China's spacecraft was actually stuck in the neck by a piece, and European and American countries took the opportunity to rip off bamboo, and only one square meter of cloth had to be sold to China for 100,000 pieces, which once curbed the development process of China's spacecraft. But the United States claims that China may need another 10 years of research to master this technology. However, it was only not long before the United States was like an ant on a hot pot, and even more called China to deceive us all. So what's going on here? And what is the use of this sky-high price?
Speaking of this cloth worth a suite at that time, it was actually an important accessory used in spacecraft and rocket bearings, its scientific name is polytetrafluoroethylene fabric, which is also found in many factories, but because it is used in the aerospace industry, it must be the highest-end. But everyone knows that the mainland's development in this regard started relatively late, which also limited the development of many technologies to a certain extent, but the United States, which is not too big to see the excitement, actually came out again at such a critical time, and they used ordinary low-quality ones to blackmail the mainland, hoping to jam the neck of the mainland at this time. In order to achieve their unspeakable purpose, 100,000 yuan could already buy a house at that time.
Faced with such a grim situation, we finally chose to buy it for the development of the national space industry, and finally overcame all difficulties. So what is the function of this cloth that has been medicated to sky-high prices? How could the mainland accept the conditions of such a tyrant? At the end of the day, it's a lubricant. Because the joint bearing of the spacecraft needs to be active all the time, it needs the lubricator to keep it running, and if the joint shaft fails, it will directly affect the flight trajectory of the spacecraft, which is very serious. But if that's the case, why not add hot synovial fluid directly to the joint axis?
Because as we all know, the spacecraft is running in the universe, and there are countless joint axes to be maintained, and it is simply impossible to regularly send personnel up to add liquid, and in order to ensure its normal operation, it is necessary to use lubrication substances that are free of personnel maintenance, this cloth is such an important role, because its special material can be completely lubricated and wear-resistant, and does not need to be replaced, helpless according to the slow development of the mainland in this field at that time, state-owned enterprises. It is really helpless to import Western countries at sky-high prices, but how can we not feel aggrieved by the sky-high asking price of the United States?
However, it is in this grim environment that Longxi Bearing, a national enterprise in Fujian on the mainland, is really indignant, and our big country is so threatened. In order to achieve technological freedom in our country, they decided to produce PTFE on their own. But production is production, and in terms of technology research and development, we still need to rely on learning and buying from abroad. Although everyone did not want to bow to Western countries, they eventually had to take the initiative to come to the door with a large amount of funds to talk about cooperation.
If the other party can see that the relationship between the two countries is friendly and appropriate, then no matter how much fire we hold in our hearts, we will humbly ask for advice and buy. But when it came time to talk about cooperation, a series of practices in Western countries completely angered Longxi Bearing, not only for the previous preliminary negotiations, but also vainly tried to fool us with low-cost and inferior fabrics, and even when we offered a high price to buy a machine, they shamelessly refused on the spot. So ignored by other countries. Let every Chinese present be furious, and directly left the scene with funds and all personnel, in the final analysis, it is a board, our country now also has high-end technicians, why can't they be developed by their own strength?
If you want the West to suppress us with this constant insult, then we will not give you this opportunity. After the personnel of Longxi Bearing returned to China, they immediately began to study this project, in fact, the technology continent in this area is indeed a blank, the most critical place is the manufacture of this weaving fabric, this material is very difficult to find at that time, we do not have any technical guidance, can only be found from a variety of fabrics, so that it takes countless experimental attempts, it is really a difficult project.
But the country's honor and disgrace are instilled in everyone's blood, no matter how difficult the road ahead, all the engineers of Longxi Bearing have no hesitation to walk through various fabric factories, starting from scratch to study and experiment with each material, and after countless failures, these national talents finally succeeded, they relied on their own strength to develop and manufacture lubrication treasures. Moreover. It was soon applied to the joint axis of the continental Shenzhou spacecraft and the Tianwen-1 spacecraft, and this key step eventually promoted the independent development of the mainland space industry.
Since then, the development of the continent's aerospace industry has stood at the forefront of the world. In fact, as early as the nineties, the United States and other 16 countries jointly launched the International Space Station project, and China was determined to develop its own space industry at that time, so it also applied to join the project at this time. However, this request was directly rejected by the United States, which even passed congressional legislation to prevent China from joining the International Space Station, explicitly prohibiting any form of space cooperation between China and the United States. They claim that China's space technology is too backward, and that letting us join is tantamount to opening a space tuition school, hoping to achieve the despicable purpose of curbing China's scientific and technological progress and development through this practice.
Our country did not care about this, but after many years of hard work on independent research and development of scientific research technology, but after we have made great progress, Western countries led by the United States have obstructed it. China threatens the security of the National Space Station. Reason once again refused us to join NASA. For a long time after that, the United States used various reasons to prevent us from joining the space station, and later shamelessly said that if China wanted to join the International Space Station, NASA could only pay for it, but could not share technology.
Faced with all kinds of unreasonable demands, China finally had to give up the idea of joining NASA. But what no one expected was that China would be able to rely on its own strength to surpass Western France in the future. According to our own state-owned enterprises, we have established a three-step aerospace plan, that is, the first step can go to the sky, the second step can get out of the capsule, and the third step is to build our own small space station. With the rapid development of the mainland's economic construction, the country's scientific and technological strength has also made unprecedented breakthroughs, and now it has finally raised its eyebrows and independently developed the Tiangong space station. Although there was a certain gap between technology and NAS at the beginning, it is worth being proud of all Chinese people that the research and construction of Tiangong was completely completed by the mainland, and we single-handedly completed a feat that required more than ten countries to complete.
So the face is that according to the prediction of Russian scientists, the International Space Station NASA may be scrapped in 2024, thus stopping space research work, then in this way, Tiangong will be the only existing space station that can be used, and the technology of today's palace has long been overcome. However, the mainland adheres to the principle of great power demeanor and adopts an open attitude to the world, so far, 27 countries have passed the assessment to join Tiangong, and for the research of space projects to progress together, everyone has the money to contribute, and deal with it effectively. But since this is our own space station in China, the identification of all instruments on the space station is Chinese.
For each country that applies to join the Tiangong, we have also put forward the mandatory requirement that you must know Chinese, which to a certain extent is that those astronauts in Nanhua have to spend a lot of time to tutor Chinese, otherwise it will be embarrassing when Tiangong can't understand the operation. What is even more funny is that so many countries do not include the United States, not that they can't pull their faces to apply, but when the United States first submitted an application for membership, the mainland directly rejected their application, giving the reason that the technology of the US research project was not up to standard. It's really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years. Feng shui takes turns, and no one can escape.
