Countless questions hang on the minds of major aerospace agencies that need to be answered urgently.
China's future in the space field shocked the world once it made a move, including the "Gemini Project" that caused an uproar in the world, but a plan is a plan after all, and it is far from being comparable to actual actions.
And the complete success of the "double test flight" mission this time is of extraordinary significance.It will directly make Huaxia Future's influence and status in the field of global aerospace and space exploration technology skyrocket.
Chapter 150 Sixth Influence
Even China's influence in the world has been further increased, especially in the field of space exploration, which is currently highly competitive, giving people a faint impression that the Americans want to be the new "global boss" in this field.
The old Americans have already felt tremendous pressure. This is an unprecedented sense of urgency after the defeat of the former Soviet Union since the postwar period. In other words, they are afraid of losing their status.
The United States has always regarded the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean as the most threatening potential competitor, and has been making efforts all the time to ensure that its position in the world is not shaken, but things are counterproductive.
In recent years, the status of the United States has frequently encountered huge challenges. These challenges come from various aspects and different fields. Its competitor has turned into another behemoth, the Soviet Union, and it is an opponent ten times more difficult than the Soviet Union.
The old US used to compete with the Soviet Union like a down-and-out tough guy, but this competitor is nothing like it is now.
Not only is he huge in size and rich in wealth, but he can also penetrate the opponent frequently, and many times he has won huge victories on the bright side.
In fact, it is not a vested interest, and the opponent can tolerate what ordinary people cannot bear. This is an opponent that is more difficult and difficult to deal with than the Soviet Union.
Lao Mei has a feeling that facing such an opponent, even if she punches hard, it is like hitting cotton, and she is extremely helpless.
It is not terrible to have an opponent, what is terrible is that the opponent has great wisdom. The biggest difference between a "reckless man" and a "wise man" is that the "reckless man" can be tricked by the opponent with a little trickery. This is how the former Soviet Union was played to death by the United States.
But the "wise man" is completely different. If you don't pay attention, you may capsize in the gutter. Facing such a competitor, you must go all out and be careful with every step. Rack your brains.
The life of the old American government has not been easy. Since the formation of the new government, the current situation in the United States has not been improved, and the unemployment rate has not been properly resolved.
In fact, this administration in the United States has done a good job, maintaining the unemployment rate and not making it worse, but the local people don't think so.
Since the then president came to power, the approval rate has gradually declined. Except for "Wisconsin", the approval rate in other large states and regions in the United States has generally fallen below 50%.Faced with this situation, it is estimated that anyone who comes to power is the same.
Washington, DC, White*, Office of the President.
At this moment, the then President, Secretary of State and Charles Boll, the head of NASA, are in the office.
The Secretary of State and the person in charge of NASA were standing in front of the desk with the back of the wheelchair facing them. The two saw a head protruding from the chair, and the president inside the desk was facing them with his back.
"Charles..." The wheelchair turned 180 degrees, and the president, who had his back to the two, turned to face the two, his eyes fixed on Charles Boll.
"Mr. President!" Bor bowed slightly to show respect, said.
"When will the American flag be planted on the surface of Mars? When will American astronauts leave the first human footprint on the surface of Mars?"
The president looked at him: "This is not just a scientific mission, this is a political mission."
"According to the current progress, and..." Bor said immediately.
"Don't tell me this, I just want a result, a date!" The president interrupted Bol, who was preparing for a long speech.
Charles wisely chose to shut up, facing the president staring at him motionlessly, he thought for a while, and then said: "14 months later!"
"14 months is too long!"
The President said: "In 8 months, I want you to land the United States on Mars in 8 months!"
Charles immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Mr. President, I know your urgent hope and the urgent hope of the entire United States, but this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Landing on Mars is not as simple as landing on the moon."
"The Earth and Mars operate in two different orbits, and the best landing time is only when the two planets are relatively closest to each other, but this is cyclical."
"Even in the best landing time, at our speed today, it would take up to half a year to complete the journey from Earth to Mars!"
The president was silent, then asked again: "When is the best time to land?"
"Five months later, Mr. President!" Bol replied truthfully.
The president suddenly frowned when he heard that, squinted at Bor, and said, "It seems that you mentioned that it takes half a year to land on Mars, so why is it 3 months longer?"
Bol replied: "That's right, Mr. President, although we have been preparing for a long time, due to some technical problems, according to the normal arrangement, the completion of the Mars landing with the best input cost should come in the next cycle."
Hearing about the technical problem, the president suddenly became annoyed, and immediately scolded: "Since it's a technical problem, why are NASA and SpaceX still competing in secret?"
"Don't think I don't know the ridiculous contradiction between you, how much does it matter who sends Americans to Mars? Elon Musk, you, the difference? Take a good look at the opponent! Look at Huaxia Future and cnsa (National Aviation Administration) The cooperation between us, we will lose if we play like this!"
"Please, Mr. President!" Bol lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
"nasa and spacex are fully cooperating and concentrating their strengths. All of them have the main task of sending American astronauts to Mars. There is no one. This is a political task. The government will unilaterally issue an injunction on spacex, and Congress will NASA has no additional grant funding."
"Seek spacex at the cost of technology, and learn from competitors' strategies. They stole lessons from us, but they use them better than our own. It's a shame!"
The president took a long breath when he said it out of his head, and then fell silent. Charles Boll is a 'smart' person, and he quickly understood the meaning, and left immediately.
As Charles left, the silent president could not help but sigh: "Technology, this is what the United States is proud of, but today it is troubled by technology. Why is there no talent like Li Linfei in the United States? There is a problem with education in the United States." What are American universities doing?"
The Secretary of State, who had been silent for a long time, said flatly: "Aside from national interests, Li Linfei is indeed a rare talent in human history. In modern history, he can be at the same height as Einstein and Tesla. It is indeed commendable for promoting the progress of human civilization."
"No matter how long it takes, if there is a way and opportunity to kill this person, I will never hesitate. Ensuring the interests of the United States is the foundation of everything!" the president said viciously.
Secretary of State: "..." (I'm still killing it, I'm afraid I wasn't frightened by the attack.)
Chapter 150 Seven Mars
The Secretary of State shook his head with a helpless wry smile, and said, "I think it is basically impossible to assassinate Li Linfei now. Since the attack, the strength of the opponent's protection for him must have risen to a strategic level, which is even more difficult than assassinating the Russian leader." .”
"This person is the individual who has harmed the interests of the United States the most in the history of the United States, and his minions..."
When the president said this, the arrogance of the fire hat suddenly faded by half, and he instantly thought of Facebook, Alphabet, Apple, and even SpaceX.
The total volume of these local large-scale giant enterprises has exceeded 10% of the total annual GDP of the United States, plus its affiliated industrial chains and surrounding chains on which they depend.
It is no exaggeration to say that this can have a major impact on the entire US economy.
And these companies all have interest ties with Xlous Company, and one small move will affect the whole body, not to mention the chaebols behind these companies, those cancers of the United States.
Thinking of this, the president finally realized the helplessness and bitterness of his predecessor. The president of the United States, who has a good appearance and is one of the top three power figures in the world selected by Time Magazine, is still walking on eggshells in the face of such problems, which is extremely difficult.
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and this is the case.He firmly believes that as long as he dares to use too much force, the rebound will be unimaginable, even unbearable. To solve this problem, an unprecedented leader is needed.
A leader with a courage that ordinary people do not have dares to break through and build up, but there has never been such a leader in the United States. This is the eternal pain of the United States.
However, what he didn't know was that Li Linfei also had the deadliest handle of those chaebols, something that could shake the fundamentals of the existing system in the entire Western world. Once the inside story is revealed, it is estimated that World War III is not far away up.
……
The global aerospace field and space exploration activities are stimulated by Huaxia Future, and when the influence and status of Future Technology in this field are skyrocketing, others have not stopped.
Since the beginning of the new century, the new round of the space race has not only involved more "players", but the intensity, depth, and breadth of the competition have far surpassed the space hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century.
