The whole press conference ended with the excitement of Wang Xu and others. It can be said that the new machine press conference is full of harvest for Tiangong technology. After all, it is an intended order of more than 1000 aircraft!
The total amount of orders for these more than 1000 aircraft is as high as hundreds of billions. Even for this aircraft, the price is not very high, but with so many quantities, Tiangong technology can earn at least tens of billions of profits.

Of course, although Wang Bin also paid some attention to the press conference, he didn''t spend more time. After all, Wang Bin has handed over the press conference to the senior management of Tiangong technology such as Wang Xu, so Wang Bin believes that they will do it well.
Therefore, after they developed the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, Wang Bin plunged into the design and development of large and medium-sized aircraft of Tiangong technology.
Of course, at this time, the most important project for Tiangong technology is to cooperate with the government to build a space station.
The space station they built in cooperation with Tiangong technology and the government is not a project already under construction by the government.
After all, the space station under construction by the government is also an earth low orbit space station in real time, and in addition to the government itself, many countries have also joined the construction of the space station.
According to the results of discussions between Wang Bin and the government, the space station, which is jointly operated by Tiangong technology and the government, will no longer be an earth orbit space station, but a medium orbit space station.
According to Wang Bin''s discussion, the orbital height of the space station they are about to build will reach 5000 kilometers.
In addition, according to Wang Bin''s plan, the volume of the space station will be larger than that of the official space station currently under construction. After the completion of the space station, it will not only carry out various scientific research tasks and the life and survival support of astronauts, but also undertake deep space relay, deep space positioning, deep space exploration, air to ground communication and other tasks.
In addition, this space station will undertake a very important task in the future, that is, the task of Space Relay gas station.
That is, the task of providing fuel for various manned spacecraft of Tiangong technology in the future. It can be said that the technical difficulty of the whole project is hell even for today''s Tiangong technology.
After all, according to the preliminary design drawings, the tonnage of the core module of the space station alone is as high as 50 tons. If you want to send such a heavy core module of the space station to an orbital height of 5000 kilometers, with the current ability of Tiangong technology, in addition to the tiangong-9 rocket to be developed, the whole China and even the whole world, No rocket can put this core module into orbit.
Of course, if it was decades ago, there were rockets that could put this core module into orbit, then the bald eagle''s Saturn five rocket.
But now the whole world, no rocket has this ability.
Except that the weight of the core module will reach 50 tons, the weight of other modules of the whole space station is not light. At least they have reached more than 30 tons. Most importantly, these modules will no longer be cylindrical like those of the traditional space station. The shapes of these modules, including the core module, are rectangular.
Although there are many disadvantages in designing the space station cabin into a rectangle, the biggest one is that the space inside the rectangle is much smaller than that of the cylinder.
They are all rectangular compartments, which also have their own advantages, that is, rectangular compartments are easier for individuals to realize space Patchwork and welding.
In this way, the space station can be made larger and can withstand greater compression and tension.
After all, according to Wang Bin''s prediction, the overall weight of the space station will exceed the space station already under construction by the government, reaching thousands of tons. At the same time, there will be multiple pairs of interfaces on the space station, and the purpose of these pairs of interfaces is naturally to prepare for docking space aircraft and spacecraft in the future.
Of course, building such a huge space station will naturally require astronauts'' space operations in the future, such as fixed welding between modules. At present, Tiangong technology has not developed special engineering robots for space environment, so it must be realized manually.
Therefore, once the space station is built, it will naturally require a large number of astronauts.
To this end, in fact, Wang Bin and Tiangong technology have already sat down and prepared. All the astronauts they own in Tiangong technology have reached more than 30 people.
There seems to be a large number of astronauts with more than 30 people, but in fact, it is far from enough for his whole space station plan, let alone a larger space plan in the future.
For example, the high orbit space station program, the lunar orbit space station program, the lunar survival research base program, and so on.
Because of this, Wang Bin and Tiangong technology have submitted a number of application reports to the government, hoping that the government can give Tiangong technology at least 100 astronauts.
In this regard, the official also replied to Tiangong technology in recent days. These astronauts will report on Tiangong technology in the near future.
But these astronauts are only novices in this field after basic training.
After all, astronauts with aerospace experience are very valuable even for officials. Naturally, there can be no surplus for Tiangong technology. Even Tiangong technology is now a real regular army.
Wang Bin doesn''t care too much about this. After all, for example, the test flight of Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology has reached a high stage. Only in terms of prototypes, Tiangong technology has produced three aircraft, and this small-scale production has also been launched.
According to the speed of construction, in the next year, the number of aerospace aircraft owned by Tiangong technology will reach more than 10.
All, as long as these astronauts come and let them go to heaven with the test flight aircraft for a few rounds, then these astronauts will be fine.
Now the most urgent problem facing the astronauts of Tiangong technology is how to make these astronauts quickly master the technology of space welding and so on.
After all, assembling space station modules in space is no better than those on the ground. Even if professional technicians on the ground come into space manually, they may not be able to do it, let alone astronauts.
So, once the space station starts construction, they must master these professional skills.
Of course, in addition to these, there are various professional tools used in space. Their Tiangong technology should also pay close attention to research and development, such as welding machines used in space, professional welding rods used in space, etc.
In addition, in terms of space suits, the current ordinary space suits can not carry out all kinds of engineering work in space, so there must be professional space suits, preferably hard space suits, that is, exoskeleton full coverage space suits.
