Chapter 303: Miracles Continue
In the eyes of the opposition, UME's rockets have been portrayed as dangerous objects equivalent to ballistic missiles, and every launch is a provocation to human security. Of course, UME will not let the mainstream voice of the media be swayed, and many of the ruling parties come from the West and are familiar with the routine.
Therefore, their rocket launches, propaganda in Asia and Europe, have become the unremitting pursuit of space by mankind, the inevitable result of scientific and technological progress - space belongs to everyone, why can the United States launch rockets and share the resources above its head, I can't?
There are both voices for and against the people, but there is no guidance for any kind of voice, which is enough for UME. When they are launched more often, people will naturally get used to it. September's success was only a foreshadowing for the October launch, and they will continue.
And it has already spread on the network that the UME space agency intends to launch in November will use rocket recovery technology! This technology, which has been proven by SpaceX many years ago, will also be optimized and more accurately mastered in their hands.
Before the space elevator was realized, recycling rockets became an inevitable choice for cheap spaceflight, because the cost of a rocket was at least 60 million US dollars, and hundreds of millions of dollars were thrown away after one launch? This is no different from burning money, and if it can be recovered, its cost will be greatly reduced.
The fuel cost of a rocket launch is about $300,000, and if it can be recycled and reused, it will be a feat for the aerospace industry. And on this basis, UME Aerospace has also challenged many times and repeated recycling, so that a rocket can be used at least fifteen times.
……
The charm of this country is much more than that, it continues to exude.
At the beginning of October, VR companies announced that the fourth generation of VR equipment will be the first to be used throughout UME; In other words, they have been tested by the local government. And agreed to be delivered, becoming the first country in the world to allow the sale of fourth-generation devices.
Local residents, admiring tourists, and the VR experience center are all ready. This generation of VR equipment is more expensive, $1,199 for the regular version, $1,888 for the deluxe version, and $5,888 for the extreme version. The level of wages per capita in the local area. then there is $4,000.
This price combined with its magical ability to reach a 130% purchase rate is presented to this country! This extra 30% belongs to the contribution of the fans of the ashes, who will combine the experience VR with the travel plan to experience it first; Some are also planning to make their home here.
The new era of VR is officially connected to human life.
It has two modes: free mode and realistic mode.
The former is what everyone understands as "game entertainment", which can be connected to the Internet by individuals and players are free;
The latter has more to do with work. This is VROS's trump card to replace Microsoft, and people can turn on this mode and be able to work in it, work with files, and perform video and audio operations. A large number of occupations that only require the use of brains and computer operations can be converted to the virtual world.
And working in virtual reality is also more labor-saving: in the semi-sleep state, the physical and mental pressure is very small, the energy is concentrated, and the state is good. Longer than the outside world. More free time, 10 hours of work virtually. In reality, only six hours have passed.
The virtual world, perhaps renamed the "second world of mankind", has reached a status that cannot be refused. Like more than ten years ago, it was difficult for people to live without mobile phones, computers and televisions, and the same is true in today's virtual world.
In addition to work and play. It also replaces some of the traditional education, where students have more time to acquire knowledge and choose the most suitable teacher. A popular teacher may have tens of thousands of students attending classes at the same time and simultaneously.
This is yet another feat for the country.
They will never stop. In November, the UME recovery rocket launch program was launched on time, and countries are also focusing on whether they can succeed again.
Meng Qian was paying close attention.
The rocket launches the satellite he knows will succeed and what he is not sure about this time is that the launch. Go out and return to the original point according to the trajectory, whether it can go smoothly. On the other hand, this kind of round-trip trajectory will verify ballistic missile technology and accumulate more experience in a single launch.
This Starry Sky 3 rocket was ignited in anticipation.
It will carry three reconnaissance-early warning satellites, which are mainly used to detect ballistic missiles flying outside the atmosphere, provide space-based early warning for UME's homeland defense, and can more quickly identify incoming missiles, so that the ground is ready to intercept them.
In addition, these three satellites will also use more advanced orbit change technology, UME has always liked to kill two birds with one stone, and they can also verify the missile's orbit change and complex maneuver technology from here - the real black technology power, you need to seize every opportunity.
The monitoring data of the launch center has shown that the satellite was accurately put into orbit, showing superb technology, like a veteran, and there is no unfamiliarity; Immediately after that, the rocket, which was still powered, began to change its orbit outside the atmosphere, turning back the way it came.
The anti-missile systems of the United States in the sky, ground, and sea are all observing the trajectory of the rocket to judge the technology of the UME on ballistic missiles. The truth makes it difficult for them to reassure: the technology they demonstrate is too proficient, ostensibly with the support of SpaceX, but they are stronger!
The rocket returned to the atmosphere according to the established trajectory, and landed accurately to the launch site, and the combined effect of thrust reversing and balancing technology allowed the rocket to land smoothly in the established area - the launch center boiled again, which was another miraculous success!
……
Meng Qian was also overjoyed.
The normal operation of early warning satellites and rocket trajectories have also verified missile technology; In addition, with the mastery of reliable rocket recovery technology, the cost of launching rockets in the future will not exceed 2 million US dollars, and if it is a traditional single launch method, it will be at least 70 or 80 million yuan each time.
This huge gap makes him have to choose recycling technology, and the construction of the space station only needs to be launched dozens of times - the fuel cost of a traditional rocket launch can be achieved; His ultimate space elevator plan will also become more realistic.
Meng Qian hasn't had this kind of fast realization of the future in front of him for a long time. I felt it.
"Funer than us?" Gong Hui asked him - he had been immersed in the world of rocket launches lately, and he felt that they had been left out in the cold.
"It's not as fun as you guys." Meng Qian said with a smile.
"Don't get tired of playing?" She asked again.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Meng Qian hugged her.
"Hmm." Satisfied, she asked, "What about your other plans?" ”
"Don't worry, okay?" Meng Qian touched her face, "It's already in the fourth batch." More than 10,000 people participated. ”
Gong Hui opened her mouth with a mouth. Hold his finger and look at him: "Can there be three people?" ”
"Yes." Meng Qian stared at her every move, "I have already tested the genetic fusion of four people, and the expression is also healthy and normal. ”
"It's magic this time." She looked forward to it, and felt the change in him: "Who is in a hurry?" ”
"In broad daylight." Meng Qian smiled.
……
Meng Qian's genetic project has been underway, and then under the analysis of artificial intelligence. He has been able to control most of the expressions - some of them are subject to change and can only be observed. For example, if you want to make your child thin and tall, he will not be able to show the short and fat gene.
The final conclusions of the entire experiment will be reached in the second half of next year.
This year's Christmas holiday has arrived, and the SAR has ushered in a flock of tourists, and locals have chosen to travel to the surrounding islands, to small cities, or simply to foreign countries, and there are almost no locals. They gave the city to tourists.
Meng Qian was also in this ranks, and people flocked to the southern hemisphere, and their whole family ran to the northern hemisphere.
"Skiing and hot springs!" Lili was very happy that they were going to Iceland to experience the wonders of soaking in the hot springs and the surrounding ice and snow.
"Lady." Gong Hui reminded her.
"Don't!" She shook her head in disagreement, "Daddy! ”
"Say." Meng Qian is playing a mind game with his youngest son.
"Would it be good to build a ski resort in our city?" She said.
"Yes." Meng Qian nodded, "I'll tell you Uncle Tiger next time." He's in charge of that. ”
"Hooray!" She cheered.
With the construction of an indoor ski resort in the tropics, Villefranche is about to create another spectacle. But for this country that is good at miracles, it is already expected.
This year, their finances reached a new high.
By the end of the year, the entire country had received more than 80 million visitors, reaching an unprecedented high, and Villefranche City had completed Jurassic Park. More dinosaurs and more open gameplay have become the most attractive takeout.
The intelligent medical care and rapid education provided by Future City have also attracted many parents who want their children to learn well and young people who want to improve their abilities. And left with a satisfying harvest. According to statistics, 80% of these repeat customers.
The two modes are superimposed, and the benefits can be imagined.
This year's GDP exceeded expectations, reaching $620 billion! 55% growth rate! The number of citizens and permanent residents of the country has also exceeded 6.5 million, of which 70% live in sister cities, and the rest are scattered in other cities. As new cities are established, the future will be more fragmented.
In order to maintain better social welfare, the government is slowly raising the tax burden, and the current government tax revenue accounts for 30% of the GPD, which also means that the government revenue will reach 180 billion US dollars this year! However, because of the innovation of education and medical models, there is little investment in this area.
The money saved was used for people's livelihood and the construction of new cities, which won the applause of countless people. President Lille, who proposed this initiative, has won more popular support. Most of the immigrants come from developing countries, and they yearn for a highly developed society, which is very popular with the people.
Part of this money, about 30 percent, will be spent in the field of science and technology, military - this has always been the foundation of the country's development; It is also a guarantee of national security, and after the $36 billion national defense appropriation is lowered, the sea, land and air force have ushered in a new innovation.
UME has been trying to move towards a comprehensive powerhouse, but the better they develop, the more nerve-wracking it becomes. The United States inevitably concocted the "theory of instability in the western Indian Ocean region", analyzing that their military spending has reached 8% of GDP! It's a country of reckless militarism!
Referring to China, the United States, Russia and other countries, military spending tends to only account for about 2.5% to 3.5% of GDP, and the proportion of UME is an insane proportion! Regional instability and threat theories have been introduced one after another - in addition to upsetting the UME in public opinion, it has also promoted India's demand for the US military.
India, because it has absorbed almost the foundation of Russia, is moving towards a path similar to China's - independent research and development. However, because of the weak industrial foundation, it has to follow its own characteristics - made in all countries. They have recently cooperated with the United States in a number of arms sales.
The United States has made another handful.
Not only did he succeed in endangering the UME, but he also took the army. Fire list.
But UME is not a vegetarian either, so what's the point of talking about proportions? In the face of the $700 billion military spending of the United States, their $36 billion is just a child's play! And every big stream. Hooligans, who does not exceed themselves? How can public opinion be easily swayed by you!
