"Mr. Lin, how is Xinyuan's manned lunar exploration project progressing?"

Susanna, a black-haired Latina female journalist, was very excited, and this was Lin Ju's first one-man interview with a foreign media.

As a CBS reporter, she, like other colleagues, tried to send an interview invitation to the mysterious legend as soon as she arrived in China, and she was ready to be officially rejected.

However, what he didn't expect was that just after the press conference of the Aviation Development Commission in the morning, Lin Ju's assistant replied that he could be interviewed, but he only had time that day.

Suzanne immediately took the people and equipment, and excitedly entered Lin Ju's apartment in the capital allocated by the Aviation Development Commission.

The latter glanced at Susanna, who was wearing a V-shaped gown, and secretly sighed at the innate superiority of the Latin American race, the latter keenly spotted his gaze, and shook his shoulders slightly provocatively.

"Ahem, Xinyuan has always had its own lunar exploration plan, which is not only clear, but also very vast, you should know that we completed a manned mission around the moon a month ago."

Susanna: "I know, it's an atomic-powered ship, and you've surpassed the Alliance in this regard to being the number one in the world; Did you get your technology from your military? ”

"Xinyuan has always insisted on independent research and development, which is our unique engine technology, but it does not rule out cooperation with others.

Let's get to the point, within this year, Xinyuan will carry out more than one lunar landing mission. ”

Lin Ju remembered his mission, but he didn't come to kill time with beautiful reporters.

Susanna: "So you're going to have at least two missions to the moon in the next five months?" How many astronauts will you send ain? Are there any foreign astronauts? ”

Lin Ju: "The number of astronauts depends on the needs of the mission, but there are indeed foreign astronauts, and the specific information is inconvenient to disclose. ”

Suzanne was already excited by this time, and in just a few minutes she had enough news to make the front page, and it seemed that she was lucky...... No, it's a good figure.

"Landing on the moon is a great and challenging task, why is Xinyuan, which has been established so young, has the confidence to carry out a huge lunar program?"

Lin Ju: "Just as the development of human society allows more people to enjoy high-tech dividends, the development speed of private aerospace is far from being comparable to many years ago, and many of the past rules have been broken by technological progress, but you are also right, space is still a risky business, and ignoring this risk for certain purposes will cause significant losses to aerospace." ”

As a top student who has passed the sixth level of Chinese, Suzanne noticed that Lin Ju didn't seem to have something to say.

"Actually, I would like to say that I noticed that Artemis II announced the launch date less than a day before the launch, which seems to me to be a hasty action, and such a hasty launch operation is much more risky than a regular mission.

Especially for manned missions, any caution and uneasiness is necessary. ”

Susanna: Shocked.

Lin Ju's sudden and blunt criticism of Artemis II was far beyond her expectations, it was almost impossible to say from a mouth like him, but he did it anyway.

Lin Ju continued:

"Why is the announcement time a 20-hour launch? I think the whole world is seeing the competitive implications, but is it really necessary to take a risk with limited capabilities?

The landing on the moon is a peaceful undertaking that we would like to share with the world. ”

Is this exhortation, or ...... Provocation? Scorn?

Susanna, who had become accustomed to analyzing intentions from the vague words of politicians, never imagined that someone would speak so bluntly, and for a moment she forgot to ask questions about professionalism.

It wasn't until the interview was over that she realized what a great opportunity she had missed, but she didn't have time to regret it and sent it back home, which was breaking news.

A few hours later, a piece of news appeared in the world and became very popular:

"XAP President Lin Ju: It is dangerous and stupid to advance the Artemis 2 program, and it is inevitable that Aramco will lose the moon landing."

……

Airport.

The big guy stood in front of the boarding gate of C810, pointed at Lin Ju with his finger and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a long time, so he had to get into the plane.

It wasn't until C810 drove afterburner to an altitude of 25,000 meters that he organized the language to poke the Lin Ju in front of him:

"It's not for you to hint that Artemis II might have a problem, not for you to provoke the Yankees and force them to hold out to the end."

"Huh? I don't really understand, but it means something pretty much anyway. ”

Lin Ju tried to mess around, but this couldn't hide the old man's eyes.

"If you say 1, the media will report it as 5, and the people will understand it as 10, and see what the news has become now? Everybody will think you're proud and look down on NACA, and that's not going to be good. ”

"That's true."

"This ...... Forget it, I'm glad you're not being interviewed as a committee, so let's just say a few words. ”

The big guy finally gave up struggling, originally wanted to borrow an influential person who was not in the system to say a few words, but he didn't want to be like this, although the goal was achieved, it always felt wrong.

Academician She went to Qiongzhou in advance to play the front station, and the two of them stayed in the capital for half a day with the big leaders, and then took a plane to Qiongzhou in the afternoon.

Artemis II's fate was unplanned, but it didn't make a difference if you really thought about it carefully.

After all, three hours is almost the same as a three-day journey and 380,000 kilometers away, and the two spacecraft are estimated to arrive at the same time, and the specific landing time difference depends on the actual situation.

But at that time, Lin Ju strongly asked for the launch time of Shuguang 3 in advance, and took a lot of reasons to persuade his superiors, saying very seriously how significant the significance of the first launch was, which made the superiors a little moved.

After being inquired and learned that a few hours would not affect the preparations for the launch, the Standing Committee breathed a sigh of relief.

- I don't know if it's in retaliation for Artemis II's sudden revelation of the launch time, saying that "if the preparations are in good condition, the launch time can be as early as 7 o'clock in the morning, but if it needs to be delayed for other reasons, the launch should be suspended for safety."

In a word, human life comes first, and ranking second.

Anyway, people have been there more than 40 years ago, so they don't have such a big psychological burden.

The big guy understands the impulse of the young man in Lin Ju, but the opposition is not strong, and it was originally not authentic for the Yankees.

But what is even more absolute is Lin Ju's proposal to change the time method, after all, a few days ago, the Aviation Development Commission did have a clear text saying that it would be launched at 11 o'clock, and it was a bit unreasonable to change the time directly.

If the Meteorological Bureau thinks that there is rain after 10 o'clock and is forced to move forward, is it reasonable?
