The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 298 Crazy Mark
The host Chen Yao and expert Chen from the space agency in the live broadcast room were also shocked.

I never thought that the person getting on and off the Golden Chariot would not be a traditional astronaut.

It turned out to be an armed man holding strange firearms and looking like a future warrior.

Chen Yao reacted quickly and said immediately, "It's amazing! Chief Engineer Lu, is this a new type of space suit? Have you seen it?"

Of course Lu Tianming had seen this set of equipment, and he had even tried it on.

Because it won't be long before he also goes to the Guanghan Palace base on the moon to work for a period of time.

This new type of aerospace powered armor not only has all the functions of previous space suits.

There is also additional power assistance, which allows ordinary people to walk 35 kilometers at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

This has surpassed the performance of the second-generation power armor of [Tianwu].

Of course, as technology advances, this kind of transcendence is inevitable.

What’s more, Li Tang was looking ahead to the deadline of 26 years later, so the more advanced the weapons and equipment could be, the better.

Lu Tianming nodded honestly and said, "Yes, this is the aerospace version of the [Tianwu] second-generation exoskeleton power armor, which can not only provide astronauts with 12 hours of activity time in a vacuum state.

It can also effectively ensure that astronauts do not have to worry about being disturbed by statically charged lunar dust during the construction of the lunar base.

The lunar 'hay fever' that Imperial lunar astronauts once suffered from will no longer occur.

In addition, when working in outer space, there is no need to worry about the space suit being scratched and causing any risk of leakage.

It is also fully capable of shielding against high radiation in the cosmic environment.”

Chen Yao continued to ask: "Then, is the first Dragon astronaut to set foot on the moon holding a weapon in his hand?"

Lu Tianming continued to answer: "Yes, this is an electromagnetic rifle. The first person to get off the [Golden Car] should be the guard soldier of the Guanghan Palace base."

At this moment, Expert Chen couldn't help but ask: "Will we be in danger of being attacked while conducting scientific research on the moon?"

Hearing what Expert Chen said, Lu Tianming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although humans had previously conducted space exploration activities, the Empire's astronauts did not carry guns because they always landed on the sea.

But Da Mao had always carried a pistol with him before, after all, if he landed in the forest on land, he would be in danger of encountering wild beasts.

At this time, the comment section was also flooded with comments.

On the one hand, there are people who envy Longguo's aerospace armor, and on the other hand, there are people who try to set the pace.

"Humanity should use space for peaceful purposes, not bring guns into it."

"Yes, yes. Future Technology has actually sent armed personnel with advanced firearms to the moon. Do they want to occupy the moon?"

“Is this the start of Star Wars?”

"Protest, firmly protest against the Future Technology Institute for sending armed personnel to land on the moon!"

"Why are you protesting? If you have the guts, send armed personnel to land on the moon!"

"Can you please stop leading the discussion and listen to what Chief Engineer Lu has to say?"

……

Lu Tianming did not read the comments, but said: “In any era, when humans go to unknown areas, they will carry weapons for self-defense.

Although the moon has been explored many times by probes from various countries, no one can conclude whether there are some unknown dangers.

After all, the place where the Golden Chariot has landed now is the back of the moon.

Humans cannot observe the situation there all the time!
The Empire announces many UFO incidents every year, but no one knows whether there is extraterrestrial life monitoring the Blue Planet!
In the face of possible unknown dangers, our future technology will require major moves to build bases and spaceports on the moon.

No one knows whether it will attract some unknown threat!
Do you think we need armed security personnel to accompany us?"

At this time, Chen Yao immediately said: "Yes, if the astronauts are suddenly attacked by aliens with bare hands, they will definitely not be able to fight back."

Expert Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, if there really were aliens capable of monitoring the blue planet for a long time, and they were taking action at this time, with their technology, you holding an electromagnetic rifle would probably be equivalent to being unarmed, right?

Of course, at this moment he knew in his heart that he must not sing a different tune.

So he said solemnly: "This possibility still exists, mainly because the number of UFO reports from the Empire every year is too terrifying.

Even their corner tower held a press conference to acknowledge the possibility of the existence of aliens.

The Empire was the only country in the world that had landed on the moon, and it immediately abandoned subsequent plans after landing once.

Maybe they saw something, but they hid it from the whole world?
When we land on the moon this time, we must be cautious. It is better to have weapons than no weapons!"

This interaction in the live broadcast room caused an uproar in the comment section again.

At this moment, on the other side of the ocean.

Mark had been watching the live broadcast on the [Mengying] platform the entire time, his face looking so solemn that tears could drip from his eyes.

Next to him was his good partner Ever, also with a look of panic on his face.

"Li Tang is really amazing. He quietly created a nuclear-powered version of the Golden Chariot. This moon landing is clearly a rehearsal for landing on Mars!"

Ivor asked anxiously: "Mark, how should we deal with this?

You know, we finally got the support of the congressional appropriations bill, and it was the time when we could work hard and fast, but we were hit hard by Future Technology.

I’m afraid many investors will back off!
In particular, today, stimulated by this news, the rebound that the stock market had finally seen has now been shattered.

Although it has not yet reached the point of a circuit breaker, there is still widespread grief. We can no longer raise additional funds except for the small amount of funding we have allocated.”

Mark’s forehead veins bulged, and he said angrily: “Of course I knew this would be the result!

Damn it, I bet Li Tang did this on purpose!

Li Tang, we have no grudges in the past or today. If you block my path like this, don't blame me for fighting back desperately!"

Ivor was excited when he heard this and said, "Mark, how have you thought of fighting back?"

There was a hint of madness in Mark's eyes.

"How do we fight back? Of course, we fight back against our plan to colonize Mars!"

"Ah?!" Ever was stunned.

As for the research and development progress of our own space exploration starship, even if it is a completed one, I am afraid it cannot be compared with the [Golden Chariot]!
The other party is nuclear-powered. As long as there is enough jet fuel, it can travel in space forever!

Landing on Mars will probably be a very quick thing.

"What? Be more confident, our starship can also be nuclear-powered!"

Eiffel was stunned and asked, "Do you mean that we should do the same as the DRACO rocket project?
However, in terms of technology reserves, we are not as good as General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, and Blue Origin. If we change now, I am afraid that the time to land on Mars will be further delayed.”

Mark shook his head and said, "Of course not that kind of nuclear rocket, I have a better plan!"

It was not implemented before, mainly due to lack of funds.

Now that we have the funding, at least we can proceed with both technical solutions simultaneously.

This way you won't have the problem of prolonged time that you're worried about.

In other words, in the worst case scenario, we still have starships to use.

In short, if the nuclear-powered version of the starship can catch up, we will give priority to it for landing on Mars."

Ivor was surprised and said, "We are just starting to develop the nuclear-powered version. How can we possibly surpass the progress of the existing starships?"

Mark patted Ivor's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this, I will seek external help.

You mainly help me keep an eye on the Starship project, and we will use the Starship to send people to the moon as soon as possible."

Ivor was stunned with his mouth wide open. "Mark, you said we should go to the moon as soon as possible?"

"Yes, I will talk to Ham Nick at NASA and get a lunar module to the moon using Starship before Christmas!"

Ivor couldn't help but yelled, "Mark, are you crazy?!
Landing on the moon before Christmas, isn’t that a fantasy?

We are not prepared at all?"

Mark put his hands on Eivor's shoulders, stared at him, and said, "Listen, old man, NASA's Artemis project is moving forward.

Now that there is new funding, I am also stimulated by Li Tang’s speech today.

Do you think Ham Nick will be very anxious?

We'll use Starship V to send their Orion spacecraft to the moon!

This means that we are a little over half a month late, which is the best way to test the landing on Mars.

We can’t miss it!”

Looking at Mark's distorted face, Ever sighed helplessly.

“Mark, you convinced me!
But the prerequisite is that NASA's Orion spacecraft can be used, which you need to coordinate as soon as possible.

I'll make sure Starship Five gets it to the moon!"

Mark smiled and said, “Great, I knew you would support me!
Let's take action, this time, we will definitely surpass Li Tang.

We can definitely be the first to land on Mars!"

As Mark spoke, his eyes swept across the screen, which was showing 36 people wearing the aerospace version of the [Tianwu] second-generation armor lining up on the moon to raise the flag.

A specially made national flag was raised in the silent space, indicating that this would be the location of the Guanghan Palace base.

"Eivor, our personnel who land on the moon and Mars must also carry weapons!"

Ivor was stunned and said, "Mark, do you also believe the nonsense of Chief Engineer Lu?"

Mark said: "No, this is not nonsense, maybe we really need to defend ourselves.

Besides, if they can carry weapons, why can't we?
This has to be equal, understand?"

Ever was confused. Mark's words seemed to be saying that aliens really existed, but also seemed to be saying that it was just for the sake of being equal to future technology.

Well, never mind. If I want to finish Starship V before Christmas, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Mark, if you want to ensure the time node before Christmas, you have to pay more overtime."

Mark waved his hand and said, "I just want the results, you can calculate the overtime pay yourself!"

"Okay, I'll get busy then."

Watching Ever leave, Mark took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He decided to wake up the object.
