Philadelphia.

As one of the eight Ivy League universities, the University of Pennsylvania is undoubtedly famous for its status and scientific research strength, and is famous for the birth of the world's first electronic computer, ENIAC.

John chose to give his speech here for his first anniversary speech, which was seen by all the teachers and students in the school...... It's interesting.

For the Aramco people in this world, 2017 is really too extraordinary.

Two consecutive moon landings were carried out in six months, one of which was very thrilling and almost became a catastrophe of the century.

NACA's status has also risen in the tide of fierce competition, and it has set a new record for funding.

In fiscal year 2017, the NACA budget plus special additional funding totaled more than $100 billion, and last year's military spending was only $630 billion, and NASA's funding accounted for one-sixth of military spending?!

It can only be compared to the Apollo program, and the abnormal space mania has also greatly boosted scientific research and the decaying manufacturing environment of the country.

Although there are still minor incidents such as the explosion of the hydrogen bomb, and the world cannot be said to be thriving, it gives people, especially the elite and middle class, the feeling that it is not so bad, and it is even not bad.

So their opinion of John is at least no lower than that of Xiao Hei, according to the poll conducted the night before John's speech, 68% think he is "doing a good job", 18% are "average", and the rest are opposed.

This is a data that can be trusted by internal statistics, and after reading it, the staff members think that it is not difficult to be re-elected without accidents.

John confidently walked on the podium, first spent ten minutes greeting the attendees, and after receiving an extremely enthusiastic response, he puffed up his chest and shouted out the slogan of the speech:

"Fly to outer space, fly to Jupiter, fly to Saturn, fly to Neptune, go beyond the solar system!"

……

United Mining Headquarters.

The three experts of the first landing mission of Tianmu-1 have returned to the surface through three transfers, and while they are recuperating, they are also actively working on the follow-up plan of the mission.

Yang Xinjun's space cement team went back to the lab to work on the improvement plan, while Jamie, a nuclear expert, rested for a few days at the embassy's arrangement, and then came to the United Mining headquarters to exchange technical details with his colleagues who were still in Tiangong or the moon.

At this time, the base will also observe the event via online connection as a record or propose amendments.

“…… There are some points in the previous data that need to be corrected, and this expedition has changed our understanding of the structure of lunar soil, and it is seriously inappropriate to apply the ideal model......"

Although the open communication was not a complicated secret, the conversations between Jamie and the other nuclear experts were still obscure to outsiders, and only four or five people at the base could fully understand what they were saying.

Among them is Cheng Nankai, a newly promoted A+ physicist, who, in addition to nuclear physics, has also improved his knowledge of particle physics and quantum mechanics, and in his own words, "sees the world from a new perspective".

This also means that he can participate in the research of high-energy physics and microscopic gravity, and the A+ scientists who can now participate in this research include Ye Changsi, Cheng Nankai, Wu Yunfeng of the Institute of High Energy, and the other two new theoretical physicists of the base, Qiao Wen and Gao Xie, who will fully lead the next few cutting-edge science projects.

They carefully participated in the exchange of the joint mining blasting team and concluded that except for some minor problems that do not affect the overall situation, the hydrogen bomb blasting plan is confirmed to be feasible.

Counting Rosen, who has not yet completed the inspection mission, the investigation opinion of the nuclear experts of the blasting team is that it will take about 20 to 40 days to complete the simulation and optimization of the supercomputing model, and then the test explosion verification work of the first hydrogen bomb can be prepared.

This progress made Lin Ju quite satisfied, which means that if everything goes well, the first hydrogen bomb will be exploded on the moon in March, and the first nuclear bomb will be used on an extraterrestrial celestial body, and United Mining will definitely become a legend.

"Old leaves, are you sure you put them in the cave?"

He suddenly looked at Ye Changsi, who heard a rumor when he was communicating with the Aviation Development Commission yesterday about the nuclear power transformation of the aerospace aircraft: someone suggested that the karst cave discovered by the previous Artemis II crash should be used, and the location of the 8 living cabins of the Yushu base and the Guanghan Palace base should be placed in a safe cave.

The specific measure is to move all the living areas of the base underground, and at the same time seal the top of the cave and leave only the entrance.

The main benefit of this is not to defend against meteorites - it will definitely not be able to prevent it if it hits it anyway, but the ultimate goal is to protect against cosmic rays and the effects of radiation from nuclear explosions.

A barrier of moon rock and lunar soil can naturally weaken most of the ray damage without worrying about being destroyed, far more convenient than adding a protective layer to the chamber.

The problem of radiation in outer space has always been a big problem, such as the Van Allen radiation belts that exist around the earth, and one of the reasons why some people question the falsification of the moon landing is that human spacecraft are unable to resist the super radiation of the Van Allen radiation belts, and astronauts are sent to death when they pass through.

While the Apollo program and several moon landings last year proved this to be a fallacy, in fact several landing missions chose to pass through the weakest point of the Van Allen radiation belt, and no one really resisted the densest part.

You must know that the Van Allen radiation belt was discovered during the Apollo program, and when NACA observed it, they were shocked, and once thought that it was caused by the explosion of a large-yield hydrogen bomb in space, which shows that its power is average.

However, these were not considered in the design of the 8 modules of the Yushu base, because the 14 robots have not fully explored the structure and geology of the cave, otherwise it will be troublesome if it collapses.

Now it seems that the internal structure of the cave has been clarified, which is why some people have put forward such an opinion.

"It may be in the future, but the plans for the time being remain the same."

Ye Changsi replied:

"The eight sections of the Yushu No. 1 base are designed to resist those radiation problems, and it is a bit troublesome to move to the cave for construction, and it will affect the time too much, and their opinions are similar."

"That's good...... What about aerospace aircraft? What attitude? ”

When Lin Ju asked this time, Ye Changsi's face was obviously not good:

"No, although I promised that the NPAE would be able to test the prototype before the mass production by March, and the radiation content of the ejecta would meet the safety standards, they still said that the impact was not good.

It was even said that the test flight of the XN90 was not sure whether it would be approved, after all, there would be pollutant emissions anyway, and said that we could not set this precedent.

As for the production of aerospace aircraft as planned, the first four of the military will not be changed, and the nuclear power program will not be considered until it is clear. ”
