Chapter 280: Base and Aftermath
New Era 1, April 11.
A Boeing 747 from Boston, landing at St. Petersburg Airport.
It was an out-of-print airliner because Boeing's headquarters and main factory were in the Washington state near Seattle, which is now the North American region of the new humans.
Heavily guarded Eric? Van hurriedly got off the plane, and then, escorted by special car, went to the Arkhangelsk region of the HRE Federation.
He will board a Soyuz launch vehicle at the Plesetsk base there, go to the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit, and then take Saturn VIII to the moon.
The reason why the HRE Federation came all the way to take a rocket is mainly because the space launch base in the Illuminati-controlled area has basically been occupied or destroyed by new humans.
The Cape Canaveral launch site (Kennedy Space Center) in Florida was occupied, and the George Aeronade launch site in Alabama was occupied. The Marshall Space Center was occupied.
The Western Space Missile Test Center (Vandenberg Air Force Base) in California was destroyed, and the Houston Rocket Launch Center in Texas was destroyed.
The only remaining space base was the destruction of the Volops Flight Base in Virginia, in the Illuminati-controlled zone.
In fact, the HRE Federation is no better.
Lucia's Baikonur Cosmodrome and Svobodnny Cosmodrome were both occupied by new humans.
Gaul's Cosmodrome in South America was also inevitable.
Dig out the bottom of the house, and there will be only one seedling left in the Plesetsk base.
The Soyuz launch vehicle at the Plesetsk base is the only complete launch vehicle left in addition to the new humans.
For example, the Illuminati-Blue Star Division has lost its complete industrial chain and supply chain, and even if the design data of the Heavy Falcon, Saturn V, and Saturn VIII are given to them, there is no way to complete the construction of the launch vehicle.
……
The other side.
On the south side of the western section of the Strait Bridge, an artificial island is under rapid construction.
This is the Strait Space Launch Center, which has just been planned and constructed, and it is also the largest space launch center so far.
It consists of 3 main island bases (each with an area of 36 square kilometers) and 12 sub-island launch sites (with a single area of 3.7 square kilometers).
It can launch 48 large space launch vehicles at the same time, with launch, remote control, monitoring, recovery, maintenance, supply and training functions.
It was chosen to be built next to the Strait Bridge, on the one hand, to facilitate transportation with land, and on the other hand, to facilitate the transportation of large rockets.
In addition, the sea is far away from densely populated areas, which is conducive to confidentiality and safety work.
Qin Jingwei, the person in charge of the Jiuquan Space Center, was transferred to the Strait Space Launch Base as the commander-in-chief of the base.
He is now discussing the planning and construction of various areas with a large group of engineers and designers.
Qin Jingwei was also very anxious, this space launch base was subordinate to the Science Committee and the War Committee.
Both Huang Mingzhe and the War Committee are now demanding that the construction work be completed as soon as possible.
The main thing is that the threat of those asteroids makes the new humans feel restless, especially since the lizardmen have set up a base in an ultra-long orbit 937,000 kilometers away from the blue star, and after the other party has a way out, they may be unscrupulous.
The new humans on the blue star have no way out but to face the asteroid head-on.
Huang Mingzhe demanded that the Strait Space Launch Base must be completed by the end of June this year, because he is preparing to deal with asteroids that must be launched into outer space.
At present, the Chang-5-D carrier rocket has been expanded to 24 pieces, and the one-time Chang-5-E carrier rocket has also been replenished to 8.
However, this amount is not enough, the payload of the Chang-5-D low-earth orbit is only 37 tons, and the Chang-5-E low-earth orbit can reach about 68 tons.
But compared with the transportation volume of tens of thousands of tons, it seems to be a drop in the bucket.
At present, there is no time to design a new type of launch vehicle, so we can only expand the Chang-5-D and Chang-5-E on a large scale, and use ants to move these items into low-earth orbit little by little.
……
"Zhang Gong, the transportation port of the No. 3 main island, you must pay attention to the wind shelter design, after all, there are often typhoons making landfall near the Dayuan Strait." Qin Jingwei pointed to the design and reminded.
Zhang Haimin, chief engineer of China State Construction Group, patted his head and said: "I'm very sorry, I've been too busy these days, I'm going crazy." ”
Qin Jingwei was also very helpless: "I know that everyone is working hard, but neither of the quality nor the progress can be left behind, so we should remind each other." ”
"I immediately instructed the design team to carry out a windproof simulation as soon as possible." After Zhang Haimin finished speaking, he immediately turned around and told the assistant about this.
This year's April was unusually hot, and the sky was a little blue and purple, a side effect of the destruction of the ozone layer.
Qin Jingwei's bare arm in the sun was slightly painful from the strong ultraviolet rays.
Last month's cleansing battle, the adverse consequences of gamma rays used on a large scale by new humans, finally began to break out.
Some people may say that the East Asian mainland is not attacked by gamma rays, so why there are signs of increased ultraviolet intensity in the Dayuan Strait.
The reason is that the ozone layer is a constantly flowing gas layer, and the North American continent and West Continent and East Asia, which are the hardest hit areas of heavy use of gamma rays, are all in the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.
To this day, the Phoenix satellite still uses gamma rays from time to time to support new human armies in various places.
Although there is a temporary truce with the Illuminati and the HRE Federation, there are still 3.96 billion biochemical monsters mutated by more than 5 billion old humans circulating in the area controlled by new humans.
Especially in the densely populated South Asian subcontinent, there are more than a billion biochemical monsters, just like locusts.
The massive use of gamma rays, which directly decomposes the ozone layer of ozone, is becoming more and more of an ozone hole in the northern hemisphere as pieces of the ozone layer are destroyed.
Now in mid-April, the temperature has reached 41 degrees Celsius during the day and dropped to 12 degrees Celsius at night, and the temperature difference between day and night has reached 29 degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, the resistance of the new humans is very strong, and the promotion of greenhouse agriculture and three-dimensional indoor agriculture has ensured the stability of the food supply.
However, if the ozone layer hole becomes larger and larger, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the Blue Star ecology will suffer serious damage.
……
San Francisco, the airport that has just been restored.
Fifteen Y-20 planes landed at the airport in turn, more than a dozen of them were wearing white overalls, the overalls had an armband, the armband had a ∞ symbol, and the ∞ was surrounded by a line of words:
[New Human Universe - Supreme Will - Scientific Committee]
They are the engineers, scientists and staff members who are part of the Scientific Committee.
The North American region is currently under military control, and Wang Zhen personally received the members of these scientific committees.
The weather in California is even more extreme, with San Francisco reaching 45 degrees Celsius during the day and 8 degrees Celsius at night.
"Commander-in-Chief Wang, are your rockets ready?" Cai Huaqiang, director of the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, hurriedly asked.
"Everywhere is ready." Wang Zhen is also worried about the extreme weather in North America.
"Then act now."
In a clearing near San Francisco, more than a dozen rocket launchers launched hundreds of ozone breeder bombs onto the ozone layer at an altitude of 30 kilometers.
These ozone breeder bombs can promote the rapid combination of oxygen molecules and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere to form ozone, so as to achieve the effect of repairing the ozone layer.
In various control areas of the new humans, a large number of ozone breeder bombs have been launched, and a large number of ozone layer holes have been quickly repaired.
It is expected that the ozone layer will be repaired in about a month.
It is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to repair, especially in terms of natural ecology.
But to fix it, it is difficult and troublesome.
If the ozone breeder bomb is not prepared, the extreme weather caused by strong ultraviolet rays is enough to severely damage the ecology of the blue star.
