Chapter Ninety-Six: The Construction of the Moon Base
One week!
In just a week, Daxia can carry out a manned landing on the moon!
After learning the news.
The conference hall of the Octagon suddenly became in an uproar!
"A week after the Great Xia, you can land a man on the moon!??"
"And what about our return to the moon!? Wouldn't it be surpassed by Great Xia!?? ”
"Oh God! How can they be so fast!! ”
"Could it be that we just watched Daxia snatch what should have belonged to us!?"
"But we have already landed on the moon in the last century! They can't snatch it if they want to! ”
"The meaning is different, and now we have to prove that even after more than half a century, we are still the most technologically powerful country on the Blue Star!!"
In the seats in the front row of the venue, the deputy commander, the director GF and others were mourning one by one.
They originally thought that no matter how fast Great Xia's lunar exploration program was, it would not be possible to complete it within a month.
Especially the manned moon landing that is the most significant for the moon landing.
At a normal rate, it would take months, if not longer, for Great Xia to establish a base on the moon.
But now the news released by Daxia is beyond everyone's expectations!
Slap them hard in the face of the assessment department!
"Impossible! When pigs fly!! ”
"How can you build a moon base in a week!?"
"Did they launch all the migrant workers of Great Xia to the moon!?"
"They must be lying!!"
Deputy Commander Amelica shouted in disbelief.
Many others also felt that it was impossible for Great Xia to establish a solid base on the moon in such a short period of time.
Unless the base mentioned by Great Xia is not the same concept as the base they think it is.
The Moon is a microgravity environment, and it is simply impossible to work as efficiently as on a blue star!
And construction is inseparable from a variety of building materials.
It is impossible for a Bactrian spacecraft to go to the moon with a large amount of building materials.
Then you can only take materials on the surface of the moon!
The moon is rich in various mineral resources, and it is true that the resources of the moon itself can be used for infrastructure construction.
But in this way, the construction progress was greatly delayed.
It's impossible to do it in a week's time!
And there is another important reason that limits the construction schedule.
The equipment carried on the spacecraft needs to be supplied with sufficient energy!
At present, extraterrestrial spacecraft use only a few kinds of energy.
The first, chemical fuels.
This energy source is the most convenient and at the same time the most efficient.
However, the rocket has a limited payload, and most of the fuel is used to propel the spacecraft itself.
So there is no excess fuel for the construction of the base.
The second, solar energy.
Most of today's spacecraft, if not solar-based, will have solar-assisted power systems.
To this day, solar energy remains the most accessible source of energy in outer space in the solar system.
It's just that the conversion efficiency of solar energy is too low.
And it cannot support the long-term use of high-power equipment.
If you want to carry out large-scale construction on the moon, large-scale machinery and equipment must be indispensable.
But if the energy supply method for these devices is solar panels.
It's hard to drive.
The third is nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is indeed an excellent solution to this problem.
But there is a premise.
That is to be able to master controlled nuclear fusion!
Otherwise, it will not be able to be used on large machinery and equipment.
In the case of a nuclear fission device, it is too large to be launched on the moon.
At present, there is only one method that can be used, isotope batteries.
But isotope batteries are okay to drive some probes and lunar rovers.
You have to count on it to drive heavy machinery like excavators, transport trucks, etc., or it's too much worse.
These problems lie in front of every space power.
What Amelica couldn't solve, they didn't believe that Daxia could solve it!
According to the assessment of NAS.
At present, the best way to establish a base on the moon is through space launches one after another.
The safest way is to use a heavy launch vehicle to launch the module module of the base directly to the moon.
Same doubts.
Also haunts SPX's Mark.
He is the embodiment of Amelica's plan to return to the moon.
No one understands the difficulties better than he does.
Not so long ago.
He has just made the mission of launching a starship to complete a manned landing on the moon within a month.
But now we have the news that Daxia will carry out a manned landing on the moon in a week.
Hit him hard!
"Fack!"
"It's only a week!!"
Mark's face contorted, his fists clenched.
A week's time.
How can he complete his plan to return to the moon before Great Xia!?
Even if the SPX crew works overtime every day, it is impossible to complete the starship in a week!
It's hard to do it.
You can only launch with the immature Starship beta!?
Fortunately, in his factory, there are a lot of backup of the starship hull, and there are also a lot of rocket propulsion modules.
Not to mention the abundance of Raptor engines.
If you only use what you have, then optimize it in terms of the system and the internal software.
It's not that it's impossible to launch the starship before Great Xia.
But then you would have to take a lot of risk!
If you don't get it right, you could bring great disaster to SPX!
After weighing it for a long time.
Mark just made a decision.
It's up to Amelica's top brass to say.
If they have to go to the moon before Great Xia, then take a gamble!
If they also have deep concerns.
Then wait until the complete body of the starship is developed, and then carry out the return to the moon program.
But he thinks that with the character of those old men, he will definitely choose the first option!
It's just that it's not just those old men, why doesn't he think so in Mark's heart!?
And he thinks even further.
If Daxia and Amelica compete, once on the inferior side.
Then they have been building up the hegemony of sword music for nearly a century.
It could be gone!
Neither the people in power in Amelica, nor businessmen like them, want to see such an outcome!
And with the great summer achievements in various fields.
Their disadvantages will continue to be magnified little by little.
But Great Xia will get stronger and stronger, and one day it will surpass them!
…
Inside the conference hall of the Octagon.
After much deliberation, Amelica's lieutenant commander made a decision.
He said to Director GF Ed next to him with a somewhat hideous face: "We are in that industrial park in Great Xia, don't we still have a lot of manpower!?" ”
"Tell them they can start doing something!"
Ed was shocked and knew what the deputy commander was trying to do!
He wants to sabotage Daxia's space launch mission!!
"Sir, it's not easy for us to install manpower, if we use it this time."
"Then it will be even more difficult to insert it in the future......
Ed said with some concern.
The deputy commander's eyes were red, and he snorted coldly: "Isn't it just for the purpose of inserting them in!" Now is the time to use them! ”
Ed pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll arrange it!" ”
Wait until he arranges the manpower.
The Deputy Commander is back in front of the screen that connects with Mark.
He stared at Mark, and said with a hideous face: "Mark! I don't care what method you use! Be sure to launch our starship before the Great Xia Lunar Exploration!! ”
"No problem, sir." Mark nodded, he was already ready.
……
Great Xia.
The outskirts of Jinghai City, a super industrial park.
On the campus of Jinghai University, students are holding books in twos and threes, and they can be seen discussing problems and learning everywhere, and the academic atmosphere is extremely strong.
In front of the building of the Academy of Astronautics.
Xu Linlin came back with the students who had just exchanged from the Aerospace Industrial Park.
"Disband!"
With a slogan, the students departed.
Wait until the students are gone.
Xu Linlin's face became a little solemn.
She has already received intelligence messages from across the ocean.
Get them ready to act in the near future!
As for the reason, although it was not said in the intelligence, she guessed it.
As a teacher at the School of Astronautics of Jinghai University, she was fortunate to watch the launch of the Daxia moon landing rocket from a relatively close distance.
At the same time, she also saw the news circulating on the Internet.
Great Xia will have a manned moon landing in a week!
After getting the news.
The top must be unable to sit still!
That's when I thought of letting these undercover agents who were inserted to carry out sabotage operations!
"Hey......"
"After this mission, I don't know if I can be safe and sound......"
Xu Linlin sighed in a low voice.
The last time she watched a rocket launch, she had already seen the plant's security forces.
Under the protection of such tight security, if they want to succeed in their operation.
It is absolutely impossible to complete it without paying a certain price!
However, she was not unprepared.
When she learned that the above asked them to act, she had already thought about several cases.
And one of the courses of action has a high success rate, and there is also a good chance of escape.
Poisoning on a large scale is bound to cause great confusion.
In the midst of the chaos, there is a chance to escape from here.
Come to think of this.
Xu Linlin's eyes flashed, and she began to prepare.
If you poison it, you have to be poisoned first.
With the level of secrecy and tight security in this factory, it is very difficult to get a highly toxic substance from the outside.
But that didn't bother her.
After such a long period of careful planning, she is very familiar with Jinghai University.
Even the various units in the industrial park are familiar.
Especially in the Aerospace Industrial Park, she can almost be regarded as half of the Aerospace Industrial Park.
In the chemical engineering department and the college of chemistry related majors of Jinghai University.
She also has good connections.
In this way, there is no need to get highly toxic things outside, but inside the industrial park.
All that's left to do is wait for the opportunity!
……
Nowadays, many Daxia people like to do the most every day.
is to go to the live broadcast room of Daxia Aerospace to see the construction progress of Daxia Lunar Base.
Although the specific details of the construction will not be released for reasons of secrecy.
But every day, some general videos and photos of the progress of the construction are released.
Words for the average person.
Seeing the moon base of Great Xia changing every day is actually enough.
Even many military fans of Great Xia don't want the official Great Xia to release such a confidential picture.
I am worried that the West will uncover some valuable secrets through the analysis of these pictures.
Therefore, many military fans of the older generation are sighing that the current generation of military fans is the happiest.
In their time, these were unimaginable!
In various military and scientific and technological magazines, almost all of them are foreign military equipment and scientific and technological achievements!
One can imagine how depressed and aggrieved the Great Xia military fans were in that era.
…
The magic capital, in an office building.
At the beginning, the self-media that evaluated intelligent medical surgical robots was up Yang Chen.
Still in the office at the moment liver video.
Through the live broadcast of intelligent medical surgical robots some time ago, coupled with public welfare surgical activities.
His fame in Daxia is growing, and his fans are growing.
In particular, the public welfare activities of free surgery for the poor have accumulated a lot of reputation.
It was also when he was doing public welfare activities that he realized a lot.
This spirit has always propelled him forward, and he has not passed this profitable idea at all.
It's ok for a short time.
They have to invest a lot of energy and money in running for a long time.
to maintain the normal operation of public welfare activities.
Just pointing to the income of self-media is no longer enough to support expenses.
After all, what they are doing requires a lot of manpower.
There is a good saying.
Public welfare without income will not last long.
Only by forming a virtuous circle can we do public welfare better and longer.
Now Yang Chen has a deep understanding of this sentence.
"Xiao Yang, take a rest and work again tomorrow!"
A kind-eyed middle-aged woman walked into the office and persuaded her.
"Aunt Cheng, I'm not tired, it's okay!"
Yang Chen saw the middle-aged woman who came in, smiled and said.
Aunt Cheng, a middle-aged woman, came to work in his small company during that public welfare activity.
Mainly responsible for cleaning, cooking, etc.
When doing public welfare activities, I will also help to do all kinds of things that I can.
Speaking of which, Aunt Cheng is also a shareholder of the company.
Because one of the intelligent medical robots they are doing public welfare is provided by her.
However, she is not as wealthy as several other shareholders who provide intelligent medical surgical robots.
The intelligent medical surgical robot was drawn by lottery in the live broadcast room of Su Che's boss.
After being cured of the disease through the intelligent medical surgical robot, he came to work in Yang Chen's company with the idea of giving back to the society.
"Aunt Cheng, this month's salary may have to wait before it can be paid......"
"But it should get better soon, I recently received a few business orders to do video promotion ......"
Yang Chen thought about it, and still told Aunt Cheng the news.
Now the company's operations are stuck in the problem of broken capital chains, if you don't want to find a way out.
It may be difficult to carry out public welfare activities in the future.
