The space bureau is eager to let the Tianjian spacecraft carry 100 tons of supplies, this time a hitchhike, the Tianzhou space station can be expanded by one-third, you must know that the overall quality of the Tianzhou space station is only more than 100 tons, less than 200 tons, these 55 tons of materials include two experimental cabins, supplies, etc.

At around 23:49 in the evening, close to the wee hours of the morning, all the supplies were finally loaded into the Sky Blade spacecraft, a total of 1,108 tons, which can send the equivalent of two ISS International Space Stations to outer space in one day.

It is no exaggeration to say that the birth of the Sky Blade spacecraft directly led to the beginning of rocket technology to withdraw from the historical stage, and the sky-high cost of launching hundreds of millions of dollars at a time compared with the cost performance of the Sky Blade spacecraft, and the withdrawal of rocket carriers from the historical stage is an unstoppable and inevitable trend.

According to the traditional cost of rocket transportation, the cost of sending 1 kg of materials to the earth's low earth orbit is about RMB?? About 150,000, that is, if the 1,108 tons of materials are sent to low earth orbit with traditional rockets, it will take RMB?? 166.2 billion, this is not counting the hidden time cost, and this is only freight, and the materials themselves have to be calculated separately.

If it is sent to the lunar orbit, it will cost 10 times more than 166.2 billion.

And the Sky Blade spacecraft only needs to fly once to send it to the sky, and it only takes RMB to deliver it to low earth orbit?? About 100 million freight, delivery to the lunar orbit only requires RMB?? It's only about 500 million freight.

It can be seen that the birth of the Sky Blade spacecraft has reduced the cost of space activities by thousands of times, at least the space activities of China have been so, and the significance and value brought by it are immeasurable.

In the early hours of the morning, a re-check confirmed that all the supplies had been placed in the cargo compartment of the ship, and the tail compartment of the Sky Blade was closed, and everyone disembarked from the ship.

In the next few days, Li Peng and others rested at the Chongming Island Air Base, and everything was ready to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to set sail for the moon.

The exact time was officially lifted off at 20:25 on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

……

North America, NASA.

"The Apollo program went to the moon, and of course the results were good, we landed on the moon and rewrote the textbooks. But it stopped soon after the moon landing, and there was no follow-up after Apollo 17. But the biggest problem is that the moon landing is no longer meaningful, and the United States cannot continue to invest heavily in maintaining a lunar base, nor can it form a substantial deterrent to the Soviet Union......"

"Now the polar bear has fallen and become a thing of the past, but now we are facing a seemingly harmless little rabbit, which has brought an unprecedented challenge to the United States."

"The moon will surely become one of the core areas of space competition in the foreseeable future, and we don't have much time to hesitate. Once control of the moon is lost, everything will be over, and at that time, the United States will be completely locked on the earth in the future interstellar era, which is called a space blockade, which is simply a disaster......"

At this moment, Jim Bridenstin, the current director of NASA, was alone in the conference hall, impassionedly facing the congressmen in the video conference to explain the key points, whether he could influence these Uncle Sam of Congress He didn't know, anyway, he felt that he was moved.

The NASA administrator, who had spoken a lot, drank a lot of water, moistened his throat, and stood gentlemanly on five large screens facing forward, each of which sat a bad old man, all of whom looked at him expressionlessly.

Jim Bridenstine tucked his neckline and prepared for another impassioned speech, but a congressman on the big screen on the edge took the lead and said, "Damn, you should go to work at Woodhorn to fight Bridensteen, not NASA." ”

The NASA administrator's tone and intimidating description are exactly the same as those in the Cape Woods Building, and the ears of the congressional elders are callousing.

Another congressman also spoke, saying, "Come on, I didn't hear much excitement about returning to the moon, only that a lot of dollars were going to be gone, how much would it cost this time?" ”

Hearing this undisguised sarcasm, Jim Bridenstine did not feel any discomfort, but was in good spirits, and immediately replied: "200 billion US dollars, it should be enough!" ”

“What？”

“Are you kidding？？”

"$200 billion? Should it also? The speaker of the head of the House of Representatives sneered coldly on the spot: "I suggest you go to Jerome, maybe he can ask the Federal Reserve to print 200 billion dollars for you to spend, if you reach out to Congress to ask for money, please be sensible, give up this unrealistic idea, I am still thinking about allocating countless funds to you to let your people go to the moon, will it be like the Apollo program just take a few jumping photos on the moon and come back." ”

Jim Bridenstine couldn't stop soaking as soon as he obeyed, Uncle Sam was also a dead poisoner, and after a while, Jim said: "At least $100 billion, can't be in ......"

The speaker decisively interrupted him, and looked directly at him and said expressionlessly: "I'll give you 50 billion dollars, don't bother me again in three years, not a penny, and don't bargain with me, that's all, you can do it yourself with how much money you are missing, if you can't do it, let the damn 'Constellation Project' continue to be dusted, huh?" ”

At the end, the conference hall fell silent, and several old men on the big screen all stared at NASA Administrator in unison, at this moment Jim Bridenstine opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, and after a while, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "OK...... Just 50 billion. ”

“Good。”

The Speaker showed an expression that was worse than crying, and then several Uncle Sams cut off communication, and all five large screens went out one by one.

The NASA administrator sighed lightly, wanting to return to the moon through a traditional chemical-fueled rocket launch, and Congress would not hear a few sounds of the $50 billion smashed into it, and the purchasing power of the dollar now cannot be compared with that of the sixties and seventies of the last century.

Returning to the moon seems to be the only way to pin hope on Vera Lopez's research breakthroughs, which will dramatically reduce the cost of space activities.

After the meeting, Jim Bridenstine held a meeting at NASA headquarters and decided on the spot to relaunch the "Constellation Project" that had been proposed in 2010.

In a sense, the director of NASA and the military giants in North America should secretly thank Gu Cheng, without his existence, it would be impossible to get a large amount of funding from Congress so easily.

……

Entering the end of September, at about 19:20 p.m. on September 21, the Chongming Island Air Base was brightly lit at the moment, and the north and south shores of the Yangtze River Delta estuary were even more crowded, and there were people everywhere.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, when this moment is the Mid-Autumn Festival, tonight's moon is unusually large and bright, the current business capital can be described as very lively, many families directly drag their families out of their mouths, adults hold children together in the Mid-Autumn Festival to watch their country's first manned moon landing, tonight is destined to be of great significance.

In order to witness this historic moment, Tianqing Technology Group announced the moon landing information in advance, which also gave many outsiders time to come.

There are also media reporters at the scene to report, Europe and the United States are upright daytime, for China's first private manned moon landing is also a lot of attention, New York's Times Square advertising screen pushed the spectacular night scene of the commercial capital crowded at the moment.

Space agencies of various countries are paying attention to the live broadcast of the moon landing, including scientists and famous celebrities, Vera Lopez is also idle to pay attention, NASA Administrator is turning on the CNN broadcast screen in his office at the moment, Elon Musk came to business some time ago to participate in this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference, and Mr. Ma chatted awkwardly for a while, and now he is also watching the live broadcast of the moon landing.

CCTV news channel once again opened a special live broadcast room to report the whole process, like last year, this time it is hundreds of millions of viewers who eat melons to watch the news together, the difference is that it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family reunited at home to watch the live broadcast of the news of the manned moon landing.

At this moment, everyone is looking forward to the moment of 20:25, and there is only about an hour left before the countdown to the moon landing.
