Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Across the ocean, NASA.

“It seems they really want to land a man on Mars,” engineer Bob Balaram said.

"Hmph, these guys are just delusional. They actually want to send thousands of people up there. This project has no chance of success!" Sean O'Keefe's face was full of disdain.

He never believed it.

“Director, I think that since they’ve already started, NASA can’t fall behind. We can’t let them steal our thunder,” Balalam continued.

"What can they possibly steal the spotlight from? It's just a PowerPoint presentation."

"No, no, Director, you don't understand the storm this project will create among the public. Take my personal experience as an example. Back then, it was seeing the Apollo program that made me decide to dedicate myself to the space industry. Now that Starship Corporation is saying they're going to land on Mars, those young people will be inspired. When they grow up..."

Sean O'Keefe looked at Bob Balaram.

This assistant is an Indian. He graduated from Lik Kung College in 1980 and then studied Computer and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States until he obtained his doctorate. After that, he joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and later served as the principal investigator in the Beyond Monte Carlo Space Systems Statistical Validation Project.

With some NASA staff leaving, Balalam was promoted again and was finally able to attend NASA's highest-level meetings.

"so what?"

"Therefore, we also need a corresponding Mars landing project. We need to attract global attention, after all, NASA is the No. 1 in the global aerospace industry," Balaram said. "Moreover, this will allow us to apply for more funding. Although we won't be able to get the same level of support as during the Apollo moon landing era, it's still better than now, where we've been marginalized!"

Back then, NASA was the most important department in the country, with the most funding. And now? With the end of the Cold War, space has been forgotten!

"Okay, so, do you have any specific suggestions?"

"I found that Starship's plan only focuses on how to fly to Mars. For NASA, flying to Mars is nothing special, after all, we have already sent countless probes there. What we need to do is to set up a base on Mars, and we have to create Mars rovers, Mars spacecraft, and so on. I think that developing a Mars helicopter would be very eye-catching."

Balaram's main job is computer simulation, after all, he has a PhD in computer science. However, in recent years, his research projects have become more and more extensive, and the Mars project has become his stage for development.

No one had ever thought of using helicopters on Mars before, but he had. Once this project was announced, it would definitely attract a lot of attention!

"Tell me more specifically?"

"Mars also has an atmosphere, although its density is only one percent of Earth's. However, as long as there is an atmosphere, it should be possible to use rotors. We just need to design the rotors to be very large. But once this problem is solved, after landing on Mars, we will be able to fly and travel across the entire Martian surface, much faster than on Earth..."

Mars has a very small mass, so it can only hold very little gas, which is why the surface temperature of Mars varies greatly. Because the atmosphere is thin, its heat retention effect on the ground is very limited. Moreover, the air resistance is small, so if a dust storm blows on Mars, it can easily spread to the entire planet.

Using helicopters on Mars is something only people of Indian descent could come up with, and yet Sean O'Keefe, an amateur, actually believed it.

"Okay, then you organize a team to conduct the research."

"Yes! I hope to recruit some outstanding personnel. After all, NASA has lost a number of people, and our research strength is insufficient."

What kind of person do you want?

“Farook, Clark, Singh…” He rattled off more than thirty names, all of them Indians!

In the United States, Indians are a very united group. Once an Indian comes to power, he will keep changing his assistants until all his subordinates are Indians!

If an Indian becomes the CEO of a company, the company will be under Indian control within three years.

In contrast, people from the East are not so united.

"Alright, recruit them all. Three days later, we will officially announce our Mars plan. Balalam, you will be the chief researcher for the technical project of our Mars base."

"Yes!"

East, capital, airplane terminal.

"President Qin, you've been gone for far too long this time!"

Qin Chuan looked at the person who spoke: "Leader Zhang, it's all because of your requests. You made me get involved in the aerospace industry, so I had no choice but to start a new company."

"Yes, no matter what the project is, as long as it's handed over to President Qin, he will do his best." Leader Wang said from the side, "There's a global craze for landing on Mars, even NASA couldn't sit still and launched a Mars base project, which actually involves using helicopters on Mars!"

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment: "What, a Mars helicopter? Could it be that the Indians came up with this idea?"

"Let me see, it seems to be true! It was this guy named Bob Balaram who did it."

Qin Chuan was relieved.

In later years, this guy tinkered with a coaxial counter-rotating drone. It wasn't very big, but it cost tens of millions. Moreover, just by looking at the diameter of the rotor and the size of the payload underneath, you could tell that this thing definitely couldn't fly on Mars!

Indians are completely incompetent; all they can do is create PowerPoint presentations. As the truly skilled people at NASA leave, Indians will take over NASA. At that time…

"President Qin, aren't you worried?"

"Once one Indian comes to power, countless Indians will follow, and they will eventually take over the entire NASA," Qin Chuan said. "Their PowerPoint presentations are very impressive, but they have no real skills. With their actions, NASA will become a complete joke."

The funniest thing in later generations was that what was originally planned to be a few days in space turned into a long-term stay because the spaceship they were on had countless defects and could not take them back at all. In the end, the investigation found that the problem was caused by the Indians.

Now, as Indians continue to dominate major American companies, the decline of those companies has officially begun!

With Indians ostracizing them, more talented engineers will be forced to leave, and these people will naturally have to join Starship Corporation!

I should thank the Indians.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Mr. Qin, the situation in Iraq has officially entered the ground war phase!"
