Chapter 887 Muscles (3)

"No, no, no, of course it's not a joke, since we've successfully lifted off, we naturally have to test every system of the spacecraft, right?" Yang Yiwei said with a smile.

"You don't really want to test weapons in the Atlantic, since you have built that weapon, you should know the power of the electromagnetic railgun, Xiao Yang, I know that you have resentment in your heart, but this may cause some man-made natural disasters." As soon as the chairman heard Yang Yiwei say this, his eyes immediately widened, and he persuaded him bitterly.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, chairman, how could I test it on the earth, anyway, there is nothing on the moon, I directly aimed at the moon and fired the cannon will be over, I don't know how many meteorite attacks the moon will suffer every year, it doesn't matter if we attack once." Yang Yiwei said with a smile, as soon as Yang Yiwei said this, the chairman breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he smiled bitterly, this seems to be no different from the test on the moon and the test in the Atlantic?

To put it bluntly, it is showing its muscles and showing off its strength, and as for what the United States thinks, only the US government itself knows. However, since the test is not done on the earth, the consequences will naturally not be serious, as for what the United States thinks, why do others care so much, and they have no way to point fingers at the test done by the Starfall Group.

"Okay." Yang Yiwei said so, and the chairman could only nod, but this doesn't matter, anyway, it doesn't matter about the Chinese government, this can also be regarded as a scientific research test! Besides, the weapons test of the Starfall Group is also good for the country.

Yang Yiwei was discussing this with the chairman here, and the media outside also rushed here, they couldn't shoot anything over there, and the Xuelu had now flown where they couldn't see. They couldn't shoot anything, so they rushed over to attend the press conference, and soon the staff of the Starfall Group came in outside and told Yang Yiwei that the time for the press conference was about to start.

Yang Yiwei nodded, and asked directly: "Bai Xue, has Xuelu entered the space orbit now?" "Yes, the Snow Dew is now in 1,700 kilometers of space orbit, whether it is in outer space orbit or not." Bai Xue asked directly. With more than 1,700 kilometers of space orbit, there is very little space junk here, but at this distance, if you want to maintain a space orbit, you must have a certain speed. It is impossible to be suspended in space and not move, and if you want to be suspended in space and not move, you can only enter the orbit of outer space.

"Let it lower its orbit, enter a low-altitude orbit of more than 400 kilometers, and then prepare for the transport plane to pick up Dr. Augustine and them up." Yang Yiwei thought for a while.

"What's next for you?" Wait for Yang Yiwei to finish communicating with Bai Xue. The chairman asked.

"The next plan is to fly to the moon and then make a preliminary exploration of the moon. Then choose a location to build a mining base on the moon. In the meantime, let's test the weapon first. Yang Yiwei thought for a while and said.

"Go to the moon, will you come back in a short time?" The chairman frowned, because although the distance between the moon and the earth is a little more than a second of the speed of light, it is almost a month for the space on the earth to go back and forth, if there are other test missions. That's even slower. And the Snow Dew is significantly different from other spacecraft, its strong carrying capacity means that it has a strong lingering ability to carry out space missions for a longer period of time.

"Hehe, don't worry, Chairman. Snow Dew can travel back and forth between Earth and the Moon in less than three hours. Yang Yiwei smiled, knowing what Chairman Dao was worried about, he said directly.

"Three hours?" At this time, Yang Yiwei suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have introduced the powerful engine performance of the Xuelu to the chairman, but only said that its size and other performance, and this most critical thing seemed to have been forgotten.

"Yes! It can go back and forth in 3 hours, which is the most optimal use of fuel in the current situation, and its maximum speed can reach 70 kilometers per second, which is only between 350,000 and 400,000 kilometers from the moon. Yang Yiwei nodded. At 70 kilometers per second, this speed can no longer be described as amazing, although it is said that the Snow Dew can be sent directly into space has already shown its powerful engine, but being able to accelerate such a huge spacecraft to such a point is enough to prove that this engine is not only powerful, but more importantly, it is obviously very useful for fuel saving.

"Doesn't that mean that it is theoretically possible for the Snow Dew to reach any planet in the solar system?" The chairman's expression was a little excited, if Xuelu is like other probes, it takes three or four days to fly to the moon, and Xuelu only takes three hours, which means that it has at least increased its speed by more than forty times, according to this speed, the time consumed to reach Mars, the closest to the earth, and other planets is not unacceptable, once this way, the usefulness of Xuelu can be greatly increased.

"Well, yes, but if you fly to other planets, it will take a bit longer, of course, we can increase the speed, but it will speed up the fuel consumption, although these costs are bearable, but the consumption increases, the cost increases." Yang Yiwei shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Okay, since that's the case, then Xiao Yang, let's discuss, I'll contact China as soon as possible, can I let domestic experts in this area board the Xuelu as soon as possible to carry out scientific research activities? Of course, how we need to cooperate, and what conditions you can put forward. "The chairman originally thought that although there was a lot of talk about the cooperation with the Starfall Group, there was no hurry to send experts.

But now it seems that since Xuelu can travel back and forth between the moon and the earth in 3 hours, it is naturally shameful to waste so much time in space. "Of course, no problem, in this way, the Snow Dew will probably stay in space for a few days, and then it will be enough to just let these experts come over, and we have built a space transport plane specifically to fly to the Snow Dew." Yang Yiwei nodded immediately, this is not a problem, Yang Yiwei now wishes that there are more scientists, the better, after all, these experts in his hands are more research on spaceships.

And others, such as planetary environmental detection and so on, there are not many experts, which requires these domestic experts to come, coupled with the powerful instruments on the Snow Dew, this is not as simple as one plus one equals two, the strength of the cooperation between the two sides is growing exponentially, and so much data analysis, it is unrealistic for the Starfall Group to hire people to study it itself, and it is naturally good to have countries join in now.

Anyway, he just provides a position, and the Snow Dew can accommodate more than 50,000 people to live on it, and there is naturally no problem with dozens or hundreds of experts, and the materials stored on it are more than enough for these people to live on it for a year or two! And there are also small transport ships coming and going, although the maximum transport capacity of small transport ships is only about ten tons of supplies, but this is enough.

At least the energy consumed by it for a round trip between the Snow Dew and the ground is only four or five points of concentrated energy, which is only one percent of the Snow Dew, of course, if it is a large-scale transportation of supplies, it is better for the Snow Dew to descend. Anyway, the landing ground of the Snow Dew has been reserved here, because once more than tens of thousands of tons of materials are transported, it is not cost-effective for the small spaceship to transport, and the Snow Dew takes off and lands once It is only less than 1000 points of concentrated energy, if it is a large-scale delivery, the small spacecraft has to transport tens of thousands of times, and it takes a little concentrated energy at a time, which needs to cost tens of thousands, of course, it is not cost-effective.

Frequent pick-ups and drop-offs like this are the advantages of the small spaceship. "Okay, then I'll contact China now, and I won't attend the press conference for a while, after all, I'm not here for a public visit." The chairman thought for a moment. Yang Yiwei nodded, he naturally would not embarrass the chairman in this regard, and the chairman did come to Madagascar privately, and he did not even make it public.

After discussing with the chairman, Yang Yiwei got up and went to the scene of the press conference, and when Yang Yiwei arrived at the scene, he found that although there was a time limit, there were still hundreds of reporters, and the entire press conference hall was full. When Yang Yiwei came in, a series of flashes immediately sounded at the entire press conference, and Yang Yiwei, who had received many flash baptisms, was almost dazzled.

After Yang Yiwei stood on the rostrum, the flash was a little smaller, and the reporters below couldn't help but ask questions in a mess, and the whole venue was in an uproar. "Quiet, quiet, please be quiet, this press conference is only one hour long, abide by the order of the venue, everyone can ask more questions, otherwise, you will not get too much news." The host of the Starfall Group has long been accustomed to such a scene, and naturally has enough means to control these reporters.

Sure enough, as soon as I heard the host say that the press conference was only one hour, aside from the time when the Starfall Group announced the matter, there was very little time left to ask questions, and everyone immediately quieted down. (To be continued......)
