【Chapter 513: Sentinel Mission】
Many people saw Ren Hong talking in front of the stage and smiled knowingly. Didimmons, the person in charge of Aida who was paying attention to the news, looked red on his face. It was really unbearable to be mentioned again. The words seemed extremely respectful but actually the opposite.
"The 'Sweater Mission' is one of the space exploration plans we have formulated for a long time!" Ren Hong said. He then added: "From the human aerospace technology to today, the development of space exploration in decades, we know that space is not as peaceful and quiet as we have seen. It is hard to imagine the impact of Mars in the nearest time. If the target of the impact is the earth, it will be a terrible disaster that all mankind cannot escape."
"With the continuous progress and development of human technology, we have become more and more clear that the threat of the Earth being hit by asteroids cannot be ignored. The bumpy landform on the surface of our moon indicates that the beautiful Earth will not be treated specially, and it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the moon satellite to protect it."
"In the nearest world, a meteorite crash in Russia in 2013, a line of fire streaking across the sky was witnessed by countless monitors and mobile phones. Fortunately, this is a relatively small meteoroid rather than an asteroid, but even so it caused more than 1,200 casualties and tens of millions of dollars to be killed or injured locally. Fortunately, the fall point is not a metropolis, otherwise the loss will only be more serious!"
"How many potential asteroid threats does the Earth have? The picture given by Nasa will be intuitively shown." Ren Hong said as he gently pressed the remote control button, and the giant screen showed the space orbits of the four major earth planets in the solar system. In addition to the orbits of the four major earth planets in Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, the weaker lines are densely spread throughout the space, densely packed like a silk screen. This picture gives people a feeling of dense phobia.
Ren Hong looked at the pictures in the giant screen and said, "The vast space is so crowded, the orbits of asteroids are crisscrossing, and there are no rules. The 'car accidents' that happen in places we can't see in outer space are happening every moment."
Ren Hong looked at everyone and said: "According to the evaluation of an authoritative astronomy organization, every thousand years, an extraterrestrial body with a diameter of about 100 meters will fall to the earth. The energy generated by a star body with a diameter of about 50 meters will be enough to destroy a super metropolis of tens of millions of people. An asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers will impact the entire surface of the earth, and a global destruction disaster."
"The space orbit simulation map released by Nasa is a near-Earth celestial body orbit with a diameter of more than 100 meters in the solar system. This shows how lucky our home is to survive. Until now, Aida has only confirmed about 30,000 large and medium-sized asteroids operating around the near-Earth area, but only account for 3% of the total number of more than 1 million."
"Aida alone is not enough. It is precisely because of these foreseeable threats that the Gemini Plan was born successfully. The "Whistle Task" in the Gemini Plan is to deal with the defense strategies targeted by asteroids that may hit the Earth."
As soon as these words came out, the media reporters on the scene were excited. They would not care about asteroids hitting the earth or something. They only heard this from Ren Hong's tone... Is this a rhythm of fighting against Aida?
Even if it is not the media, it can be rendered as yes.
However, the scientific workers who came to the scene were suspicious. Even if your technology company is backed by one of the world's aerospace powers, can it compete with Aida, a joint establishment of aerospace agencies in the entire Western world?
Ren Hong saw some people coming to him with a questioning look, but he didn't care, but continued: "The 'Whistle Balance Mission' is committed to studying the threat of asteroids and developing specific solutions, such as using high-strength materials to capture asteroids with a diameter of about 500 meters to force them to change their original orbits, or installing artificial thrusters on the surface of the asteroid to change their orbits by artificial means to prevent them from hitting the earth, etc."
"To this end, the 'Tian Palace' has officially been established. We will build the largest space station in human history and send it to outer space. The 'Tian Palace' will play an important role in the entire 'Sentencer Mission', no, to be precise, in the entire 'Temini Project'."
The largest space station in human history? The people at the scene were slightly stunned when they heard Ren Hong's statement. These people were questioning the subconsciously when they heard these words, but when they turned around, they were different. The strong funds of Matrix Technology and the support of the Air China Administration, this space station is really possible. You must know that the only space station in orbit currently operates on the Tianzhou space station belongs to the Chinese. This means that technology is not a problem, and funding is not a problem. Then the addition of the two is equal to possibility.
But new questions also arise. Why do the "Tianzhou" still waste extra money to build the "Tian Palace"?
Ren Hong said with an excited smile used by the press conference: "'Tiangong' will be the true permanent space station in human history. It will not be retired, but keeps pace with the times and technology. It is also the first functional interstellar port to take on the 'Sweater Task' and 'Martian Mission'. MS' space exploration activities will start around the 'Tiangong', and the 'Tiangong Ring Star Port' will exceed 5,000 tons!"
5000 tons???
The outsiders at the scene, whether they were scientific workers or reporters from various media newspapers, were stunned. Everyone thought they had heard it wrong. They were sure it was 500 tons instead of 5,000 tons? Even a 500 tons space station was enough to shock the world. 5,000 tons, which is equivalent to the size of ten retired "international space stations", which is also...
In fact, strictly speaking, the size of the "Tiangong" has no final data, because according to Ren Hong's vision, this ring-orbit star port will become larger and larger, and he also concealed part of the data, and the first phase will be completed at 7,700 tons.
Didimmons, who was following the press conference, subconsciously stood up when he heard these words, and his eyes were full of incredible. He suddenly felt that it was too inappropriate for Aida to lose such a powerful character.
Interestingly, no one on the scene questioned whether the "Tiangong" can be successful in technology. China is currently the only three countries in the world that can independently develop space stations and send them to space. Obviously, this requires technology and funds. What determines the size of the "Tiangong" is nothing more than how much money it needs to be invested.
However, many people cannot understand why such a large orbital space station is for? It is just noble to stop the so-called asteroid from hitting the earth for the welfare of all mankind? Ghosts believe it!
Now is not the time to ask questions, these questions can only be kept in your stomach.
