Super technology leader

Lucky Ah Man: [Are there any private aerospace companies in China participating in the Lunar Grand Prix?]

Ah Ah Naming is Really Hard: [I don't know, but my classmate's company isn't going. They have the heart but not the strength.]

Tian Lingze: [Private aerospace companies in China aren't considering that right now. They're all thinking about how to get into orbit, similar to our country's strategy. Stabilize in orbit first, then think about lunar exploration and deep space.]

Jade Clarity Taoist: [It seems a few teachers from my alma mater are planning to participate. They're very strong, but I don't know if the school will support them.]

Space 233: [The school should support something like this, right? Doing it in their spare time won't interfere with teaching duties, and if they win, the school will also gain prestige.]

Cultivator of the Divine Land of Red County: [We've improved this time. Last time for the Lunar Grand Prix, our country even cooperated with the Iron Cross. Now we're doing it ourselves?]

Dreaming of Chang'an: [That was many years ago. China's technology has grown a lot in recent years. There won't be a shortage of people with these kinds of ideas.]

Post-Pump Swing: [Actually, I'm not very optimistic about the Chinese teams participating this time. Even if they design a probe, so what? China's private aerospace companies don't have rockets with large payloads. Getting into orbit is difficult enough, let alone launching a lunar payload. And who knows if the foreign private companies will launch for us.]

Silent Sea Azure Sky: [Yeah, China's private aerospace technology is still lacking. We should just honestly play with amateur rockets. This amateur rocket competition is actually not bad. The prize money is quite a lot, and the domestic regulations are clear. If we can get the prize money, we can also start a private aerospace company and work hard. We'll eventually become big and strong.]

"As expected of a tech group, they're very realistic," Tang Chao thought, observing the group in secret.

But there's no way around it. It's the gap in overall technological level and development time. If Tianxia had started following the world's trends a hundred years ago, then now…

Well, it's impossible to predict, because there are no ifs in the world.

Fortunately, he has the Kerbal Space Program cheat. This "if" should be able to be filled in a short time.

Now that he has money and doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, he needs to pursue something at a higher level.

With such a cheat, he himself should be able to reach the peak, but using the cheat to reach that step would reduce the sense of accomplishment a lot.

Of course, he's not a fool who would leave the cheat unused and insist on struggling on his own.

If the sense of accomplishment of reaching the peak himself is less, then bring more things to the peak together.

Suppose there's a cheat for insulation and oxygen maintenance. Climbing Mount Everest himself would definitely be a bit boring, but if you use this cheat to bring a regiment of people to Mount Everest, the feeling would be different.

He doesn't know if the aloof Mount Everest will transform into "Mount Everest of Zuan," but thinking about that regiment of people looking at him with admiration, that feeling must be good.

His current goal is like this: first fulfill some of his own small wishes, then satisfy some small wishes of others, then satisfy a small wish of a country, and finally lead the entire human civilization to the stars.

Of course, of course, all wishes must match him. He won't do things that go against his preferences.

In the end, these are all his own wishes. It's just that some wishes happen to be the wishes of the public.

After the professional experts in the group said enough, Tang Chao privately messaged the silly group admin, who was the guy who said the amateur rocket competition was crushed by the Lunar Grand Prix at the beginning.

This guy's online name is "Calm Fanatic," his real name is Shi Bailang, known as "Waverider Lang," is a junior at Northern University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and is also a member of his fan group. He's quite familiar with him.

When Tang Chao contacted him and explained his intentions, he was first stunned, then realized something, and became a little embarrassed.

Waverider Lang: [So, Brother Tang, you're from that Interstellar Pathfinder company?]

Tang Chao: [Yeah, isn't it obvious enough for the people in the group?]

Seeing Tang Chao's reply, Shi Bailang thought, 'It's obvious, but if you don't issue an "official statement," who knows if you really are?'

But it's also because they were too cautious in their guesses. First, there was the suddenly appearing 300-ton solid rocket test video, then Interstellar Pathfinder suddenly emerged and made big news, plus Tang Chao's online name. As long as you're in his fan group, you can quickly connect these things together.

Even if he doesn't come out to explain, it can basically be confirmed.

It's just that because of this epidemic, many people have learned to let the public opinion fly for a while, and learned to wait and see and be cautious.

Generally, they wait for the official to come out to explain or wait for the storm to settle before they can know the truth.

It's also because of this caution that they haven't firmly believed in the relationship between Tang Chao and this Interstellar Pathfinder company.

Now it's finally confirmed.

Then…

Waverider Lang: [Then, boss, when did you open the tech group?]

Tang Chao: [Just now]

Waverider Lang: [That's good.]

Tang Chao: [That is, when you said the amateur rocket competition is not as good as the Lunar Grand Prix.]

Waverider Lang: [……]

[orz… I kneel to you!]

Tang Chao: [You're welcome. Hand over all your senior brothers and sisters who are about to graduate and those who have already graduated but are free recently.]

Waverider Lang: [Understood, please rest assured, I will contribute them all.]

This guy disappeared for a while, probably went to find people, but quickly came back online.

Waverider Lang: [By the way, group owner, the 'Kerbal Space Program Lunar Landing Department' team in the list announced by the American Aerospace Agency earlier wouldn't be you, right?]

Tang Chao: [Oh, sharp eyes, guessed it?]

The newest novel is first published on Liǔ.9.Shū.bā.!

Shi Bailang's mouth twitched when he saw this reply. Probably only you in this world would come up with such a name.

But in this world, only Tang Chao's team has replicated the rocket engine from the Kerbal Space Program world and received personal certification from the Kerbal Space Program game officials.

I have to say, Tang Chao is indeed qualified to use such a name.

This is a true fan, and a hardcore true fan!

Extremely hardcore!

If you just want to fly to the moon, solid rockets shouldn't be able to do it, right?

During this process, the engine needs to be turned on and off multiple times, and the switching time and thrust must be very precise, and even have to adapt to changes. Solid engines can't do that.

Or is it as the fans guessed, Tang Chao's team or that Interstellar Pathfinder company, being idle… cough, used true love to replicate the liquid engine from the Kerbal Space Program game?

So he carefully verified with Tang Chao, and Tang Chao naturally confirmed his verification.

So…

Waverider Lang: [Ahhhhh, boss take me, I want to join the team, build a Kerbal Space Program probe to land on the real moon! This linkage between virtuality and reality, I'm dead!!]

Tang Chao: [You don't need to ah, you have no chance. This team doesn't want juniors. Your outstanding senior brothers and sisters who are about to graduate might have a chance.]

Waverider Lang: [……]

[Crying silently.jpg]

[Lying down and crying.jpg]

[Crying until fainting.jpg]

Faced with this series of picture attacks, Tang Chao was helpless.

Sci-fi game nerds and real technology nerds are really unbearable. The more you learn, the more you understand the gap between fantasy and reality.

Finally, there is a chance for a dream linkage, but he doesn't have a share. If he were Tang Chao, he would definitely cry too.

He thought about it, then why not… start here.

Tang Chao: [Okay, stop crying. The idea of this plan is 'Ambitions of Game Players'. At that time, I will collect a batch of Kerbal Space Program game players' names and engrave them on the lander, so that they can ride the lander to the moon together. How about I pre-determine one for you?]

Waverider Lang: [!!!]

[Brother Tang, wait a moment, I will tie up my senior brothers and sisters and bring them to your company!!]

[And the ones with the best grades, wait for my good news!!]

[Ahhhhh, I'm fired up!!!]

PS: ( p′︵‵。) I also want to land on the moon~
