingdom.

The Asan Kingdom was confident, but despite the absolute comparison of force, it still produced 35%. The remaining countries were responsible for the rest, especially those countries that launched the most satellites, and their contributions were not very small.

After all, those satellites were already scrapped satellites. They were originally space junk occupying the orbit. Asan Kingdom just turned them into... more broken pieces.

Since everyone is now trapped on Earth, this meeting or negotiation was still very harmonious and did not appear like the scene in the movie that Dong Chen imagined.

After determining the proportion of payment, it is the turn of the space agencies and companies of various countries to come up with solutions. Whoever's plan wins and the price is reasonable, then one-tenth of the money can be paid in advance.

Whether it’s a deposit or research funding, it’s paid immediately.

And cooperation between multiple companies or countries can be carried out. The country you are sitting on only needs a clean space, and the time must be fast.

Space junk has been around for a long time, and various countries have been researching ways to deal with space junk for many years, so the plan is ready. Now we just show the research progress and the length of garbage disposal.

The private companies here work much harder than the national institutions. After all, they have to rely on this to make a living, and if the International Space Station is gone, a large part of their income may be gone, so they have tried their best to get this huge list.

Their solutions are very good and have their own characteristics, but they take too long. Even if multiple companies cooperate, including the development time of the equipment, it will take at least ten years to complete the cleanup.

And most of the equipment is disposable, which means that after they capture the space junk, they have to return to the atmosphere for burning, which will undoubtedly increase the cost.

Plans were laid out one by one until Dong Chen was here.

"... In three years, I will give you a clean and tidy space, and the funds used are only half of the cheapest one they proposed. I wonder if you are satisfied with this plan?"

Dong Chen smiled and proposed Arclight Aerospace’s plan and quotation.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present thought: Here we go again, here comes the troublemaker.

As long as Chinese companies enter any field, that field will be at a bargain price. Now the devil's claws have finally extended into the aerospace field.

It turns out that the Arc Light Group did not compete with them, but just took orders from China, so they were not under a lot of pressure.

Now think about it, if we had not blocked China's aerospace technology, it would have been better to just take China with us, and maybe there wouldn't be any arc aerospace.

Arc Light Aerospace has ready-made technologies, and they chose the crudest one. They directly use a robotic arm to clean large pieces, a net bag to clean small and medium-sized ones, and a thin film to clean microscopic ones.

The carrier is a modified "Diao"-class transport aircraft, and the garbage does not need to be brought back to Earth. It can be reused at the Xintian Palace Space Station because there is a furnace there.
