Chapter 354 Chasing Opportunities
Preparations for the launch at the Daxueshan Base will be completed soon.

Now [Earth Cannon] can maintain a launch frequency of 10 times a day except for maintenance on weekends and holidays. Each time, nearly 100 tons of materials are transported to the sky. It has become a very stable ground-air logistics transportation system.

Such a powerful space transportation capability has made experts and scholars all over the world full of envy and envy. Now only the bald eagle still hopes to catch up with the rabbit. Cannon] Such a powerful electromagnetic rail gun.

It is said that the construction of Bald Eagle's super electromagnetic railgun has already begun. They plan to build an electromagnetic rail launch base in the Sierra Nevada in the southwest, mainly in a cliff terrain on the east slope of the Cordillera Mountain. Since this is a granite landform, it is It can easily withstand the huge recoil force generated during launch, which is much less difficult than the construction of the Daxueshan base.

When talking about this matter, Li Maoye asked Academician Ma beside him: "But I heard that their construction period is procrastinating. It has been more than five years since they have been working on the first phase of the project?"

"I heard a long time ago that the first phase of their project is going to be tested, but only the sound of the stairs is heard but no one comes down!"

Academician Ma said that the other party is just a younger brother. If you want to compare infrastructure with rabbits, you may have to invite bald eagle workers from the 50s and [-]s. However, those people may have already turned into bones and lay in the cemetery!
There is no way, the workers of the Rabbit’s house are too powerful. The first phase of the [Earth Cannon] project was completed in just over a year, and the first test run was perfect for launching the "Starlink" satellite into space, which made Musk bet again. Win a hand.

Relying on the transportation capacity of the [Earth Cannon], SpaceX quickly built the Starlink system, and soon operated and used it for global users, which caused the company's stock price to rise a lot.

Speaking of the Starlink system, after it was taken over by the Meow Star Group, the original satellites have been basically replaced, replaced by the communication satellites developed by Rabbit himself, not only the installation of the Star Engine has the ability to freely change orbits, but also the service life is longer than that of the Starlink system. Chain satellites are much longer.

The mining work of the moon base largely needs to rely on the Starlink system for communication, otherwise the signal delay of remote mining will be unbearably high, and if there is a failure, it may lose communication with the moon base.

With the support of the Starlink system, there is almost no delay in the 5G communication on the surface of Bluestar, and the popularity of Snake Eye VR equipment has made working from home and remote office a trend of the times in recent years.

At noon on the day when the cannon was launched, Li Maoye watched the process at the launch command center of the Daxueshan Base. The [Earth Cannon] was quite different from six or seven years ago. Academician Ma wrapped a layer of sound insulation outside the electromagnetic track, which looked like A giant white pipe is pressed against the Daxue Mountain.

However, the effect of the sound insulation layer is very good. When the cannon is fired, the sound of the railgun running can hardly be heard in the command center of the base. Instead, when the electromagnetic rocket pod shoots out of the muzzle, a loud roar is heard, and then it is almost invisible to human eyes. Disappeared in the sky at an invisible speed.

Li Maoye learned from the monitoring data on the screen that there was no problem with this launch as usual. Judging from the pictures sent back by the camera in the electromagnetic rocket cabin, it will soon enter a low-altitude orbit, and then ignite and start the star engine to fly to Ling Xiaobaodian space station.

When the electromagnetic rocket capsule reaches its destination, it will dock in a designated area of ​​the space station, wait for the staff to empty the cargo inside, and then start the automatic return procedure to return to the ground.

"Well, there is no need to eject the cargo now!" Li Maoye said that this method is much better than before. A few years ago, the electromagnetic rocket capsule needed to be unloaded by ejection. Now that the space station is completed, there is a better way to solve it. question.

Everything is going on very normally. After all, this system has been in operation for so many years. It has sent multiple space stations and Guanghangong Moon Base into space. In addition to Rabbit’s own space station, the Daxueshan Base will also take orders from outsiders. Often helps other countries or companies organize launch deliveries.

Even the foot pot chicken, hairy bear and Europa all use the [Earth Cannon] to transport materials to space, it’s not that they can’t do these things, just because the [Earth Cannon] delivery is more cost-effective, safe and fast, and it can be delivered in one launch. There is no other special reason for hundreds of tons of materials to go to the sky.

Rabbit announced in a high-profile manner the expansion plan of the Lingxiao Palace space station, and that in addition to the Lunar Guanghan Palace base, it also plans to build a new Yutu City, which is intended to be used to carry out lunar travel services.

Different from the low-key approach in previous years, in recent years, especially since the asteroid incident, flower growers are not hiding everything they do, but putting everything on the table with confidence, which really makes Western countries feel Some are not used to it.

The expansion of the space station and the planning of Moon Rabbit City are carried out simultaneously, but the emphasis is different. The space station of Lingxiao Palace is mainly to prepare for the needs of scientific and technological research and development. Working remotely through stand-in robots, so relatively speaking, the above working facilities are seriously insufficient.

During this expansion period, several batches of astronauts will board this synchronous orbit space station for research work. At that time, they will need to stockpile supplies on this space station to prepare for the next surge in personnel. It can be said that this is an aerospace development** * times.

For the rabbits in the home country of the florists, this is a freshness that has never been seen before, and it can make people feel full of passion and energy.

But for the bald eagle and the bear, this kind of situation of the people of the whole country looking up at the sky has been seen before, but that is the memory of the 60s and [-]s of the last century, as if all human beings were full of curiosity and passion for space exploration at that time, and there are two The big camps compete with each other for the first momentum.

Now it belongs to the history of the past. Now the rabbit on the blue star is riding the dust to the starry sky, and only the bald eagle can barely catch up. Others such as the foot pot chicken, the bear and Europa have completely fallen behind They can only watch with envy and hatred that the rabbit has made achievements in outer space.

Even fake news media such as John Bull's BBC and Bald Eagle's CNN have to be loyal to their duties and report once. Although the words and sentences still have a sour taste, they finally affirmed the rabbit's contribution to human beings stepping out of outer space. made an indelible contribution.

At the same time, they also called on Rabbit to develop space stations and even moon bases to other countries, so that scientists of all mankind can conduct outer space research and realize the beautiful vision of joint development and common progress.

"They want to eat fart!" Li Maoye sneered at this.

Even if the flower planting government did not oppose such a proposal on the surface, it is impossible for the Meow Star Group to be dizzy after being praised by others, and then give up its scientific research quota to other countries. At least it must first meet domestic needs. Other countries will be allowed to join when there are vacancies.

It's just that there is a shortage of everything in Rabbit's house, but there is no shortage of talents in all aspects. According to the principle of "rabbit first", let your own people go up first, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the huge demand gap in another ten years!
The Lingxiao Temple space station seems to be very large. Now it can accommodate more than 100 people for research at the same time, and it can increase to hundreds of people in a few years, but in fact, this number of personnel is not enough for rabbits to squeeze their teeth.

Among other things, at least not even Li Maoye has gone up once so far, let alone vacating precious places for researchers from other countries to go up.

In fact, if Li Maoye insists on going to the space station or the moon base, he can still find a way to go there, but he doesn't want to take the liquid rocket, which has a low safety factor and a horrible experience.

"After the queen bee's intelligent network is built, then the quantum computer of the queen bee can be used to build the curvature engine. It will be much easier to go to the sky then!" After Li Maoye made up his mind, he no longer struggled with when to go to the moon base up.

Although the development of space technology is relatively exciting, in fact, Rabbit has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in every aspect of basic technology.

The reason is very simple. Rabbit's view of "being behind will be beaten" is deeply rooted in his bones. Now that the people of the country have become rich, they dare not slack in the slightest and strive to make themselves the number one in the world in all fields.

For rabbits, there are only two countries in the world, one is the flower grower's home country, and the other is a foreign country.

Therefore, once it is found that a certain data is not the first, the rabbit of the flower grower will be restless, thinking that the country will not be the country in the long run.

Only when the number of people lost the first place, the rabbits said that there is no problem. Most of the rabbits are happy to see the white elephant become the most populous country in the world.

"But I think this view is very dangerous!" Li Maoye said in public many times: "Our concept of population influence needs to be changed urgently. When Blue Star enters the interstellar era, all countries will need a large number of high-quality population to compete!"

At the same time, he also intends to put forward relevant proposals at the National People's Congress, calling on the government to introduce policies to encourage high-quality population to give birth. Only in this way can they firmly occupy the leading position in the interstellar era.

Otherwise, according to his deduction, the only way for bald eagles or other countries to overtake rabbits is to create an advantage by creating a large population. If they can suppress the problems caused by population growth, they will definitely have a chance to find a breakthrough in the interstellar era.

But at present, it seems that the governments of the world have not realized this, and even countries like Europa, which continuously introduce refugees, have not woken up. The increase in the number of refugees will not enhance national strength, but will plunge the country into turmoil.
