#149 - The Navigator vs. the American

Interstellar Pathfinder and the American Aerospace Agency are fighting again!

Huh?

Why say 'again'?

Because this isn't the first time they've clashed.

Since last year's Lunar Grand Prix, people have known about Interstellar Pathfinder, and as time went on, they also understood the 'grudge' between this company and the American Aerospace official.

If you really want to talk about 'grudges,' there's not much to it, at most it's just Pathfinder Company intruding into what America thought was its 'back garden'.

The self-directed and self-acted Lunar Grand Prix was intercepted by Pathfinder Company.

It was also because the Americans underestimated the world... well, the people of Tianxia, and created a big loophole themselves, allowing others to win with real skills.

Moreover, this company came from Tianxia, which they had been blockading.

Yes, just because of this, the feud was settled.

Later, Pathfinder only cooperated with Tianxia's official side for a few publicity campaigns and a few projects. Outsiders could also understand that, after all, it's an aerospace company, and so far, national orders are the main source of income.

Without national aerospace orders, they would basically be done for. The larger the aerospace company, the more this is the case.

In the beginning, America jumped around a few times, without directly canceling Interstellar Pathfinder's participation in the lunar landing order competition. Relevant fields thought the spring of the aerospace industry had arrived, thinking that America was finally going to cooperate with Tianxia in the aerospace field.

As a result, they thought too much.

How could there be any spring? Judging from the current situation, it is clearly from the lesser cold into the greater cold, and it has started to 'shiver'!

Later, America simply stopped talking about public lunar landing bids and began to shift its attention to Mars.

The Mars sample return mission was brought forward significantly.

The next Mars window will be executed!

New promotional CGs followed one after another, throwing them out one by one, dazzling people.

This kind of rhythm is unheard of!

Some insiders even said that the lunar landing tender has actually been going on, but it is not open to the public. However, American aerospace officials seal any such information they see, claiming that every piece of information is false.

So, in the end, no one knows if it is or isn't.

As long as the American side does not publicly bid, Pathfinder's qualification to participate in the bidding will always be there, but it has not been used yet.

Tang Ye didn't care about this. Anyway, the previous goal had been achieved. So far, wherever the American propaganda forces can reach, they all know the name of Interstellar Pathfinder.

However, the American side is really getting more and more restless. Since Moon Palace II landed on the moon, Pathfinder Company has released some videos from time to time.

There are interior and exterior scene appreciation videos, in 4K quality.

There are test images of automatic equipment, such as letting a 3D printer conduct printing tests and printing a mini lunar rover.

Then there is the 'fast and slow combination' scientific tour of the lunar rover, also in 4K quality.

Those slow-moving lunar rovers are nothing, the audience likes to watch 'speeding' scenes the most.

Moreover, speeding is not just pure speeding. According to Pathfinder Company, they are looking for water!

As soon as this was mentioned, many people became excited.

If water can really be found, combined with Moon Palace II, and a few more astronauts, that would be perfect!

There is hope for humans to survive on the moon!

So even if many shots are of slow searches with the lights on in the dark, the audience still enjoys watching it.

Many viewers even transformed into 'volunteer water finders'. Every time the video is updated, they watch it frame by frame, hoping to find some clues.

Even if someone reminds them: 'Hey, wake up, this is a recorded video. They must have searched it before it was released.'

But many people will retort: 'What do you know? Is their search foolproof? How many engineers are in charge of this project, are there 50 million?'

At this time, the video has 50 million views.

'50 million people may not be accurate in their checks. I also plan to mobilize my friends to get more people to check.'

Okay, they are also very enthusiastic.

Although there are few engineers, their detection level is indeed more precise than the detection of 50 million people.

Because engineers use something called 'technology'.

Since the audience is so enthusiastic, it's not good to advise people not to watch it.

Pathfinder's water search plan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and some 4K videos will be released every once in a while so that the audience can see more clearly when searching.

Of course, it has been edited.

This is the reason why they dare to release videos. As for whether to release it after finding water, it depends on the meaning of Pathfinder Company's internal affairs.

It's just that people quickly discovered that the American side has also started.

As long as Pathfinder releases a remote control car water search video, the American side will follow up with a flight video of the 'Ingenuity' Mars helicopter.

At first, people thought it was a coincidence, until Pathfinder sent a paragraph, and it sent a paragraph, and it kept going.

Everyone understood: They're fighting again!

The original task of the 'Ingenuity' Mars helicopter was to verify the technology and prove that the helicopter can fly in the thin Martian atmosphere.

If successful, then humans landing on Mars in the future can consider using helicopters for rapid movement.

The test proves: It can fly!

As long as the propeller spins fast enough.

It weighs only 1.8 kilograms, and the solar panel can fly for 90 seconds on a single charge. When it runs out of power, it lands and waits for it to be fully charged before continuing to fly.

It carries a camera, just for taking pictures.

After all, its fundamental task is only to verify flight technology.

Now it has one more task: to find water on Mars!

The newest novel is first published at Six 9 Books Bar!

Don't worry about how the camera finds water, anyway, they say they can find it.

The equipment is installed by them, and they have the final say.

Moreover, the American Aerospace Agency also has its own advantages.

That is, the moon is against Mars, and Mars wins.

Running on the ground is against flying in the sky, and flying in the sky wins.

Although it can only fly for 90 seconds each time, it is still flying.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is benchmarking the remote control car's lunar water search mission.

However, apart from some people who believe in America like crazy, most people feel that the remote control car's water search mission is reliable, after all, they have more equipment.

Although the remote control car cannot go deep into the shadow area, who said that there can be no ice on the periphery of the shadow area?

No matter how slim the chances of the remote control car are, it is still a big guy weighing 500 kilograms, and the number of equipment it carries cannot be compared to a 1.8 kilogram helicopter.

The director of the American Aerospace Agency doesn't care about this, he just blows it hard.

If you don't blow it, the licking dog team will be killed by Dong Wang.

They want to land on the moon tomorrow, but building rockets is not like cooking, you can build three a day, so you can only make up for it on existing projects.

The first thing I thought of was naturally the national super-heavy rocket project, the Long March 9.

America's national project, the super-heavy SLS rocket...

Uh, it's not only a pigeon king, but also two sections shorter than the Long March 9 in terms of tonnage, so it can't even be leveraged.

Fortunately, it is already 'testing, testing'.

After completing the ground test, it can fly for the first time.

It's just that it is now facing an embarrassing phenomenon, that is, it is not the only 'SLS'.

The full name of Pigeon King SLS is 'Space Launch System'. Ma Yilong, who is conducting technical verification of private aerospace Starship rockets, recently unified the name to 'Starship Launch System'.

Now it's good, the first word is different, but the initials are the same, so the English abbreviations of the two rockets are called 'SLS'.

This is simply being attacked from inside and outside, a classic backstab.

Then they thought of the Mars helicopter.

Well, this can fight the lunar remote control car.

Through the comparison of the moon and Mars, land travel and flight, they 'won', but the outside world's impression of the American Aerospace Agency has declined again.

No matter what, it's a bit too bullying to leverage a private company with a national institution.

What?

It's America.

That's all right.

Anyway, they have done a lot of this.

If this continues, and they jump around again and deny Interstellar Pathfinder's right to participate in the lunar landing order bidding, others will not be surprised.

Tang Ye naturally knew the general public's views. After all, they often collected outside information. Since this is the case, then let's add some excitement.

[Interstellar Pathfinder Company will build its own astronaut team and is now accepting applications.]

[Recruitment scope: worldwide!]
