Chapter 0643: Ye Rou's safety is more important than anything else

In order to fulfill the agreement between Huaxia and Gu Yu, Huaxia's national television station has set up a special reporter station here in Guchao Technology and dispatched a reporter to be stationed there. This time, Gu Chao Space let the aerospace plane set off for the second time, without any notice in advance, so the national TV station did not receive the news. After the aerospace plane took off, Guchao Technology immediately sent a short message to the outside world, and at the same time contacted the relevant national departments to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

After the national TV station got the news, it immediately realized that this was a big news, this is a space race with the United States Space Agency, there are at least two very valuable news in it, which can attract the attention of the world, the first is naturally to compete who can reach the moon first, and the second is that the pilot and crew of the aerospace plane this time are not Gu Yu, nor Yang Kun, but Ye Rou and Blisi, both of them are women, not to mention, and they are not astronauts from the professional class, if they can land on the moon smoothly, not only can women all over the world grow their ambition, but also prove that Gu Yu has mastered the method of systematically training ordinary people to become astronauts, not to mention anything else, these two news points alone are enough to detonate the world.

Although the state television station was not able to broadcast the relevant news live from the beginning, after realizing the news value of the incident, they immediately asked the resident reporter to get in touch with Gu Yu and asked for a special column on the news channel to broadcast the news live. If possible, get the right to cover the world as we did last time.

In response to the request of the national TV station, Gu Yu just nodded and asked someone to communicate with the national TV station.

Soon, the two sides reached an agreement, and the national television station got the exclusive news coverage of the space plane's flight to the moon at the price of giving Gu Chao Technology a free minute of advertising time every day for a set of programs next year. Immediately, the national television station began broadcasting the program to the world.

At this time, all countries in the world that have the ability to detect space have detected the situation of the space plane flying into space, some have guessed it, some have not guessed it, but there has been no definite news, and as soon as the live broadcast of Huaxia National Television came out, the whole world will be clear about this matter.

Especially when the national television station reported the two news flashpoints of the space travel of the aerospace aircraft, the people watching melons all over the world immediately understood that this was a counterattack made by Gu Chao Technology in response to the provocation of the United States. Regardless of the rest, the space shuttle of the country alone has been departing for several days, and the trip is already halfway through, at this time, Ye Rou is driving the space plane to set off, if the space plane of Gu Chao Technology is allowed to land on the moon before the Apollo 20 space shuttle, then the face of the space agency of the country will be thrown all over the world, and it will not be able to pick it up.

The whole world has widened its eyes, and it is not a big deal to see the excitement, and they have discussed the competition between Gu Chao Technology and the United States Space Agency through various channels, some support the United States, and some support Gu Chao Technology, on the whole, there are still more people who support Gu Chao Technology, after all, the performance of the two in history is obvious to all, and it can't be faked, judging by these histories, the possibility of mistakes is smaller.

From Mr. President down, their lungs are about to explode, and they originally wanted to take this opportunity to prove to the world that the great United States is still the most powerful country in the world, and it was, is, and will be that they will firmly control the dominance of human exploration of space. This would have been a perfect performance, but I didn't expect Gu Yu to stick a stick, and what is even more hateful is that the time Gu Yu chose and the gender of the astronaut he chose were clearly deliberately done in order to slap them in the face.

The whole country is full of righteous indignation, and all the media in the country are clamoring to give Gu Yu a look. It is difficult to disobey the will of the people, Mr. President personally ordered that the United States Space Administration evaluate the possibility of speeding up the Apollo 20 space shuttle, if possible, let the Apollo 20 space shuttle increase its flight speed, even if it is a little higher, it can also let the Apollo 20 space shuttle land on the moon earlier, which can seize the opportunity and not let the space plane of Gu Chao Technology steal the limelight.

NASA's engineers received orders from Mr. President, and their faces were full of bitterness. Let the Apollo 20 space shuttle speed up, but not the upper and lower lips can be done by touching the upper and lower lips, there are too many things involved, such as the stability of the overall structure of the Apollo 20 space shuttle, the temperature increase of the engine, etc., are all things that must be taken into account, even if you don't consider these, just considering the fuel carried on the Apollo 20 space shuttle, you can't easily increase the speed of the Apollo 20 space shuttle.

As with other transportation work, it is never the faster the speed, the lower the fuel consumption rate, there is an economic fuel consumption rate, in other words, the Apollo 20 space shuttle can be kept at this speed under the premise that the total amount of fuel carried remains the same, so that the Apollo 20 space shuttle can cross longer distances.

The Apollo 20 space shuttle had to go back and forth between the Earth and the Moon, at most staying on the Moon for a few days to give the engine a break, but it could not refuel halfway like a car. If the Apollo 20 space shuttle suddenly accelerates in the middle and increases the fuel consumption rate of the Apollo 20 space shuttle, then it is possible that the Apollo 20 space shuttle has not returned to the earth, and the fuel it carries will be exhausted on the way.

This is definitely not a reasonable, affirmative order. But the NASA also knows that the public opinion is surging now, not to mention Mr. President, even they are under tremendous pressure, if at this time, there is no reaction at all, not only is it difficult to explain to Mr. President, but also to explain to the people, when the time comes, Mr. President and Congress do not agree to give them the space agency funding, then their space agency's life will be miserable.

Under pressure, NASA hurriedly used a supercomputer to calculate, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the speed of the Apollo 20 space shuttle can be increased, but in doing so, there is a great risk, that is, after the speed, the Apollo 20 space shuttle will land on the far side of the moon, then it may cause the Apollo 20 space shuttle to run out of fuel before it flies to the earth.

To avoid this, there are two options, which is to let the Apollo 20 space shuttle land on the front side of the moon, and the other is to risk letting the Apollo 20 space shuttle continue to land on the far side of the moon, but certainly not in the center of the far side of the moon, only to land on the edge.

NASA reported the results of the calculations and waited for Mr. President to make a decision. Without making them wait too long, Mr. President issued instructions for the Apollo 20 space shuttle to increase its speed and then land on the far side of the moon.

There's a lot to explore on the Moon, but if you want to bring something back to Earth, the soil and rocks on the far side of the Moon are more valuable. Previous explorations have proved that helium-3 is more distributed on the far side of the moon than on the front, and the concentration is naturally needless to say, the highest concentration of helium-3 deposits are on the far side of the moon.

Originally, the mission of the Apollo 20 space shuttle was aimed at helium three, but this time the sudden choice to accelerate led to the acceleration of fuel consumption, so the Apollo 20 space shuttle will definitely not be able to enter the mine area with the largest concentration of helium three. However, in Mr. President's view, it is very worthwhile to do so, no matter what, it can't let Guchao Technology steal the limelight from their country.

Now that Mr. President has made an instruction, then NASA is left with only the part of implementation. If the NASA gave the order, it was not long before the Apollo 20 space shuttle, which received the order, began to increase its speed, and finally locked the speed at the speed calculated by the supercomputer.

The measures taken by the United States cannot hide from others, especially Ye Rou, who is piloting the aerospace plane, and used the space radar of the fuselage to detect the change in speed of the Apollo 20 space shuttle at the first time. Ye Rou really wanted to speed up the space plane, no matter what, she couldn't let the Apollo 20 space shuttle steal the limelight of the space plane, but before Ye Rou accelerated, she still sent a request to Gu Yu on the earth.

Gu Yu knows that the ultimate speed of the aerospace aircraft is definitely not the current speed, if the aerospace aircraft wants to accelerate, there is no problem, and there is no problem that the fuel consumption rate will increase due to the increase in speed, so that the fuel is not enough. After the space plane returned to the earth last time, Gu Yu specially checked that the condition of the nuclear fuel rods was still very good, and it would be no problem to go back and forth between the earth and the moon several times. Even if the speed of the space plane were increased to the limit of what it could bear, the consumption of nuclear fuel rods would increase, but it would not be enough to return the space plane to Earth.

But even so, Gu Yu categorically denied Ye Rou's request to increase the speed of the aerospace aircraft, he first had to ensure the safety of Ye Rou and Berisi, after all, Ye Rou was flying an aerospace plane for the first time in space, and she was not very familiar with this kind of transportation, and it was easy to have a situation, and the increase in the speed of the aerospace aircraft would cause Ye Rou to encounter these unexpected situations, and the disposal time would have become shorter, maybe the successful disposal would have turned into a disposal failure, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for anyone to say what the consequences will be. For the sake of safety, Gu Yu felt that Ye Rou should just fly at the current speed honestly.

As for whether it will lead to a preemptive landing on the moon, but become a late Apollo 20 space shuttle, landing on the moon is simply within Gu Yu's consideration. Of course, if he can take care of Ye Rou's safety and reach the moon before the Apollo 20 space shuttle, he is still happy to do it, but when the two cannot be ensured at the same time, ensuring Ye Rou's safety has become the priority option.

Soon, the space plane moved forward steadily, in stark contrast to the speed of the Apollo 20 space shuttle, and the news immediately spread around the world. Many people calculated according to the current speed of the two, and found that the space plane would have landed on the moon first, and it became possible that the two would be in no particular order, and even the Apollo 20 space shuttle would land one step earlier.

This made those who waited to see the miracle of the space plane work again, but those who waited to see the plane joke cheered.

Wang Limin called specifically to inquire about the situation, and when he learned of Gu Yu's concerns, Wang Limin could only sigh, he couldn't say that Gu Yu's choice was wrong, and he could only support Gu Yu's decision. But he still vaguely mentioned that if Ye Rou's safety could be ensured, it would be better to increase the speed of the aerospace plane a little, even if it was a little more, it would be good.

Gu Yu ignored Wang Limin's reminder, in his heart, Ye Rou's safety was more important than anything else, if he couldn't ensure Ye Rou's safety, he would rather cancel the flight of the aerospace plane and let Ye Rou return.

It is undeniable that although the Apollo 20 space shuttle has increased its speed, the speed of the space shuttle has exceeded that of the Apollo 20 space shuttle too much, and the distance between the two has been constantly narrowing.

All of humanity is watching this speed chase between the Earth and the Moon, and people want to see who can get to the Moon first.

When Ye Rou piloted the space plane to catch up with the Apollo 20 space shuttle, the Apollo 20 space shuttle took the lead in entering the near-moon orbit and began to fly around the moon, which was to find a suitable landing site at the right time. The choice of this location is very important, and if you choose well, you will save a lot of trouble and save valuable fuel when the Apollo 20 space shuttle takes off from the moon. If you make the wrong choice, you will increase the consumption of fuel, which will make the already insufficient fuel even worse.

At this time, the hearts of countless people paused, Ye Rou was rapidly approaching with the space plane, if the Apollo 20 space shuttle was delayed for too long, then the advantages that were hard to gain might be lost, then the decision to speed up the Apollo 20 space shuttle in the early stage was a bit more than worth the loss, and there was no meaning, on the contrary, it also put the Apollo 20 space shuttle and its astronauts in danger.
