Super technology leader
Chapter 189 Different Relationships
John has waited for this day for a long time. From the first day he became the commander of the space army, he began to plan the era of real power for the space army.
Originally, he was the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force, but he suddenly became the commander of the Space Force. It was just that the Space Force was poor and nothing. The commander was just a powerful name. In terms of actual power, he did not have the power of his original deputy chief of staff. Big.
But it was impossible to relocate it anymore, so he could only seek the future of the space army and turn the space army into a huge authority like the air force.
But in reality, the space is huge, but the space army doesn't want to be big.
Other troops have all kinds of weapons, all kinds of fighters, and all kinds of funds. Their space army has the right to use a bunch of satellites, and they don't even own the right to belong to the Aerospace Administration.
There are also astronauts, not their "warriors", they are also the "warriors" of the Aerospace Agency.
This horse riding is outrageous.
Even the legendary orbital bomber "X-37B" does not belong to them, because it is still under development and is only in the testing phase.
Just like warships belonged to the shipyard before they were officially delivered to the navy.
But he didn't give up, cough, in fact it is useless to give up, so he can only wait for the opportunity.
He was not idle while waiting for the opportunity. He went through all the information about spaceflight in history, and even read the future space program.
At that time, he ran to the Aerospace Administration every day.
You know, he is the commander of the space army.
If you don't know, you might think he is an employee of the Aerospace Administration.
It's actually very sad.
When he saw a large number of abandoned spacecraft programs, he couldn't wait to go back and choke the project director at the time.
If those projects are not abandoned, maybe the current space army has become Meriken's highest-end real-power army.
At the same time, he is also paying attention to major space events around the world and wants to see if any country will have a huge impact on Meriken's space interests.
Small influence is not enough. It must be a huge influence. Small influence is simply not enough to change the attitude of the president and Congress.
As a result, there is no one who can play in the world, and everyone is very honest!
Just when he was planning to leak some technology to Tianxia secretly so that Tianxia could rush to achieve his goal, Navigator suddenly made a big news.
"Dart X" flew into space.
At that time, he roared in his heart: "This is it!!!"
So according to the plan he had repeatedly perfected before, he immediately began to act.
The situation now appears.
When the goddess of victory was already watching him, the video of "Dart X" returning to the atmosphere and steadily stopping on the runway of the pilot company directly put him in front of the goddess of victory, allowing the goddess to watch him at close range and even to him Smiled.
Although "Dart X" came back after being in space for less than ten hours, it was far behind the time record of "X-37B" in orbit, because the qualified spacecraft of Navigator did not have solar wings and could not be Space replenishes electricity, but Cromwell, a senior researcher, also said that this is just a test machine that can be equipped with solar wing at any time...
And weapons.
And "Dart X" is fine even if it doesn't have solar wing installed. A few hours is enough to do a lot of things.
It can be towed to the end of the runway at any time, then refueled, and lifted into space orbit.
All this can be completed within three hours.
In other words, from the time the order is issued, it can strike any place on the earth within three hours.
"X-37B" will not work, unless it stays in orbit all the time, or it enters space from the ground, and it must be calculated in "weeks".
But it can't stay in space orbit all the time. If it is upgraded to a space fighter, its structure will be much more complicated than a normal artificial satellite, and it needs frequent maintenance.
If it does not return to the ground, it needs to be maintained in orbit, but Meriken does not have the ability to maintain fighter jets in space, and the old International Space Station does not have this function.
The video at the critical moment and the previous horror rendering directly made the congressional masters determined.
Even if the National Aeronautics and Space Administration cannot all be included in the Space Army, some of it must be included in the Space Army, and the rest must be in-depth cooperation with the Space Army.
Obviously, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is still a scientific research institution, but in fact, most of the institutions serve military purposes, and it is no longer as simple as manufacturing and launching military satellites.
In addition, immediately began to transform "X-37B", so that it has the ability to actively attack in the shortest time.
In addition, the Adventure Star project was launched, but the big guy weighed more than 1,000 tons, and it was impossible to build it in a short time, so it was mainly the early stage to build its technical verification machine "X-33".
Because this type of aircraft cannot take off horizontally on the runway, it can basically target the "space fighter" of the company.
However, these things certainly cannot disclose the true purpose. Before they have completely torn their faces to the outside world, they need to put on a scientific research vest.
Moreover, the plan to return to the moon and manned landing on Mars cannot be stopped, but the official does not do this, and it is completely outsourced to a private company, and the official takes the lead.
In this case, there are many things that need to be adjusted, the most important of which is the issue of funding, which must be tilted from other aspects.
This is why all members of Congress are required to be present.
When it comes to aerospace, it is not a simple aerospace project. It will definitely require a billion or tens of billions of investment in it. Where to move it out is a big question.
The easiest, perhaps, is to let the Federal Reserve print money to directly suck the blood of the world.
As for the President's proposal to impose sanctions on Navigator, the lawmakers also agreed.
To sanction, the first is to disqualify the other party from participating in the moon bidding.
Although they have already opened another moon landing plan internally, the previous framework has been thrown away, but the official has not officially released the news, so the qualification for the bidding of the pilot company's moon landing plan is still there.
But in the current situation, sanctions must be made and an official statement must be issued. However, this statement cannot be issued directly. There is a reason not to fall on Meriken.
Then came the formal sanctions.
After the meeting, the space agency will hold a meeting to study the decision.
"Okay, then the first motion: the space agency connects to the framework of the Space Force..."
The speaker looked at everyone and said, "Everyone will show their hands to vote."
………………
Meriken is certainly not the only one who pays attention to the flight test of Navigator's "Dart X". It is also not only Meriken that thinks of special uses.
Tianxia is also watching.
The sunset glow hung in the sky, the sunset reflected the clouds into gold, and the sky became red. It was extremely beautiful.
The Tianxia Space Agency and the Ministry of National Defense are also holding a joint meeting, and I also watched the "Dart X" return to the screen with a delightful eye.
It's just that the content of their meetings is much easier. This comes from their deep cooperation with the boss of the leader company, so that they can directly ask Tang Chao for some relevant information.
The information he received was naturally very positive, and even Tang Chao planned to sell them related technologies at the beginning, but it was not officially used for commercial purposes, only for personal use.
It doesn't matter whether it's using this technology to develop real space fighters or whatever, he doesn't care, as long as he doesn't grab the leader's commercial market.
This is naturally no problem, not only will it not seize the commercial market, but also ordered one as a tool for astronauts to travel between the space station and the ground.
Although Tianxia Space Agency has a new manned spacecraft, the navigator's space plane...cheap!
The Tianxia Space Agency, who is careful to live a life, knows the best.
The officials also reciprocated themselves. In addition to the normal trading gains, the officials also told Tang Chao to be careful of Meriken during this time.
I'm all concerned about the military use of "Dart X". Meriken, the largest military organization on the planet, cannot fail to pay attention to this situation.
If Tang Chao was in a small country, someone might already have come to "visit".
