Chapter 330 You Actually Got the Point Wrong! (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

In order to return to the top of the aerospace field, NASA has put in a lot of effort this time.

In order to calm domestic anger, the Space Exploration Company held a press conference.

Bill pointed to the polygonal capsule on the projection and said: "The human life-support device is an important part of our space exploration. It is precisely because of it that we have the confidence to transport people to outer space. After all, every person who goes to outer space They are all heroes of mankind, and of course we must protect them."

Bill's specially emphasized words resonated with people and reduced their anger against him.

"This device integrates the most cutting-edge technology and engineering achievements to ensure the safety and comfort of astronauts in extreme environments such as the moon and Mars."

"The human life support device is made of high-strength, lightweight materials, which not only ensures the device's sturdiness and durability, but also effectively reduces the overall weight, making it easier to transport and install in space."

"The interior of the device is spacious and has a user-friendly design. It provides all the basic facilities needed for astronauts' lives, such as sleeping areas, work areas, bathrooms, etc., to ensure that astronauts can maintain physical and mental health during their long-term space life."

"In terms of life support systems, human life support devices are equipped with advanced oxygen generators, water circulation processing systems and food synthesizers."

"The oxygen generator can continuously provide fresh oxygen to astronauts through electrolysis of water or other chemical reactions. The water circulation treatment system can purify and recycle astronauts' domestic wastewater and urine, reducing space transportation costs."

"In terms of food, I'm sorry, we are stepping up the development of more delicious food. Now everyone can only eat compressed biscuits. Our scientific researchers will work hard to let everyone eat fried chicken and French fries in space."

Everyone will smile knowingly when they hear this. For Ugly Chinese, there is nothing more attractive than fried chicken and French fries. If so, it is freshly baked chicken and French fries.

"After listening to this, of course everyone is most concerned about what we are going to use to deliver it."

The projection behind Bill suddenly changed, revealing a silver-gray rocket.

"This is the latest starship V3 of Space Exploration Company that we are going to introduce!"

"It is 121 meters high and 9 meters in diameter. It can be said to be the most powerful launch vehicle in the world today!"

"Space Exploration Company has made major improvements to the super-heavy booster. The new engine control algorithm is more precise and efficient, which can make the power output of the super-heavy booster more stable during flight and greatly enhance its reliability. and security.

"The newly added large sloshing baffles on the liquid oxygen tank effectively solve the problem of propellant sloshing that may occur during the booster's flip maneuver. The design of these baffles can effectively reduce propellant sloshing. amplitude, ensuring a stable supply of propellant during flight, thereby further improving the performance of the super-heavy booster.”

"What is even more eye-catching about this technological update is the starship's carrying capacity. The starship's recovery capacity is 150 tons, and the one-time launch can reach 250 tons!"

"This amazing carrying capacity makes the starship a top tool for our space exploration. It can send a large amount of materials to space at one time and can support various scientific experiments, space station construction and deep space exploration missions."

People in the news media present were very excited when they heard this. You must know that China's Bai Di carried nothing but a communication satellite and an astronaut during his trip to the moon.

This proves that Baidi's load will not be too large!

But Starship V3 is different. It can send a large amount of materials and people to space at one time!

So what are they afraid of?

Bai Di landed on the moon as soon as he landed on it, but his transportation capabilities are not as good as theirs, which means that they can definitely build a base on the moon faster than them!

Those present couldn't help but imagine that when Starship V3 flew to the moon fully loaded with supplies and personnel, the spectacular scene was enough to make people excited. It will provide a steady stream of material support for the construction of the lunar base!

In this case, can the construction speed be faster?

News media people have regained their confidence at this moment, and the Chinese people also feel that there is hope.

"I just said how could our technology lag behind that of the Chinese? Isn't this a joke?"

"Yes, our technology has always been world-leading, and Starship V3 is a good proof!"

"Now it seems normal that we did not go to the moon, because our people wanted to go directly to build a base, which is different from the Chinese people who walked around and planted a flag."

"What the Chinese are playing now are leftovers from what we played decades ago. There is nothing to say!"

"Poor Chinese people are still complacent. No wonder NASA doesn't want to answer the question of the Apollo moon landing. If it were me, I wouldn't answer it either!"

"Mars is 55 million kilometers away from us, and the moon is only 380,000 kilometers away. It's obvious who has the better technology!"

The ugly Chinese people's remarks quickly spread to domestic websites. Many people saw it and jumped out immediately.

"I just said that our technology will never be the best in Blue Star. Only the really powerful people use their big moves!"

"How can we outperform others in the aerospace field? Isn't this funny?"

"It's better to be humble at all times. If you publicize the success of the moon landing with great fanfare, don't you end up being beaten in the end?"

"So, the Chinese are still too easy to deceive!"

"You should still reflect on yourself, why you still can't catch up with others after so many years!"

These remarks were so special that they appeared on every platform. After Shan Xing turned on his phone, he took two glances and dared not look directly at them.

It's really too outrageous.

Luo Yao, who was sitting opposite him, was not affected at all. Even after listening to Bill's speech, he just calmly ate a bowl of goose fried rice with Flaming Snow Beef, Matsutake Crab Meat and Winter Melon Soup, and Huadiao East China Sea Yellow Croaker. .

"Gong Luo, what do you think?"

"The large yellow croaker is quite delicious. Although it doesn't have too many spices, it has a unique flavor."

After Shan Xing heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Gong Luo, I'm asking you what you think of Starship V3."

With such a big man in front of him, why is their Luo Gong's eyes full of food?

Luo Yao then raised his head, put down the chopsticks in his hands, gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with paper, then glanced at Shan Xing lightly and replied, "Oh, Starship V3."

He paused slightly, as if reviewing the detailed information about Starship V3 in his mind, "It is indeed an amazing achievement. Its carrying capacity is impressive. It is undoubtedly a huge progress for space exploration. .”

Shan Xing became worried: "Gong Luo, do you mean that Starship V3 is more powerful than Bai Di?"

"Of course it is. We can't match it in terms of carrying capacity alone."

"But-"

"The premise is that they can successfully send Starship V3 into space."

"Otherwise it doesn't help that they say their rockets can carry a thousand tons."

"Gong Luo, what you are saying is that there may be a problem with the launch process of Starship V3?" Shan Xing asked tentatively.

"I didn't say it, but it doesn't matter whether they can launch it or not. We are not going to follow them."

Shan Xing frowned and said nothing.

NASA is most likely to have mastered the core technology for sending super large payloads into space. They have to be careful.

Shan Xing couldn't eat for a moment.

"But President Shan, I am more concerned about the relationship between the previously discovered meteorites and blue light than this matter about them."

After Leng Buding was asked, Shan Xing felt a little guilty. He asked, "Gong Luo, do you think that meteorite is related to the blue light on the moon?"

"Not sure, but we also need to pay attention. When the blue light appears, does the meteorite move abnormally?"

"No." Shan Xing said honestly. They actually checked afterward and determined the trajectory of the meteorite.

"Not really." Luo Yao was a little surprised. He had a feeling that blue light was related to meteorites.

"Did you get a linguist to analyze its language?"

"Or make it recognize our language?"

Shan Xing said awkwardly: "There is the former, but the latter..."

Can you imagine?

Hold a piece of paper covered with words in front of a stone and ask the person to identify it.

It's pretty cool.

Outsiders will definitely treat their people as crazy when they see them, and those linguists will not do this because of face issues.

Luo Yao deduced Shan Xing's idea, and he said seriously: "Although this method is a bit outrageous, we cannot completely rule out this possibility. After all, the life forms in the universe may be far beyond our imagination."

"Maybe this stone really contains life, and maybe it has a language system that we haven't understood yet. Just testing its ingredients and trying to figure out its origin is too simple."

"What's more, didn't you understand the message it left behind?"

"I don't understand why you don't innovate and take another path under this situation."

Shan Xing rarely felt embarrassed.

He doesn't understand linguistics, so can you blame them?

Shan Xing thought for a while and could only say: "We asked some linguists to conduct a preliminary analysis of the information left by the meteorite. Indeed, there is no breakthrough discovery yet. As for making it recognize our language, this... we I really haven’t tried it yet.”

"Gong Luo, if you have any ideas, I can mention them to the linguist then."

Luo Yao pondered for a while, and then said: "Perhaps we can try some new methods. For example, we can design some simple patterns or symbols, and then observe whether the stone reacts in any way. This may stimulate its ability to communicate with us. Will.”

Shan Xing's eyes lit up and he felt that Luo Yao's idea was indeed a solution.

Instead of waiting for the meteorite to give them some reaction, they might as well take the initiative.

"Okay, I'll tell the person in charge in a moment to test those meteorites carefully."

"Those meteorites?" Luo Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and realized a problem, "Have you found more meteorites?"

Shan Xing paused in his movements.

He just said two more words, how could he be discovered? !

He completely forgot who was sitting in front of him!

Shan Xing was so regretful that it was no longer possible to withdraw.

After Shan Xing hesitated for several times between making up a lie and telling the truth, he finally faced the upper limit of his IQ and honestly chose to tell the truth.

Under Luo Yao's gaze, Shan Xing told the truth: "Do you remember that we sent a group of experts to Goudahu to investigate the magnetic pole anomaly that occurred there?"

Luo Yao nodded.

"We found a large number of these meteorites there. We have done tests and determined that the composition of those meteorites is the same as the one you encountered. But the difference is that those meteorites have not moved on their own."

Luo Yao's eyes immediately lit up. He seemed to see the truth hidden in the fog gradually surface. He quickly asked: "Are you sure that the composition of these meteorites is exactly the same?"

Shan Xing nodded and affirmed: "Yes, we used the most advanced equipment to conduct detailed analysis, and the ingredients are exactly the same. This is definitely not a coincidence."

Luo Yao pondered for a moment, and then put forward a bold hypothesis: "So, is it possible that the reason why the meteorite I encountered moved is because it was affected by some special influence or activation?"

Shan Xing was shocked by this hypothesis. He had never thought of this possibility. He stared at Luo Yao with wide eyes, trying to find more clues from his face.

"Don't look at me. This is just my guess. You need to communicate with them first for the specific situation."

"That's all. You can go back and take a rest early today. We will have a meeting tomorrow, and we will most likely allocate the next work arrangements."

After Shan Xing finished speaking, he sent Luo Yao back to the dormitory of the institute. After Luo Yao left, he called the people in the meteorite research team and told them about the text test.

"President Shan, are you sure you want to do this? Why do I think this sounds unreliable!"

"The stone has no eyes, so how can it clearly distinguish the words and patterns we gave it?"

The person on the other end of the phone felt that Shan Xing was unusual today.

He actually ordered them to do something that no normal person would do. Is President Shan going crazy?

Using words and patterns to communicate with stones does not look like the work of serious scientific researchers.

The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with obvious doubts and worries, but Shan Xing replied firmly: "I know it sounds a bit whimsical, but we must try every possible method. Meteorites are different from our common stones. It comes from outer space and may have special properties that we cannot understand."

"At least, no one can decipher the words it laid out before, right?"

He paused and moved out of Luo Yao: "And it was Luo Gong who put forward this suggestion. As you know, Luo Gong is a genius. Since he proposed this direction, we should at least give it some attention and try."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to refute.

What's his refutation when even a genius is brought out?

He was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, since President, you said so, let's try it, but I can't guarantee that this method will have any results. If the test fails, we may need to reconsider this direction."

"I understand your concerns, but please remember that scientific exploration itself is a process full of unknowns and risks. We cannot give up trying just because we are worried about failure. If it does not work, we will consider other options."

After Shan Xing finished the call, he did not rest immediately. He picked up his mobile phone and continued to browse the comments on the NASA incident on the Internet.

"I think it's better for us to be humble. Academician Luo's scientific research level is great, but he should also be low-key!"

"This moon landing is too high-profile. Academician Luo even shouted to NASA before that he wanted to pursue the truth. This kind of character can easily make us enemies!"

"So what if he shouted? Now that the opponent's rocket parameters are announced, which one is not better than Bai Di!"

"Look at other people's scientists, and then look at ours, it's really disappointing!"

No one is perfect, and no one can satisfy others 100%, not even a genius like Luo Yao.

Although most people believed in Luo Yao, some people still blamed Luo Yao out of jealousy and the mentality that "the moon is rounder abroad".

Shan Xing thought for a while and called the person in charge of the network supervision.

"Monitor the information on the Internet, and if any remarks that are detrimental to a national hero like Academician Luo are found, they will be dealt with in accordance with Article 35 of the Criminal Law, which is the crime of infringing on the honor of heroes."

He couldn't control what other people thought, but if he couldn't protect Luo Yao, then he was useless.

…

Early the next morning, academicians and technicians who came to attend the meeting were sitting in the auditorium of the space center.

After the frivolous operation of NASA on the first day, this group of people felt a sense of urgency deep in their hearts.

What if what the other person says is true?

"Everyone, I believe you are already aware of NASA's actions. If what they say is true, it means that they have the ability to deliver 150 tons at a time. Now they have even recruited immigration volunteers. Then Does this mean that they will build bases on Mars and the moon next?”

"This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a brand-new strategic trend." Academician Shu stood in front of the podium and looked at everyone worriedly.

There was silence in the venue, and everyone listened to his speech with rapt attention.

"If NASA really wants to establish bases on Mars and the moon, then their purpose is not just to explore space. Should we follow or not?"

Academician Shu's words clearly tell everyone that Ugly people want to bloom on both the moon and Mars. Do they have to adjust their route now and take a dual-pronged path?

However, it is not easy to advance on both fronts and requires strong technical strength and financial support.

The moon is okay, at least they have landed on it and have the confidence to carry out their work.

But it’s hard to say for Mars.

It is more than 55 million kilometers away from the Blue Star, which means that any Mars exploration mission needs to go through a long and complicated flight process. During this process, the detector needs to withstand various threats such as cosmic radiation and micrometeoroids, and there are slight differences. This may cause the task to fail.

Environmentally speaking, compared with the harsh Mars, the moon is more like the mild south and is obviously more suitable for human habitation.

From such a comparison, everyone knows that detecting Mars is too difficult.

"Gong Luo, do you have any opinions?" Academician Shu saw that everyone was silent and called his name.

Luo Yao did not panic when he was called. He stood up calmly and said, "I think you have actually missed the point!"

"What we have to choose now is not whether to follow the Ugly people, but how to open up our own path."

"As a first-tier team of Blue Star Technology, I have to follow others. To be honest, I feel embarrassed."
