Other words.

A launch vehicle with a total length of 150 meters, a full 120 meters is a spacecraft!

This has never happened in the entire world's aerospace history!

As everyone knows.

The proportion of spacecraft in the rocket body of a launch vehicle is often much shorter than that of the propulsion module.

Thirty-four percent spacecraft is considered very high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to accelerate the rocket to the first cosmic velocity, and then break free from the gravitational constraints of the Earth and enter orbit.

But the rocket that Sucher launched this time.

But it is outrageously reversing people's common sense!

In terms of proportion, the proportion of spacecraft of the Moon-1 launch vehicle.

It was a terrifying 80%!

With only 30 meters of thrusters, such a huge rocket can be sent into space!

It's unheard of!

Not to mention those bricks, even the aerospace enthusiasts who watched the live broadcast could see how outrageous this was!

After everyone was stunned for a few seconds.

The moderator showed professionalism.

"Okay, now you can see that our spacecraft has separated the booster and the fairing......"

"The spacecraft has gone into space for a secondary ignition ......"

"Next, we will connect the external and internal testing equipment of the spacecraft for a more detailed live broadcast."

"Okay, then, please wait a minute......"

…

Far across the ocean.

In the joint conference room of the Octagon.

What was playing on the huge screen was a live video about the Great Xia Moon-by-Moon 1 large launch vehicle!

In front of the lecture desk at the bottom of the screen.

Ed, the top official of the Octagon, looked around at the audience with a gloomy face.

The audience is the elite of various departments.

"Gentlemen, you have all seen this live video on the Great Xia Network!"

"Great Xia flew a huge monster rocket for the first time, 150 meters high and 15 meters in diameter!"

"I think everyone should know the meaning behind it!"

"The technology of ICBMs is born from launch vehicles!"

"If Daxia replaces the upper stage of this rocket with a large number of hot H warheads......"

"I think this one can destroy all the cities in a state!"

"It's not an exaggeration at all!"

"Because they can do it!"

"From aircraft carriers to intelligent medical robots, and now to launch vehicles, one thing after another has forced us to pay more attention to that rabbit!"

"If we don't pay enough attention to it, come up with a targeted and feasible plan."

"In the end, it must be us who are unlucky!"

Ed finished.

There was a moment of silence.

Of course, they knew that Ed was not wrong at all.

Then.

The director of NAS slowly stood up.

"Mr. Ed, I couldn't agree more with you."

"But beyond that."

"Don't overlook another important thing, everyone!"

"Instead of associating this launch vehicle with an ICBM."

"I think they're more of a threat in space!"

"Gentlemen, look at the big screen!"

"This Daxia's latest launch vehicle adopts a two-stage design."

"Except for the 30-meter thruster that provides acceleration to the first cosmic speed, the remaining 120 meters are all spacecraft!!"

"Judging by the carrying capacity shown by this launch vehicle."

"I'm afraid that this single rocket can launch the entire International Space Station into space!"

"All of our current rockets will not have any advantage in front of this giant monster!"

"This is undoubtedly the most terrible!"

"You know, half a century before that, we were all the best!!"

The NAS administrator has just finished speaking.

The audience suddenly erupted in exclamation.

"Oh, buy it!"

"That's an exaggeration!"

"Oh my God! With only 30 meters of thrusters to be able to send a super heavy load of 120 meters into space, the propulsion system of this rocket is terrifying!! ”

"I'm more interested in what a super spacecraft with a length of 120 meters and a diameter of 15 meters is used for?"

"Leak! Isn't it possible to deploy space-based weapons!! ”

…

Sitting in a corner of the audience, Elon. Mark.

At the moment, I didn't listen too much to what those people said.

Instead, he watched the live broadcast on the big screen intently, and it seemed that he didn't want to miss a single frame.

As the planner and executor of the Starship Project.

He knows better than anyone how strong the launch vehicle shown in the live video is!

For the space industry in the world at the moment.

His starship is already beyond reach!

But this rocket, called the Moon-by-Moon Type, is even more exaggerated!!

Compare that to this.

The starship looked like an underage child.

This has to be said to be a big blow to Mark, who said that his goal was the sea of stars.

…

At this point, the NAS Director finished speaking and sat back in his seat.

And Ed on the podium.

The words of the Director of NAS were summarized.

"In view of the great threat shown by Great Xia, I have decided to apply to GH to impose relevant sanctions on Great Xia to restrict its development ......."

But not before he could finish.

I saw that in the live broadcast screen, there was a change again!

The live broadcast host, who had been away for a while, returned to the camera and switched the live broadcast screen.

"Hello everyone, now the live broadcast room has been successfully connected to the internal and external monitoring equipment of the spacecraft."

"And applied for it"

"Live streaming continues ......"

"What you see now is the large spacecraft module carried on the Yueyue-1 large launch vehicle."

"It consists of two experimental modules with a length of 50 meters and a diameter of 14.8 meters, as well as an engineering module."

"In the next phase of the space program, there will be four other experimental modules of the same size, as well as other auxiliary modules, to form our deep space gateway to explore the universe—"

…

"Heavenly Palace!"

In the conference room of Daxia Aerospace Science and Industry.

Academician Yang, who was extremely excited, was explaining to the comrades of the Aviation Academy.

The many astronauts in the audience all looked at the picture on the big screen a little blankly.

Let's be honest.

Academician Yang was just learning about this huge and magnificent space program.

also has the same expression as these astronauts in the audience.

It's even worse.

But live in the successful launch of the Moon-1 launch vehicle, and the picture of the return from space.

All of them were impressed by him!

He can now understand Director Cheng's feelings.

Director Su is really amazing!

Great Xia also had its own space station plan.

The construction of some experimental modules in the early stage has even been completed.

But compared to Sucher's plan.

It's literally one heaven and one underground!

A huge module with a single space of nearly 9,000 cubic meters, a total of six experimental cabins, plus other engineering cabins and other auxiliary modules.

It's really huge, like a space city!
