Whether it is the "Sky Mirror" project that is in full swing, or the "Survey Space Telescope" project, or the more ambitious "Sun Project" plan, and now the "Nine Sky Stars" series of extraterrestrial planets approved by Fang Hong
Deep space exploration program.
The implementation of this series of large-scale cutting-edge engineering projects can drive technological upgrading and development in cutting-edge fields. The establishment of such large-scale space exploration projects requires multi-faceted cooperation once launched. There are dozens of participating companies or scientific research units.
Home or even hundreds of homes.
Only when those companies have a business can they make profits for R&D and technology upgrading, and can they cultivate and produce more relevant technical talents. Stars Capital has invested in so many high-tech companies in recent years, and some of the related companies will definitely be able to get it.
The corresponding list is responsible for one of the technical modules.
The idea is actually similar to the country's major infrastructure projects.
As for the country not doing it, it is because there is not enough money. The transformation of technological achievements in such cutting-edge projects in the short term is limited, so the allocation for space exploration is very limited. Even the annual budget allocation for the entire aerospace field is not as good as a "Sky Mirror" project.
budget, let alone the "Survey Space Telescope" project with a budget of hundreds of billions.
In addition, another reason for not doing it is that the results are slow and the cycle is long.
A Saturn exploration plan is expected to take eight years, and a Mars exploration plan is expected to take nine years. How can the relevant leaders in their positions wait for such a long time? They can't wait to be promoted and transferred in a year and a half, so they must be building houses.
If it is fast, the economy will be effective quickly, and GDP will be effective quickly, then of course the rise will be faster.
And this kind of cutting-edge project with slow results, long cycle, and huge investment will have to bear the responsibility if it doesn't work well. If it does well, it will be the benefit of the people behind it, so the leaders basically don't catch it.
…
The next day, the weekend of June 30th.
"Mr. Ye, there's a message from the Natural Science Foundation." A young man rushed into a room excitedly. Upon hearing this, Academician Ye in the room quickly asked, "So fast? How's it going?"
The academician Ye in the room is a leader in major national aerospace projects and is known as the "Dinghai Shengpin" of the "Chang'e" series development team. Just after the failure of the country's first Mars probe "Yinghuo 1", he proposed
It has established an independent Mars exploration plan and proposed to launch its own Mars probe in 2013. That means there is a launch window this year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until around 2016.
When Academician Ye was working on the "Chang'e 1", astronauts wanted to explore Mars. However, the conditions were not yet adequate at that time. But now he believes that he has the ability to detect Mars, and the launch window of the Mars probe is 26 months. This year
It’s the window period, if you miss it, you will have to wait for more than two years.
Moreover, he also said that at least for now, the implementation conditions for unmanned Mars exploration are definitely better than those for manned moon landings. As long as we are determined to do so, we will definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough in Mars exploration in three to five years.
However, his proposal failed to pass due to various reasons, and there is currently no Mars exploration plan.
The proposal failed to pass, and Academician Ye actually felt very uncomfortable.
What hundreds of scientists have rigorously scientifically demonstrated is not as good as what a director can say and what is the use of going to Mars? How much GDP can be created? Can success be guaranteed?
These questions stumped Academician Ye and he was unable to answer them, especially the question of success rate. No matter how rigorous scientific argumentation is, there is no guarantee of absolute success.
But at this moment, the young man who came to report excitedly said, "It's passed. The Natural Science Foundation not only approved the Mars deep space exploration project, but also approved the Saturn deep space exploration project, and provided full funding support, and requested
We will launch the project as soon as possible and advance it at the same time."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" After hearing this, Academician Ye was immediately excited and couldn't help but cheer. Then Academician Ye put down the work at hand and called the team for a meeting.
The news that the Natural Science Foundation approved the two major deep space exploration projects was like having wings. It quickly spread within the domestic aerospace community, attracting countless astronauts, especially the team members who participated in the formulation of the plans for the two major deep space exploration projects.
I was so excited that I jumped for joy and was excited.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Space exploration projects are all big-budget. The most difficult thing at the beginning is not the technical problem, but the budget problem.
Of course, it’s not just the beginning that’s difficult.
The middle is also difficult, and the end is also difficult.
Just because it is too difficult and the threshold is too high, in the field of space exploration, there are only a few players on the surface of the earth who can play it, and there are only three players in the world who can completely independently carry out space exploration activities.
…
Three days later, on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd.
The Natural Science Foundation of China, the Space Center of the National Academy of Sciences, and other seven institutions jointly held a press conference to announce a major piece of news, namely the establishment of the "Stars for Nine Sky" deep space exploration project.
At this time, around 14:20 in the afternoon, more than 300 media organizations came to the press conference.
Academician Ye, who attended the press conference, said to reporters, "As an overall concept, the planetary exploration project uses 'Nine Heavens of Stars' as the graphic logo of the project. The eight major planets of the solar system are arranged in sequence, expressing the colorfulness of the universe and presenting the richness of scientific discoveries.
, the open elliptical orbit is tilted upward as a whole, showing the image of the unique letter '', which represents our country's planetary exploration - hina. This set of meaningful names and graphic logos will carry the dream of China's national aerospace power..."
Many media organizations have raised eyebrows. This "Nine Sky Stars" planetary exploration project seems to be a series of projects, a general project for eight major planetary explorations.
Immediately afterwards, it was announced at a press conference that the "Nine Heavens of Stars" planetary exploration project has officially launched the "Tianwen" series of specific exploration plans, and two space exploration projects have been launched at the same time, namely the "Tianwen Saturn Exploration Project" and the "Tianwen Mars Exploration Project"
Detection Project”.
The two major projects are expected to be jointly participated by more than 200 related enterprises and institutions, and related technology companies under Qunxing Capital, including Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, will also participate.
The reporters present were quite shocked when they heard that the budgets of these two major planetary exploration programs reached 57 billion yuan, but they were not jaw-dropping because the "Sky Survey Space Telescope" was expected to cost 100 billion yuan in budget.
First, compare these two space exploration projects. They only cost 22 billion and 35 billion respectively, which seems not that excessive.
No matter how excessive it is, everyone thinks that the budget for the "Sky Survey Space Telescope" project is too much.
But this is relatively speaking, and in fact it is still a quite exaggerated budget scale.
Since the emergence of the Natural Science Foundation, domestic basic scientific research has ushered in great improvements, especially large-scale projects in the fields of astronomy and aerospace. Currently, there are the "Sky Mirror" project of space laser gravitational wave detection; infrared detection
The "Survey Space Telescope" project; and the "Nine Sky Sky Survey" planetary exploration project officially established today.
In addition, there is the "Daily Project" plan for space power stations directly promoted by Qunxing Capital.
These large-scale projects focusing on space often have budgets of tens of billions or hundreds of billions, which are really the envy of scholars in other basic scientific research fields.
