I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?.

Chapter 656 Fast forward
"Qianjin officially completed 14 days of continuous full-state testing and continued to improve the 0.3G standard gravity."

"India's first two astronauts will enter space aboard 'Gaganyan-10' in days."

"SS-5 launch postponed to April 4, Musk: It will successfully enter orbit as planned."

"The Artemis 17 crew returned safely, reaching a new record of days of activity on the lunar surface."

"Chiwu-3 will conduct the second phase of testing and conduct technical verification for the Chengdu Space Power Station"

Hexagon Building, Office Thirteen.

David Usnow entered the office and first browsed the latest aerospace news as usual.

It is now March 3, nearly three months have passed since the establishment of the 22th Office, and all work has stabilized.

To put it bluntly, the value of the existing information has been basically squeezed out. Before discovering new trends, the job of the Thirteenth Office is to formulate various plans and deal with those solemn-looking elites from time to time.

In fact, the previous structure of the forward number can achieve 100 revolutions per minute while retaining 5% safety margin.

The Aviation Development Commission is taking frequent actions. Qianjin has been tested for more than 20 consecutive days and has been running at a maximum speed of two revolutions per minute for 14 days. It will continue and may take a month or even two months to complete. stop.

In NACA's view, this is almost the gravity space station they need in the future. It is strong enough, can flexibly adjust gravity, and has a large enough living space.

The outside world is also learning more and more about the Qianjin. For example, its maximum speed is actually more than two revolutions per minute.

The normal activities of astronauts in this gravity environment will be affected, but if they lie in a special sleep cabin, it is very suitable to strengthen bones and muscles during sleep, and can also reduce the time it takes for astronauts to maintain their physical condition during long flights. .

Two revolutions per minute is the maximum acceptable operating speed when astronauts need to move normally in the cabin and look out the window without causing obvious dizziness or other discomfort.

As time gradually passed, the panic of the higher-ups about aliens also decreased a lot, and some of their energy was transferred to the earth.

As for the method of connecting and rotating several starships head-to-head, although it is simple and crude, there are not many actual comfortable areas. If it really wants long-term survival, it is not as effective as the Advance.

In fact, if you increase the speed to 3.8 rpm, you can simulate a standard gravity of 0.98G, which is almost the same as the earth. However, even if you are sleeping, your body will begin to be affected at this time, so 3.5 rpm is used as the limit.

In order to obtain follow-up evidence, the lunar nuclear bomb test explosion plan is the focus of the Thirteenth Office.

In actual operation, it can operate safely at a speed of 3 to 3.5 revolutions per minute, generating a gravity of 0.6G to 0.85G, which is basically close to standard gravity.

As a senior alien enthusiast, he has completely convinced that the M incident was caused by aliens, and has tried his best to find possible traces.

But David thought it was harmless. Anyway, all he wanted was to build an entire deep space stronghold to resist aliens. As for lowering the living standards of astronauts, it was simply not worth considering.

As long as camouflage signals are detected after a nuclear explosion, the "energy threat" theory will be formally established. Otherwise, a serious question mark needs to be raised, and at least other possible reasons need to be found.

David naturally has the authority to understand the progress of the test of the first nuclear bomb on the moon. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not make any intervention. The test date has now been finalized on May 5th, and the Tianmu-9 detection mission will be launched before then.

The equivalent of 150 million tons is neither too big nor too small, and is just right for any purpose. "Mr. Usno, the hound team sent a piece of valuable information!"

The assistant suddenly knocked on the door. David was a little unhappy at first, but he became more interested after hearing that it was about the affairs of the "Hound Dog" team.

The Hound Team is commanded by the CIA and is responsible for screening sensitive content on Earth, both related to aliens and sending content they think is useful.

What was sent this time was information from public channels. The Hound Team stated at the end of the report that they were trying to find ways to spy on confidential content, and the content was:

The Space Development Commission has officially approved the deep space exploration plan, and will launch the exploration plan for Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in one go this year. The overall plan is to launch a spacecraft with a mass of more than 500 tons within a few months!
……

The day before, Beijing.

The deep space exploration project research team was formed after John's anniversary speech on January 1. It has been conducting on-and-off research for two months and will make a final decision this night.

Lin Ju, who was waiting for the others to arrive, took out a bottle of "Anshentol" from his arms and drank it in one gulp. He quickly changed from a yawning state to a state of high spirits, and his whole look became different.

These days, there are a lot of things like Advance, NPAE, Saturn exploration and so on, which makes him, the hands-off shopkeeper, extremely busy.

Zhong Cheng watched Lin Ju once again abuse stimulants that were not certified by the Food and Drug Administration. He sighed and took out a bottle of oral liquid from his pocket. He looked at each other with other people who were doing the same thing and smiled with understanding.

With Lin Ju leading by example, people in the Aviation Development Committee who lacked daily rest quickly accepted and fell in love with "Anshentol", especially when taking one before going to bed to deal with work, which can not only improve efficiency but also have a good sleep.

But the disadvantage is that you have to limit your working time to no more than two hours, and you will fall asleep soon after that.

After each person took a bottle to soothe his nerves, the refreshed research team began to exchange opinions with each other again.

"...Power is very important. The use of conventional power or nuclear power directly determines the entire direction and importance of the plan."

"Motivation is not a problem. I still think this is a smoke bomb for NACA. The investment is too high and the time is too long. It is impossible in 10 years."

"Whether there is competition or not, we will start deep space exploration sooner or later. We just need to consider these in the early stage."

"..."

After many early meetings, everyone's opinions have been basically unified: when the number of Ami channels cannot be clearly seen, start conservatively with unmanned detection.

Arguments usually come at a later stage, and no matter how fierce the argument is, it actually doesn't mean much.

In essence, Xinyuan's Saturn exploration plan has taken shape. The 300-ton mass of the Typhoon assembly is quite scary. Add in the Zhurong, which adds up to 500 tons. There are also four Tianwen projects, and the determined scale has already made it big. Peace of mind.

Zhong Cheng did not participate in the discussion much. He had already accumulated a thick stack of reports. The deep space exploration plan had long been extended to the space industry, and the final report submitted was just for confirmation.

The extremely efficient closing meeting ended in a hurry in only one and a half hours. Zhong Cheng said a few words and left the meeting.

Compared with things that are more than a billion kilometers away, he is still more concerned about the Advance, which involves almost all the energy of the Aviation Development Commission.
