Chapter 1788 Interstellar Immigration Starts
The future space station, the city in the sky that Future Science and Technology Group is building, this news has attracted countless attention from all over the world.
Located on the earth's 350-kilometer orbit, a huge space station has reached a very astonishing scale.
This space station is very different from the Mir space station that self-destructed in the atmosphere back then, or the International Space Station that is now in use, or the Tiangong space station built by Huaxia itself, in terms of appearance.
In the early days of construction, the future sky city is indeed assembled one space capsule after another, just like splicing water pipes together.
However, the current space station no longer has the appearance of the previous assembly of tubes. The subsequent construction of the space station is all based on large-scale modular construction, which is spliced outside the space station.
In the construction of the space station, the future Space Shuttle One can be said to be the most important, because all the large-scale components cannot be transported into space by launch vehicles.
And those modular components that can be folded are transported into the orbit by the space shuttle, released and unfolded, and then combined with the space station like building blocks.
Up to now, the first phase of this future sky city has been fully constructed, forming a flat whole.
The entire city in the sky is like a huge disc, a fully enclosed structure, the outer shell is all made of solar panels, and the huge body has a circular area of 20 square kilometers.
This is also the main reason why this space station has been attracting attention from the initial stage of construction to the present. After all, no one knows what is inside, but just looking at such a huge size is enough to attract attention.
And so far, no one has gone up there. Until this time, the Future Technology Group finally announced that it would send professionals to the space station.
Everyone is very curious, what is installed in such a huge space station, how many people can live in it, and what is the internal environment like?
With all kinds of curiosity, everyone is also looking forward to the grand occasion of the upcoming launch of Space Shuttle II in the future.
Tehran's spaceport was already overcrowded on the day Space Shuttle II departed. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the spaceport, wanting to witness the moment Space Shuttle II lifted off.
As the largest aircraft in the world today, it is also a spacecraft in the true sense, and it is reasonable that it has attracted much attention.
However, what really caught people's attention was that just this morning, the spokesperson of the Supreme Rights Committee of the Middle East Federation officially announced a major news in the Royal Court Press Center. There was actually Cai Ruichen in the passenger list of Space Shuttle 2 this time.
This is an extremely unexpected news. One must know that the risk involved is not small. If there is any accident, how can the Middle East Federation bear it?
Similarly, this news also officially told the world that Future Technology Group has absolute confidence in the safety of Space Shuttle II, otherwise Cai Ruichen would not be able to ride on it.
That morning, on the take-off and landing runway of the Tehran Aerospace Port, a future special plane slowly landed on it. Hundreds of reporters clearly recorded that in the faces of every expert who was about to board Space Shuttle II, Cai Ruichen was the leader. , Walking in front of the whole team.
Hundreds of scientific and technical personnel and engineering experts who got off the special plane all lined up neatly. Under the leadership of Cai Ruichen, they boarded the spaceport bus, went to the bottom of the terminal building, and took the elevator to the terminal building.
And the reporters waiting in the terminal all flocked to the elevator door. The elevator door had just opened, and all kinds of guns, guns and short guns were crowded in front of Cai Ruichen. If there were no guards blocking him, Cai Ruichen might have been completely killed. Surrounded.
However, I am afraid that these reporters are not concerned about the guards, but the general next to Cai Ruichen, who is half the height of Cai Ruichen's body, and has a strong deterrent effect on these reporters.
Although these reporters couldn't get close, they had no intention of stopping for various problems.
Cai Ruichen, who had just stepped out of the elevator and stepped into the terminal building, could only stretch out his hand to suppress his voice, and then all the reporters shut their mouths.
"There is not much time. Raise your hands to ask questions, and I will answer you as much as possible." Cai Ruichen has always been unassuming to the outside world, but all reporters know that if they want to interview Cai Ruichen, it is really difficult.
When Cai Ruichen finished speaking, almost all the reporters gathered around raised their hands, and Cai Ruichen could only order one at random.
"Hello, Mr. Cai, I am a reporter from The Times of England. May I ask if you are not worried about any accidents during this trip?" According to information, this Space Shuttle II has just been built and has not yet undergone a systematic test flight, and we are very worried about your personal safety."
Regardless of whether the Times reporter's words are sincere or not, at least the superficial skills and self-restraint are in place.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen also smiled and replied: "For this question, I can only say that this space shuttle is very safe. I am fully confident in this. As for the reason, it involves the core secrets of the Future Technology Group. explain."
Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen paused and turned to the Times reporter, asking, "I wonder if the gentleman in front of me has the courage to board Space Shuttle Two with me, and then go to the space station for a tour together."
As soon as Cai Ruichen finished speaking, all the reporters around turned their envious eyes to the Times reporter, as if everyone's eyes were saying, hurry up and agree.
For every reporter on the scene, Cai Ruichen's invitation is not a stick if he refuses to accept it. Whether he has such courage or not, this question does not exist at all. to go.
It's just that when things came to an end, many questions came up one after another. The Times reporter was naturally very excited. He hesitated a little when he was just excited, and asked, "But I haven't received professional training. In a vacuum environment, I might be confused, and the spacesuit..."
These are all normal questions, but Cai Ruichen immediately interrupted his question: "You don't need to think about those questions, of course, if you have concerns, you can refuse my invitation."
"How could I refuse such a great opportunity, thank you, Mr. Cai." Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, how could he refuse? The Times reporter hurriedly agreed happily, and finally did not forget to ask: " Can I take pictures then?"
"It's absolutely fine." Cai Ruichen nodded generously, then faced the other reporters and asked, "You can continue to ask questions."
All the reporters raised their arms clatteringly, some even stood on tiptoe, as if they wanted to let Cai Ruichen see more clearly, and everyone was still envious of this lucky British reporter in their hearts.
Cai Ruichen pointed at another reporter casually, and the reporter who was pointed at asked excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Cai, I am a reporter from China Times. May I have an exclusive interview with you in Sky City?"
Hearing this reporter's question, all the hundreds of media reporters at the scene were stunned. What is the problem? But they were all envious of this guy's brains and guts. It was shameless to ask such a question on such an occasion.
A tree without its bark will undoubtedly die, but a person without shame is invincible in the world. This sentence is simply the most appropriate for this Chinese reporter.
It was the first time Cai Ruichen heard such a reporter's question, or it was not a question, but a request.
I only heard Cai Ruichen say: "I promise you, you will board the plane with me later."
Ignoring the excited Huaxia reporters, Cai Ruichen said to all the reporters: "Don't ask such questions again, because I will directly refuse."
Afterwards, Cai Ruichen pointed casually again. Although the reporter who was pointed was very happy, but accompanied by great regret, he calmly asked: "Hello, Mr. Cai, I am the Washington Post's resident reporter in the Middle East Federation. Excuse me?" Will the hundreds of experts who went to the space station this time be permanently stationed in the space station?"
"For the first batch of experts and engineers going to the space station, only forty will be permanently stationed in the space station, and the remaining sixty will take Space Shuttle One on the space station to go to the moon base and stay permanently at the moon base .” Cai Ruichen replied.
Cai Ruichen's answer was like throwing a huge boulder onto the calm water, causing hundreds of reporters on the scene to exclaim.
Future Technology Group currently has two major space projects known to the world, one is the future sky city, and the other is the lunar base established on the moon.
It has been more than a year since the construction of the lunar base. Under the construction of a large number of robots, the scale of the lunar base is already very large.
Previously, foreign outsiders were also wondering when the Future Technology Group would start sending personnel to the moon, but now, the answer seems to have appeared.
As the outside world has always speculated, the Future Technology Group will definitely send personnel to the moon, but it is not known when the normal survival of human beings on the moon will be truly realized.
"May I ask Mr. Cai, does this indicate that human beings have realized the dream of interstellar migration." The next reporter asked.
"Yes, interstellar immigration is no longer an unattainable dream for us now, but has already come true." Cai Ruichen replied very positively.
"May I ask Mr. Cai, will the moon base open up jobs for ordinary people to immigrate in the future?" the next reporter asked.
"This is inevitable. The moon in the future will become the second home of mankind. This time, the 60 experts who went to the moon base include all kinds of talents, a large number of seeds, and a fully automated robot production line. At that time, the lunar base will be expanded to a scale that can accommodate tens of thousands of people to live and work." Cai Ruichen replied.
"Mr. Cai, will the first batch of immigrants to the moon be restricted to citizens of the Middle East Federation?" the next reporter asked.
This issue is very critical. Of course, immigration does not mean that it is an absolute benefit, but it is always a matter of great concern to the world.
"The candidates for the first batch of immigrants, according to my opinion, will accept all suitable people from all over the world, professionals in this field, because the real lunar homeland may require several generations to build and work together, so they are hardworking and have skills. , and those who can contribute to the construction of the lunar home are within our scope of choice."
Cai Ruichen did not answer this question directly, but answered it very pertinently based on practical effects. No one can say that this answer is wrong or dissatisfied, so everything proceeds from reality.
Similarly, this answer also tells the whole world that I, Cai Ruichen, do not only look at the Middle East Federation, and that any suitable person may become a candidate for interstellar immigration.
"May I ask Mr. Cai, the future sky city is so huge, and there is a second phase of construction plan, may I ask whether the future sky city will really be a city in the sky?" The reporter's question turned back to today's core in focus.
"The complete plan of the future space station is to build a city in the sky that can accommodate a large number of people. Unfortunately, after all, the city in the sky still undertakes a large number of space exploration tasks, so it will not be freely open to the outside world. People living on it , will be the staff and relatives in Sky City in the future. As for what the future Sky City will look like, I have nothing more to disclose at the moment." Cai Ruichen replied.
In the future, the Sky City will have very heavy tasks, not to mention that it is not suitable for outsiders to stay for a long time. Even if many people can live in it, Cai Ruichen will not open it to the outside world, so that the families and staff of the Red Police Corps Living is almost the same.
What's more, the future sky city will be an armed fortress. From the second stage, it will begin to arm the future sky city so that it has the ability to protect itself and also has the ability to become an air and sky fortress .
As for these, it is naturally impossible for Cai Ruichen to disclose too much to the outside world. After all, technology and civilian use are completely different from military technology.
After answering these questions, Cai Ruichen also stopped the reporter's questions, because the departure time was approaching, and he was about to board the plane.
The reporters who didn't have a chance to ask questions could only shake their heads regretfully. At the same time, all the reporters looked at the two colleagues behind Cai Ruichen with envy, and the envy in their eyes seemed to turn into substance.
