781 Center Director’s Office.
Su Yichen sat on the sofa and looked through a document handed over by Mr.
Tian.
He had just rushed back to the capital from the northwest and was taken back to the 781 center as soon as he got off the plane.
Even Luo Yan didn't have time to meet him before he went directly to Mr.
Tian's place.
A space station, also called a space station, space station or orbital station, is a manned spacecraft that operates in low-Earth orbit for a long time and can be used by multiple astronauts to visit, work and live for a long time.
The concept of the space station came from an article published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1869.
In 1929, a book called The Problem of Space Travel was published.
The content put forward bold ideas for the concept of the space station.
During World War II, Germany secretly studied a solar-powered orbital weapon. , the so-called "solar cannon", and this kind of solar cannon is actually a type of space station.
In 1969, the United States' Apollo 11 was the first to land on the moon.
The Soviet Union fell behind in the space race to the moon with the United States.
As a result, the Soviet Union turned its main goal to other aspects to demonstrate the Soviet Union's space capabilities, and this main goal was the space station.
Salyut 1 launched by the Soviet Union in 1971 was mankind's first space station.
The most famous space station is the Mir space station launched by the Soviet Union in 1986.
The Mir space station was successfully launched in 1986 and remained in service until 2001.
Over the years, astronauts from many countries have visited this famous space station.
Following the Mir space station, the first component of the International Space Station was successfully launched in 1998 and began operation smoothly.
China launched its first small space station, Tiangong-1, in 2011, becoming the third country after the United States and Russia to independently launch a space station.
According to the plan, China will successively dock Shenzhou 8, Shenzhou 9, Shenzhou 10 spacecraft and Tiangong 1 to build a complete space station and space laboratory.
Now, the document Su Yichen is holding in his hand is the American space station plan.
He is looking at this plan.
Su Yichen couldn't help but frowned slightly.
He didn't understand that Mr.
Tian was so anxious to get him back because of this joint space structure space station plan.
Although Su Yichen is not a professional in astronomy and aerospace, he still has some understanding of this aspect due to his work.
The United States proposed the Joint Space Structure Space Station project a few years ago.
According to the design, the new space station will be mushroom-shaped and will rotate around a vertical axis.
It rotates 422 times per minute to create artificial gravity.
The plan has begun to be implemented.
This space station, which is similar to a space mushroom, is expected to cost US$300 billion.
The overall structure is 100 meters in diameter and about 400 meters long.
It is the largest space station plan so far.
"Is there any problem with this?"
Su Yichen asked with some confusion.
He couldn't see any problem with the space station plan that had already started.
“Wrong time” "time" After hearing Mr.
Tian's answer, Su Yichen asked in confusion.
Only then did Mr.
Tian reveal the mystery.
According to the original joint space structure space station plan, it will take up to 30 years to complete the entire space station.
However, not long ago, news from special channels confirmed that the United States is accelerating the construction of space mushrooms.
The United States will spend 30 years on The construction time was shortened to 5 years or even less, and this information immediately attracted great attention from the country.
"Five years," Su Yichen asked incredulously, and Mr.

Tian nodded heavily.
He couldn't help but think silently.
Although the core technology of the United Space Structure space station is unknown, a complete space is a huge project from construction to completion.
What's more, the structure of the entire space station, including its components, is extremely complex, coupled with the energy and power of the space station and the configuration of each laboratory, etc., how could it be possible in just 5 years?
Unless the Americans only build the outline of a space station in 5 years and then do some preliminary configuration, this may be so-so.
But this space station will definitely not meet the original plan needs.
"Isocontour Energy Preliminary Configuration" Su Yichen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility.
If this was possible, then it would not be unfeasible to complete the joint space structure space station within five years.
"Controllable thermonuclear fusion technology" Su Yichen and Mr.
Tian said this answer at the same time, although they had expected it.
But when it was confirmed that the Americans had mastered controllable thermonuclear fusion technology, both Mr.
Tian and Su Yichen felt a little heavy.
And more importantly, the sudden acceleration of the construction of the United Space Structure Space by the Americans is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Su Yichen instantly thought of the Pluto base.
If the United States uses the United Space Structure Space Station to build spaceships, then It's like building a plank road in the open and hiding in Chencang secretly.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
Using the joint space structure space station as a cover, it is actually building a huge spacecraft near the earth, and then using controllable thermonuclear fusion as a power engine.
Su Yichen put forward his judgment.
Mr.
Tian was not surprised by this judgment.
In fact, after receiving the news, the intelligence department also conducted a detailed analysis of it, and the conclusion it reached was roughly equivalent to Su Yichen's judgment.
This is also the main reason why Mr.
Tian specially called Su Yichen back from the northwest, because judging from the current situation, the Americans are already preparing to land on Pluto.
Mr.
Tian asked Su Yichen about the progress of Project Alpha.
Although Mr.
Tian did not directly express the reason why he asked this question, Su Yichen knew very well that Mr.
Tian asked about this matter in response to the plans that the United States had launched.
Project Alpha is proceeding fairly smoothly.
The miniaturization, simplification and safety of the controllable thermonuclear fusion device are proceeding step by step.
According to Su Yichen's plan, if everything goes well, it can be completed in about two to three years, but if it is to be fully achieved When it comes to using the spacecraft engine, I'm afraid it's not that easy.
Judging from this point alone, it will take at least seven to ten years to complete the entire Alpha Project.
"Maybe we can learn from the Americans."
Seeing disappointment on Mr.
Tian's face, Su Yichen thought for a while and said.
"How to say"
Pointing to the document he had read before, Su Yichen said: "If I guessed correctly, the reason why the Americans did this was actually to avoid the instability of the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine when the spacecraft was launched.
They used the space station project to The combination of spacecraft in low-Earth orbit avoids various problems caused by various environmental changes such as gravity, vibration, friction, and temperature when launched from the earth.
This idea is very desirable. " "You mean we should also follow the Americans' method of building space stations to complete Project Alpha?"
Mr.
Tian frowned and asked, but before Su Yichen could answer, he shook his head: "This is unlikely.
Compared with developed countries, "The United States, we are far behind in space construction, and the United States' advantage in the International Space Station is incomparable to ours.
Furthermore, we can't hide it from the Americans by using the space station as a cover to build spacecraft."
Mr.
Tian didn't say any more, but Su Yichen already understood what he meant.

But the problem is that if we don't follow the example of the Americans in building spacecraft in low-Earth orbit, it may be difficult to complete Project Alpha ahead of schedule.
Now, the United States has chosen a shortcut, but Su Yichen has to catch up with the opponent step by step.
Compared with the two, it is extremely difficult. big.
"Besides this method, do you have any other way to speed up the plan?"
Mr.
Tian asked anxiously.
Once the United States takes advantage of it, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
In any case, China must complete Project Alpha before the United States and launch a spacecraft capable of space navigation.
Su Yichen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Science is step-by-step.
Although he knew the theory and direction, it was simply fanciful to complete the Alpha Project in such a short period of time.
But the current situation they are facing is also very serious.
The United States has already gone ahead of them.
So what if Project Alpha is completed by then?
Perhaps the American spacecraft will have been completed in low-Earth orbit by then.
"There is another way."
Su Yichen thought for a long time and finally spoke, but under Mr.
Tian's eager eyes, Su Yichen said with a wry smile: "But this method is risky, and maybe the superiors will not agree." s: Here comes the second update.
I wish everyone a happy weekend.
