Advanced Players in Arc

At the beginning of 2019, the world was not very peaceful.

Some people call 2018 a year of crisis. Various unpredictable crises lurk in the world, covering almost the entire world.

The situation on the peninsula next to China is in a tense state. Although the two countries on the peninsula suddenly had a "honeymoon" for a period of time at the beginning, which caught the United States a little unprepared, but with the unremitting efforts of the United States, it finally returned to "honeymoon". On the right track".

The Middle East is another hot spot. Although the Islamic State was basically defeated and seemed to have entered a stable period, another bomb was ignited under the regulation of the United States.

As long as there is oil here and no world-class power emerges here, there will be no stability here.

It is good that oil can bring wealth, but if the money is distributed unevenly, trouble will definitely occur internally, and there will be no shortage of prying eyes from the outside.

After all, in modern society, oil is too important for the development of society.

In Europe, the Northern Alliance and Xiong Damao are in confrontation, the Eagle Country continues to struggle with the issue of Brexit, the continued rise of the far right and the refugee crisis, among other difficulties, the EU is facing another split.

In Africa, war and refugee crises are still developing and getting worse.

The United States, which is constantly "adjusting" state relations, also faces crises such as the emergence of terrorism and domestic political divisions.

Fortunately, the world war predicted by some did not happen, but the frictions and conflicts in 2018 continued into 2019. Not only did they continue, they also intensified.

This is also the reason why the world was not peaceful at the beginning of 2019.

However, this imbalance is also divided into types.

There are obvious signs of being overwhelmed by wars and conflicts, which has made the United Nations particularly busy since the beginning of the year.

This busy situation is also reflected in the increasing casualties of UN peacekeeping forces, whether from casualties from accidental stray bullets or the risk of targeted terrorist attacks.

On the contrary, risks such as traffic accidents, injuries and illnesses caused by harsh environments, sudden public dissatisfaction and sudden natural disasters that previously accounted for a large proportion are decreasing.

Another type is the intensification of technological competition among relatively stable major powers. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the Pacific Rim.

Other science and technology competitions are difficult to count, and the news effect is not very big. Some are even conducted in secrecy, but space launches are the best statistics and the most obvious, because each of their launches is booming.

For example, at the end of 2018, the space plans of various countries suddenly began to gather together. Not only were short-term or long-term plans increasing, but there were also more various space launches.

By 2019, because it is one year closer to the planned goals of various companies and countries, this situation has not only not decreased, but has become even busier.

What are you looking at? I’m talking about you, Arc Light Aerospace.

I haven't seen you idle since the aerospace plane successfully took off.

It takes at least one or two weeks for other mature rockets to be launched. This is the result of the joint efforts of various departments.

However, an experimental aircraft model like Arc Light Aerospace takes off once every few days, sometimes every two days, so data collection is extremely frequent.

This plane is really reusable, ah.

But there’s no need to be so showy.

Moreover, the second model of the aircraft came out a month later. After the second model appeared, it became even better. It was no longer satisfied with low-altitude orbits.

In the continuous mission reports of Arc Light Aerospace, the Type 2 space plane has begun to accelerate to challenge the geosynchronous orbit, and has begun to try to escape the earth's gravity and transform into a spacecraft.

And the latest announcement from Arclight Aerospace has clearly stated that the aerospace aircraft has been basically finalized, and the new aerospace transport aircraft has also entered the design stage.

This is a big deal. How long has it been?

Just over a month.

In such a short period of time, such an advanced aerospace aircraft has been basically finalized, and enough experience has been gained to start extending its hands to aerospace transport aircraft.

So shameless!

However... no matter how serious the war is and the aerospace industry is developing in full swing, for ordinary people in China, as long as it has nothing to do with them, the New Year is still the most important thing.

Compared with other companies, Arclight Group takes vacation early, and the vacation time is relatively long. Even if someone has to be on duty, excluding the on-duty time, it will be longer than the entire vacation time of other companies.

All this comes from Sun Hao. He wants to slow down the company's development speed to adjust the company's new structure, but he usually has no excuse. The slowdown speed is limited. The adjustment is effective, but not comprehensive.

It happened to be the Spring Festival this time, and after giving rich year-end bonuses to employees, I simply took a few more days off.

With no one working anymore, development will naturally slow down.

It's just that the group's decision-making, management and executive levels don't want to celebrate the New Year at home this year. They all have to work overtime to perfect the new structure.

Of course, Dong Chen and Gao Ze are not included here.

It was because the engineers in the technical department worked too fast that they were sent back to rest early.

………………

"Come on, come on, let's go one by one. Here's to another year that's almost gone by, and here's to another year that we're older."

Jin Yanming raised the cup high, but found that no one responded to him. Instead, they clinked the cup and said, "Happy New Year in advance, and by the way, I wish Lao Jin another year older."

Jin Yanming, "…………"

"Haha, come on, don't pretend to be depressed and have a drink quickly," Chen Zizi, who was nearest to him, smiled and clinked his glass with him.

"Damn, I know you guys are doing this on purpose, making fun of me every year."

It is already February 1, 2019, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in a few days. After the party today, they went home to celebrate the New Year.

While eating, drinking and chatting, we talked about the progress of the projects we were responsible for.

"Hey, Brother Dong, how is the progress of your body enhancer? Our aerospace transport aircraft has been designed and is now undergoing simulation testing. I believe it will be ready to fly in two months." Xiang Wu He asked Dong Chen while eating melon seeds.

"It went very smoothly. It has been completed. We don't have to worry about the physical fitness of our own astronauts in the future, and there will be no problems in the future era of interstellar navigation," Dong Chen said with a smile.

"We are almost there," Jin Yanming, who was abused at the beginning, also said, "Now the FW perfect robot and FW streamlined robot have been fully debugged and can be mass-produced and put into the market at any time."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiang Wu, "We have also begun designing the space maintenance robots and construction engineering robots you need. Although they cannot keep up with the quality of the robots in Brother Dong's underground base, they will certainly not delay your moon base construction plan. of."

"Hey, that's pretty much it. Let's have a drink." Xiang Wu happily raised his glass and touched it with Jin Yanming. "No matter how good the astronaut's health is, they will be subject to many restrictions when they are in space. This time's flight There are a lot of tasks, and some of the astronauts are almost overwhelmed."

"Comparatively, the restrictions on this robot are much smaller. With the assistance of intelligent robots and our aerospace transport aircraft or cargo spacecraft, it is quite fast to build an advanced base on the moon."

After hearing this, they all nodded in agreement. Dong Chen said, "It just so happens that the body enhancer has been completed. Let's use it first. Isn't the aerospace plane basically fine? Then let them rest and shift the focus. When it comes to cultivating our own astronaut team, we currently have too few spacecraft pilots, and demand exceeds supply."

"Yes, we are currently being delayed by the parts that other space agencies are most in need of. We are the least in need of what other space agencies need most. You think this is so irritating." Xiang Wu shook his head and stuffed it into his mouth. A mouthful of food came out vaguely.

"Haha, who made us develop too fast? If you want to blame it, blame it on Dong Chen." Jin Yanming pointed at Dong Chen and smiled.

Others also followed suit.

"That's right, we must let him drink one."

"Agreed, haha."

"You have to fill it up. Give me the bottle and I'll fill it up for him."

Dong Chen was dissatisfied and immediately retorted, "You are so unjust. You blame me for your rapid development."

"If we don't develop quickly, will you have a chance to go to space in this life?"

"How can you have a girlfriend if you don't develop fast money?"

"How can Brother Kuaibo green the earth if he doesn't develop?"

Dong Chen became more and more confident as he spoke, and finally said with his hands on his hips, "Humph!"

"If not, let's vote by a show of hands," Fang Dingbo said silently.

Dong Chen “…………”

PS: Well, I made a miscalculation today and can only update once. I will start writing for tomorrow now. I promise with my hair that I will definitely update twice tomorrow...
