　The maximum allowed time limit for the Apollo spacecraft's ascent module, from liftoff to docking with the command module, is only five to six hours!

　——Can astronauts’ brains, eyes and hands really surpass half a century of development in computer and AI technology?

　According to Howard Hughes, NASA had no good ideas and could only "rely on the astronauts' vision and brains." He also said that "exploration is always accompanied by inevitable sacrifices" and "the brave will always be favored by the goddess of luck."

　Alas, we can only count on the astronauts of the Apollo spacecraft, each of whom has flying skills comparable to those of Transformers, Starship Troopers, and Trisolarans!

　Just as Ferry was feeling dizzy looking at the pile of formulas Howard had written on the paper, Dr. Kissinger delivered an even heavier blow.

　"In fact, let alone landing on the moon and returning from the moon, NASA scientists are not even sure whether they can safely get astronauts out of the vicinity of the Earth. This is because of the Van Allen radiation belts near the Earth..."

　——The Van Allen radiation belts. These were discovered by American scientist Van Allen during the Explorer 1 mission in 1958. There are two high-energy particle belts surrounding the Earth in the universe. Their shape is a bit like a donut, and the Earth is in the hole in the middle of the "donut".

　Most of these particles come from solar storms, which are captured by the Earth's magnetic field, forming two radiation belts surrounding the Earth.

　The lowest altitude at the bottom of the inner ring of the Van Allen radiation belt is generally about 2000 kilometers from the surface. Sometimes, when it encounters a storm caused by a sunspot eruption, some parts may "dent" and be pressed down to only a few hundred kilometers from the surface.

　The top of the outer ring of the Van Allen radiation belt is between 60,000 and 100,000 kilometers above the ground, embracing the earth like a belt.

　These two "belts" block high-energy particles from solar storms and cosmic rays, thus preventing the Earth's atmosphere from being blown away by the solar wind like Mars.

　The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts is very dangerous for astronauts and artificial space equipment.

　——Whenever we hear the word “radiation,” we think of cancer, radiation sickness, and interference and damage to electronic components.

　In fact, the concept of the Van Allen radiation belt has appeared in science fiction works very early. The four protagonists of Marvel's "Fantastic Four" gained super powers after being exposed to radiation and mutating in the universe. This "cosmic radiation" is actually a metaphor for solar storms and the Van Allen radiation belt.

　But it is impossible for real astronauts to gain superpowers from the Van Allen radiation belts. They may only suffer health damage or even die after contact with them!

　So why does the Van Allen radiation belt seem to be rarely mentioned in human space activities in the following decades?

　The answer is sad, because apart from the Apollo moon landing, whose authenticity is unknown, until the early 21st century, human astronauts had never been more than 1000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. With the exception of the Apollo spacecraft, all other manned spacecraft—whether the Soviet Soyuz or the American space shuttle—can only fly at altitudes below 500 kilometers.

　The International Space Station, which seems to be "high above", actually has an orbital altitude of only 400 kilometers, which is far away from the bottom of the Van Allen radiation belt!

　In other words, until the 21st century, the aerospace technology mastered by humans could only barely reach 500 kilometers beyond the earth.

　The spacecraft that humans claim to be "conquering the stars and the sea" have always been circling in the layer between the atmosphere and the Van Allen radiation belts.

　Alas, with just this little bit of ability, can humans be considered to have left the cradle of the earth?

　At most, he was lying on the edge of the cradle, with his head poking out, right?

　Of course, although manned spacecraft cannot fly that high, various artificial satellites and probes have passed through the Van Allen radiation belts many times.

　——People in later generations have come to know that the Van Allen radiation belts are as thin as silk. As long as you pass through them quickly instead of staying in them for a long time, neither the electronic components of artificial satellites nor the bodies of astronauts will be greatly affected.

　Although if a manned spacecraft stays in the most intense radiation area of ​​the Van Allen radiation belt for a week, the astronauts will definitely receive a lethal dose of radiation and there is no cure - neither thickening the cabin walls nor wearing space suits can prevent it.

　Under normal circumstances, a spacecraft traveling through the Van Allen radiation belts takes only 15 minutes at the fastest and no more than two hours at the slowest. Therefore, the radiation exposure to astronauts during the round trip is less than 1% of a lethal dose! This small risk is practically negligible.

　But in 1968, humanity's understanding of the Van Allen radiation belts was not yet so clear. However, due to the nuclear crisis and the specter of nuclear war that enveloped the world during the Cold War, Westerners' fear of radiation was deeply rooted.

　If the Apollo spacecraft wanted to land on the moon, it would have to pass through the Van Allen radiation belt, so NASA was very worried about this.

　"Because of the Van Allen radiation belts, NASA is not even sure whether astronauts can successfully fly beyond low-Earth orbit."

　Howard said, "Although the Apollo spacecraft had a special design for the command module. Not only did it use a double-layer design for the cabin wall, but it also used copper alloy, titanium alloy, stainless steel, synthetic resin and radiation-proof coating. But no one knew whether these things could withstand cosmic radiation..."

　NASA's solution was to launch a manned Apollo 8 spacecraft in December 1968, using the three astronauts on board as guinea pigs to try to navigate the ship through the Van Allen radiation belts before returning to Earth for a comprehensive physical examination.

　Of course, to ensure their safety, NASA also adjusted the spacecraft's route as much as possible to circumvent the Van Allen radiation belts. Just as the ozone layer has holes at the North and South Poles, the doughnut-shaped Van Allen radiation belts also have holes at Earth's north and south poles. However, due to the performance limitations of the spacecraft and rocket, the Apollo spacecraft could only circumvent the inner ring of the Van Allen radiation belts, and could not avoid the outer rings.

　Finally, if all three astronauts of Apollo 8 returned safely and in good health, that would be the best. If the astronauts were already exposed to radiation and died after such a flight, then the Apollo lunar landing project could be terminated.

　——Such a result shows that with the current technological conditions, humans are simply unable to break out of the safe cradle of the Earth.

　In this way, there is no need to dream of landing on the moon, just play around in the layer between the atmosphere and the Van Allen radiation belt!

　Even if the Van Allen radiation belts did not threaten the lives of the astronauts, a number of technological and manufacturing challenges of the Apollo project remained unresolved.

　When the Apollo moon landings were first planned, scientists laid out many ambitious blueprints. But to date, more than half of these projects remain in limbo. Some haven't even received funding, while others have burned through countless funds with no results.

　What’s even worse is that they spent countless amounts of money but got a bunch of fake data and inflated reports, and scientists can’t even tell the truth from the false!

　In short, due to objective unfavorable factors and subjective dereliction of duty, coupled with serious organizational laxity and lax discipline, by the end of 1968

　, the entire Apollo moon landing project was in fact in a terrible state of "project out of control".

　However, the scientific research difficulties that need to be overcome are still piling up, and there is still no sign of solution.

　Therefore, James Webb, the most ardent advocate of the Apollo moon landing project and the NASA administrator who just retired last month, submitted a final depressing report to the White House before his retirement, claiming that with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to complete a manned moon landing!

　This is really bad news!

　Even the old director who pushed for the Apollo moon landing has run away. Can this out-of-control project continue?

　"That is, we'd better pray that the Apollo 8 spacecraft, which launches from Cape Canaveral next month, will have a smooth and safe return, and that the three astronauts on board, who experienced cosmic radiation firsthand during their passage through the Van Allen radiation belts, are also healthy."

　Firi scratched his head and said with emotion, "Even if the Apollo 8 mission was completely successful, the hope of landing on the moon would still be slim!

　Because the performance of our rockets and spacecraft is unstable, how can the astronauts who land on the moon return from the lunar surface? It all depends on feeling and luck.

　Hell, if the White House insists on a successful moon landing next year and completely defeating the Soviets in the space race, then instead of relying on NASA's progress, it would be better to let the CIA's operative team sabotage the Soviet moon landing project and send spies to tamper with their giant rockets!

　——It is too difficult to promote the Apollo moon landing. Let’s think in reverse and obstruct the Soviet Union’s moon landing!

　"We will successfully land on the moon next year? Not really. President Johnson just asked NASA to send our astronauts to the moon before the Soviet Union successfully lands on the moon. Well, Vice President Kennedy has the same opinion." Kissinger replied.

　Don't insist on a successful moon landing next year? Ferry was stunned when he heard this, but after squinting his eyes and thinking about it, he quickly understood.

　If Nixon had won the election, he would have done some bold things because of the pressure to seek re-election: the thaw in Sino-US diplomatic relations, Nixon's visit to China, the Vietnam armistice negotiations, and even the Watergate scandal, all of which took place during Nixon's first term.

　But now that President Johnson has been re-elected and this is his last term, his style of doing things will naturally be conservative.

　As long as the Soviets didn't successfully land on the moon before the United States, Johnson thought it was an acceptable outcome.

　In short, after receiving this good news, Ferry immediately felt relieved - this request was not difficult at all!

　As a time traveler, Firi knew very well that the Soviet Union's moon landing project would not succeed until the collapse of the Soviet Union!

　Their N-1 rocket, which had 30 rocket engines connected in parallel, had exceeded the Soviet Union's industrial capacity and exploded every time it was ignited.

　Fifty years later, Musk's Falcon Heavy rocket used the same multi-launch parallel technology as the N-1 rocket, with 27 engines connected in parallel in the first stage. Despite being powered by half a century of advanced computer and artificial intelligence technology, it exploded countless times before finally achieving success, learning from its failures. The Soviets certainly couldn't afford to spend as much as Musk.

　As a result, the United States' Apollo moon landing came to nothing, and the United States tied with the Soviets who were also unable to land on the moon.

　It would be nice to let the costly and laborious space race end amicably, right?

　Fili blinked, touched his chin, and thought so.

　It is a CIA "Shelter Girl" training school, responsible for teaching the girls brought by the CIA from foreign countries to speak English and some other knowledge and skills, so that they can be packaged as professional female technicians and sold to wealthy people in the country.

　However, this training school was closed down not long after it opened, and all the female students were bought and taken care of by Fili out of his own pocket.

　But the model of this "harem school" has been retained and continued - the hostess Marita continues to serve as a cultural teacher, giving them lessons and teaching them English and other basic knowledge; Fili will also teach them some American common sense when he is free, and the strong former female guerrilla fighter Alena is their physical education teacher.

　Usually in bed, Fili also likes to call them "teacher" and "classmate" to enjoy the pleasure of being a "teacher bitch".

　Thus, the "harem school" at the Fili family ran from 1961 to 1968. Most girls studied there for seven years. Even Zhao Qiuniang, the last girl to join, had already attended classes there for five years.

　Today, Fili suddenly remembered this matter, so he made a few test papers, wanting to test the learning situation of these "foreign harem members".

　If they have learned enough, then this "harem school" can be closed.

　——Firi did not have high cultural requirements for his female slaves. As long as they could read and write and understood simple common sense and arithmetic, it was enough.

　As a result, he got a complete failure in the exam - no girl could get passing scores in all subjects.

　In other words, their actual educational level does not even meet the standards of an American elementary school graduate...

　"I'm sorry, I'm unworthy of my master and mistress's upbringing. I haven't been able to become a cultured and upper-class slave girl."

　Juanita kowtowed to Fili with a smile, "Master, please punish the little fool Juanita severely!"

　As she spoke so timidly, she shook her plump breasts vigorously, twisted her round buttocks, and made a pitiful voice.

　"

　I'm sorry, we didn't study well, please punish us, Master!"

　The rest of the naked female slaves followed suit and twisted the flesh on their chests into dazzling surging waves.

　I have to say, the sight of six sexy beauties, each with their own unique charm, twisting their hips and breasts and begging for mercy together is truly a vivid and lewd scene.

　Even Fili, who was used to their beauty, couldn't help but feel a little bit of excitement in his heart and couldn't say any words to scold them.

　"Alright!" he scolded with a smile, "Stop twisting and screaming like that! Aren't you tired?"

　"Yes, teacher!" "Thank you, master, for your forgiveness!" After the chaotic replies, the six naked bodies returned to stillness one after another.

　The ambiguous glances exchanged between the female slaves showed that they had anticipated the result of being let off so easily.

　After spending such a long time with Fili, the female slaves have already figured out Fili's temper and preferences. They know that as long as they remain naked, dress up beautifully, and act coquettishly, their master will become easy to talk to.

　——For Fili, the members of his harem are beautiful female beasts that belong only to him, like a group of cute little kittens.

　Will cat lovers and cat owners get angry and even beat their cats because their cats are disobedient or causing damage at home?

　Generally speaking, obviously not. They will only reflect on themselves for not putting things away at home or forgetting to lock up the cat.

　Similarly, for Fili, as long as the female slaves did not try to escape and entertained him with their beauty, he would not care about other things.

　"Come to think of it, I'm also at fault in this matter. I haven't taught them well enough in recent years, nor have I urged them to do their homework."

　Marita, who was also naked at home, sighed and rubbed her chest.

　So don't blame them too much, dear."

　Since Ferry also has a job outside, he goes home mainly to indulge himself, have fun and relax, rather than to do another tedious job.

　"Physical education teacher" Alena is Latin American herself and only speaks Spanish, and she has to learn English along with them.

　Therefore, the one who actually taught these female slaves English was always the mistress Marita, who was equivalent to a general teacher.

　Then, like all the other short-lived beauties, Marita started out diligently preparing lessons, writing lesson plans, and assigning homework to each girl. But soon, with no one to supervise her, she started to get lazy and her teaching became erratic.

　Anyway, Marita and Fili both speak fluent Spanish, so even if the female slaves can't speak English, it won't affect daily communication.

　In addition, under Fili's instigation, the female slaves in the harem were gradually turned lesbian and became addicted to each other's beautiful bodies.

　These female beasts who are addicted to lust kiss and hug each other from morning to night. They cuddle every morning, have group sex in the afternoon, and play H games at night, from sex machines to enemas, from human cakes to female body furniture, as well as the oriental-style "rope art" bondage technique.

　Later, they also used the magical phantom holographic scenery in the underground shelter to play various exposure games and human landscape photography - the photography equipment was all bought by Phiri from the old house of the Kim family in Hollywood and his second brother Anthony, a director.

　The studio was also obtained from the CIA.

　A lot of nude photos and nude short films were taken of each girl - of course, there were more group photos and lesbian porn films.

　Marita, who almost became the First Lady of Cuba, was even enthusiastic about making a real movie to fulfill her dream of becoming the queen. Unfortunately, the framing and props were easy to deal with with the help of magic. But with the entire cast (except Fieri) being almost all women and having to remain naked throughout, how to write the script was a bit of a headache.

　However, after referring to many H novels, they still managed to come up with a preliminary script: it is basically a story about a naked white female survivor who suffered a shipwreck and drifted to a savage tribe of naked Amazon warriors, and then was accepted by the queen of the tribe to fight monsters together.

　——Since the cultural and entertainment life is so rich, there is less time for study. At the same time, cooking, cleaning the house and washing bedding every day take up a lot of time. The girls have even less energy to study well, and Marita is becoming more and more lazy to prepare lessons carefully.

　This is just like the office workers in the 21st century who would rather watch TikTok and play games in their spare time than read books to recharge themselves.

　What's more, after all the students were bought by Fili and removed from the CIA's product catalog, the naked female slaves no longer had the pressure to continue their studies, let alone the motivation to learn. As a result, from the second year onwards, Fili's "harem school" only had one to two classes a day on average, and physical education classes were almost all changed to "sex education experience classes or H exercise classes", forcing everyone to exercise through group sex.

　Cultural classes often just required the female slaves to watch TV and private movie projectors and learn English in front of the screen.

　In addition, classes would often be suspended for a few weeks, and the slaves would take turns to "work and study" and volunteer at the "Marilyn Dream Open-Air Body Spa and Beauty Salon" next door, serving the ladies and wives who came to have fun, and allowing the female slaves to have some contact with the outside world so that they would not be completely disconnected from society.

　It is really even more lax and "relaxed" than the public schools in the poor streets of the United States in the 21st century.

　With such a lax teaching method and a nonchalant learning attitude, how can these female students achieve good results?

　The only exception among the "hardworking students" was Zhao Qiuniang, the last to join. Because she spoke neither English nor Spanish, she initially couldn't communicate with anyone in the family. Therefore, she was initially very motivated to learn English. Even when Marita's teaching was half-hearted, she would use the English-Chinese dictionary, Chinese (Taiwanese) English textbooks, and other textbooks that Firi gave her, and consciously use every spare moment to study.

　So apart from her terrible sports performance, Zhao Qiuniang was actually an excellent student with the best written test scores - as an Asian, she is naturally smart!

　As for math and science, none of the women in the harem had any interest in them. Furthermore, they didn't use them in their daily lives, so aside from the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, they couldn't even solve the simplest linear equations. Kate, the dumbest of all, even struggled with multiplication and division.

　Well, in terms of sex education, every girl did very well and had a very solid foundation of knowledge - because their sex lives were so rich every day. If they didn't know enough about their body parts, they would be afraid of accidentally hurting themselves, or accidentally hurting others!

　"Hey, I understand the general teaching situation, but... Juanita, why did you get a zero in music?"

　——Music classes at the public elementary school level only require students to master any instrument and be able to play a song to pass.

　So, some of the women in Fili's harem played the recorder, some played the guitar, some played the harmonica, some played the violin, and some played the drums, and they all passed the test smoothly. Only Juanita could not play any instrument and handed in a blank paper.

　Fili was very confused about this - even if Juanita was stupid, she couldn't be unable to play the harmonica, right?

　Then, in response to her master's question, she immediately stood up and came over, reaching under Fili's crotch, grabbing something and gently squeezing it, "Because this is the instrument I practice! I'm busy blowing your meat pipe every day, so how can I have time to play the flute with my mouth?"

　Feeling the touch of a pair of soft little hands and listening to Juanita's righteous rebuttal, Fili and Marita looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

　because
