Panshan Group Headquarters.

Liu Tao always pays attention to the world situation.

Now the world’s attention has shifted to the aerospace plane, manned lunar landing and lunar scientific research base because of the Panshan spacecraft.

Just a few days ago, a bill was quietly passed in the United States, which caused an uproar once reported. This bill is very strange, named “One Small Step to Protect Human Heritage in Space Act”, which stipulates that any probe launched from the United States cannot approach the Apollo lunar landing area. At the same time, they are also seeking to reach an international agreement, hoping that other countries will not approach the Apollo lunar landing area.

According to the Americans, the starting point of this bill is good. They do not want the “ruins” of the Apollo manned moon landing to be destroyed!

But in the current context, the outside world simply does not buy into the Americans’ arguments.

More people believe that the United States is guilty because the manned moon landing was fake and it is afraid of being discovered and losing its international prestige.

During this period, Chinese public opinion was focused on the China National Space Administration’s announcement of a timetable for a manned lunar landing and plans to establish a lunar scientific research base. In order to achieve a manned lunar landing, one must go to the Apollo lunar landing area to see whether the United States’ manned lunar landing in the last century was true or not.

And it’s not just in China. In the Middle East, Europe, Russia, South America, and even the United States, there are many people who question the US manned moon landing and make such remarks.

Under such circumstances, the Americans passed this bill, not only prohibiting American aerospace companies from approaching the Apollo moon landing area, but also seeking international cooperation to prevent other countries from going to the Apollo moon landing area. Isn’t this just preventing people from verifying the truth?

You know, as long as there is a second country that has manned the moon, it will be easy to determine whether the Americans actually did a manned moon landing in the last century.

Because the United States’ six manned lunar landings in the last century left many traces of the lunar landings on the lunar surface. It would be too easy to verify the authenticity of these traces after the second country’s manned lunar landing and arriving on the lunar surface.

For example, the footprints left by Armstrong, which are praised as the first footprints left by humans on an alien planet, are easy to find.

Due to the special environment on the lunar surface, which is close to absolute vacuum, which means that no wind is formed, these traces of the lunar landing will remain for a long time, including Armstrong’s footprints.

Liu Tao sometimes wonders what is going on in the minds of Americans.

U.S. laws govern Americans and U.S. companies, but not other countries.

American aerospace companies will be restricted by this bill, but the Chinese Space Agency will not be restricted by this bill.

In fact, the United States enacted law a long time ago to prohibit cooperation with China in the field of aerospace.

NASA has tried more than once to obtain lunar soil from China, but has never been able to do so because NASA’s actions violate U.S. law.

For a long time, regarding the authenticity of the moon landing, which has been hotly debated by many people, NASA has always held the mentality of “you have no evidence to prove that I am fake”. As long as you have no evidence, the US moon landing will not be falsified.

But the situation is different now. On the one hand, the United States wants to land on the moon before other countries, and on the other hand, it imposes restrictions on related speech and legislation.

As for the United States seeking international cooperation, that’s all I can say.

Do you really think the United States is still the same America as it was back then?

In just one month, China has developed a comprehensive plan.

This includes the manned lunar landing project and the lunar scientific research station project. It won’t be long before the lunar scientific research station will launch an online naming campaign to stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm for spaceflight and manned lunar landing.

This is an upright conspiracy.

It is inevitable for China to develop its space industry. The next step in the development of China’s space industry must be to carry out manned lunar landing. Now these two engineering projects are what China’s space industry has to do. The only difference is whether they are fast or slow.

However, the speed at which China acts affects all aspects.

Should other countries increase their investment in the aerospace sector? Should other countries send humans to the moon?

If you don’t follow suit, it means you have to admit that you are humble and you won’t be able to sit at the adults’ table.

Only those who are willing to follow suit and compete in the aerospace field can be at the adults’ table and have a dinner among adults.

“Build another spaceship?” Liu Tao pondered for a moment.

The Panshan spacecraft was handed over to the space agency for the purpose of training astronauts and carrying out a series of manned space missions.

But it is a fact that the Panshan spacecraft can only accommodate six astronauts and cannot carry too much stuff.

For example, the Panshan spacecraft cannot carry too much scientific research equipment, nor can it carry large lunar engineering vehicles.

The space agency believes that the Panshan spacecraft is already very advanced, so it only needs to convert the cockpit into one and use the rest of the spacecraft to carry supplies, scientific research equipment, and the lunar rover.

Liu Tao thought differently. Since he was going to build one, he would naturally have to build a special cargo spacecraft.

This also means that this type of spacecraft must have both a cockpit and a cargo hold!

The cargo spacecraft with the largest cargo transport capacity and the most advanced on-orbit support capacity in the world is the Tianzhou-10.6 cargo spacecraft, which is a fully sealed cargo spacecraft with a double-cabin tandem configuration, including a propulsion cabin and a cargo cabin. The Tianzhou-3.35 spacecraft is 22.5 meters long, with a maximum diameter of 6.7 meters (cargo cabin), a cargo cabin loading space of 7.4 cubic meters, and a loading capacity of 6.5 tons. Including the propulsion cabin tank capacity, the entire ship’s material loading capacity reaches tons, and the dry mass of the spacecraft is tons.

Liu Tao did not plan to make improvements on the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft, but instead planned to make improvements on the Panshan spacecraft by adding a cargo hold.

However, as the fuselage becomes larger and the load capacity increases, the number or power of thrusters and the power of nuclear reactors must change accordingly.

Adjustments are also required in the aerodynamic layout.

The wings of the Panshan spacecraft are of retractable design, which takes into account not only the aerodynamic layout of the earth, but also the aerodynamic layout of the moon.

You know, because the gravity and atmosphere are very different, the aerodynamic layout is also very different.

Moreover, such a large spacecraft obviously cannot be built in an underground laboratory.

In this regard, Liu Tao chose Guifei Group.

However, it is still too early to start manufacturing now. The manufacturing of materials, the creation of parts, etc. all take time.

It will also take time for Guifei Group to vacate its production workshop.

Liu Tao estimates that construction will not begin until next year.

The secretary came in and handed a document to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao picked up the document and took a look. It was about the agenda of the mid-year party group meeting.

The entire document arranges time according to the topic, and the participants for each topic are clearly listed.

Nothing is a small matter as long as it can be included in the agenda of the Party Committee meeting.

Personnel appointments and dismissals are the top priority this time.

This time, the Panshan Group system will mobilize 100,000 cadres at all levels, including 40,000 to support domestic ministries, state-owned enterprises, and local government agencies at all levels, and 60,000 to support Nanyang to support Nanyang’s construction.

Since we want to achieve integration, regional economic integration, we have to help the economic development of Nanyang. Regional integration is all-round development.

Just like in the strategic-level work such as poverty alleviation, China has always been moving forward steadily. There is no such thing as giving up halfway, and there is no such thing as going back on one’s word.

Among all countries in the world, the Chinese government’s words are the most trustworthy.

The transfer of these 100,000 cadres at all levels is the largest personnel reshuffle in history, even for Panshan Group.

When some people are transferred out of the Panshan Group system, some people will naturally be promoted. After all, there is only one job for each person, and before this, these jobs were occupied, so it is not so easy for the people who come after to be promoted.

Liu Tao strongly agreed with the idea of ​​deploying 100,000 cadres at all levels to provide support.

Firstly, this is external support for talents, and secondly, it is also a large-scale replacement of the Panshan Group system, allowing a large amount of fresh blood to be injected, thus maintaining the vitality of the entire system, rather than gradually becoming rigid.

No matter whether others are willing or not, it’s best if they are willing, but if they are not willing, they have to comply.

Among the 40 deputy general managers of Panshan Group, 24 will be transferred out to provide support, including as many as 12 members of the Party Committee.

Even Chen Weimin set an example by actively applying to go to Lan Fang for support.

In space.

Yang Liwei is conducting an extravehicular activity.

He was the first Chinese astronaut to enter space that year, but he stayed in the Shenzhou spacecraft and did not conduct any extravehicular activities.

This time, he took the initiative to apply to participate in the space shuttle flight mission, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

Yang Liwei has also participated in these trainings and has mastered them proficiently.

The space rope was tied, and Yang Liwei wore a space suit and an air mask. Wearing this space suit and the air mask, he could survive in space for 48 hours.

Space extravehicular activities face many dangers, including extremely low temperatures and radiation from cosmic rays.

The temperature in space is very low, averaging minus 270 degrees Celsius.

Not to mention the radiation from cosmic rays. If the space suit is not up to standard, then these cosmic rays alone are enough to pose a fatal danger to astronauts, which may cause cell damage or DNA destruction.

There is also garbage and meteorites in space that are moving at extremely high speeds, which can pose a fatal threat to astronauts.

Of course, during spacewalks, the darkness and lack of reference points can make astronauts feel as if they are in a bottomless abyss, causing strong anxiety and fear. This visual experience is unimaginable in normal training, and astronauts may worry that they will float away if they let go.

It is precisely because of the horrific dangers involved in space extravehicular activities that every astronaut who engages in extravehicular activities is a warrior and hero of mankind.

Even at this moment, Yang Liwei felt lonely, scared and uneasy in space.

This is difficult to overcome no matter how much simulation and training are done on the ground.

Faced with the unknown cosmic environment, the instinctive fear is still difficult to overcome.

This fear is not cowardice, but a natural reaction when facing extreme circumstances.

At this time, a live broadcast of the extravehicular activities was being carried out.

Countless people admire this Chinese astronaut who was the first to enter space.

After all, Yang Liwei is almost 50 years old.

He has been awarded many honors and no longer needs to go into space to carry out space missions, but he still has the courage to challenge himself and actively applied to participate in the implementation of this space mission.

The four words “space hero” are fully reflected in him.

Although feeling lonely, scared and uneasy, Yang Liwei still carried out the extravehicular activities in accordance with the requirements.

The extravehicular activity did not last too long, only about half an hour, and Yang Liwei returned to the Panshan spacecraft.

The ‘Panshan’ spacecraft in space is no longer the same as it was on the ground, and its wings have been folded up.

The cabin door was closed, and after the isolation layer was disinfected and sterilized, Yang Liwei opened the cockpit door and entered the cockpit.

Once in the cockpit, I felt more secure.

The other five astronauts stepped forward one after another.

In this mission, Yang Liwei was not the first person to perform a spacewalk, but the third.

And everyone will do a space walk.

This is also a way to accumulate experience in space extravehicular activities, and this opportunity is very rare.

You have to know that there are so many astronauts in the astronaut corps, but in the past only a few astronauts were sent into space in a year, and not all astronauts had the opportunity to go into space.

For every space mission, everyone actively strives for it and performs excellently during training in order to obtain the mission.

But it is different now. The Panshan spacecraft can carry six astronauts at a time, and the cost is much lower than before.

This will give everyone more opportunities to enter space and truly become astronauts. It will also allow for the training of more astronauts and increase the strength of the astronaut team.

Subsequently, the other three astronauts carried out space walks one after another.

After completing a series of tasks, an extremely important task came, which was the rendezvous and docking of the “Panshan” spacecraft with the space station.

Spacecraft rendezvous and docking is a high-tech aerospace technology. Currently, only the United States, Russia and China have mastered this technology.

The European Space Agency has not yet mastered this technology.

The ‘Panshan’ spacecraft accelerated and flew towards the location of the space station. The positions of the two sides were approaching each other rapidly.

The Panshan spacecraft was also constantly controlling its speed. As it approached the space station, the speeds of both sides became more and more similar.

If one is not careful during rendezvous and docking, the spacecraft will be destroyed.

The speed of both parties is maintained at 7.9 km/s, moving around the earth.

Finally, the Panshan spacecraft was only 19 meters away from the space station.

In about two minutes, the Panshan spacecraft successfully completed rendezvous and docking with the space station. After the docking was completed, the two spacecraft formed a high-performance combination.

Yang Liwei and others entered the space station through the docking channel.

Astronauts Liu Yang and others personally welcomed their arrival.

This is the first time that China’s space station has welcomed so many astronauts.

Before this, the most astronauts on board at one time was six.

After the two sides had a successful meeting, the astronauts moved most of the materials from the Panshan spacecraft into the space station, and then moved the garbage and other items to be taken back to Earth from the space station into the Panshan spacecraft.

Liu Yang and two other astronauts entered the “Panshan” spacecraft, while Yang Liwei and other six astronauts were divided into three astronauts. These three astronauts will stay in the space station for three months. Liu Yang and other two astronauts will follow Yang Liwei and his colleagues back to Earth.

This was determined before the Panshan spacecraft took off. (End of this chapter)
