Chapter 808: Doubting Life
On that day, thick smoke billowed from the land of the country, and the smoke column soared into the sky, and people shouted, ran, and cried.
Especially some old people who have experienced that incident decades ago, they have silently left tears, after all, they lived in that era, and the memory of that incident is extremely profound.
Although the young people of the new generation have not experienced those things and don't know what the specific situation was back then, they also know some through some videos, texts, and pictures.
So although young people don't feel as deeply as those old people, seeing such a situation now, their psychology is quite unpleasant.
There are emotions and regrets, and the rest is deep sighs.
Yes, I'm very excited, because such a scene was not blown up by someone else, and of course, it was not made by the Arc Group.
The column of smoke that soared into the sky was just a flight trace of a carrier rocket, not a missile bombing, let alone a world nuclear level, nor a flight trace of an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead.
The reason why the reaction of the people of the United States is so big, and even some of them cry, well, crying excitedly, it is because it has been a long time since the United States has been so spectacular, such an intuitive scene to promote strength.
Due to the large number of thrusters to be used this time, their size is small for the "Tutadis" asteroid, which is close to five kilometers, but the pressure on the carrying capacity of the Mi launch vehicle is still not small.
Although their launch vehicle technology has also been upgraded due to alien technology, each rocket of different models can carry up to two or three Hercules thrusters, so a large number of launch vehicles are needed.
And because of the particularity of the mission, they need these thrusters to reach the predetermined area at the same time, even if they can't reach at the same time, but the interval can't be too long, so the United States has used all the rocket launch sites this time, and even the private rocket launch site just built by the former Musk Space Company.
Previously, in order to facilitate the implementation of follow-up plans and later company development, Musk Aerospace put forward the requirement of building a private rocket launch site, but as soon as it was built, it was not used once or twice, and Musk Aerospace was acquired.
It just so happened that the United States did not let the Arc Group take it away, and the Arc Group did not want it, so in the end, the United States spent some money and bought it again.
With the addition of the initial island alien technology, the United States has started the plan for a large aerospace aircraft, and they also need such a vehicle, but the use of launch vehicles is not small, and it cannot be left behind.
In the foreseeable near future, a simple and crude recoverable launch vehicle will still be of great use in terms of cost, and its performance is constantly improving due to the addition of new programs.
In the future, space activities will increase dramatically, and launch vehicles are absolutely indispensable, but this requires more rocket launch sites, so the United States directly bought the private rocket launch site built by Musk's aerospace.
This is the spectacular scene of more than a dozen rockets taking off together today.
It also made many elderly people seem to see the scene when the rice country landed on the moon, which was also so spectacular, so exciting, and could really feel the strength of the rice country.
However, some people sighed that this kind of scene looks so spectacular, why not have a feeling of a general's twilight years.
It looks very strong, and it looks powerful when it comes to armor, and it can dance a set of killing knives with a knife, but whether you can kill the enemy on the field can only be known by yourself.
At this time, there was also a high degree of tension in the aerospace command center of the United States, and several command rooms were constantly busy.
It was also the first time they had launched more than a dozen rockets at the same time, because there were so many projects to monitor and command that one command room was simply too busy, and several command rooms had to be used.
Moreover, these command rooms must cooperate with each other, and their respective data must be closely interconnected, and there can be no mistake at all, otherwise there may be a chain reaction.
“…… No. 4 and No. 7 rockets have normal tracking, normal attitude and normal fuel consumption......"
“…… The No. 5, No. 9 and No. 11 rockets have normal tracking, normal attitude and normal fuel consumption......"
“…… When the predetermined altitude is reached, the auxiliary thruster machine and the first-stage thruster are disengaged, and the landing procedure of the auxiliary thruster and the first-stage thruster is started......"
“…… The fairing is detached, detached from normal, the rocket flight attitude is normal, and the fairing landing procedure begins......"
Listening to the reports in the command center one by one, all of them were normal sounds, until the rockets entered space, and then those third-stage rockets carried all the "Hercules" intelligent thrusters towards the "Tutatis" asteroid, Victor finally relieved his heart, and applauded with the applause of the staff in the command center.
Next to Victor was his acquaintance, Deputy Director Bretta of the Tactical Technology Division of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which also had the participation of their Advanced Planning Agency, because a lot of the technology was to be brought together with them, so the project was also strongly supported by them.
Bretta stretched out her hand and shook hands with Victor and smiled, "Congratulations, Victor, this time the pressure on your space agency should be much less, and finally under the pressure of arc spaceflight, such a big thing has been done, so that the eyes of the world have gathered on the United States again." ”
"It's true to refocus the eyes of the world, but if the pressure is reduced," Victor shook his head worriedly, "I don't think so." ”
"How?"
When things progress to a certain stage, there is no need for them to keep an eye on them all the time, at this time, the thrusters are running towards the "Tutadis" asteroid in space, there are not many things, and it is not easy to go wrong, so the two came to the side to drink coffee.
Victor took a sip of coffee before answering Brighta's question, "You also know that our mission this time is actually to pick up cheap, and the Arc Group did not think or plan to mine asteroids, so we have this plan." ”
"With the scientific and technological strength of the Arc Group, if they want to mine small stars, it must be much easier than us, how can this strength gap make the pressure smaller."
"That's true," Bretta also realized the problem, frowned and took a sip of coffee, "From the perspective of the technology we have come into contact with, take the soon-to-be-successful aerospace aircraft project as an example, although we have borrowed a lot of alien technology, but the final results may not be as good as the original generation of aerospace in arc space." ”
"What's more, the aerospace aircraft of arc space have been improved many times, and even the third-generation aerospace aircraft that we have classified them now can already take off and land vertically."
"This type of aerospace aircraft is already the prototype of a small spaceship, and the only difference between it and the small spacecraft in science fiction movies is that it cannot yet conduct deep space voyages."
"That's right, that's the difference between the two," Victor said, worriedly.
"There is nothing on the Arc Space side, but it has the same technical level as a science fiction movie, and our side has obviously obtained the alien technology in science fiction movies, but it looks like real life."
