Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 770: Three Warriors

Every time space is an adventure, every test on a new spacecraft is a gamble.

Until the spacecraft was truly in heaven, no one knew how it would end.

Two pairs of fixed wings at variable angles allow the Sauvignon to have a more flexible injection direction, but at the same time add more risk to its wing components.

Even if the servomotor control system that drives the wing steering is designed with the help of Em, the Ark does not have a complete grasp of the test flight of the Xia Guang, it will surely not encounter an accident.

It can only be said that he will make every effort to minimize this possibility…

In the second half of the meeting, the discussion focused essentially on the timetable for the test flight of the Xia Guang and the launch plan for the node compartment of the Palace next month.

According to both the Aeronautics and Space Groups, the next launch was scheduled for one month later. When the node compartment is combined with the core compartment, the Lunar Palace, floating in the lunar orbit, will have more room for expansion and will also be able to dock with manned aerial vehicles such as the Xiangrui.

In this way, although it seems pockety, it can barely be counted as a “port” in the true sense!

At the same time, the United States, far across the Pacific Ocean, was not idle when the post-daylight test flight and the next launch plan were on the agenda.

With the successful remote activation of the life support module through ground station control and the completion of the training of three volunteers, Americans no longer seem to have reason to wait.

Immediately after the Congress approval process was passed, NASA announced in a high-profile manner that the Ares plan would move forward to the next stage.

That is, send out the first colonists!

When the news came out, there was an unexpected global boom.

Although sending colonial pioneers to Mars was a nail on the board, no one expected Americans to move so quickly or even so hastily.

Perhaps the tight pace of the Chinese nation in space really made NASA nervous, and they were eager to prove to Congress and their people, through a great victory, that they were awake in taking control of space hegemony.

Prior to the departure, the New York Times and Columbia Television, under the auspices of companies such as the North American Foundation for the Exploration of Outer Space, and space-X, arranged a grand talk show for three volunteers.

This is both a farewell to the three heroes before they go, and an advertisement as a large volunteer.

The third phase of the Ares program will drop 10 functionality compartments on the surface of Mars in batches, and will drive 50 colonial pioneers to Mars Village within five years. How to eliminate fears of going to space and the unknown for participating companies such as NASA and Space-X is equally relevant to the sustainability of the Ares program…

Everything was ready, and the day the talk show began, dressed in a slightly fancy suit with a texture, famous talk show host Jamie Tong walked up to the stage and bowed slightly to the audience sitting under the stage in front of the TV, then smiled with white teeth.

“Hello, hello, welcome to our Space Warrior Talk Show, today is a feature show, only one issue all season, if you accidentally brush it in front of the TV, you must earn it! ”

By making the audience under the stage laugh, Jamie Tang skillfully stirred up the scene and turned his gaze to the big screen behind him.

“The content of today's show is that we don't need any more bullshit, our opponents throw the Lunar Palace on the Moon, and our NASA is going to blow them up - not physically, of course, but on this stage, beating them to the teeth. ”

Just kidding, Jamie looked down at the audience laughing left and right, laughing and continuing.

“Calm down, calm down, everybody, calm down. We know it's easy. Although our opponents are strong, they're at least 60 million kilometers away from us, so I say it's easy, because our victory is almost doomed! ”

After a pause, Jamie smiled and lifted his hands, raised his voice and continued to speak in a generous and exciting tone.

“So instead of calling it a race, I prefer to call it an adventure! Our warriors, our heroes, will cross tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of kilometres of shipping routes to the unknown new continent to soil our civilization. ”

“From the start of this great plan, our opponents have never been a country, just ourselves! And it is only the future of us and humanity that deserves to be challenged by our warriors! ”

The atmosphere on the scene was pushed to its peak.

This was read out acutely, and Jamie rationally brought the show to the subject of today.

“It's a great honor! On this special occasion, we had the privilege of inviting three of our heroes to our show! Let's applaud them! ”

The atmosphere on the scene was ignited.

The applause sounded like a thunderbolt, mixed with the whistling and cheering, almost overturning the entire roof.

In this thunderous applause and loud BGM, the three astronauts stepped out in a pre-arranged sequence and walked to the guest table, where they sat at Jamie's invitation.

The applause came to an end with BGM.

Jamie raised his microphone to his lips and smiled at the audience underneath.

“I am honored to present to you the commander of this moon climb, Johnson, sitting on my left! Once in the Marine Corps, he was a true warrior and patriot, let's give him another round of applause! ”

The applause rang again.

Johnson smiled politely at the audience and nodded.

Waiting for the applause to stop, Jamie smiled at Johnson, stretched out the microphone in his hand, and nodded his head: "Looks like everyone loves you. Say hello to our audience! ”

“Hello, I am the commander of this expedition and I am honored to be here to meet you. ”

Johnson is a mature, steady, typical middle-aged white man with a masculine appearance and a strong body, and is easily likable in both image and conversation.

The audience under the stage listened very carefully as he explained some of the unknown details of the second phase of the Ares plan.

Finally finishing his lines, Johnson glanced at Jamie standing beside him.

Jamie continued with a smile.

“Heard you served on an aircraft carrier before? ”

“Yes.”

Jamie went on to say, "What interests you in space? Or, let you decide to sign up for Ares. ”

Johnson thought about it and replied, "Because of dreams, because of interest in traveling… and also for my children. ”

“Your child?” Jamie looks at Johnson in surprise, reaching out to the microphone in his hand, "can you elaborate? ”

In the United States, the family is an eternal topic, especially when it comes to children.

Johnson paused for a moment and continued.

“I had a wife and two lovely children who wanted their father to be a hero, and I wanted to be a role model for them, so I filled out the application form on the official website of the Ares program, just trying it out, I didn't think… it was amazing, I was successful. ”

Jamie laughed, "Fate is always so wonderful, I'm sure your child will be proud of your bravery! ”

Johnson nodded.

“Thanks.”

The camera started to rotate, switching from Johnson to his other two players.

Another female astronaut looked good, blonde, about 20 years old, named Jones. Seems to be a little uneasy because he hasn't experienced any big scenes.

According to her introduction, she was a secondary school teacher in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, before enrolling.

And the other black dude, Tevy, looks a lot bigger than Johnson, and he's got a lot of energy. According to his own introduction, he had previously been a professional football player and had served as a quarterback in Atlanta.

I just don't know why, at the time of the interview, his spirit seemed a little depressed, as if he hadn't slept well all night.

Jamie flirted with the vibe.

“You must have fallen asleep excitedly last night, and it looks like you're looking forward to this trip. ”

“Maybe...” Tevy smiled a little reluctantly and made a brave expression, “I'm just too tired, you know, training is hard. ”

“Relax, my man,” Captain Johnson patted him on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and we'll sail back safely and bring back the glory of America. “

“Of course, we will come back...”

Tevy tried to squeeze out a smile, but his eyes were subtle and somewhat uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jamie did not continue to ignore him, throwing his gaze at the audience and pushing the scene to its peak with a generous and exciting voice.

“Our warriors are ready to go! The giant ship of the expedition is about to sail! ”

“Launch time is next Wednesday at 8pm and CNN will be live at the launch site! ”

“God bless our warriors, the torch of the Statue of Liberty will guide their course! Let's give our warriors our most sincere blessings! ”

“Praise them! ”

The studio was again filled with applause.

In a round of applause, the show came to an end.

Whether it was done intentionally or unintentionally, the launch time of the Golden Heart, announced in the programme, was almost the same day as the launch plan of the Shuttle Xiaguang announced by China.

It seems that both sides are no longer satisfied with the compartmentalization and intend to fight in close proximity.

This competition seems to be getting interesting...
