The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 49 The Space Race

The European Space Agency also started a moon landing program. Just after the World Astronautical Congress, the European Union approved a proposal to promote the development of aerospace science and technology. After this proposal, the European Space Agency's annual budget will be doubled.

European countries have realized that competition in space is inevitable and they must seize the opportunity!

There are even radicals who claim: "The age of space navigation is coming, and we must recreate the glory of the 17th century!"

The space race and the scramble for land on the moon are such lively events, and India, which claims to be a world power, cannot help but join in the fun.

The Lunar 2 spacecraft they launched in 2019 crashed on the lunar surface. At that time, the Indian Space Agency announced that it was suspending the moon landing plan and instead aimed at Mars, hoping to overtake in a corner.

Now they have discovered that the lunar territory may be occupied before they can land on Mars, so they immediately announced that they would cooperate with Russia and the European Space Agency to re-formulate the moon landing plan.

The people of the island nation were not to be outdone. The aerospace research and development agency of the island nation immediately updated its moon landing plan...

After more than fifty years, a new race to the moon has begun.

On the track, the United States is far ahead, Russia is closely behind, and the Chinese are catching up.

China Space Administration, lunar landing engineering team.

"The Taiyin lunar spacecraft has been manufactured, the Xingkong 2 nuclear thermal rocket is ready, the Yutu 3 lunar rover has been manufactured, and now only part of the Laurel lunar module is left unfinished." In the lunar landing project command office, Xu Lianqiu said.

She serves as an information officer in the team, collecting and processing various information.

"How long will it take?" Du Xingyu asked.

"According to the Aerospace Engineering Design Institute, it should be completed in thirteen days." Xu Lianqiu said.

"Thirteen days, plus various parts of the test..." Du Xingyu counted the days and said, "It will be around the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"If we speed up the progress, can the Mid-Autumn Festival be completed?"

Everyone thought for a while and said: "It's almost that day, it's a bit rushed. I think the Mid-Autumn Festival launch is good."

"Yes, this is a good day. As long as the weather is okay, we should be able to catch up."

"The launch will be launched during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's tentatively schedule this date and try to make all preparations before the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Du Xingyu said.

The Chinese Space Administration has not yet announced the official moon landing news, but the American Space Agency has released the news.

At the latest press conference, NASA spokesman Anderson said: "Thanks to the attention of the entire American people and society, our "Return to the Moon: Project Artemis" is proceeding very smoothly."

"Currently, the Vulcan launch vehicle manufactured by the United Launch Alliance has passed the test. It has surpassed the Saturn V rocket in the Apollo program, and its carrying capacity has increased by 3.8 times!"

"In addition, we have also completed the acceptance of the lunar landing spacecraft - the Starship that SpaceX is responsible for manufacturing. I have to say that they did a great job!"

"The lunar lander 'Blue Moon' designed by Blue Origin has now entered the delivery period. We will carry out a manned mission to the moon in mid-October. Please stay tuned. The Stars and Stripes will be planted on the moon again. On the soil!”

When Anderson finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

On that day, the "New York Times" devoted an entire article to reporting on the United States' "Artemis Return to the Moon Plan." And said: "There is no doubt that we are still the greatest country in the world, with the most developed aerospace technology!"

"When the Star-Spangled Banner is planted on the moon, America will be great again!"

Domestic media, self-media, also forwarded this news.

On the DouSheng short video APP, the news account "Kawachi Observation" with 100 million fans also "observed" this news, attracting countless viewers to leave messages.

"Are Americans so fast?"

"One thing to say, Americans' aerospace technology is still amazing!"

"When will our red flag also be planted on the moon?"

"@National Space Administration, where is our moon landing project? Why has there been no news recently?"

“Suddenly I remembered that I should go to @Du Xingyu’s account to update!”

Du Xingyu has not yet opened a short video certification account, so a large number of fans and viewers went to Station B and left messages under his account "Interstellar Explorer" to urge updates.

"Brother, I miss you. When will you update the video?"

"Master UP, please don't update the mail blade again!"

"The author is dead. If you have something to do, burn the paper!"

"Please live broadcast!"

…

Of course Du Xingyu saw the message. The rush effect of the moon landing project was obvious. Before the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, their preparations were basically ready.

According to meteorological satellite observations, the Changhai Satellite Launch Center, the launch site of the "Taiyin Lunar Spacecraft", should have satisfactory weather conditions during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival launch of a manned moon landing spacecraft is already a certainty.

Now, Du Xingyu has one more thing to do.

"Leader, I apply to enter the lunar landing spacecraft and land on the moon with the lunar astronauts!" Du Xingyu said seriously in Cao Liang's office.

"This..." Cao Liang hesitated. Du Xingyu had already mentioned this to him, but he always disagreed.

Cao Liang originally thought that Du Xingyu just wanted to pursue excitement or for other reasons, but Du Xingyu had found him many times because of this matter.

"Xiao Du, you have to know that this is no joke!" Cao Liang also became serious. "During the moon landing, any small or even uncontrollable factors may lead to failure!"

"I know, but I have a reason to go to the moon!" Du Xingyu's attitude did not change at all.

There was always a question hidden in his heart. In the real world, he had already planned to land on the moon ten years in advance.

So, will the asteroid in the dream still hit the earth?

Du Xingyu has been paying attention to the information from the Astronomical Observation Center, and no asteroids have been observed flying towards the earth so far!

But Du Xingyu is still worried. The technology simulator has said that space-time bombs will affect the space-time line, just like the butterfly effect. The influence factors initiated from the microscopic level will bring about unpredictable disasters that destroy human civilization!

He wanted to know if the changes he had made were actually useful. If we land on the moon early, will the earth still be hit by an asteroid? Du Xingyu wants to land on the moon to verify this! If it happens again, at least I will have a chance to think about the future on the moon.

The power of space-time bombs cannot be avoided by hiding in a space base. It is like the "god of death" that controls everything, leaving you nowhere to hide!

"What's the reason?" Cao Liang asked.

"As for the thoughts in my mind, it can also be regarded as a technological guess. It is difficult to say now, but it is very important! Very important!" Du Xingyu said.

"Your reason is difficult to pass..." Cao Liang was confused. Du Xingyu is now an indispensable talent for the space agency, and no one is willing to let him take such a big risk!

"I believe in my design and my team." Of course Du Xingyu would not joke with his own life. He designed the rocket, spaceship, lunar module, and lunar rover for the moon landing.

During the verification process, repeated tests were conducted. In theory, the probability of an accident is the same as flying on an airplane today.

"I believe it too, but it's not about this issue... It's not something I can decide alone..." Cao Liang's position has been promoted, but what Du Xingyu said is really too important.

"Boss, no matter what, this request is approved. Let me put it this way, if I don't go to the moon to verify my ideas, it may affect our subsequent space programs!" Du Xingyu said again and again, "I swear, this It's definitely not a joke."

"Okay...I'll try my best to apply with them." Cao Liang said helplessly. He knew that Du Xingyu was not a person who made decisions blindly.

Thanks for the bloody hummer, Dancing Master, the maple-frosted road, and the dazzling and sinful rewards.
