This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 161 Human... Fate

"The SLS rocket is ready! "

"SLS rocket can take off! "

"Man will land on the moon again! "

"The Commonwealth of Liberty will go to the moon after 50 years!" "

"The Commonwealth of Freedom Will Lead Man to the Moon Again!" "

"Freedom Federation, Light of Mankind!" "

As soon as the Gisenili war ended, people immediately found a new hotspot, or it was this hotspot that took the initiative to stick to people's faces.

At that time, many people were still discussing the "swarm drone" and "cheetah battle armor". Suddenly, social platforms, new media, traditional media, etc., seemed to appear in all places. The news that led humans to land on the moon again.

Ordinary people immediately started to watch the excitement, while some insiders were worried about the ability of the Freedom Federation to use its social platforms that circulate around the world to influence world public opinion.

There is no way, some countries don’t even have their own internet and social platforms, all of them are free federal things, what people say is what, let you watch what you want to watch.

Not to mention those small countries, not even the developed countries in Europe. As long as they want to start their own big Internet companies, they will definitely be sanctioned by the Freedom Federation.

So there is no way, in the face of the free federal Internet social platforms and giant Internet companies, all they can do is to fine them, and then continue to let these things talk nonsense.

This seems like an unsolvable thing.

Then these experts began to watch the fun.

As for the SLS rocket, there are also experts in science popularization.

As we all know, the development of the SLS rocket has been seriously delayed, and even according to the schedule of the Federal Space Agency, it has exceeded the time limit. Not only has it been postponed several times, but there is even the possibility of further delays.

Many people think that if Fanxing works hard, they might be able to land on the moon together.

Why is it so sudden now?
The old Ace Pigeon SLS rocket was proposed after the space shuttle Columbia crash 20 years ago, and even then the name and design was not what it is now.

At that time, the Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to abandon the technical route of the space shuttle and develop the "spaceship" instead, and proposed the "Constellation Project" to return to the moon and head to Mars. The main launch tool is a heavy rocket based on the space shuttle engine. Mars".

However, after the original commander-in-chief surnamed Ma came to power, he immediately cut off the "Constellation Project", which included the "God of War" rocket, and planned to use commercial companies to undertake subsequent federal space launch services.

There is no way, the new commander-in-chief always likes to ignore the achievements and projects of the previous commander-in-chief when he comes to power. This has become a tradition.

But Congress thinks that is inappropriate. If the country does not support it, commercial companies will definitely lose the industrial base, and the Federation will no longer be able to manufacture heavy launch vehicles.

After all, the moon landing that the Federation wants is not just a moon landing, but will bring many industries and technologies along with it.

So Congress forced the Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration to develop a heavy-duty rocket. After repeated back-and-forth between Congress, the General Commander, and the Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration, the SLS rocket was officially approved 10 years ago, becoming the only national-level rocket in the Federation after the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle. Super Heavy Space Launch Vehicle Project.

However, the SLS rocket project belongs to the project, and it still cannot hide from commercial companies. For example, its main contracting company is Poe Incorporated, which developed the Saturn V. Soon, the SLS rocket project became a large annual budget of the Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The Federal Space Agency has repeatedly increased its total development budget. As of last year, it is said that it has almost risen to 190 billion federal currency.

It is not easy to develop a super-heavy rocket. If you start from scratch, then 10 years is not too much time, and it is even relatively fast.

But the SLS rocket was not developed from scratch, and its starting point is still very high, or quite perfect.

The core stage of the SLS rocket uses 4 hydrogen-oxygen engines. These engines are not newly developed, and they do not even need to be developed. They are the RS-25 high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen engines inherited from the space shuttle.

The development of this engine can be traced back to seven or eighty years ago. After long-term development and actual flight, it has been very perfect. This type of engine has been used on the space shuttle for more than 80 years and has flown more than 20 times without any problems.

In fact, the biggest obstacle in the development of new rockets is the new engine. If the first type of rocket uses a mature engine, then the progress of subsequent development work can be very fast.

For example, with the support of Lucia's mature engine, the Federation's "Atlas-5" quickly changed from a design drawing to an actual model, and the launch success rate was very high.

In addition, the booster used by the SLS rocket also comes from the space shuttle, but it only extends the two solid booster rockets by 25%, and it also cancels the need for reuse.

After it becomes a launch and throw it away, the booster does not need to consider the issue of reuse in the future, and many designs and materials can be saved.

As for the storage tank that provides fuel for the RS-25 engine, that is, the frame and fuel tank of the first-stage rocket, it is far inferior to the external storage tank of the space shuttle in terms of length and diameter.

It is installed inside the rocket, and the design requirements for structural strength are much simpler.

From this point of view, as the general contractor of the SLS rocket, Poe Sound Company is not under too much technical pressure, and there are not many major technical difficulties.

However, under such circumstances, it took nearly 10 years for Poein to manufacture the first stage of the rocket. This cannot but be said to be a problem in project management.

Or rather...on purpose.

Of course, it is also possible that Poyin has just started to go downhill. After all, it has indeed experienced more and more safety accidents in recent years.

Rocket development itself is very difficult. The bigger the body, the more difficult it is to power, attitude control, and vibration suppression.

Beyond that, super-heavy rockets have their own unique set of difficulties.

A super-heavy rocket lifts an object of several thousand tons from the earth, lets it fly at supersonic speed under the interference of air flow, and then throws off the stages one by one, and finally enters the predetermined orbit precisely.

During this process, if there is a failure that affects the flight, the priceless rocket will fall back to the ground and become a pile of wreckage, without even a chance to make an emergency landing.

Too few opportunities for trial and error is the biggest difference and the biggest difficulty between super heavy rockets and other super projects.

In contrast, aircraft carriers, large aircraft, and accelerators can all be tinkered with while testing, even if they are down, there is still room for repair.

If it is a small and medium-sized rocket, you can spend more money to improve the design in the early stage, even if you fail a few times in the early stage, you can afford it. As long as the technology is mature, large-scale production in the later stage can dilute the research and development expenses.

But the super-heavy rocket is not a matter of spending "a little more money". The cost of the Saturn 5 super-heavy rocket during the Apollo program was very high, and it was compared to "throwing away a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with one launch."

Few countries can afford the cost of repeated failures of super-heavy rockets. At the beginning, Lao Maozi's N-1 super-heavy rocket was forced to dismount because of 4 consecutive failures, and it completely lost the chance of manned landing on the moon.

It is often exaggerated to say that it even indirectly led to the demise of its country.

Fortunately, such a situation has not happened to the SLS rocket. After all, it has not even launched, so naturally there will be no failure.

But the Rockets, which have high hopes, have been postponed, which is definitely not a problem.

Later, many dignitaries in the federal political circles said that it is not necessary to stick to the current moon landing time node, and it is not impossible to move it later.

Some people said that some deletions and changes can be made to the moon landing plan, so that the moon landing can be carried out before the promised moon landing time node.

But the "return to the moon" project will definitely not be dismantled, and the newly appointed commander-in-chief Dengzi will continue to carry out this super-heavy rocket that burns money.

Facts have proved that this project really went ahead, and even the words of the two groups of people in front have been confirmed.

The timing of the moon landing was first moved back by one year. It seems that they wanted to ensure the rigor of the plan, but now, the rocket’s first flight time has been advanced, and even the later moon landing time has been jumped forward by another year.

In other words, the time for the Federation to return to the moon is still within Deng Zi's tenure.

People suddenly understood why this thing was ahead of schedule.

But so early...

"Is it reliable?"

"I don't know, but since the Freedom Federation dares to do this, it should be reliable."

"I also think there is no problem. Decades ago, they were doing live broadcasts with scumbag quality. This time there will definitely be high-definition live broadcasts. Such an important task can't be joked about."

"It's enough to be reliable. Although they belong to different countries, and the mental state of the Freedom Federation is not good, we still need to support the matter of humans landing on the moon."

"I have some gossip here, I don't know if it's true."

"Whether it's true or not, Hisoka."

"That's right, it's a long-winded one."

"I heard that the Freedom Federation made a lot of money, and then distributed money to various projects. If the money is enough, the progress will naturally be fast."

"Good guy, is there such a thing?"

"If it's true, it's actually quite reasonable."

"Fuck, if the Freedom Federation speeds up, what about our side?"

"I don't know, anyway, there is no information about any new manned rocket or Long March [-] rocket."

"I know that the progress of the 'Three Artifacts' of the Long March [-] rocket is not bad, and I have seen news about the [-]-meter rocket body, but there is no project approval."

"Is this intended to successfully study all the subsystems before the overall project is approved?"

"What are the three artifacts?"

"It's the engine of the first stage rocket, the engine of the second stage rocket and the engine of the third stage rocket..."

With the release of the heavy news from the Freedom Federation, a big discussion around the world began, which was more than the previous discussion in Gisenelli's war.

After all, Gisenili is too small and has little influence in the world, but the fact that humans landed on the moon again is too big!

The current Internet is basically dominated by young people, and these young people have never seen the grand occasion of the last human landing on the moon, and it is difficult to feel that way no matter how many videos they watch now.

Of course, people who are very old may have an impression, but the live broadcast at that time was too sloppy, and the time was too long, many people's memories are blurred, and they really want to watch it again.

Both young and old are interested, so there is nothing to say.

Moreover, the fact that human beings leave the embrace of the earth and go to the moon... is indeed much more stylish than human beings fighting to death on the earth.

Of course, some people are happy about this and some are not.

Because Dengzi finally chose to launch within a week!

As for the allies, sorry, wait until next time.

As for allies, they are used to cheat at critical moments, and this is not considered cheating. It just makes them wait for the next time, and it does not deprive them of the opportunity to "land on the moon".

And why is this happening? It’s not that the development time of the allies is too long. It’s okay to delay something as big as the SLS rocket.
Therefore, the main responsibility does not lie with the Federation, but with the allies themselves. Allies should take the initiative to find reasons for themselves.

Anyway, after the incident happened, Dengzi found that the incident was smaller than he had imagined, because the Freedom Federation was too powerful, so strong that he didn't need to take into account the feelings of allies because of these trivial matters.

After a day of hype, the doors of the vertical assembly building are open.

It is the largest spacecraft assembly building in the world, with a height of 158 meters and an area of ​​about 8 hectares. It was originally built to meet the assembly of the Saturn V rocket.

The original Five-Star Five completed the feat of man's first moon landing, and now its successor, the SLS rocket, also departs from here.

It is inlaid with the largest gate in the world and it takes 45 minutes to open!

When it was opened, the sound of shutters outside was already heard, and a large number of people and reporters stood in the viewing positions and were excitedly filming.

"Amazing! Awesome! I finally see this day again!"

"Dad, don't get excited, pay attention to your heart."

"Hahaha, it's okay, I know my own body!"

"This is the light of humanity!"

"This is the crystallization of human wisdom!"

"This is simply a miracle of God, and it will definitely fly to the moon with God's blessing."

"That's right, this is God's will."

"I want to write a song for it, praising the contribution made by the black employees at the launch center. There cannot be no black people in this world. Black people are too important."

"Hey man, that's a great thing to say! I support you!"

"Please bring the name of our organization, our organization is called 'Black Wisdom is Wisdom', we have paid too much for the Freedom Federation, we want to fight for rights."

"And us, we're a gay community and we contribute a lot too."

"The same goes for our Small Animal Protection Association. The first creature in the world to enter the sky is actually a cute puppy."

"I agree, our puppy protection association fully agrees with this sentence, this is our fundraising website, please donate some money."

"I've heard that there are a lot of GID people who work at the space agency, and I want them to be treated as they should."

"The same goes for us vegetarians..."

"And us, we refugees also want to contribute to the federation, please give me some money."

"And we LGBTI..."

"Consumed ~ Daddy ~ You!!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Dad, Dad, what's the matter with you?"

"My heart, my heart, fuck, why did the Freedom Federation become like this, how can I do a manned moon landing with these people!"
