Just as Huaguo cheered for the heroes' triumph, the news of the return of Xiangrui was also reported to the world through the reports of the overseas media of the central media and the public statements of various organizations such as NASA, ESA and Russian Space Agency. Every corner.

Almost everyone, after hearing the news, the reaction was no surprise.

Prior to this, the North American media has been reporting on interviews with NASA experts. Although the auspiciousness has a 25-ton land-to-month transfer orbital capacity, it may face the same failure as the Soviets due to the rush of the moon landing plan. ending.

However, the reality is like a slap in the face, not only hitting their faces, but also breaking their fantasies.

Xiangrui not only successfully returned to the Jinling Space Launch Center, but also brought back three astronauts and a moon with a total weight of more than one kilogram.

Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to face a terrible reality.

The Huaguo, which uses the electric propulsion system to achieve cornering overtaking in the aerospace field, is catching up with them at an incredible speed.

Today is a lunar module and a national flag, so what will tomorrow be? What about the day after tomorrow?

There is no gap without comparison. Although we can't say that Nasa's research in the field of outer space has not progressed for half a century, the pace of development is undoubtedly much slower. Nowadays, China has embarked on the moon, and Nasa’s lunar space station plan has not been activated until 2022. The Ares plan has been thundering and raining since its announcement until now, and no actual action can be seen.

All the Americans who are concerned about this matter can't help but grieve their doubts and even anger.

What are their nasa doing?

In such a public opinion environment, the local media in North America began to change its direction.

From the scorn of the technology of China's aerospace, it became the "anger" of Nasa. Especially in the New York Times, the opinions of nasa experts were adopted in several interviews. However, after the report was published, it was indeed continuously hit, so that this time they did not invite Nasa experts, but directly Pointing the muzzle at nasa, putting a line of gunpowder-like headlines on the headlines of the latest edition of the newspaper -

"When the Chinese nation was on the moon, what were our people doing? 》

Coincidentally, when the New York Times began to attack Nasa with love and hate, the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post also attacked Nasa’s inaction from different angles and questioned it. What is the use of funds several times or even dozens of times a year in China?

Among the many media, the most cynical cnn political channel, even called for the establishment of a special investigation team to check Nasna's budget list for these years, and claimed that there is a shocking shady scene.

For a time, nasa was also overwhelmed by the people who were excited.

In fact, if the evaluation is pertinent, the results achieved by the United States in the aerospace field in these years are not small. The boundary of its exploration has even reached Pluto, and the two traveler detectors have already set foot in the field outside the solar system.

However, all these achievements sounded far less shocking than the moon landing.

After all, the probe is farther away, and it is also a detector. It is far less than the human footsteps to go further outside the earth, and it can stimulate people's senses.

In the face of the thrilling people, it’s obviously not just nasa. When one thing is enough to affect the country’s cohesiveness and affects the votes in the voters’ pockets, it’s not just a technical issue, but a political governance. problem.

The authorities promised that the United States will continue to be great.

However, these promises are things that need to be fulfilled, and they can be fooled by the past.

Now the target of the media attack is still nasa, but according to the general situation, this fire may not be used for a long time to burn to the head of the White House...

......

White House.

In a conference room.

At the same conference table as the previous one, in addition to a few raw faces, sit in the same crowd as the last time.

When the current president came in, everyone stood up to show respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down."

When I got to the main seat and sat down, the president looked around the conference table and stared at NASA director Carson for two seconds. Then he took back his gaze and said: "I need an explanation."

Carson and the deputy director looked at each other and finally took a deep breath and stood up and said.

"We have smashed the determination of China in the aerospace field... and the technical strength. Their application of the electric propulsion system exceeded our expectations. Before that, we never thought about the situation of electric power and working fluids. It can also provide thrust comparable to chemical rockets. It has proven that electric propulsion systems are also feasible for climbing gravity wells. At present, we have combined pppl laboratories, MIT and other research institutes to improve electric propulsion systems..."

Knocking on the table interrupted Carson's chatter, the president reached out and pinched his eyebrows and said impatiently.

"how long it takes?"

Carson squatted slightly and then smiled bitterly.

"This... there is no way to expect that before solving the thrust problem, we must first solve the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization."

Before solving the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization, the problem of controllable fusion must be solved first. Although intuition tells Carson that solving the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization may not be as difficult as imagined, at least there is no difficulty in controlling fusion engineering itself, but now analyzing these things is useless.

After all, according to the results of the negotiations, at least next year, the two sides will be able to reach a technical exchange in the field of controllable fusion.

And the price is not small...

The president’s face was not good. “If there is no way to expect it, please stop your fart. What I need now is a solution, not listening to you explaining your incompetence!”

As soon as I heard this, Carson almost didn't have a blood spray.

Shet!

Not you have to ask for an explanation?

Of course, although he spoke in his heart, he naturally could not say so.

Silence for a little while, he coughed and continued.

"Of course, we have come up with a coping strategy... and we have already talked to our Vice President before the meeting."

The president turned his attention to the vice president, and saw the thin old man sitting at the vice table of the conference table nodded and said with a speedy madness.

"Before the meeting started, I talked with Mr. Carson for a while. His proposal was quite good, although it was a little risky."

Although the vice president is only a mascot in American politics, if the power is not political, the power of the strongman may not be comparable to the governor of New Jersey, but it can also play a role at a certain time.

For example, in the case of nsc reorganization, and the vice president personally coached.

In many cases, the president has no way to directly take care of things in the aerospace field. In most cases, it is coordinated by the presidential administrative office and the vice president himself.

“Adventure?” The president frowned and looked at Carson and asked, “What adventure.”

Carson took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My advice is to start the first phase of the Ares program and send our life support unit to Mars!"

The president frowned. "... Is this also a plan? And if I remember correctly, the test of the life support unit is not over now."

"It's true, but time has not allowed us to wait any longer. As you said, if it doesn't have big problems, we should believe that our technicians have done their best," took a deep breath. Tooth, Carson continued, "If you omit some troublesome procedures, we will be in the half year at the fastest... No, it only takes two months! We can send it to Mars!"

The voice just fell, and a voice of discussion sounded at the conference table.

Carson is also sweating before his forehead.

Because he knows that his proposal is quite risky.

Or it is not just an adventure, but a gamble, holding the astronaut's life to be a bet.

After the tragedy of Columbia, few people dared to do this!

Sure enough, a serious middle-aged man stood up and stared at Carson sharply, opening his mouth.

"Director Carson, can I guess if the procedures you are talking about are referring to those 'necessary test links'?"

Facing the attack of the president's administrative office consultant, Carson explained with a hard slogan: "The testing process is not necessary... In fact, we are technically able to ensure that the life support unit can run stably with at least sufficient power. More than two years."

The man continued to send: "What do you use to guarantee?"

The Carson language plug, when I didn't know how to answer, the president suddenly spoke.

"He is right."

“Sometimes we should be flexible, especially in the face of a good-natured opponent. Isn’t the National Space Committee established for this?”

When he heard the president mentioning himself, the vice president smiled and reached out to tie his neck tie.

He usually has a low sense of being, and only in this case can show others their sense of existence.

The words of the president caused a lot of people to whisper, the person who had previously attacked Director Carson hesitated, but still insisted.

"Mr. President, I must remind you that this is not in line with the procedure."

"Not so, the test doesn't have to be in the Arizona desert, or in the desert of Mars," Carson said immediately. "We can send the life support unit first, then start it remotely to see if it works." If we can, we will send the astronauts up."

Although he does not agree with this kind of adventure in his heart, he has not taken care of this.

As he had previously stood in the satellite control room, as his secretary said.

Nasa needs a victory.

The United States needs a victory!

If not...

Both horizontal and vertical are the road to resign and resign.

As a result, he has no other choice at all.

"Just as he said, send the life support unit to Mars to test," seeing the annoying guy still intending to say something, the president knocked on the conference table with a pen. "There is no time to waste us, Chinese people." After provoking this competition, every minute is very valuable to us!"

With the eyes, the person who got up before sat back, and the president then turned his attention to Director Carson.

"Mr. Carson, I hope that after two months, I can open champagne with you and celebrate our success at the White House banquet. Please don't let me down, otherwise no one will sympathize with you!"

The meaningful eyes made Carson's head ooze a few cold sweats.

Even so, he still swears his head and swears his right hand on his chest.

"I promise you."

"God is on our side!"
