Chapter 866: Engaging in the Space Station Alone

The three short words of the space station seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and all the bases' eyes lit up, and almost all of them couldn't help but continue to squeeze forward, and they all wanted to get closer to Cai Ruichen.

"Excuse me, Dr. Cai, is the future space station a separate project of the Future Technology Group, or a joint project?"

Among the excited reporters, one of them asked loudly.

"The future space station is a project of the Future Technology Group. From technology to capital, it is all owned independently without any partners."

Cai Ruichen's answer once again caused an uproar. The space station is not a small project, but a scientific research project that burns a lot of money.

Huaxia is the only person in the world who is working on the Tiangong Space Station project, and the International Space Station project is a project jointly developed by all major international organizations in the world.

The space station needs a lot of money to improve and maintain every year, and few countries in the world can get this money every year.

When the International Space Station was first established, the United States excluded China from the space station plan because of fear of technology leaks, which led to China's own Tiangong project.

I thought it was impossible to carry out a third space station test project in this world, but I didn't expect that the Future Technology Group, which hadn't even heard of it before, suddenly wanted to build a space station project by itself.

This... is definitely one of the super news of the year. It is simply unbelievable that a company independently builds a space station.

You must know that the key projects and investments of companies and enterprises are all for making money, but the space station project does not have any money to make. The purpose is to let humans understand space and the universe better.

A space station project is at least tens of billions of dollars, requiring continuous investment for as long as ten or twenty years, and it also needs to transport astronauts up. Supplies, the cost, even countries like France and the United Kingdom, are unbearable.

The whole world knows that the Future Technology Group is rich. But come up with such a project. It really scared everyone.

After all, no matter how rich the Future Technology Group is, it may not be able to afford such a big project.

Just seeing Cai Ruichen's confident appearance, and the fact that the Future Aerospace Corporation has made many breakthroughs in human space technology over the past year, many reporters also fell silent.

"Did the Iraqi government not participate in this project?" another reporter asked.

"As I said, this is Future Technology Group's own project. There is no second party involved. After the basic structure of the space station is stabilized, our astronauts will also stay in the space station for a long time." Cai Ruichen replied.

"Then I would like to ask Dr. Cai, what kind of scale will the future space station reach in the future, and what kind of scientific experiments will it mainly conduct?"

"The size of the future space station will be determined based on funding and needs. The goal of building a space station is to better understand the solar system and the universe, crack the code of the universe, and observe the natural environment of the earth."

After Cai Ruichen answered this question, he turned around and left. A large number of reporters originally wanted to ask questions, but they could only swallow all the words.

Accidentally interviewed Cai Ruichen. For them, this is already a good harvest, especially the news about the space station this time is definitely no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake for the development of the global space field.

The achievements of Future Technology Group in the field of space technology have been talked about for more than a year.

However, the news of the future space station is still great news for the whole world.

No one has ever thought that such a large project could appear in the hands of a company, and it still has not cooperated with any party.

You must know that the European Space Agency does not have such funds to independently build a space station, but only jointly build an international space station with the United States, Russia, Japan and other countries.

Many reporters couldn't wait to spread the news as soon as possible, and even directly applied for the permission to live broadcast the simultaneous launch of the two launch vehicles this time.

Launching two launch vehicles at the same time is also a good news material in itself.

Cai Ruichen, who entered the control center, did not pay attention to these reporters. He was also on a whim, otherwise he would rarely accept interviews under normal circumstances.

It wasn't that he was cold and disdainful of reporters, but that he really didn't have that kind of time and mood. If something happened, he had a team to help him announce important news and decisions.

But this time, Cai Ruichen didn't intend to make a high-profile announcement about the future space station, and he didn't need to publicize it.

After the successful launch of the launch vehicle and the docking of the two most basic capsules of the future space station, the whole world will soon know.

At that time, the media from all over the world will naturally report on this matter.

Therefore, before this, Future Technology Group has never taken the initiative to announce this matter.

When I came to the control center, hundreds of staff were already conducting the final inspection before launch.

It is not a simple matter to launch two launch vehicles at the same time. The two launch vehicles must maintain the same speed and orbit, and it is necessary to calculate the coordination of the two launch vehicles during the flight.

It is ensured that the two launch vehicles will not interfere with each other due to the airflow during simultaneous launch.

However, for a future aerospace company that has more than a dozen successful launch and recovery experiences, there are no technical difficulties in launching two launch vehicles at the same time.

Not to mention launching two rockets at the same time, it is no problem to launch four and eight carrier rockets at the same time. After all, there are eight launch platforms for launch vehicles in the Future Satellite Launch Center at the same time.

It's not that Future Aerospace is incapable of launching eight launch vehicles at one time, it's just a question of whether it is necessary to launch so many launch vehicles together.

Cai Ruichen's arrival did not affect everyone inside, and everyone stayed in their respective positions.

Launching the launch vehicle is only the first step. What really bothers everyone is whether the two space capsules launched at the same time can complete the docking in space. As long as the first space capsule and the second space capsule are successfully docked, then The first step of the future space station is perfectly completed.

I have experience in launching launch vehicles, but docking space capsules is still a new challenge for future aerospace companies.

Moreover, the entire technology has not been borrowed from other countries, and everything is based on the technology of the base.

Naturally, there is no problem with the technology of the base, but the actual application of these technologies still needs to be quite careful. (to be continued ~^~)
