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

Chapter 320 Mark's Plan

The landing site of the Artemis 3 lunar module is also in the Aitken Basin near the South Pole of the Moon.

This location is only about 400 kilometers away from the Guanghan Palace lunar base of Longguo.

Why the Empire's moon landing point this time is so close to Dragon Kingdom.

Because previous exploration has shown that there may be ice at the South Pole of the Moon, which means there is water.

Water is the source of life. If there is really water here, we can build a base here and send supplies to the base in the future without having to deliver water.

In addition, water can also be decomposed to produce hydrogen and oxygen, which are essential things for building a base on the moon.

Supplies can be directly supplied from the moon without having to be transported from the blue planet.

After all, delivering goods to space is charged by kilogram, which is very expensive!

The Empire does not have the [Golden Chariot] like Tang Aerospace. Even if Mark's starship can be reused, the cost is still not low.

It has been three weeks since the Golden Chariot landed on the moon.

Li Tang has arranged several [Golden Chariots] to operate three flights a day to continuously transport construction materials to the moon.

In order to build the Guanghan Palace lunar base, even the Centennial Workshop Construction Group specially established the Tianting Construction Group.

The leader of Tianting Construction is Pan Jiansong, director of the Architecture Research Institute under the Future Science and Technology Research Institute and today's big shot in the construction industry.

Since completing the Huarui Building at the headquarters of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute, Pan Jiansong has become a leading architectural master in the global construction industry.

Are you kidding? Is there any architect in this world who has completed a building that is thousands of meters high?
Five thousand-meter-high buildings at once.

However, Pan Jiansong was not satisfied. As Future Technology launched the Future City project across the country, he started working on the design without stopping.

All the designs that had once remained in his imagination were taken out.

After Li Tang's consciousness resonance education, he has achieved deeper attainments in the field of architecture.

In addition, Zero helps with various stress calculations, plus various scenario simulations.

Pan Jiansong can completely let go of his own accord in designing.

After all, he has [Snow Mud] and YL Cement, which is second only to [Snow Mud], as well as a batch of other new building materials. He doesn't have to worry about not being able to realize his design.

However, a month ago, he was suddenly recalled to the headquarters by Li Tang and began to participate in astronaut training.

Not only that, he also selected a group of elite soldiers from the century-old workshop to form the construction team of the Heavenly Palace.

Begin research and testing of construction projects in low gravity and vacuum environments under simulated conditions.

At this moment, Pan Jiansong was already sitting in his office at the Guanghan Palace base, continuing to design the third phase of the Guanghan Palace project.

That’s right, in just three weeks, the fully prepared Heavenly Palace was built.

The construction of the first and second phases of the Guanghan Palace base has been completed.

The main buildings including scientific research center, smelting center, basic industrial center, and agricultural and animal husbandry center have been completed.

This means that the Guanghan Palace base can accommodate 50,000 people and has primary production capabilities on the moon, so there is no need to transport even a nail from the Blue Planet.

The third phase of the project will have a longer construction period and will take about half a year to complete.

Once the third phase of the project is completed, the Guanghan Palace base will basically be able to achieve complete self-sufficiency.

Subsequently, a space elevator will be built on the moon to connect the Guanghan Palace base with the spaceport in the lunar orbit to form a complete system.

The main reason why Li Tang did not build a space elevator on Blue Star was the cost factor.

But the construction cost on the moon is much lower. After all, the gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of that on the blue planet.

Once the space elevator technology is matured here, it will be easier to control costs when building it on the Blue Planet.

What's more, the transportation capacity of today's [Golden Car] is not low at all.

The first and second phases of Guanghan Palace together cover an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers.

Since it was completely enclosed, Li Tang set up a holographic projection stealth system.

This is also the reason why the Empire's Artemis III Orion spacecraft did not discover that the Dragon Kingdom's lunar base had been initially completed when it was orbiting the moon.

Instead, they saw the Phase III project under construction, otherwise they would have been even more frightened.

Of course, other countries such as East Wo and White Elephant, which have lunar satellites, either do not pass over the South Pole of the Moon or their lunar satellites do not pass over the South Pole of the Moon.

Either they passed by or they were deceived by the invisible system.

The reason why Li Tang concealed the construction speed of the lunar base was mainly because the country's future city had not yet been completed.

As time went by, as the pro-Li faction gained more and more influence in this major project, the project has been upgraded from 100 cities in the first phase to 1000 cities.

If it hadn't been for such a big fuss, the Symbiosis Society wouldn't have been able to detect some information.

Of course, since Li Qin joined the joint inspection team, it has been difficult for spies from other countries to infiltrate the Future City project under the surveillance of the national police.

It’s just that the symbiotic community has its own special means, and only by exerting its strength on the periphery can it obtain some information.

This eventually led the leader of the Symbiote Society to a shocking conclusion, which in turn stimulated the Symbiote Society to cooperate with Mark and prepare to evacuate Blue Planet.

In the name of preparing for the S3 season, Li Tang was actually preparing for the shocking war that might break out 26 years later.

Whether it is the Mars clan or the puppet army led by the Ansi clan, their technological level is higher than that of the current Blue Star.

Perhaps after 26 years of development, Li Tang could catch up in some aspects. But a war is definitely not that easy to win.

Li Tang feels that all the preparations he has made now may not be enough, so he tries his best to strengthen them.

At this time, the Empire's Artemis III moon landing suddenly failed, the lunar module crashed, and suddenly disappeared.

After the Golden Chariot, which was originally flying near the orbital module of the Orion spacecraft, sent back a signal, the commander of the lunar base, Qi Tian, ​​received an order from Li Tang and decided to send people for rescue.

In any case, on the moon, even the imperial astronauts are fellow humans from the blue planet.

If Longguo does not come to the rescue, it will be detrimental to Longguo's subsequent global governance.

Although Li Tang is now working on defeating and dismembering the empire, there is no contradiction in rescuing the empire's astronauts.

This is also the best way to undermine the prestige of the empire.

It is for this reason that the Datang Aerospace live broadcast room on the [Mengying] platform will broadcast this rescue live.

Sure enough, when the image of the mighty-looking lunar rover rushing towards the accident site at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour was shown to the world, it attracted a lot of admiration.

"Oh my god, this is a lunar rover? It's so tall and mighty."

"Only the Golden Chariot can carry such a big thing to the moon."

"Hey, did you notice that this lunar rover looks a bit like the lunar transport vehicle in The Wandering Earth 2?"

"It's still a little different. It feels taller and bigger. You can see the truck bed is also much bigger. It must have a bigger load capacity!"

"The moon in the sky looks small, but I didn't expect that the lunar rover, which runs at 80 kilometers per hour, would take five hours to reach the accident site."

"Don't worry, Datang Aerospace has also sent out a space version of that drone, which will arrive in about 40 minutes."

"Drones can't rescue the Empire's lunar module."

"It's already pretty good. If it weren't for Tang Aerospace, the three astronauts from the Empire would definitely not be saved!"

"Space exploration is really dangerous!"

"The space projects that Mark participated in always failed at the beginning, and his success was built on a series of failures."

"What the above person means is that Mark's plan to colonize Mars will have to fail several times before it can succeed."

"Just look at how many times the starship exploded, and you'll know."

"In the past, space missions by various national space agencies were very cautious, so the success rate was very high."

"Haven't you noticed? It seems that Tang Aerospace has never failed so far. The success rate is 100%!"

"I don't understand why the Imperial Space Agency wants to let Mark get involved in the Artemis III project. Now there really is a problem."

……

Looking at the comments directed at him in the comment section, Mark was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

But his space exploration and the series of rocket launches in the past did mature through continuous failures.

For this reason, Lao Ma always makes excuses for his own failures, insisting that failure is the mother of success!
Because of his ultimate success, the world is still able to accept his theory.

However, now there is a better Datang Aerospace, with a 100% success rate in front of us.

Suddenly, Mark's space exploration seemed to be overshadowed.

“Mark, since they took the initiative to rescue, do we still need to ask for help from the Dragon Space Agency?”

Ham Nick was about to leave the hall, but now he came back.

Ham Nick still felt a little uncomfortable with this embarrassing cross-border request for help.

If you can avoid going, of course it's best not to go.

Mark looked at Ham Nick, pondered for a moment, and said, “Well, you should find a way to contact them and express our needs and gratitude.

If possible, it would be best to ask them to help find the missing lunar module.

If we can use their [Golden Car] to send it back, we can also find out the real cause of the accident."

In Mark's mind, he was not thinking about the face of the empire.

He was still thinking about the grand plan of landing on Mars.

This moon landing is, after all, a rehearsal for the Mars landing.

According to the rules of space exploration, the lessons learned from this failure must be learned to ensure that it will not happen again next time.

As long as we can successfully land on Mars, losing face won’t be a problem.

Ham Nick was stunned when he heard this. Well, you are so shameless to make such a request.

Don’t you know how valuable this kind of space transport capacity is?

You actually want Longguo to not only help you retrieve the lunar module, but also transport the remains of the lunar module from the moon back to the blue planet.

Why should others help you if you just pay lip service to them?
"Mark, if you want to transport the damaged lunar module back, I'm afraid you'll have to be prepared to bleed a lot."

Mark thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go negotiate and see what price the other party wants us to pay."
