The more frequent the space activities, the more frequent the space conferences.

Merriken's side won a big victory in the early stage, and Wang was very pleased and decided to invest a wave of money, because he also saw that so far he only had exquisite CG on his side, but in fact, hardcore things were not dominant.

Because this victory is false after all, and in the end, it still depends on hard power.

He was a businessman before he became president, and he was still a businessman when he became president, so the most he mentioned after taking office was "money, money, money".

"You must give me the money, or I will sanction you!"

"You must pay part of the military expenses for me, or I will withdraw the army and not protect you!"

"I give you so much money every year, why do you speak for Tianxia! I'm quitting! ”

"I don't want to mess with you, I just want to mess with money!"

"Give me money! I want money! ”

"No one knows money better than I do!"

Because of this, he once again allocated funds to NASA, and only in this way can the research and development progress of various projects be accelerated.

Today's meeting is devoted to the use and distribution of this amount.

Jim, the director of Moriken Aerospace, said, "Mr. President has asked us to expedite the launch of the SLS rocket to prepare for the Long March 9 progress in Tianxia. ”

"Judging from the current situation, the opponent's super-heavy rocket launch pad and super-heavy mobile platform have been built and are being accepted, and the first Long March 9 rocket has also been built, and various ground tests are also underway, according to their original plan to launch in May, and now it seems that there are no problems."

"If that's the case, we'll have to bring forward the launch of the SLS rocket, at least until May, and we'll have to hold on to the current victory."

After speaking, he looked at the representative of the Poyin company and asked, "How is it?" Can it be done? ”

Representative Po Yin flipped through the documents in front of him, and then said seriously: "Yes, as long as we get the grant of 200 million US dollars, we are confident that we will advance the first launch time of the SLS rocket to May 10." ”

As soon as the words of Representative Po Yin came out, the venue was immediately buzzing with discussions.

"What are you kidding, the total amount of funding this time is only $200 million, if you take it all, what will you do?" Someone said directly dissatisfied.

Some people took the lead, and others began to express their opinions loudly, and even those with bad tempers directly started scolding, and the scolding was quite ugly.

The venue was chaotic, and there was no space meeting at all, so Director Jim picked up a small wooden hammer and banged on the table.

"Quiet! Be quiet! We're in a meeting! ”

When the conference room was quiet again, he said to Representative Poyin: "That's right, don't think about 200 million US dollars, it's for everyone, and you can get up to 50 million US dollars." ”

"You have already used up the previous special allocation, and after the extension, you have received two separate grants, Mr. President is very dissatisfied with you after knowing it, this time you must achieve the first flight in May, otherwise Mr. President will sign a presidential decree to investigate you!"

"$50 million?"

Representative Po Yin was a little dissatisfied, but when he heard it, he restrained his emotions and said: "If it's 50 million US dollars, it may be a little difficult, but I need to call back and discuss with the scientific research and manufacturing team, maybe it is possible to make the first flight before May 31." ”

Jim nodded, "Go ahead, you have half an hour." ”

Representative Po Yin got up and signaled and walked out of the office to make a call, and everyone present whispered that a giant is a giant, and its strength in China is deep-rooted, and it can still get 50 million US dollars.

Cattle batches.

However, it also made other people's faces ugly, the total amount of this allocation was 200 million US dollars, and the other party took 50 million, so the funds allocated to them were less.

Many people present were not accustomed to Poyin's style, obviously with super strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities, but the SLS rocket project was repeatedly delayed, and the overall project was about to cost NASA a year's funds, and they could still get money.

If they had the money, Merrican would have established a colony on the moon long ago!

If you want to say that there is no inside story here, they will definitely not believe it.

It can only be said that the industry giants have reached a certain level, and the impact is really huge.

But they are helpless, Boeing is a giant, they are not.

That's why they want to be giants, and there is ......

Cough.

Everyone else is chattering, and Jim is also settling his own little account, and if the SLS rocket can actually be launched on May 31, it will actually be okay.

Even if the Long March 9 is launched a few days before it, it will be nothing, after all, the load and flight distance of the SLS will completely destroy the Long March 9.

According to the plan previously revealed by the Tianxia Space Agency, the first flight of the Long March 9 is only to test the ability to fly into orbit, and the carrier is only a satellite test platform, which cannot be compared with the first flight test of the SLS.

The first flight test of the SLS was to fly to the moon with the "Orion" manned spacecraft to carry out an unmanned test mission around the moon.

The difficulty level of these two missions is simply the distance from the summit of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

As soon as he thought of this metaphor, he wanted to smoke himself with a big mouth, and there was a ready-made distance between the earth and the moon to compare, what did he use the metaphor for.

The distance of the parable is far from the distance of the earth and the moon.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you know that this will keep Merrican's advantage.

As the director of the space agency, he will definitely be praised by the king when the time comes, which is a very high honor for a dogleg.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the table, "Okay, quiet, what I said before was the official progress, now let's talk about the progress of the private company." ”

"Space fork and deep blue origin, your super rocket also needs to speed up the development and manufacturing, according to intelligence, the Navigator's long-range rocket manufacturing speed is also very fast, only a little later than the progress of the Long March 9, and it is likely that it will also ......make its first flight within the year."

As he was talking, suddenly a deputy director pushed the door and walked in, and said anxiously: "Director, gentlemen, I think the conference room can turn off the shielding equipment first, you need to see an important news." ”

If it was an ordinary employee, Jim would definitely scold, but if the deputy director can be in a hurry like this, there must be something bad...... Important news.

Especially for them.

Turning off the shield, the deputy director Lisuo operated a few times on the computer connected to the big screen, found the latest video released by the Tianxia Space Agency, and clicked to play.

The video content is a CG video of the Long March 9, and it is also quite beautifully done, and the quality is as good as the kind of bombing they had some time ago.

According to the introduction, this is a simulated picture of the first flight mission of the Long March 9, and the first flight time is marked on it, which is May 3, which is very early.

Even if Poyin takes all the allocation, he can't catch up.

Seeing this, he almost had a heart attack.

"Thanks to the difference between load and distance, we still have to win."

He thought.

Further back, the latest payload of the Long March 9 has been introduced, with the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity increased to 190 tons, and the lunar orbit carrying capacity increased to 60 tons.

His heart was stagnant again.

Swinging data is also a kind of comparison.

Originally, the carrying capacity of the Long March 9 was stronger than that of the SLS rocket, but now it is stronger.

"Thanks to the difference between load and distance, we still have ...... Win."

After that, there is the modification of the Long March 9, which can soar to more than 200 tons, and then there is a recovery model, and the capacity is no worse than that of the first flight.

It's just wicked.

SLS rockets never thought about taking it back.

Fortunately, it is not the first flight of this time, it is a plan for the future.

"We have the advantage of load and distance, we will win, we will definitely win."

Every time something new came out of the future, he would think about this sentence for a while, until he saw the load of the first flight of Changjiu.

"It turned out to be not a satellite test platform as planned, but a lunar habitation module! WTF？？！ ”

Correspondingly, the first flight plan was also changed to fly to the moon.

Load ......

"Distance ......"

"Falk ......"
