Chapter Ninety-Three: Surprised?

"Mingming...... Obviously, our Federation's interplanetary spaceship will be completed in a year, why would an interplanetary spaceship suddenly appear in the Alliance? ”

"Tsk, what's going on with this sense of "obviously I came first"? Is it live in white? ”

"I can really hide it, I almost believed it, the Federation announced the construction progress of the interplanetary spaceship every few days, and there was no movement on our side, I almost cried, I didn't expect it to be completed by sneaking!"

"You guys, you're all too young, how many years has the alliance been like this, I wasn't in a hurry before, but now it seems that I'm really holding back something."

"Ahem, how do you talk upstairs, what is suffocation, do you know that this is called normal operation? Sit down! ”

When talking about the "Glowing" spaceship, almost everyone didn't expect that the alliance would come to such a hand.

Sneak up on the interplanetary spacecraft.

In fact, it's not sneaky, after all, it didn't hide it, it was built generously in space, but it was not officially announced to the public.

I didn't see it, I can only say that I didn't expect it.

I didn't expect that such a major event as the Alliance's construction of an interplanetary spaceship would not be announced in advance, and when the interplanetary spacecraft on the Federation's side was built, the whole world knew about it.

However, this shocking feeling can be said to be no worse than the effect of the Federation, and even completely overshadowed the propaganda effect of the Federation.

After all, it is still being built over there, and the whole ship is "launched" here, and it looks even more advanced than there.

The total length of the "Yingfu" is 200 meters, which directly turned the once 1,500-meter-long Shenzhou spaceport into a 1,300-meter-long spaceport.

Its front end is the cockpit, the central axis section is used to store materials and do gravity-free experiments, and the crew will stay in the simulated gravity cabin most of the time, after all, long-term weightlessness is very bad for the body, and it is generally controlled by the intelligent system, and they don't need to control much.

The entire annular gravity cabin is all-accessible, but for safety reasons, it is still divided into several areas by the hatch, and once there is any failure or leakage, it will not be completely destroyed.

The power zone at the back of the spacecraft is interesting, with four ion propulsion engines mounted at the upper and lower corners, and a rocket thruster in the middle.

Because the initial velocity of the ion thruster is very slow, its advantage is in the long run, and the advantage of the rocket thruster is that the thrust is large enough, but the fuel consumption is very huge, so the "Glow" adopts this combination of the two.

Since there is no need to fight against the gravity of the homestar, and only a small amount of fuel is needed to achieve a decent speed, the rocket engine is used for the initial phase of acceleration, giving the ship a relatively high muzzle velocity, after which it shuts down, and then changes to an ion engine for acceleration until it accelerates to a safe maximum speed that can be reached.

Otherwise, if you only start the ion engine, it may take a long time for the spacecraft to leave the home star, and even after ignition, it will give people the illusion of "not moving".

Combined, they will allow the Glowing to reach Mars in as little as two months, which is very important for astronauts who need to stay in space for a long time.

In this way, even if it is not the best window period, the Mars spacecraft can sail, at most it will take three or four months, and the choice time for humans to fly to Mars is much more, you must know that when it first landed on Mars, the Mars spacecraft flew in space for six months, which is still the shortest time.

“…… We can see that all the annular gravity modules on the Shenzhou spaceport have begun to rotate, including the simulated gravity module on the Glowing spacecraft, which generates centrifugal force by rotating, and then the gravity can be felt in the annular module, producing a "down-to-earth" feeling similar to that on the home planet......

“…… Both the Shenzhou spaceport and the Glowing spacecraft will undergo a one-month trial operation, and this month's time is the testing time, and on June 1, the spaceport will be officially put into use......"

“…… The Luminous spacecraft will also conduct a trial voyage on June 1, and three astronauts will fly to the moon on the Luminous spacecraft for a short-distance trial voyage three times a month, and then dock again at the Shenzhou Spaceport for a two-month overhaul, then conduct a three-month sea trial, and finally carry 20 astronauts to Mars at the end of the year to carry out a two-year Phase II Mars exploration mission......

This is even more incomparable, the Federation's interplanetary spacecraft will take another year to complete, and the spacecraft of the Alliance will fly to Mars in half a year.

And the fastest time is two months, which is half a month faster than the design speed of the Federation spacecraft in two and a half months, and sure enough, the ion thrusters on the Alliance side are more advanced.

Then there is nothing to say, this game must have been won by the league.

However, the federation that does not admit defeat will not admit it like this, and witty federal netizens began to analyze the problems here.

It stands to reason that such a major event should be carried out in international cooperation, so why is their construction so slow?

Is there a deliberate delay in the efforts of some countries?

International cooperation can share the cost burden, but it also prolongs the construction time, and many links have to be met and discussed, not between national departments, but between countries, and then between departments.

You must know that the interests of each country are different, and this kind of matter cannot be resolved by discussing it in a day or two.

And also to take into account the "deliberate" factor, after all...... Who in the world does not understand the alliance.

Especially at this critical time, there are technical failures in some countries that delay time, and you can't blame people for anything, and they didn't mean to.

After analyzing this, they began to send emails to the e-mail address of the president's office as if they had grasped some truth.

What he said was basically "XX countries are specially dragging their feet, don't cooperate with them, our federation can do it on its own, just like the moon landing eighty or ninety years ago!" ”

"We can do it ourselves, we can, and with national cooperation, we can create more jobs and get the unemployed back into work!"

"Other countries will only drag their feet, this is a duel between our Federation and the Union, it is impossible for others to participate, we could win decades ago, and we can win just as much this time! God bless the Federation! ”

For such a situation, the high-level leaders of the two countries are in a completely different state.

The alliance got the alien technology, but the time to get it is still relatively short, and it is a pity to look at the completed "Glow", if these new technologies are integrated, this first interplanetary spacecraft can definitely be more advanced, maybe it can fly to Mars in 40 days.

However, it is not too late, at least the cryogenic dormancy technology has made a breakthrough, and during the trial period of the "Glowing Confusion", several prototypes can definitely be manufactured and put on the spacecraft, and the low-temperature dormancy technology will be tested by the way during the spacecraft trial.

And the federal side is not very good, the mail censors look at those emails every day, while reading and complaining, if they can do it themselves, they will do it themselves a long time ago, how can there be any international cooperation.

The Federation is no longer the world's largest economy, and it has to pay benefits to these people who beep every day, and the benefits and guarantees cannot be reduced at all.

Their tradition is that the most expensive is the best, and now that there is no money, where is the best.
