"Sir, sir! I'm sorry to disturb you late at night, but I think you must take a look at the press conference that Lous is holding. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our company, as long as we can reach a cooperation with it!"

At this moment, during the press conference held by ms, on the other side of the pacific at night, Robert Bigelow was awakened from his sleep by a late night phone call.

"I'm disturbing my sleep late at night, Matthews, if I don't agree with what you said, I'll fire you!" Old Bigelow cursed in a one-piece pajamas, and made a cup of hot coffee to refresh himself. Only then did he come to the office desk in the bedroom and sit down, turning on the personal computer with a hint of sleepiness in his eyes.

"'Tiangong'? What? It weighs more than 5,000 tons?...Aw, oh~! I'm scalding to death! Damn it!"

The private video link sent by Matthews. When Bigelow saw Ren Hong in the video saying that he would build a space station with a mass of more than 5,000 tons, the old Bigelow was shocked by the data. The hot coffee could not be stabilized and accidentally fell, and it was all over the table. Bigelow dealt with the liquid that was full on the table hastily, and then stared intently.

A super space station of more than 5,000 tons, for Bigelow Aerospace, if it can obtain cooperation with MS, it will definitely be an era of great leap for the company. Bigelow Aerospace is an aerospace company that specializes in manufacturing and providing inflatable space capsules. Its flagship product "beam capsule" has not only provided cheap and durable inflatable space capsules to the "International Space Station", it has recently cooperated with Alphabet's close cooperation, in its base on the surface of the moon, Alphabet has purchased a large number of "beam capsules" for the construction of the moon base.

Nowadays, as human beings explore space more and more frequently, Bigelow Aerospace is also rising. This time, the space exploration of Matrix Technology, "Tiangong Circular Starport" is simply a godsend opportunity! If it is possible to provide ms with a "beam space capsule" and a "Tiangong orbiting star port" with a mass of more than 5,000 tons, how much demand will the other party have?

"Matthews, prepare me the earliest flight to China, preferably tomorrow, and arrive at the destination the day after tomorrow."

When Old Bigelow thought of this, all the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared, and he stared at the screen of the personal computer motionlessly.

...

The scene of the press conference.

"Mars, this planet has special emotions for human beings. Its related data is the closest terrestrial planet in the solar system. Since NASA found a large amount of water in the soil of Mars in 2013, human beings have become more interested in this planet. The longing for a planet is getting stronger and stronger, so far, nearly 40 human probes have visited Mars..."

"Another major mission in our 'Gemini Project' is to explore Mars. Matrix Technology hopes to send humans to that land, and to start research on related scientific research on trying to absorb water from the soil of Mars, so that in the future, humans will be on Mars. Matrix Technology hopes to build a self-sufficient Mars base on Mars, and the 'Tiangong Orbit Starport' will provide great help for us to explore Mars."

"This is no small feat, and the money being burned proves that we are taking action!"

Standing in front of the stage, Ren Hong talked to all the reporters and guests. His confident face showed that he was full of confidence in the "Twin Project". The holding of a press conference was not because Matrix Technology was overjoyed and eager to prove her strength and ambition to the world, but because the "Gemini Project" could not hide it at all.

It should be noted that the construction of the space base of the "Chinese Matrix" is in full swing, a striking launch tower and its future orbiting "Tiangong Circum-orbit Starport", the largest man-made space station in human history cannot escape the view of the outside world, Making plans quietly and silently will cause speculation from the outside world and bring unnecessary troubles and disputes, especially with such a large-scale interstellar port surrounding the outer low-orbit platform,

There is also the existence of berths, and even the title of "space-to-ground strike weapon" will be marked on people.

This is not the desired result of Matrix Technology.

Finally, the time to ask questions that excited all the reporters arrived.

Ren Hong looked at the hundreds of big hands raised off the field without saying a word. The person in charge of the press conference who was in charge of roll call looked up at the rear, pointed at the rear, and said, "Thank you, that one, yes, it's you !"

"Hello, Mr. Ren. I'm Yang Min, a reporter from Weifeng Science and Technology News." A well-faced oriental female reporter said slowly: "When is the 'Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port' expected to be completed? When can we send our astronauts to Mars?"

This reporter especially emphasized the word "we" a little. Under the focus of Chinese and foreign media and global perspectives, although the newspaper "Weifeng Technology" has little to do with Matrix Technology, at this moment, if you think about it, all the people on the scene The journalists in this country are extremely proud. After all, this is a moment of pride for the Chinese people.

Ren Hong nodded, and then replied: "Five to ten years!"

With a concise four-character answer, Ren Hong added: "From the day when the 'China Matrix' was established, the 'Tiangong' will gradually take shape in outer space in a short period of time in the future. It will take at most one year to complete and put the 'Tiangong' into use. As for the progress of the 'Mars Mission', to be precise, the progress of the entire 'Gemini Project' will depend on when the 'Tiangong' is put into use. Thank you. Next .”

All the foreign media reporters or scholars and guests off the court were amazed. Is this the "China speed" that shocked the world?

The so-called "Chinese speed" is famous all over the world. The republic is less than half a century old, and the infrastructure construction has shocked the world. One of the most classic videos on the lure tube is that a bridge on the fourth ring road of the capital needs to be replaced urgently, but it will be seriously blocked in this way. The traffic in the capital has long been overwhelmed, but the miracle is that the engineers of the Republic only took 43 hours to replace the bridge. Even many people who went to work on Monday did not know that the bridge had been replaced. This video was tempting The extremely hot spread on the tube has shocked countless foreigners.

150 days and nights of meticulous preparation resulted in 43 hours of miracles. This is the "Chinese speed". The Republic's exaggerated construction speed and capabilities were once ridiculed by netizens as an "infrastructure maniac". There are countless examples of this.

"Hello, mr Ren!" A newspaper reporter from "Empire Magazine" asked: "The super-large size of this space station is simply a fortress in the sky, may I ask whether it has the ability to carry out military strikes on the earth from outer space? ?”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at Ren Hong. The scene was very quiet, except for the sound of the equipment running and the shutter of the camera. We have already dealt with it.

"Fortress in the sky! I like this adjective." Ren Hong said boastfully, but with a calm face, then looked at the reporter and said, "But I prefer to describe him as a target in the sky."

Having said this, Ren Hong looked at the other party seriously, and added: "'Tiangong Xinggang' is a scientific research facility, not a military facility. Taking a step back, we have no reason to be in outer space in order to strike the world within an hour. Create expensive and not completely safe space weapons, 'Tiangong' operates in low-to-medium orbit, it is not absolutely safe, rocket strikes from the ground have a devastating threat to it, on the contrary, we should be more concerned about some people The threat to it is not only a loss for the parties involved, but also a loss for all of humanity."

The Americans and Russians are the only ones who can attack outer space vehicles. The implication is self-evident that it is basically impossible for the Russians, so only the Americans can.

Ren Hong suddenly showed a confident smile and said again: "We have the submersible aircraft carrier Whale Shark, and there are countless cheaper and more effective defensive weapons. There is no need to do thankless things. We are not afraid of any threats and we love peace. Under the current upsurge of space exploration, all human beings should focus on the stars and the sea, and contribute to the advancement of human science, and don’t limit the structure and small thoughts to the earth itself. Next!”

In the end, I didn't even say thank you.

(ps: The replacement of the Fourth Ring Bridge is a real case. It was introduced in the second season "China Road" of the documentary "Super Project" produced by CCTV. If children want to know what "China Speed" is, we recommend the disciplinary film "Super Project". What is the concept of "China Speed"? Take bridge construction as a simple example. China is advancing at an average speed of 30 bridges every day. This is "China Speed". , without a semicolon. It only took more than 30 years for the "China Speed" to bring about great changes in this country. Even those who stay at home can feel the changes in this country. Turn around and look at India and Brazil These big countries can set off something better!) (To be continued.)
