Chapter 885
"Hello, I'm Jim Breeden, Administrator of NASA."
Jim restrained his emotions, forced a smile and spoke.
"Kane Hebraham."
Kane pushed up his thick glasses, looked around expressionlessly, and ignored Jim's outstretched hand.
Jim's face turned dark. He was already in a bad mood, and now the higher-ups sent someone to show off? Isn't this a problem for him?
"The Hercules super-heavy rocket was designed and developed by Mr. Kane."
The assistant next to him saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and hurriedly spoke to resolve it.
Jim felt a chill in his heart and pulled him back from the edge of a complete explosion. The way he looked at Kane also changed.
He no longer dared to underestimate Kane and was so indifferent to his just now. Li, the unhappiness disappeared.
The new Hercules launch vehicle that appeared some time ago easily sent the Falcon spacecraft into space.
And he also heard that that was just the first type, and there was a more powerful Hercules 2.
They landed on the moon The launch vehicle used in the plan is a modified version of Hercules 1, not counting Hercules 2. Anyone who has seen the launch vehicle knows how powerful the designer is.
This kind of person has a weird personality. It's normal. It's not like he has never seen R&D personnel with eccentric personalities.
This time, the superiors really didn't send a capable person here. Jim's unhappiness in his heart was much smoother.
"Go to the launch center and give me your launch plan. Kane said expressionlessly.
"OK"
Jim did not neglect, called his assistant, led Kane and others out of the office,
Japan, Kagoshima Space Launch Center.
This is affiliated to Japan's Space Science Research Institute, and is the launch site of Japan's deep space rockets.
It has been used for decades, and now The launch plan is still implemented every year.
Edo Castle looked at the launch tower of the Myu launch site calmly, with pride and ambition in his expression. In a small country, there are two space launch sites, and this can be seen in just this small way.
Their country Their ambitions are never small.
They are located in Japan where disasters are frequent and resources are scarce.
Disasters every year remind them to have a sense of crisis, so they are always looking for new territories.
Therefore, they have a heart that is consistent with their own strength. Ambition that is completely inconsistent with it.
For them, the arrival of a new era is another opportunity for them.
China has successfully landed on the moon and retrieved the moon rocks, taking the lead in the upcoming changes.
There are no oil resources on the earth. Their share, but it is different on the moon.
As long as they develop technology, the helium-3 there is inexhaustible.
It is endless wealth, and it is also where they fulfill their imperial ambitions.
China has the Chang'e Project, and the United States has the Hercules Project. , Europe has the Dawn Plan, and Maozi has the Yuri Plan.
They Japan also has the"Tsukiyomi Plan."
The Age of Discovery will make Great Britain, Japan, an empire that will never fall.
If they succeed, even if the next Japanese country does not belong to them , but they can definitely become one of the world's great powers.
In recent years, they have suffered too much from the United States. Once the change comes, it means chaos.
It is also their opportunity, an opportunity to be on an equal footing with the world's great powers.
"Director Edo, the base called and said that the manufacturing of the rocket is nearing completion and will be completed in about a month."
A female assistant came over and interrupted Edo City's thoughts.
"Oh, I see."
After the female assistant left, Edo City continued to look at the launch tower in a daze.
One month is neither long nor short.
No one can say for sure. Perhaps, this is where their empire will set sail.
……
South America, North Atlantic Coast, Guyana, home to the European Space Launch Center.
Ariane launch site 2 is busy at this time.
As the director of the European Space Agency, Jan Werner was also on site, following the progress of preparations for the site.
Soon the rockets will be shipped in for assembly, and this time their goals are clear.
It is to start the long-awaited 'Dawn Project'.
The Dawn Project is a European lunar landing plan. It has many similarities with the United States' new space program"Project Hercules". The main contents of the plan include: conducting a series of unmanned lunar explorations, including lunar orbital exploration, lunar exploration, and lunar exploration. Soft landing and lunar rover survey.
Achieve manned landing on the moon and establish a lunar base.
Use the lunar base as a springboard for manned Mars exploration.
The plans all use lunar exploration as a technical exercise to establish a lunar base.
Then, on the basis of developing lunar resources, we will use the moon as a springboard to implement manned landing on Mars.
The plan was proposed as early as 2004, but has been postponed under various excuses.
Their launch of the lunar satellite Wisdom 1 completed its mission.
There have been no new lunar probes, and no lunar landers have been launched.
During this period, China successfully surpassed them and successfully launched the Chang'e lander, becoming the third country to land on the moon.
In recent years, China's development has become even more terrifying.
First, there was the landing on the far side of the moon, and then recently, the Longteng Group successfully entered space. The space craze has emerged, and countries around the world have to pay attention to this matter.
Countries in Europe that are still in dispute have to blend different opinions at this moment.
Unite. Their long-awaited Dawn Project finally made new progress.
Nothing is possible without progress. Now that China's nuclear fusion power station is about to be successfully put into operation, the resources on the moon are particularly important.
The past was the age of petroleum, and the future will be the new energy age of nuclear fusion.
Helium-3 is the next 'oil' and no one wants to be left behind
"How long will it take for the rocket to be built? asked Werner
"Claude just replied that it will take about ten days. It will take half a month to send it here."
The assistant next to me said
"Half a month? Just right." Werner said.
As long as the probe successfully lands on the moon during this launch, it will be of great help to their future plans.
The participating countries will also give them more research and development expenses.
……
Baikonur Cosmodrome, this space launch site was built in 1955.
It is the spacecraft launch site and missile test base of the former Polar Bear Empire, located in a desert area of Khastan.
This was once the largest space launch site in the Polar Bear Empire and the place where the human space dream began.
After the disintegration of the Polar Bear Empire, Maozi signed a lease agreement with Kazakhstan in 1994.
The space center was reactivated. Decades later, it is still an important place for the world's aerospace industry.
Mendeleov looked up at the super-heavy rocket standing on the launch tower, pointing straight into the sky.
The wrinkled face looks full of stories.
The rocket in front of me is Maozi's latest super-heavy rocket - the Polar Bear series.
This rocket also has a story.
Its predecessor was the N-1 rocket that the former Polar Bear Empire prepared to use for manned moon landings.
N-After 1 rocket failed to launch continuously that year 4, the former Polar Bear Empire had to suspend the manned moon landing plan. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection,
