Chapter 94: Epilogue
The scene suddenly became very funny, but the space agency boss An Rutai had already expected Badis's behavior.
As a grass in the national team, the shame of the great powers whose ideological appraisal is comparable to that of tender tofu, Italy has long had the idea of carrying out space cooperation with China, but there has been no substantial progress.
If it can be used as a breakthrough, it is also a good choice to insert a lever in the International Space Station, which can greatly strengthen relations with Europe.
A minute after Badis finished speaking, the ESA representative of the Hip National Space Agency also spoke:
"It took more than 10 years for ISS to be built, and now it's a period of high use, with a lot of cargo and manned missions, and there's a lot of pressure on Lucia, and I think bringing in more forces can actually make the ISS much more efficient.
It is not correct for certain countries to have a lockdown and discrimination mentality, and the ISS philosophy is inclusion and sharing. β
At the Qiongzhou Launch Control Center, the person in charge of the JAXA space station, who accompanied Kei's wife, was standing next to Lin Ju at this time, and whispered:
"Lin Sang, if you are willing to sell one or two H1s to JAXA, we will fully support Xinyuan's participation in ISS."
Lin Ju: Smile.
Ignoring JAXA's unseductive demagogy, Lin Ju said in the connection:
"With the mission of human exploration in space, Xinyuan Aerospace Power also has a strong interest in the cooperation of the International Space Station, and if we need to undertake some launch tasks, we will definitely do our best to do a good job and make more contributions to the road of human space."
Montal: Don't say it, don't say it, let's break the meeting.
Less than two hours after its establishment, the joint finger was hastily disbanded, and although the rescue operation was over, the matter was not played, and NACA couldn't downplay it if he wanted to.
There are too many people who want to make a fuss about this matter, and they will not stop if they don't get the results they want, Lin Ju can afford to wait, and the ISS is already organizing an accident investigation team to start the aftermath work.
The space agency is also very clear about Lin Ju's purpose, but they don't have to participate in the ISS now.
At this time, the Huaguo space station project already has a sketch, compared with the old ISS, it is obviously more tempting to build a new one, but it is just to block Ami with the mentality of playing two poles with dates and no dates.
At 15:30 p.m., Solidarity began to slow down and prepare to enter the atmosphere.
At 16:40, the Unity landed perfectly on the runway of the Xinyuan launch site under the control of Deng Lei.
Unscathed, the six astronauts walked out of the hatch themselves, and in the photos taken by the reporters arranged in advance, each of them had a relaxed face.
There are many more media waiting for interviews at the launch center, and they have already obtained quite a lot of material from the space agency and Lin Ju first.
Director Lin's reputation has improved greatly, because the reporters were too enthusiastic to go out of the space agency's team, but they were still forced to say a lot of clichΓ©s, and the space agency boss seemed to be at ease, successfully wasting the reporters' time, and did not disclose any news.
In the temporarily vacated lounge, the six astronauts saw Lin Ju and the big guy who walked in together, as well as Captain Li.
Zhang Zhiguang and Li Sheng immediately saluted, Deng Lei slowed down and hurriedly made up, Li Sheng reported to Captain Li solemnly:
"Report to the team leader, the crew of the Unity has successfully completed the rescue mission and returned to the ground safely, please instruct!"
"You have worked hard, you have lived up to the expectations of the organization and the people, and you are all doing well."
After Li Wei returned the salute, he gave up his position to Lin Ju and the astronaut boss, and now not only the three of them, but also the rescued Soyuz crew members separated from their hugging family members and stood up.
For the real leader of the rescue operation, the Soyuz crew was extremely grateful to Lin Ju, and muttered a lot of words, and the translator's voice was suppressed.
After a good handshake, he had time to pay attention to his Unity's crew.
The big guy and Captain Li are pouring chicken soup on the three of them, no matter what, the titles of the three aerospace heroes are gone, and Hua Guo has also sent two more to the sky and the first person to walk in space, and two more will be added soon, and one is still the second time.
Lin Ju is more vulgar, and directly said that Deng Lei will receive a task bonus of 2 million yuan, and the other two will do the same as the cost of hiring as the crew of the Unity, and it took a lot of effort to let them accept it under the persuasion of the big guy.
Because the six astronauts were very tired and needed to rest, Lin Ju and his party did not stay for long, and it didn't take long to find a place to sit alone.
Lin Ju, Big Guy, and Li Wei sat in a brand-new building at the Xinyuan Launch Site, which had just been completed, and less than 1 kilometer outside the window was the No. 2 Heavy Rocket Launch Site and Recovery Site, where the Xinyuan-2 first-stage rocket used by the "Dongfang Operation" was recovered and hung there, waiting for transfer and preparation.
The white rocket can be located in the center of the window, and with the scenery of Qiongzhou, there is immediately a different sense of technology.
Big guy: "The crew of this mission was determined before the launch, as long as they come back alive, they will be awarded at least the title of space hero, and they will be awarded in the capital in a few days, and you must go when the time comes, which is very helpful to the NAPE and A100 projects." β
Li Wei: "Xinyuan Aerospace Power is now the key care object of the country, don't be afraid when you arrive in the capital, I will try my best to help you, the aerospace field is relatively special, and Xinyuan and the Space Agency can give full play to their strength." β
Lin Ju: "I understand, but I still have a problem. β
The big guy smiled: "Is it about the ISS?" β
"That's right, Xinyuan Aerospace is a commercial company after all, but there is a Wolf clause in ......"
"The Wolf Clause, it is impossible to repeal, it has nothing to do with you."
After the big guy finished speaking, Lin Ju immediately understood the meaning behind this.
"However, we actually have our own ideas for the space station program, and we have been trying to attract international partners, but to be honest, there are many variables.
However, Xinyuan Aerospace Power is a 100% private company, which is actually very beneficial in some aspects, just commercial cooperation, no one can find fault, and this kind of market is not small, and the right identity is very helpful. β
The big guy has hinted as much as possible, and Lin Ju immediately understood that this is actually what those European two-five boys, who have a lot of money and want to get rid of Aramco's control, pry a little corner in the name of pure commercial cooperation, or take the opportunity of the rescue operation, which has a great chance of success.
It wasn't until the evening that many people around the world knew that such a thrilling space rescue operation had taken place today.
While worrying about aerospace, Xinyuan Aerospace Power is also known for its private space company that single-handedly rescued three astronauts from three countries, and it is very politically correct.
The Lucia Duma began to discuss the suspicion of malfeasance on the part of the head of the Lucia Space Agency, Yuri, and the director of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Solovsky, asking why there was no emergency plan.
Aramco, NACA Director Claire spearheaded the call for the "restoration of the Space Shuttle" again, and won widespread public support, and Congress is having a headache.
Similarly, there are calls from ISS member states to open space missions to Xinyuan, which is also quite tricky.
Ma Yilong said that SpecaX is carrying out "RHSTS (Rapid Personnel Space Transportation System)" research and will continue to pay attention to the safety of manned space launches.
