You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 485 Success?
"What is all this nonsense?"

Capital
Ruan Min was also watching the live broadcast of America's starship launch, and there were many aerospace academicians, aerospace experts and related people together.

Needless to say, the live broadcast room was full of chaos.

In the past, comments such as "Light of Humanity", "We need to reflect", "We need to face up to the gap" and the like could not make their emotions fluctuate at all, but seeing a few of these comments still made Ruan Min couldn't help but frown. frowned.

“Look at this place, it’s free to visit, unlike us who need VIP tickets!”

"That's right, this is truly down-to-earth and approachable!"

……

Tickets?

Ruan Min looked at the person next to him and asked, "Have tickets been sold at our satellite launch site?"

Someone immediately replied: "The viewing platform sells tickets. In addition to the viewing platform, nearby B&Bs and hotels also charge fees. Other places where you can watch do not require tickets. In addition, including SpaceX Yes, all countries in the world charge for rocket launches at good viewing locations. Every time SpaceX launches, tickets for the nearest five kilometers start at US$80.”

America doesn't want to lose to us in the aerospace competition. They want to maintain their technological advantage. At least they want to explain to people all over the world that they, America, are still ahead in technology, no matter what the actual situation is.

Everyone knows that this manned moon landing is a political mission to compete with our moon landing plan and lunar base construction plan.

Li Dong then sighed.

Academicians Li Dong, Academician Long and other aerospace academicians and experts did not take up this topic. They all watched the live broadcast seriously and waited for this launch.

Academician Long frowned and said, "Why don't you invite him over? We can discuss such a big matter with Academician Zhao here."

"That's it~"

While waiting, Academician Li Dong made a comment.

Under the huge stainless steel rocket body, the Starship's carrying capacity can still surpass that of the Saturn V. It can be seen that the Starship does indeed have technological advantages and has made huge progress compared to before.

This is a persecution!
"Where's Academician Zhao?"

The extremely tall starship is covered with silver-gray thermal insulation material on the outside, but is made of stainless steel on the inside. Only the lunatic leader Ma can pull off such crazy behavior.

"Although the starship is not as long as ours by five seconds, it is still very strong. It has already surpassed the Saturn V that was used by Apollo to land on the moon!"

Everyone at the scene nodded.

Academician Long suddenly asked about Ruan Min.

Of course, we have to put aside our Chang 5S here, because the engine used by the Chang 5S was developed by Zhao Mo and has a single thrust of nearly one thousand tons, which is much more powerful than the Raptor used in starships.

Ruan Min was stunned for a moment and replied: "I did not invite Academician Zhao to come over."

Ruan Min coughed and explained: "Academician Zhao mentioned this before and said we would wait until it succeeds."

Academician Long nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Academician Zhao, otherwise we don't know how long it would take to catch up with them."

"Hopefully they can make it this time!"

After hearing this, Ruan Min was speechless and said: "Our propaganda department is lagging behind!"

But as an astronaut, he is very disgusted with this kind of political mission, which is full of huge risks. If you are not careful, the rocket and lunar probe will be lost. The key is that the three astronauts will definitely not survive. He and the three astronauts belonged to different camps, but they were both human beings. It was too cruel to watch the three astronauts die.

Of course Li Dong also knew.

Although Academician Long was a little disappointed, he understood, so he nodded slightly and stopped mentioning the matter.

"Light it up~"

Someone whispered.

Everyone looked at the live broadcast room and could clearly see that the starship had been successfully ignited, a huge tail flame was sprayed out, and a huge mushroom cloud instantly rose up from the entire launch site, which was formed by the instantaneous evaporation of a large amount of water. Driven by the tail flame, it soared into the sky.

Soon, as the tail flame continued to spray, the starship slowly took off into the sky, and its speed became faster and faster.

After a while, the starship rose into the sky carrying a blazing tail flame, like a divine arrow, piercing the sky.

At this moment, because it was morning time in Amilika, and the weather was clear and the sky was cloudless, the live broadcast room could be seen very clearly, and the strong sunlight between the sky and the earth could be seen.

However, the light from the starship's blazing tail flame turned it into another little sun, attracting everyone's eyes and attention.

In the entire empty world, it seems that only the starships rushing towards the sky at high speed are left!

"Ignition successful, takeoff successful!"

Li Dong murmured to himself, then took a deep breath and said, "The next step depends on whether it can enter the orbit normally."

Academician Long praised: "This launch is more beautiful."

Others praised: "America's technical strength is still very strong. A new rocket has matured so quickly, and it was verified while test-firing. It's a bit subversive."

"Yeah~" "It's still worth learning from."

"Apart from the high-thrust engine developed by Academician Zhao, we are still far behind America in other aspects. We still have a long way to go."

……

Everyone expressed their feelings one after another, which can also be said to be opinions.

Ruan Min listened on the sidelines and quite agreed with these views.

Objective issues, objective analysis, as long as there is no stupidity or blind faith, healthy competition and learning must be vigorously promoted. This means that among three people, there must be a teacher.

He took a look at the comments in the live broadcast room. It was full of jubilation at this time, and a lot of people were saying "Light of Humanity", "We humans are coming to the moon", "We have more than 400,000 people, but we can't compare to SpaceX, a commercial company with thousands of people." ", "Haha, here we only have sex, blood, mother-to-child transmission"... and so on.

If it had been before, Ruan Min would have been so angry that he even cursed in anger.

But now, he didn't want to talk anymore, he really couldn't complain.

Were the more than two million NASA astronauts eaten by them?
Don’t say that we don’t have more than 400,000 yuan. Even if we do, we have relied on more than 400,000 astronauts to accomplish the unmanned lunar landing and sample return, the Tiangong Space Station, and the 1,000-ton high-thrust engine...etc. So many achievements, aren’t you enough to shut up?
Looking back at NASA, what did the more than two million astronauts officially reported?
We don’t have a space station, we don’t have a kiloton thrust engine, and now it’s up to SpaceX to launch manned moon landings. Should their more than two million astronauts die?

Although it was late at night, because this manned moon landing was so important, everyone present was waiting and no one left.

About an hour later, the live broadcast room screen switched. This time the lander separated from the rocket and successfully entered the predetermined orbit, preparing to accumulate power and fly to the moon.

Seeing the successful entry into orbit, everyone present was obviously relieved, not for themselves, but for America, and even more for the three astronauts.

If it really fails to enter orbit, the outcome for the three astronauts will not be good.

The crowd didn't applaud, it was inappropriate to applaud.

By this time, everyone got up and left.

The next stage, entering the Earth-Moon orbit and then transitioning to the Moon orbit, will take a day or two.

"Let's go~"

Academician Long was old and couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up first and asked Li Dong to leave together.

Li Dong responded, stood up, and then the two of them turned around and left.

After them, people at the scene got up and left.

Ruan Min was the last one to leave. He was filled with pressure. He didn't expect that America's manned lunar landing would be so smooth, unexpectedly smooth!

There is no doubt that the smoother America's launch is, the greater the pressure will be on our country.

In a time of great strife, there are frequent conflicts. The strong will become strong, and the weak will perish.

Although we have always been lagging behind in aerospace development, it is normal for America to be better than us, and it is normal for America to have a manned moon landing more smoothly than us. On our side, we have always recognized that America’s Apollo program was successful and real.

However, since Zhao Mo came out of the blue and developed a high-thrust rocket engine, our aerospace level has been in the same position as America, and it can even be said to be a little beyond.

In this context, we should position ourselves no longer as lagging pursuers, but as pioneers who should keep pace with America and begin to explore the future for mankind.

No matter what others think, at least Ruan Min sees it this way. He also knows that the above and many aerospace academicians and aerospace experts see it this way.

Not to mention Zhao Mo, he has transcended this reality and has reached another dimension and does not take America seriously.

In this way, the success of America's manned moon landing will naturally put great pressure on us.

That night, Ruan Min didn't sleep well at all. He tossed and turned in a hazy state, always weighed down by this matter.

So, early the next morning, he paid attention to the latest progress of the starship's moon landing.

"Everything is normal, the attitude has been adjusted and the starting and debugging of the liquid methane and liquid oxygen engines have been completed~"

Ruan Min felt even more stressed when he saw this news. This news meant that the engine of the America lander was normal and could provide normal power when landing on the moon.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but go to Wudaokou to find Zhao Mo.

"Professor Zhao is doing research in seclusion and doesn't see visitors. Let's talk about anything until Professor Zhao comes out~"

However, Zhao Mo was not seen this time and was blocked outside by Zhao Mo's assistant Cai Bin.

Ruan Min took a deep breath and said, "I have something to ask Academician Zhao about America's moon landing. Please inform him!"

Cai Bin shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Professor Zhao specifically told me that the moon landing cannot disturb him."

Ruan Min was stunned: "..."

Boy, is there any question more worthy of study than the moon landing?
