When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 787 Lectures and Popular Science in Space
Seeing Wang Donglai successfully rescue Mary had a huge impact on the Bald Eagle Federation.

They have always regarded themselves as the most powerful country in the world, whether in terms of economy, culture, politics, or military, and they have always maintained this attitude in their external propaganda.

Therefore, even though they verbally expressed their anger upon seeing China successfully land on the moon, they were not actually that worried.

Since they have succeeded decades ago, there is no reason why they cannot do it again decades from now.

But how things unfolded dealt them a harsh blow.

Their own spacecraft malfunctions in space, and the astronauts face a life-or-death crisis.

If it were just a collapse, that would be fine.

After all, spacecraft are high-tech products, and it's understandable that they might make some mistakes.

But who could have imagined that the Bald Eagle Federation couldn't even offer a rescue?

There was also no mention of launching rockets from the ground to rescue astronauts trapped in space.

Finally, they had no choice but to send humanitarian aid to China to rescue their own astronauts.

It's important to understand that the official narrative has always portrayed them as the most advanced country, possessing the most powerful technology.

Who could have imagined that something like this would happen today?

Leaving aside the thoughts of ordinary citizens of the Bald Eagle Federation who watched the live stream.

At this moment, the leaders of the Bald Eagle Federation's space sector in the command center also had extremely complicated feelings.

The rescue efforts undertaken by China were far too simplistic.

It was done effortlessly, without the slightest strain.

"What an astonishing speed of development!"

Madier sighed with a complex expression.

Even if he disliked China, he couldn't deny the development of China's science and technology.

Not only did they not deny it, but they also felt immense admiration for it.

It was because he was the leader of NASA in the United States of America that he knew the difficulty of developing space technology.

China went from being extremely poor and backward to catching up and even surpassing others.

They even have less funding than them, yet their development speed is still so fast.

Even as an opponent, Madier had to admit his admiration.

Previously, he firmly believed that the Bald Eagle Federation's aerospace technology was the strongest in the world, and that the greatest technology and talent were all in the Bald Eagle Federation.

However, based on today's events, Madier has realized that China has truly caught up.

It has even surpassed that.

Next, NASA will face fierce competition between the two countries in the aerospace field.

China has landed on the moon and announced plans to build a base there and begin formally developing the moon.

If other countries had proposed such a plan, Madir certainly wouldn't have believed it.

Whether it's Russia, India, or other countries, or even his own, Madir wouldn't believe it.

But it was precisely because China proposed this plan that Madier believed it.

Although he had little contact with China, from the limited contact and understanding he had, he knew one thing: China truly kept its word.

Now that China has successfully landed on the moon, this experiment has confirmed the maturity of China's related technologies.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that China will conduct multiple launches in the future.

Given China's responsiveness and efficiency, it will likely launch rockets one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

Just like the development of naval power.

Last year, GalaxySpace alone was able to carry out twenty launch missions throughout the year.

If it were China, going all out, the number would probably be zero.

Despite the possibility of such a situation unfolding later, Madier remained quite calm.

Because he knew he could no longer hold onto his position.

Even if the situation worsened later, the blame still fell on him.

Thinking about it this way, Madier felt much more at ease.

It's like finding joy in hardship; the only good news amidst a bunch of bad news.

the other side.

Masla's expression was also not good.

Because he knew that SpaceX's good days were probably over.

Previously, SpaceX had successfully gained global fame and attracted capital investment thanks to its unique business model.

Therefore, even knowing that a private aerospace company in China was following the same path as SpaceX, he was not worried.

He still had some understanding of China.

First, they didn't believe that China had such a deep technological foundation; second, they believed that their own research and development speed would be faster.

But events unfolded in a way that dealt Masla a harsh blow.

Rocket engines, laser welding technology, parallel power control systems...

GalaxySpace is rampaging through the aerospace field with an unparalleled ferocity.

It was just like a wild boar, displaying its power wantonly.

Twenty rocket launches to build their own space station in space.

They immediately followed up with a lunar landing.

Step by step, without the slightest hesitation.

SpaceX's long-standing slogan is Mars colonization, which was originally just a promotional slogan.

Masla wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that with current space technology, let alone colonizing Mars, even landing on Mars would be an extremely difficult task, and it was unknown when it would be completed.

But now.

GalaxySpace, which had only been in the aerospace field for two years, successfully completed a lunar landing.

Masla simply wouldn't believe the speculation that Galaxy Aerospace's technology had official support from China.

The reason is very simple.

If China's aerospace industry truly possessed such technology, it would be impossible for it to be handed over to a private enterprise.

Because the impact of such a major event is immense.

Even if they wanted to find someone to conduct experiments and find out the problem, they wouldn't do it that way.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

That is, GalaxySpace relied entirely on its own technical expertise to complete the lunar landing.

Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain this.

"Fortunately, GalaxySpace is not listed on the stock exchange!"

Masla felt a sliver of hope; if GalaxySpace had gone public, SpaceX's stock price would probably have plummeted by now.

However, Masla was not prepared to let things continue like this.

He certainly wouldn't give up something as valuable as SpaceX.

Looking at Madil beside him, Masla's eyes revealed a hint of sympathy and sarcasm, and he said, "Mr. Madil, now that our astronauts have been successfully rescued, it's time for us to do what we need to do."

"This isn't just my business. Don't forget, your SpaceX team is also involved in this return-to-the-moon mission."

"Not to mention the problems that have arisen with the Orion spacecraft this time, there is still no concrete analysis. This matter must be properly resolved."

Madir was very politically astute, and upon hearing Masla's words, he immediately understood his true thoughts.

So he spoke frankly and said those words.

“Of course I understand that.” “The Orion spacecraft is currently drifting in space, and no one really knows exactly what malfunction occurred, right?”

"After all, without the actual product, no one can be sure. At most, we just need to invest some additional resources."

"However, there is still an urgent matter before us."

"That is, China will not bring our astronauts back, and we will not accept them."

"Therefore, we must launch a rocket to bring our space heroes back."

"Although this space mission failed, the performance of our astronauts in the sky is well known."

"We can look at and evaluate a thing from a different perspective."

"This is good for both of us, isn't it?"

Hearing Masla say this, Madil had a feeling for a moment as if he were hearing the whispers of a demon.

This is clearly a bad thing, a huge embarrassment in front of the world, yet it's being promoted as a good thing.

This thought only lingered in Madier's mind for a moment before he dismissed it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

indeed!

According to Masla, this would be of great benefit to him.

We really need to follow Masla's advice and suppress the negative aspects of something, instead focusing on the positive ones.

This is no longer a bad thing, but a good thing.

Thinking this, Madier asked, "Indeed, you're absolutely right!"

"However, there is one prerequisite for this: we must bring the astronauts back from space as soon as possible."

Masla nodded in agreement.

……

space.

The spacecraft Houyi is not small.

The design was actually based on a three-astronaut crew, with ample redundancy.

It's not just about space, but also about fuel and power, among other things.

Therefore, rescuing Mary did not affect Wang Donglai's space in the spaceship cabin at all.

The only impact was that Wang Donglai couldn't be as carefree as a person.

However, this really didn't matter to Wang Donglai.

Meanwhile, as the Houyi spacecraft slowly detached from its lunar orbit and returned to the space station, Wang Donglai was also busy.

Originally, he wanted to use this experience of landing on the moon to vigorously promote the development of science and technology.

The reason for such rapid scientific and technological development is quite simple: there have been breakthroughs on the moon.

As Qian Xuesen once said, even the most foolish person can learn calculus.

Although Wang Donglai's achievements and status at this moment are not as high as Qian Lao's, they are quite similar on another level.

Therefore, Wang Donglai has the right to do this and say this.

At least in the field of mathematics, no one would question him.

You should know that there are only three kinds of people in the field of mathematics: monkeys, monkeys that can calculate, and gods.

The entry barrier to the field of mathematics is genius.

Only geniuses can get started.

But that's just the beginning; only geniuses can achieve great things in the field of mathematics.

In the field of mathematics, Wang Donglai's status is comparable to that of Gauss and others in textbooks.

Some even more radical people believe that Wang Donglai is the only true mathematician of our time.

Mathematics, on the other hand, is a tool for understanding the essence of the world.

It's perfectly understandable that someone who has achieved such great success in mathematics would also make achievements in other fields.

Therefore, Wang Donglai only took a short rest.

It was still 7 p.m. in China when the live stream was turned on again.

This time, Wang Donglai wasn't going to chat with netizens, but rather to provide scientific information.

The topic was readily available: aerospace, the universe...

Before making the decision, Wang Donglai had already notified the ground team and Galaxy Technology.

The news was immediately promoted on major platforms such as Douyin.

To attract more people to listen to the live stream, Wang Donglai generously decided to give away 10 million yuan in cash red envelopes for each science popularization live stream.

This cash bonus will be distributed by Wa to ensure fairness and impartiality.

The news sparked immense excitement among countless netizens.

If someone else said this, it might not be very credible.

But everyone still believed what Wang Donglai said.

Because Galaxy Technology is truly wealthy; Wang Donglai is the world's richest man.

Secondly, Wang Donglai is really willing to spend money; he's very generous!

As soon as the time came, a large number of netizens flooded into the live stream room.

Douyin expanded its servers long before the moon landing, enabling it to accommodate a large number of users and provide online services.

Therefore, the massive influx of netizens did not have a significant impact on the live stream.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Donglai!"

"I am currently inside the spacecraft, exiting lunar orbit and preparing to return to Earth."

"I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss science with you and talk about our understanding of the universe."

"Many people may not know much about GalaxySpace."

“We have faced a lot of skepticism since we were just starting to enter the aerospace field.”

"This is not just an external voice, but also an internal idea."

"Why enter the aerospace field when the risks are so high, the technical requirements are so demanding, the commercial benefits are still unclear, the cost recovery is a long way off, and making a profit is almost impossible?"

"However, I still insist on developing the aerospace business."

"Because I know that humanity's future lies in space."

"Space is the dream of countless people. From ancient times to the present, countless people living on this land have looked up at this starry sky, written poems, and written glorious chapters."

"Now that technology has advanced to this point, how can we waste such a great opportunity?"

"Exploring the stars and the universe is the best gift we can leave to future generations!"

"..."

After making some general, perfunctory remarks, Wang Donglai got down to business and began to speak.

Wang Donglai's live broadcast did not initially attract much attention from scientists.

Because the initial publicity only said that Wang Donglai would be broadcasting live from space and would be preparing a cash prize of ten million yuan.

Therefore, no scientists would pay special attention to this live broadcast.

However, as Wang Donglai continued speaking, the situation changed.

The first topic Wang Donglai discussed shocked everyone.

Galaxy Bio's pharmaceutical research and development capabilities have long been well-known.

Countless people are exploring the secrets of galactic life, but no one expected that Wang Donglai would bring this up during a live broadcast from space.
