Chapter 559. 557. The real advantage

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States.

On the big screen, it was their president: an old man with standard blond hair and pale face painted orange.

They had already received the news of the successful test flight of the aerospace plane immediately.

However, not only did the entire NASA not have the momentum to catch up with enthusiasm, but each of them drooped their heads like frost-beaten eggplants, not knowing what they were thinking.

Perhaps it should be said that the eloquent Mr. President on the big screen doesn't know what they are thinking.

The repeated reductions in funding over the years have made them lose their aggressiveness, and maintaining a minimum research effort is the best choice they can make now.

Decades of technological protection have made China's aerospace strength stronger and stronger.The only international space station in space will be decommissioned in a few years, and by then the only space station "Tiangong" will be China's.

Imagine that every time they want to do a space experiment in the future, they have to seek help from a country that is restricted by their technology. These aerospace workers will feel that their eyes are dark and they can't see the future.

After the decommissioning of the International Space Station, Russia chose to join China's Tiangong project. They have been discussing the cooperation of the new space station with the European Union, island countries, South Korea and other countries.As soon as there are more people, long-term wrangling and financial problems will come, and the space station has not been able to enter the launch process.

Originally, in their eyes, this was still a suspenseful competition. Perhaps the next president would be able to figure out everything and vigorously promote the development of the aerospace industry?

but……

The news that a little-known private space center suddenly announced the successful test flight of the aerospace plane made them completely confused. This is not just a question of surpassing their previous steps.

In the field of space, China once again surpassed them, and the balance of the world game has completely tilted.

Obviously, such news made Mr. President's faction...or Mr. President himself a little anxious.

Since he took office, he has not had any obvious political achievements, and all good news has been obtained by withdrawing from the group, shrinking, plundering, and consuming the world's discourse power.

For a businessman, an Internet celebrity businessman who may only have four years of "peak life", this may be the best plan he can come up with.

And usually at such times, he would cash out at a high position and then leave, allowing the company to go bankrupt and reorganize, while he waited for a period of time to seek a comeback and another wave of opportunities.

But governing the country is different from doing business after all. Now not only can't find good news to pay attention to hype, but it has been hit head-on by "rivals", which makes Mr. President very anxious.Since this period of time, it has been attacked by the opposition party.

The next election is coming, and they must make a big news in the only time they have, and completely overwhelm the "opponent".In this way, the election will be more beneficial to their party, otherwise they may lose in the general election, lose their dominance, and even face the risk of being liquidated.

"How is the space station project going?"

Mr. President with a golden retriever on the big screen finally remembered the topic of the call.

It was NASA's external spokesperson who was in charge of answering questions. He cleared his throat and said in a normal reporting tone: "Mr. President, the project has basically been prepared. In only half a year, we will be able to launch the first phase of the space station experiment." cabin, but the funds are on us..."

"We don't have half a year, at most two months... No, in one and a half months, I will see our own space station go up to the sky!"

"Sir, the rocket launch needs debugging time..." the spokesperson said anxiously, the debugging task could not be completed in one and a half months, which is simply whimsical.

It's a pity that he thought too much. This Mr. President didn't allow anyone to question his opinion at all.

"No pull, no pull, no pull..."

"Sir, this is impossible, our technology is not up to it yet."

"No pull, no pull, no pull..."

"Sir, as I said, this is unrealistic, we..."

"No pull, no pull, no pull..."

"gentlemen……"

"..."

"Shut up, no one knows rockets better than me, do it right away. This time the launch must be successful, let those people see that no matter what time it is, we will always be number one in the world."

Mr. President was somewhat satisfied with his performance, pursed his lips, and turned off the video call.

…………

At the same time, a hidden research base on the west coast.

A group of people just finished watching the live broadcast of NASA's classified video call.

"Our Mr. President seems to have found another interesting toy. Should we find something for him to do, so as not to come out to make trouble at a critical time."

"The clown? Just let him mess around, just buy us a little time."

"I don't know much about airplanes. Is that aerospace plane so amazing? Can it be cheaper than a recoverable rocket?"

"I have some experts under my command. According to them, the aerospace plane has no equipment loss. If the technology is mature, it can be done. However, if we can continue to reduce the loss of the rocket, then under the same conditions, the rocket is still more fuel-efficient. It also costs less.”

"Let me just say, if rockets don't save money, why are all countries researching rockets?"

"But……"

"Okay, that kid from Musk brought us something good this time. It won't be long before our global networking plan can be realized. By then, all aerospace planes will be just toys."

…………

The mysterious plane tested by Xihuang Space Center is an aerospace plane!
Once the explosive news was announced, another uproar was set off.

Even Lu Yuan, who has never been interviewed by reporters, accepted an exclusive interview for the first time this time, and publicly spoke out for the test flight of Houyi-[-], which attracted countless attention.

Those who stood at the focus of public opinion stepped forward in person, and the whole public opinion boom turned instantly.

The real person Lu Yuan appeared on the scene brought public opinion to the highest point, and also made the negative impact of the previous "hype concept" rumor attack disappear all of a sudden.

On the contrary, Xihuang Space Technology Company, which originally only occupied a corner of the news, has swept all the media heat and become the focus of heated discussions in the streets and alleys.

The memory of hot spots of public opinion is so short, and Pangu Technology seems to have a faint tendency to disappear from the public eye.

Under such a strange trend, Xihuang issued another announcement that the second lift-off test of Houyi-[-] will be carried out in two weeks.

And this time, it will be the first space flight test of Houyi-[-].

If the second test is successful, the first manned flight test will be carried out two months later, and the out-of-cabin test will be carried out.

Within half a month, two test flights, within two months, three test flights...

At this point, the real advantages of aerospace aircraft are undoubtedly revealed!
