Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 344 Nantianmen Phase II Project

Zhong Cheng took a sip of water and continued to introduce his plan.

The development of Mars requires the manufacture of spaceships with loads of hundreds of thousands of tons to transport a large amount of materials and personnel to the space station above Mars.

Then through the center of the space station, it will turn to the ground of Mars to deliver materials and personnel.

According to this plan, the first thing to do is to build a space elevator on the earth, and then rely on the space elevator to build a space station for assembling spaceships.

The assembly components of the spacecraft are transported from the ground to the space station for assembly.

The second step is to send Luanniao aerospace planes to land on Mars in advance, build a Mars exploration base, establish a Mars satellite communication network, and collect the most detailed Martian geography and astronomy data.

In the third step, the spacecraft arrives at Mars, starts to build the space elevator on Mars, and starts the large-scale development of Mars at the same time.

"hiss!"

The participants gasped. Everyone was shocked by Zhong Cheng's huge space development plan. Isn't this equivalent to carrying out large-scale construction on Earth and Mars at the same time?
The two space elevators on Earth and Mars, as well as the supporting large-scale space station, as well as the spaceship and the construction on the ground, such a super-large-scale construction will definitely require astronomical figures.

Moreover, in the first seven or eight years of construction, there will be no benefits. Can Red Star Company afford such a huge investment?
After Zhong Cheng's introduction, Zhao Wei first raised this question that everyone cared about.

Zhong Cheng smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he took out a mobile storage device, connected it to an optical computer, and showed everyone the list of contents.

Yang Xi was the first to realize, "This is the construction data of the space station and spaceship!"

Zhong Cheng nodded, "This is the most complete relevant information of Solar System Power Company and Xingwang Company, which can save us a lot of construction time and investment, and also reduce the risk of engineering construction."

"Therefore, the initial goal of this construction plan can be completed within four to five years, and the investment is less than expected, which the company can fully afford."

This unexpected surprise made the participants excited, and everyone talked a lot, thinking that in this way, Zhong Cheng's plan is completely possible to realize.

Zhong Cheng saw that everyone was talking about it, and he motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"I will strive to formulate a specific implementation plan before the end of October, because the main project of this project is to build a space elevator and a space station. The name should still be called the Nantianmen Project, but for the sake of distinction, it is called the second phase of the Nantianmen Project."

In myths and legends, the Nantian Gate is the entrance to the human world and the fairy world. In the myths and stories, most of the stories happened are related to the human world. There are many legends about the Nantian Gate.

In "Journey to the West", the Nantianmen is below Nanfangbuzhou, which is Dongtu Tang Dynasty.

The space elevator and space station built in the second phase of the Nantianmen project are the entrance of the earth to the universe and the starry sky, and are the "Nantianmen" in reality.

But Zhong Cheng named it this way mainly to commemorate the Nantianmen project that built the Qinglong aircraft carrier.

Next, Zhong Cheng made arrangements for the preliminary preparations for the second phase of the Nantianmen project.

In order to avoid suspicion, the start date of the project is set after the Spring Festival in 2034 next year, which is after the federal regulations on lifting the ban on space come into force.

Before that, a lot of preparatory work needs to be done.

Chen Peng and Fu Huaquan are responsible for the preparation of funds, materials and personnel required for the implementation of the project;
Jiang Shaohua took the lead in the application and examination of the company's space development qualifications, and was responsible for communicating and explaining with small and medium shareholders;
Lin Hansheng and Zheng Yilun will take over Zhong Cheng's responsibility in the third phase of the West Sea Project and continue the subsequent desertification land reconstruction project;
Zhou Hu and Chen Qiang are equally responsible for maintaining the normal operation of Red Star's existing manufacturing business;
The Kunlun Research Institute will transfer its main force to the second phase of the Nantianmen project, and Zhong Cheng will personally arrange the specific tasks.

After he let Zhao Wei, Yang Xi, and Lin Wei go down, he first publicized the spirit of the meeting with the people below, and made preparations first.

In the end, Zhong Xing asked Shi Hanxing to go to Haicheng to find Yang Shuzhen and Lu Yao, tell them the decision of the meeting, and report to the Federal Space Affairs Administration.

After hearing Zhong Cheng's arrangement, those who could participate in the project were overjoyed, while those who could not participate were a little discouraged.

But there is no way for this kind of thing. It is impossible for everyone to rush to develop space. Red Star Company still has such a large project on the earth, and someone must take care of it.

However, Zhong Cheng said that the development of Mars will be arranged in this way first, and when Venus and Mercury are developed later, everyone will rotate according to the situation and try to give everyone the opportunity to participate.

In Zhong Cheng's vision, as long as the sky elevator on the earth is completed, massive supplies and personnel can be sent out of the earth through this 'South Heaven Gate'.

After the development of Mars began to take shape, the projects of developing Venus and Mercury were carried out at the same time. The main purpose of Red Star's development of space is not to make profits, as long as it has the ability, it will go all out.

His goal is to lead mankind out of the solar system in his lifetime.

Human life is limited, and the universe is too vast, so we must race against time!
Zhong Cheng's last speech aroused everyone's enthusiasm, expressing that he must do well the work assigned by the chairman.

……

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng asked Liu Yuzhu to bring Jiang Yan to meet him.

Not long after Zhong Cheng returned to the office, Liu Yuzhu and his wife came.

Liu Yuzhu smiled playfully, but Jiang Yan was not in a good mood, and nestled on the sofa as soon as he entered the office.

Zhong Cheng pulled Liu Yuzhu to sit down in front of Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Yan, I came here today to discuss your work issues!"

"what?"

Jiang Yan regained his energy when he heard the words, "Don't you need to be that vice principal?"

Liu Yuzhu pulled Jiang Yan, "Honey, what's wrong with the vice-principal of Red Star University, don't embarrass the boss!"

Jiang Yan pushed Liu Yuzhu's hand away, "You think it's good, then go!"

"This?!" Liu Yuzhu replied embarrassingly: "Is this something we decided on? Listen to the boss's arrangement!"

"All right!"

Zhong Cheng interrupted the quarrel between the two, "Jiang Yan, if you really don't want to go, forget it!"

"Really?" Jiang Yan asked in surprise.

Liu Yuzhu was in a hurry, "Honey, if you don't go to Red Star University, then what are you doing? Now the research institute doesn't develop weapons anymore!"

"You?!" Jiang Yan wanted to get angry, but it was true that she was stuck.

"Zhuzi, can you stop interrupting and listen to me!"

Zhong Chengcheng regretted why he didn't talk to Jiang Yan alone, and Liu Yuzhu was just adding to the chaos by following him.

Liu Yuzhu quickly closed his mouth and waved his hands, indicating that he would never interrupt again.

Zhong Cheng raised two fingers, "Jiang Yan, I'll give you two tasks!"

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and replied, "Mr. Zhong, just arrange it!"

"One is to continue to optimize the White Tiger mecha, focusing on the combat needs in the outer space environment. I will give you specific requirements. The second is to study individual weapons that can deal with the mecha."

"what?"

Liu Yuzhu and his wife exclaimed in unison.

Jiang Yan glared at Liu Yuzhu, then turned to Zhong Cheng and asked, "I can understand the first mission, but what about the second mission?"

Zhong Cheng laughed, they must have misunderstood, they thought that mechs were only available in the Asian Federation.

What does Zhong Cheng want to do to study individual weapons against mechs?
