It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 395 The Only Wish

On weekday mornings, most office workers are at work.

It is not very appropriate for the central bank to conduct an interview at this time.

Generally, the best effects, the best ratings and the highest level of discussion are achieved at night.

It’s just that yesterday’s space rescue was an epic event, the best example of the theory of the rise of the East and the decline of the West. It didn’t just attract national attention, but it definitely attracted global attention.

China's reputation among the people will be raised to several levels as a result. If China is as good at "public opinion propaganda" as other developed countries, just by taking advantage of this space rescue and the Japanese astronaut desertion incident, and carrying out crazy publicity around these two events, it will be enough to shape China into the country with the best reputation in Asia.

I just don’t know how capable China is in propaganda.

Even at this point in time, the number of online viewers for the interviews broadcast live on all platforms has soared. Judging from the background, the number of viewers on various platforms has exceeded 10 million.

According to the actual situation, many office workers wear half of the earphones at their workstations and turn on the live streaming of CCTV on their mobile phones. They are watching it themselves, and their leaders are watching it too. No one will say that it is working hours now, and everyone concentrates on their work.

"Good morning, dear audience friends. The footage just shown is from the perspective of Changkong, showing the entire process from approaching the International Space Station to successfully completing the docking of the rescue rope, and then to the trapped astronauts on the International Space Station successfully boarding the Changkong space shuttle through the rescue rope.

The audience who watched our live broadcast in the early morning should have a deep impression of this scene, and the audience friends who are watching it for the first time now, I believe everyone will have a clear understanding of the entire rescue process. "

Before the interview officially began, the interview program cut out the highlights of yesterday's live broadcast of the rescue process and put it at the very front as the opening video.

The GIF image corresponding to the video has long been widely circulated on Weibo, and few viewers have not seen it.

If you click on the headlines on Weibo's hot search list, you can see the GIF, or you can watch the full one-hour rescue video.

There are several points that the older Chinese people talk about with great relish: the first is that compared with the modules of the International Space Station, the Changkong is even larger in size, and its streamlined design style is completely different from that of ordinary spacecraft.

Ordinary spaceships tend to be short and fat in appearance, but the Changkong is a bit like a swordfish.

The second is that under the lighting effect, you can vaguely see the escape capsule looming on the edge of the screen, and after completing the rescue of the International Space Station, Changkong did not even look at the escape capsule and drove towards the distant Guangjia Space Station. This made the old Chinese applaud, they should not have saved the Japanese, and they were such despicable villains.

The third one is the astronauts of the International Space Station who survived the disaster and were amazed after entering the Changkong space station. If they were not firmly fastened in the safety seats, they would probably have looked around the Changkong space station inside and out.

The main message of the comments posted by Chinese netizens who watched the live broadcast last night was: Don’t let them watch it randomly, what if our technical secrets are leaked?
"Today we are fortunate to have Mr. Chen Yuanguang, who participated in the entire development of Changkong and formulated the space rescue plan, to be interviewed by us. Let us welcome Yuanguang." The female host applauded in the studio and looked at Chen Yuanguang warmly.

Chen Yuanguang nodded slightly: "Hello, host, hello everyone."

"god!"

"The interview still has to be done by the God of Light"

"Light God! I'm not greedy, I just want to win a ticket to the Tiangong Space Station."

"Light God, can you limit the IP addresses? Overseas IP addresses are prohibited from participating in the lottery!"

There are two types of barrages in the live broadcast room. One type is emotional speeches. In short, if you see Chen Yuanguang on the live broadcast platform, you have to post some barrages. You will feel uncomfortable if you don’t. The other type is discussions about the lucky draw of the video posted by Lin Jia.

From the perspective of actual value alone, this is definitely the largest lottery since the establishment of the Douyin platform.

You only need to comment and follow to participate in the lottery. With the powerful promotion of Douyin official, almost every user can see the Douyin video. The number of comments below has exceeded 10 million, which is probably the Douyin video with the most comments in history.

The odds of winning are comparable to the lottery.

After the news of the lottery spread overseas, many foreigners also registered on China's TikTok to participate in the lottery, which made the older Chinese very dissatisfied.

There are only 6 places in total, and we are only one in ten million, and foreigners have to come and grab the cake.

These netizens hope that Chen Yuanguang can see the comments they posted and add restrictions to the lottery.

"Yuan Guang, we all know that you formulated the rescue plan for the International Space Station this time, and our Changkong space shuttle needs to first reach the International Space Station to complete the rescue. After completing the rescue, it will go through a relatively long journey to the Guangjia space station to paint the surface insulation layer. After the painting, it will finally return to Earth.

It can be said that the entire rescue process is relatively complicated. How did you come up with such a complicated rescue plan? "The host asked, "and if there are any inside stories behind this rescue plan that we, the audience, don't know, you are also welcome to tell us."

Chen Yuanguang looked directly into the camera and said, "We are very clear about one thing: in the era of space commercialization, space needs infrastructure.

Space also needs gas stations, car washes, repair stations, etc. similar to those on Earth. These things are needed to provide corresponding services for aircraft in space.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the paint shop of the Light Armor, that is, the section responsible for painting, was designed from two perspectives. One is that it is highly automated and absolutely does not require a human astronaut to operate it.

The reason is very simple, because this module needs to accommodate various types of spacecraft, enter it, and then exit.

This means that oxygen is difficult to retain in this compartment. It is a separate vacuum environment and is absolutely unsuitable for human survival.

Therefore, the principle we set for it from the very beginning was to be highly unmanned.

The second angle is adaptability. I mentioned painting before. Painting means that no matter what the model of the aircraft is, it can be evenly sprayed with a thermal insulation layer.

This is valuable enough to provide services to space vehicles of different countries and models.

It is based on this premise that we are confident that the Changkong aerospace passenger plane can go to the Guangjia to complete the painting.

The Chang Tian space passenger plane was designed from the beginning to meet multiple needs at the same time, and it was also based on the premise that there was a certain infrastructure in space.

If it is only for flying at an altitude of 100 kilometers above the earth, its current structure is sufficient, but the International Space Station is at 400 kilometers, which involves passing through the atmosphere, which will cause friction and thus high surface temperatures. When returning, it will have to go through it again, and the current structural strength may not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, from a safety perspective, we can only put the Light Armor to use in advance.

You may think that the Changkong aerospace airliner has never docked with the Guangjia space station, and that the distance of 32 kilometers is too far. In fact, the risk is very low.

The risk can even be said to be smaller than a plane crash.

The Light Armor has completed the docking of five modules from one core module at the beginning of this year to the current one, which has fully demonstrated our aircraft's unmanned docking capability.

And these capabilities can be reused on the new generation of space vehicles.

In the past, we only dealt with short distances, which was nothing more than launching from the ground to space. The overall flight trajectory was quite simple. But in the future, the distance will easily reach tens of millions of kilometers. Under such circumstances, the reusability of route experience will become very important.

We now feel that the distance from Earth to the Light Mech, which is 32 kilometers away, is very far, but the farthest distance between Earth and Mars is 4 million kilometers.

We cannot use past experiences to think about future problems.

Therefore, based on the experience of multiple round trips between the Earth and the Light Mech, the risk of the journey between the Changkong and the Light Mech is very small.

Elon called me last night. He briefly explained the situation and said that it was all over and no spacecraft could bring back 12 people at a time.

I thought of the Changkong space shuttle, whose function has always included short-distance space travel.

And after it arrives at the Light Armor, it can not only complete the coating of the heat insulation layer on the Light Armor, but also complete the replenishment of fossil fuels on the Light Armor."

The host immediately grasped the key point after hearing this: "That is to say, the Light Armor can already serve as a transfer station between the Earth and the Moon, and already has the functions of maintenance and refueling."

Chen Yuanguang said: "Yes, this is also equivalent to a preview of its function in this regard.

It’s just that the current confrontational sentiment is too serious. In fact, if humans could concentrate their strength, they would have entered the interstellar age long ago.”

What Chen Yuanguang didn't finish saying was that life is too good and the earth's resources are too abundant, so people don't have to work hard at all. The resources cultivated on the earth are enough to feed all mankind.

Even today, when technology is becoming more and more advanced and productivity is exploding, it is entirely possible for everyone to live a middle-class life if the distribution relationship is properly managed.

As for the American claim that if the Chinese people start living like Americans, the earth will be destroyed, is there any truth to this statement? There is some truth to it.

Because America's cake distribution mechanism does not change, the Chinese will live the same standard of living as Americans, and the American middle class will indeed be doomed.

But if America's cake distribution mechanism changes, with America's advantages in cutting-edge technology, they can fully provide these 3 million people with a life of steak, red wine and luxury.

In essence, the upper class is unwilling to share the cake with the lower class. If the cake remains unchanged, the upper class will get more and more, while the middle class will get less and less. The bottom class can only eat cake crumbs, and then it is packaged as the Chinese taking away the cake from the middle and lower classes.

“In fact, the fundamental problem facing commercial space is that countries are in a competitive relationship, and competition far outweighs cooperation.

If this premise does not change, there will be no future for us to build infrastructure.

For example, the Guangjia serves as a gas station and provides aerial refueling services, but the fuels used by different countries are inconsistent.

We know that Russia's Soyuz spacecraft and SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft both use highly refined kerosene and liquid oxygen, and the model of this highly refined kerosene is RP-1.
But RP-1 is not a specific model, unlike automobile fuel, 95 and 92 are different models, but no matter where you go to fill up 95, it is the same.

The highly refined kerosene used by the Dragon spacecraft and the Soyuz spacecraft is RP-1, but there are slight differences in the ratios of the RP-1 fuel they use, including the ratio of liquid oxygen.

If we are in a cooperative relationship, we can unify the standards, just like the standards in the automotive field. When the Light Armor provides fuel replenishment for spacecraft from countries around the world, there will be a unified standard.

Therefore, space infrastructure, at present, is a beautiful vision, but it is still difficult to implement and generate large-scale benefits. "

The host nodded repeatedly after listening to this: "But Guangjia Aerospace is still very impressive. You are the first commercial aerospace organization to complete the construction of infrastructure in space.

This is the debut of the Light Armor. Do you feel lucky to have this opportunity to make such a debut under the global attention? "

Chen Yuanguang felt that the other party was setting a trap. If he showed positive emotions, it would be interpreted as taking other people's disaster as his own opportunity, and then be interpreted in various ways by foreign media. He just didn't know whether this female host was simply stupid or bad.

But Chen Yuanguang was careful anyway: "This was a catastrophic accident, and I don't feel lucky about it.

Regardless of this accident or not, the Light Armor will make its debut this year. It is just an episode for us and will not affect our space strategy advancement plan.

And not all astronauts are safe now, there are still Japanese astronauts floating in space."

Satoshi Furukawa was an unlucky guy. He witnessed the rescue of the Light Armor with his own eyes in the escape pod. This time it was his turn to keep sending radio messages to the space station, requesting rescue.

However, even if NASA answered his radio and conveyed the request of Furukawa Satoshi and JAXA to China, China ignored them. This was not part of the plan in the first place. The escape capsule was so small that the difficulty of docking increased sharply. This difficult unplanned rescue should be left to the Japanese themselves.

Now the Changkong is carrying a group of people to the Guangjia. Fortunately, Furukawa Satoshi has not been forgotten. Now there is a quarrel between two factions within Neon.

One group said they had to find a way to rescue him, even if it was out of humanitarianism, and they would settle the negative impact after he was rescued. The other group believed that Furukawa Satoshi had brought shame to all Japanese people, and they hoped that he would die in extreme fear in space.

However, neither of these two opinions is important, because Japan itself does not have the rescue capability at all. They have to either ask NASA or the Chinese.

"For this accident on the International Space Station, my only wish is that they can return safely."
