Chapter 1277: Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches
Sun Yanlai's statement just now was actually studied and decided by his superiors before the start of this mission.

The nature of co-orbital anti-satellite weapons is too sensitive. It is of course fine to use them now while everyone is paying attention to them, but if we wait a few years and the heat has died down, there is no guarantee that the Americans will not make history.

If this project remains active in a semi-open state, then some content can be added to it from time to time, and entire documentaries can be made to criticize NASA every once in a while.

At least it can make it more difficult for the other party to confuse right and wrong.

It was originally planned to be published on the official website of the National Space Administration together with the cost accounting list.

But since someone is asking a question at the scene, I might as well just say it out loud.

On the contrary, it can still gain another wave of popularity.

And after the first person to try it out appeared, the next problem became much simpler.

It was a reporter with a full beard, who was obviously an oil man from the Middle East:
"Dear Director, you just mentioned a technology called 'deorbit sail'. But according to my understanding, although this is a passive deorbit technology, it is cheaper than active deorbit that consumes fuel, but it still takes up a part of the mission payload... Is it possible to establish a mandatory international mechanism to encourage countries to do this?"

Compared with the Singaporean female reporter just now, this reporter's question was not aggressive, but more sensitive.

Even the smile on Sun Yanlai's face froze for a moment.

After all, when it comes to the formulation of international rules, many things are beyond the decision of him as the director of the space agency.

Of course, considering the positive side, this also shows that after this turmoil, some people have begun to subconsciously include the influence of China Aerospace in the T1 category.

This is something that has never happened even when Shenzhou V and VI were successful.

Therefore, after thinking for a few seconds, Sun Yanlai gave a relatively meaningful answer:
"Regarding this point, since it is still in the conceptual design stage, I cannot give a completely definite solution for the time being, including the deorbiting sail technology itself which needs to be further matured and improved."

"But we are indeed considering setting up an 'International Orbital Debris Committee' to summarize and evaluate the major space debris threats each year. As for whether it will have mandatory force... this is a detail that needs to be agreed upon with other partners in the future."

In fact, Chang Haonan had previously proposed a similar but even crazier idea.

Take this opportunity to establish a state-owned holding company within the aerospace system, mainly engaged in "space junk insurance" business.

As long as you purchase one copy, China will be responsible for cleaning up any high-risk space debris generated during the satellite's entry into orbit and its future life cycle.

It's a bit like a space indulgence.

Unfortunately, it was not put on the table for discussion because of its low feasibility and the fear that even Europeans and Russians would not accept it...

The next few questions were relatively standard.

However, with the end of the space fishing boat project and the atmosphere on the scene returning to calm, the focus of everyone's attention has obviously shifted to the future development direction of China's aerospace industry.

After all, anyone with a little bit of common sense can see that after this round of turmoil, the development pattern of the world's aerospace industry will at least undergo a significant change, if not a large-scale reshuffle.

Just like the aviation industry during those years at the turn of the century.

In 1996, if someone said that China would become the factor that could influence the global aviation manufacturing industry in the next 10 years, everyone would be considered crazy.

Even when China and Europe reached mutual recognition of regional aircraft airworthiness, most people were only aware of the former's ambitions in this regard.

As a result, Aero Engine Corporation of China is now able to stand on equal footing with old giants such as Snecma and even Rolls-Royce.

China's domestic airlines have also begun to increase the proportion of C808 and C909 models on passenger routes.

Although aerospace and aviation are two very different industries, with such a precedent, no one dares to take it lightly. Therefore, someone soon asked:

"From the implementation of the space fishing boat mission, we can see that international space cooperation has created a new situation. For example, the European Space Agency has started information exchange and cooperation with you at the official level for the first time... Will this affect China's future space development plans?"

This is a reporter from China International Television, so the content of the questions had already been arranged.

The purpose is to bring the rhythm back to the preset track at the critical moment.

And Sun Yanlai finally got a chance to take a breath;

"In general, China's aerospace industry's principle of independent development will not change. We will launch the next Shenzhou spacecraft next year and conduct the first spacewalk mission. After that, we will start building our own space station and further carry out deep space exploration and orbital application research..."

"Of course, this mission has indeed increased the mutual trust between China and the space agencies of various countries in the world, and also broken the malicious attempts of some countries to isolate China's space industry... In fact, we have always maintained a positive attitude towards international cooperation, and we are willing to see more friendly countries join in future space station construction and lunar exploration activities..."

"..."

Although it was late at night, the non-stop press conference continued for nearly two hours.

But almost everyone felt that something was still missing.

So harmonious.

How can it be so harmonious?

Although it is indeed a good thing that the threat to the International Space Station has been lifted, for the media that is always looking for trouble, it would be really uncomfortable if they don't create something else.

In the end, it was a British reporter from Sky News who showed off his racial talent:
"In the process of resolving this crisis, the European Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency have clearly provided technical and information support. So, Director Sun, I would like to ask whether other countries, such as NASA, as the owner of the UARS satellite and the main builder of the International Space Station, have also provided corresponding assistance."

This one question immediately perked up the audience who were already feeling a little sleepy.

You know, just a few days ago, NASA specially launched a program to prove that solar storms are not as threatening as the public imagines, and that the International Space Station is still safe.

As a result, he was slapped in the face at the speed of light before the show was even finished.

I'm sure everyone in the world wants to know what role NASA played during the two days of preparation from September 9st to 1rd?
"In addition to the European Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency, which have made clear statements, we have also received a lot of help or encouragement from our counterparts in other countries. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to all the institutions, companies and individuals who participated in this operation."

Sun Yanlai's brain was working rapidly while he organized his words:

"But I'm very sorry, this list is too long, and it's still in the process of being sorted out. It's difficult for me to announce it on the spot alone... But please be patient, this list of thanks will be announced to the world on the official website of the National Space Administration at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest..."

"..."

This answer is quite sophisticated.

Not only did it leave a day and a half as a buffer, it also sent a message to the Americans:

It's up to you whether you want to pay or not...

And it turned out to be just as he expected.

NASA is also following the press conference in real time.

Therefore, before Sun Yanlai returned to the office, he had already received a report from the secretary:
"Director, NASA just called and promised to pay all costs directly related to this space fishing boat mission..."
