Reborn Technology Scholar

Just when China held a commendation ceremony for manned moon landing, far away in the United States, there was a conference room.

The person in charge of NASA lowered his head dejectedly, while an old man above him was raging, belittling NASA as worthless.

"Tell me, gentlemen, tell me, what have you done in the past twenty years or so!" The old man roared angrily: "China's 'Chang'e' spacecraft went to the moon, and they established the first satellite on the moon.

A scientific research station, the "Chang'e" spacecraft" returned to the earth, they are holding a commendation meeting, the whole world is reveling in China's moon landing feat, but what about you? Besides asking for funds, what else can you do?

?”

"When I was young, NASA had the ability to send astronauts to the moon with Apollo. They went not just once, but six times. At that time, people cheered for NASA and cheered for the United States! But now, in the past half year

century, what else can NASA do?" The old man pointed at several NASA leaders and sprayed: "Don't think I don't know what you are doing, Musk's SpaceX, Jeff Bezos' Blue In, what else do you need from me?

What? You, NASA, took taxpayers’ money and handed over the launch mission to them, while you are sitting in the office with your feet up!?”

After scolding the person in charge of NASA, the old man said indifferently: "Now that the United States is extremely disappointed with NASA, you don't have to keep doing it!"

"Sir, did we hear you correctly?" NASA's chief executive trembled all over. What he had feared had finally happened.

"You heard that right. I regret to tell you that you have been fired. You will lose your jobs and become unemployed!" The old man showed disgust, waved his hands, and the guards took them out of the office.

Then the old man rubbed his head with a headache. He originally wanted to make a big comeback and renew his ambitions, but he found that although it had only been four years, the situation was even worse.

It was so bad that his previous strategies could no longer be used.

If I had known earlier, I would have been better off becoming the world's largest Internet celebrity, live streaming and selling goods, and become a world-class rich man.

"Damn idiot~~" The old man hated the bad old man who was four years older than him. This old man who always said the wrong things increased the number of Latinos by 30 million in just four years.

Society has not improved but deteriorated.

However, the relevant person in charge of NASA has been dismissed. The most important thing now is to re-appoint the relevant person in charge of NASA.

Then come up with a plan.

A few days later, several newly appointed NASA officials came to see the old man with a document and said: "Sir, based on our investigation and understanding at NASA, we actually still have a big lead in the aerospace field.

Now we just need to speed up our own pace to maintain our lead and don't have to worry about other challengers."

"Oh? What do you say?" The old man suddenly became interested.

"According to the information we have obtained, NASA is now fully capable of carrying out manned lunar landings, but we suggest that while continuing to advance the 'return to the moon' plan, we push our frontline in a more distant direction, such as -

Mars! Sir, you should know that manned landing on Mars is much more difficult than manned landing on the moon. Once we land manned on Mars, our influence will be able to cover up all the previous disadvantages. China's Chang'e

The act of landing the No. 1 spacecraft on the moon will also become insignificant." NASA's top official said passionately.

The moon is about 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, while Mars is 54 million kilometers away from the earth at its closest point, and is as far as 400 million kilometers away. At such a long distance, a probe would need to fly for about 7 months to reach Mars and manned a mission to Mars.

The difficulty is undoubtedly much higher than that of manned landing on the moon.

Once NASA achieves manned landing on Mars, it will undoubtedly be a sensation, much more sensational than when Apollo carried astronauts to the moon. It will naturally prove that NASA still has huge advantages in the aerospace field.

Still No. 1 in the global aerospace field!

"Moreover, sir, according to NASA's previous exploration of Mars, the diameter of Mars is 6779km, which is nearly twice the size of the moon and half the size of the Earth. The surface area is also equivalent to the land area of ​​the Earth. The surface area is finally equal to 0.4 times that of the Earth. Mars is rich in

Resources, the resource reserves of ilmenite are as high as 1,500 trillion tons, the resource reserves of rare earth elements are about 22.5 billion to 40 billion tons, and the reserves of phosphorus, potassium, thorium, uranium and other elements are also very rich!"

"The most important thing is that according to detection data, scientists have discovered that there is a huge amount of water resources inside Mars, which is similar to a giant 'underground reservoir'. The water reserves in some places of the U.S. debt are even equivalent to those inside the Earth. This shows that as long as you land on the moon, then

It is completely possible to obtain water locally, and it is easier to build a lunar base, which is far more cost-effective than developing the moon!" said the top manager of NASA.

"Then do you think, when can we carry out manned landing on the moon, and how long will it take for manned landing on Mars?" The old man waved his hand and said impatiently.

If these people weren't his confidants, he wouldn't even want to listen to their nonsense!

He only cares about when NASA can carry people to the moon and when it can carry people to Mars. This is a matter of votes!

Now the whole world is looking at NASA, and the pressure is quite big.

He keeps withdrawing from the group and no longer being the group leader, not just to shrink his power so that he can have money for his own changes.

As for the group leader, what’s the point of being a group leader? All the current group members are unscrupulous. They always want to kill the group leader and become the group leader themselves, or they want the group leader to send red envelopes and benefits all day long. They are just being ignored.

People quietly grab red envelopes and enjoy the benefits given by the group leader.

"Sir, we think we can carry out manned landings on the moon this year and Mars next year, leaving our astronauts' footprints on the moon and Mars!" NASA's top official said, patting his chest.

"Custer, I want to tell you, I don't want to see the rocket turn into a ball of fire as soon as it is launched. What I want is 100% success! In this way, there is no need for manned landing on the moon this year, NASA only needs to launch a manned moon landing on December 12 next year.

If the manned landing on the moon is successful in March, then I will commend you and promote you to a more important position. As for the manned landing on Mars, it can be arranged in five years!" the old man said.

After that failed experience, he was no longer as impulsive as before. If it weren't for the fact that the Saturn V exploded like fireworks as soon as it took off, allowing the world to enjoy the most expensive fireworks in history, how would he have lost with a slim vote?

defeat.

He doesn't need a manned landing on Mars, he just needs a successful manned landing on the moon, so that he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, remain motionless as a mountain, and no one can attack him.

As for manning a manned mission to Mars, that is not necessary. Whether he is interested in sitting in this chair again in five years is still a question mark.

A few days later, when China had just ended its seven-day May Day holiday and started its first day of work after the holiday, a piece of news spread around the world.

"Shocked! NASA has announced a countdown to its 'return to the moon' plan. It will launch a rocket in December 2026 to carry astronauts back to the moon to follow Armstrong's footsteps! They announced a manned landing on Mars in 2030!

"

In an office in Shuixian City and Yunxiao County, Qin Yuanqing was sitting on the sofa, enjoying a cup of green tea while browsing the latest news hot spots, and happened to see this news.

"This should be the fifth time NASA has announced the news of 'returning to the moon' in the past five years, and the eighth time it has announced manned landing on Mars?" Qin Yuanqing shook his head and smiled.

'Return to the Moon', NASA will announce it every once in a while, and the time is different every time, and I don't know exactly when it will be. The same goes for the manned landing on Mars, especially the manned landing on Mars, and more

It was done with great fanfare, with a global public tender and global recruitment of astronauts.

The whole world is probably numb to this, and they don't know which time should be used as the standard. They don't even understand what happened to NASA. Can this kind of information be announced casually? Where will its prestige be in the future?

NASA undoubtedly knows the most about Mars. In 1964, NASA successfully launched the Mariner 4 probe to Mars to explore Mars. In 1969, it launched Suisui 6 and Mariner 7, and in 1971, it launched the Mariner 4 probe.

Mariner 9, and then successfully launched Viking 1 and 2 in 1975, Mars Observer in 1993, Mars Global Surveyor in 1996, Mars Pathfinder in 1997, Orside in 2001, and 2003

The Spirit Mars rover, the Opportunity Mars exploration rover, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2005, the Phoenix Mars Polar Explorer in 2007, the Curiosity Mars rover in 2011, and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Explorer in 2013.

In the Soviet Union, Russia launched 20 probes to Mars, and all 20 failed. Other countries also ended in failure. NASA successfully launched 16 of 20 times to Mars, with a success rate of 80%. It can be seen that NASA has made great achievements in detecting Mars.

achievements.

But talking about manned landing on Mars can only deceive laymen. Everyone knows that in order to achieve this step, NASA must launch a Mars probe, and the Mars probe must return safely before it can be initially determined that it can

Conduct a manned landing on Mars.

Otherwise, manned landing on Mars would be a joke on the lives of the astronauts, and the risk would be very high.

"It seems that NASA's pressure has reached its limit and it can't sit still!" Qin Yuanqing thought thoughtfully, but he even smiled. He sincerely wished that NASA could really successfully manned a manned landing on the moon, and even manned a landing on Mars.

success.

In this case, a lot of funds will be used in aerospace engineering, and part of the funding for the 'Helios' project should be cut off. It is best to have all funds cut off!

As for China, it is better to establish a scientific research station on the moon and farm on the moon. After more than ten years, the "Double Ring Space Station" will officially dominate the space. That will be great!

As for Mars, whoever wants to go can go!
