Alwalil Mohammed Alshat, is a member of the royal family of Shat, to be precise, a prince of the royal family of Shat.

The royal family in Saudi Arabia is a large family system, which also includes a large number of princes, and there are no accurate figures on the number of princes, but rough estimates are more than 2,000.

Muhammad was only a marginal prince.

He graduated from King Sutter University and had experience in the military, as well as a special profession that distinguished other princes - astronaut.

Shatter had signed a $30 billion deal and sent their astronauts to the plantation station.

When this plan was first discussed, it was going to be carried out seven years later, and as a result, Sartle directly came up with $30 billion.

The decision-makers discussed with the space agency, and immediately made a decision to let the other side's astronauts follow the next manned spacecraft into the space station.

Alvalier entered the Planter space station on behalf of Sater, and continued to work and live on the space station for more than three months.

After returning to the surface, Alvalier became the only astronaut to go into space, and arguably a real astronaut.

He also went from a marginal prince to a well-known figure.

Now Alvalier is coming to the Tianhang base on behalf of Sart, and there is also a strong sponsorship from the Sarter royal family, specifically, a $50 billion equipment and material order, and a $7 billion direct sponsorship.

This is a condition that simply cannot be refused.

So Alvalier successfully became a member of the boarding team, even if he was not a scientist and did not have specific plans to do research during space travel, but it did not prevent him from making this special cosmic journey on behalf of Sater.

Before coming, Alvalier was mentally prepared for a difficult environment for more than a month, and after following the team to visit, he found that he had come for a vacation at all.

He had no specific work plan, only a few research institutes and simple tasks assigned to him by the king.

For example, biological samples of special strains are brought to spacecraft and returned to Earth before being returned to the Agency.

For example, get a feel for the annihilation technology on the spaceship, and come back and give a debriefing to learn more about how amazing the gravitational field technology is.

For example, the king told him to make friends with some scientific people, and it was best to recruit a few people to work in the Sartre Academy.

This last point is not mandatory.

Alwalier also felt that it could not be done at all, because every scientist involved in the project had a national and big business background behind them.

In the crowd on board, Alvalier was very low-key.

He was a bit out of place, because he was surrounded by top scientists, and he was an astronaut who knew very little about theory and technology.

In addition, there are very few white faces on the team.

The others are all flower planting families, they have been communicating with Chinese, and he only understands some simple Chinese, so he can't understand it at all.

Alvalier still stands in the 'alien group', but he still feels very awkward because he is the only Ara-ber.

Others are just as casual.

They were very satisfied with the internal environment of the spacecraft, and even felt that the voyage plan was like a vacation.

Provided, of course, that there is no work.

The vast majority of them came with work assignments, and only a few did not have a definite work content.

Alvalier is one.

Ding Zhiqiang is also one.

James can only be regarded as a 'half', he needs to participate in the scientific research tasks of the Monel company, but because he is not a core researcher, he is only responsible for the ray control part, and the work content is relatively small.

Ding Zhiqiang and James are located very close to Alvalier.

He was talking to James, "The best decision I made was to come and participate in this voyage." ”

"I especially begged Mr. Wang to have this opportunity, Paul is the main choice, the chief technical consultant, and I am only the deputy."

"Deputy, so there's very little work. Unless there's a problem that can't be solved, I won't be needed at all. ”

"Of course, Paul might have instructed me to work, and I really didn't want that, so I had to stay away from him as much as possible."

James pursed his lips vigorously and nodded in approval, "You're right, very right, don't go near that guy, he will feel uncomfortable when he sees you being idle." ”

"Of course I do."

When visiting the experimental cabin, Ding Zhiqiang pointed to a workshop and introduced, "That's my workshop, to be exact, Paul and I's, but I'm sure he prefers to stay in the control room." ”

"I installed several games on my computer, and I also downloaded several T-movies and TV series, all of which I did by myself."

"I have a great idea."

"When the plan starts, we can play cards to kill time, the voyage will last more than a month, and the spacecraft will not be connected to the Earth's network, which will definitely be very boring."

James shook his head and said, "It's not a good idea, what's the point of playing cards?" It's not Vegas again. ”

Ding Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "We can turn it into Las Vegas, just add chips, and it will be very exciting." ”

Obviously not very interested, James shook his head and said, "In the flower planter, it is illegal to bet on Bo. ”

"Of course, it is illegal to plant flowers in the house, the question is that we are in outer space, which law can govern outer space?"

“……”

James tugged at the corners of his mouth.

He deeply suspected that Ding Zhiqiang knew that he had received a check for tens of millions of dollars, so he suggested playing card games with chips together.

Alvalier stood next to him and listened, and he suddenly said, "Professor Ding, your suggestion is really great, what's the point of two people playing cards?" Take me one! ”

Ding Zhiqiang asked, "Are you ...... The prince? Sorry, I don't know your name. ”

"Alwalil Muhammad bin Al-......," Alvalier said, after a long list of names, added at the end, "you may call me Alwalier." ”

He added, "I'm also idle. ”

Ding Zhiqiang reacted, and immediately stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, "Welcome to join, Prince Alvalier!" ”

James stared at Alvalier, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Ding, I suddenly think your idea is very good!" ”

……

The tour of the boarding team is over.

After that, personnel outside the base were assigned to a fixed living quarter, and they were not allowed to move around the base at will, and some areas involving confidential technology were forbidden to enter.

Of course, many people also need to focus on their work preparations, while others simply recuperate, hoping to maintain a healthy body before the program begins.

At the same time, they receive final operational training.

These operation trainings are related to the use of equipment, including emergency devices, safety devices, etc., as well as equipment operations related to gravitational field technology, because it is worried that the equipment may seriously endanger the life safety of personnel in the case of equipment conditions.

Everyone needs to know how to turn off the gravitational device, and it is always safer to be in a weightless environment than in a gravitational environment.

The voyage plan has entered the final stage of preparation, and public opinion has also become hot as the plan time approaches.

After the second release of the spacecraft company, until now, there has been no further release, so that there are many related concerns in public opinion.

For example, there are fears that the voyage will be postponed, and some even worry that the plan will be terminated.

"The voyage plan is too high-end, and we have to make adequate preparations."

"The preparation time is completely insufficient, such a huge plan takes several years, more than ten years, and the time schedule released by the spacecraft company is too tight."

"There is no news so far, and the possibility of a delay in the plan is very high."

These public opinions are of the normal type.

Public opinion in one of the three countries has emerged that the voyage plan will definitely be postponed, and the delay will not only be a few months, but probably a few years, or even the eventual termination of the plan.

The argument is very popular in a certain three countries, one is that they don't want to see the success of the flower planters.

Second, the voyage plan did not involve personnel from one of the three countries, and without the participation of personnel from their own countries, they naturally did not want the plan to be carried out smoothly.

In the end, they genuinely felt that it was normal for a similar huge project to be postponed, not to mention a few months, but it was normal to delay it for a few years, as long as it could be completed, it would be remarkable.

For example, the aircraft carrier they built was delayed by more than ten years from the plan, and it has not been perfected until now, and there are still various problems on every voyage.

It was just an aircraft carrier floating on the sea, and the space spacecraft was obviously much more complicated.

It is equipped with a variety of ultra-high-end technologies, some of which are not mature at all, and the possibility of problems is even higher.

This view has also spread to a certain amount of international public opinion, but there are still many remarks that hold opposite views, and even directly refute the claims of a certain three countries.

That's a message from Sartre.

In an interview, senior members of the royal family confirmed that the voyage plan would be carried out on time, "Alvalier's work is going well, he has completed his training and arrived at the Sky Voyage base." ”

"He's seen the ship with his own eyes, and he knows how well the preparations are going."

"Everything will go according to plan, and we can't wait to see this voyage as a great one for Alvalier, and for Sater!"

Sutter really takes the voyage very seriously.

They put a lot of money into the project, not to do any scientific research, but to have a place.

It's an honor to have a place.

The boarding team of the Voyage Program consisted of personnel from only eight countries.

In addition to the flower growers, there are only seven countries left, and only four countries have obtained quotas through contacts between decision-makers, and the rest are representatives of large enterprises.

Sartre got the quota through the contact of the decision-making level, and it feels very honorable to think about it.

You know, even American doesn't have a slot.

The fact that Amriken people can participate in the project represents the cooperation of enterprises, and has nothing to do with the decision-making level at all.

Soon.

The information released by the Spaceship Corporation confirms the claims of the royal family of Schatter, who have determined the timing of the voyage program for the third time.

This time it is not only said that it will be held in September, but it will also be held on September 1st, which is a week later, and the time is very close.

From the initial determination of the plan to the present, the spacecraft company has released information three times.

Now it has been completely determined, and it has also reassured public opinion, and at the same time, it has also caused a new round of heated discussions in public opinion.

In the information released by the spacecraft, in addition to the time of the voyage plan, the time for the opening of the interview was also set.

"The Tianhang base will open on August 29, when media reporters can enter the base to conduct interviews."

"On August 31st, the company will hold its last external press conference, and by the next day, it will officially start the plan, launch the spacecraft, and start the journey to Jupiter......"

Such a high-profile open interview by the spacecraft company was unexpected by public opinion.

The voyage plan is very large, many of the technologies involved need to be kept strictly confidential, and the plan itself is also very risky, so the open interview is very high-profile.

What if something goes wrong halfway through?

All the publicity in the early stage will become a joke, it will become meaningless at all, and it will be sad to take it out and watch it again.

In fact, the high-profile propaganda was a decision made by the spacecraft company and the decision-makers, because there was no point in keeping a low profile, and the plan itself was too large to be kept secret.

If there is any problem in the middle of the voyage, as long as it is related to the power system, it will be a very major catastrophic accident.

At that time, it will be impossible for the spacecraft to return to Earth at all.

There is no chance that the personnel on board will survive, and the ship itself will only be adrift in the solar system forever, and will be hit and disintegrated at some point in the future.

This kind of catastrophic accident will also lead to the direct bankruptcy of the spacecraft company, and the company can directly declare bankruptcy, and the flower planter will also suffer heavy losses.

In that case, what difference does it make to advertise or not to advertise?

So, everything was done according to the 'it will work', and the plan was simply interviewed openly before it began.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's open interview day.

A large group of media reporters poured into the Tianhang base, but their activity area was still restricted, and they could only conduct interviews in the square and living quarters, and they could only shoot the Tianhang spacecraft from a distance.

The spacecraft company attaches great importance to publicity, and the management staff has openly given interviews to express confidence in the voyage plan.

General Manager Zang Chun came to the square to be interviewed by the media, surrounded by a large number of reporters, and expressed his confidence in the voyage plan, "We firmly believe that the plan can be successful." ”

"We're ready for anything."

"Everyone was very focused on their work and tested every part in detail, and everything worked perfectly."

"We used state-of-the-art computer technology to simulate the voyage plan."

"The main goal this time is to explore Jupiter and Europa, and the performance of the Falcon spacecraft is enough to complete the landing mission."

"At that time, we will also announce the landing screen ......"
