This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 171 Counterattack Plan
It can be said that the think tank is still very useful, no matter how awesome the starry outpost test cabin is, they still came up with a good idea.

Just like Fanxing re-opened a track and then started their own advantageous events, they can also play like this.

"We can't keep up with them in the lunar resident plan. Even if we move the Artemis later stage plan to the front, it's too late. Their lunar survival module has already been manufactured, and the lunar module of the Artemis plan is still under design. .”

"Yes, just like the first flight of the SLS rocket a few months ago and the assembly of the Long March [-] is only now beginning, this cannot be caught up."

"Fortunately, we have other plans to advance in the same period. We can also reopen a track like them, and then use the early advantage to win the first place in the new track!"

"What do you think of the project of manned landing on Mars? This is a plan we have always been ahead of, and the progress of Interstellar Exploration Technology Company is very fast. Mr. Emma's stainless steel interstellar spacecraft super rocket is quite powerful. As long as we provide some help, It is estimated that it will take off soon.”

"No, it's too difficult to land a man on Mars, it takes too long on the road, and there are more chances of accidents. It can't be done without 100% certainty."

"Yes, although Mr. Emeron's stainless steel interstellar spaceship super rocket is powerful in theory, it still doesn't have the ability to enter orbit, let alone the ability to fly to Mars. If safety tests are added, it won't take five or six years. There is no hope at all in this time frame, and even if it can be realized within ten years, it is considered fast, and we need projects with a faster time frame.”

The plan to land a man on Mars is indeed powerful, and it sounds shocking, and it will definitely shock a large group of people when it is said.

In addition, Emeron has been promoting his super rocket for manned landing on Mars. Everyone knows that the Freedom Federation has this plan. Temporary announcement of the pressure stationed on the moon.

But just like most people objected, this plan took too long to prepare.

According to the analysis of experts in the aerospace field of the think tank, the first flight of the Long March [-] rocket over Fanxing is estimated to be about half a year slower than that of the SLS rocket, but it is not too slow.

In this calculation, the time for the other side to land on the moon will not be much later than the time for the Freedom Federation to return to the moon.

Probably in three years from now.

So, if the opponent's first flight goes well this time, and the landing of the outpost test module goes smoothly, within three years, Fanxing's first manned landing on the moon will be the first time that humans will begin to stay permanently on the moon.

If the Freedom Federation's manned landing on Mars plan is implemented, there will definitely be a big news at the beginning, but after a long time, as Fanxing people begin to reside on the moon, Fanxing will win.

Because at that time the Freedom Federation's manned moon landing plan was still in the preparation stage.

"A plan that is fast and has great achievements, in fact, the Mars sample return plan should be able to do it."

Sogard, the space agency's technical director, said.

Hearing what he said, those who knew frowned first, and then showed a look of understanding, while those who didn't understand the situation asked, "How do you say?"

Su Gedel said: "It's like this. Everyone knows that the 'Perseverance' rover that landed on the surface of Mars last February is actually just the first step of a big plan."

"It will carry out the Martian sample collection mission according to the 'site caching' strategy while carrying out the inspection mission. It carries 43 sample preservation tubes, which will be loaded with carefully selected samples of Martian rocks and gravel. After being sealed, it is guaranteed not to be damaged. any pollution."

"In the original plan, the entire collection mission would last for several years, some of the sample tubes would be stored in the 'Perseverance', and the other part would be stored on its travel route, and a batch would be stored at intervals to reduce the risks. Spread out."

"And during the three Mars transfer windows, that is, six and a half years later, we will launch a probe that can take off from the surface of Mars and enter orbit, land near the landing site of "Perseverance", and release a mass of about 130kg, which is the size of a coffee table. mini transfer vehicle."

"The transfer vehicle does not carry scientific instruments. Its job is to collect the sample tubes stored by the 'Perseverance' along the way, and then load them into the probe's mini rocket. The collection process is expected to take nearly 6 months."

"At that time, if Perseverance is still working normally, it can also deliver the remaining sample tubes to the small rocket, which divides the risk. In case one car goes on strike, another car will work."

"After another Mars window, that is, two years and two months later, we will launch a device that can return from Mars to Mars orbit. The mini rocket will lift off, dock with the return device, and send the sample tube into the protection of the return device. Inside the hood, the final sample weight will be between 600 and 800 grams."

"This kind of protective cover is like a nesting doll, with 4 layers of protection to ensure that the Martian samples will not leak and pollute the earth, and at the same time will not be polluted by the earth. After the handover is completed, the mini rocket is separated from the return equipment, and the returner flies to the earth."

"After entering the earth's orbit, there are actually two options. One is to land directly in the western desert and then send it to the ground laboratory for research. The other is to be captured by the International Space Station and use the space station as a 'firewall' to directly research in the space station."

"Just ten years later, I don't know what will happen to the status of the International Space Station, so the last step is still undecided..."

Sugeld became more and more excited as he spoke, because this was indeed a very grand plan, but he was interrupted by the commander before he could finish speaking.

"Sugard, I want to remind you that the reason why you can talk about this plan is because the 10-year manned Mars landing plan is too long, so don't talk about things after 10 years, just talk about it How could this sample return program be faster, okay?"

"..."

"Okay, to put it simply, we can shorten the 10-year period to about 3 years. The Perseverance will not conduct long-distance cruises, but only sample at close range."

"Next year will be the next Mars window. At that time, two rockets will be launched at one time, and the mini-rocket and return equipment will be launched together. They will fly for seven months. After reaching Mars orbit, the small rocket will be landed on Mars. After loading, let the small rocket transport the sample to orbit, and then dock the return equipment and wait for the real plane to return to Earth."

"In this way, the Federation will be able to obtain Mars samples in about three years. Although the number of samples is not as many as originally planned, it is definitely the only one in the world!"

"And according to our understanding, Fanxing has no plans for Mars in a short period of time. According to their steady and steady character, they will stay on the moon for a long time, so within these times, we are absolutely the only ones in the world on Mars. countries that have made significant progress."

After hearing the plan, Dengzi was overjoyed, "That's good, I'll take this!"

"Okay," Sugald nodded and said, "Because the time is shortened, there are some key technologies that need to be resolved urgently, including non-traditional Earth-fire Hohmann transfer flight, extraterrestrial planetary sample collection and preservation, sterilization and Planetary protection, first Mars launch into orbit, sample Mars orbit handover..."

"The most important thing is that you have to add money, otherwise there is no way to finish it in time."

Deng Zi said: "These are easy to say."

As a general, his knowledge of spaceflight is definitely not as proficient as professional spaceflighters, but he also knows the distance standards in the field of spaceflight.

It must be more difficult the farther you go.

Also know that Mars is a big hit, a major milestone.

It's only about three years, which seems to be a bit beyond his current term, not enough insurance.

So a closer plan is needed!

At this time, it is the turn of commercial aerospace companies to appear. There is no chance for them to perform on Mars missions. Their current performance venue is near the earth.

"Mr. Datong, we can also develop commercial space station projects. This is our advantage."

"How to say?"

"Sir, it means we are more advanced, we have more space stations."

"The International Space Station is indeed very old, and there are often various problems, and it has even become the object of jokes by other (fan) and other (xing) countries, so we need a new space station."

"Several aerospace companies had plans for commercial space stations before, but they were aborted due to technical and financial problems. At that time, it was aborted, and it was nothing. But the situation is different now. We must have a commercial space station to showcase the Federation. advanced."

"And now that the federation has entered the stage of 'returning to the moon', the funding in this area has also been enriched. As long as there is support, commercial aerospace companies can complete the construction of commercial space stations in a very short period of time."

"The most important thing, sir, is to build a space station...everyone on earth can see it, but Mars is so far away from us that people can only see a point of light, and so far that communication has to be delayed for several 10 minutes, It’s so far away that people don’t have any concrete concepts!”

If Dengzi felt that the previous words made sense, the latter words completely excited him.

That’s right, there are particulars in doing things. Some people have done very good things, but because many people don’t know about them, it seems to many people that they didn’t do them.

But some people just do a good deed and happen to be seen by others, then someone will publicize it for them and let more people know about it.

If the person who happens to see it is a reporter, then more people will know about it, and even add some material to make that person look even more awesome.

In fact, this kind of thing is often done by the Federation. For example, in the previous World War, they filmed a large number of TV movies. After watching those TV movies, many people think that all the important transition points of that war were made by it. Same.

This is not to say that it is necessary, but some people really think so.

And there are quite a few of them.

So once the plan to support the commercial space station came out, Deng Zi immediately agreed.

The matter of sampling and returning from Mars is really awesome, it is indeed tall, but its distance is indeed far away. It takes several months to launch a spacecraft from the earth to fly there, and this kind of opportunity does not come every day. It will take more than two years. The time is only so ten days.

With such a long distance, it is impossible for the aircraft to send back messages every day during the flight, and even if it sends back messages, ordinary people cannot understand them.

If you don't understand it, people will wonder: "What's the use of this thing?"

So things that happen in Earth orbit are still exciting.

Astronomy enthusiasts can see it with a telescope, and the beautiful scenery of the earth captured by the space station is also uploaded to the Internet in real time for people to see.

How good is this?
"very good!"

Deng Zi is happy, and the matter is settled.

The people present asked him about the development of commercial space stations, and he found that the plan was indeed great.

Some companies already have space station cabins, but they have not yet been completed, but the company has gone bankrupt. As long as the money is paid, production can be resumed immediately, and then test launches can be carried out.

For launch missions, you can find Interstellar Exploration Technology Corporation, and its Eagle [-] rocket can do these businesses.

Although some companies' commercial space stations are still in the design stage, it doesn't matter. Commercial companies are the best at publicizing, and they can completely blow up a plan in the design stage as if it has been completed.

As long as public opinion rises, it will be beneficial to the Federation.

The current situation is that it is not suitable for any war, especially the size of the Free Federation and the Starry Republic, so it can only rely on this kind of thing to gain and consolidate its international status.

However, these plans still need to be discussed and discussed, and the specific plans must be changed, so that outsiders cannot see that they have rushed into these plans because of the appearance of the starry outpost test cabin.

And those commercial aerospace companies were naturally ecstatic when they got the news. When they started the "return to the moon" plan, they received more and more attention. Some plans can apply for more and more themselves. I didn't expect this time Another pile of money fell on them.

Even some companies' commercial space station plans are thrown out to collect money, and they are thrown away after completing the mission. I didn't expect to launch it again to make a lot of money!
thank God!
Thanks Fanxing!

Thanks for Practical Technology!

When it comes to the stars and practical technology, when the Freedom Federation makes detailed plans, the international public opinion center is still their side, and even the aerospace enthusiasts in the Federation who did not receive the Stars space news before know, except for some of the stars. My friends told me directly, and it was recommended to them by the smart applet that comes with the "Freedom" mobile phone.

They love this feature.

This function is very smart, knowing which aspect of information they like, and it can also break through the invisible information blockade of the Freedom Federation.

But this matter should not be publicized. The federal people don't trust the federal government, and only trust the genes of what they see.

The "Freedom" brand of phones, which have only recently hit the market, are cheap, powerful, and popular with young people and geeks alike.

It is not easy to buy, and the output is relatively small.

I heard that its R&D headquarters is in San Diego, and it is a very powerful and socially responsible company.

I hope this company can become bigger and stronger.
