Chapter 142 Space Station
"Command center, the No. [-] energy capsule has been launched, please release it." Pony calmly reported the progress of the work to the ground command center.In the ground command center, various experts nervously checked the results returned by the monitoring equipment on the large screen, and then issued an order: "Kongfei No. [-], you can perform the next operation, and the order has been confirmed."

"Kongfei No. [-] received it, and proceed to the second step. Crew members, please pay attention, and start releasing the No. [-] energy capsule." With Xiao Ma's operation, the mechanical arm released the No. [-] energy source that was ten meters thick and [-] meters long. cabin, recovered into the aircraft.The huge No. [-] energy capsule was floating in space at this moment, and was only connected to the aircraft by a thick steel cable.Xiao Ma looked at the computer data, and said calmly: "Get ready to activate the No. [-] energy capsule."

With Xiao Ma's operation, and with the assistance of the intelligent system, the huge No. 50 energy capsule slowly came to life.The two huge semicircular armors were pushed away by the mechanical arm, supported by the battery panels hidden inside, and slowly stretched out, one by one, until they stretched to about 75 meters before stopping.The entire battery panel extends out to five sections, with a single side extending 170 meters. If the supporting parts and the thick energy cabin are counted, the wingspan of the entire No. [-] cabin reaches a width of more than [-] meters.

With the computer in the No. [-] energy cabin working, the two huge semicircular armors retracted on the No. [-] energy cabin, completely protecting No. [-]; the status adjustment system started to work, and the huge battery panels faced the sun directly Provide stable energy for the energy capsule and the future space station.

The astronauts tied with safety steel ropes slowly drifted to the front of the mechanical arm, and climbed onto the space station components along the thick mechanical arm.He successfully replaced the safety steel cable and fixed himself on the space station components, "No. [-] is empty, No. [-] is fixed," "No. [-] is fixed,". . . . . .

With the completion of the fixed work, every astronaut has reported their status to the aircraft, Xiao Ma checked the data on the instrument a little nervously, and said excitedly: "Air flight No. Service module, please pay attention to your own safety." Under the slow movement of the strong and powerful mechanical arm, No. [-] service module was pushed out of the cargo compartment of the aircraft.

"Start to release the No. [-] service module, and the five-second countdown begins." With Xiaoma's calm voice, the mechanical arm released the No. [-] service module and retracted it into the aerospace plane.

"Preparing to activate the No. [-] service module," following Xiao Ma's operation, the No. [-] service module, which is larger than the No. [-] energy module, began to start.Under the support of the mechanical arm, the huge semicircular armor covering the outside of the No. [-] service module was slowly pushed away, and some small pieces of individual armor were folded, exposing the internal rocket thrusters.

"Start to adjust the status and prepare for the docking of the space station." The booster rocket outside the No. [-] service module was stretched out, and under Xiaoma's operation, it started to ignite, pushing the No. [-] service module to the No. [-] energy module floating in space.

With the approach of the No. [-] service module, the booster rockets on the No. [-] energy module started to work at the same time, adjusting the state of the No. [-] energy storage.A new type of photonic computer is installed in the No. [-] service module. Under its high-speed and accurate calculation, the No. [-] energy module and the No. [-] service module successfully completed the docking work.The spacewalkers started to work, inspecting the connection status of the intermediate docking components in detail, and then assembled some scattered parts handed over by the robotic arm to the space station.

The chief looked in disbelief at the picture captured by the radio telescope on the big screen, and asked in surprise: "This, the docking is completed so quickly?" Wang Zhen nodded and replied: "We have already simulated this process. With the help of a powerful computer, half an hour is already a long time. If it is not for our company's lack of rocket technology, which makes it difficult to control the propulsion device accurately, the docking work may be completed within 5 minutes gone."

After looking at the picture on the big screen, Wang Zhen suddenly asked with a smirk: "Commander, what do you think of this space station? Can it reflect the majesty of our Chinese people?" The chief looked at the picture on the big screen, feeling The huge space station gave people a shocking feeling, and he said with satisfaction: "I really didn't expect that your company would make such a big commotion in such a quiet way. The space station you built has every section of the cabin. 100 meters? Is it much bigger than the International Space Station?"

Wang Zhen looked at the chief and said proudly: "Of course it is much bigger than the International Space Station. If you don't do it, you can do it the best. If you follow the design drawings of this space station, the entire space station will be more than 500 meters long after it is completed. meters, and it can continue to extend to dock with other space stations. How about it? Do you have any idea to go up and have a look, sir?"

The chief said with a smile: "I really didn't see that you still have such great ambitions. I'm old and I can't stand the torment of gravity." Wang Zhen continued to ask: "Then chief, do you want to send some scientists to land on the ground?" How about doing scientific research? Should we discuss the cost of each takeoff of the aerospace plane and the use of the space station?"

The chief suddenly realized: "Ah, I said you boy and I have been drawing circles for a long time, so you are waiting for me here. Tell me, what's your plan?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile: " Chief, why doesn’t our country have its own space station up to now? Why is it that only Russia has launched its own space station? Isn’t it all because of money?”

Looking at the busy figure of the astronaut and the huge space station on the big screen, Wang Zhen said with emotion: "At the beginning, I just wanted to have my own space station. Although I knew the cost of the space station was high, I didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive. Do you know how much I spent on the research and manufacture of the aerospace plane and the space station? I can’t believe it myself.”

Wang Zhen said helplessly: "When attacking the American economy, I once swept hundreds of billions of funds from the United States and invested them in the construction of hydrogen production plants. Then I started the construction of high-tech cities and new virtual networks. Although the virtual network has made me a lot of money, the high-tech city has only been put into use, and many properties have not been sold. Although the hydrogen production plant was put into use last year, due to the imperfect hydrogen production technology, it can currently maintain It’s not bad if you don’t lose money.”

After a pause, Wang Zhen continued: "In order to manufacture the aerospace plane as soon as possible, and this huge space station, I have brought in all the funds I earned from the United States and the profits I earned on the virtual network. If Now, if we make another list of the world's richest people, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the bottom one, Chief, do you bring cigarettes? I haven't smoked for a long time, and I really want to have one."

After receiving the cigarette handed by the chief, Wang Zhen took a deep breath, and said with some weariness: "Now I can barely maintain the normal operation of the company, and I have contributed to the country for so many years, but almost always lose money.

　Take a look at this aerospace plane. Is the country going to buy it directly with money, or is it going to lease it directly?There is also this space station that has not yet been built. I am afraid that my own funds will not be able to complete the later construction. Is the country planning to buy the space station or rent it out? "

The chief really didn't expect that Wang Zhen, who is always full of energy, would suddenly say such a bunch of words, and he was a little stunned for a while.With the help of Kaitian Group, the country has been developing by leaps and bounds in recent years. He never expected that at this moment when he was about to catch up with the United States, Wang Zhen was suddenly ready to quit.

It took the chief a long time to react, and he asked suspiciously: "Wang Zhen, don't give up on the pick. What difficulties have you encountered? Tell me, the country's economy has improved a lot in the past two years. If your company really If you don’t have enough funds, the state can also give you some appropriate subsidies.”

Wang Zhen smiled wryly and said, "I'm really tired and ready to rest for a while. Take a look at the aerospace plane and this space station. Is the country going to pay for it directly or rent it out?"

Wang Zhen really felt a little tired. It took a lot of time just to translate such a huge amount of alien technology materials.Although many experiments can be simulated by photonic computers, after all, computers are not omnipotent, and many experiments require a lot of funds to back them up.

The scarcity of fully trustworthy talents and the serious shortage of scientific research personnel have greatly hindered the translation of alien technology materials.Now that the aerospace plane has been successfully developed, and the prototype of a large space station has also been established, Wang Zhen no longer has any extra spare money in his hands.Coupled with his own practice, he is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Wang Zhen wants to take a good rest and go around with his family.

The chief also knows that the series of plans launched by the Kaitian Group recently cost a lot of money, and many projects have no benefit, but the real benefit is the country.Even if the state supports Wang Zhen's work, it is difficult to come up with tens of billions of funds, which is dispensable for the huge Kaitian Group. No matter how much funds, even if the state can allocate them, it is not just me It counts.

Looking at the tired Wang Zhen, the chief didn't know what to say, and tried to persuade: "Your company must have been developing such a huge aerospace plane for a long time, and the manufacturing cost will not be so low. The country is also in need of money at the moment and cannot come up with such a huge amount of funds at once, so how about it, as long as you don’t give up, the country can guarantee your company and allow you to make interest-free loans from various banks.”
