Chapter 692: Theory and Reality
On June 1, the Artemis V mission was successfully launched after a month's delay.
The delay was mainly a matter of the service module, ESA was busy with its own space program and had no spare capacity, and although NACA had already found Grumman as its next home, it still delayed for some time.
With Grumman fully supplying the Upper Centaur program, NACA is poised to squeeze out four missions to the moon in the second half of the year.
In addition to building their own "Columbus" camp, one of the many missions to the moon is also focused on the follow-up plan of the "Skycanopy" series.
According to the arrangement of the joint blasting team, after the test explosion, the mine will be completely blown out in batches, and the most recent mission is set for July 12, which is to detonate eight hydrogen bombs of the 10 million ton equivalent at the same time, and then blow up the prototype of the super mine first.
NACA did not want to miss such a mega event, and in consultation with United Mining, the Artemis VI mission will land at the Yushu Mine to complete the relevant preparations.
Zhang Shoucheng, Ye Changsi, Lin Ju, Zhong Cheng, Wu Yunfeng, Yang Zhongkai, a total of six people are here to report on the recent achievements and answer questions.
Therefore, not only after thinking about it, but in fact, the higher authorities are also seriously considering whether to forcefully intervene in the suspension of the bombing plan of United Mining, or change the way.
Ye Changsi: "One year is the minimum preparation time, you need to carefully debug the Advance, reserve fuel and materials, plan the route and mission schedule, land the spacecraft, and material support, and it may be too late to rush for a year."
"The best outcome is this"
The superior subconsciously wanted to smoke, but he reacted halfway through the action and turned to take the teacup and took a sip mechanically.
Superior: "Take a gamble?" ”
Human beings actually have nothing to lose, we in the universe are barefoot, and in the face of a real interstellar civilization, failure is death. ”
The later you land on Mars, the longer you keep this secret, don't forget about the conditions for gravitational waves to excite this time!
Scientists have basically determined that the nuclear explosion on the moon triggered the gravitational waves, and there are more than 30 more to be blown up behind the United Mining, and if they can be triggered every time, several other gravitational wave observatories in the world will definitely find the problem.
As for the moth half a month ago, it has gradually subsided now.
Aramco waived its request to re-examine the qualifications of the Joint Mining Nuclear Installation, while requesting the addition of an additional clause to article III of the Outer Space Treaty:
"So the question now is to figure out whether every lunar nuclear explosion triggers a gravitational wave signal."
Zhang Shoucheng gently knocked on the armrest of the chair and said the current tangle point for his superiors:
"Actually, I just need to bet again, bet on whether there will be gravitational wave signals in July, my tendency is to gamble."
"The news from Plains Zero was told by 'Karst', and we just thought that the gravitational wave emitter was there, so we had to carry out a large-scale excavation operation, which was unconcealable.
He doesn't actually like to smoke, and he doesn't have this habit, but from the early morning of the 23rd to now, the tobacco he consumes has been able to catch up with the old smokers, and it is foreseeable that this will become a long-term habit.
Zhang Shoucheng: "There's no reason to trigger a signal every time there explodes, it doesn't make sense.
And Ye Changsi and Lin Ju immediately nodded in agreement, Xinyuan also had the same opinion internally, they were unwilling to give up food because of choking.
Only Xu Rang knew that this was Ami expressing his dissatisfaction, of course this article could not be passed, and Ami must be accelerating the research of his own space-based laser, how could he arrange shackles for himself in advance.
This is just an expression of dissatisfaction with the stalemate in the previous negotiations.
Farther away, in fact, as long as Ami cooperates with us, the influence of Martian alien relics is also within a certain range, and Mars can also block the news, and distance is a natural barrier. ”
Lin Ju added:
"The 'Virgin' Observatory has also joined Ami LIGO, and Ami has the ability to control it, and if we don't want the information to spread widely, we have to find a way to get LIGO, or Ami, to hide the news.
Worried about escalating the situation? Or something else?
……
This article caused different reactions from the Quartet, Hua Guo and Lucia did not express their position, which was actually a negative attitude, while the Belt and Hair Country were more positive, especially the Belt Brother.
"A country, to be exact."
However, as long as you depart before September 2019, you will arrive at the end of the year, which means that you will have a year and a half to decide. ”
The smaller impact is limited to Mars, which cannot be observed on Earth, so the probes belonging to NACA and ESA on Mars will find it;
The impact is greater, and if even the Earth can see the anomaly, it will be even more difficult to hide, and we are not sure what will be discovered. ”
Superior: "And what if there's a signal?" There are two other countries in the world that have observatories that can detect gravitational waves of this magnitude, and we must be prepared. ”
Superior: "According to your plan, it will take a year to prepare, depart in June and August next year, and arrive on Mars in December." ”
Ye Changsi was the first to explain:
Years of diplomatic experience have made him keenly aware of the vacillations, indicating that the country is hesitating, or rather thinking.
It seems natural that the trade-off between joint mining and extraterrestrial civilizations will seem easy, but an abrupt termination when a huge amount of resources has been invested may bring a heavy blow to the development of space resources, which is somewhat self-defeating.
"In other words, when we dig up the ruins on Mars, we may not be able to hide things?"
Now he is replacing it with drinking tea, just because of someone else's identity.
But the others are unanimous that they don't understand, and they don't know why Ami suddenly made such a request, after all, it seems that for the time being, this point is actually not necessary, but it may lay hidden dangers for the future.
In fact, for Xu Rang, he has also been a little unsure of the domestic attitude recently, some time ago he was tough, but recently he suddenly asked him to "maintain the status quo", as if he was worried about something.
Zhang Shoucheng's attitude was very resolute, he knew very well how powerful a civilization that could come to the solar system to build a gravitational wave emitter was, no matter how tossing and turning in the face of the absolute strength gap, it was difficult to escape death, it was better to gamble a little luck, and they still had some basis.
We are almost certain that the target of gravitational wave communication is at least a few light-years away, if not much farther away, and it doesn't make sense to send the same signal frequently over a signal transmission period measured in years.
High-power laser launchers are also included in the list of restricted weapons, which, like nuclear bombs, are not allowed to be deployed in outer space.
How do you make a decision to explain the anomaly that is discovered at that time, or simply play dumb together?
But this is a bit too far-fetched, after all, you Chinese people are in a hurry and organize a fire-boarding team at any cost, and as soon as you go, you will break out the alien news, who will believe it if it doesn't matter?
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult to operate, we can't lead Ami away, it's impossible."
Zhong Cheng objected after a little thought, Lin Ju said that it was only theoretically feasible, but he expected Ami to cooperate with him? This difficulty is similar to praying that aliens are here to accumulate virtue and do good.
