The successful launch of "Xingkong-1" not only sent the core functional module of the 20-ton lunar spacecraft to the predetermined orbit, but also successfully realized the successful recovery of the rocket body of the first-stage core stage, and the news spread all over the world at the speed of light almost within a few minutes.

"This is the beginning of humanity's imminent brilliance again, and we have no doubt that the successful launch of Starry Sky 1 will be a wonderful start for a manned mission to Mars. There may still be some way to go before manned exploration of Mars, but we have finally taken this step bravely, just like Armstrong took the first step on the moon back then, and we believe that the Star Exploration Company led by Tang will take a more brilliant second step in the history of human space exploration."

On television, outgoing US President Barack Obama gave an impassioned celebratory speech in the Oval Office of the White House within half an hour of the successful launch.

The successful launch of the core functional module of the lunar spacecraft marks the beginning of a five-year-long manned Mars exploration program, which is something worthy of celebration by people from all walks of life around the world. In this launch operation, experts from China's China National Space Administration gave full support and provided strong assistance for this launch mission. In addition, according to Mr. Tang's proposal, China's space agency will continue to cooperate closely with Star Exploration in subsequent missions."

CCTV, China's No. 1 media, also made quite positive comments at the first time, giving a very high evaluation of the launch mission.

At the same time, the world's major media all broadcast the process of the launch mission for the first time, and many heads of state also issued congratulatory speeches, making the launch mission immediately become the world's first headline.

Just when the whole world was basking in the joy of the success of this launch. Tang Feng did not stay at the launch base in Cape to celebrate with everyone. For this kind of thing, it is enough to have Dr. Schmitz come forward, he is just a person who takes money, and the real main force is still the team headed by Dr. Schmitz.

Of course, Dr. Schmitz will not stay here for long, and this launch mission was a success. It means the official start of the lunar landing program and the manned Mars exploration program, compared to those follow-up work, this launch mission is not even the tip of the iceberg, and Dr. Schmitz will be busy in the next five years.

Among other things, in a suitable launch window in a month's time, the Starry Sky 1 heavy-lift launch vehicle will be launched again to launch the Lunar/Mars lander into the predetermined orbit and dock with the core functional module of the lunar spacecraft. Once this task is successfully completed. In the next three months, Starry Sky 1 will launch twice again, sending all kinds of supplies and fuel to the spacecraft, and then sending personnel to the spacecraft to launch the lunar landing operation.

The time given by Tang Feng is to complete the moon landing operation by August next year, and it is already almost November, and there are still eight months to go, and the possibility of launch failure must be taken into account. So time is actually very short.

However, Tang Feng doesn't care too much about these things, and it is the most correct thing to leave this aspect to the experts. What he needs to do now is the mining side. When it comes to mining, he is now a well-deserved expert as well!

Tang's original plan was to go to Dr. Schmitz's laboratory for two days after the successful launch, because after meeting with Dr. Schmitz this time, Dr. Schmitz told Tang Feng a good news. That's the nuclear genius who invented the small reactor on his own. Wilson, in the end, agreed to Dr. Schmitz's invitation and entered Dr. Schmitz's Star Exploration Laboratory.

According to Dr. Schmitz, this Taylor. Wilson is also very interested in the manned Mars exploration program, and the ion thrusters used on the Mars spacecraft. The need for higher-power, smaller nuclear power plants sparked the genius's competitive spirit, which assured Dr. Schmitz that he would design a smaller, more powerful micro-nuclear power station that would generate electricity on a thorium basis before next year's moon landing was completed.

In fact, Taylor. Wilson's choice is also very good, after all, the Star Exploration Laboratory is now famous and rich in the industry, and those who engage in scientific research are most afraid of the lack of R&D funds, but this kind of common situation does not exist in the Star Exploration Laboratory. Behind the Star Exploration Laboratory is a god like Tang Feng, who is not bad for money, so as long as the R&D plan is approved, then you don't have to worry about the lack of R&D funds at all.

It is because of Taylor. With Wilson's joining, Tang Feng planned to go to the Star Exploration Laboratory for two days, one was to meet with the nuclear genius, and the other was that it was almost the end of the year, and he, the boss, had to go over to give the researchers more energy, such as sending a big red envelope to the big guys

It's a pity that this plan of Tang Feng was taken by Richard. A phone call from Exxon was interrupted.

It turned out that when Richard. After Exxon approached Barrick Gold on behalf of Freeport McMullen Copper & Gold to buy Barrick Gold's four gold mines in Nevada, Barrick Gold immediately responded positively and asked Richard Gold to buy the four gold mines in Nevada. Exxon was stunned to complete the change of formalities at a speed

It's no wonder that Barrick Gold is so anxious, the recession of international gold in recent years has caused Barrick Gold to suffer a lot, coupled with the war between Europe and the United States some time ago, the Europeans lost the first battle, which made Barrick Gold even worse, and now just the bank behind the butt is enough to drown Barrick Gold.

In addition, the four gold mines have been listed for a year, and no one has come out to take over, and now there is finally one who is interested in taking over, can Barrick Gold hurry up and implement this matter quickly?

In this way, the handover process between the two sides was completed in only four days, which greatly surprised Tang Feng's expectations, so Tang Feng had to change his previous plan, give up the formation of the Star Exploration Laboratory to inspect, and fly to Nevada again. (To be continued.) )
