On January 6, a Xinyuan-2B rocket was launched from the Qiongzhou launch site, sending six Explorer II to the moon again.

Six Explorer II are expected to land at three sites around the Qom crater on the 9th and 11th, and will explore more about the extent and depth of the ice.

Because of the hasty launch, this batch of explorers did not have time to update the detection equipment, and the repetition was a bit strong, but the problem was not big.

For this launch, the world's aerospace community has broken its defenses to the point of numbness.

Mass production of the lunar probe like a car, and before the discovery of the ice in the Qom crater, everyone was shocked, but more of them felt that it was too stupid, and it was possible to do it but it was meaningless.

But that's no longer the case, and one more detector means more plots of land, speeding up development.

Fortunately, NACA's next nuclear-powered lunar rover Isis will be launched in March, although there is only one, but the weight is said to increase to 1.8 tons, which is the heaviest and most powerful rover on the lunar surface, and it is said that the speed of travel has increased to 300 meters per hour after changing the destination from Mars to the moon, which is enough for rapid exploration.

And NACA has semi-openly tendered for more lunar rovers, and they don't lack lunar surface exploration capabilities, both rockets and probes.

ESA is difficult to say, the Veneto rocket is still in the basic configuration design, the Ariane series of rockets is too expensive, and there is no available lunar surface rover, there is research in this area is the band, they were originally doing the Mars rover program, and now it has been transferred to the lunar rover.

In order to have the least value on the earth, only one of the 250,000 parts of the earth's water, space agencies of various countries are working hard, which is the appreciation of resources brought about by the distance of 380,000 kilometers.

However, for Lin Ju and the high-level leaders of the base, this day was not very wonderful.

On the 6th, the Aviation Development Commission invited him and a number of senior executives of the base to the capital for a meeting, which was said to be very important, involving changes in the development plan of the subsequent extraterrestrial colonies of the Aviation Development Commission, and it was necessary to collect as many opinions as possible.

To this end, the Aviation Development Commission actually borrowed an A320 and a 737 from China Eastern Airlines to pick up people at the base, and all six systems that happened to be discussing the exploration plan of the Zero Plains were exhausted, and the helmsman and five highest-level technical vice presidents were sent to Beijing on six flights.

A few people who were a little gloomy because of the Zero Plains thought that something really big had happened, and the whole process was serious, so they got into the convoy and went to a high-end guest house.

Wait, this guest house is not right!

As soon as Lin Ju came out, he found that this was not the guest house he often went to, but he was greeted by acquaintances, and it was not easy to say anything if he looked like he was doing business, so 6 people went in together.

Then the leaders of the Aviation Development Commission and the experts of the Space Agency didn't see it, but what caught their eyes was the scene of the dance, and most of them were warblers and Yanyan, and they all focused their eyes as soon as they came in.

Lin Ju's mind suddenly remembered the usual way of assigning objects within the organization in the last century: the ball.

In the last century, because the study alliance popularized ballet among ordinary people, it was also popular to organize various balls to learn dance in China.

At some point, in order to focus on finding suitable partners for young people of school age, various balls will be organized to increase the opportunities for men and women to get to know each other, and participating in various balls is a unique memory of that era.

Of course, it has evolved into team building now, but apparently Lin Ju and a few executives don't have time to go out for a walk.

"I'm here for a meeting, you ......"

Lin Ju was shocked and didn't know what to say on the spot, but the black-clothed guard who greeted him said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the meeting will be postponed to the 9th, and you don't have to go back these days, you can come to the dance party in the evening, and the exchange meeting for young talents in China is being held here."

In addition, the superior has something to tell you: young people make more friends and relax appropriately in order to better develop their careers. ”

After the guard finished speaking, he left quickly under Lin Ju's speechless gaze, and the latter could only look at the five system horses for help.

Guo Shen and the other four were still a little embarrassed, but Seryov had already adjusted, the ball, the alliance people are not familiar with this, the alliance people can be hungry, but they can't help but dance and watch movies.

Seryov naturally relaxed his body and walked over, and the remaining five people were quickly surrounded, pulled into the venue like marionettes by women whose eyes were already capable of eating people.

In an unobtrusive corner, the big guy nodded in satisfaction.

After realizing the major loopholes in Xinyuan's top management, he reported to his superiors overnight, and then set up a task force under the order to solve their personal problems, and chose the traditional route among various options.

Things are going in a similar direction, although the routine is old, but there is no obvious rejection of 6 people, which means that the work is smooth!

……

Changan.

In the huge factory, a huge triangular aircraft is fixed on the test bench, and then follows the movement of the hydraulic parts to withstand various tremors, and the body sways and swings irregularly.

Although the "Snow Bird" near space vehicle is a research mission undertaken by the desert base, their R&D and manufacturing capabilities come from the Fourth Academy of Astronautics, Chang'an Institute and Rongcheng Institute respectively.

In the past year since the project was established, the overall design of the snow bird has finally been completed.

In order to resist the violent friction of 10 times the speed of sound and obtain sufficient lift in the rarefied atmosphere of more than 50,000 meters, the body of the Snow Bird is designed as a triangular body, which is also an ideal design model for hypersonic vehicles in various countries.

The Snowbird's triangular body is very simple, the main body is a triangular plate, the space for the smooth transition between the front and upper bulge and the fuselage is used as the cockpit and load compartment, the rear and lower are the installation of three WCR-12 combined power engines, and finally a small vertical tail is installed on each side of the delta wing.

WCR-12 is an improved version of WCR-09, Xinyuan has not been idle this year, based on the original model has been deeply improved, and the thrust has increased by 33% while the overall mass has increased by less than 20%, from 90KN to 120KN.

The original four WCR-09s were replaced by three WCR-12s, which were considerably reduced in size and weight, and also reduced fuel consumption to increase the range to 36,000 kilometers, which could take off from the desert and fly to the Atlantic Ocean to perform missions and return, which was an unprecedented strategic stealth high-speed bomber.

And the desert base, after careful study, shifted the position of the bomb bay from the belly of the fuselage to the back.

The placement of the bomb bay in the abdomen will increase the area of the lower part, which will affect the design of the engine air intake and landing gear, and also consider the problem of fuselage strength correction and the radar launch area after opening the bomb bay.

The bomb bay on the back can avoid sudden changes in the reflection area detected by ground radars, and it is also convenient to deploy laser weapons to attack outer space.

As for the operational concept of the Snow Bird, the idea of the desert base is that as an indefensible assault force, it can arbitrarily break into the deep area surrounded by heavy defenses, and carry out close reconnaissance and precision strike missions in the case of the loss of the satellite network, and 12 tons can already drop 80 million tons of warheads, and the striking power is very terrifying.

Dou Ping, who watched the test of the Xuehu static engineering prototype at the scene, was about to crack the corner of his mouth behind his ear, and the most optimistic prediction is that the Xuehu may be able to complete the first flight of the verification machine before 2018.

Ami first SR-71, and later what the goddess of dawn, SR91, the indicators are similar to snow birds, and it has always been mysterious and mysterious to make the outside world suspicious.

Now it doesn't matter if they're real or not, the Snow Bird is already here anyway, and it doesn't matter if the SR91 is real or not, no matter how powerful it is, no matter how powerful the Snow Bird is.

Sixth-generation aircraft? Let them eat the exhaust of WCR-12 and go!
