"When I was younger, aerospace was a difficult and complex task that required the coordination of various industries to promote.

It took more than 200,000 employees and the genius von Braun to build the Earth Star V, but SpecaX used 2,000 men and stainless steel to create a starship with nearly double the take-off mass.

The development of science and human society seems to have made space more and more accessible and the threshold is getting lower and lower, but you have now brought it back to that era. ”

The big guy and Lin Ju sat in the teahouse on the high-rise of the Beijing's business district, and their eyes kept looking into the distance outside the glass curtain wall and continued:

"Xinyuan now has 10,000 regular employees, and you have actually surpassed the space agency."

Seeing that Lin Ju, the big guy who had a lot less scruples because of the transfer, was a little uncomfortable, and habitually said modestly:

"No, no, no, the space agency, aerospace science and technology, and science and industry are all over the country, what can we be."

The big guy shook his head and said seriously:

"At the time of Saturn V, there was no mature CAD software, and NACA recruited tens of thousands of engineers to draw with pencils, so it was not right to look at the number of people.

Many of our experts have been to you, and they all say that Xinyuan's degree of automation is the highest in the world, and 8,000 of our 10,000 people are R&D and design, and our real essence is not much different, and it is not as concentrated as yours, and you can communicate new things at any time. ”

"So the three wars will be over as soon as they come."

"Hahaha......"

Lin Ju's joke made the atmosphere much easier, and the big guy no longer continued to talk on this topic, but talked about United Mining:

"I can tell you in advance that there should be a notice in a few days: the first hydrogen bomb with a test explosion is ready and ready to be launched."

"So fast?"

Lin Ju was surprised not by the speed of warhead preparation, but by the fact that there was a rocket that could be launched.

According to the results of previous meetings, the hydrogen bombs provided by each side were launched into lunar orbit on their own, which is a matter of dignity after all, not to mention that such a highly secret thing should not be touched too much.

Of course, there is no problem with the upper three, the warhead is at most a few tons thrown over, and the active rocket can be used, and the country still has an Ariane 5 in stock and the VV-1 that is about to make its first flight.

The only successful launch vehicle was the "Black Arrow" developed in the 60s, which launched a 65.8-kilogram satellite into space in 1971, officially becoming the sixth country with satellite launch capabilities.

Since then, the launch vehicle technology tree with a boom is gone, either in Aramco or ESA, and now the only thing that has anything to do with rockets is the "Trident" in nuclear submarines, but that thing can't send a nuclear bomb to the moon.

Big guy: "The vehicle is the last Ariane 5 in ESA's inventory, and the Hip Nation is loading rockets into ships, and it will be ready for launch in Guyana at the end of January." ”

"What do the people of the country use for themselves?"

"VV-1, the first rocket has actually been manufactured, but they are still checking it for fear of falling, and it is estimated that it will be launched in January."

Lin Ju: "Isn't this a death to save face and suffer a crime, Ariana has at least three or five billion US dollars, right?" Can they afford the money? ”

"That's definitely reluctant, and Ariane 5 has too much carrying capacity, and this time there is also an ESA lunar orbiting probe, what is it called'Peregrine Falcon'?

The warhead should be dismantled ready-made, only 300 kilograms, and the detector is more than 2 tons, so it should be said that they are the ones who go to rub the rocket. ”

“……”

There is not even a single usable launch vehicle, and there is no face left!

After sighing with emotion, Lin Ju suddenly patted his head, if it is launched at the end of January, then the preliminary survey task has almost been completed, which means that it can be detonated in February, and it can still catch up with the Spring Festival?

Now I know what to put in the New Year, this year is with the original imported fireworks.

He said the idea, and then the big guy thought about it seriously and replied:

"I'm afraid it's not very ornamental, there are no spectacular fireballs and mushroom clouds to see in space, and it's not as interesting as the 200,000 tons on Earth, you have to change your mind."

"I almost forgot...... The date is set? ”

"It's settled, noon the day after tomorrow."

"So fast, it's not that December 15-20, how to ...... in advance"

Lin Ju came back to his senses suddenly, and then wondered:

"Did the IAEA agree to bring the time adjustment forward?"

The big guy's face became more serious, and he sat down precariously and said:

"According to our meteorologists' predictions, there is a risk that ocean currents and monsoon changes will expand the scope of the ocean pollution after December 15, and the IAEA has endorsed this proposal, and the next suitable window is too long, so it is better to move forward.

Anyway, the preparations are all done, and there will be no safety hazards a day or two in advance. ”

"That's right...... When the time comes, let's go together? I really chartered a yacht this time. ”

"That's not going to work—" The big guy shook his head fiercely:

"You're still with the Yuanwang 7, when the time comes, we have a fleet there, they will protect you, and no one else will know that you are on board."

……

Futaba-gun.

The US2 seaplane, which was exclusive to the emergency support and rescue team, landed on the airport again, and the national coordination team and IAEA experts inside came out in turn to be disinfected, apparently completing another inspection of the radiation area.

After Zhang Meng changed his clothes and walked out of the decontamination barracks, he saw a modified H-6 observation plane flying overhead at a low speed overhead, blowing a gust of wind on the ground.

Within a few minutes, a P8A flew awkward, and then the sound of a noisy turboprop engine began to be heard in the sky.

It wasn't until his ears were numb enough that a Tu-142 swaggered over.

H-6, P8, and TU142 jointly patrol in the control area of Fudao to survey the regional conditions and investigate potential safety hazards, which has become the norm these days.

These crews with high-intensity fighting methods on weekdays will occasionally fly in formation a few times, which is an unprecedented spectacle.

However, these large aircraft patrols are still mostly symbolic, and the real main task has to be the drone, which has almost no shortcomings except that the signal is not very good in the radiation area, and it can also cruise for a long time to search for people who are stranded without authorization.

The ground team mainly deals with the aftermath and rests well, with few tasks other than fixed-point patrols.

"Captain!"

Zhang Meng greeted Tian Zhan, who came to greet him, and then asked excitedly:

"Have all the people withdrawn?"

"Withdrawn, all observation points in the area of influence before 6 p.m. today will be removed."

Tian Zhan also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the official evacuation of those observation points meant that the clearance plan for the day after tomorrow would not be postponed, which was of course a good thing.

"What about you? Do you have the confidence to hit the first shot? ”

"That's for sure!"

Zhang Meng patted his chest:

"If I can't get this right, I won't be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life!"
