Chapter 389: How could you give up

"With this plan, our space-based weapons believe that they will soon be able to officially have the ability to strike at ground targets, and I would like to express my gratitude to you, Academician Xu, on behalf of the military and the people."

Lei Ming didn't know when he had already stood up from his seat, and immediately leaned down after saying these two words in a deep voice.

The whole process was very decisive and there was no mud or water.

It is enough to prove that it comes from the heart.

Seeing this, Xu Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chief Lei, you are tormenting me." ”

"I'm just doing my duty as a researcher."

At this time, Zhou Mingwei, who was sitting next to him, also took the opportunity to answer: "Xu Yuan's words are very right. Affirmed Xu Yun.

As soon as the words of the front foot fell, he continued: "Chief Lei, our two sides just have different division of labor, so don't be too polite with us." ”

Listening to all these words, Lei Ming straightened up and was a little embarrassed on his face.

"Aren't I happy?"

"It's really nice to see such a design plan today." Not to be outdone, Zhang Feng echoed the sentence.

It is precisely as a professional that he is more aware of the subtlety and sophistication of Xu Yun's design scheme.

In many of these places, he has benefited greatly from the use of technology.

There was a sense of suddenness.

That alone is not in vain today.

As for the other academicians and researchers present, their attention is still focused on the screen scheme at the moment, and it can be seen that they have also learned a lot.

And now that the design of the space-based weapon orbital platform has been determined, the next step is the specific manufacturing.

Lei Ming had long hoped to have a hole card like a space-based weapon, and he must have paid more attention to this at this time, so he took the initiative to ask Xu Yun, the designer of the Shenwei system, without too much hesitation.

"That Academician Xu, is this system troublesome?"

"Not really."

"The strength of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is enough to be competent." Xu Yun kept a smile on his face and quickly answered Lei Ming's question.

so that they can be reassured.

The most important component of the entire Shenwei system is nothing more than an orbital platform, but in essence, the technology contained in this platform is not much different from the currently produced spacecraft.

Therefore, with the strength of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, it is fully capable of manufacturing.

At that time, the launch of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle will be able to transport the orbital platform to the predetermined orbit.

And at the level of the Long March 10, it can even carry multiple orbital platforms at one time.

With such an initial deployment of twelve orbital platforms in place, it will not take too long.

As long as the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle satisfies the supply.

"We will assign manpower to be responsible for the Shenwei system engineering, and it will definitely not affect part of the progress." As a veteran of the department, Zhou Mingwei also immediately made a statement at this time.

The Shenwei system will not be delayed because the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is currently responsible for the construction of the lunar base, but will specially dispatch personnel to form a project team to carry out the two simultaneously, anyway, the manufacturing of the core module of the lunar base that is needed next is about to enter the advanced stage.

It doesn't make a difference.

And after Zhou Mingwei's affirmative answer, Lei Ming was also immediately relieved.

To be honest, in his heart right now, the importance of the Shenwei system has surpassed that of the moon base.

In order to ensure that this shield of great power can be used as soon as possible, it must not be affected by other projects.

It's just that Xu Yun is also in charge of the moon base, so I'm embarrassed to say it.

Now with Zhou Mingwei's assurance, the Shenwei system will be carried out simultaneously with the lunar base, and his worry will no longer exist.

That's it.

The matter about the Shenwei system has been preliminarily decided, and this meeting can be regarded as coming to an end.

Everyone present had a lot to gain.

Just as Xu Yun was about to announce the end of the meeting, Zhang Feng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Academician Xu, I want to take over the project of Shenwei System and take charge of it personally."

"I don't know ......"

Zhang Feng didn't finish this sentence, and stopped halfway through the last sentence to show his purpose from the side.

When Xu Yun heard this, he didn't know Zhang Feng's thoughts, but he wanted to better improve himself through contact with the orbital platform.

After all, there are indeed a lot of new things in the orbital platform he designed.

Considering that Zhou Mingwei is mainly responsible for the core module of the lunar base at present, and he is in charge of the overall situation, it is nothing to transfer Zhang Feng out to be in charge of the Shenwei system.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun didn't think too much about it, and immediately settled the matter.

"Then I'll leave it to you to be in charge of the Shenwei system."

"Great, I promise to complete the task successfully." received an affirmative answer, Zhang Feng blurted out excitedly.

At this point, with the official announcement of the end of the meeting, the Shenwei system has become a sure thing.

Lei Ming seemed to want to report on the Shenwei system as soon as possible, so he didn't stay too long in the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, after all, with Xu Yun in charge, no matter who was in charge of Shenwei, there would be no problem.

They just need to be patient.

It is believed that after the deployment of the Shenwei system is completed, the global situation will also undergo some subtle changes.

……

……

It's been a few months since the design of the Shenwei system was released, and the world has been relatively quiet during this time.

There was no more news in between.

It can be seen that the emergence of Shenwei has caused many people to have a sense of crisis, and they are eager to develop their own space-based weapons, so as to have the ability to be immune to the deterrence of space-based weapons.

Naturally, he couldn't hide these situations from Xu Yun's eyes, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

The Shenwei system is a space-based weapon designed by him, and in addition to the powerful drilling device, it also needs the cooperation of the orbital platform to give full play to its full advantages.

With the current level of technology overseas, it is impossible to develop a similar drilling device in a short period of time, let alone have the ability to strike.

So don't worry too much about it.

During this time, under the command of Zhang Feng, the construction of the orbital platform was very smooth.

If there is any problem that you don't understand during the period, you will also ask Xu Yun for advice as soon as possible to avoid delaying the manufacturing progress.

It can be said that his strength has also improved a lot in the past few months.

It turned out that he had taken the initiative to ask Ying to be in charge of the manufacture of the Shenwei system, which was a very correct choice.

In private, I don't know how many academicians and researchers envy me.

At the current pace, it is hoped that the first rocket will be launched with three orbital platforms in space a year ago.

The other is the research and development of the core module of the lunar base, and the corresponding work has basically been prepared so far, and it can be officially transported to the moon and then accurately landed in the lava tube cave.

It took months of hard work by four lunar rovers to clean up the inside and outside of the lava tube cave.

To this end, Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei also formulated a detailed flight plan to ensure that the core module can land smoothly.

The previous processes can only be described as preparations for the construction of a lunar base.

In this way, after all the preparations were in place, the components and core module of the newly released Long March 10 manned launch vehicle were also transported to the Changhai launch center for lifting.

Since this is not the first time that these processes have been done, they have been carried out very smoothly.

Just waiting for the day of the official launch.

"We don't have an alternative this time, and if it fails, the progress of the lunar base will be delayed for at least half a year."

On November 2, 2027, at the Changhai Launch Center, Zhou Mingwei frowned slightly in the control and command hall.

In the past, when carrying out launch missions, according to the old tradition, they would prepare alternative alternatives, as long as there was an unexpected situation that caused the launch failure, the alternative rocket would be immediately arranged, so as to avoid the mission failure affecting the follow-up planning.

However, because the Long March 10 is a new generation of rockets, and the previous launches were too frequent, only one rocket was produced this time after working overtime.

The same is true for the core module of the lunar base.

In other words, they only have one chance, and they must make sure that the core module lands accurately in the lava tube cavern.

Otherwise, the core module will have to be rebuilt, delaying time.

Compared with Zhou Mingwei's worries, Xu Yun still maintained a calm complexion.

After hearing this, he replied, "Don't worry, you have to have faith in us." ”

Under the pressure of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, in order to carry out the deployment of the Shenwei system, many core scientific research personnel have been dispatched to set up a special R&D team to be responsible, and it is normal for resources to be insufficient in some places.

However, since the start of the lunar base project, several difficult missions have finally been successfully completed.

So there is a source of his faith.

"I'm much more relieved to have you say this." When Zhou Mingwei heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

Soon, they saw their old acquaintance, Zhao Hongyu, the commander-in-chief of the launch center, also walking over.

"Commander Xu, the inspection process of the rocket has ended, and the rocket meets the launch standards."

"There's still an hour or so before launch."

"Thank you Commander Zhao." Xu Yun was immediately relieved after hearing this information.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about the progress of things to this point, just wait patiently for the launch time to come.

During this period, Zhao Hongyu took the initiative to talk to Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei, and also mentioned Zhang Feng by the way.

"Why didn't you see Academician Zhang this time?"

"That's right, Zhang Yuan is currently in charge of the group's new project, so he did not participate in this launch mission."

Xu Yun answered Zhao Hongyu's question directly, but did not give a detailed account of the new project that Zhang Feng was responsible for, after all, there are some places that need to be kept secret for the time being when it comes to the Shenwei system.

Zhao Hongyu, as a conductor, is also a senior old man, and when he heard Xu Yun's words, he realized something to some extent, so he naturally wouldn't break the casserole and ask in the end.

And as time passed minute by minute, while the people in the control and command hall were waiting for the scheduled launch time to arrive, the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer was also lively again after several months, and the number of online users was rising compared to the usual less than 10 million.

Judging from the growth trend, even if it can't break the last record, there is a chance to reach hundreds of millions of people.

Since the last official announcement of the complete success of the space-based weapon experiment on the ground target, there have been rumors on the Internet that the lunar base is only used as a cover for space-based weapon experiments.

From the beginning, it was for the purpose of experimenting with space-based weapons, and there was no intention of building a lunar base at all.

Because the determination of the lunar base project was already hasty, and much ahead of the original plan, it is not impossible to substitute this kind of rhetoric.

As a result, many people have lost interest in the lunar base project, thinking that there will be no next stage.

In addition, in the past few months, all you can see is that the lunar rover is cleaning the pipe hole, and there are naturally fewer and fewer people who are willing to continue to stay in the live broadcast room.

However, it is in this situation that the Space Office officially announced that it will launch the Long March 10 manned rocket to complete the deployment of the core module of the lunar base.

After this news spread quickly on the Internet, netizens were also quite dumbfounded and had an unexpected surprise.

It turned out that everyone misunderstood the trouble for a long time.

Although the experiment of space-based weapons has been successfully completed, the construction of the lunar base will definitely not stop.

Knowing this, the emotions of countless viewers were once again mobilized, and they poured into the live broadcast room to watch the process, and at the same time, the number of barrages skyrocketed, causing heated discussions.

"Who said that the moon base could not be built before, just ask if it hurts if your face is beaten now, if it is really just a pretense for today's new launch mission."

"Thankfully, I didn't believe it."

"We've already paid so much for the moon landing, and when you think about it, you know it's impossible to give up."

"You can always trust Academician Xu!"

"Great."

"It's a pity that we can't see our space-based weapons for the time being, and it must be handsome to make overseas so jealous."

"It looks like I'm going to disappoint overseas again this time."

"It's really exciting, I can't wait for the day when the Chinese people land on the moon."

……

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and as the scheduled launch time arrived and the weather met the requirements, Xu Yun no longer had any hesitation and decisively issued the rocket launch order.

"Let's ignite it."

When the countdown of the last ten seconds is over, through the large screen in front of the control command hall, you can clearly see a huge fire snake spraying out from the tail of the rocket in an instant, pushing the huge rocket to fly quickly into the sky, like a straight sword straight into the sky.

During the period when the rocket is ignited and lifted off, the probability of accidents is often relatively high.

Zhou Mingwei's eyes were also staring at the screen, and he was a little apprehensive.

For fear that the rocket will have problems during the flight.

Of course, his worries were obviously unnecessary, because after more than a hundred seconds, the hall heard the sound of the fairing successfully detached.

This indicates that soon the core module of the lunar base will separate from the rocket and enter a predetermined orbit around the moon.

At this point, the risk is much smaller.

"I can finally get a solid night's sleep tonight, every day like this, even if it is any day, my heart will not be able to stand it first." At this time, Zhou Mingwei moved his body and smiled and talked to Xu Yun beside him.

The whole person looked very relaxed, and the appearance of worrying just now was simply like two people.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yun couldn't help but joke: "At the moment, the core cabin hasn't landed yet, so Zhou Yuan isn't worried at all?" ”

However, this time Zhou Mingwei was not fooled, and when he heard Xu Yun's words, he smiled directly and said: "With you, the Dinghai Divine Needle, what else do I have to be afraid of, and besides, accurate landing is what we are best at." ”

Zhou Mingwei is not wrong in this sentence, with the coverage of the quantum communication network between the earth and the moon, whether it is the docking of the spacecraft or the precise drilling of the drilling device, there is no problem.

And Zhou Mingwei didn't just talk about it, and then really left the command and control hall.

Choose to go back to your home and get some rest.

Xu Yun naturally didn't stop this, after all, Zhou Mingwei's age was there, and he must not be comparable to a young man in his thirties.

Besides, it will take some time before the core module officially lands.

The inside and outside of the lava tube cave have been cleared by the lunar rover and become very flat, and the four lunar rovers are parked at four positions at the entrance of the cave to assist the core module for positioning, and with so much technical support, it is really impossible to imagine the possibility of landing failure.

Of course, that's exactly what happened.

A few days later, with the core module successfully reaching the predetermined position, under the guidance of the control and command hall, the core module finally landed at the bottom of the lava pipe cave very smoothly.

So far, the first lunar base of human civilization has finally taken shape.

The next step is to continue the construction with the core module as the center, and process the lunar soil as the external material of the base, and it will not be long before the base is officially operational.

Provide a living environment for astronauts on the moon and conduct scientific research experiments at the same time.

Meanwhile.

The state media also reported the good news for the first time.

After the complete success of the space-based weapon strike experiment against ground targets, the Chinese people have completed the initial construction of the lunar base, and it can be said that the speed of technological development is thriving in various fields.

There is a strong sense of pride in the hearts of the people, and they are excited and excited about these scientific research results.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, when domestic netizens were immersed in joy to celebrate the landing results of the core module of the lunar base, Oakes, who was far away in the security building, had a gloomy and terrible face.

Because his judgment was wrong again.

"How is it possible, their purpose is not to experiment with space-based weapons?"

"Why is the construction of a lunar base still underway?"

At this moment, he was sitting in his office and browsing the latest reports on the progress of the lunar base on the computer screen, and two question marks suddenly appeared in his mind, which seemed very incomprehensible.

After the space-based weapons incident, he decided that the lunar base could not be carried out any further.

At that time, as soon as their moon landing program is restarted, the eyes of the world will be focused on them again.

But now it's all in vain.

After all, there is the name of the first lunar base of mankind, who will pay attention to their moon landing plan, not to mention that the whole process of the moon landing is still in confidential quality, and it is completely incomparable with the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer.

As for Provenzano next to him, he kept silent at this time and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

for fear of attracting the wrath of the head of the family.

And in this case, Oakes also understands that they have completely fallen into passivity.

Only by developing its own space-based weapons as soon as possible can we change the situation.

In addition, the moon landing program should also be accelerated.

However, just as he was planning these preparations to find Nibison, the Chinese side once again released shocking news, officially announcing that it would complete the construction of the lunar base by the end of next year at the latest, and send astronauts to the lunar base to carry out scientific experiments.
