After undergoing physical therapy, Luo Sheng felt much more comfortable, and his energy was fully released.

After taking a shower, changing into clothes, Luo Sheng left the Science and Technology Complex.

The housekeeper had already arranged his travel matters properly. When he walked towards his business car, the bodyguard who accompanied him quickly opened the car door and soon took the vehicle to the Xingjiang International headquarters.

...

After about half an hour's drive to the Xingjian International headquarters, Luo Sheng headed straight to the seminar room of the R&D building, and Zheng Tao, Liu Jianwei and others were listed.

Seeing Luo Sheng coming in, everyone stopped discussing.

Zheng Tao also stood up and gave up his position as chief. Luo Sheng took the seat without hesitation and said, "Old Zheng, please continue to preside over the meeting."

After a moment, Zheng Tao sat down on the left and continued: "Today's discussion content concerns the various facilities of the 'Pirate' orbital space station, mainly aiming at life support systems and solutions involving residence, production and scientific research operations."

Another core part of the space ladder is the space station part, and the ladder requires the support of two large and super-large space stations. One is to deploy a super space station on a stationary orbit located 36,000 kilometers on the earth, which is named "Primary 1".

The space coordinate point of the second superspace station, "Pioneer 2", is the balance point between gravity and centrifugal force in outer space.

A 36,000-kilometer-long ladder cable connects the spaces of "Piloter 1" and "Piloter 2" and the tower base on the ground equator line, forming the final form of the space ladder.

Luo Sheng was looking at the equal-scale three-dimensional model of the "Piloter 1" space station in the conference screen. The side view showed a "T" morphological structure, up to 898 meters long, and the top core was a rotatable ring structure to create artificial gravity through centrifugal force in a weightless environment.

The diameter of the ring is 978 meters, the circumference is about 3,000 meters, the area within the ring is 750,000 square meters, and the total mass is 8,400 tons, which is 20 times that of the International Space Station.

The low-orbit "Pioneer 2" space station is structurally similar to "Pioneer 1", but its scale is relatively larger. Its length is 1,190 meters, the diameter of the ring is 1,298 meters, the circumference of the ring is 4,075 meters, the area within the ring is 1.322 million square meters, and the total mass is 13,300 tons, which is 31 times that of the International Space Station.

The core energy supply of these two space stations uses nuclear power, but not fusion nuclear energy, but fission nuclear energy.

In addition to atomic energy providing core energy support, solar panels will be laid in the area of ​​the ring to supply energy to the space station, which is to ensure that the space station can shut down unnecessary energy consumption modules and continue to maintain stable low-power operation when the nuclear power stops operation.

To establish supporting facilities such as space factories, the energy converted from solar energy can only be maintained in basic operation in an emergency situation. It is unrealistic to supply a large amount of energy. Although fission energy is far less than fusion energy, no matter how poor the fission nuclear energy is, it is not comparable to conventional energy.

At this time, a core researcher at the meeting spoke: "The variable specific pulse magnetic plasma engine has been successfully developed, and this engine is used to promote the manufacturing of artificial gravity of the annular compartment of the space station."

Luo Sheng nodded.

This engine uses plasma space propulsion system rather than fuel propulsion. The internal R&D team of Xingjian International completed more than 1,500 hours of continuous ignition tests as early as the second half of 2014.

The researcher continued: "In addition, another great news is that the conversion of power from solar cells into a 1250kW multi-channel Hall thruster has also made a breakthrough. It can use both traditional propellants and new propellants that meet the utilization of external space resources in the field, which will provide the second safety guarantee for the space station."

Luo Sheng nodded again and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it's not bad!"

In addition to stabilizing the role of the entire space ladder, the "Piloter 1" located in a high-altitude synchronous orbit is also a hub station for extraterrestrial ports. In the future, the resources brought back from the earth will be transferred here. The materials will be transported by raising ladder cables from here for nearly 36,000 kilometers and sent to the "Piloter 2" space station in the low-orbit, and then enter the planet's surface.

The real core is the "Pioneer 2" space station, which relies on the extension of the space station to build many industrial facilities such as space factories, space docks, space power plants, space farms, space real estate, space tourism and other industrial facilities.

These are all in the plan, implemented step by step and improved gradually.

The huge "Pioneer 2" space station has a complete life support system and complete living and living functions. In theory, humans can survive permanently on the space station when resources are sufficient.

Many industrial facilities will gradually be improved like building blocks. 13,300 tons are just the starting point rather than the end point. Their future scale will only become larger and more abundant with continuous development until they become a super space city.

Zheng Tao, who was sitting next to him, shook with a pen, then looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Mr. Luo, the people from the Aviation Administration came to me yesterday to talk. It seems that they intend to merge the Tiangong Space Station project. I can only take you out and push the person back."

Zheng Tao really couldn't make any decision in this matter.

After the Ladder Project was reported, the National Space Administration also learned about it. It was fine if I didn’t know. After I knew it, the people from the Tiangong Project didn’t want to play it anymore, and even wanted to jump directly to Xingjian International.

The International Space Station is small in front of the two "Pilot" super space stations. Tiangong is smaller than the International Space Station, so that is the small in the small in the small in the small in the small in the sky.

In terms of budget, the two "Piloter" space stations have exceeded US$2 trillion, with the current budget of 15 trillion yuan, while the Tiangong Space Station's budget is 40 billion yuan, and the budget of the "Piloter" space station is 375 times that of it.

No one is in the mood to continue playing.

If the ladder project is a project of a foreigner, there is nothing to say. If you work hard, you must do a good job in the Heavenly Palace. No matter how small or bad it is, it is your own. But the ladder project is a space project led by the Chinese people, so it will be completely different.

Luo Sheng is doing such a crazy century project. No matter how beautiful the Tiangong project is, it doesn’t seem to make much sense. Instead, it’s a bit like playing house.

At the end, Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "Cooperation is OK, but merger is fine. The Aviation Administration is a national institution, we are a private commercial company, and the ladder project gathers global capital. It is complicated and you can fall in love but you can't get married."

Zheng Tao heard Luo Sheng’s last words and smiled and said, “I’m not a hooligan anymore…”

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "So you have to spread it out in advance. If you don't have it, don't talk about love, so everyone can worry."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked around and added: "Over the years, we have cultivated a large number of core talents. Some people from the Aviation Administration want to change jobs. We can collect them, but we can't take the initiative to poach people."

Everyone nodded silently, and too many factors were mixed with it, but they were burdens.

Luo Sheng continued: "The ladder project is too vast. Even if Xingjian International has strong technical strength and strong financial support, it still needs external support when facing the exploration of the universe and the deep space exploration project. Therefore, we cannot be self-admired. We must achieve Xingjian International's control strategy and provide certain financial and technical support, give full play to the wisdom of private and other commercial companies, and use it for our own use."

Liu Jianwei, who had never spoken, couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Mr. Luo, what do you mean is that the ladder project can be made public?"

Luo Sheng nodded slowly and smiled: "The project has actually started. Investors got on my car and it's too late to get off the car. No matter what happens, they can't help but give them a big surprise."

Everyone couldn't help but look weird. Everything was easy to say before the investment. After the investment, I am your father. Should I be so realistic?

This is not a surprise. Investors may not be frightened if they know the truth.

Luo Sheng added: "For such a vast super project, countless eyes around the world stare at you with magnifying glasses and analyze and study you. It will not be concealed for a long time. Announcing it with a strong attitude will boost investors' confidence."

Zheng Tao rolled his eyes in his heart. Investors knew about it and probably would not be able to withdraw their investment, at least they would yell like fans of the Chinese national football team: "RNM refunds!!!"

The ladder project is definitely more exciting than it is. Either you go to heaven together for success or failure or all you fail.
Chapter completed!
