The transfer orbit between Blue Star and Mars is 500 million kilometers long, and the difficulty of landing on Mars and landing on the Moon is not at all on the same level. Therefore, relatively good external conditions are very important for the launch plan.

The window for Mars exploration is about 26 months. Every 26 months, Mars and Earth come into close contact, and the two are closest to each other.

Of course, it will actually be launched months in advance, and then it will fly while waiting for Mars to catch up......

The last Mars window was in March 2029, when Hawke Island, United States, Dongguo and other countries launched a large number of probes, but most of them were fire probes and did not land on Mars.

The next Mars window is May 2031, and all countries are waiting for this opportunity, this time, it is an unprecedented peak of Mars exploration, with 102 countries around the world participating, of course, most of them are paying for the fun.

There are always only a few ...... that really have the ability to detect.

Moreover, most of them are just fire detectors and unmanned landings.

After all, so far, there are only 3 countries that have independently landed on the moon, plus a Xizhou Space Agency, and only 6 countries that have independently landed on Blue Medisa, plus a Xizhou Space Agency.

In just 26 windows, the difficult task of manned landing on Mars is something that ordinary countries would not dare to try.

At present, there are plans, only Hawk Island and Mi Guo, of course, they all have their own supporters behind them.

As the hegemon of the times, the United States has obtained a budget of hundreds of billions of dollars from its supporters, and countless world-class enterprises have worked together.

Clearly, they are determined to be the first to land on Mars.

They plan to send 5 people to Mars, including a black man, a woman, a transgender person, and a same-sex enthusiast.

At the same time, they also plan to launch more than 20 fire-rover and 12 rovers, apparently wanting to fully explore Mars.

This is probably the legendary "all-out" rice country.

Indeed, since the return of the United States to the moon, they have received a huge amount of money, and they have really made rapid progress, and their lunar base has been preliminarily built.

However, compared with the lunar base on Hawk Island, it is far from the same in terms of scale and technological content.

I am afraid of comparisons in everything, especially the moon "Gundam" on Hawk Island, which can be said to make the United States lose face, and the personnel of the lunar base in the United States will walk around when they meet the "Gundam" on Hawk Island, so as not to repeat the famous scene at the beginning......

On the other hand, Hawk Island's rapid progress in the Blue Medisa has also stunned the world.

Since the Blue is tidal locked, and the rocket launch base on Hawk Island is on the back side of the Blue Deso, it is invisible to both the naked eye and telescopes, but they have built a mining farm in front of the Blue Deono, which can be seen through the telescope......

Imagine how you feel when you look at the moon with a telescope and see that there are "people" mining on the moon.

Many astronomy enthusiasts can look at the telescope all day......

In addition, the Blue Medisa probes from several countries have successfully photographed the activities of Hawk Island on the back side of Hawk Island, and in these continuous photos, it shows that the rocket launch base of Hawk Island has been basically completed......

Hawk Island officials also announced that in the future, Hawk Island's lunar or Mars exploration will use the Blue Guardian launch base as a transit station, because the gravitational pull of Hawk Island is extremely small, it can produce greater speed with less fuel......

Not only can it greatly save the cost of space exploration, but also greatly shorten the time of probe travel!

However, the technical difficulty and details of this are also quite high, and many people doubt that Hawke Island can do it in the next Martian window, after all, this is the first time to use the Blue Medisa relay ......

So far, Hawke Island has successfully launched a number of lunar landers through the Blue Medisa transit, including unmanned landings and manned landings......

It has greatly improved the transportation efficiency between Blue Star and the Moon, and the materials that can be transported at one time can reach 3,000 tons, and up to 120 astronauts can be sent to the moon base at one time......

It can be said that the cost of transportation between the blue star and the moon has been reduced dozens of times......

Because of this, the lunar base on Hawk Island has received more Blue Star material support, which is getting larger and larger, and its functions are becoming more and more complete.

Today, the resident population of the Hawk Island Moon Base has reached 1,180 people, most of whom are researchers and skilled workers, which is now a very popular profession in Hawke Island, usually with a two-year contract and a compensation of 2.2 million pounds.

Basically, if you work for two years, you can lie flat for a lifetime.

And after returning to Blue Star, this resume is also a very plus, whether it is looking for a job or doing academics, you can get better treatment.

It's simply gilded.

However, the requirements of this job are also relatively high, without a master's degree in science and engineering, five or six years of relevant professional work experience, don't dream.

The number of lunar rovers or robots of all sizes in the base has reached as many as 52,000.

Although they do not yet possess real intelligence, they are able to complete most of the production work on the base, either autonomously or under the control of skilled workers.

For example, ilmenite mining farms and smelters have an annual output of 280,000 tons of steel and 18,000 tons of titanium, which can basically meet the construction needs of the base.

The by-products of water and helium-3 can also be obtained.

Without the protection of the atmosphere and magnetic fields, the close contact between lunar soil and ores and solar wind particles is very easy.

Because of this, lunar soil and ores are rich in helium-3.

Helium-3 is known to be extremely valuable because it can be used as the perfect fuel for controlled nuclear fusion.

The deuterium-tritium fusion reaction is not perfect because this reaction creates neutron radiation problems. If nuclear fusion is carried out with isotopes of helium-3 and hydrogen, no nuclear radiation will be produced, and more energy will be released. As long as 100 tons of helium-3 undergo nuclear fusion, it will produce enough energy for a year of human beings around the world.

So helium-3 is the perfect fuel for nuclear fusion.

With its price-performance ratio, it is fully worth shipping back to Blue Star, especially now that Hawke Island and the Western Continent IAEA's controlled nuclear fusion technology have made key breakthroughs.

As long as one day controlled nuclear fusion has commercial value, the lunar base can instantly get rid of loss-making operations and start making profits!

The self-sufficiency rate of the Hawk Island lunar base has been able to reach more than 85 percent......

Only some high-tech equipment or products with complex processes, as well as some food, need to be transported from Bluestar.

The food self-sufficiency rate of the base has actually reached more than 90%, and the large-scale hydroponic plants and small fish breeding technology have been successfully cultivated in the base, and even HKP012 potatoes and HKS027 soybeans have been successfully cultivated on the moon.

As a result, artificial beef production lines have also appeared on the moon, which can provide a large source of protein and better tasting food for the people stationed on the moon.

There is no need to raise cattle, and the lunar personnel can also eat very cheap steaks on the moon.

Of course, in order to enrich the recipes of the Moon Resident personnel, Hawk Island will still spend a lot of money to transport them a large piece of rich Blue Star ingredients every month, so that they can enjoy various delicacies of Blue Star......

Now with the Blue Medisa transfer station, the volume of a transport has reached 3,000 tons, and the cost is about 1.4 billion pounds, that is, the transportation cost of one kilogram of materials has been reduced to 466 pounds.

Of course, it is practically impossible to deliver all the food, and the cargo ship itself still weighs, so the actual transportation cost is a little higher, about 800 pounds a kilogram.

A 1000ml jumbo bottle of Coke retails for £1 and costs £800 to transport......

Is it expensive?

It still looks expensive, but compared to before, or compared to other countries, it is already very cheap, and it is not cheap.

The cost of transport, to launch a 10-ton machine to the moon, is only 8 million pounds.

The price of a piece of machinery and equipment may be worth millions of pounds in itself, so this transportation cost is completely acceptable.

Unknowingly, Hawk Island has reduced the cost of building a lunar base by several orders of magnitude.

Maybe one day, between the moon and the blue star, it is not impossible to be as cheap as air freight......

These achievements of Hawker Island are seen by the people of the world.

Now, even compared with the United States, they are more optimistic about Hawk Island, and the gap is very obvious.

In the exploration of Mars, the gap is even more obvious, and now more than 95% of the Martian life is found and named on Hawk Island.

Perhaps only Mi Guo himself is unwilling.

The year 2031 is fast approaching, and the Blue Star IMF has released the total GDP and per capita GDP of the world's major economies in 2030, and this time, the world has changed dramatically.

First of all, and most shockingly, the number one in the world has changed hands!

From the original rice country, it has become the east country!

Dongguo's GDP, after exchange rate conversion, has reached a staggering 50.66 trillion meters! And the rice country is 49.01 trillion meters!

For the first time, Dongguo has surpassed the United States, and it is also the first time since 1894 that the total economic output of any country has surpassed the United States!

This result shocked the world, because 2 years ago, the total GDP of the East Country was only 88% of the United States, and it was estimated that it would take at least 5 years for the East Kingdom to surpass the United States......

But what I didn't expect was that in just two years, it was surpassed.

The reason for this is that the hegemony of the United States has been shaken, the financial crisis has led to an economic crisis, the rice knife has depreciated sharply, and the problems that have been accumulated for a long time have been completely exploded.

The Dongguo currency has continued to appreciate relatively continuously, coupled with its own increment, the total GDP converted into rice knives has soared, and finally achieved the first surpass in 140 years!

What the Red Hair Country didn't do at the beginning, Dongguo finally did it!

Of course, the per capita GDP of the eastern country is still only about 30% of that of the United States......

The third place is still Fuso, although the ranking has not changed, but the total amount is only 11.5 trillion meters, and the gap from the original second place is getting wider and wider, only one-fifth of the eastern country, compared to one-third 10 years ago......

The shrinkage is also very severe.

As a "client state" of the United States, Fuso's economy will inevitably be greatly affected.

In fourth place, this time, it is Hawk Island, which reached 11.3 trillion meters, basically equaling Fuso.

Almost finished in the top three.

In this world, two years ago, Hawk Island was only 8th place......

In just two years, it has risen 5 places, surpassing Puguo, Nanyin, Tulip and Italy......

This is also the first time that Hawk Island has surpassed the suzerain......

Hawke's per capita GDP is still the world's No. 1, and the world's people have long been accustomed to this.

米国quora platform:

"The world pattern has completely changed, I never imagined that the United States would lose to the first place in the world so quickly, I originally thought that it would be at least after 2050."

"Dongguo, NO1, we finally made it!"

"Hehe, there are 1.4 billion people in the east and 380 million people in the United States, what is there to be proud of."

"Hawk Island fourth, as expected, I'm going to be shocked once a year, and now I'm not shocked."

"I almost surpassed our Fuso, it's terrifying, the birthplace of the fourth technological revolution really lives up to its name!"

"It is worth mentioning that the global revenue of the Blue Star Soaring platform alone reached 2.8 trillion meters in the previous year, and these money are not completely counted in the GDP of Hawk Island, so, in fact, Hawk Island's GDP may be seriously underestimated."

"It can't be counted like this, there are also many enterprises in the United States that have output value abroad, and they are also counted in the GDP of other countries."

"But the Blue Star Ascension platform is different, it is a completely monopoly industry, except for the game warehouse, there is almost no need for any facilities in other countries, and most of the profits are taken from Hawk Island......"

"Fuso retained the third place by a slight advantage, but I think this is a deliberate misstatement by them, because their GDP was actually released after the GDP statistics of Hawk Island, and everyone knows very well what is in it."

"The gap between Nanyin and Puguo has been widened, I can't imagine ......"

"GDP doesn't prove anything, if we want to be the world's number one ......"

"The Southern Union is so miserable, it has completely collapsed, with a growth rate of -12%, and the Southern Fever when the blacks began to govern is not so miserable......"

"The most embarrassing thing is the tulip country, which was surpassed by the colonies......"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, and it's not the first time...... I'm referring to the United States. ”

"At that time, the United States had been independent for more than 100 years, and it could only be regarded as a former colony, and it was still different......"

"I'm a little scared, this situation, will there be a third all-out war with Blue Star, if this fights, Blue Star is estimated to be gone......"

"It's okay, aren't we already preparing for immigration to Mars......"

"Hell Joke...... However, don't you know that Hawk Island conducted an anti-missile study a few days ago, and the missile interception success rate was 100 percent, and the missile interception system on Hawk Island can intercept almost all missiles, and they claim that no country can drop a nuclear bomb on Hawk Island......

"It seems that the country of Za in the hot continent has been invaded again, I hope this is not the beginning of the third war......"
