Moscow.

Federal Security Service.

A man in a gray leather jacket sat behind the desk and pointed the table with a pen in his hand while looking at the report on the desk.

At this time, a knock on the door came from outside the office.

Stopped the movements on his hands, and the man sitting behind the desk looked at the door.

“Please come in.”

The door pushed open and a man with a thin face came in.

“The latest report of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, as well as the news of the Federal Space Agency,” put the information in his hand on the table, and the man with a thin face continued to say, “It seems that the Chinese people have succeeded.”

The index finger was lightly clicked on the table, and the man sitting behind the desk picked up the information and turned it up one page.

About five minutes have passed.

He put the information in his hand down and turned his attention to the agent standing at the desk.

“Only this information?”

The agent expression dignified nodded, continue.

“The local army patrols are too strict. There are reconnaissance planes in the vicinity of the airspace and patrols at high altitudes. It is too easy to get close to the air. We can only observe at a distant location.”

The man wearing a gray leather jacket is nodded, and there is not much trouble for his own subordinates.

After a pause, he slowly stood up from the office chair and took the information together with the previous report.

“I will report this to Vladimir Mister, the latest news of the Aussie, so that the Foreign Intelligence Agency will keep an eye on it. Once there is any new discovery, report it to me immediately.”

“Especially the propulsion system they use…”

“I need to know what it is!”

……

There is a little Lu Zhou who does not guess.

Although the ground command was indeed confused for a while after discovering that he was missing, but after learning from Nie Yun that Lu Zhou was safely staying on the auspicious, the people who were in a panic gradually calmed down.

After all, people are already in the sky, and even if they are in a hurry, they are useless.

It’s impossible to make a half-turned space shuttle turn a corner and come back.

Therefore, after confirming the safety of Lu Zhou, Hou Guang quickly recovered his calmness and shouldered the ground command.

Cruise time 5 hours 27 points.

At the time of passing through China, the aerospace plane of Xiangrui had contacted CTV through the transfer of the ground command in accordance with the original plan, and sent a New Year’s Day congratulatory video of 25 seconds.

Originally this video was planned to be shot by two astronauts, but now there are not just two people on the Xiangrui. Nie Yun and Nie Wei are also embarrassed to think that Lu Zhou does not exist. Lu Zhou is naturally not willing to refuse such an interesting one. Things, so the video originally scheduled to be shot by two people changed to a three-person frame.

At the end, Lu Zhou, standing at the C position, arched his hand to the lens, representing the astronauts and the ground command, and so on. He congratulated the people of the whole country on a happy New Year’s Day and drew a full stop for the entire video.

Just when Lu Zhou laughed and sent the video back to the ground command, North America, which was 13 hours later than Beijing, finally ushered in the early morning of New Year’s Day.

However, last night, I did not know how many people were insomnia because of the news that Columbia TV suddenly reported.

According to Twitter’s official statistics, in the first half of 12’s 31 day, the football game is entering the final high tide, but almost one third North American is discussing the space plane launched from the opposite side of Earth.

This is extremely rare…

For a long time, the pride of being a space power has been written in the bones of Americans and even become a part of culture. It’s not just because only Hollywood can make a real sci-fi blockbuster, but also because no country has ever surpassed the US in the aerospace industry since the Cold War.

The past is impossible, and the future is impossible.

However, today the name of the eccentric air plane was successfully launched, but it made this pride fall to the ground.

Especially when people heard that the rumored auspicious, the means of launch used was actually electric propulsion!

This kind of shock and incredible from the bottom of my heart is even more difficult to express in words…

In particular, practitioners in the aerospace industry, especially those working on space giants such as Space-X and blue origins, can hardly believe their eyes after seeing this news on TV.

NASA’s most advanced electric propulsion technology can’t even throw an egg into the sky. The star technology that makes “technical service” for lithium batteries is actually using electric propulsion technology. ? ?

Is there anything more sci-fi than this?

Instead of believing in this fact, they would rather believe that this is a April Fool’s Day joke four months ahead…

Except for engineers who work in the origins of Space-X and blue, the most headaches are NASA employees.

Originally, they should take a comfortable vacation at home and take their wife and children to Hawaii to enjoy the warm sunshine. However, at the moment they were all forcibly pulled out from the holiday because of the damn sky plane opposite the Pacific Ocean. .

It’s just like this. From last night, outside the NASA headquarters building, it’s already been circulated by the media’s OB vans. It’s not scattered until the next morning, so many people come to work. They were all stuck in the doorway. It took a lot of effort to ask the reporter who had handed the needle into the microphone and squeezed into the building.

In order to send away these annoying journalists, NASA had to hold a press conference under it, and all the reporters present at the reception hall were invited to the reception hall in the building, and this huge mission was given to the internship who just received the induction training. Health.

In an unprepared riot, the press conference barely began.

Because there were so many reporters on the scene, the order at the scene was extremely chaotic.

There was no time left for the spokesperson to speak. The reporters in the lecture hall swarmed up and madly handed out the recording pen and microphone in their hands.

“This is a reporter for Columbia TV. I would like to ask you, is the news about the use of the latest electric propulsion system by the auspicious space shuttle launched by China?”

“… Does the successful launch of Xiangrui mean that China has caught up with us in the aerospace field?”

“…I want to know where the 40 billion yuan is spent every year!”

“We did receive notifications about the launch of the new space shuttle in China, but they did not specify in the briefing what kind of launch technology they used,” NASA’s spokesperson turned the ballpoint pen in his hand. The speed of speech quickly said, “We will keep a close eye on the further progress of the matter, and there is nothing to say now.”

“But what I want to say is that the successful launch does not mean that this is a successful launch, from the launch of the spacecraft, to the orbital operation, to the final return to the atmosphere… only this series of operations is completed, can be counted as It is a successful manned space flight.”

When this sentence came out, it suddenly caused a small commotion on the scene.

The reporter from The New York Times keenly heard the spokesman’s hidden meaning, and immediately handed out the microphone and asked sharply. “What do you mean, the auspicious number using the latest electric propulsion technology may fail during the return to the atmosphere? Is this the opinion of NASA?”

“I have not said this,” the spokesperson opened his mouth, but did not say the negative words, but expressed his views in a ambiguous and unclear way. “Is the auspicious name used? The electric propulsion power system has yet to be confirmed. Similarly, whether this launch of Huaguo can be called a successful launch depends on whether they can make the astronauts return safely.”

When I heard this, the eyes of the New York Times reporter were bright.

Not just the reporters of The New York Times, but the same is true of journalists from other media.

A noisy sound spread from the scene, and the atmosphere was suddenly pushed to the high peak.

Big news!

NASA predicts that the auspicious design is flawed or will crash into the atmosphere? !

Standing on the stage, the quiet spokesperson stressed that he was sweating and began to feel overwhelmed.

Sure enough, the intern is still too young.

Although it has already said not one drop of water can leak out, it still gives reporters an opportunity to interpret from other ideas.

However, even if the scene of the press conference has become a mess, NASA has no scruples for the rest of the time. Compared with how the outside media interpret this matter, they are obviously more concerned about the situation of Xiangrui in the sky. How’s it going……
