"The Advance officially completed 14 days of continuous full-state testing, and continued to improve the 0.3G standard gravity."

"India's first two astronauts will go into space aboard Gaganyan-3 in 10 days."

"The SS-5 launch has been postponed to April 25, and Musk: will successfully enter orbit as planned."

"The Artemis IV crew returned safely, setting a new record for 17 days of activity on the lunar surface."

"Chiwu-3 will conduct the second phase of the test and carry out technical verification for the Rongcheng space power station"

Hexagonal, Office XIII.

David Usno enters the office and first scans through the latest space news, as is customary.

It is now March 22, nearly three months have passed since the establishment of the 13th Office, and all work has stabilized.

To put it bluntly, the value of existing information has been largely drained, and until new trends are discovered, the job of the 13th Office is to bury itself in formulating various plans and dealing with the dignified elites from time to time.

As time passed, the fear of aliens at the top level also decreased a lot, and some energy was transferred to Earth.

The Advance has been tested for more than 20 days and has been running at a maximum speed of two revolutions per minute for 14 days, and will continue to do so, possibly for a month or even two months before stopping.

More and more information is being learned about the Advance, such as its maximum speed of more than two revolutions per minute.

Two revolutions per minute is the maximum speed that can be accepted when the astronaut needs to move normally in the cabin, observe the window and do not cause significant dizziness or other discomfort.

In fact, with the structure of the advance number, it can achieve 5 revolutions per minute while retaining 100% safety margin.

In real operation, it can safely operate at a speed of 3 to 3.5 revolutions per minute, generating a gravity of 0.6G to 0.85G, which is basically close to standard gravity.

In this gravitational environment, the normal activities of the astronauts will be affected, but if they lie in a special sleeping pod, it is very suitable to strengthen their bones and muscles during sleep, and it can reduce the time that astronauts spend staying in shape during long flights.

In fact, if you increase the rotational speed to 3.8 revolutions per minute, you can simulate 0.98 GB of standard gravity, which is almost the same as that of the Earth, but at this time, even if you are asleep, your body will start to suffer, so 3.5 rpm is used as the limit.

In NACA's opinion, this is almost the gravity space station they need in the future, which is sturdy enough to adjust gravity and has enough living space.

As for the method of connecting several starships head-to-head and rotating them, although it is simple and crude, there are not many actual comfort areas, and it is not as effective as the Advance if it really survives for a long time.

However, David felt that it was harmless, anyway, all he needed was to build a whole deep space base to defend against aliens, and as for reducing the living standards of astronauts, it was not worth thinking about at all.

As a long-time lover of aliens, he has become completely convinced that the M incident was the work of aliens, and has done his best to find possible traces.

And in order to obtain subsequent evidence, the lunar nuclear bomb test explosion program is the focus of the 13th Office.

As long as camouflage signals are detected after a nuclear explosion, then the "energy threat" theory is officially established, and vice versa, a serious question mark needs to be put and at least other possible reasons need to be found.

Naturally, David also had the authority to know the progress of the test of the first nuclear bomb on the moon, and they did not intervene in any way in order to avoid alarm, and now the date of the experiment is May 9, and the Tianmu-4 exploration mission will be carried out before that.

1.5 million tonnes of equivalent is not too big or too small, and it is just right for whatever purpose.

"Mr. Usno, the Hound Team has sent a valuable piece of information!"

The assistant suddenly knocked on the door, and David was initially a little upset, but he became interested when he heard that it was the affairs of the "Hound Dogs" group.

The Hound Team is in command of the CIA, which is responsible for screening sensitive content on Earth, both related to aliens and sending content that they find useful.

This time, it was information from open sources, and the Hound team indicated at the back of the report that the classified content was trying to spy on it, and the content was:

The Space Development Committee officially approved the deep space exploration plan, and will carry out the exploration plan of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in one go this year, with a total plan to launch spacecraft with a mass of more than 500 tons in a few months!

……

The day before, the capital.

The Deep Space Exploration Program research team, formed after John's anniversary speech on January 15, has been conducting two months of on-and-off research before making its final decision on this night.

Lin Ju, who was waiting for others to arrive, took out a bottle of "Tranquility" from his arms and drank it all, quickly changing from a yawning state to a state of high spirits, and the whole person's look became different.

These days, the Advance, NPAE, Saturn exploration and a bunch of other things are mixed, so he is too busy to do it.

Zhong Cheng watched Lin Ju once again abuse stimulants that had not been certified by the Food and Drug Administration, sighed and took out an oral liquid from his pocket, looked at the other people who were doing the same thing, and smiled understandingly.

With Lin Ju leading by example, the Aviation Development Commission, who lacks daily rest, quickly accepted and fell in love with "Tranquility", especially when dealing with work before going to bed, which can not only improve efficiency but also sleep well.

However, the disadvantage is that you have to limit your working hours to no more than two hours, and you will fall asleep soon after that.

After a lot of soothing things for each person, the rejuvenated research team began to exchange opinions with each other again.

“…… Power is important, whether it is conventional or nuclear power, directly determines the entire direction and importance of the program. ”

"Power is not an issue, I still think it's a smoke bomb from NACA, the investment is too high, the time is too long, and it can't be in 10 years."

"Regardless of whether we compete or not, sooner or later we will have to start deep space exploration, and we should only consider these in the early stage."

“……”

After many meetings in the early stage, everyone's opinions have been basically unified: in the case of not being able to see the number of Ami roads, we should start with unmanned detection and carry out conservatively.

The controversy is basically in the later stage, and no matter how fierce the quarrel is, it actually doesn't mean much.

In essence, the Xinyuan Saturn exploration plan has taken shape, the 300-ton mass of the Typhoon combination is scary, plus the Zhurong, the cumulative sum is 500 tons, and there are four Tianwen plans, and the determined scale is already reassuring.

Zhong Cheng didn't participate in the discussion much, and the report that he had accumulated a thick pile, and the deep space exploration plan had long been extended to the space port, and the final report was just confirmed.

The highly efficient closing meeting ended in a hurry after only an hour and a half, and Zhong Cheng dismissed the meeting after a few simple words.

Compared with the matter of more than a billion kilometers away, he is still more concerned about the forward number that involves almost all the energy of the Aviation Development Commission.
