Chapter 317
United States, NASA (NASA) headquarters.
At this moment, compared with the joy of the Hive Lab, NASA in Washington is solemn.
"Connor Academician, how does the computer simulate the situation?"
NASA Administrator Charles has a chocolate complexion. In this country with serious discrimination, he can sit in such a high position. , I have to say that the ability is extraordinary.
Only at this moment, the expression on Charles's face is very ugly.
Connor Academician heard the director’s question and lifted his glasses and said: “According to the data simulated by our computer, the diameter of this space station is more than 150 kilometers. If the ecological circulation system inside is perfect, It is estimated that more than one million people can live."
"One million?"
Connor Academician: "Yes, this is our lowest estimate."
"Can they improve the ecological system? You know, the biosphere project that we spent so much experimenting with has all failed."
Charles looked at the screen in front of him. It is a roughly simulated 3D image of the Star Ring City.
Connor Academician hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Secretary, we also don't have the ability to build a city on synchronous orbit!"
hearing this, Charles glanced at Connor Academician, sighed.
The entire Star Ring City uses the optical stealth technology of the Honeycomb Laboratory. Therefore, no matter it is radar detection or photographing, it is impossible to see the space fortress on the synchronous orbit. As long as Star Ring City does not take the initiative to expose it, no one can see it at all.
The model obtained by NASA is still simulated based on the observation of the work of the C-2 robot for so long.
……
The White House.
Getting news from NASA, *** held an emergency meeting again.
"Gentlemen, this is the latest news from NASA."
Speaking, *** instructed the assistant to distribute the pile of materials.
The aides picked up the information in front of them and looked at it carefully.
What is this? A model?
Although everyone was puzzled, no one took the initiative to ask.
"This is a city built on Earth's synchronous orbit!" Tromp pointed upwards, "It's just above our heads."
"How is it possible?" "
"This is impossible, Mr. President!" A staff member stood up and objected, "According to the data on the data, an artificial celestial body with a diameter of more than 150 kilometers can be naked even if we stand on Earth. eye sees it."
Tramp glanced at him, indifferently said: "Sir, your question is very good."
He paused, "But if it builds Do people in this city have invisible technology far beyond ours?"
"The Passa Islands?!"
Everyone frowned when they thought of this country for a moment.
"Mr. President," the chief of staff said solemnly, "Is this city built in the Passa Islands?"
"Yes, it is them!" Trump nodded .
hearing this, everyone couldn't help taking a breath.
What is the concept of a city built on a synchronous track?
even more how, the diameter of this city is as high as 150 kilometers. Putting aside the positions of both parties, this is simply a miracle in the history of human architecture.
The chief of staff pondered for a moment and looked towards Trump and said: "Mr. President, even if we know that they built this space city, what can be done?
Development The space program is not supported by Congress. Every year, the funds we invest in NASA are massive, but there is almost no return."
The chief of staff's meaning is very clear, not to mention that the United States can It is impossible to build a city in space.
Just proposing this plan, Congress will not approve it.
How much does it cost to build a city in space? Didn't you see the establishment of a space station, is it still a partnership of several countries?
How big is the International Space Station?
Less than one hundred tons. In other words, the International Space Station is far inferior even compared to the Discovery armed transport ship, let alone compared to the Star Ring City.
What is the concept of Star Ring City?
Putting the International Space Station in front of it is equivalent to putting a golf ball on a golf course, in fact it is even smaller.
The United States wants to build such a city on the Earth Synchronous Orbit, tentatively not to mention whether it can be done technically, the huge amount of engineering alone is enough to bankrupt the United States.
Even Fang Cheng, relying on controllable nuclear fusion technology and anti-gravity technology, has the basis for the implementation of this plan.
In addition to the abnormal production capacity of the smart unmanned factory, this space fortress was finally successfully established.
After listening to the chief of staff's words, Trump frowned, which does not seem to be the style of his chief of staff. You know, his chief of staff comes from the Marine Corps and has always been a hawk.
But this time, listening to his tone, there is a sense of confession.
"Mr. Chief of Staff," Tromp looked towards him with a deep gaze, "They build a city in outer space. We really can't control it, but how can you guarantee that they will not build this city for military use? What is the purpose?"
"What do you mean?"
*** quickly said: "According to the international space law, no country in the United Nations is allowed to deploy military bases in space. And militarized weapons."
After hearing this, the chief of staff's eyes gradually brightened.
"They built such a huge space city, naturally they are suspected of being used as a military base."
"Yes!" Trump nodded, "In fact, this is exactly what What I am worried about."
"In that case, I think we need to hold a UN conference on how to deal with this space city!"
Everyone agrees that nodded .
In fact, the space law stipulates that countries do not allow the deployment of military bases and military weapons, which is a bit nonsense.
This law, first of all, has no meaning for small countries, because they simply don't have the ability to send satellites to the sky.
But for big countries, it actually doesn't make much sense.
What about building a military fortress in space at a huge cost?
The larger the fortress is built, the more difficult it is to change the trajectory with the current technology. In addition, it is difficult to replenish. Even if a military fortress can be built, it is better to build an aircraft carrier in terms of cost and efficiency. It's a good deal.
This law is almost nonsense.
Of course, from the perspective of preventing problems before they happen, I have to say that this space law is to maintain the peace of the world.
After all, you can’t do it now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future.
But this law must be a dead letter, and the first country that can build a military base in space will definitely build it.
Just like the first country that can build an aircraft carrier will definitely build an aircraft carrier.
As for the reason?
Is it a reason to defend Earth?
……
Fang Cheng, far away on Anlu Island, naturally didn't know that Starring City was missed.
In fact, even if he knew it, it was nothing.
Because next, the Passa Islands will carry out a space migration program.
This project was launched in the name of the Pasar Islands government.
The aim is to invite the first group of human beings to live in the outer circle space of Starring City throughout the world.
In this way, the Star Ring City will be displayed like the whole world, and naturally it can no longer be kept secret.
