I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"CCTV reporters reported that the State Council and Commission of Science, Technology and Industry will organize the 2016 China Semiconductor Industry Summit in Beijing on July 22, inviting a number of domestic semiconductor industry companies and relevant people to participate.

It is reported that the purpose of this summit is to build a new system led by new technologies, create a national closed-loop chip software ecological chain, enhance domestic chip design and manufacturing capabilities, and strengthen awareness of independent intellectual property rights..."

On July 13, it was officially announced that this year’s Semiconductor Summit will be held on July 22.

This was a very ordinary summit, but it was also unusual.

First of all, the organizers are the State Council and the Commission of Science and Industry, which significantly enhances the summit's value. The second is the invited companies.

Basically, they are state-owned semiconductor companies, and there are only a few fully private and relatively powerful private companies. None of the foreign-funded or joint venture semiconductor companies have been invited.

This is quite unexpected. A normal industry exchange summit should invite as many people as possible instead of deliberately limiting the list, unless a highly biased policy is to be introduced.

Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, and Nvidia all expressed concern about this summit, because none of them were invited, and neither did TSMC and Samsung, which are usually invited.

The latter two also have a lot of OEM business in mainland China!

However, there were only eight or nine days left for the summit, so no one was in a hurry. On that day, a company registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

"Huanghe Semiconductor Technology Company, legal person: Wang Minjiang, registered capital: 5 billion yuan."

At 7 a.m. on July 13, the first six crew members of the Hila Space Station left the space station on the Mecca space shuttle and returned to the atmosphere after living on the space station for 15 days.

When Rayana Alkari continued to slow down while driving the Mecca around the orbit, through satellite measurement and control guidance, Lin Ju briefly used an optical telescope at the Tiangong Space Station to capture the speeding Mecca.

To be precise, it flew by Mecca. The Mecca is now slowing down, and Tiangong is the faster one.

The reason why the space journey ended in 15 days is that Abel was eager to welcome the astronauts, and the Shira space station was quite big, but there were not many supplies, most of which were brought up from the Mecca.

In order to prevent problems with the center of gravity, not many supplies were placed in the five sections launched. After all, it was not a specialized cargo spacecraft.

Subsequent supplies Prince Sweetan discussed with the Aerospace Development Commission and decided to use the Tianzhou series cargo spacecraft and the Xinyuan-5A rocket to deliver more than ten tons of supplies at a time, which is enough for the astronauts to live for a long time.

At 9.40 a.m., the Mecca landed at Mukala Airport at a speed of 370 kilometers per hour. When passing through Central Asia, people only need to look up to see a bolide flying overhead at a speed of Mach 25.

Six astronauts from four countries received extremely high courtesy. Each of them was awarded the title of "Aber Hero" and received large rewards.

In the end, six people were sent to the holy city of Mecca, as servants who had "served God" to spread the gospel to the believers who are still here.

In order to shake hands with the servants of God, tens of thousands of believers in Mecca had more than 600 stampede accidents in one day, but this did not dampen the fanatical believers at all.

Hamand then met with the six astronauts in the evening together with the other three heads of state. The reputation of the former also increased. After discussions with the Arbor Space Agency, it was decided to award each of Hamand and Sweetan an award for their contributions. commemorative medal...

Since then, the US$8 billion cooperation package originally signed by Arbor and Xinyuan has been basically completed.

The Mecca space shuttle will stay in Arbor for 10 days for exhibition. During this period, it will be under the supervision of Xinyuan engineers. Except for some high-level officials, they are not allowed to enter and can only visit outside.

Then the Mecca will be transported back to Xinyuan for maintenance and repair, and the same will be true for the Xinyuan 2 rocket.

This process takes about a month. Aber has planned the second mission from Mecca at the end of August, and the six crew members are ready.

Hamand is already busy with worldly affairs, and he really can't go, so he can only wait for who knows how long.

On July 16, in the final assembly hangar of the spacecraft workshop of the B-level base, the An-1250 was half-inverted by a trailer for hoisting and transportation operations.

A crane is installed next to it, and what is ready to be placed on An 1250 is very familiar: the space shuttle.

Not small space shuttles such as H1 and Dream Chaser, but large space shuttles such as Columbia and Buran with a maximum take-off weight of more than 100 tons.

If Hammand must remember, this is the H2 space shuttle that made him determined to invest two years ago.

Of course, the construction of the two H2 regular-powered versions only started on June 1st. It is impossible to build them in more than a month. This is just a full-scale aerodynamic test prototype.

Its internal materials are simplified aluminum tubes and iron sheets, and even a lot of wood is used. Although the volume is almost the same as the official version, the weight is very light, and a lot of counterweights are stuffed in for realistic simulation.

This prototype will be used to test the aerodynamic layout and structural weaknesses of the H2. Although it has no power, it does have retractable landing gear and movable flaps, and can fly under remote control on the ground.

The test location is still the same place, Ulan Hashan Airport.

The latter was borrowed from Xinyuan, and has gradually lost its military attributes. It has become a site for astronaut training and testing of various non-sensitive aircraft. The basic conditions of the airport have also been greatly improved.

In the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, the An-1250 equipped with a full-size H2 prototype taxied on the runway and took off.

The size of H2 is amazing, with a length of 74 meters, a maximum width of 34 meters, and a vertical tail height of 12 meters. Even if the An 1250 is carrying it, it does not look small, but it highlights the exaggerated size.

A lot of people have gathered around the B-level base every day since the An-1250 flew over a few days ago. They are all enthusiasts who come to take pictures of the An-1250 taking off, and they will also roughly estimate the best time to take off.

The weather was very good this afternoon, so a lot of people came to watch, and then everyone saw a classic scene:

An 1250 lifts off carrying the H2 space shuttle!

This scene feels familiar, because the An-1250 is the aerodynamic reference object, and the An-225 is designed to carry the Buran space shuttle around.

The An-1250 is an enlarged version of the An-225, and the H2 space shuttle is an enlarged version of the Buran. So... the Alliance is back? !

The airplane enthusiasts who came to shoot said they had made a profit. Seeing such a famous scene again after more than 20 years, those who didn't know thought it was a dream to return to the alliance, and Jingsu shed tears!

The H2 space shuttle has also attracted strong attention because it is too big, bigger than anything ever built by Aramco and Alliance!

Don’t worry about whether it’s lagging behind or not, just say it’s big or not!
