Super technology leader

The more frequent space activities, the more frequent space conferences.

Meriken had a big win in the early stage. Wang was very pleased and decided to invest a wave of money, because he also saw that so far he only has exquisite CG, but hardcore things are not dominant.

Because this victory is imaginary after all, it depends on hard power in the end.

He was a businessman before he became president, and he was still a businessman when he became president, so the most he mentioned after he took office was "money, money, money."

"You must give me money, or I will sanction you!"

"You must pay part of the military expenses for me, or I will withdraw and not protect you!"

"I give you so much money every year, why do you help Tianxia! I want to quit!"

"I don't want to mess with you, I just want to make money!"

"Give me money! I want money!"

"No one understands money better than me!"

Because of this, he once again allocated funds to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Only in this way can the research and development progress of various projects be accelerated.

Today's meeting is to discuss the use and distribution of this money.

The director of the Meriken Space Agency, Jim, said: "Mr. President asked us to accelerate the launch of the SLS rocket to deal with the progress of the Long March 9 in Tianxia."

"From the current situation, the other side’s super-heavy rocket launcher and super-heavy mobile platform have been constructed and are undergoing acceptance, and the Long March 9 first rocket has also been constructed, and various ground tests are also being carried out according to their original plan. Launched in May, it seems that there is no problem."

"If this is the case, we must advance the launch time of the SLS rocket, at least until May, and we must maintain the current victory."

After speaking, he looked at the representative of Poyin Company and asked, "How about? Can it be done?"

Representative Poyin turned over the documents in front of him, and then said seriously: "Yes, as long as we get a grant of 200 million US dollars, we are confident that we will advance the launch time of the SLS rocket to May 10."

As soon as Po Yin's words came out, there was a buzzing discussion in the venue.

"What's the joke, the total amount of funding this time is only 200 million US dollars, if you take it all, what else will you hold?" Someone said directly dissatisfied.

Someone took the lead, and others began to express their opinions loudly, and even those who had a bad temper directly scolded them, and the scolding was quite unpleasant.

The meeting place was in chaos. It didn't look like a meeting in the aerospace industry. Director Jim picked up a small wooden hammer and knocked on the table.

"Quiet! Quiet! We are in a meeting!"

When the conference room became quiet again, he said to the representative of Poyin: "Yes, don't think about 200 million dollars. That is for everyone. You can get up to 50 million dollars."

"You have already overused the previous special funds, and after the extension, you received two separate funds. Mr. President was very dissatisfied with you after learning about it. This time you must make your first flight in May, or Mr. President will sign a presidential decree. Investigate you!"

"50 million dollars?"

Po Yin representative was a little dissatisfied, but after hearing that, he calmed his emotions and said: "If it is 50 million US dollars, it may be a bit difficult, but I need to call back and discuss with the research and manufacturing team. Now, it may be possible to make the first flight before May 31."

Jim nodded when he heard the words, "Go, you have half an hour."

Representative Poyin got up and gestured and walked out of the office to call. Everyone present whispered that a giant is a giant, and its strength in the country is deeply rooted, and it can get $50 million.

Cattle batch.

But it also made other people's faces look ugly. The appropriation amounted to 200 million U.S. dollars. The other party took away 50 million, and the funds allocated to them were less.

Many people in the audience can’t understand Poein’s way of doing things. They obviously have super strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities. However, the SLS rocket project has been delayed repeatedly, and the overall project is almost spent a year of space agency funds, and they can still get money. .

If they had the money, Meriken would have built a colony on the moon!

There is no inside story here, they definitely don't believe it.

It can only be said that industry giants have reached a certain level, which is really a huge impact.

But they are helpless, Boeing is a giant, they are not.

That's why they want to be giants, and they have...

cough.

Others are talking about Poyin, and Jim is also calculating his own account. If the SLS rocket can really be launched on May 31, it can actually be.

Even if the Long March 9 was launched a few days earlier than it, that would be fine. After all, the SLS's payload and flight distance have completely exploded to the Long March 9.

According to the plan previously disclosed by the Tianxia Space Administration, the first flight of the Long March 9 was only a test of its ability to fly into orbit, and it only carried a satellite test platform, which could not be compared with the first flight test of SLS.

The first flight test of SLS carried the "Orion" manned spacecraft to the moon for an unmanned orbiting test mission.

The difficulty level of these two tasks is simply the distance from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

As soon as he thought of this metaphor, he wanted to draw a big mouth to himself, with the ready-made distance between the earth and the moon for comparison, what did he use the metaphor for.

The metaphorical distance is far worse than the distance between the earth and the moon.

But this is not important, anyway, as long as you know that this can keep Meriken's advantage.

As the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, he will definitely be praised by Wang Wang, which is a very high honor for a dogleg.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the table, "Okay, be quiet, what I said before was the official progress, now let's talk about the progress of the private company."

"The origin of space fork and deep blue, your super rockets also need to accelerate the speed of research and development and manufacturing. According to intelligence, the manufacturing speed of Navigator's voyage rockets is also very fast, only a little later than the progress of the Long March 9 Will fly for the first time..."

As he was talking, suddenly a deputy director pushed the door and walked in, and said anxiously: "Director, gentlemen, I think the conference room can turn off the shielding equipment first. You need to read an important news."

If it is an ordinary employee, Jim must have scolded, but if the deputy director can be so anxious, there must be something bad...important news.

Especially for them.

Turn off the shielding device, the deputy director swiftly manipulated the computer connected to the big screen a few times, found a video released by the Tianxia Space Administration, and clicked to play it.

The video content is a CG video of the Long March 9th, which is also very beautifully made, and the quality is as good as the kind they bombed a while ago.

According to the introduction, this is a simulation screen of the first flight of the Long March 9 mission. The time of the first flight is marked on May 3, which is very early.

Even if Po Yin took all the funding, he couldn't keep up.

Seeing here he almost had a myocardial infarction.

"Thanks to the gap between load and distance, we still have to win."

He thought.

Looking back, the latest load of the Long March 9 is introduced. The low-Earth orbit carrying capacity has increased to 190 tons, and the lunar orbit carrying capacity has increased to 60 tons.

His heart is stagnant again.

Pendulum data is also a comparison method.

The carrying capacity of the Long March 9 was originally stronger than that of the SLS rocket, but now it is even stronger.

"Thanks to the gap between load and distance, we still have...win."

Then came the modification of the Long March 9 with a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons. With the recovery model, the capacity is not worse than the first flight.

It's a monster.

SLS Rockets never thought about taking it back.

Fortunately, it was not the first flight this time, but the future plan.

"We have the advantage of load and distance, we will definitely win, we will definitely be able to."

After every new thing came out, he would think about this sentence until he saw the payload of the long nine-first flight.

"It turned out not to be the previously planned satellite test platform, but to a lunar habitation module! WTF??!"

Correspondingly, the first flight plan was changed to fly to the moon.

"Load..."

"distance……"

"Fak..."

"..."
