As we enter December, the weather in the northern hemisphere is getting colder and colder, but the international atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter.

Because of an epidemic, the world was in chaos, and then there were more and more serious droughts, insect disasters, floods, wind disasters, earthquakes and other disasters, which also made people feel that the earth was not as beautiful as they imagined.

The earth is the cradle of humanity, but now, it seems that the cradle is no longer safe.

When human beings grow up, they will eventually get out of the cradle, and the way to get out of the cradle is aerospace technology.

So more and more people are paying attention to astronautics.

Since May, the world seems to have entered the fast lane of spaceflight, as if some force is urging mankind to enter a more comprehensive space age as soon as possible.

In July, three Mars rovers set off from Earth and flew to distant Mars.

There are also launches of various satellites, experiments with various space equipment.

In October, a private company landed on the moon for the first time, and then Tianxia realized the technology for the return of samples from the moon.

As of December, Tianxia's Long March 9 program is progressing very quickly, and whether it is a new assembly building or a new mobile launch platform, the construction progress is already halfway through.

There is also the manufacturing progress of various parts of the Long March 9, and judging from the information given by various officials, the progress is also quite fast.

This kind of terrifying infrastructure and industrial manufacturing capacity was originally available in several countries, but now they are unable to do it.

Now it seems that the "one-year test flight and two-year moon landing" that Tianxia said at the beginning was not a big deal, at least the "one-year test flight", judging from the progress, should be seen soon.

And according to people's observations, this state will only be faster in the future, because Tianxia held a meeting in September - Tianxia Space Conference.

The meeting, which was supposed to take place in April, was postponed to September due to the pandemic.

This postponement led to a complete change in the content of the discussion.

Tianxia's national aerospace industry has been integrated, and the space agency has been officially given a new mission and goal, focusing on large-scale projects and deep space exploration in the future.

The previously developed series of small rockets are regarded as technical reserves, and the lower aerospace market is completely open to private aerospace companies.

In terms of large-scale aerospace projects and aerospace technology upgrading, it will also carry out limited cooperation with private aerospace companies to make Tianxia's aerospace industry more dynamic.

In October, the new space law came into effect, providing a legal basis for the various plans of the conference.

The reason why the Long March 9 mission is progressing so fast is because of the participation of private space companies.

There is also the National Amateur Rocket Competition of Star Navigator, and the progress of each team is also good, and the competition has not yet reached the final point, and the Navigator Company has already set its sights on several teams.

When the game is over, make sure to pull them all into the company.

It's just that the amateur rocket competition ran into the Moon Grand Prix and was robbed of the limelight.

But no one expected that the company that held the amateur rocket competition would take the limelight ......

Hey, it's back!

It is also because of them that the Moon Grand Prix, which is as short as one year or as long as two years, decided the first place in almost half a year.

It's crazy!

The amateur competition organized by himself has not yet come out, and the super professional competition in which he participated has come out.

And as soon as this result came out, people all over the world had melons to eat.

A private company in Tianxia actually got into a fight with the official Merriken competition and the official NASA.

The Star Navigator had just gotten the lunar soil and was developing a conference when there was news from Merriken.

[Merriken Space Excludes First Place in the Lunar Landing Contest from the Lunar Landing Contract!] 】

[Merriken Space Agency says the first place in the moon landing competition is not good! ] 】

[The team of game enthusiasts was questioned by NASA about rocket technology.] 】

[Star Navigator may lose the opportunity to compete for a contract to land on the moon!] 】

[Tianxia and Merriken still can't have aerospace cooperation! ] 】

All kinds of news came out overwhelmingly, and although Merrican officials condemned the media, they did not deny the authenticity of the report.

Later, someone verified that Merriken officials did think so.

However, they stated that there was no political reason for this, only technical reasons.

"Star Navigator's space technology does not meet the minimum technical standards for our moon landing program, and we regret that we can't joke with the lives of astronauts."

"But the prize money will definitely be paid in full to the Navigator company, and there will be no seizures, and I hope that everyone will not believe the fake news of the bad media."

"We hope that they can invest these funds in the field of new technologies and strive to develop more advanced space technology as soon as possible."

"As you know, we at Merrican are the most open and free country in the world, we have a lot of respect for science, and we will happily work with any team as long as it meets our technical requirements."

Believe it or not, the head of the Moriken Aerospace Agency was sincere when he said it.

A reporter asked about the opinion of Star Navigator on the spot, and Captain Tang also expressed his disappointment with the Merriken Space Agency on the spot.

Even after the NASA issued a statement and reporters interviewed him again, he still stuck to his previous views.

"I'm disappointed in Moriken Aerospace!"

But regardless of what Captain Don says, when the Merriken Space Agency issued an official statement, people stopped paying much attention to the matter.

After all, Merriken Space recognized their team's first-place result, and 30 million dollars were given.

It is only because of their poor technology that the rocket capacity is not good, and it is impossible to safely transport large equipment and astronauts to the moon, so they cannot participate in the subsequent bidding for the moon landing contract.

Judging from the published data, the "Chu Voyage" has a lunar carrying capacity of less than 4 tons, which is really not good.

I can't blame anyone else.

So you should listen to others, take the bonus to develop new technologies, build bigger rockets, and strive for cooperation next time.

If they have this time, they should pay attention to the progress of those big companies, and the moon landing equipment of those big companies is the hope of mankind.

People thought that was the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, the Star Navigator directly put a big move.

All of a sudden, the official of Merrican was completely confused.

By the way, I handed another batch of melons to people all over the world.

A video!

It's about new rockets, and bigger, thicker, longer!

Or the same Captain Tang, in the video, he showed the new rocket being developed by Star Navigator, which is the same as the "First Voyage", which he called the "Voyage".

The "Yuanhang" uses the CBC configuration, which is the "Falcon Heavy" rocket, and the three first-stage rockets are bundled side by side.

But the Voyage is bigger than that.

The overall height of the new rocket can reach 80 meters, and the diameter of the core stage reaches 5 meters, which is thicker than the diameter of 3.7 meters for heavy hunting.

The fairing has a diameter of 7 meters and a length of 20 meters, which is huge.

The take-off mass is 2500 tons, and at take-off 15 "super mainsail" engines work at the same time, which can produce 3000 tons of thrust.

Because the "Super Mainsail" engine is an upgraded version of the "Main Sail" engine of the first voyage, the thrust has been upgraded from 140 tons at sea level to 200 tons.

This powerful performance allows it to carry 110 tons in low earth orbit and 45 tons in lunar orbit.

It is close to the original "peerless powerhouse" Saturn V, and it is also achieved with a smaller tonnage.

This proves that technology is always advancing.

Next to the model of "Voyage" stands the "First Voyage", which is also the word "Voyage", compared with the Voyage, the First Voyage is like a small sapling next to a big tree.

It looks weak.

It also symbolizes that the technological tree of humanity has been "growing" until one day, it grows into space.
