"XAP launched a Venus probe."

"No, it's two, and they're going to sample it back."

Musk retorted to Tom Mueller, who has been busy with the design of the starship and even perfunctory when it comes to the news.

The launch of "Taibai" and "Qixing-1" was very sudden not only for the international community, but also for the domestic stage, and the project lasted so short that it was as if it suddenly appeared.

This time, the Lightning was launched in the Indian Ocean in a different position, and "Taibai" waited for five hours to dock with the propulsion rocket, but at this time, Daystar-1 had reached the second cosmic velocity and entered the transfer orbit, and the distance was widened first.

Only then did it turn out that the IADC had launched two more heavy-duty probes, and the destination was the often forgotten planet Venus.

The "Magellan" probe launched by NACA has flown by Venus and taken a lot of photos, but the "Taibai" announced a large optical module that can obviously bring clearer images, rather than the "Magellan" photography ability with a minimum resolution the size of a football field.

The landing of Daystar 1 and the return of samples have also aroused a lot of interest, but there are also many voices that ridicule the act of collecting samples from Venus's atmosphere, and it is clear that these people are not very aware of the fact that Venus has 0.8G gravity.

From "leaving the fire" to "too white", what Musk sees is that XAP is really broadening its footsteps in the universe step by step, but now SpecaX is still busy launching Starlink.

The original version of Starlink was also miserable, with a bandwidth of less than 10Gbps, and a third of the various accidents in the past six months, causing the International Space Organization to have to mark dozens of more space junk, and then slammed it in the media as a garbage project that wastes orbital resources.

However, as a project supported by the Hexagon, "Starlink" will obviously not be affected by this resistance, and the second-generation platform is being developed at an accelerated pace, and the quality will be increased to 500 to 800 kilograms, which is more complete than the first generation.

"Tom, the FAA has issued a license for the B6, which means we can launch it in May, but we don't have a successful starship yet, otherwise it would be much more spectacular."

Tom Mueller: "This will at least allow us to gather data on a starship instead of watching it blow up in the sky and do nothing." ”

Elon Musk: "Do you also think that the first flight of the B6 will inevitably fail?" Maybe we can do a miracle, the 27 engines of the Heavy Falcon are working very well, and there has not been a single accident. “

Tom Mueller: "Dude, I'm different from them...... I know very well how much vibration the B6's 33 engines can bring, and even if they are turned on at the same time, it would be a disaster, and refusing to install a baffle would increase the probability of danger by 50%. ”

Elon Musk: "I believe in you as much as I believe in the Dragon spacecraft. ”

The second-generation manned "Dragon" spacecraft has quietly obtained all the licenses, and the four astronauts have put on the spacesuits designed by the Marvel superhero costume designer hired by Lao Ma.

Compared to the Dream Chaser, who is still waiting for the go-around process to be approved, the approval of the Crew Dragon spacecraft is much simpler, and the risks of traditional spacecraft are well controlled, and there are few accidents.

An astronaut, an engineer and two billionaires are already in place, ready to fly into space next week and orbit for three days.

If there are no problems with this trip, the Dragon spacecraft will be able to take on the manned transport mission of the International Space Station.

Of course, more importantly, Lao Ma will fulfill the promise he made last year and also take the Dragon spacecraft into space, relying on this gimmick he has successfully sold 20 tickets, all waiting in line to go to space.

However, before going to space, Musk has to go to one more place: the magic capital.

After another year of difficult negotiations, Tesla's Modu Gigafactory finally saw the expectation that it could be realized, only the last little bit was missing.

……

Super large forum, aerospace sector.

Today's first hot post is: "The Dawning 3 crew has been decided, guess who it will be?" ”

Second: "Why is the alliance and we all so interested in Venus?" ”

Third: "The first flight of the B6 will be blown up, as evidenced by the post." ”

Zhou Qingfeng tapped the keyboard and quickly wrote a large number of replies under the three posts with a hand speed that did not belong to his age, and soon received replies from others.

"Wow, Z God is online again, and the content of the revelation is nb"

"Hehe, Z God must be home next to the Xinyuan base, I have posted a lot of close-up photos before, and the photo of the An 1250 and Xinzhou 600 in the same frame is really amazing."

"Z big also thinks B6 is going to blow up? Why don't I open a post and bet on a few engine failures, and get a box of spicy strips if I guess it. ”

“……”

Well, relying on the advantages of being able to get close to the base in his spare time, Zhou Qingfeng, a junior high school student, has become a well-known "god" after two years of active participation in the forum, because the avatar is a letter Z, and is often called the Z god.

Zhou Qingfeng enjoys this feeling of being worshipped very much, who can know that behind the forum god is just a junior high school student?

Just as he continued to express his key political opinions for a day, Zhou Rui's voice came from his ears:

"Qingfeng, don't play, clean up the table and get ready to eat, take your schoolbag away."

"Right now!"

Zhou Qingfeng pressed the spacebar and was about to close the laptop screen, but then found that the message prompt flashed, and someone was sending him a private message.

"Is Z big? I'm a fan of Ling, I just happened to travel to Rongcheng recently, can you recommend where to shoot planes near Xinyuan, I want to come and shoot An1250. ”

Zhou Qingfeng was already very familiar with similar private messages, so he quickly typed an address and sent them out.

The other party hurriedly sent a thank you, but just as Zhou Qingfeng was about to leave, he received another message:

"I've always liked your article, why don't you add a WeChat and send you a red envelope."

Sending red envelopes?!

Zhou Qingfeng suddenly came to his senses, but soon withered again, where did he get his WeChat ID, and he didn't have a mobile phone.

So he replied with great heartache:

"I'm sorry, I don't really like adding strangers, so forget it."

Less than two seconds after this sentence was issued, the other party quickly replied:

"It's okay, it's okay, then I'll give you a QQ member, no need to add friends."

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't resist the temptation this time and quickly sent his QQ number, and after less than a minute, he found that his QQ had more super meeting signs, and it was still a year's super meeting!

One year of Super Membership!

Zhou Qingfeng really didn't expect to get a super member for a year so easily, and suddenly his goodwill towards this stranger also increased a lot, and he took the initiative to say that he could add a QQ number, and the other party was also very happy, and the two became QQ friends.

At this time, Zhou Rui urged to eat again, and Zhou Qingfeng left a sentence of "talk about it in the evening", and hurriedly ran to the living room.

Some of the Kavin ......
