As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 207 Moon Orbiting Space Station

"In the past two years, China's development in the field of science and technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. In many fields, we have caught up with or even surpassed developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Like the Huaguo Seed Industry Group, the development in the past few years is so fast that I can't understand it. A large number of high-quality genetically modified seeds not only occupy more than 90.00% of the Huaguo market.

The seeds of Huaguo Seed Industry Group also accounted for more than 60.00% of the genetically modified seed market worldwide, forcing Monsanto to lay off a large number of employees worldwide.Even Bayer's entire branch related to the genetically modified seed industry has been laid off.

The seed industry giant Syngenta acquired by Huaguo before has been fully taken over by Huaguo Seed Industry Group. Syngenta, who was unwilling to let Huaguo intervene in their work before, is now begging Huaguo to take over in full.

Deep Blue Storage's bio-storage server is the only one in the world, and American and the Europa Alliance are even willing to open a certain opening to China in terms of the Pakistan Agreement in order to import Beiming-[-].

Our traditional strength in the field of spaceflight has even successfully launched the first moon-orbiting space station in human history before American.

Recently, it seems that astronauts are going to perform scientific research missions on the lunar space station soon.

The above are all government-led scientific research projects. Huaguo Seed Industry Group and Deep Blue Storage are central enterprises directly managed by the government.

In the government-led scientific research projects, our progress in the past few years has been amazing, but the development of the Internet giants in the scientific research field has been lacklustre.

On the contrary, traditional manufacturing companies have good R&D output, and the profits of these manufacturing companies are very meager.

On the contrary, these Internet giants in Huaguo have gained a lot of profits by relying on Huaguo's vast market, but they don't have much hard technology to show.

Take Goose Factory as an example. As a de facto monopoly in the social field, it earns a lot of money by holding traffic portals and selling various skin-changing games.

The net profit of more than 2000 billion yuan per year can only be model innovation, and it will not contribute to the technological development of Huaguo.

Ari came up with cloud computing at any rate, and Goose Factory saw that other people's cloud computing was very effective, so I also built a Goose Factory cloud.

Huawei's annual profit is about half of that of Goose Factory, but Huawei's R&D investment is nearly three times that of Goose Factory.

Although Huawei has many controversial points, it is much stronger than Goose Factory in terms of R&D investment.

The private enterprises with the top domestic net profit all want to follow the path of others and imitate other people's products, which is plagiarism to put it bluntly.

It is said to be an Internet giant, but how many influential open source projects have really been made?
In the past two years, it has been a little bit better. At any rate, a VR operating system has been developed.

The biggest gap between us and American lies in the contribution of private enterprises to the development of science and technology. The gap is too far.

American has a series of giants such as Apple, Google, SpaceX, and Oracle that have technological innovations in different fields.

There are also open source companies such as RedHat, OpenStack, and MySQL AB. These are what I know, and there are countless R&D companies that focus on subdivided fields.

The private enterprises in Huaguo that really ate up the resources invested little in research and development, and produced almost nothing.

Instead, it relies on manufacturing companies with meager profits to produce output.

Before Merlin appeared in front of the global audience, many people already knew about it.

It was also at that time that domestic giants began to aggressively recruit fresh graduates from the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy.

At that time, graduates from the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy could get higher salaries than code farmers because they knew the existence of magic coin.

And the existence of magic has been confirmed from some sources.

Huaguo's rapid progress in the field of scientific research, I suspect that it has a lot to do with magic.

Having said that, why is Apple the first company to dig out magic coin?

It is determined by the genes of the enterprise. Although domestic enterprises have resources, they do not have the corresponding environment and mechanism.

The past causes the present effect

I believe that the first giant in China to dig out magic coin is either Huawei or a science and innovation creature. "

The news of Apple's acquisition of the Magic Brain triggered heated discussions around the world. Except for American, no other country thought that Apple would publicly obtain the live video of the Magic Brain.

Scientists who consider themselves the best in their field are interested in magic and the systems behind it.

A large number of self-recommendation emails were sent to Apple's designated mailbox.

While the outside world was turbulent, American successfully completed the moon landing plan.

Lindgren led Hines and Watkins to the moon.

Among them, Lindgren and Hines are white men, and Watkins is a black woman.

Watkins is the first black woman in history to fly to the International Space Station.

In 2024, American has a manned moon landing plan, and no one can object to letting her go up.

"There needs to be a black footprint on the moon." A black political campaigner after Watkins successfully landed on the moon.

The combination of two whites and one black is perfectly in line with American's political correctness.

"Apollo NO.18, the moon landing program has finally restarted. You know, I was always obsessed with the story of Apollo's moon landing when I was a child."

"That's why I grew up to be an astronaut."

"But I never imagined being part of the Apollo program and restarting Apollo 18."

Lindgren had emotion written all over his face as he chatted with Watkins before takeoff.

Lindgren is telling the truth. Before becoming an astronaut, he was a doctor of medicine at a university in the United States.

Being a doctor in American was far more lucrative than being an astronaut, not to mention that when Lindgren joined the NASA space center, there was no guarantee that he would become an astronaut.

Watkins is also very emotional: "Yes, the Apollo program, which has been silent for 50 years, will be restarted in our hands."

The last Apollo spacecraft was Apollo 17. After the successful launch in 1972, no new Apollo spacecraft was born.

NASA has said every time before that it will restart the moon landing program, but it has always remained verbal.

No real action.

"It is more than 50 years from now, and the moon must have undergone many changes in 50 years."

"The lunar probe and the lunar orbiter brought back the latest data, and we need to reconsider the moon landing point."

"It would be best if we can cooperate with Huaguo. We can go to Huaguo's moon-orbiting space station first, and then go to and from the moon from the moon-orbiting space station." Lindgren said with a hint of complaint in his tone.

Watkins motioned him to be quiet: "Are you crazy?"

"We are in direct competition with Huaguo. We were able to cooperate with Russia on the International Space Station before, but we did not cooperate with Huaguo."

"The people of Huaguo built the space station alone, let alone the moon landing plan."

"If it was so easy to cooperate, we would not have completed the moon landing plan independently."

"You need to be more cautious. The top executives of NASA were embarrassed by the Chinese people."

"Their orbiting space station occupied NASA's originally planned orbit, which is the best orbit around the moon first calculated by NASA."

"It is beneficial to the future round trip to the moon. Because NASA has investigated this matter several times internally, they suspect who sent the news to Huaguo."

"If your thinking is exposed, you will definitely be investigated by the higher authorities, and it will even affect the moon landing."

The three of them have been training together for a long time for this moon landing plan.

Including the first time Watkins took the Liberty Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station a few years ago, it was Grindlund who led the team.

The two developed a certain friendship, so Watkins' first reaction after hearing Grindlen's remarks was that you have to be careful with your words and deeds.

Grindlund realized what was wrong in his words, he lowered his voice and said:
"Originally, we should launch a space station around the moon first, and then consider going to the moon."

"Apollo landed on the moon 50 years ago. At that time, a total of ten moon landing sites were selected and then launched."

"What about this time? There are only five moon landing points, which is less than half."

"The currently selected lunar landing sites are all located on the near side of the moon at low and middle latitudes."

"Many core lunar science goals cannot be fully achieved due to the spatial distribution of available landing sites."

"It's a bit of a moonshot for the moon's sake. It feels like a rush to the moon without being fully prepared."

"I asked Bob, and he gave me information that scientists don't agree that there should be such a haste to go to the moon."

"This is all a hasty plan pushed by NASA officials for certain interests."

There are very few landing sites on the far side of the moon.

Corresponding field work such as in situ dating, in situ element and mineral analysis, and low-frequency radio observations of the far side of the Moon cannot be performed well, which will hinder the scientifically targeted research provided by the NRC.

For example, the bombardment history of the inner solar system is uniquely shown on the Moon to be unobservable,
Because the moon's largest impact basin (SPA) is located on the far side of the moon, landing on the near side of the moon will lack effective in-situ detection.

And the absence of a landing site at high latitudes will result in insufficient support for in situ analysis and the return of lunar polar cryopreserved samples.

This, in turn, hinders the research goal: the lunar poles are a special environment that can witness fluctuating fluxes late in the solar system's history.

American's moon landing plan is from the perspective of higher-level figures, and this is only a preview of frequent moon landing plans in the future.

It's American flexing its muscles around the world.

With such high-frequency moon landings and high R&D investment, American's official financial situation is deteriorating day by day.

American's dollar bonds hit another record high.

Through this kind of soft publicity, coupled with the hot war in some areas, capital is forced to return.

This is American's usual method.

Landing on the moon is American's means of causing turmoil and bringing capital back.

Grindlund cares about scientific research purposes, but American officials don't care too much.

Because there will be many moon landings in the future.

Watkins: "I see what you mean."

"This moon landing was really rushed."

"The five selected lunar landing sites are all landing diffuse ellipses on a smooth plain in the lunar equatorial region."

"The geology of these areas was formed by numerous condensed volcanic flows."

"The region where the landing site is located is one of the youngest in the lunar volcanic terrain."

"But as astronauts, even if we know this is a hasty plan, can we give up?"

"No matter how hastily, when the opportunity to go to the moon is in front of me, I will choose to go to the moon without hesitation."

"And this time the Apollo NO.17 spacecraft is 50 times larger than that of [-] years ago."

"There are a lot more security measures, don't worry too much, it's rare to see you so anxious."

Grindlund sighed: "I'm not worried, to be honest I'm not afraid of death."

"I'm just afraid that after this moon landing, the next moon landing will have to wait another 50 years."

"I hope that this moon landing can achieve enough research goals and answer more unknown puzzles of the Blue Stars."

Watkins laughed: "Didn't NASA tell us that there will be many moon landing plans in the future, isn't this just the beginning?"

Grindren also laughed and said: "I joined NASA in 2007. When I joined NASA, I heard NASA officials say every year that we will launch the Webb telescope next year."

"Colleagues who came earlier than me have been listening since 2001, and you have also seen it. It was not until 2022 that the Webb telescope was successfully launched."

"As for the moon landing, I heard in 2018 that the Orion spacecraft will be used to land on the moon in 2020, and you have seen the same."

"This year is 2024, and we're not going to the moon."

"NASA's words are not credible. Many of them are blown out to deceive the budget of the old men in Congress."

"The orbit of the moon-orbiting space station is occupied by the Chinese, and the cost of repeated moon landings is several times higher than that of the moon-orbiting space station."

"If this problem is not resolved, the cost issue will plague NASA for a long time."

Grindlund has been working at Johnson Space Center since 07, and his qualifications in NASA are much older than Watkins.

He has always had reservations about what NASA said, and the bragging is far greater than the reality.

Watkins: "There's not just one suitable space orbit."

"It is entirely possible to use the Gaussian pseudospectral method to calculate several more suitable orbits around the moon based on the baseline trajectory of real-time data by introducing the maximum offset and fixed time interval."

Watkins also worked at NASA before becoming an astronaut, where she specialized in the Phoenix Mars lander mission.

But there is a certain difference between the orbit of the moon and the orbit of the blue star.

The quasi-periodic orbit in the Earth-Moon system is highly sensitive, and even small errors in position or velocity can have a large impact on the trajectory.

The trajectory is therefore unstable and must be controlled to maintain the corresponding trajectory.The difficulty of orbiting a space station on the moon is much greater than that of an earth space station.

It is difficult to find a relatively stable orbit. As for the orbit selection of Huaguo's space station around the moon, did you refer to NASA's research results?
This is pure coincidence, since the most stable orbits can be calculated.

There is only one solution to a problem, and American has calculated this solution, which does not mean that Huaguo cannot calculate it.

Experts in applied mathematics in Huaguo deduced the precise position of the quasi-periodic orbit by using the standard ephemeris based on the stabilization strategy of the quasi-periodic orbit at the perilunar point, taking into account the contribution of the sun's gravity and the moon's eccentricity.

NASA originally thought that only they knew this orbit, so they were not in a hurry to occupy the orbit, anyway, it will be theirs sooner or later.

But after Huaguo's space station orbiting the moon was successfully launched, they realized that something was wrong.

The originally planned track was occupied by the Chinese people.
