I am reborn as Sai, but the animation three-body

Chapter 75 Developing Space

After discussing the matter of Rey Diaz, Sai originally planned to go to hibernation, but soon the PDC people told her that the Nanfu project had made considerable progress.

"How about the construction of the moon base?" Say asked the experts.

"At present, two main lunar bases have been completed. They are developed around the space elevator and equipped with a large-scale closed ecological circulation system, which can accommodate 3 people to maintain a basic standard of living."

"At the same time, there are seven Helium 7 mining mines not far away that have also been completed, but these mines only have part of the ecological cycle system, relying on the main base to transport resources there."

"Then is there an industrial base on the moon? Or is it just digging helium 3 and transporting goods?" Sai asked curiously. She has never cared about the construction of the moon base.

"The main lunar base has an industrial base for processing lunar soil and initially refining helium 3, but the later processing of helium 3 still needs to be carried out on the earth."

"At the same time, the lunar base has the ability to grow crops, as well as repair the fusion engine and the ecological cycle system. Apart from this, there is no industry on the moon."

"Okay, I understand roughly, so how many cargo spaceships do humans have now? How many space docks?" Sai asked the expert again.

"There are 51 cargo spaceships, more than 70.00% of which are made by Huaguo. As for the space docks, there are 23, but one-third of them are used to produce warships."

"How big is the cargo spaceship? How much cargo can it transport at one time?" Say asked.

"Don't you know?" The expert asked puzzledly, "It's the cargo spacecraft designed by Chief Engineer Cheng, with a carrying capacity of 3 cubic meters and a limit speed twice that of the third universe."

"No other models? These 51 are all the original ones?"

"Yes, at present, the PDC scientific research department has designed three new types of cargo spacecraft, and the transportation capacity is an order of magnitude larger than that of the current cargo spacecraft, but the construction has not officially started." The expert explained.

"The number of cargo spacecraft is still too small. It took ten years to achieve this. How to expand the moon base, how to develop more moon resources? How to develop the entire solar system?" Say said dissatisfied.

Because of my hibernation, I didn't have time to supervise the Nanfu plan, and the PDC and the nine council members actually made it like this. It took more than ten years to meet her requirements.

"The main reason is that the scale of the space industry is limited, and human beings still have too little understanding of the space environment. There is no rich experience in space construction, and there is no space industry. Everything has to be shipped from the earth."

"I understand, then transfer part of the human economy and industry to space, so that we can accumulate experience in super-large-scale construction in space."

"At the same time, some basic equipment can also be produced, so that the construction of space docks and cargo spacecraft does not completely rely on blood transfusion from the earth."

"That's right, so I notified the nine members of the council to hold a hearing, and I'm going to announce a new plan."

"Okay, as you wish." The expert nodded and left.

....
PDC Headquarters, Wallfacer Hearing
"My plan is to continue the development of the moon, and at the same time gradually transfer the industry to low-Earth orbit, and create an earth-moon system economic circle." Sai explained at the hearing.

"Will the building of the Earth-Moon economic circle be used by fugitives?" the representative of the United States asked deliberately.

"Impossible. Although this has promoted the civilian use of space navigation, it is only the development of low-Earth orbit. This short-range spacecraft cannot support escape."

"But this is still possible, because the cargo spacecraft has already exceeded the third cosmic speed, which is enough to leave the solar system." The representative of the United States still insisted.

"Don't just look for trouble. If you can go to other star systems a few light-years away through a spaceship that can barely reach the third cosmic speed at the limit speed, then you are better than the Trisolarans."

Sai didn't bother to hint at this reply, but directly satirized it.

The American representative flew into a rage, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal, so he had to be quiet.

"Then how many people do you want to send to develop geosynchronous orbit?" the Indian representative asked. Seeing Hua Guo's large-scale cargo spacecraft monopoly on the Earth-Moon route, they have long been greedy.

If Say could send some Indians up there, his country might be able to develop an advanced space industry, and thus make a great breakthrough in the Earth-Moon route.

As for the death of people caused by accidents, it is not a problem for India. As the world's No. 17 most populous country with 1 billion people, it is acceptable for dead people to be in space.

"The initial plan is about 2000 million people, about a quarter of them are on the moon side, and the rest are engaged in microgravity industry and agriculture in geosynchronous orbit. Later, it will increase to 1 million people."

This remark immediately caused an uproar. Of course, the representatives present were not in favor of it, but were questioning the feasibility of the plan, because 2000 million people was no less than the population of a metropolis.

This is equivalent to building an international metropolis in extraterrestrial space. The amount of engineering involved is extremely huge, and it may be possible to use the power of all mankind to complete it, but the resources that Say can mobilize are definitely not enough.

"Have you considered the cost of such a super project, which has far exceeded the upper limit of your available resources?" asked the German representative.

"No, because most of the funds are not funded by us. Most of the funds are provided by ordinary people and private companies. What we need is to form a state-owned space construction company."

"It's not the same. If we want to realize the civilian use of space navigation and space architecture, we must introduce private enterprises. Of course, we will not do it in one step, but will use the guidance method first." Sai explained.

"Then how do you plan to guide?" The Japanese representative said.

"Form a series of state-owned space construction enterprises, and their mission is to build large-scale buildings in space and develop the space industry."

"Of course, the state-owned space construction enterprises are only responsible for the general direction. The trivial things, such as construction materials and equipment, are purchased from private enterprises through bidding, so as to cultivate private space construction enterprises."

"Then who is in charge of these state-owned space construction companies, you?" asked the French representative.

"PDC created a department to manage these state-owned space construction enterprises, but I will not directly intervene, but you will send people to manage them." Say said.

She wanted to appoint an escapist like Zhang Beihai to manage these state-owned space construction companies, but this was too eye-catching.
