Chapter 1787: City of the Future Sky
Since the beginning of this year, if the outside world talks about the Middle East Federation, most of the topics are not the war in Indonesia, but the vigorous construction of households in the Middle East Federation.
If it is about the Future Technology Group, the most common topic is the topic of the space field.
A few years ago, Future Technology Group began to make huge breakthroughs in the field of space technology, and now it is only two or three years. Future Technology Group's development technology in the space field has long become a leader in global space technology. .
There is no country, no company, no aerospace research and development center that can be compared with Future Technology Group.
Regardless of the fact that the Future Technology Group owns the world's first real spaceship—the future space shuttle, the future space station that has been continuously expanding, the fourth space station built in the world, has become , the most discussed topic in the world.
From the Mir Space Station, to the International Space Station, then China's Tiangong Space Station, and then to the Future Space Station of the Future Technology Group, the tasks undertaken by the first three space stations are similar.
At the beginning, the whole world didn't think that the future space station would be any different. It should also be an experimental space station. In a decade or two, it would enter the atmosphere and burn down.
However, when the future space station is built step by step, it has not yet seen the point of perfection. The whole world is extremely shocked to find that the scale of the future space station is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not the scale of a space station at all.
At least before this, the whole world did not dare to imagine that a space station the size of a city-state could really operate in Earth orbit in its lifetime.
The reports and enthusiasm for the future space station have not really diminished, and even after two or three years, they still attract much attention.
Since the future space station plan spread all over the world, the future space company has been launching space station components to space for assembly at a high frequency several times a month. Starting from the original three space cabins, it is like building blocks. Accumulate little by little.
Especially after Space Shuttle One began to undertake the main transportation work, various large-scale space capsules were also transported from the ground to space.
Among them are a number of super-large space capsules, and even modules are produced on the ground, and then transported to the space station for assembly.
Sometimes, in the future, Space Shuttle One will make several trips from space to Earth and back.
Such ultra-high efficiency, an industrial crystallization that can be called a milestone in human technology,
Beginning to take shape in Earth orbit.
The huge space station is like a space city suspended in the earth's orbit. Even in some high-altitude areas, in the night sky without light radiation pollution, the future space station can be seen with the naked eye.
The future space station, which is changing every day, naturally attracts attention every day, and the international media are all happy to report such news to attract attention.
While the International Defense Exhibition in Jerusalem is still going on, and when the Federal Guard of the Middle East is launching an offensive on the jungle of Java Island, Indonesia, Future Aerospace Corporation officially announced a major news at this moment.
There are three contents of the news, the future Space Shuttle II has been completed, all the equipment has been tested, and it can start manned missions.
The content of the second news is that the first human spaceport under construction on the outskirts of Tehran has been completed, and it will become the world's first professional land spaceport dedicated to traveling to and from the earth from other planets.
The just-completed Space Shuttle II and the next Space Shuttle III, these two spaceships specially used for manned missions, will take off and land in Tehran's spaceport, and will be responsible for transporting personnel and equipment to Earth. other places.
The third news is related to the future space station. The Future Technology Group will transport the first batch of scientists and engineers to the future space station in three days. There are a total of 101 people. These people will directly take the future space shuttle II.
These three official news from the Future Aerospace Corporation immediately attracted the attention of most of the world. Regardless of camps and countries, the three news announced by the Future Aerospace Corporation have exactly the same significance for human beings.
It means that human beings have begun to have the ability of interstellar migration.
In the past three days, the popularity of this topic has increased every day, and almost all the media and networks in the world are discussing this matter.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed quietly amidst countless discussions.
The completed Space Shuttle II also arrived at Tehran's spaceport the next day. From yesterday to now, hundreds of thousands of people have come here to watch curiously inside and outside Tehran's spaceport.
The thousand-meter-long space shuttle can be seen clearly even from a few kilometers away. The tall body cannot be completely covered by the walls around the spaceport.
Even if you just look at it from a distance, people who come here feel that it is worth it.
At the same time, all major media from around the world also arrived one after another. With their certificates, they were able to enter the spaceport for photos and interviews.
The current Tehran spaceport is naturally not open to the outside world, but all the reporters were surprised to find that there are security checks and waiting rooms in the spaceport.
It looks a bit like an airport, but it obviously looks more upscale. It is full of automated equipment, and it feels like entering the future society when you walk in.
As soon as hundreds of media came in, they were dazzled by the various equipment in the spaceport before they got a close look at Space Shuttle II.
Here, there are all automatic and integrated equipment. As soon as they come in, there will be the latest version of the robot of the future housekeeper to provide them with all the services they need and introduce the equipment inside.
The entire spaceport is like a large-scale aerospace exhibition, with various decorations and space models, which are extremely spectacular.
It looks similar to the airport, but the layout is completely different. It not only has some things that the airport has, but also a large number of training rooms, as well as testing and physical examination equipment.
Many reporters have experienced it on the spot, and the terminal building, although it looks similar to that of the airport, is taller than all the terminal buildings of the airport.
A little higher is naturally normal. After all, the size of the space shuttle is placed there. The space shuttle is more than 100 meters high, and the crew cabin is still near the roof of the fuselage. Therefore, the location of the terminal building is quite high. In a thirty-three-story building.
Underneath the terminal building is the equipment passageway. Space Shuttle Two naturally cannot only carry people, but also transport materials and a large amount of equipment. The huge cargo hold capacity, even if it is put in twenty -225 is no problem.
When a large number of reporters arrived at the terminal, they saw Space Shuttle 2 parked on the edge of the terminal. The cabin doors below were all open, and the equipment and material operation center downstairs , A large amount of materials and equipment are being transported to the cabin of Space Shuttle Two, and there are even large mechanical equipment, even big ones like excavators.
This made all the reporters present hurriedly pick up their cameras and keep pressing the shutter.
Afterwards, the world's major media also began to broadcast relevant news, and some media even broadcast live broadcasts from the moment the reporter entered the spaceport.
The huge mountain-like space shuttle, and the seemingly endless belly, shocked the world deeply.
At the same time, the outside world realized that Space Shuttle Two was much bigger than Space Shuttle One, and the stomach that was as big as the deep sea alone might be able to fit Space Shuttle One into it.
Subsequently, Future Media Company also officially reported various data of Future Space Shuttle II.
The future Space Shuttle II powered by eight large nuclear fusion reactors has a total length of 1,080 meters, the length of the three angular wings is 560 meters, and the distance from the vertical tail to the ground is 420 meters. A 24-meter-long fish-mouth-shaped tail nozzle, with a maximum load of 5,000 tons, can fly out of the atmosphere within 70 seconds without relying on additional power, and the maximum speed can exceed the third cosmic speed.
Such a huge space shuttle and such terrifying data shocked the whole world.
It can't help but make all countries in the world break out in a cold sweat. The Future Technology Group can actually produce such a huge aircraft. How can this be a spaceship!
If weapons and equipment are installed on it, how many weapons and equipment can be installed on such a huge vehicle, and how many weapons and ammunition can be carried.
Not to mention anything else, just because this thing can freely go back and forth between the earth and the outside of the atmosphere, if all the cabins with a capacity of 5,000 tons carry bombs, it is enough to raze any city in the world to the ground.
Just thinking of this is enough to make those countries that are not dealing with the Middle East Federation unable to sleep, and the thought of it makes them palpitate.
And the skill shown by the Future Technology Group is also announcing to the world that the Future Technology Group has stood at the absolute commanding heights of human technology, which can be surpassed by five people.
Not to mention the large-scale nuclear fusion reactor technology used as the power of the spacecraft, such a huge body and various complicated equipment inside are enough to make all countries in the world feel powerless.
Isn't this a show off of Chiguoguo, an upright shock.
Although from the perspective of all mankind, the Future Technology Group has indeed enabled all mankind to realize the true space dream in advance, but from the perspective of family and country, the heartache of all countries is naturally inevitable.
Especially the western countries, after seeing such a huge amount of data, they only have one thought deep in their hearts, hoping that there will be some accidents on the first flight tomorrow, and it is best to crash directly.
In this regard, they still have some hope, because this space shuttle has not yet conducted a test flight, or even just flew from the manufacturing plant to the spaceport this time. It is not yet known whether the structural strength and equipment can really fly away from the earth.
Thinking of this, all Western countries also thought maliciously, hoping that everything will go well tomorrow.
However, the Future Technology Group has never had any accidents, which also makes Western countries quite helpless. It seems that this wish is quite difficult to realize.
The people of the world have not felt the complex hearts of those in power in those countries. For most people, they are inevitably a little excited.
Migrating to alien planets was originally a difficult thing for many people to encounter in this life, but the blowout technology development of the Future Technology Group over the years has brought many future technologies that were originally out of reach to the present one by one.
Interstellar immigration is not to say that it is out of reach, but when it will start soon.
Sending hundreds of people into space at one go is definitely the first time in history.
At the same time, Cai Ruichen's move also gave the Western world a heavy blow. For most of the time, the Western world's technological blockade against third world countries has been completely broken by Cai Ruichen.
Now it has instead become Cai Ruichen's technological blockade of the Western world. This alone is enough to make Western countries feel as uncomfortable as swallowing several flies in one gulp.
Just when the western countries were quite unhappy, another news came out, that is, the construction of the first phase of the future space station was fully completed.
This news came from the report of Future Media Company, but Future Aerospace Company did not announce this news to the outside world.
And another news that came along with this news made Western countries feel like swallowing a dung ball, which is even more uncomfortable than before.
According to the report of Future Media Company, the completion of the first phase of the future space station means that the Future Technology Group will be able to fully and quickly obtain the resources on all asteroids and comets in Earth orbit.
To put it bluntly, that is the first goal of Future Science and Technology Group to establish the future space station, which is to realize the ambition of space mining. Astronauts go to the space station.
As for this matter, the outside world has been speculating a lot, but now, there is no need to guess and assume anything.
The future media company has clearly announced to the public that the role of the future space station, in addition to the necessary scientific experiments, the biggest role is the space port.
This spaceport can dock large aircraft such as the space shuttle, and can also recover various small aircraft. The main function is to launch the carrier equipment, transport the mining robot to the asteroid or comet, and then send the robot carrying the minerals to the asteroid or comet. Recycled to the space station, and finally pack the minerals, and return to the ground by drop or space shuttle transportation.
However, this is only the initial function of the space station. According to the news report of the future technology group media company, after the future space station is truly perfect, it will be a city in the sky, connecting the earth to every planet in the solar system.
A short report fully demonstrates the ambition of Future Technology Group.
