A big country of aerospace with black technology

September 26th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a national holiday, and everyone is still working hard.

Even though it was a holiday, everyone in the research institute rarely had time to rest.

But even so, the research institute thoughtfully prepared mooncakes for everyone on this day.

And at night, all laboratories and processing centers ended their work for the day ahead of schedule.

Simply hold a moon appreciation party.

The Mid-Autumn Festival and the full moon in the fifteenth month are the time when everyone homesick.

Looking at the bright and round moon, Zhang Xingyang took a bite of the mooncake.

Well, stuffed with five kernels.

Although compared to fruit mooncakes and hot pot mooncakes with a variety of fillings in the future.

Wuren mooncakes are really not that delicious.

But Zhang Xingyang has not eaten moon cakes for many years, and it still feels relatively novel to eat.

Su Xiao, who was always looking at the moon beside him, did not have such a foodie mind as Zhang Xingyang.

Just when Zhang Xingyang was about to have another piece of almond mooncake to taste.

Su Xiao looked at the moon: "Brother Xingyang, when do you think we will be able to go to the moon?!"

Although since ancient times, there have been legends about the moon such as Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting down trees, and the jade rabbit pounding medicine on this ancient land.

But it will take decades before Chinese people actually set foot on the moon for the first time.

Even if it has its own bonus, it is estimated that it will take ten years at the fastest.

"About 2010."

After taking a bite of the almond mooncake, Zhang Xingyang felt that the taste was okay, so he answered Su Xiao's question casually.

Although Zhang Xingyang himself felt that the answer was quite serious, but to Su Xiao's ears, he just felt that the other party was joking.

Yes, manned spaceflight has not even started in China at this time.

How could it be possible to land on the moon in just a dozen years?

Although everyone in the research institute is working hard, everyone lives in the material world after all, and things cannot be accomplished by will alone.

In more than ten years, if a lunar probe can land on the moon, Su Xiao will be very satisfied.

"In 10 years, I will be satisfied if our detector can go up."

"Also, when I think about the fact that Yingjiang was there more than 20 years ago, I feel that we are really inferior to others now, and we are too far behind."

Su Xiao frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and his whole face was twisted into a ball.

In 1969, the Saturn 5 Super Heavy rocket carried the Apollo 11 spacecraft into space.

Subsequently, Apollo 11 crossed the distance of 380,000 kilometers between the earth and the moon, and sent three astronauts to the moon.

Although Eagle Sauce spent more than 20 billion U.S. dollars for this, more than 0.57% of Eagle Sauce’s annual GDP at that time.

It can be called a modern technological wonder.

But it also brought a lot of benefits, not to mention those scientific discoveries in lunar geology, just greatly inspired the hearts of the people in Yingjiang, it was worth the huge expenditure.

It also made Eagle Sauce move back in the space race with Mao Xiong.

However, in the 1990s, Mao Xiong had split, and Da Mao could still get along for decades relying on the old foundation left before, but it was a pity that the Blizzard gradually rusted in the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Eagle Sauce no longer needs to compete with others, so it gradually reduces its investment in space exploration.

At this time, the reason why China can grab a lot of orders in the international commercial rocket launch mission.

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Su Xiao who was still staring at the quiet part of the moon. She seemed to want to see the traces of Apollo's first landing on the moon.

When Apollo landed on the moon, in order not to waste the capacity of the return module, the lander remained at the landing site.

"Don't watch it, you will get tired of watching too much in the future, it is not as good as the earth."

Zhang Xingyang swallowed the last piece of almond mooncake and said nonchalantly.

In his previous life, Zhang Xingyang lived in the space base city on the moon for a long time.

For the bare and dusty scenery on the moon, if there is no construction, even a little bit of dust will not change, I am already very tired of it.

Only the human beings who are still in the era of star charts are very yearning for life on the moon.

As everyone knows, what humans in the space age like most is the rest time when they return to the earth.

In the space age, the earth mainly existed as a tertiary industry area, which was used for the cultivation of human beings who worked and lived in space for a long time.

"What do you say is on the back of the moon?"

As an aerospace worker, Su Xiao has an extremely strong curiosity.

At this time, the back of the moon is still relatively mysterious.

Due to tidal locking, only one side of the Moon is normally visible from Earth.

So it cannot be seen from the back, which naturally arouses everyone's endless reverie.

Especially now, no lunar probes have really landed on the back of the moon. This situation will not change until Chang'e-4, which was launched in 2018, lands on the back of the moon.

Of course, people at this time still have a lot of weird ideas about the back of the moon.

For example, there is an alien base on the back of the moon, and they have been secretly monitoring humans on the earth.

Or, there are actually Gundams on the far side of the moon.

Of course, as a veteran lunar man who has actually lived on the moon for more than ten years, he has visited almost every corner of the moon.

Zhang Xingyang can say responsibly that there is nothing on the back of the moon except that there are many more meteorite impact craters than on the front.

"In addition to the impact craters like the honeycomb, there is only a steady stream of meteorites."

After taking a sip of Bingfeng soda, Zhang Xingyang burped and said.

"They all say there are aliens on the back of the moon?"

"It is said that after 72 years, Yingjiang and the others stopped going to the moon because they were afraid of aliens."

Su Xiao opened his eyes wide and asked curiously.

In fact, it is no wonder that Su Xiao would ask such a question. Although she also works in the aerospace system, she is mainly responsible for the research of materials.

It is not as good as some aerospace majors or astronomy majors, and even not as good as some high-level civil aerospace or astronomy enthusiasts in these aspects.

"There's nothing so mysterious."

Zhang Xingyang half leaned on the chair, enjoying the moon comfortably. The moon is quite beautiful when viewed from the earth.

"They will no longer carry out the moon landing plan, purely because they don't want to continue to burn money, burning 0.57% of GDP in eleven years."

"Even if Yingjiang is rich and powerful, he can't afford it."

"And at that time, their moon landing plan did not have any actual output, except for some poor scientific research value, which was almost a pure waste of money."

After Su Xiao finished listening, he didn't continue to say anything, but looked at the bright and round moon and sighed.

"I really want to go to the moon and see it!"

"Try to live. It is estimated that if you live for a few more decades, travel between the earth and the moon will become more normal."

Zhang Xingyang also looked at the moon and replied.
