Tower Defense Strategy

Chapter 231: Go to space (4)

The current situation makes some people at the National Academy of Sciences feel deeply worried.

The aliens are very cooperative and give what they lack, but as far as Country C is concerned, they are making a huge impact on the entire scientific research system.

If many research institutes do not consider the trial-and-error value of research materials, more than ten years of research work will be in vain. With the increasing number of application-level alien technologies, the entire scientific research system of Country C is facing the need for major changes.

However, this is only the worry of a few people. Country C is good at grasping the main contradictions. In the process of resolving the main contradictions, some additional problems arise, which can be carried forward.

The most important thing is the selection of astronauts.

The unexpected and reasonable thing happened. Bai Qing, chairman of 2021 Heavy Industry, was selected for the latest batch of astronaut training.

Why did you find such a person?

First, long-term participation in extreme sports such as rock climbing has made Bai Qing's physical fitness and heart stronger than many men. The future space station needs a social environment formed by a certain male to female ratio to maintain mental health.

Second, Bai Qing has management experience in large-scale manufacturing companies. She is certainly not the only young man with management experience, but she must be one of the very few with the best physical fitness in this group.

The third is the key point. Because of the business relationship before and after the restructuring, there are many qualified people in the system. Knowing that there is someone with a reliable background like her, of course, there is no need to go to the society to screen and waste time.

After a little communication, Bai Qing was also extremely shocked by the progress of Alien Technology, and immediately agreed.

As for work handover, she still needs to go through a period of ground training, which can be handled slowly.

The remaining quota, which is about fifty people, was gathered from all walks of life inside and outside the system in a similar way.

Then the space system recruited astronauts, and the initial trial training quota was two hundred.

The number is a lot more than the one hundred people mentioned above, because before the trial training, only the physical condition and basic mental state can be screened. In the process, many psychological evaluations and ideologies that fail to pass are also brushed out. Especially for the latter, if someone goes to the space station with malicious intent to destroy it, the loss is not a country of country C, and it is possible that the fire of hope for the earth ball will be extinguished.

In addition to domestic selection and recruitment, this astronaut selection also involves countries R and F, which are the countries where the two foreign astronauts are located.

There is a special mention of Country F, which is very chicken thief.

Frederick Albert, a young botanist, represents the West Central Community, but his nationality is country F. He discovered that country C began to build in space. He did not directly report to his boss, but instead. Domestic F country.

When Country F thinks about it, we are no longer on the ball. The status of permanent members is often ignored by those three countries. It is impossible to find a suitable excuse to punish country E, the old rival for hundreds of years.

But as the first batch of franchisees in space, there will always be a bit of status in the future.

Therefore, country F did not tell anyone that it secretly negotiated with country C and will later provide a group of candidate astronauts to country C for training.

The matter of training in country C is required by country C. In addition, it is also required that the trainees must be able to speak the C language, at least with a certain foundation.

It's not about being a space hegemon, it's mainly for work.

Foreigners don’t know that in order to catch up, more than 90% of the standards of the new space station will use the information provided by the aliens, and the remaining less than 10% will also be used for effective cooperation with existing space stations.

And these are different from the existing aerospace standards of all mankind. There are no standard parts in foreign countries. What training should we talk about?

At the same time, with the huge amount of information, there is no time to accurately translate it into the languages ​​of various countries for a while. It is still necessary for foreigners to understand our Mandarin in order to master the knowledge faster.

Then why not cooperate with the whole world?

It's not about training ability yet.

The aerospace system of country C originally only served dozens of astronauts. Some core training facilities cannot be increased in the short term due to emergency expansion, addition, and requisition. To the limit.

On the other hand, if there are too many countries involved, the management of the space station will become a big problem. The basic management rules of the new space station still need to be explored. If the contradiction of the earth ball is brought up, it will be impossible to do anything.

Therefore, we still use the more familiar management method of country C, with native people as the main group, and bringing a few foreigners. It is really noisy, and then the minority will obey the majority.

While the emergency training on the ground, the new space station is changing day by day in space.

In the next half month, country C sent a total of two hundred tons of building materials, equipment, and supplies for the new space station.

There are ten astronauts above, and they are simply too busy. Most of the materials and equipment are left on the docking port of the original space station in a bundled and docked manner. The astronauts are mainly responsible for building the core area of ​​the new space station.

After a series of on-site experiments and astronaut Q&A, the aerospace department assembled the relevant research institutes of the Academy of Sciences and urgently proposed a set of drawings of the new space station, which passed the internal meeting for review.

According to this design drawing, the total volume of the core area is 1,800 cubic meters, the main space area reaches 300 square meters, and the height reaches 3.2 meters, which is a little higher than the floor height of ordinary high-rise residential buildings. It has a full sense of space and a lot of accommodation equipment. , The auxiliary space of the facility.

In addition to the main space as a visual hall and a temporary storage point for internal goods, the specific functions are divided into five categories.

The first is the two main docking points on the same side of the space station.

This is a new type of docking point designed for the standard of extraterrestrial data. It is different from the existing docking point with a diameter of only a few tens of centimeters, which can only barely allow people to float in.

The size of the main docking door is a little larger than the elevator door, which is enough to carry equipment of a certain size inside. The cargo can also be loaded in a slightly larger container, which is even larger than the air container on the ground. It is in the space station. The container can be directly stuck on the wall as a cabinet.

The distance between the two main docking doors is 20 meters, which reserves sufficient space for the spacecraft to change shape.

The other side of the main docking point is the escape area, which is also used to dock the existing space docking module.

There is a two-meter-wide passage with upper and lower floors. It is expected to be able to connect sixteen escape cabins/supply cabins, and the hatches required for expansion are reserved. Only the passage needs to be extended during expansion.

The third part is the control center. A small space of 60 square meters is located above the main space. It is necessary to climb the stairs. In the space station, climbing the vertical stairs is not considered physical activity. , Internal monitoring, posture adjustment and other functions are temporarily placed here.

After the expansion of the space station in the future, the control center will be in charge of attitude adjustment, ground communication and basic power support.

The fourth part is cabin management.

The standard of alien data is also used, and the compartment management is similar to the docking. In the event of a serious accident, certain compartments can be abandoned, and the core area is set up with one compartment before and after the management.

The cabin management area includes cabin doors, cabin power responsible for posture adjustment, power battery compartment, fire-fighting appliance cabinet, etc.

The fifth part is the exit area.

The exit area is a general term, including the space suit changing area, the pressure chamber, the external hatch, and the in-vehicle/extra-vehicle equipment area. It is more complicated than the decompression area of ​​the existing aerospace system, but fragmented wrenches and the like. There are fewer little things.

Except for the five types of functional areas, there are almost 500 cubic meters of pre-designed equipment, pipelines, and gas storage space. Almost there are core cabins the size of nearly forty compartments in the past. They do not even include food, living, experimentation, and personal. Sanitation has only the basic function of purely serving the main body of the space station. Looking at the size of the core cabin, it is clear that country C is going to build a miracle.

For safety reasons, most of the floors, supporting structures, and mezzanine walls in the core area are made of ultra-lightweight aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, and plastic to slightly reduce weight. However, the "brick wall" is used as the inner wall of the space station. The thickness is increased to one centimeter. After being coated with bulletproof cloth, it needs to be filled with an extra layer of hardened foam.

The core cabin does not have housing and personal hygiene functions, so where do the new astronauts come to live?

This depends on a few small things that were done before.

The sixty cubic square box rooms built in the early stage will not be wasted. A cabin management unit is added to connect the four square boxes. As the first cabin section connected to the core area, they will be transformed into basic living, The space for exercise and personal hygiene is expected to be able to accommodate ten people when the renovation is completed.

It means that only living, sanitation, and exercise space can reach 20 cubic meters per capita.

Although it is not comparable to the ground, it is definitely larger than the previous space stations. Besides, if the space is small, I just go to the core area and stop in the main space.

In this construction plan, when the number of astronauts reaches about 100, it will consider further improving the living conditions. Everything is for the follow-up space factory service, and the living conditions should not slow down the progress there.

The construction of the core module kept ten astronauts too busy.

Although most of the functions are modular, such as the toilet parts, it includes some buffer wall finishes and pipe connections, and no additional screws are required during installation. But even so, even the two astronauts from country R and country F can get out of the cabin to help transport building materials, and the other soldiers from military backgrounds have become hard labor.

However, watching the function of the new space station become more and more complete day by day, the joy of the astronauts ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can still make them survive for the time being.

On the ground, the production of rockets, cargo, and materials were arranged, and then another part was considered.

Breaking through the atmosphere is always too costly.

Is it possible to collect some resources from the moon?

It stands to reason that with existing materials, opening a site on the moon is no longer a problem, but there are many problems.

Delivery from the moon to orbit, although not much fuel is required, it also requires fuel ten times the weight of the cargo. If you start from the surface of the moon, it will cost more.

How much capacity is needed for the moon to have basic resource extraction and processing capabilities, how to solve the energy consumption of water electrolysis fuel, and so on.

Or, ask the aliens again?

The Academy of Sciences still has self-esteem. Compared with the information already obtained, this kind of thing is not a problem.

After several rounds of debate, the Academy of Sciences decided to tow the asteroid as a reserve resource for the new space station!
