Chapter 285: All eyes on you

Comparison is of course the best way to resolve differences, but from an outsider's point of view, the gap between the two is a bit big, NASA is a space department that has been established for more than 100 years, is under the US government, and has received full support. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Ann's Industries is just a private company that has never heard of a name a year ago, and has recently become famous because of the builder of space elevators.

These two institutions, whose strength is not proportional no matter how you look at it, are not convinced by each other.

After the challenge, all members of the Ann's Industries withdrew from the Kennedy Center and returned to California to use Vandenberg Air Force Base.

On the surface, Ann's Industries does not have much to do with the government, but its ability to use U.S. air bases and access to U.S. military programs proves that it is extraordinary.

The competition between these two aerospace organizations has begun to be taken squarely.

The Jackson administration, which supports everything behind the scenes, is also willing to compete with the sight. An Yang attaches great importance to the development of space technology, and he hopes that more companies will participate in the competition.

The contest between Ann's Industries and NASA is a representative, in addition to making the people who eat melons happy, but also showing the powerful space technology of the Pacific Community, showing its muscles for the "space force" they want to build in the future.

Ann's Industries seems to have started late, but it is the fastest, and when NASA was preparing for the launch of the aerospace plane, their aerospace plane chose a sunny day and took off.

The government allowed some media to track and report, and in the eyes of the audience, the preparations for the take-off of ANS felt like the captain had eaten enough and the passenger plane took off at the point, simple, casual, and just go.

But it's an event that flies into space! ANS is also too easy to relax! Their space planes soared into the sky, and their special fuels and engines broke through the limits of the Earth's gravity to reach Earth's orbit.

However, due to the arbitrary launch time, the space station is located on the other side of the orbit, and the ANS aerospace aircraft has made temporary adjustments, using the gravitational slingshot effect of the earth to accelerate to the space station.

The plane successfully arrived and docked, and the astronauts, wearing completely self-developed spacesuits, used their own scientific and technological equipment, took the robot with their tows, and landed on the space station.

The whole journey is smooth, like walking in your own backyard.

The people who paid attention were dumbfounded, how could aerospace still be so arbitrary?

However, the amazement was not enough, the ANS deliberately showed that it was powerful, and when the astronauts landed on the space station, he brought control equipment, and when the space plane was refueled, they let the robot return to the plane and continue the mission.

This moment attracted the attention of the global media, because the ANS officials just announced that they had temporarily decided to let the space plane fly around the moon!

The words "temporary plan", let's not say whether it can be realized, but the realm is different.

For the civilization of the initial exploration of space, every item of space does not need to be planned in advance, drilled many times, and no mistakes can be made, because this is the period of human exploration.

Civilizations that possess mature space technology and have developed to a certain height may temporarily change their plans in the middle of the process and go freely as they want, because they are already in the period of conquest.

The temporary change of words stimulates people's attention, and as they cooperate with the military, the main purpose is to develop military equipment, and the aircraft they have developed are more inclined to the ever-changing space operations.

ANS proves with strength that they are a powerful military-industrial complex!

By the time the robots steered the space plane out of the space station, activated the super ion thrusters, and finally used a gravitational slingshot to shake off the Earth and run to the moon, they had already trampled NASA under their feet.

Whether planned in advance or improvised, ANS's technology surpasses NASA in every way, and its aircraft are admirable for their casualness and efficiency.

Along the way, the aerospace aircraft also conducted some space strike tests, and the lasers carried by the aircraft were out of the Earth's orbit and rushed into the arms of the moon, which in turn destroyed the scrapped satellites that were targets.

By the time it had entered the lunar orbit and adjusted its attitude, the recharged weapon had reached the milestone of a human strike by an extraterrestrial vehicle, and now it could attack the lunar surface if the ANS controller wanted to.

Seeing this, the professionals were finally convinced.

The ability of the space plane to fly to the moon and back after a refueling is a testament to the fact that it will be able to hit the entire solar system with a gravitational slingshot.

If the space plane is scaled up in proportion, or simply built into a space warship, using a nuclear reactor to power the ion thrusters, and the slogan of maintaining peace in the solar system will be truly realized.

What are the prerequisites for building a space battleship? Space Elevator! The space elevator that is being built in full swing is the work of which company? Ann's Industrial Group!

All the clues are clear.

……

The space plane completed its flight around the moon under the watchful eye, returned without refueling the space station, and directly re-entered the atmosphere in one breath and landed at the air base.

When the robot opened the cabin door and fell to the ground, the media at the scene boiled! The space muscles of the United States have made countless people applaud and open the eyes of countless countries.

For the first time, people realized the charm of space travel.

People have also appreciated the advanced technology of ANS, whether in terms of aircraft, aerospace equipment or details, they are a generation, if not several generations, of concepts.

This company, which appeared out of thin air, has amazing technology in its hands, and immediately leaves behind the technology of various countries, including the United States, leaving a back that cannot be missed.

Absolute strength has made the name of ANS.

Now the whole world knows that they have the most advanced aerospace aircraft, the most complete equipment for space navigation and activities, and the most abundant space experience.

It is also known that the space elevator that is being built and claimed to be put into operation in a year is also from this dark horse company.

Eventually, ANS took over NASA and will be responsible for a major part of the U.S. President's plan to land on the moon, adding glory to history.

It is not uncommon for humans to land on the moon, to land on Mars, or even to send machines to land on Europa, and even have bases on the moon and Mars.

But a head of state landed on an alien planet, which has never happened before! Those who can land on alien planets are all the top elites among astronauts!

To put it bluntly, it requires not only talent, but also training day and night. What kind of confidence does the president of the United States, who has only achieved overnight achievements, dare to say that he wants to go to the moon?

The answer is: technology makes up for it.

In the future, aerospace will definitely be as common as taking trains and planes now, and no one now says that taking trains requires train technical expertise and plane qualifications, right?

The technology of the interstellar navigation era should ensure that an ordinary person can skillfully use equipment to carry out space navigation and planet landing after simple training.

It is this philosophy that Anyan wants to bring to the world.

He doesn't just want to put on a show and create milestones, he also wants to use his own experience to show everyone that human technology has reached the point where ordinary people can travel in space.

This self-confidence, which accompanied the launch day at Vandenberg Air Force Base, became an ironclad fact, and despite repeated dissuasions from officials as risky, it could not stop Mr. Anyang's self-confidence.

When the president who changed into an ANS-specific spacesuit appeared, the on-site media and the live broadcast platform of the Internet began to be lively, and the news that the US president was going to land on the moon had already spread all over the world.

In addition to admiring this fierce president, people still admire it...... A large number of attracted media will follow the whole process and broadcast the process live.

The massive spaceplane is in the spotlight of the camera, and it has six engines that are used in the atmosphere and in space, giving it a somewhat clumsy appearance, unlike the dexterity of a fighter jet.

But dexterity doesn't mean anything to it, and in the face of sheer speed, only lasers can threaten it. If it is modified for militarization, its mobile defense capability can also be improved.

Now the aircraft is mainly carrying people and freight, and its cockpit has four positions, and there is a small cargo compartment behind it to carry supplies.

An Yang, who was wearing a light spacesuit, appeared and waved his hand to the camera, and the audience applauded, and under the guidance of the staff, he walked to the side of the aerospace plane and climbed up from the ladder.

Behind him was Hasina, who had been to space, but had not yet landed on an alien planet, and the remaining crew seat of the space plane fell to her.

Two professional astronauts are responsible for flight and control, two passengers sit behind the pilot, artificial intelligence conducts a self-check, and then the astronauts and ground staff review it, and everything is ready.

The two engines of the aerospace aircraft ignited and began to accelerate on the runway. (To be continued.) )
