Chapter 408 The future of mankind
After visiting Chobashan, the minibus entered the Mongolian area again, and then on July 27, he arrived at Dongfeng Aerospace City.
Visitor visiting area of Dongfeng Aerospace City.
Mr. Zhang brought Mao An and others, as if specially invited tourists, on an independent observation deck that had just been built this year.
The 12-long launch vehicle on the launch tower stands quietly.
The scenery on the Gobi Desert is very obvious different from the tropical rainforests of the Indochina Peninsula. After more than half a month of visiting, everyone adapted a little.
On the observation deck, Mao An and others used the tablets on their hands to translate some manuals introducing the 12-long launch vehicle.
The big guy in front of him can send 52 tons of supplies to 450 kilometers of low-Earth orbit.
This launch mission was to transport two astronauts and 46 tons of supplies to go to Tiangong Space Station to change shifts.
Dongfeng Aerospace City, which has been upgraded and transformed many times, is full of science fiction and mixed with some rough styles of the last century, and it looks like it has arrived in the future cyberpunk era.
Standing on the observation deck more than 100 meters high, you can see most of the buildings and facilities of Dongfeng Aerospace City.
This was something I couldn't imagine before. In the past, things in this aspect were always hidden, making people feel confused.
But now, it is more confident and open, opening up the base of Dongfeng Aerospace City to the public by about 74%.
The remaining areas that are not open are the assembly workshop, the inside of the launch tower, and part of the hidden areas underground.
Staff wearing simple exoskeletons, warriors wearing exoskeleton armor, and various rough and huge machines.
The expanded super-large total assembly workshop has a height of 150 meters, a length of 1500 meters and a width of 300 meters. It can be equipped with 7 12-long carrier rockets at the same time.
On the west side is a huge astronaut training base, and on the south side are the dormitories, restaurants, hotels and museums of the Aerospace City.
On the north side, this is the No. 3 launch position and No. 4 launch position.
The scale of the launch positions No. 3 and No. 4 is even more massive and advanced than the launch positions No. 1 and No. 2, which have been repaired for three years.
These two new launch sites are prepared for the future new launch vehicles. Currently, the subsidiary of the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Mobei Xiongying Aerospace Company, a subsidiary of the Suiren Group, are working together to create a new generation of super launch vehicles.
The design and planning scheme of the new generation of super launch vehicles requires that the total weight of the launch vehicle reaches more than 2,000 tons, the low-Earth orbit payload is about 6, and the low-Earth orbit payload must reach about 120 tons.
This super launch vehicle is currently in full swing and is expected to be launched around 2015.
On the observation deck, he looked blankly at the launch tower in the distance and the launch vehicle on it. The shock that came to his face made him feel the strength of a powerful country.
"Do you know how many supporting companies are needed for this launch vehicle?" Mr. Zhang asked lowered his telescope.
Maoan used his pitiful imagination and racked his brains for a moment before he found a number: "One hundred schools?"
“It’s 1,736.”
“1736?!”
Everyone was stunned. This number made Maoan and others a little unimaginable.
After all, the northern part of Hongshawaddy where they live is in chaos all year round. The local industry is very scarce, and the technology has also eliminated several rounds of things in other regions. The 1,736 companies are indeed an astronomical figure.
After all, Mao An and others knew the heritage of Hongshawadi. Even if they developed to the level of Goryeo, it was extremely possible, let alone crossing the regional overlords and the world overlords, and advancing to the interstellar civilization.
After thinking about it, Maoan knew that there might be only one way left for the present plan. He asked, "Sir, is it a shortcut to dependence?"
Mr. Zhang did not answer immediately, but asked back: "You should understand the consequences of choosing to rely on. After all, the more things you have to get, the more things you are destined to pay."
"Do we have any choice?" Mauman showed a bitter smile.
