Chapter 844 Clean Space Alliance!

In the conference room, everyone was looking at the first version of the "Alliance" information. Although the information in it did not involve technology, it was still very important and would reveal the main theme and tone of the Alliance.

The Clean Space Alliance aims to maintain orbital cleanliness and calls on responsible countries and aerospace companies to develop outer space in an orderly, environmentally friendly manner that complies with science and international rules.

As explained at the beginning, the average lifespan of satellites is only three years, but nearly a thousand satellites are launched around the world every year, and they are still growing at an extremely fast rate.

These large and small satellites move at extremely fast speeds in orbit. Even if they expire beyond their design life, they will still exist in orbit for decades or even longer.

Coupled with "non-recovery rockets", more or less garbage will be left in orbit.

With the speed of human development and dependence on satellite technology, it won’t be long before the orbit will be overrun with stars.

Orbital debris cannot be observed, controlled, or contacted, and its trajectory changes slowly, making it extremely dangerous. In recent years, the International Space Station has observed numerous passes by orbiting debris.

If we don’t plan for it, in the future, before humans even get out of the cradle of the earth, their way to the stars will be blocked by the garbage patches they created.

I am too talented (hand over to the upper right corner) and have the exclusive "satellite recovery/capture" capability, but we are selfless and care about environmental protection. We decided to break stereotypes and stand up to share our capabilities with other countries to jointly maintain orbital cleanliness.

Well. The main idea is this. This flag is definitely raised high enough. Environmental protection, technology, and the future of mankind are all stacked with buffs.

If you don't occupy the moral high ground, why don't you keep burning paper?

Under this theme, the "Clean Space Alliance" has moral blessings. Those who do not follow the "rules" to develop outer space will naturally stand on a moral low and can be criticized and questioned.

Zhou Rui said: "The first topic: At present, the China Space Administration and our company have reached a cooperation. In the next five years, we will try to clean up at least 20 tons of expired satellite garbage in our country, making a contribution to world environmental protection, and We promise that the total amount of re-railed waste will never exceed 100 tons.

"I hope all members can also join this plan."

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Badie: Do you have satellites?

Ryukyu: I don’t have one!

UAE: What is the magnitude of 100 tons! If I want to have 100 tons of space junk, why should I be awesome?

Mongolia: What are they talking about? Damn it, I don’t understand!

Obviously, this plan is not aimed at small aerospace countries.

Waving the flag and shouting from behind is enough.

Khalid couldn't help but feel that this taste was too authentic.

Just like the concept of "carbon emissions" that has become very popular in recent years, a concept that has not appeared for hundreds of years has suddenly appeared. It is waving the banner of environmental protection and hitting it wherever it is directed.

All wealthy countries have been affected. They are said to be the source of all evils of global carbon emissions, but no one mentions that the United States consumes the largest amount of oil in the world and still has the spare capacity to export the second largest amount of oil in the world.

No one mentions places like Canada and Australia. If a wildfire burns for several months, the carbon emissions exceed the total of all underdeveloped countries in the world.

The worst thing is that in some African countries, tens of thousands of people starve to death a year due to widespread famine. They finally have some signs of industry, but they are pointed at their noses and accused of destroying the environment.

Khalid couldn't help but wonder, will "tons of re-railed garbage" become a new concept like "carbon emissions" in the future?

He remembered that Mr. Zhou only established this alliance after being attacked by the C**, and it was indeed very targeted.

It's just that everyone is raising their swords, some people are swinging them upwards, and some are swinging them downwards.

Mr. Zhou was obviously kind and did not embarrass small and backward countries, but pointed his finger at developed countries.

After a simple vote, the first issue was unanimously approved, and all first-generation members joined the agreement to restrain and supervise each other.

Including Mongolia who didn't understand, he licked his face and asked the person next to him in English, but he got a general idea.

Anyway, this limit value shouldn't be too far away from them.

As long as I'm short enough, the knife can't hit my head.

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, then the second topic: In order to better maintain the orbital environment and grasp the dynamics of orbital garbage, the alliance needs everyone to actively declare each launch plan, as well as past historical launch information, to facilitate us Screening.”

This may sound harsh, but it is the least important, because the current mainstream international space organizations require reporting of satellite launch information to prevent fights with each other.

Non-civilian satellites are not included in this list, including military satellites, space satellites, and reconnaissance satellites.

It’s a threshold project for all aerospace organizations. If you don’t declare it to me, what’s the point of joining?

None of the people here had any objections.

The first two issues are constraints, and it’s time to give some sweet dates.

Only with sweet dates can we urge member states to strictly abide by the agreement and seduce outside member states.

"The third topic: In order to balance the development potential of the aerospace industry and implement the alliance's principle of mutual assistance, alliance members can obtain scientific research support through prior application, including but not limited to remote guidance, personnel deployment, testing assistance, and design discussions. .”

This can be regarded as a groundbreaking move, because other international aerospace organizations basically do not help each other.

Even if there is scientific research cooperation, it is just playing under the card table.

This is why even a funding warrior like the Chief of the United States has been a layman in the aerospace industry for so many years, and can only get in but not enter.

The eyes of the expert of the Chief of the United States Space Agency lit up and raised his hand and said: "Does it include Taiyi Tiangong?"

Zhou Rui spread his hands: "Of course, we are also part of the alliance. When I have free time, I can also help."

This one is actually mainly proposed for the China Space Administration. Since the "Wolf Act" came into effect, the communication between China's aerospace and the outside world has dropped sharply. The West is basically in step, and various projects exclude China.

Science ultimately needs communication to open up ideas. Although these countries are weak at present, going out for a stroll will also help their own growth.

Moreover, these member states were guided by China Aerospace during the early work, so they naturally became the first choice when launching.

Taiyi Tiangong also joined in the fun, just sending a few people on business trips, or even without business trips, video guidance will do.

If he is in a good mood, he may also give a few pointers.

I heard that Master Zhou may personally participate in the guidance! Even remote guidance is a huge temptation.

Isn't this awesome?

This alone is a fatal attraction for these small space-faring countries.

Zhou Rui then raised the fourth topic, which was still a big news, or a big sweet date.

"In the future, Nantianmen will carry out regular launches at a frequency of about once a month. It is planned to expand the area of ​​the No. 1 platform to at least 1,000 square meters, and then start building the No. 2 platform."

"The No. 2 platform, tentatively named the 'Qian Xuesen Orbital Platform', will be mainly aimed at carrying space scientific research projects. At that time, there will be a 'Scientific Research Project Catalog' disclosed. All member states can apply to join. They only need to abide by other conventions of the alliance, and in principle they will not be rejected."

It is an honor for Taiyi Tiangong to be named after Mr. Qian, and it has also been consulted with the organization. This platform will become a semi-open platform dedicated to scientific research projects.

Explore the mysteries of the universe without involving specific secrets.

This will also be one of the most important attractions of the "Clean Space Alliance". Whether non-member countries really want to participate in scientific research or want to peek into the technology of Nantianmen, it is very tempting.

It is difficult to land on the International Space Station, but it is much easier to use the "Qian Xuesen Platform". Even if some countries are unwilling to join due to political considerations, their own scientific communities will form a considerable driving force.

After that, the meeting entered a fast-track mode, and each member country introduced its own space situation and what vision it has in the future.

So far, the first plenary meeting of the "Clean Space Alliance" has come to a successful conclusion. Everyone stood together, holding up the manual, and took a photo.

Zhou Rui will not be in charge of it from now on. Pakistan and Mongolia will have a visit to the space agency, which will be taken away by Li Changping.

The Ryukyu Space Agency will be disbanded on the spot, Shang Zhi will continue to stay in China to handle the affairs of the "Ryukyu Reconstruction Investment Committee", and Ong Chang Zhixiong will set off to return to the archipelago.

The rocket base belonging to Ryukyu is scheduled to start construction at the end of this year, with a construction period of 3-6 months.

——————

After sending most people away, Wanhu Base returned to silence.

After the launch was successful, Zhou Rui gave most people three days off except for the daily maintenance personnel, so there were not many people here at this time.

Zhou Rui looked back and saw Khalid waiting with a smile on his face, obviously waiting for a private chat.

But Zhou Rui had a miscellaneous job that he hadn't finished today.

He and Khalid were old acquaintances, and Zhou Rui suddenly had a little idea of ​​a prank, and greeted him: "I have a job on my hand, do you want to talk while you do it, or wait until later to sit down in the conference room and talk about it?"

Khalid naturally chose the former.

Compared to sitting in the conference room, doing something together is obviously easier to get closer and talk about the results.

And Mr. Zhou's job must be some high-tech project, which will broaden his horizons and benefit him endlessly.

Until he saw Zhou Rui changed into a set of rubber overalls and rode an electric tricycle to pick him up.

He also gave him the same set of clothes.

Old Butterfly is worthy of being an old butterfly. Without a trace of hesitation, he managed his expression perfectly. He took off his coat and put it on directly, and sat in Zhou Rui's passenger seat.

Zhou Rui drove the car along the edge of the Wanhu base to the fields in the east, and took two weeding tools from the truck bed: a small single-wheeled gadget that can be pushed and pushed down when encountering weeds to cut off the roots.

After instructing Khalid, the two of them started to weed one ridge at a time.

Then Ab and other followers of Khalid who followed him saw their own crown prince, who was sweating profusely in the fields, but dared not say anything.

After all, Mr. Zhou was also working in it.

Khalid: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to have such hobbies? Did you open up a field here?"

Zhou Rui weeded skillfully and said, "It's not a hobby, but Chinese people generally don't have any aversion to farming. Occasionally, I can change my mind by doing some farm work manually after work."

The rapeseed seeds in the field have begun to sprout, and the survival rate is not bad, which may be due to Zhou Rui's previous good land conditioning.

However, the open land is still a wasteland before, so it is inevitable that some weeds will grow. This is today's small job.

Zhou Rui said: "Your gift is very valuable, thank you in advance."

Khalid smiled: "It's just a little thought, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "I have to keep it in mind, and I will praise you so that you can continue in the future!"

Khalid was stunned.

Zhou Rui said, "I won't be polite with you. The Hunan Provincial Museum contacted me. I asked and found out that many of China's lost national treasures are only circulated in non-Chinese circles."

"The Shang Dynasty Fanglei has only appeared once in the past hundred years. I don't think such a beautiful thing has been hidden in the bottom of the box before. It's just that it's not in the same circle and the Chinese can't know about it."

"With your status, you are more informed than us in the collection world. If there are similar things in the future, please help me keep an eye out, but don't buy them as a rip-off. There is no reason to buy back things that have been robbed. Just have the location information, such as who it belongs to."

In the past, the Chinese exchanged precious foreign exchange for shirts and pairs of socks, but they had to buy back their own country's things from robbers.

Some people even used China's unique historical perspective and national sentiment to set up traps at auctions to strangle them.

But as the country's strength gradually increased, the era of buying back stolen national treasures with money has passed.

Most of the recovered cultural relics were facilitated through negotiations and political means.

Especially those that came from shady sources.

But this also indirectly prompted more national treasure transactions to be transferred to the back.

Zhou Rui said: "If there is news, let me know, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Khalid smiled cheerfully: "No problem."
