Chapter 520 Space Resources
Although it is said that in the information age, no technology can be kept secret forever. With the background accumulated by Western countries in the previous industrial revolutions, although they have missed the opportunity in the fourth industrial revolution now, the time to catch up may take Not too long.
After all, the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, and the third industrial revolution were first carried out and completed in Western countries, which makes them very rich in heritage, especially the United States, which has already completed the third industrial revolution. It has been in a bottleneck. If it hadn't been for the black swans that have been raging in the past few years, maybe China would have landed mines in front of it, and the United States could cross the river by touching China, and also start the fourth industrial revolution.
Under such circumstances, how to ensure one's first-mover advantage is only through conspiracy.
Especially in the current situation, Huaxia is alone, with the best economic development, the government has sufficient financial resources, and the society has sufficient capital. It has become the best choice to enter space with great fanfare.
After all, in the short term, the investment in aerospace technology is large, but it is difficult to generate large returns in a short period of time, because the expected benefits have been realized in the previous technology, and the rate of return will become smaller as a result of increasing investment, or even negative returns. Rate.
Now that China is making great fanfare to manned a manned landing on the moon, it is actually a bit like the "Star Wars" of the United States at the time, pulling competitors from one competition to another, thereby restraining the strategic focus of competitors.
And with regard to such a conspiracy, the opponent has to follow, because Huaxia is now in a leading position in controllable nuclear fusion. As long as it is announced at the right time, Huaxia will manned the moon to establish a permanent base on the moon and mine helium 3. After a set of combined punches, the opponent has to follow suit and call the landlord!
Tsk tsk tsk, is this the biggest conspiracy of the 21st century? ?
Qin Yuanqing can already imagine how much impact this meeting will have on the world's aerospace industry after it is reported, coupled with the space activities in the near future.
In addition, NASA's funding has been cut continuously in the past few years. It is estimated that in order to keep the funding from being cut, and even increase the funding, it will also perform divine assists.
Sometimes it is like this, even in Qin Yuanqing's mind, it is already very good to be able to develop lunar resources and realize second-generation fusion within 30 years, but after the help of some pig teammates and the amplification of the media, it may become China wants to realize moon mining within ten years, and under the pressure of public opinion, its opponents will not be able to follow suit.
Just as China achieved a historic breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion, both Europe and the United States have increased their investment in controllable nuclear fusion, hoping to keep up with the pace, rather than being left far behind, or even appearing Because the Ministry of Energy was eager for quick success and quick profits, it made a big joke.
In the same way, China marches into the moon with great fanfare. To develop the moon, frequent space activities will make them have to follow. Otherwise, there will be no votes. Otherwise, once China mines resources on the moon and takes measures first, it will be bad. up.
Although Europe, America, or China are all claiming that space belongs to all mankind, and the moon belongs to all mankind, just listen to this, whoever believes it is a fool!
Wait until all the good positions are occupied and a permanent base is established, then try it out. It is estimated that the electromagnetic gun or laser cannon will be launched before it comes down.
Just like the high seas on the earth today, it does not mean that they are not subject to the sovereignty of any country. No country can take any part of the high seas as its own and cannot exercise jurisdiction over the high seas itself. This is included in the Convention on the Seas as a recognized principle of international law .
But whoever believes this is a fool. Without a strong navy, if you want to sail freely, that's just talking. Once the critical moment comes, others will be able to choke your neck and ask you whether you accept it or not!
Although as a scholar, he can't bear to see such a waste of the earth's resources, but how can I say that he is a Chinese.
Science has no borders, but scientists have nationality!
I just tell the truth, but there is no falsehood!If you want to follow suit, you can only blame yourselves for eagerness for success and profit, and for overestimating your capabilities!
Of course, if Qin Yuanqing is asked to publish some wrong papers or remarks, Qin Yuanqing will definitely not do it. As a scholar, he has his persistence and bottom line, and he will never speak of black as white against his conscience.
During the lunch break, Qin Yuanqing accepted media interviews.
"Academician Qin, hello, what do you think about the manned moon landing!?" A beautiful reporter asked.
"Our Chinese manned landing on the moon, from a technical point of view, there is no longer any problem, and we can fully support manned landing on the moon. Prior to this, our country has been exploring the Chang'e series of projects for nearly 20 years, and has accumulated a wealth of experience. Experience, we brought back 40 kilograms of lunar soil from the moon, which also gave us a lot of results in the study of the moon, basically we have completed a series of surveying, mapping and exploration of the moon!" Qin Yuanqing said about China's manned The moon landing project is full of confidence.
"Then do you think that this manned moon landing project will cause some criticism overseas, such as ownership?" asked the beautiful reporter.
"Space resources belong to all mankind. This is a consensus formed very early on. The resources are where they are. As long as they have the ability, any company or any country can carry out space activities." Qin Yuanqing said righteously, "Our country We have always emphasized win-win cooperation. The scientific exploration data obtained on Chang'e [-] and [-] were developed and shared with scientists all over the world. In recent years, we have also presented lunar soil as gifts to some friendly countries, making at least two Ten countries have obtained lunar soil to start research."
"In a community of shared future for mankind, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe. We welcome any friendly country to work with us, and even after the completion of the 'Double Ring Space Station' in the future, we will not allow friendly countries to spaceflight. Members to work at the 'Shuanghuan Space Station'!" Qin Yuanqing said, standing on the commanding heights of morality.
And that beautiful reporter was speechless to the extreme, screaming helplessly, how could this be so, how could there be hot news like this.
Who doesn't know that the saying that space resources belong to all mankind is universally correct, but the problem is not that everyone can use space resources, let alone manned landing on the moon.There are also friendly countries, how is this defined?Let astronauts from friendly countries work in the 'Double Ring Space Station', but one of the keys is that friendly countries must be able to train astronauts.
Even now, among the 193 countries in the world, those capable of training astronauts are definitely counting on both hands!
"The future of mankind is not on the earth, but in space. Space resources are much more abundant than those available on earth," Qin Yuanqing said.
Space resources is a very broad concept, which generally refers to the considerable environment and materials in space that can be exploited and utilized by human beings.These mainly include high-distance resources relative to the ground, high-vacuum and ultra-clean environmental resources, microgravity environmental resources, solar energy resources, lunar resources, planetary resources, etc.
Not to mention outside the solar system, only within the solar system, there are abundant mineral resources on celestial bodies such as the moon, Mars, and asteroids.There are abundant hydrogen energy resources on Jupiter-like planets and comets.In planetary space and interplanetary space, there are vacuum resources, radiation resources, and large temperature difference resources, and the utilization efficiency of solar energy there is much higher than that on the earth.
When everyone hears solar radiation, their faces change. In fact, solar radiation is also a resource!
In fact, the current human beings are still small compared to space. They can hardly imagine the importance of space resources to human beings. Only by obtaining resources from space can human beings truly walk out of the cradle of life on the earth.
If human beings want to have a great future, it is not advisable to stay on the earth, and sooner or later they will enter into internal friction.And only by stepping out of the earth will there be great prospects!
Scientists have a highly consistent view on this point, so since the advent of spacecraft, the first thing scientists think of is the use of orbital resources in space, that is, the unique advantage of taking advantage of the high position.As we all know, stand tall and see far.The earth's space orbit is far away from the earth's surface and higher than the atmosphere, where the earth can be viewed from different heights and angles, especially the earth-synchronous and sun-synchronous orbits have special significance.
To this end, all kinds of spacecraft aiming at developing orbital resources in space are racing to launch.For example, the communication satellite is to move the original radio relay station on the ground to the satellite, thus greatly improving the coverage area and transmission distance of the signal, communication quality and anti-destructiveness, reducing the cost, and making a qualitative leap in communication technology.Remote sensing satellites are equivalent to space observation platforms, which have the advantages of wide observation range, multiple observation times, fast timeliness, and good continuity, and play a huge role in promoting weather forecasts, land resource development, and marine resource development.The navigation satellite is set as the reference point in space. It can overcome a series of shortcomings such as the limited signal propagation distance of the ground radio navigation station. It is the most advanced navigation technology.
From the "commanding heights" in space, you can not only watch the earth, but also look at the sky.Astronomical observations there are not affected by the atmosphere, making full-band astronomical observations easy.Astronomical satellites and space stations are ideal observatories.
Why did Qin Yuanqing participate in this manned moon landing seminar? It was not just to publicize and warm up for manned moon landing, nor was it just to add fire to this golden age of space from the perspective of academic authority, so that competition The opponent plays to keep up.
It is because Qin Yuanqing hopes that the human elite will shift their attention from the earth to the vast space, and turn their resources from involution to space. That is the future of mankind. China is big but China is also small. Doing business, sooner or later there will be bad negative effects.
Moreover, the population of Huaxia has reached 14.5 billion people. Even if desert control and desertification have greatly improved the environment and expanded living space, for Huaxia, 14.5 billion people still seem to be under great pressure. , China will usher in a large number of depopulation, but even with an optimistic estimate, by 2035, there will be at least 12 billion people in China!
