Chapter 597 Give yourself confidence

Since the earth's space orbit was occupied by space junk caused by the big space collision, space launch activities on the earth have decreased sharply, even to the point of almost none.

At the beginning, some countries did not believe in evil and thought that mere space junk was nothing. In fact, they wanted to verify it for themselves and wanted to break this rumor with their country's superb aerospace capabilities.

Unfortunately, their debris tracking data is not very accurate, and small test rockets launched by several countries at different times have all crashed.

After sufficient data exchange and communication between several countries, their hearts became cold. Sure enough, it was the same conclusion they had reached long ago, that is, if there are too many space junks to a certain extent, the space launches of people on earth will not be possible. Will succeed again.

But they didn't expect that this time would suddenly advance decades, leaving them unprepared.

But just because they are finished, it does not mean that the aerospace activities on earth are finished. Who allowed an aerospace company to appear on this earth that was not part of the plan?

After other countries and companies have canceled their space launch plans, Arc Light Aerospace's space missions have not been affected at all. There are still many tasks that should be carried out. At most, it took a few days to put a layer on the space plane. Impact guards.

The reason why space launch missions have almost stalled during this period is because Arc Light Space's space plane does not need to be launched, but takes off directly from the ground. Naturally, the earth has no space "launch" missions.

The word "almost" is also used because countries such as the United States, which are unwilling to give up, will use cheap micro-rockets to test from time to time to see if they can resume space launch missions.

And this big move by China and ArcLight Aerospace is indeed a big stimulus to other major space countries. When the whole world has no way to go to space, China not only has a space station, but also sends many officials and people who should go to space but never Space agency personnel who have never been to space went to the space station.

Although they were using arc-light space planes, and the space stations with several cabins were all arc-light space stations, otherwise they would have crashed together with the International Space Station in the catastrophe.

But it’s useless to say a thousand words and ten thousand. China has a space station and has gone to it. This is a diamond-like fact.

At the same time, they cannot do those things, which is also the same fact as diamond.

This is really uncomfortable!

However, knowing your shame and then being brave will not change your feelings. The most powerful rebuttal is to take practical actions.

While waiting for ArcLight Aerospace to clean up space debris during this period, although their space launch missions have been suspended, the research and development tasks of various parts have not stopped, especially the aerospace department of the United States. They seem to have returned to the time when they were with Mao Xiong decades ago. During the space race, all the passion and nervousness came out.

Even if you are not nervous, people all over the country are watching. It has fallen from the most intuitively visible first position in aerospace, and has even dropped to third place.

Not only did they fall behind China, but the first place was taken by a private company. How could this prevent them from being pointed at and scolded?

Is it okay not to work hard in this situation? And it is the kind of effort that needs to be seen by the public, so a plan for a new International Space Station that is even bigger than the Tiangong Space Station has emerged.

And during this time, they didn't just make plans. Many of the aerospace technologies they owned had also been upgraded a lot, thanks to the pressure of Arc Light Aerospace.

First, because of the pressure from Arc Light Aerospace, it is very smooth for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to apply for financial funding, and as long as it sells poorly, it can get more. If the Arc Light Aerospace Threat Theory is added, the amount of funding and resource support will be greatly reduced. It's possible to double it.

Therefore, although they were pressed hard, their status, salary and bonuses have not increased during this period, which can be said to be painful and happy.

Second, because Arc Light Aerospace has continuously released videos, images, text introductions, etc. of the Tiangong Space Station and aerospace aircraft, they have successfully "touched" Arc Light Aerospace, which has saved many of their own things from taking many detours.

It turns out that when they were walking at the front, they were always being touched by others, especially a certain rabbit, who would not let go when touched. It was extremely devilish.

It's better this time. Although it's a little behind, it's good to be able to touch others. They haven't experienced that feeling for a long time.

In the videos, images, and written materials released by Arc Light Aerospace, they found a lot worth learning, and there were many places they were exploring to move forward. Only after reading the videos, images, and written materials released by Arc Light Aerospace, they discovered that they The road has begun to crooked, and some things can be solved easily, but they have become complicated.

In fact, it's not that they can't do many things, but that they can't think of them and can't change their thinking angle. However, after watching the video and other information released by Arc Light Aerospace, it suddenly became clear.

From these things, they can also see the advancement of arc-light aerospace. These are some of the things they are studying. Although they are not the most core and necessary things, they are also very helpful for the overall development of aerospace technology. .

Now Arc Light Aerospace does not keep it secret and can read it casually. This shows that the related technology of Arc Light Aerospace is really advanced and there is no fear of others learning it.

This matter made them feel uncomfortable. They had never encountered such a thing since the rise of the United States.

Fortunately, after their experiments, they were finally able to break through the cleared space junk blockade and send the first core component of the new International Space Station to the sky.

During this period, their aerospace technology has continued to develop. Although it has been a short time, it has indeed made progress, and the United States' latest launch vehicle "Space Launch System" has finally been successfully tested. It can be said that they have just caught up with this opportunity, but This is already two years ahead of the original plan.

At the same time, the first space station component, the first service module, has also been manufactured and inspected. In order to hurry up, they found a previous semi-finished product, then modified it and installed new parts and The device is complete.

Although it is a semi-finished product from before, its quality is beyond compare. After using the latest technology, it immediately looks brand new and can fly into space and stay there for ten years.

The construction of the space station in the United States is different from the Tiangong Space Station built by the Arc Light Group. The parts they need to construct in space are not as much as the Tiangong Space Station. It only accounts for about 35% of the total volume of the space station. Most of them still require one cabin per cabin. assembled.

In their words, today's technology is developing too fast, and the technological content of these cabins will fall behind in a few years.

In order to maintain the advancement and durability of large space stations, after the technology becomes more advanced in the future, their cabins can be replaced by more advanced cabins, and in that case, modular (single cabin combination structure) is the most reasonable.
