A large astronomical observatory in the United States.

As an astronomical observatory built in recent years for the so-called new round of space hegemony, in addition to defrauding a huge amount of money, this facility has the most sensitive radio telescope array in North America, and its accuracy can even track meteorite fragments and space junk as small as half a meter in diameter - as long as it is located in the Earth-Moon system.

It can only be said that there is still something left in the country, and in recent years, Huaguo has deliberately promoted some marginal technologies, so the country has built this observatory.

It's just that this little thing is destined to be left far behind by Huaguo, which has developed by leaps and bounds.

This astronomical observatory is nominally to find habitable planets outside the solar system, but in fact, most of the observation missions are concentrated in the orbit of the Earth and the Moon, and its purpose is needless to say.

About a few days ago, China made public its launch schedule to the international community, announcing to the world that it would carry out a shocking mass launch.

The scale of its launch has made experts wonder whether the Chinese space community has left all countries behind and entered the interstellar age on its own.

In the astronomical observatory, most of the experts in the United States are gray-haired, in fact, they are about the same age as the experts in Huaguo, but Huaguo's life extension technology and nanotechnology have made the two sides of the same age look very different.

In fact, if they are willing to apply for naturalization in China, like many colleagues in the past, they can also queue up to enjoy various high-tech medical treatment.

After all, the Chinese scientific community has not closed the door to absorbing elites from all over the world, and nearly half of the scientists who participated in the astronomical conference a few years ago chose to become naturalized in China.

But there are scientists in every country who are still willing to adhere to certain principles, such as the gray-haired old expert who is now holding coffee in front of a projection screen.

Since Hua Guoguan announced the launch plan, he and the observation team led by him have not taken a day off, and they are on call almost 24 hours a day, and they dare not relax even for an hour.

"This collective launch is a total of 166 space shuttles, with a 100% success rate."

"According to the carrying capacity of the Chinese space shuttle........ Oh, my God! Do they want to build another lunar base at the north pole of the moon at once? ”

A succession of reports was heard, and the expert listened expressionlessly. But I don't know why, there was a surging feeling of relief in his heart.

No anti-theft

Once upon a time, they were the only leaders in deep space exploration on the planet, but now that Hua Guo has changed their previous modest launch plans and revealed their true level of aviation, experts understand......... There is even a technological generation gap between them.

Those NASA officials can't even deceive themselves now, can they?

Deep space development is the future of all mankind, so wouldn't it be good to honestly join the Federation's agreement?

It has been rumored that Huaguo is going to start building a space elevator, but now let's take a look at ...... There are so many possibilities!

Just as he was thinking this, his assistant quickly walked in and reported.

"Space Shuttle Group......... Didn't go to the moon? ”

"They're headed for the second Lagrange point?"

The professor's eyes widened for a moment, and the projection screen they used showed that the huge space shuttle swarm was using the gravitational slingshot effect of the Earth to advance not towards the moon, but towards the second Lagrange point in the solar-terrestrial system.

When Lagrange studied the restricted three-body problem, he found that there are five coplanar special points in the third body moving around the two major stars, and the gravitational and centrifugal forces on the objects at these five points are basically balanced. In the solar-terrestrial system, the Sun, the Earth, and the probe constitute a restrictive three-body problem, and there are five Lagrangian points L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5.

The placement of relay satellites at these five points can consume less energy to maintain the orbit of the satellite, and the relay satellites can exist stably for a long time, thereby reducing the operating costs of the space network.

Looking at such a large-scale launch, of course, it can't be as simple as building a satellite?

Over time, they even connected space telescopes to see what was going on in space.

The shuttle swarms, which were about to reach the second Lagrange point, opened their cabins and ejected groups of standard squares.

And what surprised the institutions who were always observing the situation here appeared, the group of standard blocks was slowly approaching each other, and then actually merged at the junction!

You must know that they look like they are moving slowly, but in fact they still retain high speed and kinetic energy, and the slightest mistake can immediately cause a space accident.

They should explode immediately when they collide together, how can they be as smooth as seamless?

The standard blocks seem to be assembled by a pair of invisible hands, and all the blocks are united to form a ring that firmly occupies the second Lagrangian point!

And this process only took two hours!

In the eyes of the people of the United States, it is like a miracle!

"It can't be!"

"It's not a space station, it's a space city!

These modules are being spliced together with nanobots! ”

"Oh God! Their nanotechnology is already ready for cutting-edge medical treatment, and I should have understood that sooner or later this technology will be used in aerospace engineering! ”

The expression on the expert's face was just as shocking.

If it weren't for the limited carrying capacity of the space shuttle, and the only blocks transported this time, the experts would have no doubt that when they woke up, the space city in the history of mankind would have been completed!

Build a city overnight!

And it's also a space city, which sounds like a dream, but it's happening right in front of your eyes!

This is no longer a generational gap, this is a gap in the level of civilization!

No matter how shameful and courageous you are, you are destined to catch up with the gap......

[Is it too late to apply for naturalization now?] 】

Once again, the expert felt deep regret, if he had chosen to stay after the astronomical conference, he didn't know if he could enjoy the joy of completing this great project on the other side at this moment, instead of just staring at it now.

"My letter of resignation, help me deliver it to NASA."

Looking at the space city in front of him, the expert understood that his persistence was meaningless.

God no longer blesses the United States, and now they need the Kingdom of China to bless them, especially from space.........
