The Lagrange Space Station and Mars Scientific Research Station projects were approved at the same time!
Not only that, but the meeting also proposed a series of strategic goals, including "completing the manned landing on Mars within the year" and "environmental inspection at the Lagrange Point".
From this tight schedule, it could be seen that the whole plan was not a smokescreen. China really planned to do something big in the aerospace field.
For the aerospace industry, this was probably the most exciting news this year or even the beginning of last year!
The afternoon after the meeting.
The office of the design department of the Beijing Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.
"Have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"Our country plans to build a permanent space station at the Lagrange Point!"
"Lagrange Point Space Station? You mean the blueprint of Academician Lu? "
"What else could it be? Sigh! Academician Lu is nutty! I heard that there was a meeting at Chang 'an Avenue this morning. The elder who presided over the meeting showed the concept map of the space station through a holographic projection device. All the participants were shocked! The final vote was almost an overwhelming victory. The two projects will be started immediately! "
One of the engineers said eagerly in his heart.
"Is it that crazy? What does the concept map look like? "
"I don't know! I just heard it from others, but since the news has already spread, it shouldn't be something that needs to be kept secret. We should have a chance to see the concept map in two days! "
In fact, China did not intend to keep it a secret this time.
Since the successful establishment of the Moon Palace space station, it had marked China's unshakable position in the aerospace field. There was no need to hide everything like before.
Whether it was the Lagrange Point Space Station or the Mars Scientific Research Station, even if the relevant units released the drawings, other countries might not be able to copy the exact same project.
This was not only a test of pure industrial capacity, but also the industrial scale of a country in the aerospace field.
So far, only China, which had more than ten large transport spacecraft and had successfully realized the development of rare earth mineral resources on the moon, had the conditions to complete this grand plan.
Because it was not a confidential project, the results of the meeting quickly spread to various aerospace research institutes in Beijing at an incredible speed.
The day after the conference ended, all the scholars in the Chinese aerospace industry who were active in the field already knew about this matter.
At the same time, the relevant departments also held a press conference to announce the results to the media around the world.
Almost at the same time when this news was publicly announced, people all over the world were shocked by the news of their loved ones!
NASA Headquarters.
Because it was lunch break, most of the engineers sitting in the office were eating sandwiches and drinking coffee while watching YouTube videos.
When they saw a piece of news from CNN, almost everyone froze on the spot. They froze for a while before they came back to their senses with a blink of their eyes.
China plans to build a space station at a Lagrange point?
Mars Scientific Research Station?
Stop joking! They had never been to Mars! Why would they build a Mars scientific research station?
And the Lagrange Space Station...
That was something that would only appear in sci-fi movies. With the current material science and engineering technology, it was impossible to achieve such a feat. Even if it was achieved, it would be completely useless.
At least they couldn't imagine, with the current scale of the aerospace industry on Earth, whether it was from the commercial or scientific research level, what was the point of building a space station there?
Counting stars?
Many people's first reaction was that this was fake news.
Some people even sneered and said disdainfully, "This guy is getting better and better at bragging."
After all, this could be regarded as CNN's tradition.
However, they soon discovered that CNN was not the only media reporting this news.
After a short moment of silence, the office immediately exploded.
“WTF？！ China plans to build a permanent space station at a Lagrange point?! "
"Mars Scientific Research Station?! Send people to Mars? Are they crazy? "
"They just built a Guanghan Special Economic Zone, and now they're thinking about Mars?!"
"And they're thinking about Mars and Lagrange points at the same time …"
"There are only five Lagrange points, and only two of them are stable! We must report this news to the Congress immediately! Let them realize the seriousness of the problem! "
The office, which was originally as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, instantly boiled as if the entire pool of water had been boiled …
…
Los Angeles Daily: Lagrange Point Space Base Project!
New York Times: Mars Base Scientific Research Station Road Map Announced! China will launch a manned Mars landing plan!
The Times: A challenge to NASA? A challenge to the future! A blueprint shows the ambitions of China's aerospace strategy!
: NASA's director refuses to comment. Analysts say NASA may not take the bait this time!
Beijing Evening News: …
Explosive news was released from the aerospace field one after another, and it quickly replaced the Century of Physics Congress and 100 Questions of the Century that had been on the Internet some time ago. It became the new hot topic that people were discussing and following.
Especially when they saw the concept map of the Lagrange point space base released in the news, many people remembered the space fortress that appeared in the center of the Bird's Nest stadium at last year's National Day celebration!
The majestic space fortress floating in the holographic image almost satisfied most people's fantasies about the universe and the future, which were full of romantic colors.
And now, all of this was actually becoming a reality!
No wonder the heated discussion on the Internet was so huge.
As the chief consultant and chief engineer of the Lunar Orbit Committee, Lu Zhou certainly wouldn't miss this important news.
In fact, about five minutes after the end of the meeting, Director Li called him and told him this exciting good news.
Especially when he talked about the overwhelming vote, the old man was so excited that he almost shouted.
In contrast, Lu Zhou was relatively calm. The only thing he was a little worried about was whether the old man's heart would be overwhelmed.
As for the Lagrange point space base and the Mars scientific research station project, he wasn't worried at all.
As for why …
One of the biggest reasons was that in his opinion, there was almost no suspense in the passing of these two projects.
Especially after chatting with the First Elder in Shanghai that day, he basically had an idea in his mind.
Even if the relevant departments didn't have the spare time to think about the future a hundred years later, they would definitely be able to see the driving effect of these two projects on the overall China aerospace industry.
Now that the Guanghan Special Zone was on the right track, if China wanted to continue to lead in the aerospace field in the next century, it must find a long-term goal to implement.
The Lagrange point space base and the Mars colonization plan were undoubtedly a suitable choice.
As for the other reason …
