NASA headquarters, USA.
At the moment, compared with the jubilation of the honeycomb laboratory, NASA in Washington is solemn.
"Dr. Connor, what about the computer simulation?"
NASA director Charles has a chocolate complexion. In this country with serious discrimination, he can sit in such a high position. He has to say that his ability is excellent.
But at the moment, the expression on Charles''s face was very ugly.
When Dr. Connor heard the director''s question, he raised his glasses and said, "according to the data simulated by our computer, the diameter of the space station is more than 150 kilometers. If the ecological cycle system inside is perfect, it is expected that more than one million people can live."
"A million?"
Dr. Connor: "yes, that''s our lowest estimate."
"Can they improve the ecosystem? You know, all the biosphere projects we tried so hard failed."
Charles looked at the screen in front of him. On the screen, there was a roughly simulated 3D image of the star ring city.
Dr. Connor hesitated for a moment. "Mr. director, we also have no ability to build a city on the synchronous track!"
Charles looked at Dr. Connor and sighed.
The entire city around the star adopts the optical stealth technology of the honeycomb laboratory. Therefore, whether it is radar detection or photography, it is impossible to see the space fortress in synchronous orbit. As long as the star ring city does not take the initiative to expose it, no one can see it at all.
The model obtained by NASA has been simulated based on the observation of the work of the C-2 robot for so long.
……
The White House.
On hearing from NASA, * * * convened another emergency meeting.
"Gentlemen, this is the latest news from NASA."
With that, * * * asked the assistant to distribute a stack of materials.
The staff picked up the information in front of them and looked at it carefully.
what is it? A model?
Although everyone was confused, no one took the initiative to ask.
"This is a city built in geosynchronous orbit!" Trump pointed to his head. "It''s right above our heads."
"How is that possible?"
"It''s impossible, Mr. President!" An aide 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 seen with the naked eye even if we stand on the earth."
Trump glanced at him and said faintly, "your question is very good, sir."
He paused. "But what if the people who built this city mastered far more stealth technology than us?"
"Pasar islands?!"
People instantly thought of this country and frowned.
"Mr. President," murmured the chief of staff, "was this city built in the pasar islands?"
"Yes, they are!" Trump nodded.
Hearing the speech, everyone couldn''t help taking a breath of air conditioning.
What is the concept of a city built on a synchronous track?
What''s more, the diameter of the city is more than 150 kilometers. Regardless of the positions of both sides, this is simply a miracle in the history of human architecture.
The chief of staff thought for a moment, looked at trump and said, "Mr. President, even if we know that they built this space city, what can we do?
Congress does not support the development of space projects. Every year, we invest a lot of money in NASA, but there is almost no return. "
The chief of staff''s meaning is very clear, not to mention whether the United States can build a city in space.
Just putting forward the plan, Congress will not approve it.
How much does it cost to build a city in space? Don''t you see that building a space station is still a partnership between several countries.
How big is the international space station?
Less than 100 tons. In other words, the international space station is far inferior even to the discovery armed transport ship, let alone the star ring city.
What is the concept of Star 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.
If the United States wants to build such a city in geosynchronous orbit, let alone whether it can do it technically, this huge amount of work alone is enough to bankrupt the United States.
Even Fang Cheng, with controllable nuclear fusion technology and anti gravity technology, has the basis for the implementation of this plan.
Coupled with the abnormal production capacity of the intelligent unmanned factory, the space fortress was finally successfully established.
Trump frowned after listening to the chief of staff, which was not quite like his own style of chief of staff. You know, his chief of staff is from the Marine Corps and has always been a hawk.
But this time, listening to his tone, there was a smell of advice.
"Mr. chief of staff," trump looked at him deeply, "we really can''t control them to build a city in outer space, but how can you ensure that they don''t build this city for military purposes?"
"What do you mean?"
***"According to international space law, no country of the United Nations is allowed to deploy military bases and militarized weapons in space," he said quickly
Hearing this, the chief of staff''s eyes gradually lit up.
"They built such a huge space city, which is naturally suspected of being used as a military base."
"That''s right!" Trump nodded. "In fact, that''s what I''m worried about."
"In that case, I think we need to convene a United Nations Conference on how to deal with this space city!"
Everyone nodded deeply.
In fact, the space law stipulates that countries are not allowed to deploy military bases and military weapons, which is some nonsense.
This law, first of all, has no meaning for small countries, because they simply do not have the ability to send satellites to heaven.
But for big countries, it doesn''t make much sense.
What if it costs a lot to build a military fortress in space?
The larger the fortress is built, the more difficult it is to change the orbit with current technology. In addition, it is difficult to supply. Even if a military fortress can be built, it is not as cost-effective as building an aircraft carrier in terms of cost and efficiency.
The law is almost nonsense.
Of course, from the perspective of prevention, we have to say that this space law is to maintain world peace.
After all, if we can''t do it now, it doesn''t mean we can''t do it in the future.
But this law must be a dead letter. The first country that can build a military base in space will build it.
Just like the first country that can build an aircraft carrier will build an aircraft carrier.
As for the reason?
Is defending the earth a reason?
……
Fang Cheng, who is far away in Anlu Island, naturally doesn''t know that the star ring city is remembered.
In fact, even if he knows, it''s nothing.
Because next, the pasar islands will carry out a space migration program.
The plan was launched in the name of the government of the pasar islands.
The purpose is to invite the first batch of humans all over the world to live in the outer ring space of the star ring city.
In this way, the star city will be displayed like the world, and naturally it can no longer be kept secret.
