Yang Panpan left, and after she left she left Yang Nuomi with several million views.

As soon as Yang Panpan left, Yang Nuomi, seeing such a huge amount of traffic, felt a bit at a loss.

Yang Zhuhai appeared just in time.

Hello everyone, I am Yang Zhuhai.

Next, I and Nuomi will lead everyone on a tour of Heavenly Vessel Aerospace City.

First, we will visit the Heavenly Vessel Exhibition Hall.

Let's look at the achievements Heavenly Vessel has made over the years, then look at what achievements it will make in the future; Heavenly Vessel Company will progress together with everyone.

Everyone knows that Heavenly Vessel's first-generation rocket is the light rocket.

Almost all research on reusability has been completed.

The fuel has also shifted from liquid oxygen kerosene engines to more environmentally friendly and cheaper liquid oxygen methane engines.

The rocket's maximum number of reuses has also suddenly reached the current maximum of 32 times.

For rocket engines, we now have a small engine with 80 tons of thrust and a medium engine with 230 tons of thrust.

We also have plans to research an engine with even greater thrust.

Currently, Heavenly Vessel's main product is liquid oxygen methane rockets.

The main purpose is to carry out commercial development.

To a limited extent, we cooperate with Daxia on other space mission work.

The manned spacecraft currently paired with the light rocket uses Daxia Aerospace technology and can carry three passengers.

However, after our cargo spacecraft research succeeded, we upgraded the manned spacecraft; its passenger capacity can now be increased to a maximum of five.

Follow our gaze, let's take a look here.

Deng deng deng…

This is tomorrow's main character, the Heaven-Supporting Rocket, a medium-sized rocket with a diameter of 5.6 meters.

It can deliver 33 tons of payload to low Earth orbit.

Paired with the medium rocket is the Mengqi Number manned spacecraft.

The Mengqi Number spacecraft comes in two versions.

One version is a pure manned spacecraft without a supply module, with a maximum capacity of 27 people.

The other version is a comprehensive manned spacecraft with a supply module, accommodating about 12 to 18 people.

Additionally, the medium rocket also has a medium cargo spacecraft.

However, it is currently undergoing reusability research and experiments.

For now, there is no use for this cargo spacecraft.

Only after the Yun Ding Tian Gong is fully constructed will the medium cargo spacecraft have a use case.

Moreover, if the medium cargo spacecraft experiment succeeds, Heavenly Vessel may develop a new type of manned spacecraft based on its technology.

It should be somewhat like a space shuttle.

Exactly how it will be, please look forward to it.

Live Broadcast Room.

I originally thought Heavenly Vessel's product line was rather monotonous, but after Yang Zhuhai's introduction, it is practically a complete product line.

It can satisfy most space tourism demands.

I suddenly understood why Heavenly Vessel set those space stay durations.

This is entirely based on their existing manned spacecraft.

From three people up to over twenty.

Perfectly covers the demand.

A diameter of 5.6 meters is about the size of a large room; the space hotel should not feel cramped.

5.6 meters is quite large; in the past, that would be the bay width of a noble's house.

I heard the space hotel is 26 meters long.

Damn, the area must be over a hundred square meters!

This is like sending an entire apartment up there.

No wonder they say a cabin module can house twenty to thirty people; it really can.

Now I have a picture; I used to think they'd be crammed together going up, but who knew they enjoy a four-bedroom, two-living-room layout.

Suddenly, I don't think it's expensive; a house in the sky isn't worth a hundred billion.

Having you spend several tens of millions is completely not expensive.

I'm a foreigner, and I also want to go.

………

………

Yang Zhuhai continues the introduction here.

Now we have arrived at the position, which is Heavenly Vessel's future planning map.

Just now someone guessed whether Heavenly Vessel plans to do tourism on several major planets.

Let me tell you, your guess is absolutely correct.

Everyone, look: Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, and so on.

Heavenly Vessel has development plans for all these places.

They say Mercury is all molten lava, while Venus is everywhere with lightning, thunder, and acid rain.

All are unsuitable for human habitation.

Actually this idea is not correct.

The environment of Mercury and Venus is so harsh largely because they are too close to the Sun.

That is, they receive too much sunlight and solar wind.

But these are not problems for our future.

We can install reflectors or light filters near Lagrange to effectively solve these problems.

Once the planetary environment is no longer so harsh.

We can build large numbers of solar power stations on the planet, and this energy is sufficient to support our in-depth development of Mercury and Venus.

Now look at Mars.

Mars's problem is its core cooling.

Its atmosphere is heavily stripped by the solar wind, resulting in insufficient greenhouse gases.

Everyone, look where is this?

This is the Kuiper Belt, that is, the asteroid belt.

There are many ideas for restarting Mars's core.

But Heavenly Vessel believes that impact is the most effective method.

Coincidentally, Mars is adjacent to the asteroid belt.

As long as we equip these asteroids with engines and slightly alter their orbits,

they can all collide with Mars.

While restarting Mars's core, we can also effectively increase Mars's mass.

Let it develop toward an environment suitable for humans.

Once we have developed these five major resources—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt—we will have enough power to develop farther planets Jupiter, Saturn, etc.

Jupiter and Saturn are both gas giants.

We can fully utilize their huge gravity to test light-speed spacecraft technology on them.

We can even try to create spacetime wormholes using their gravitational effects.

In Heavenly Vessel's vision, Saturn-Jupiter is the final place to be developed.

They will be important test sites for humanity's spacetime experiments.

As soon as Yang Zhuhai finished speaking, not only the people in the Live Broadcast Room, but even Yang Nuomi were astonished.

I never expected Heavenly Vessel's plan to be so grand.

Space tourism is merely a tiny, insignificant beginning of it.

Resources are the foundation of human civilization; if humanity can truly make good use of the resources of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt, human technological civilization will develop to an extremely terrifying extent.

By then, conducting spacetime experiments will likely be technologically sufficient.

Plus, Saturn and Jupiter are these two huge gravitational sources.

They can become a natural spacetime test site.

The feasibility is very high.

Although Yang Nuomi didn't study well, the Live Broadcast Room had countless talents who quickly discovered the feasibility of Heavenly Vessel Company's plan.

Don't think it's impossible in a short time.

With the rapid explosion of AI technology, human technology will also explode at an unimaginable speed.

Humanity's development over the past century surpasses the achievements of tens of thousands of years.

As long as we go in the right direction, the speed of technological progress will far exceed human imagination.

Heavenly Vessel Company's plan now seems a bit fantastical, but who could have imagined what it would look like a hundred years later?
