My encyclopedia entry has come true

The transfer orbit between Blue Star and Mars is as long as 5 million kilometers, and the difficulty of landing on Mars and landing on the moon is completely different.Therefore relatively good external conditions are very important for the launch plan.

The window period for exploring Mars is about 26 months.Every 26 months, Mars and the Earth will have a close encounter, and the distance between the two is the closest at this time.

Of course, it will actually launch months in advance, and then fly while waiting for Mars to catch up...

The last Mars window period was March 2029. At that time, Hawk Island, the United States, Dongguo and other countries launched a large number of probes, but most of them were orbiting fire probes and did not land on Mars. The Mars rovers launched and landed by China and other countries before have all lost contact due to equipment failures due to the rainy climate on Mars.

The next Mars window period is May 2031. All countries are waiting for this opportunity. This time, it is an unprecedented peak of Mars exploration. There are 5 countries participating in the world. Of course, most of them just pay money to join in the fun.

There are only a few who really have the ability to detect...

Moreover, most of them are just orbiting fire detectors and unmanned landings.

After all, so far, there are no more than 3 countries that have independently landed on the moon, plus the Xizhou Space Agency, and only 6 countries that have independently landed on Blue Moon, plus another Xizhou Space Agency.

In just 26 window periods, ordinary countries dare not attempt the difficult task of manned landing on Mars.

At present, there are only Hawk Island and the United States that have plans. Of course, they all have their own supporters behind them.

As the overlord of the era, the United States has obtained a total budget of hundreds of billions of dollars from its supporters, and countless top companies in the world have cooperated with each other.

Obviously, they are determined to be the first to land on Mars.

They plan to send 5 people to Mars, including a black man, a woman, a transgender, and a homosexual.

At the same time, they also plan to launch more than 20 orbiting fire probes and 12 Mars rovers, apparently wanting to fully explore Mars.

This is probably the legendary "full strength" of the United States.

Indeed, since the United States returned to the moon, they have received huge amounts of funds, and they have really made rapid progress, and their lunar base has also initially been built.

However, compared with the lunar base on Hawke Island, it is far behind in terms of scale and technical content.

I am afraid of comparison in everything, especially the lunar "Gundam" on Hawk Island, which can be said to have lost the face of the United States. The personnel of the Moon Base in the United States will walk around when they meet the "Gundam" on Hawk Island, so as to avoid the famous scene from happening again. ...

On the other hand, Hawk Island's rapid progress on Blue Moon has also stunned the world.

Because Blue Moon is tidally locked, and Hawk Island's rocket launch base is on the back of Blue Moon, it cannot be seen by the naked eye or telescope, but they have established a mining field on the front of Blue Moon , but can be seen through a telescope...

Just imagine how you feel when you look at the moon with a telescope and see "people" mining on the moon.

Many astronomers can use a telescope to watch all day...

In addition, Blue Moon detectors from many countries have successfully photographed Hawk Island's activities on the back of Blue Moon. These continuous photos show that Hawk Island's rocket launch base has basically been completed...

The Hawk Island official also announced that in the future, Hawk Island’s moon or Mars exploration will use the Blue Moon launch base as a transfer station. Because the Blue Moon’s gravitational force is extremely small, it can generate greater speed with less fuel... …

Not only can it greatly save the cost of space exploration, but it can also greatly shorten the travel time of the probe!
However, the technical difficulty and details are quite high. Many people doubt whether Hawk Island can do it in the next window of Mars. After all, this is the first time to use Lanwei to transfer...

Currently, Hawke Island has successfully launched multiple lunar landers through Blue Moon, including unmanned and manned landings...

The transportation efficiency between Blue Star and the moon has been greatly improved. The material that can be transported at one time can reach 3000 tons, and it can also send up to 120 astronauts to the moon base at the same time...

It can be said that the transportation cost between the blue star and the moon has been reduced by dozens of times...

Because of this, Hawk Island's moon base has received more Blue Star material support, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger, and its functions are becoming more and more complete. After receiving a large number of Blue Star machinery and equipment support, a set of Complete industrial system.

Today, the resident population of Hawk Island’s moon base has reached 1180, most of whom are researchers and skilled workers. 220 million pounds.

Basically, after working for two years, you can lie flat for a lifetime.

And after returning to Blue Star, this resume is also a very bonus item, whether it is looking for a job or doing academics, you can get better treatment.

It's literally gold plated.

However, the requirements of this job are relatively high. If you don’t have a master’s degree in science and engineering and five or six years of relevant professional work experience, don’t dream about it.

There are as many as 5.2 lunar rovers or robots of various sizes in the base.

Although they don't have real intelligence yet, they can already complete most of the production work in the base independently or under the control of skilled workers.

For example, the ilmenite mining field and smelter have an annual output of 28 tons of steel and 1.8 tons of titanium, which can basically meet the construction needs of the base.

Water and helium 3 can also be obtained as by-products.

Since there is no protection of the atmosphere and magnetic field, the close contact of lunar soil, ore and solar wind particles is very easy.

Because of this, lunar soil and ores are rich in helium 3.

Helium 3 is known to be extremely valuable because it is the perfect fuel for controlled nuclear fusion.

The deuterium-tritium fusion reaction is not perfect because the reaction creates neutron radiation problems.If helium-3 and hydrogen isotopes are used for nuclear fusion, no nuclear radiation will be produced, and more energy will be released.As long as 100 tons of helium-3 undergoes nuclear fusion, it can generate enough energy for all human beings in the world for a year.

So helium-3 is the perfect nuclear fusion fuel.

With its cost-effectiveness, it is fully worthy of being transported back to Blue Star, especially now that Hawke Island and the West Island Atomic Energy Agency have achieved key breakthroughs in the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

As long as controllable nuclear fusion has commercial value one day, the lunar base can instantly get rid of loss-making operations and start making profits!
The self-sufficiency rate of the Hawk Island Moon Base has reached over 85%...

Only some high-tech equipment or complex products, as well as some food, need to be transported from Blue Star.

The food self-sufficiency rate of the base has actually reached more than 90%. Large-scale hydroponic plants and small fish breeding technologies have all been successful in the base. Even HKP012 potatoes and HKS027 soybeans have also been successfully cultivated on the moon.

Therefore, the artificial beef production line also appeared on the moon, which can provide a large amount of protein sources and better-tasting food for the personnel stationed on the moon.

There is no need to raise cattle, and the personnel stationed on the moon can also eat very cheap steaks on the moon.

Of course, in order to enrich the recipes of the personnel stationed on the moon, Hawk Island will still spend a lot of money to transport them a large piece of rich Blue Star ingredients every month, so that they can enjoy various Blue Star delicacies...

Now that there is a transfer station for Lanwei II, the volume of one transportation has reached 3000 tons, and the cost is about 14 billion pounds. That is to say, the transportation cost of one kilogram of materials has been reduced to 466 pounds.

Of course, it is impossible to send all the food. The cargo spacecraft itself still has weight, so the actual transportation cost is a little higher, about 800 pounds per kilogram.

A 1000ml large bottle of Coke retails for £1 and costs £800 for shipping...

Is it expensive?

It still looks expensive, but compared with before, or compared with other countries, it is already very cheap, so cheap.

The transportation cost is only 10 million pounds to launch a 800-ton machine to the moon.

And the price of a piece of machinery and equipment may be worth several million pounds, so the transportation cost is completely acceptable.

Unknowingly, Hawk Island has reduced the construction cost of the lunar base by several orders of magnitude.

Maybe one day, between the moon and the blue star, it's not impossible...

These achievements of Hawke Island are seen by people all over the world.

Now, even compared with the United States, they are more optimistic about Hawke Island, and the gap is already very obvious.

In the exploration of Mars, the gap is even more obvious. Today, more than 95% of Martian creatures are discovered and named on Hawke Island.

Perhaps only the United States itself is not reconciled.

2031 is coming soon. The Blue Star Monetary Fund announced the total GDP and per capita GDP of the world's major economies in 2030. This time, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, the most shocking thing is that the number one in the world has changed hands!
From the original American country, it has become the Eastern country!

Dongguo's GDP, after exchange rate conversion, has reached an astonishing 50.66 trillion dollars!And the United States is 49.01 trillion meters!

It is the first time that Dongguo has surpassed the United States, and it is also the first time since 1894 that a country's economic aggregate has surpassed that of the United States!

This result shocked the world, because 2 years ago, the total GDP of Dongguo was only 88% of that of the United States. At that time, it was estimated that it would take at least 5 years for Dongguo to surpass the United States...

But what I didn't expect was that in just two years, the transcendence was completed.

The reason is that the supremacy of the United States was shaken, the financial crisis led to an economic crisis, and the rice knife depreciated sharply. The problems that had been accumulated for a long time were completely broken out.

On the other hand, Dongguo’s currency has continued to appreciate relatively. Coupled with its own increase, the total GDP converted into rice knives has soared, and finally achieved the first surpass in 140 years!
What the Red-haired Country failed to do back then, Dongguo finally did!
Of course, the per capita GDP of the East Country is still only about 30% of that of the United States...

The third place is still Fuso. Although the ranking has not changed, the total amount is only 11.5 trillion meters. The gap from the original No.2 is getting bigger and bigger. The ratio is one-third...

Shrinkage is also very serious.

As a "slave country" of the United States, Fusang's economy will inevitably be greatly affected.

Ranked fourth, this time, is Hawke Island, which reached 11.3 trillion meters, basically tying the country of Fusang.

Almost in the top three.

In this world line, two years ago, Hawke Island was only the 8th place...

In just two years, it has raised 5 rankings, surpassing Puguo, Nanyin, Tulip, and Italy...

This is also the first time that Hawke Island has surpassed the overlord country...

The per capita GDP of Hawke Island is still unsurprisingly the first in the world, and the people of the world have long been used to this.

American quora platform:

"The world pattern has completely changed. I never imagined that the United States would fall to No. 2050 in the world so quickly. I thought it would be at least after [-]."

"Dongguo, no1, we finally did it!"

"Hehe, the population of the East is 14 billion, and the population of the United States is 3.8 million. What is there to be proud of?"

"Fourth on Hawke Island, as expected, I am shocked once a year, and now I am not shocked anymore."

"It almost surpassed our Fusang. It's too scary. The birthplace of the fourth technological revolution really deserves its reputation!"

"It is worth mentioning that the global revenue of the Blue Star Ascension platform alone reached 2.8 trillion dollars last year, and this money was not fully included in Hawke Island's GDP, so, in fact , Hawke Island's GDP may be grossly underestimated."

"It can't be calculated like this. There are also many companies in the United States that have output value abroad, which is also counted in the GDP of other countries."

"But the Blue Star Ascension Platform is different. It is a completely monopolized industry. Except for the game warehouse, it hardly needs any facilities in other countries. Most of the Lilan has been taken from Hawke Island..."

"Fusang retained the third place with a slight advantage, but I think this is a deliberate false report, because their GDP was only announced after Hawke Island's GDP was calculated. Everyone knows what is in it. .”

"The gap between Nanyin Country and Pu Country has been widened. I can't imagine..."

"GDP doesn't prove anything. If we want to, we can become the number one in the world..."

"The Southern Federation is too miserable. It completely collapsed. The growth rate is -12%. South Africa, where the blacks began to rule, is not so miserable..."

"The most embarrassing thing is the Tulip Country, which was surpassed by the colonies..."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, and it's not the first time... I mean the United States."

"At that time, the United States had been independent for more than 100 years, and it could only be counted as a former colony. It was still different..."

"I'm a little scared. In this situation, will the third Blue Star all-out war break out? If this happens, Blue Star will probably be gone..."

"It's okay, aren't we already preparing for immigration to Mars..."

"Hell joke... But, don't you guys know that Hawke Island conducted an anti-missile study a few days ago, and the missile interception success rate was 100%. Hawke Island's missile interception system can intercept almost all missiles. They claim that there is no Nation able to drop nukes on mainland Hawke Island..."

"The country of Zha in Remainland seems to be invaded again, I hope this is not the beginning of World War Three..."
