Chapter 463 The Space Race

North America, Space Center Houston.

This is a NASA branch that was upgraded based on the original facilities in order to compete with the Toboku moon landing plan.

It has the world's most advanced aerospace technology, the world's top astronauts, the world's second largest spacecraft launch site, and is truly the world's second largest space center.

But the proud North American Empire obviously didn't want to be the second child. With the promotion of the White House, the first phase of the project passed the acceptance, and immediately followed up the construction of the second, third, fourth, and fifth phases.

And the slogan was very loud: Let North America be great forever!

Therefore, the Houston Space Center has received a large amount of financial funding and the support of countless North American private capital.

It's just that no one knows that the reason why the White House supports the construction of the Houston Space Center is because Xiao Bu is about to leave the White House and return to Texas.

Or, Houston is the Houston of Texas, NASA is the NASA of North America, and we will be the boss of Texas from now on. Before leaving the White House, why should we move NASA of North America from Washington, D.C., to Houston? , making it the NASA of Texas.

Against the background of such intrigues, it took NASA headquarters a year and a half to finally catch up with Debei's moon landing and launch the manned spaceflight project.

The first stage of the project is to use a carrier rocket with a height of about 96 meters, a weight of 3600 tons, and a take-off thrust of nearly 5000 tons to send 120 tons of materials into low-earth orbit.

Then the docking began to be built in 93, and there is still an unfinished 'International Space Station'.

The next step is to imitate Germany and create a space platform belonging to North America.

Three years ago, if humans wanted to lay a platform and build houses in outer space, it would be simply a fantasy.

However, with the help of the large particle collider, Ironhide obtained a series of new materials and broke countless conventional cognitions.

Such as graphite X sponge.

Its function seems to be only adsorption and storage.

But if we use it to make a house, and then compress the house to one percent, or even one thousandth of the size, can we easily take the house into outer space?

When we wait until outer space, we release the graphite Has architectural properties?
Then we installed pressure relief doors, oxygen devices, and even implanted ecosystems...

A space building just appeared.

After NASA discovered this, the person in charge shouted to create a 'space capsule', ordered everyone to keep it secret, and secretly purchased a large number of graphite X sponges with the help of General Electric.

As a new material at the forefront of the world, graphite X sponge must be expensive, with a price of 100 million US dollars per cubic meter.

But in the aerospace field, no matter how expensive it is, NASA has to buy it, otherwise how to catch up with Germany.

In addition to the graphite X sponge, NASA also secretly purchased an isolated oxygen generator from Leizer Medical Devices.

Because this thing is more reliable than the aerospace oxygen supply machine produced by North America itself.

And purchased a life support device for high-risk groups that is more reliable than the North American astronaut life monitoring system,

3C communicator, which is more reliable than North American aerospace communication equipment,

A special bracelet for weightlessness, motion sickness and morning sickness that is more reliable than various drugs in North America...

So, everything is ready.

The North American Aerospace Manned Project was officially launched.

On the morning of May 5nd, the fuel filling was completed and the self-inspection process started.

Although the purchased spacecraft was a launch vehicle, not a space shuttle, the contractor was more than capable, and changed the launcher of the space shuttle into a launcher that matches the launch vehicle.

Therefore, Daze Construction Engineering won the second, third, fourth, fifth and other projects.

Therefore, there is no problem with manned spaceflight engineering.

At noon on May 5, the astronauts boarded the vehicle.

The general process is that seven astronauts enter the space capsule, close the hatch, then check the equipment, confirm with ground staff that all systems are working properly, and then test the entire flight system using handwheels, buttons and other controls.

For three hours, there was no problem either.

On the evening of May 5, it entered the ignition process.

The general manager of NASA put a button with no cable or wireless signal in front of Xiaobu.

Xiao Bu listened to the countdown solemnly, and then pressed the ignition switch with a holy face.

After a one-second delay, NASA straightened the microphone and "ignited!"

woohoo hoo...

The V-series rockets held the Long March-type second- and third-stage rocket bodies, and jumped into the sky smoothly and smoothly.

Then speed up, speed up, speed up...

The staff at the Houston Space Center never thought that launching a rocket would be so simple, let alone that the success rate would be so great.

When the launch vehicle reached the first speed in the universe and successfully separated the exhausted fuel tank, the staff applauded and cheered.

"Oh my god, look at this arc, it's so smooth!"

“Not only is it silky smooth, it’s also incredibly stable. I didn’t even see its shell shake violently!”

Suddenly, the pilot in the space capsule also shouted excitedly, "Yes, babies, I came to outer space without enjoying the feeling of pushing my back!"

The person in charge of NASA was confused when he heard this.

He did ask Raymond to purchase a new type of anti-G suit from Ironhide, which is said to be able to alleviate the overload of 2 to 3 Gs.

For example, the overload of a launch vehicle is generally 3 to 5 Gs. Wearing the new anti-G suit of Iron Sheet Company, astronauts can feel 1 to 2 Gs at most.

But the overload of 1 to 2 G is equivalent to about 2 seconds to accelerate from [-] kilometers. How could there be no feeling of pushing back?
The person in charge of NASA checked all the instruments of the space capsule and found that they were normal and exactly the same as the values ​​returned by the launch vehicle.

Then check out the high-risk group life support system worn by astronauts.

The values ​​are also normal, just like on the surface.

The person in charge of NASA was slightly startled when he thought of this. He quickly picked up the newly launched tablet computer, connected it to a reliable 3C network, and located the space capsule.

Then it was discovered that the No. 1 space capsule, which was supposed to follow the No. 1 launch vehicle and fly into outer space, was quietly staying in the underground warehouse.

The backup space capsule follows the No. 1 launch vehicle and flies into outer space.

As for why the astronauts and staff didn't find out...

"This damn data sync!"

3C Network has a very awesome function, that is, after you register a Hongqi account, no matter which computer you log in with the account, 3C Network can synchronize your computer data to the current computer, and you can choose to log out and delete the account data, or log out of the account to retain the data.

Then, you use your account to log in to the home computer and the work computer separately. If you create a document at work, you don’t need to do anything. When you go home and turn on your home computer, you can view the content of the document.

Of course, you can also choose not to sync.

NASA sets up spare space capsules mainly to avoid accidents in such a large project. In the event of instrument failure, astronauts can enter the spare space capsule and mount it again.

Now the spare space capsule is lifted off, and the data is synchronized to No. 1 space capsule...

Things are reversed, but normal on the surface.

The only abnormal thing is that the astronauts have no feeling of pushing back.

The person in charge of NASA wanted to cover it up, give the astronauts a sense of push, and pretend to be astronauts before going up, but the news media who came to watch were not only American, but also German.

soon.

The aerospace consultants that Germany arranged among the reporters discovered the problem from the data released by North America.

Immediately afterwards, the World United Space Administration of City X pointed out that North America seemed to have forgotten to carry a space capsule...

Just when the head of NASA was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do, the launch vehicle that successfully entered low orbit suddenly deviated from its orbit with the help of its own remaining fuel.

30 seconds later, before the NASA staff could adjust their attitude, the Debei space platform happened to pass by.The launch vehicle accelerated and crashed into it...

The person in charge of NASA was stunned: "Oh, My god, no, no, no, no, no!"

Just when everyone thought that Debei's space platform was about to become a space elevator and faced serious damage.

The aircraft docking system of the space platform is passively turned on, automatically recognizes the incoming launch vehicle, and issues a deceleration command.

After three seconds, the launch vehicle did not respond, and the docking system of the aircraft automatically classified the launch vehicle as a 'runaway aircraft'.

Immediately afterwards, the space platform spacecraft adjusted its orbit and attitude, and raised a mechanical claw with a length of [-] meters.

The speed of North American launch vehicles is similar to that of space platforms, all at the first cosmic speed.

Therefore, the two sides are relatively static.

Based on this speed, the launch vehicle consumes the remaining fuel and accelerates. This speed is definitely far inferior to the first cosmic speed.

Therefore, when people on the surface see the speed of the launch vehicle, they think that the launch vehicle is flying very fast.

But in the eyes of the two hounds on the space platform, the flying launch vehicle was just like the Debei launch vehicle that came to the rescue before.

Thanks to the last operation, the two dogs activated the spacecraft docking system of the space platform very skillfully.

Ten seconds later.

The North American launch vehicle, which was supposed to hit the space platform, parked at Pier 2 of the space platform smoothly like a regular customer coming to the door.

After the two dogs finished their work, they contacted the astronaut who came to the rescue last time but fell seriously ill due to weightlessness.

The latter used the X-series graphics card, that is, "numerous elementary school students to do multiple-choice questions", to try out the codes of the North American space capsule one by one.

In less than three seconds, "a certain elementary school student found the correct answer", that is, he found the correct password from many series.

Two sick astronauts, either on crutches or with bandages around their necks, led two bony hounds into the North American material warehouse.

"Thank you North America!"

“Praise for North America!”

“German-American friendly!”

.........

white house.

Xiaobu sat at the head of the conference room, looking around the audience with a dark face, "I want to know what happened!"

NASA's North American national aerospace director said tangledly: "I don't seem to wake up."

"But you've humiliated us!"

"Mr. Steward, I really don't know what happened."

At this time, the head of NSA's North American national security hesitated and said: "Mr. Director, in fact, as early as three days ago, we wiretapped someone planning to destroy the space platform, but this has nothing to do with us, so we didn't pay attention to it."

"Is it too late to pay attention now?"

"That's too late."

Just when Xiaobu was about to get angry, the person in charge of Forbol, who was jointly investigating the attack on the space elevator with the president of Boeing, said:

"Mr. Steward, it is obvious that this is a conspiracy."

"Don't talk about conspiracy."

"Mr. Manager, you should know that the four major grain merchants have discussed with Xu Fei that Xu Fei plans to use space breeding and space planting to become the fifth largest grain merchant in the world."

Xiaobu must know about this, and when he returns to Texas, North America's granary - Texas, will also merge with the North American Farm, in exchange for the Carlyle Consortium in exchange for 20% of the world's fifth largest grain merchant .

The person in charge of Fobole continued: "There is an oriental proverb that tells dogs to jump over the wall if they are in a hurry, and rabbits to bite people in a hurry. The ability to swap capsules and pay off the NASA crew so no one would know the pilot wasn't in the launch vehicle."

"You mean, the four major grain merchants manipulated the launch vehicle to hit the space platform?"

"Yes, Mr. Steward."

"It doesn't make sense. They can sacrifice 7 astronauts and let them crash into the space platform together."

The person in charge of Fobol shook his head, "No, the remote control system of this launch vehicle uses the T chip developed by TEP Group.

Its structure and principle are almost the same as those of the X series graphics cards, which is why James sued Xu Fei for stealing United Defense military technology.

As we all know, the security level of the X-series graphics card is particularly high, and it is claimed to be comparable to a quantum computer because of its simple structure and simple computing modules, but the number of modules is super large.

For example, an ordinary graphics card, which is equivalent to a four-digit password, contains various symbols and looks very safe, but in fact it is very simple to unlock.

The X-series graphics card has no special symbols, only numbers. It seems very simple, but you have to enter tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of numbers, to unlock it.

So, if someone, with the help of an insider, enters tens of millions of passwords in advance and gets control of the launch vehicle, at this time, the seven astronauts can take back control instantly with the help of the administrator status of the T chip.

But if the astronauts leave the launch vehicle, as if the magnetic card is not inserted into the card slot, the astronauts will automatically lose their administrator status, but we can’t crack the password authority...It means they have complete control of the launch vehicle.

Therefore, as long as we find the insider, we can basically know who did it. "

The person in charge of NASA nodded thoughtfully after listening to the analysis of the person in charge of Fobole.

In launch vehicle or space shuttle projects, generally not too many keys are kept, because human nature is complicated, and the fewer people who know it, the better.

Just like the manned spaceflight project, there are basically three people, and one or two people will not be sent.

Because the triangle is the most stable structure.

The control rights of the launch vehicle and the password intelligent input device are also held by three people.

Including the head of NASA, Xiaobu, and seven astronauts.

At present, it can be determined that the person in charge of NASA is not an inside ghost, and the seven astronauts cannot become inside ghosts.

So, the person who leaked the launch vehicle control key...

The person in charge of NASA looked at Xiao Bu, "Mr. Manager, who do you think it will be?"

"Is it really the work of the four major grain merchants?"

The person in charge of NASA said seriously, "Maybe it's really them."

The person in charge of Fobole smiled slightly, "It must be them."

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the ADM controller who had returned from the east walked in with a dark face.

Behind him stood an old man with a black jazz hat and a black tuxedo, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

When Xiao Bu saw this person, he got up and saluted, "Mr. Evelyn."

Evelyn Rothschild, the fifth head of the Rothschild family, is currently 71 years old, much younger than Morgan and the oil magnate.

The four major grain merchants invited each other out, obviously they really came to a dead end.

Evelyn sat down at a random place, put the walking stick on the table, and was just about to speak, but heard the electronic sound of Xiaobu's watch.

"The first wave of attacks, three calves are expected, and the countdown is 10, 9, 8..."

When Evelin heard this, she didn't even want the crutch, turned around and ran away.

Xiao Bu said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I took a shower yesterday and the watch got wet, so it's not very accurate."

Evelyn: "..."
