A big country of aerospace with black technology

"Don't worry about this for now."

Zhang Xingyang thought for a while and then ordered.

“The pile of applications I screened still need to be screened again.”

"It is estimated that a special unit will be set up to deal with this matter. You can help me contact a few people first."

Zhang Xingyang then said a few names.

They are all leaders in aerospace interdisciplinary subjects.

He is a master in every industry.

I had not expected so many people to apply.

So there are no dedicated reviewers at all.

Occasionally there are two copies, just take a moment and look at them.

But judging from the current growth rate of applications.

It's impossible to see it alone.

There must be a dedicated group of people to do this.

And their quality in all aspects should not be too low.

Otherwise, truly valuable research topics cannot be screened out.

After a few words of advice, Zhang Xingyang sent the secretary away.

Return to the control center.

"What is the current status of Shenzhou VI?"

Zhang Xingyang walked behind Qin Ming and asked.

"In good condition, ready to leave at any time."

Qin Ming turned around and saw Zhang Xingyang, and replied:

"However, NASA told us that they hope to conduct the separation a few days later to prevent accidents."

In fact, they said they were afraid of accidents, but in fact they were still worried that there would be another orbit lowering problem and no one would be able to save them.

"The spacecraft is now rigidly connected to the space station through ropes, and it is not easy to remove it."

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said:

"When their previous accident happened, the astronauts probably suffered a lot of injuries."

"Otherwise it won't take so long, just let our spacecraft stay connected to them."

At the time of the accident, the astronauts on the International Space Station forcibly conducted two spacewalks in a short period of time.

It is indeed very possible that physical damage occurred.

Before he recovers, he probably won't disconnect the spacecraft.

However, Zhang Xingyang didn't know exactly what his physical condition was.

NASA did not report the astronaut's physical condition.

Although Zhang Xingyang is currently able to master certain space station data.

But it is mainly the operation data of the International Space Station.

It does not include the physical data of the astronauts.

"Are there any problems with the current control system of Shenzhou VI?"

After Zhang Xingyang listened, he asked a question that was not very relevant.

"There are currently no problems. Judging from the current situation, it can even return to Earth."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

The Shenzhou VI spacecraft is the crystallization of domestic manned spaceflight.

If there is really no way, everyone still hopes that it can return to Earth.

It is best to be able to return to the landing field in the country.

"I have a feeling it may have some hiccups over the next few days."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the computer monitor in front of Qin Ming and said pointedly.

Qin Ming was a little surprised.

Think back to see if you haven't discovered any problems in some aspects of your life.

After all, no one can make mistakes without being a sage.

It is possible to make your own mistakes.

Just when Qin Ming was still thinking hard.

Zhang Xingyang coughed twice and talked about another seemingly unrelated matter.

"The International Space Station project team seems to be interested in delaying the rescue funds.

I may have a meeting with them in two days. "

"The work here may require you to pay more attention."

After saying that, Zhang Xingyang patted Qin Ming's shoulder hard twice.

Although Zhang Xingyang has been busy with various scientific research tasks in recent years.

But all kinds of exercise basically never stop.

So he is not weak, on the contrary, he is relatively powerful among scientific researchers.

Qin Ming felt the slight pain on his shoulder and somewhat understood what Zhang Xingyang meant.

The two things just mentioned are related.

After blinking twice, Qin Ming asked:

"Approximately when will the meeting start?"

"I feel like there may be some minor problems with the spacecraft the day before the meeting."

Zhang Xingyang laughed after hearing this and said:

"Probably the day after tomorrow."

"Then I think there may be a small problem with the spacecraft tomorrow."

Qin Ming also laughed and said.

Obviously Qin Ming already knew what Zhang Xingyang was thinking.

——

15 hours before the International Space Station rescue fund consultation meeting.

There was an abnormality in the thrust control system of the Shenzhou VI spacecraft.

The thrust engine started abnormally.

And soon reached the maximum working power.

As a result, the orbital altitude of the space station dropped by 30 kilometers in less than three minutes.

Afterwards, the control center staff explained.

After the spacecraft worked intensively, some minor glitches occurred in the system.

It's no big deal.

Because it has nothing to do with the Tiangong Space Station.

Therefore, it did not attract much attention in the country.

But for many people abroad.

It can be said that it almost exploded their fragile nerves.

You know, a week ago, the space station almost crashed due to a sudden drop in orbital altitude.

Now it comes suddenly again.

It almost made everyone think that the space station needed someone else to rescue it again.

"Zhang, your spaceship started abnormally yesterday."

"I want an explanation."

Haywood started the meeting aggressively.

All participants in the meeting can see it.

Heywood wanted to get a head start so that he could have a certain advantage in the subsequent rescue compensation negotiations.

But no one else thought that Heywood's little trick could scare people.

"explain?"

"Our press spokesman has explained it."

"If you want to see the specific content, you can log on to our official website to view it."

Zhang Xingyang said with a hint of ridicule.

"you!"

Heywood was a little embarrassed and a little angry.

"Mr. Heywood, please also pay attention to the topic of this meeting and the order of speeches."

The host of the meeting looked at Heywood expressionlessly and said.

This meeting can be regarded as a more formal meeting.

The host is from the United Nations Space Agency.

So I’m not worried about Heywood’s background identity.

Anyway, he doesn't live in Yingjiang.

Don't care at all.

Therefore, it was a pleasure for him to see Heywood defeated.

"The host is right. Our meeting is to discuss the issue of rescue costs for the International Space Station."

After Zhang Xingyang heard this, he also sat upright and said:

"For humanitarian reasons, we extended a helping hand to the International Space Station in crisis a week ago."

"For this reason, the manned spacecraft that was supposed to carry astronauts back to Earth was used up."

"We have paid a huge price and we have reached a simple agreement before the rescue."

"The International Space Station is responsible for all expenditures for this assistance."

"At present, we hope that the other party can fulfill its previous commitments."

Although the host is from the Space Agency.

But the space agency itself has no binding force. It is just a coordinating agency.

So the host could only continue to look at Heywood.

"We've already paid a sum of money."

Heywood said bravely:

"We will still need time to make the remaining payments."

As a country that is in arrears with the fees of the United Nations General Assembly.

Being in arrears with a little rescue fee is not a problem at all in Heywood's opinion.

But judging from the other party's operations.

If they don't pay this amount, then the spacecraft will definitely continue to have various problems.

Yesterday's emergency has become the front-page news of all major media in Eagle Sauce today.

A lot of people are calling for Heywood to be held accountable.

After all, so many problems occurred during his tenure.

He cannot absolve himself of the blame.

If problems continue, he may have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Beads of sweat broke out on Heywood's broad forehead.

"We're hoping for some time off."

"After all, we still need to negotiate with other countries within the International Space Station project."

The International Space Station is a multinational cooperation project.

Most of the funding sources come from other countries.

Yingjiang invested his own money, which is actually not a lot.

Before that, the amount of money paid.

This is most of the money left on the original project account.

The cost of the International Space Station is tens of billions of dollars.

But most of the money was invested slowly.

In fact, the liquidity on the accounts has never been too much.

To pay the rest, other countries must continue to contribute.

"Of course, we understand that raising money is not an easy thing."

Zhang Xingyang said with a half-smile.

Although what the other party said was a good thing for him, Heywood still felt that he was sweating on his back.

"It would be great if you can understand."

Heywood also said with a smile.

He doesn't care what Zhang Xingyang says now.

Haywood only cares about himself now.

If the space station cannot operate safely, news like today's headlines will continue to appear.

Your end may be miserable.

So Heywood went on to say:

"If you have any other requirements, we can discuss them."

Zhang Xingyang was still a little surprised when he heard this.

It seems that what was originally a small problem meant to shock them a little has caused them great pressure.

"The future of mankind is space, and we hope to conduct some larger space scientific research experiments."

"It might cause some controversy."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the other party with a smile and said:

"I hope Yingjiang won't have some extreme reactions."

Neither side is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Naturally, you can hear the implication of Zhang Xingyang's words.

Long Guo may want to deploy some relatively marginal scientific research equipment in space.

Heywood thought about it for a while and realized that this matter did not have much impact on him.

Used in exchange for concessions from the other party on the International Space Station project.

It doesn't seem that hard to accept.

Now as long as I can get through this wave of difficulties safely.

Not to mention launching marginal space equipment, even some space weapons.

Haywood was also able to turn a blind eye.

Unless the other party wants to deploy nuclear weapons in space.

But now no one should dare to risk the disapproval of the world.

Deploying nuclear weapons in space.

But just in case, Heywood said cautiously:

“According to previous space conventions, space belongs to all mankind and weapons of mass destruction cannot be deployed.

I don’t know, what exactly are you planning to deploy? "

It seemed that the other party was thinking wrongly.

Zhang Xingyang was speechless in his heart, but he didn't have much retort.

The more crooked the other party's thinking is, the better they can hide their true purpose.

This is still very beneficial to oneself.

"What we are going to conduct is a large-scale scientific research experiment and will not involve weapons of mass destruction.

The focus is on space energy experiments and large-scale space engineering construction. "

Heywood thought about it and realized that as long as it didn't involve nuclear missiles in space, it wouldn't be a big problem.

So he said cheerfully:

"Space scientific research is for the future of all mankind, and we support the exploration of the future."

Zhang Xingyang felt a little sick in his heart, but he still had to remain friendly on the surface in this situation.

"Of course, we also hope that other countries interested in space research will join us."

After a flurry of false invitations to join in, and superficial politeness.

The entire meeting is basically reaching the final stage.

"Commander Zhang, are we going to carry out any large-scale space scientific research mission?"

After the meeting, Yang Yi asked curiously.

Zhang Xingyang turned to look at her.

"If it involves confidentiality regulations, I won't ask."

Yang Yi seemed to have thought of something and said quickly.

"This project is not considered a confidential project. It is actually a commercial cooperation project between us and the local government."

Zhang Xingyang said after taking a sip of water.

During the meeting just now, I was going back and forth with the other party, which made me a little thirsty.

“More than three years ago, we completed the 100-meter-level wireless power transmission technology.”

"And proposed an epoch-making technology idea, space power generation."

Zhang Xingyang explained a little bit.

Space power generation has appeared in some promotional videos from time to time in the past few years.

Yang Yi had known a little bit about it before.

"So, are we going to start construction of the space power station soon?"

Yang Yi said with some surprise.

"Barely so."

Zhang Xingyang revealed a little bit and said nothing more.

"You should first contact the professors who want to review the space station cooperation project."

He changed the topic somewhat abruptly.

After Yang Yi left, Zhang Xingyang began to think about the construction of space power stations.

In fact, during this mission of the Tiangong Space Station.

There are related tasks.

The Tiangong-1 core module has a wireless power transmission receiving end.

Soon, a power-generating satellite will be launched.

Try to conduct long-distance wireless power generation in space.

Of course, these are just technical attempts.

There is still a long way to go before it can be put into commercial use.

"Xi and Fentian don't know when they will be completed."

Zhang Xingyang murmured to himself.

Xihe Fentian is a kind of space attack.

It is also a weaponized application for space power generation projects.

High reflectivity mirrors can not only generate electricity in space.

It is also capable of ultra-high-intensity photothermal strikes. (End of chapter)
