Vol 2 Chapter 610: Moon landing

Although Henry’s words are reasonable and well-founded, every country has selfishness. Who would be willing to hand over the elite troops of their own country to the control of the Williams Empire? Moreover, the annual expenditure of this 100,000 joint force is huge. Is it necessary for each country to share it equally?

Henry looked at everyone's expressions, and knew that his previous idea of ​​forming a "Wei Yuan" joint force was too simple. Henry couldn't help but laughed at himself. It was for the sake of everyone. After the establishment of the Weiyuan united force, the countries of the entire Weiyuan system can be greatly improved in terms of external discourse power, but the countries are full of the Williams Empire. Speculation and precautions are obviously unwilling to agree to the establishment of the Weiyuan Joint Force.

Others kindly sent troops to help the Williams Empire, but in the end, they annexed their own troops. What would these countries think? If you want to force this plan at this time, it will undoubtedly destroy the relationship between the Williams Empire and the other 14 countries!

Henry thought for a while and took the initiative to say: "Okay, I don't think you are willing. If that is the case, then forget it! Then I will let my troops return to the countries! This war, thank you all countries for their help, I will come up with 50 billion Weiyuan is a sign of gratitude and is distributed to countries in accordance with the size of their contribution! For those killed and injured, the Williams Empire will make additional compensation!"

When the presidents heard this, they were very pleasantly surprised. They thought, it’s great that they can get so much money by sending soldiers to "fight soy sauce"!

Henry did this with a purpose.

These countries got the money this time and tasted the sweetness. Then, next time, if Henry asks them to send troops, the countries will definitely send more troops. Invisibly, the Williams Empire is equivalent to having the armed forces of the other 14 nations. Before the Williams Empire has really become stronger, the power of the 14 nations can make European and American countries feel a little jealous of the Williams Empire!

After sending away the presidents of 14 countries, Henry began to become obsessed with the research and development of artificial intelligence.

At the same time, Henry is paying close attention to Spacex's moon landing plan. The manned spacecraft used for landing on the moon has already been manufactured. It is called the "Zeus" spacecraft. The spacecraft is mainly divided into two parts: the main body of the spacecraft and the lunar module. When the spacecraft is parked in the orbit of the moon, the lunar module is connected to the lunar module. The spacecraft separated and began to land on the moon. After completing the mission on the moon, the lunar module returns to the lunar orbit, combines with the spacecraft, and finally returns to the space station!

When the US Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, it used a three-cabin landing mode, with the command module at the top, the service module in the middle, and the lunar module at the bottom. The way to land on the moon is basically the same. After the spacecraft reaches the lunar orbit, the lunar module leaves the spacecraft and heads to the moon. However, when returning, due to the technical conditions at the time and considering the weight and fuel issues, after the lunar module returned to the spacecraft, the lunar module had to be thrown away to reduce its weight. Then the service module will provide power to return to the earth. At the end, the service module will be thrown away, except that the command module will return to the surface of the earth.

Today is different from the past. After 37 years, the Zeus spacecraft used nuclear fission and graphene solar energy as a power source, which is enough to ensure the spacecraft's energy supply. There is no need to throw away the lunar module, which is wasted!

On July 15th, Spacex held a press conference to announce that the manned moon landing project will be launched on the 20th of this month.

When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Because so far, only the United States has successfully landed on the moon in the world! If spacex can succeed, it will be of great significance!

Countless people are looking forward to the early arrival of the 20th.

Five days passed in an instant.

The launch site of the Zeus spacecraft is located at the Spacex launch center in southern Somalia. The launch center is located on the equator. The linear velocity of the earth's rotation at the equator is the highest, which can save fuel for the rocket. Spacex intends to send 10 astronauts over, and these 10 astronauts have taken the first-generation genetic evolution medicine developed by the Gene Umbrella, their body strength has reached 1.5 times that of ordinary people, and they have increased resistance to cosmic rays. Can better adapt to space life!

At 09:00 am Southern Somalia time, Spacex successfully launched a heavy rocket code-named "Falcon 8" at the launch center in Southern Somalia to lift the Zeus spacecraft into the sky. The rocket is a two-stage rocket. The first stage uses liquid fuel and the second stage uses nuclear fission to ensure that Zeus will be sent to the moon orbit at the fastest speed.

In fact, Spacex has developed a plasma rocket thruster. However, at the beginning, the plasma thruster was very slow and could only generate 5 Newtons of thrust. If it is used for short-distance voyages such as the moon, it is not as fast as other thrusters!

However, don't underestimate the plasma booster.

The Deep Space 1 launched in 1998 was propelled by an ion engine. Its impulse is 10 times that of a liquid rocket (the impulse is the final momentum minus the initial momentum ~ www.readwn.com ~ the unit is kg·m/s .) Consuming 100 grams of xenon propellant per day, when the engine is running at full speed, the speed increases by 2532 meters per day. Its final working time is more than 14,000 hours, surpassing the combined working time of all previous traditional rocket engines.

The birth of the plasma thruster has shortened the time from the earth to Mars from 250 days to 39 days, or even shorter! ! !

There is no doubt that spacex has very in-depth research in this area. Zhang Fulin, a retired NASA astronaut from the US, is now the main person in charge of spacex's plasma engine. He is NASA’s first Chinese-American professional astronaut with a quarter of Chinese descent. He completed his Ph.D. in applied plasma physics at MIT in 1977. After graduation, he was engaged in plasma thruster research. Aspect is one of the most authoritative experts in the world! In 2005, he retired from Nasa and formed ad-astra rocket company. Spacex did not hesitate to launch the acquisition of the company, and finally brought talents like Zhang Fulin into the spacex company!

The gravity of the moon is 1/6 of that of the earth, while the gravity of Mars is slightly more than 1/3 of that of the earth.

After the first simple steps, to complete the moon landing, the next goal is Mars.

The rocket successfully sent the Zeus spacecraft to outer space and flew quickly to the moon.

The average distance between the moon and the earth is 38,400 kilometers. It took more than three days for the US to land on the moon. Spacex plans to complete it in only a day and a half!

Thirty-one hours later, Zeus reached lunar orbit. In the next moment, Zeus will dispatch the lunar module to the moon.

The exciting time has finally arrived!
