From the beginning of the Dawning Project, from 1972 to 2015, a total of 43 years, there were too many debates and too many thoughts about the moon landing, and it has not been decided.

However, after several days of expert group meetings, when the superiors were convinced that Lin Ju was not bragging about his ability to send people to the moon, they had to deal with it with unprecedented seriousness.

Even if it is surpassed by Aramco and Europe, it is nothing, but this is just a private company!

According to the production capacity estimate of Xinyuan's B-class and C-class bases, Xinyuan can achieve the moon landing around May 2018 at the earliest, so after several considerations, the superiors requested that the space agency's manned landing time on the moon be advanced to May 2018.

Nasa...... Promised.

Because in the process of discussing the manned lunar landing project, the higher authorities decided to inject 30 billion instead of 20 billion into this project.

At 31 months and $5 billion, this is the largest amount of funding for a single project in the history of the space agency, but the task is also quite tricky.

The Long March 10 is a monster with a take-off thrust of 4,890 tons and a weight of 3,600 tons, and the seven Long March 2Fs are not as heavy as it, but four times as heavy as the Long March 5.

Fortunately, in addition to the maturity of the engine and arrow body technology, the development of a new generation of manned spacecraft test ships will also come to an end, and the lander and spacesuit are all minor problems.

Immediately after the brief demonstration meeting, the superiors convened an executive meeting to discuss the manned landing on the moon.

At the beginning, the Standing Committee raised many questions, including economy, safety, necessity and other aspects, but the superiors overwhelmed all opinions with only one sentence:

Xinyuan has the ability to achieve a manned landing on the moon in 2018, and they are fully funded and are in the process of implementation.

If Lin Ju is allowed to take the lead in landing on the moon successfully, the impact caused by them is unimaginable, all factors are set aside under this article, and they agree to carry out the lunar program in advance, but it is an uncompromising prerequisite to land on the moon before the new far away.

……

September 21, 2015, exactly 23 years have passed since September 21, 1992.

In that year, China's manned space program was approved for implementation.

On the same day, 23 years later, the Space Development Commission held a press conference to inform the media in advance, and then the space agency spokesman stood up and read out the draft with a blank face:

"The theme of today's press conference is: An important explanation on China's immediate implementation of the manned lunar landing project and supporting rocket and spacecraft programs.

Based on China's national strength and the mission requirements of the great rejuvenation, starting from the current situation of the development of the domestic aerospace industry, the government has adopted a plan to immediately carry out the manned lunar exploration project and the construction of a lunar surface scientific research station, codenamed Project 2921, the total lunar project plan name: Dawning Program, which is implemented by the Long March 10 giant carrier rocket under development after being demonstrated by the Space Development Commission. ”

In the audience, reporters from all over the world were stunned for a moment after listening to this, and then immediately boiled.

Resident contact person of Xinyuan Company, who sat in the first row and did not receive any news in advance: ???

The spokesman looked at the noisy group of reporters and signaled to be quiet, and then the first reporter to smoke the CCAV directly got up.

"Hello, why did my country suddenly implement a manned lunar landing project? According to the previous timetable, the original time was changed to 10 years later. ”

Spokesperson: "What you said is already at the turn of the century, due to the rapid development of China's economy, science and technology, based on the actual situation to make a judgment on the implementation of the moon landing program; That's perfectly reasonable, deliberate, next. ”

The ABC reporter stood up suddenly, still a blonde woman, with an exaggerated expression on her face:

"Mr. Spokesperson, NACA's Artemis program is also to send humans to the moon in five years, is China going to restart the space race and pull the world into the Cold War?"

Spokesperson: "We have no intention of competing with anyone, the manned lunar landing program has not been interfered with by any political factors, it is purely for the purpose of scientific exploration, the Cold War has long since ceased to exist, next." ”

Island reporter: "So, Mr. Spokesman, when will your country's space agency's moon landing program be implemented?" Is there a specific plan that I can refer to? ”

The spokesman looked down at the manuscript, quickly exchanged glances with the side, and then said firmly:

"According to the planned schedule, our country will send no less than two astronauts to the surface of the moon and return safely by 2019."

Reporter:!!

Xinyuan Liaison: !!

The latter's shock was no less than that of reporters, because such a big matter was directly approved without discussion by the Aviation Development Commission?

And it's not called the Space Race, NACA says 2020, Space Agency CASA you say 2019?

Not only the liaisons, but also the reporters thought the same, and they were enthusiastic for a while, constantly raising their hands to ask questions.

……

NACA, a young man outside the gate held his mobile phone alof, cheering all the way and running wildly, and the guards did not stop after seeing that it was the assistant of NACA Director Claire.

This assistant who doesn't know if he won the million-dollar jackpot or married Kardashian went crazy, making the otherwise orderly NACA interior noisy and all the way into Claire's office.

At this time, Claire was discussing with the head of the ISS, Montal, how to use Ma Yilong's Dragon spacecraft to carry out manned missions, and then she heard the noise outside, and suddenly felt a little bad.

Then his door was slammed open with a shoulder, and Claire, who was startled, found that her assistant didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, and came in with her mobile phone in a disheveled and hurry:

"Mr. Director, Mr. Director, take a look, take a look!"

"See how you got high and brought the illusion into NACA? It's a space agency, not a house party! Peel, I'm ......"

Before Claire could finish her anger, she was interrupted by a remark from Peel:

"Huaguo announced that they are going to the moon, the moon in 2019!"

At the mention of "moon landing", Claire's originally angry brain seemed to have been pressed by something, and her face visibly changed, snatching the assistant's mobile phone.

Above is a video of the BBC reporter just sending it back to the agency, and the editor-in-chief sent it to NACA before dealing with it, and the spokesperson in the picture is talking eloquently:

"The 2921 project aims to bring China's aerospace industry one step closer, and it is also a test of the development of aerospace in the past 23 years, and the Space Development Committee will lead all parties, with the space agency as the main force, to send humans to the moon before 2019 ......"

After reading it, Claire crossed over and watched it again, still in disbelief:

"How could those conservative guys suddenly be so aggressive, is there an alien spaceship on the moon? Or is it April Fool's Day! ”

At this time, Montal, who was also shocked, skillfully opened the website of Huaguo Government Affairs, and then handed over the mobile phone with an incredulous face.

An official document appeared on the front page, and after the translation it was a manned landing on the moon.

The red-headed document was officially issued, and there was no fraud.

Claire was stunned for a while, her anger and incomprehension gradually subsided, and an irrepressible joy surged up from the bottom of her heart.

The staff outside the office suddenly heard even louder laughter after a moment of silence in the bureau, accompanied by the sound of desks and chairs falling to the ground and kicking the door, and they poked their heads out to check.

Then the NACA staff saw an amazing scene:

Director Claire trembled, shouting "Praise God" and "Praise the Chinese", and at the same time jumped high, tore his shirt and waved rags, and finally slipped and fell to his knees and knocked down the black aunt who was mopping the floor, and slammed into the latter's buttocks, which were as wide as a tire.

Finally, Claire, who finally finished venting her emotions, shouted:

"Back to the moon, we're going back to the moon!"
