"The entry of private capital into the space industry, coupled with this intensive and efficient multiple returnable rocket launch technology, is equivalent to a cheap and high-speed space launch. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWith these two, Huaguo got the ticket to step into the interstellar era. ”

"And this ticket was previously only available to the United States. We have just passed the private space mining bill, and the cost of our space shuttle technology is far higher than their dense returnable rocket launch technology! This will mean that in the future interstellar era, China is likely to become the largest and perhaps even the only competitor of the United States!"

"No, if this situation continues, the United States may even be defeated by the Chinese in the competition of the future interstellar age!"

"Vote, gentlemen. We must make a choice: whether to contain only the rise of China, or to stop China's march toward the interstellar age at all costs, or even to the point of war! Our vote will determine which side the future strategic direction of the United States will develop. ”

When the deputy's voice fell, the others all looked complicated, and the private discussion was quite intense.

"Isn't there any other option?" someone asked.

"Nope. Of course not! unless everyone is willing to accept the option of the destruction of America. ”

"Of course not!"

"So, let's vote......"

However, the real change in the national policy of the United States must be decided by a vote of the two councils on Capitol Hill. But that's really just a matter of procedure. The really important decisions were made before that, and the congressional vote was merely a procedural legitimization.

So, don't look at the current small meeting that doesn't seem to be of high standard, in fact, it can really determine the future national policy of the United States.

Half an hour later, the voting ended, but the results were shocking.

Because the votes to curb the rise of China accounted for more than two-thirds.

The Pentagon people were not satisfied: "Gentlemen, is this the answer for everyone? Do you really not see the deadly threat of China? We have been containing China, and voting is equivalent to agreeing to maintain the status quo." But in the face of the new situation, this is no longer enough!"

"Unfortunately, I don't think Wall Street will agree. One of the participants said lightly, shrugging at the delegates: "America does what they want, doesn't it?"

"You ......" the Pentagon representative was furious: "You are really a mouse! You will pay for it!"

"No way, our budget comes from them, we have to choose their choice, there is no other way!" The man continued: "Besides, you and I both know that all the changes in Huaguo come from that person. Once that person is eliminated, everything will go back to the way it was. So why should we risk common destruction to go on a rampage?"

"What if you can't, what if you can't get rid of that person?" said the Pentagon representative, gritting his teeth.

"That only represents your incompetence, sir. If the power of a country cannot destroy a single person. The man stood up, took the hat on the table, and bowed: "That means we're probably going to have to put a new group of people at the helm of the Pentagon." So be it, sir, goodbye. ”

With that, he stood up and walked away.

The Pentagon representative seemed to have fire in his eyes, and finally stamped his feet in indignation: "You will regret it, I promise!"

…………

Almost at the same time, Yang Chen also received a call from Zhu Yingying: "Yang Chen, you kid is good! Do you know that now the entire aerospace system is spreading your fame, and you really have released a big satellite now!"

Yang Chen said with a smile: "I think I don't think I'm putting one big satellite, but thirty-six big satellites!"

"Do you still think this is a good thing? Do you know that you launched 13 rockets in less than 12 hours, and 36 satellites went to the sky, and how many people were trembling, for fear that the returning rocket would run somewhere it shouldn't go, or bring back something that shouldn't have been bringed? Let me tell you, as soon as you came out with this incident, the strong call for taking back the rocket technology in your hands has never stopped!"

Zhu Hero is in a hurry, the pressure over there is so great that even he almost can't stand it.

"Didn't I file it beforehand?"

"You've done it, but who knew you could launch rockets so intensively and put at least two satellites into orbit at a time?

Yang Chen was also helpless: "I can't help it." If it weren't for the possibility that the state would restrict me from engaging in round-trip rocket launches, how could I plan to make such a big scene in one battle?"

"Feelings, this is still our problem?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Zhu Hero coughed: "Okay, anyway, the spirit above has officially come down, and you will not be allowed to launch rockets in your Lingwu Villa in the future." If you want to do it, you can, go to several space centers in the country, whatever you want, you can launch hundreds of times a day!"

"Uh...... All right. I'm no longer launching rockets at Lingwu Villa, how about I switch to a spaceship?"

"Aren't spaceships also sent to the sky by launch vehicles?"

"No, no, no, I'm talking about a real spaceship, a spaceship that doesn't need a launch vehicle, and can fly into space alone through the engine, which is the kind often described in science fiction!"

"This ......" Zhu Yingying was stunned for a moment: "This technology and launch vehicle technology don't seem to be the same thing, right?

"No problem!" Yang Chen was full of confidence.

This spaceship technology, that is not the previous psionic rocket and magic, only has a design and concept map, and other things need to be studied and verified by themselves, this is a simplified version of the later asteroid belt mining spacecraft.

The technologies in this are all versions after they are put into practical application, and through many practices, all kinds of problems are exposed and solved.

Although this is only a simplified version, it is not required to go to space mining at the moment, as long as it can go back and forth to low earth orbit, it is not much difficult at all, and it only needs to be reduced by a part of the original design.

The biggest difficulty is nothing more than the engines of the spaceship.

To put it bluntly, the technical difficulty of the mining spacecraft is not particularly advanced, but the engine plus a large space spacecraft shell and the mining machinery are adding a simple and limited life-support system - the simple and limited is because the mining ship has few people and a short stay time, so the demand for the life-support system is not high, and the difficulty is not great.

These are simply the price of cabbage in later generations, and they can be as explosive as dumplings. Even now, after simplification, it is not very difficult to manufacture, and it may even be less difficult than developing a psionic engine.

So of course Yang Chen is deeply confident.

"Well, even if you are so confident......" Zhu Hero agreed.

Spacecraft technology is certainly high-end, but it is not as sensitive as shuttle rocket technology - in fact, such spacecraft are really intended for military use, and are much more destructive and flexible than making missiles with round-trip rocket technology. But who would let the latter make such an adverse association with a nuclear warhead and the former not?

This is why both the country and the heroes make Yang Chen have to launch rockets at the country's space center, but there are no restrictions on his research and development of spaceships.

After all, the technology of the spaceship is much higher than that of the round-trip rocket, and it is estimated that the hero and the country will not think that Yang Chen will be able to put the spaceship technology into practice soon.

Yang Chen didn't care what the country thought, anyway, after he got the permission, he immediately started to work on the research and development of the spaceship.

The simplified version of the mining ship he designed was strictly intended to be used as a normal armed ship, and was reduced in size many times over.

The length of the original spacecraft was more than 300 meters, the width was more than 100 meters, and the height was also more than 50 meters. The newly designed spacecraft has become fifteen meters long, five meters wide, and two and a half meters high, only one-twentieth of the original.

In addition, the mining machinery designed in the original mining ship has been removed and replaced with weaponry. As for the original mining spaceship, it originally had two "Angry Arrow" 200mm caliber high-speed electromagnetic cannons (not traditional electromagnetic cannons, but electromagnetic cannons developed through psionic technology), one "Electric Arrow" 20mm caliber ray cannon, plus a "Cancer" Star Pulse Cannon.

Now, the two "Angry Arrow" 200mm high-speed electromagnetic cannons in the new spacecraft have been replaced with a "Jinya" 100mm caliber twin high-speed electromagnetic cannon, the "Electric Arrow" 20mm ray cannon remains unchanged, and the "Cancer" Star Pulse Cannon has been replaced with the "Flying Crab" small-caliber Star Pulse Cannon. In addition, three .72 caliber electromagnetic machine guns were added.

With the exception of the .72 caliber electromagnetic machine gun, all other weapon designs are from later generations. The .72 caliber electromagnetic machine gun is a version of the electromagnetic machine gun redesigned by Yang Chen's natal calculator Tiansuan according to later generations and existing technology, the model "Storm".

Needless to say, the psionic energy of the Storm electromagnetic machine gun is borrowed from the fusion technology of the Centaur psionic fusion hybrid engine.

This technology is still good, although it is not enough to be used as an engine for the time being, but it is no problem at all to use it to make an electromagnetic machine gun, and even the energy can be said to be greatly surplus.

Nuclear fusion technology, Yang Chen now uses dual raw materials. One is deuterium-tritium and the other is helium-3.

The former is not easy to obtain at the moment (personally), but the latter only needs to be completed by a new spacecraft, and you can go directly to the moon to collect helium-3 ore, and then you don't have to worry about the shortage of nuclear raw materials for the time being.

In addition, although Yang Chen unloaded the large mining machinery of the original mining ship (which reached a length of tens of meters, and could automatically complete a series of processes such as mining, raw ore crushing, and bulk ore refining powder, it was more of an ore processing production line than a mining machine), he designed a small replica version less than ten meters long to verify the technical use.

But even so, the space of the entire new spaceship was still very empty, and these spaces that were designed as ore storage warehouses on the mining ship could only be empty now.

However, with such a large space, it is still very convenient to install various magic circles. As his first personal spaceship, Yang Chen not only copied the design of the mining ship, but also attached a large number of attack, defense, and auxiliary magic circles. In the end, the performance of the entire spaceship has been very different from the original, except for the insufficient cruising radius and the inability to fly to the asteroid belt, all the functions are far beyond the original mining ship.

The new spaceship designed in this way was named "Starry Sky" by Yang Chen, a name that entrusts his dream of the starry sky.
