The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

The distance between the moon and the earth is about 38.4 kilometers.

to be frank.

If such a long distance is placed in the earth environment, it must be a very long distance. Not to mention the problem of communication delay, whether the signal can be received is a huge problem.

but.

The distance of 384 million kilometers is not too far in the vacuum environment of the universe.

The earth is about 6.3 million kilometers away from Jupiter, 5500 million kilometers away from Mars, and 38.4 kilometers away from the moon is simply a short trip.

After the "Chang'e-4 probe" of the Yanguo Aerospace Group landed on the back of the moon, in order to transmit communication signals to the earth on the back of the moon, it launched two "Lagrangian points" between the earth and the moon. "Magpie Bridge" relay communication satellite.

In this way, "Chang'e 4" will first transmit the signal to the "Magpie Bridge Relay Satellite", and then the "Magpie Bridge" will transmit the signal to the earth, so as to ensure the communication between the earth and the detector.

This time, the communication function of the "lunar orbiter" launched by the Phoenix Group is also in cooperation with the Yanguo Aerospace Group, borrowing the signal frequency of its "Queqiao Relay Satellite", and finally realizing the smooth communication system.

After thinking for a long time, Hu Lai still felt that there is no need to immediately build a "large-scale phased array communication satellite".

Although the launch of the "Large Phased Array Communication Satellite" can reduce the delay between the earth and the moon, at present, the Phoenix Group does not have any projects between the earth and the moon that must use such a good communication guarantee.

As for the "lunar orbiter" that is currently being promoted, it is entirely possible to use the "Queqiao Relay Satellite" of the Aerospace Corporation to complete technical experiments.

After thinking about these things clearly, Hu Lai put aside the idea of ​​producing "large-scale phased array communication satellites" for the time being, and prepared to concentrate on the next step of the "Moon Landing Program".

And the other side.

The successful flight of the Phoenix Group's "lunar orbiter" around the moon was also a huge response from other countries and space agencies around the world.

In fact, after the Phoenix Group publicly announced its "moon landing plan", everyone thought that the Phoenix Group was a fantasy and unrealistic.

Even after Gou Dahu and Phoenix Group cooperated to "go to the moon", many organizations still laughed at Gou Dahu for being cheated with the mentality of watching a joke.

did not expect……

Now the Phoenix Group has really succeeded in its first step!
You know, this simple first step of "flying the orbiter around the moon" is enough to make the space agencies of countless countries jealous!
Among them, the most stressful one is naturally NASA in North America.

The Phoenix Group has won the favor of many scientific research institutions and universities because it generously provided images and data of the "Sky Survey Telescope" impact to all scientific research institutions around the world during the "comet impact on Jupiter".

It even stole NASA's limelight with the historic opening of the live broadcast around the world, causing NASA's prestige in the global aviation field to plummet.

And now.

As a company, the Phoenix Group has successfully achieved a flight around the moon, which has made their prestige in the world even more terrifying!

NASA headquarters.

In a high-level conference room, many senior managers and senior engineers of NASA gathered together.

At this moment, they all pursed their lips and frowned, staring intently at the LED display screen directly in front of the meeting room. What was shown on the screen was the latest large-scale aeroengine released by the Phoenix Group - "220-ton hydrogen-oxygen engine"!
At this time, a Western man wearing glasses stood next to the LED screen. It was Rui Jackson, NASA's top aircraft engineer.

He pointed solemnly at the picture of the hydrogen-oxygen engine named "Hot Wheels" on the screen, glanced at everyone present, and said in a low voice:
"According to the data released by the Phoenix Group, their 'lunar orbiter' was successfully captured this time when it ignited and flew from the Earth's low-earth orbit to the moon. It took a total of 80 hours."

"Sixty years ago, our Apollo spacecraft took 60 hours to fly this distance. The latest flight of their Yanguo'Chang'e 92' took 4 hours, but now they only took 114 hours!"

"I don't think I need to say much about the reason. It is the 220-ton 'Hot Wheels' hydrogen-oxygen engine developed by the Phoenix Group in front of you."

After the words fell, the atmosphere on the scene was somewhat dull, and all eyes were fixed on the latest "Hot Wheels" hydrogen-oxygen engine in front of them.

After a while, immediately a blond senior raised his hand and asked:

"Rui, have we verified this data?"

"Are you sure it's true?"

Rui Jackson glanced at the blond executive who asked the question, then nodded and said:
"reality!"

"Although we have very little information on their 'Hot Wheels' hydrogen-oxygen engine, according to our monitoring of their 'lunar orbiter', there is no problem with the data they released."

"From ignition in low-Earth orbit to capture in lunar orbit, a total of 40 kilometers, it took only 80 hours."

Rui Jackson's affirmative confirmation caused the conference room to suddenly fall silent, and everyone present knew what this meant.

As we all know, in the space environment, whether it is a rocket, an aircraft, or an orbiter, it is all based on a weightless and vacuum environment.

In other words, even if the aircraft loses power, the aircraft will not fall directly to the ground like it does on the earth, but will always float in space.

and so.

In view of this weightless feature in space, in order to save fuel, engineers will generally adjust the flight speed of the rocket to a relatively fuel-saving speed.

This situation is similar to driving on the earth. The fuel consumption of 120KM/H and 70KM/H must be relatively lower than that of 70KM/H.

And now what about the Phoenix Group?

80 hours!
What is this concept? !

Running 40 kilometers in such a short period of time can only explain one problem.

The engines of the Phoenix Group are powerful, and their fuel combustion efficiency has reached a very high level.

In other words, I run fast with low fuel consumption!
hiss……!
Everyone present couldn't help but feel tremendous pressure, but Rui Jackson didn't finish his sentence.

He tapped the screen lightly, and a "orbital path" map appeared on the screen.

"In addition, we have to pay special attention to the fact that the Phoenix Group's 'lunar orbiter' this time did not make orbit adjustments in low-earth orbit, but the 'orbiter' after the rocket was pushed into low-earth orbit. 'Just ignite and go straight to the 'Earth-Moon Transfer Orbit'!"

"To put it bluntly, their orbiter did not make any orbit adjustments at all, and went straight on a rampage, taking a 'direct flight' to the moon!"

After saying this, Rui Jackson pushed his glasses, and the faces of everyone present changed completely.

You must know that in space, all aircraft and satellites are subject to the gravitational force of the celestial body and revolve around the celestial body.

Under normal circumstances, for example, if humans want to fly from the earth to the moon, they must first enter space at the "first speed in the universe" (7.9KM/S), enter the earth's orbit, and begin to revolve around the earth.

Immediately afterwards, after the aircraft orbits the earth and reaches the pre-calculated orbital position, the aircraft begins to change orbit, escapes the earth's attraction at the "second speed of the universe" (11.2KM/S), enters the "earth-moon transfer orbit", and then Fly to the moon.

And when it is about to reach the lunar orbit, the spacecraft has to slow down again, and change orbit again to enter the "lunar orbit" with a suitable orbital position.

For example, when Chang'e-7 flew from Earth orbit to the "Earth-Moon Transfer Orbit", it circled the Earth for [-] days and made three orbit adjustments. The purpose is to save fuel and obtain a longer propulsion time.

And what about Phoenix?

How can there be so many bells and whistles, and a reckless direct flight to the moon on the "direct flight route", without considering the orbital change to save money!

Phoenix Group can do this, combined with their flight speed of only 80 hours, it is not just a matter of engine combustion ratio, but the high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen engine developed by Phoenix may have reached an unprecedented top level, its thrust can cope with The transportation between the earth and the moon is more than enough!

The engine is powerful, but it can be reduced by ten times with one force, and everything is much easier!

Thinking of this, everyone present was terrified and chilled!
It wasn't long before Phoenix Group's rocket technology developed so fast? !

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, with shock in their eyes.

After a long time, someone said:
"Now it seems that it is not surprising that the Phoenix Group's 'recoverable rocket technology' has made rapid progress. They have even solved the high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen engine, and the low-thrust engine is naturally not a problem."

Rui Jackson nodded and followed the conversation.

"Now is not the time to discuss their 'recoverable rocket technology', we are in a very troubled position at NASA now!"

After saying this, he glanced around the crowd and said:

"Although the Phoenix Group has only verified the first step of flying around the moon, they have undoubtedly solved the problem of rocket thrust. Maybe they can really land on the moon, and even land on the moon one step ahead of us!"

"Now they have achieved great prestige and reputation in the entire aerospace field. If they are really allowed to advance our moon landing, it will definitely be a historic disaster for us NASA!"

"We will completely lose our position as the leader in the aerospace field!"

As he spoke, Rui Jackson's tone became more serious, and his eyes finally fell on NASA Director William.

"Director William, we are in constant trouble now."

"The International Space Station will soon be decommissioned. Once it is decommissioned, we will no longer have a space station to use. Our allies will all go to the Yanguo Space Station or the Phoenix Group's Voyager Space Station!"

"And once the Phoenix Group lands on the moon or takes the lead in landing on the moon, we will face a bigger blow!"

"As for our SLS rocket, our 'Artemis Project' is even more problematic now, and there is no possibility of landing on the moon in the short term!"

"so……!"

"We have now reached a very dangerous point. The last time we were able to shake our leadership in aerospace in this way was when the Soviets sent cosmonaut Gagarin into space in 1961!"

"We, we are going to do everything we can to compete with Yan Country and Phoenix Group for time!"

After the words fell, not only all the NASA executives present, but even Director William, who was in a high position, felt huge and heavy pressure.

Indeed, Rui Jackson is not alarmist!

Recently, the Phoenix Group has been gaining the limelight in the global aerospace field, and the pressure on NASA is really too great!

Started with the Bionic Robot Space Station, then Comet Collision, and now the Moon Landing!

If the Phoenix Group is really ahead of NASA in landing on the moon, then the leadership of the global aerospace industry will definitely change hands, and countless talents will definitely flow to the Yan Kingdom. This is absolutely intolerable!

Director William's face was serious. After a long silence, he suddenly said in a low voice:

"Ruey is right, our position as a global leader is indeed being challenged enormously."

After saying this, he glanced around the crowd, and finally landed on a senior with a slightly fatter figure.

This high-level executive is the person in charge of NASA's International Space Station project.

"Jock, the International Space Station is indeed a serious problem now, but we cannot decommission the International Space Station at this time, we must extend its service."

The fat executive Jock just wanted to speak, but Director William interrupted directly, and continued:

"I know that the International Space Station has been in service for more than 20 years and has been overdue, but it cannot be decommissioned yet!"

"Now the main problem of the International Space Station is Mao Xiong's problem. Mao Xiong has not had a good relationship with us recently, and wants to make trouble for us."

"However... Damao's space agency is having a hard time now. As long as you contact them personally and tell them that we can provide corresponding funds, I believe they will definitely cooperate with us!"

"They are very short of money now!"

The high-level Jock swallowed the words again.

That's right.

Don't look at Da Mao's space agency clamoring to close the International Space Station, but in fact everyone knows how Da Mao is willing to close the International Space Station.

"Boss, Da Mao's appetite is not small. If we contact them personally, I'm afraid the price we pay will not be small; don't look at them now, but they are also vampires."

Commissioner William shook his head.

"At this time, no matter how high the price is, we must stabilize Da Mao."

"In addition, our space station construction must also be stepped up..."

"Axiom Aerospace (reconnected to the new space station on the original International Space Station, has signed a transportation agreement with SpeacX), Blue Origin and other space station projects. We must also invest more funds to help them, so that they can hurry up and get on track. !"

After saying this, William turned his gaze to the person in charge of the Boeing SLS rocket launch.

His complexion became very ugly. If the problem with the space station was justifiable, then the SLS rocket that Boeing was in charge of launching really blew him up!

After such a long time, the launch of the SLS rocket, which is known as the strongest thrust on the surface of the earth, has been postponed again and again. Now everyone in the world is watching NASA's jokes because of this incident, and they are laughing at the past 50 years. The aviation strength of North America has regressed by 50 years!
"I don't want to say much about Boeing's SLS rocket, Chris."

"Tell Boeing that in the next launch window, we must see the successful launch of the SLS rocket. If not, we will consider working with SpecaX on a larger launch vehicle!"

Before the executive named Chris could answer, William's gaze had already moved away from his face.

After ordering two things in a row, William finally set his sights on Rui Jackson who was standing by the screen.

"Rui, in the face of the threat of the Phoenix Group, do you have any good solutions?"

Rui thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Have!"

"They have an Achilles' heel, a weakness that we can exploit."
