Chapter 378: Lunar Landing Program
The US plan to land on the moon was put forward by President Kennedy, and it was only after he personally made the decision that it was finalized, and behind it was driven by many consortia to make such a bold decision.
As for the backs of those consortia, in fact, there are the so-called people. To be precise, it should be a joint effort between Freemasonry and the Illuminati.
The United States was the first to launch a lunar probe by the Navy in 1958, but it died halfway due to the explosion of the first stage of the rocket. Subsequently, three Pioneer probes were launched one after another, all of which failed.
At that time, the U.S. Navy was still delusional about competing with SCC to seize control of U.S. aerospace technology research. After several failures, the U.S. Navy's enthusiasm for this has cooled. In addition, the successful launch of the SCC rocket made it famous all over the world, and slowly seized the leadership of NASA.
Since then, the rocket and satellite technology in the United States has been controlled by SCC, which in turn is jointly controlled by Alex and Hughes. At the beginning, Alex still focused on the research and development of aerospace technology, but after testing to become a human being, the return of his grandfather and grandmother, and the killing of ghosts in Vietnam, Alex slowly shifted his focus of interest.
The research work of the SCC company slowed down, and in the end, it was surpassed, especially after Alex came to this world, which caused a certain butterfly effect and caused Korolev, the father of Soviet rocketry, not to die at the hands of quacks, etc. The Soviet Union's space technology has always been ahead of the Americans, even if NASA has caught up a little. The other party immediately surpassed the past.
All in all, whether in the original history or in the current time and space, the United States' aerospace technology has always been overpowered by the Soviet Union, and it has not been able to surpass it at all.
NASA, under the leadership of von Bryan, has been working hard to explore the moon and hope to successfully land on the moon one day.
It was not until January 30, 1963, that Prowler 6, which was launched, landed in the still sea region of the moon. But due to the malfunction of the TV camera, it was not possible to get the picture back. On July 28 of the same year, Prowler 7 was successfully launched, landing in the sea of clouds on the lunar surface, and 4,308 close-up photos of the lunar surface were taken.
This was followed by Prowler 8, launched on February 17, 1964, and Prowler 9, launched on March 24, both of which successfully landed on the Moon. 7,137 and 5,814 close-up photos of the moon were taken respectively. On May 30, 1965, the new surveyor 1 probe was launched. After a 64-hour flight, it made a soft landing on the lunar surface of the storm ocean, sending back 11,150 photos of the lunar surface to the ground.
Of the seven Surveyor probes launched by January 1, 1966, two failed. 5 successes. Afterward. The United States launched another 5 lunar orbiters. Provide probe data for the selection of landing sites for the Apollo manned lunar landing. After this series of unmanned exploration, the true face of Lushan Mountain on the moon was revealed.
Just when the Americans were gearing up to take the moon in one fell swoop. But there is even more unexpected news from the Soviet Union, and the countdown to the moon landing is already underway! Judging from the leaked information from the Soviet side, the Soviet N-1 rocket is far more powerful than the American Saturn rocket, and it is also more complete than the Americans.
Suddenly, Americans felt the horrors of Redism and were thinking about the Red Dawn movie scene, and the pressure fell on them. Even the Venerable felt that they wanted to stop the Soviet Union, and even held a meeting for this.
At the meeting, it was proposed: "Since the core figure in the development of astronautical technology of the Soviets is Korolev, then it is enough to simply get rid of Korolev." ”
This seems to be a good solution, the Freemasons and the Illuminati also have a deep penetration on the Soviet side, and they can assassinate Korolev by remotely controlling certain people, after all, this is only a scientific person, not some leading figure, as long as their means are hidden, no one will suspect the cause of death at all.
After hearing such a solution, Alex immediately understood that Korolev had really been killed. As soon as he died, there was a problem with the launch of the N-1 rocket, and there were four consecutive failures during the launch process, and at this time, the news of the successful moon landing of the United States came, and finally they had to give up the moon landing plan.
Alex pinched his fingers and counted: "This year is 1966, which happens to be the date of Korolev's death!" In that case, everything is right. ”
Alex didn't want to interfere too much in this matter, but what he didn't expect was that the assassination failed! It seems that because of Alex's appearance, there was some butterfly effect that caused Korolev to not die at the hands of doctors as he did in history.
The presence of Korolev put a lot of pressure on them, and it was NASA and SCC that took all of this.
They lost Alex's support and suddenly had to run on their own, which was really hard to get used to. However, under von Bryan's leadership, they soon learned how to walk on their own and developed many epoch-making astronautical techniques.
In 1962, the year after the creation of the Peace Space Station, the American space station was also launched. This man-made object, known as the "International Space Station", is known as the second human habitation in outer space.
Since the concept of the space station was proposed, it has quickly become familiar to people, especially in various science fiction novels, movies, and TV series, and the space station is an enduring topic.
Among them, the most famous is the "Space Academy" filmed by ABC TV, this TV series is about the story of a school established in outer space, telling the story of the future world, human beings have built a space station in space as a school, and many magical things have happened here for students from all over the world.
"Space Academy" has extremely high ratings, and although the storyline of the show seems childish to Alex, it is aimed at school students. Naturally, there is no need to be so rigorous in terms of scientific logic. Many elementary school students, middle school students, and even adults like to watch this TV series, and it has become an indelible memory for many people.
Many years later, when many scientists recalled this TV series, they all said that it was because of watching this science fiction film that they became interested in space, and then became interested in science.
The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for space was ostensibly because of the Cold War, but in fact, they wanted to be the first to land on the moon. Because there is a legacy of an ancient civilization on it. That is the inhabitant of the moon known as the "Moon Demon". They once almost ruled the Earth, and they were called the masters of this world.
Even though the "Moon Demons" have been eliminated for many years, their technology and weapons are still intact on the moon, which is what both the United States and the Soviet Union want.
For the inside scoop on this. Alex still knows everything. But what he didn't expect was this. In fact, this matter will eventually find him. After a few years of living a peaceful life at ease, the Jonathans reappear with only one purpose in finding Alex.
Sage's Legacy!
"Why did you suddenly think of digging up the Sage's legacy? Didn't you say don't you leave it alone before that? Alex asked, a little puzzled. He asked this question when he was separated from his grandparents.
It is said that the sage heritage was placed in a place where no one could reach it, so everyone was only concerned about the key to unlock the inheritance, rather than trying to grab the key to dig up the inheritance.
This is also the reason why Alex can get away with it, otherwise, someone would have forced him to dig up the inheritance, where is there so much free time to sing, make movies, write books and so on.
"That's because no one was able to reach that place before, but now someone is almost there!" Angelina said with a wry smile.
"Huh?" Alex was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what the other party meant: "You mean, the sage's legacy is buried on the moon?" ”
"Yes!" Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan replied.
"Now that the Soviets are about to fly to the moon, that's why you're in a hurry?"
"Yes, you're right!" Jonathan nodded and said, "We thought it would be a while before humans could land on the moon, but now it seems that the time is almost up. ”
"Isn't there a moon demon on the moon? When did it become associated with the sage's legacy again? ”
"That's a long story!" Angelina sighed.
After explaining, Alex realized that it was not the vampire clan that started the war with the Moon Demons, but the werewolves and the sage lineage also participated in the war. It's just that at that time, werewolves were still controlled by the Moon Demon and were enslaved as minions.
In fact, vampires and werewolves are both races left over from ancient civilizations, among which vampires are actually the leaders of the transformation, this is the remnant of the Golden Age, they themselves belong to the super high command creatures, even if they are transformed into dark creatures, they still retain this characteristic.
Werewolves are transformed warriors, they are the remnants of the Bronze Age, they have strong combat effectiveness, but unfortunately they have great mental defects.
Only the sages of the remnants of the Silver Age have not been tempted and fallen by the Moon Demons, and they are the only race that have not been converted, and they have been thinking about how to destroy the Moon Demons, an evil race that invaded the earth.
After many years of layout, the sage successfully rescued the vampire from the Moon Demon's clutches, allowing the vampire to come to his senses, thus cutting off one of the Moon Demon's arms, and thus laying the foundation for the Moon Demon's downfall.
As early as when the vampires did not openly betray the Moon Demon, the Sage used various means to make the Moon Demon open up a space on the moon, so that these beings from outer space could have a good living environment. However, in fact, this is a trap.
When the war broke out, the vampires fended off the Moon Demon and the werewolves, while the Sage managed to seal the space off.
At first, the Moon Demons thought that the Sages wanted to invade the moon where they lived, so they all evacuated the Earth and returned, but when the space was sealed, these Moon Demons not only lost the source of their strength, but also had no way to open the space to escape.
"All in all, the process is very complicated, and the space blockade is not as simple as we imagined. At that time, the sage lineage also made a lot of sacrifices, and buried his civilization heritage with the Moon Demon. Only the Great Sage knows how to open up the legacy, in other words, the space on the moon. ”
This explanation made Alex's hair feel cold, and he immediately thought of a question: "Doesn't that mean I'm in danger right now?" If the Soviets were able to get to the moon, they would immediately turn around and turn against me, or at least get the password key. ”
Angelina shook her head and said: "No, the people on the Soviet side also don't know much about it, and not many people even know about the existence of this password key." ”
Hearing such an answer, Alex was a little relieved, he thought for a while and said, "What do you want to do?" Do you want me to go to the moon and open up the space to take out the sage's legacy? If there is still a Moon Demon alive inside, then wouldn't I kill myself? ”
Alex wasn't much interested in inheritance or anything. If there were some thoughts in the past, it was because I wanted to find a kind of strength and let myself have enough right to speak. Ever since he got a "Demon Breaking Spear", he already had such strength.
At least he already has the ability to flip the table and stand aside as a chess player, rather than being manipulated as a pawn. If there was no such thing as the Soviets landing on the moon, then he would simply have taken it as the key to not getting the sage's inheritance, and let the secret remain forever.
Now it seems that this is a difficult thing to do. According to the Jonathans' speculation, although the Soviets did not have the key, it was very likely that they would find other ways to break through the space and enter it. At least some superpowers can do it, it's just a matter of success rate. (To be continued......)
