Chapter 315: Space Competition

The end of December 2021 is a once-in-a-few spacecraft launch window, during which the Moon and Mars have reached their closest position to Earth, and the window period is three days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past three days, whether it is the Republic, the United States, Europe, Russia, the Japanese country, and India, they are all seizing the time to launch rockets.

According to the Mars plan of the United States, the exploration of Mars will be completely completed around 2022, and the future landing site will be determined, and in 2030, the United States will take the lead in launching a manned spacecraft to let the astronauts of the United States land on Mars, and build a simple human workstation (small Mars base) on the surface of Mars in the next time, and finally realize the long-term work and life of human beings on Mars.

ESA also cooperated with the Japanese to launch a satellite made by the Japanese to Mars, which is mainly used to detect the moisture content and pH of the Martian surface, which can also be regarded as a supporting measure for the landing of the United States on Mars.

India also has a satellite, but India is very self-aware, he does not have a high-thrust rocket, the most realistic way is to explore the moon first, showing that he is also a member of the space club.

The most pitiful of them will be Russia, which has high-thrust rockets and the technology to explore the moon or Mars, but it has no money to launch rockets, so it has to stare at a few companies.

The Republic is as pragmatic as India, but it is much more ambitious than India, and the mission of exploring deep space can only be achieved with one footprint at a time, and it can't be a big fat man in one breath, and its goal is also on the moon.

Therefore, according to its own established plan, the Republic launched two major thrust rockets to the moon, which carried the necessary infrastructure materials for the construction of the lunar base and several Yuli biological panels for experiments.

When the international community learned that the Republic had also launched two rockets towards the moon, they were dismissive.

In particular, the media circles from the United States have a strong sense of superiority and pride.

"We landed on the moon 80 years ago, and the footprints left on the moon are still visible today, and it is a sad country that the Republic still does not have the technology to land on the moon after 80 years."

"What a wretch we play with, the Republic only now remembers to play! The goal of the great people of the United States is on distant Mars, not on the moon, the nanny of the Earth. ”

"Now I finally know why the Republic's Mars program is only on paper, because they don't have any technology to reach Mars, they can only make a small fuss on the moon."

Not only the people of the United States ridiculed the Republic, but even the Wa countries, which cooperated with ESA to launch the Mars probe, also looked down on the Republic, everything that the moon could explore had already been explored, it was a dead satellite, and what reason was there for exploration. Limited resources and technology should be applied to the wider starry sky, and Mars is the first step for human beings to enter deep space!

Even a small country like the Lion City publishes so-called commentator articles through the media.

Lianhe Zaobao: During the space exploration window in 2021, the competition for resources between major powers has continued from the earth to the sky, and it is obvious that the more technologically advanced Europe, the United States and the United States have successfully entered the first echelon, and the exploration and development of Mars will be the first step for mankind to move towards a more distant universe, while the Republic and India are obviously lagging behind and are still exploring the moon that mankind has known for a long time......

The citizens of the Republic are very concerned about this lunar exploration of the Republic and are proud of the successful launch of the country's two rockets. However, with the foreign media reporting like this, the originally excited citizens could not get excited, no matter how successful the Republic is, there is still a big gap between the technology of Europe and the United States, and if this gap is calculated by time, it is 80 years!

Eighty years ago, astronauts landed on the moon in the United States, and the republic's lunar landing program is only vaguely told that after a year or two, there is still no clear goal.

This disparity is deeply rooted in the bones of the people, and the feeling of powerlessness will then turn into inferiority. At first, the people were still talking about the country's great space technology after dinner, but with the reports of foreign media, they sighed, it is better not to mention it, everyone else is on Mars, let's still be on the moon, what else to mention.

CCTV, as usual, opened a program column after the successful launch of the rocket and invited relevant experts to comment. As always, the domestic media have praised the Republic's space technology.

But some people in some regions are ashamed to explore the moon.

In Xiangjiang City, some pro-independence youths who have been brainwashed by Europeans and Americans look down on them even more, and they think that the technology of the Republic is the technology that the United States did not want in the last century!

"It's a shame to come out and brag about being so backward!"

"If only Xiangjiang City still belonged to the United Kingdom, then we are now focusing on the great Mars instead of the humble Moon, poor mainlanders, sitting in the well and watching the sky!"

The media of Wanwan Green Camp ridiculed even more: "The United States has stepped into Mars with one foot, and the other side is still thinking of trying to land on the moon, what a shame!" ”

The blue battalion stabbed the green battalion's knife in the back: "Our Wanwan can't even shoot satellites, what qualifications do you have to say about others!" Let's be pragmatic and try to do a good job in the economy. ”

The engineers of the Republic's Lunar Exploration Center were outraged by the opinion of the population.

Engineer Niu Hai sighed: "What the hell is wrong with our people, why are they not proud but ashamed of the moon landing!" ”

Ouyang also sighed: "Everyone thinks that the technology of the Republic of China to explore the moon is the technology that the United States did not want eighty years ago, we are not disgusting and picked it up, we don't dislike it, but the disgusting people feel disgusting." They don't know that a small progress in space technology will cost a lot of time, manpower, and material resources, and that it is not easy for us to start from scratch at every step! Moreover, our moon program is fundamentally different from that of the United States, and we want to build a survival base on it. ”

Niu Hai shook his head and said: "Mr. Ou, why don't you tell the people about our plan to build a lunar base, why hide it like this?" ”

Ouyang said: "Because of the participation of chaotic creatures in this plan, we have made a great leap forward, eliminating the necessary step of manned landing on the moon and returning to Earth, whether it is to prevent failure or to confuse Europe and the United States, we can't say it until we succeed!" ”

The republic's lunar cargo spacecraft has reached near-lunar orbit.

Imperial Capital Ground Control Center:

"Slow down and adjust the flight attitude, target the Pirry crater, and prepare to land."

"The flight attitude has been adjusted, and now it's ready to land!"
