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

Futaba County.

At an altitude of 1,000 meters above the Tomishima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a "US2" seaplane of the Self-Defense Forces flew by at a low speed, then turned back and circled continuously around the nuclear power plant.

The heads of the emergency support and rescue teams from the five countries were all sitting on the left half of the plane, observing the situation below through the portholes.

Although a seaplane is not as convenient as a helicopter, it is safer and less likely to crash. At least it can glide to the sea and land.

Tian Zhan is still wearing a bright orange full-body protective suit. He is holding on to the porthole with one hand and holding the Geiger meter with the other. The latter keeps screaming "geiger" and never stops.

The inner layer of the seaplane is also covered with a layer of radiation-proof material based on aluminum foil. Although the value in the cabin is already very low, it cannot be ignored.

"Bailey, can you let the plane go down a little further?"

The colonel shook his head. He didn't want to take any chances.

This field trip was carried out at the strong request of Tian Zhan, and the seaplane was also equipped with their detector.

The team sent from China has initially locked the location of the sunken reactor core, but there are still some errors.

Lucia, who also needs to use earth-penetrating bombs, is similar. They plan to leave it like this, or use a larger-yield warhead, since they have plenty in stock anyway.

The two sinking cores are not too far apart, at least not for nuclear bombs, so the interval between attacks needs to be as short as possible to prevent the other core from causing large displacements.

Bailey was not interested in these. Anyway, the Pacific Fleet's plan was to test submarine-launched missiles. It planned to modify a Trident and let an Ohio-class attack from the Pacific Ocean to see if Aramco's special skills had deteriorated.

The instructions he received from the other two parties were to collect as much data as possible, especially ballistic trajectories and damage effects.

Originally, the Hexagon planned to dispatch a B1B bomber for airdrops, but the "thunderstorm" suddenly appeared again a few days ago, refreshing people's understanding of its combat power:

It not only circumnavigated the entire island country, but even cruised Hawaii. Judging from this, its voyage will never be less than 20,000, or even 25,000 kilometers.

This distance is too sensitive. A range of more than 20,000 kilometers means that the cruising radius is at least 10,000 kilometers. Along the Pacific route, the "thunderstorm" can wander all the way to the west coast of America and then return in a swagger, and even scare Hawaii by the way!

Departing from the Western Pacific, it directly threatens the West Coast!

And this is a stealth aircraft. Although many people can find it with only their naked eyes and ears, the radar can't find the target at all this time, as if what they see is an illusion and cannot lock on it at all.

Congress immediately realized that the natural barrier provided by the two oceans had huge holes. It was not insurmountable or required to die one way. This fear made them extremely uneasy and they urgently needed to show their strength, so they replaced the B1B with the Ohio class, proving that He is still strong.

Tian Zhan, who had always been unsmiling since that day, became a little scary in Bailey's heart. He was very sure that "Thunderstorm"'s action was a response to the demonstration that day. The fact is that although the demonstration team did not immediately fly around the island, Disbanded, but took no further action.

The seaplane flew around the nuclear power plant for more than an hour before returning to the airport. Then the ground crew took turns disinfecting everyone on it, and finally pushed the plane into a dedicated hangar to await maintenance. This plane will only be used for maintenance in the next few months. For use in radiation zone flights.

Tian Zhan came out of the decontamination cabin and changed his clothes. After communicating with the survey team he was traveling with, he called out to the rest of the people:

"Everyone, we have been able to complete the final precise positioning. Considering that the reactor core is still sinking, we hope to carry out operations as soon as possible, otherwise the second survey will only be more complicated."

Regarding the pollution cleanup issue on Fudao Island, the IAEA has made adjustments again and established the final plan:

Since the earth-penetrating bombs will also produce a small amount of atmospheric pollution, the order is determined to be the cleaning of the No. 1 core, the cleaning of the No. 2 core, and finally the air blast cleaning of radiation.

And because the two reactor cores are still sinking, cleanup must begin as soon as possible to avoid further positioning errors.

Tian Zhan's proposal was very reasonable, and the others had no reason to object.

Sergey: "Tian, ​​how long do you think is the most appropriate time?"

Tian Zhan: "Within two months, our domestic team has set off. It will take a month to continue to complete the survey and become familiar with the environment. The remaining month will be used to choose the opportunity to carry out operations."

Sergey: "Then we are about the same, but it will take some time to prepare the missiles, maybe January."

Both of them finally looked at Bailey, who could only spread his hands:

"I need to ask about the domestic progress first...but I think it shouldn't be a big problem, oh...you may be able to advance it to before December 24th, so that we can catch up with Christmas Eve."

Tian Zhan: "The residents here...will feel safe?"

Bailey: "At least the Pacific Fleet does."

"..."

…

November 22, Beijing.

Xinyuan's C810 landed at the Capital International Airport again. Lin Ju walked down the ramp with a look of helplessness. Behind him was Academician She who was eyeing him eagerly.

The flight of the Nine Chapters a few days ago caused a great shock to the outside world, but what was even greater was that Lin Ju himself actually boarded the spacecraft.

This combination immediately gave the outside world a new understanding of domestic aerospace technology, and made it feel that it was completely different from other aerospace agencies.

No matter how various other aerospace experts reveal that the "Jiuzhang" is just outdated technology covered in new skins, there is a saying that being cool is a lifetime thing. The Jiuzhang has directly attracted fans on a large scale all over the world. These days Videos of spacecraft taking off and landing are spread on the Internet. Every day, people follow and film the spacecraft that has been loaded onto the ship and is halfway through its route.

The fame of Lin Ju, who drove it himself, also greatly increased. Countless people admired his confidence in his own products and speculated that he might even land on the moon himself.

Academician She has now changed his primary task to monitoring Lin Ju to prevent him from messing around - although this is of little use, and he himself can be considered as one who contributes to the situation.

After he took the aerospace shuttle, other people in the space agency were not only envious but also eager to try. Once this kind of thing started, it was difficult to stop it. There was no regulation to convince the comrades that something was going to happen.

Lin Ju, the initiator of everything, is very relaxed. He is still planning to do something big when he comes to the capital this time. The first batch of joint mining expedition teams have been assembled and it is confirmed that they will go out in batches starting next month.

The successive victories of the Nine Chapter spacecraft and aerospace plane have greatly inspired people's confidence in United Mining, at least technically there is no doubt.

The group rested one night at the guest house and went directly to the United Mining Headquarters the next day.

As soon as Lin Ju walked to the gate, he saw the big man's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The latter waited until Lin Ju stepped forward and pinched his shoulders, confirming that his limbs were intact before stretching out his fingers and saying:

"Lin Ju, Lin Ju, your nickname should be Lin DaDa, Lin Qianeng. If we old guys hadn't held you down, you would have flown to the sky, to Mars."

"How do you know that I plan to build a space scientific research center? I will move my offices there when the time comes. It will be convenient."

"..."

"Don't be careless."

Lin Ju's shamelessness made the boss unable to react for a moment. He hesitated before saying with a serious face:

"I have been asked to inform you that the central government has decided that the day after tomorrow will be a good day to get married. You are not allowed to run around until your son can fly a rocket."

"ah?"

This time it was Lin Ju's turn to be dumbfounded, and he quickly waved his hand and refused:

"Zhang Ju, this is my personal problem and there is no need for an organization to solve it."

"Hey, have you forgotten your position in the Aviation Development Commission? This is because I care about you."

The boss admired Lin Ju's confusion for a while without changing his expression. After being satisfied with the success of his counterattack, he explained that it was a joke, and made the latter pat his chest while adding:

"But your personal problems should be solved. Xiao Yu is a good match for you. Choose a date carefully and come and have a glass of your wedding wine if you have time."

Lin Ju, who was still in shock, cursed secretly in his heart. Just as he was about to refute, he suddenly thought of something. He turned to hold the boss's hand and said solemnly:

"Then I'll ask you to come, and Mr. She, you can't just keep your words."

Although Academician She didn't speak just now, he naturally had no reason to refuse Lin Ju's invitation.

"We will definitely come, but you are a rich man, so don't dislike our small gift."

"Yes, you, a rich man, want to imitate Prince Abo and rent a big yacht?"

Lin Ju also echoed the trend:

"That is, but you may have to come to the base then. I will send a plane to pick you up, but you can refuse. People will definitely arrive."

Both of them nodded, but they didn't know that Lin Ju was already thinking about how to assign engineers to ambush in advance, and then carry them directly to the aerospace plane - let me send you all to space, no, to the moon!

Where is the fun in getting married and sending someone to heaven unprepared?

Lin Ju made up his mind to go back and make plans, and then followed the two of them into the headquarters of United Mining, where all the crew members participating in the first phase of the inspection mission had gathered.

There are both professional astronauts and experts from all walks of life, and everyone is looking forward to the trip to the moon in high spirits.

It has only been more than four months since the establishment of United Mining, but it has funded a large number of domestic scientific research teams and enterprises with its vigorous and resolute way of doing things, and now it has made basic preparations.

This meeting can be regarded as a "pledge meeting", but the way of swearing in is by showing one's achievements.

First, the engineer representative from the base disclosed the progress of several large-scale projects such as Long March 18, Jiuzhang, Dawn 1 and Yushu 1, proving that United Mining has made all the basic preparations.

At the same time, the first batch of "lunar fully automatic unmanned energy production systems" have been shipped out from the base. The test machines shipped to Northeast China in the past few months have all achieved trouble-free and continuous operation in harsh environments, and their work efficiency has also improved. Met expectations.

There are currently two sets of official versions in production, one of which has been shipped to Qiongzhou to be loaded into the Jiuzhang spacecraft and launched together next month.
