【Chapter 536: Launch】
...
"I have seen the faces of those Russians clearly. I think they are crazy about poverty!" After returning from Moscow to the headquarters of Matrix Technology, Liu Yuliang found Ren Hong and kept complaining, cursing the old man Thorentsev in front of Ren Hong. The freight of 2.9 billion US dollars was exchanged for about 20 billion yuan. Thinking about it, my heart was bleeding.
At this moment, at the moonlit night local time, the two were heading towards the dome of the "X"-shaped building. A helicopter had been waiting for a long time and would take the two to the Wenchang satellite launch site from time to time. In a few hours, the launch will begin.
Ren Hong listened to Liu Yuliang's constant criticism of the Russians, smiled slightly, and said, "This 'polar bear' was indeed forced to be crazy by Westerners. He also knew that there was probably only one chance like this. Our space technology is developing so fast, and the carrying capacity is increasing at ten tons every year. In a few years, we will no longer need to seek help from the outside world. We can get as much as we can. If it were the case, I would have spoken so much, and there would be only one chance."
"Hehe!" Liu Yuliang suddenly smiled playfully and said, "This nearly 20 billion yuan (RMB) is not that easy to make. The agreement contract is there. If the Russians give me a "firework" and blow up my core cabin, they will have to wear underwear to spend the winter."
The elevator door on the dome of the building slowly opened, and the two of them walked leisurely towards the helicopter. Ren Hong smiled and looked at Liu Yuliang, saying, "Ha! The Russians' skills are quite reliable and have a lot of experience."
Liu Yuliang nodded without comment and said, "After that being said, there is an American next door staring at him. The Americans are famously insidious and like to make trouble in secret, for fear that the Russians will be careless. If the Americans secretly stole a polar bear and gave us all a century-level fireworks event worth tens of billions of dollars, it would be fun!"
Ren Hong nodded slightly and said, "It is possible, after all, if the Russians really blow up my core cabin, the construction of the new core cabin will take at least 2 months. The "Gemini Plan" will definitely be postponed for at least 5 months. Americans can take a big step ahead of us. No matter how you look at it, it is worth taking a risk."
He smiled again and said, "But, I think the Russians are more concerned about this matter than us. Their ruble cannot afford to pay for this loss, so they are only allowed to succeed and not fail."
"It makes sense!" Liu Yuliang said with a smile.
The two arrived at the helicopter, boarded the plane one after another, and then headed straight to the Wenchang launch center.
On the helicopter, Ren Hong thought for a while and asked, "Where is the core cabin?"
Liu Yuliang checked the information, was silent for a moment and replied: "I have arrived in the north of the East China Sea, and I will arrive at the port of Frozen. The Russians are ready. The core compartment will be transported from the East-West Siberia Railway to the launch site and launch at the launch site in northern Moscow at the established time."
"By the way, this American is lucky enough. He actually encountered the golden geographical distribution of the three major stars that were rare in a century. Not only can he overtake the inner ring orbit curve, but he can also use the gravity of Venus for free, and win several months of precious time. Good things that can kill multiple kills, tsk tsk tsk! It seems that the Americans are also very smooth." Liu Yuliang said in a chat.
Ren Hong didn't care and said, "Half the volume of the 'Noah' carries the fuel and supplies needed for round trips. We only need a slightly larger purple stone to handle it. The space occupied is just the size of a computer desk, but it can store high energy. Americans have to wait for Mars to get closer to the launch mission due to the fuel and load limit. We can do it anytime. The difference is the increase in range time brought by the distance and the additional energy of tens of trillions of joules. We spend so much energy and investment just for the large purple stone on the surface of Mars?"
"Haha! Yes!"
When the helicopter was rushing to the command center of Wenchang Rocket Launch Base, Ren Hong in the plane looked down from the window. Although it was already late at night, a large number of people gathered in the outer area of the launch site. No matter what, those who could come here late at night were patriots, and they wanted to see the true style of showing the strength of a great power.
Rockets are truly powerful weapons.
There are also some media reporters who want to obtain first-hand information on the spot.
This time, the two major super players in the world competed for space, which is not like the last century when the US-Soviet space battle. Speaking of this, we have to mention how the "righteous" Soviets were "striking" by Americans. At that time, the US President Li Gen announced during the Cold War that he would spend $1 trillion to formulate the "Star Wars" plan, and also released a 3D animation demonstration video that was extremely rare and very advanced at that time.
After seeing this, the Soviets still spent more than 600 billion US dollars to use rocket technology in order to seek the so-called "terror balance" under the burden of the national economy at that time.
The Soviets were indeed fooled. The so-called "Star Wars" plan of the Americans was just a big fool for Li Gen. Apart from spending some money to create a rare 3D animation, the so-called huge spending of one trillion dollars didn't even make a fart. However, the Soviets had already jumped in and were eventually cheated to death. The insidious Americans finally succeeded in their conspiracy, won the victory of the Cold War and established his dominance.
It is precisely because the former Soviet Union was crazy about rocket technology. As the "first son" of the Soviet Union, the solid foundation laid by the former Soviet Union has today's Russia with the most powerful rocket in the world - "Angara A5G".
However, this time, between CNSA and NASA, or between CMSX and SpaceX, is not a big fool or a big deal of infernal Affairs, but a real thing. Both governments and companies of both sides have placed heavy bets in the field of space exploration.
According to the analysis of the US "think tank", the field of space exploration is an important node that may be enough to break the existing pattern of the world in the new century and its established balance.
The reason why the world today is peaceful and stable is that everyone can buy a bag of "melon seeds" to fight verbal wars on the Internet without war. The real competition between major powers is to fight economically. The fundamental reason is that they have nuclear weapons that are enough to destroy the world. Although today, the "nuclear haze incident" since the new century has forced several major nuclear countries around the world to promote the leapfrog progress of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, allowing nuclear weapons with devastating power to be fully stored, nuclear weapons have not been destroyed after all, and the original nuclear countries still control nuclear power.
