The technological empire begins with polymer materials - Chapter 294 Poseidon! Celtic number! Andes!

“Today’s program ends here. I am Gao Yuan. See you next time.”

As usual, after Gao Yuan said his eternal concluding remarks, he left the camera and went off stage to find Cao Feiyu and Chu Luoluo.

Cao Feiyu shook his head slightly and said: “The number of people has dropped so fast. It seems that the audience is not interested in staying in the live broadcast room and discussing the issues of Blue Sea City with barrage. Everyone wants to watch the live launch in North America.”

Gao Yuan said noncommittally: “Let alone the audience, I want to know whether such a behemoth can successfully launch into space. If North America succeeds this time, the development of Mars, let alone the moon, will be just around the corner.”

“After all, it is a one-thousand-ton low-Earth orbit delivery and a four-hundred-ton moon delivery capability. Calculated based on the lunar base’s weight of five thousand tons, it only takes twelve point five launches to lift the base from above. After that, every Delivering supplies once a quarter is enough to maintain the long-term operation of the space station.”

Cao Feiyu frowned, “Strong space delivery capability is the basic technology for developing planets. I just wonder if the first stage of this super rocket can be recycled like the Falcon to reduce launch costs?”

Chu Luoluo said: “It should be a recyclable design, right? Musk’s company became famous because of its rocket first-stage recycling technology.”

“By the way, boss, I suddenly thought of a question. If North America uses this big guy to launch communication satellites, wouldn’t the density and efficiency of the Starlink network increase crazily? When Starlink cuts prices again, I’m afraid it will really threaten the current situation. There is terrestrial internet.”

Gao Yuan scratched his head, “It is indeed an important question. Han Chang also talked to me two days ago, saying that the military is worried about North America throwing heavy space-based weapons into orbit, and wants to know whether Kunlun Zenith is absolutely sure to fight against missiles from space. attack.”

“Is there such a thing? Then boss, how did you answer?” Chu Luoluo stuck out her tongue. Sure enough, she still thought too simply. Compared with space-based weapons, star chain is not a threat at all.

Gao Yuan said: “I asked Han Chang to tell all the bosses that in this world, you can only commit thieves for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Passive defense is not advisable. When that day comes, our only choice is to destroy the Kunlun Sky.” Throw the top up and fight with them.”

…

North America, Florida, Cape Canaveral.

Musk looked nervous and looked at the huge screen at the launch center, with a countdown going on.

Nineteen eighty-seven, four three two one!

Boom~

Violent fireworks spurted out from the tail of the rocket, as if the entire earth was burning. Even if you were standing on a hill dozens of kilometers away from the launch site, you could still feel the earth trembling slightly.

After all, a behemoth of 13,500 tons was sent into space. This weight is more than three times heavier than the heaviest Saturn V rocket in human history.

Gradually, the super rocket detached from the launch pad and flew faster and faster into no man’s sky.

Millions of residents living on the west coast of Florida can clearly see the dazzling fire and hear the breathtaking roar as long as they look up.

“All data are normal, start the rocket first-stage separation operation immediately!”

“Successful separation!”

“The second-stage rocket ignited successfully!”

“The first-stage rocket has fallen back and is adjusting its posture!”

“Three thousand five hundred meters above the ground! The deceleration engine ignited successfully!”

“The landing speed continues to decrease and the attitude remains stable!”

In the Cape Canaveral command center, the movements and progress of the super rocket after it took off were constantly being broadcast.

The recyclable first-stage rocket separates at a distance of 90 kilometers from the ground. Then the second-stage rocket is started. It will be responsible for passing through the thermosphere and exosphere until it is 1,200 kilometers away from the ground. After actually entering space, the second-stage rocket and the third-stage rocket are -level rocket will conduct a second separation operation.

In the live broadcast, the huge first-stage rocket finally released all its reaction force when it was less than a kilometer away from the ground, reducing the speed of the rocket to a safe landing range. At the same time, it used a small vector nozzle to adjust the attitude and angle of the rocket.

Finally, with a huge vibration, the rocket landed steadily on the ground in a coquettish manner.

Success!

The news spread all over the world in an instant. All the cars on the road honked their horns, and people in the launch center were hugging and cheering.

…

Western China, the city in the sky.

“They actually succeeded.”

Gao Yuan muttered, he silently put down the briefing sent by Liang Shaojie and fell into deep thought.

It is impossible for the private sector to have all the detailed data on the North American super rocket, but the military used various means to monitor the entire launch process, record all the data that could be recorded, and then handed it over to professionals for analysis.

Judging from the analysis results, this super rocket, codenamed Poseidon, has achieved unprecedented success and will undoubtedly leave a mark in the history of human spaceflight. Its historical significance cannot be said to surpass the Apollo 11 moon landing. , at least on the same level.

As previously expected, the Poseidon super rocket has a kiloton-level earth orbit delivery capability.

Today, the third stage of the rocket has been operating in Earth orbit for more than 24 hours, and North America has also officially announced that it will use the third stage of the Poseidon as the main body of the Western Space Station in the future to build the first super large space station in human history. Permanent space station, Celtic.

Gao Yuan looked at the high-definition photos taken by military satellites in space. The huge cylindrical flying object faced the distant sunlight, and the light filled the gray-white alloy shell, making it slightly dazzling.

“The whole world is going crazy about this shocking news.” Liang Shaojie leaned back on the sofa and said, “Especially the Western media and netizens, who have been suppressed by us before, have finally gained a huge advantage in space technology, so it is very exciting Rejoice.”

“The Starlink project, the Celtics, and the Andes, I have to say that they have done really well recently. Musk is indeed a smart man. He did not fight in the fields we are good at, but went to space to open up the second world. Arena.”

Gao Yuan frowned and asked, “What is the Andes?”

Liang Shaojie said: “Oh, it’s their lunar base. According to the intelligence we have, Musk is planning to build a permanent base on the moon. The name of this base is Andes.”

“At present, the Poseidon rocket is only launched for the first time. They are still improving the design of the rocket. It will not be long before the Poseidon super rocket can perform frequent missions to the earth orbit, the moon, and even to Mars and Europa. , doing large-scale delivery.”

“The specific launch frequency depends on how many Poseidon rocket first stages North America is prepared to manufacture. According to our estimates, the cost of the Poseidon rocket first stage will not be less than three billion US dollars, but since the rocket is recyclable, it will be slightly It can be reused after repair, so the final average cost per launch should be about $600 million.”

“It only costs 600 million U.S. dollars to send a thousand tons of payload to the earth’s orbit, which is equivalent to only 600,000 U.S. dollars per ton and 600 U.S. dollars per kilogram. Such a low cost is really enviable.”

This is yesterday’s chapter. I drank too much during the Lantern Festival, so I didn’t write it that night. I got up and wrote it this morning.

In addition, as of yesterday, I have been strictly following the one-meal-a-day plan for a week. I only eat dinner every day, and replace breakfast and lunch with black coffee and Coke Zero, without consuming any energy.

The execution difficulty ranks second among all the fat loss methods I have tried. The most difficult one is Atkinson, which means not taking in any carbohydrates, only one protein and a small amount of fat for body function.

In seven days, I lost 0.8 kilograms of weight. Apart from spending a lot of time fighting hunger every day and being mentally anxious, there don’t seem to be many negative effects. However, considering that the implementation time is still short, the long-term effects are still unknown.

In fact, I don’t only eat one meal a day to lose weight. Among all my peers, I have the best figure.

I hope to be healthy, eat only one meal a day, strengthen autophagy, and be healthier. At the same time, I can save a lot of time eating, which can be used for other things, and I don’t have to think about what to eat. It’s perfect.

I will drink with my family these two days, take a break, I will stick to it for a long time in the future, and let all readers know my experience.

Above, by the way, please give me a monthly pass!

Now there are more monthly tickets and you can draw a lottery. Some big guys have already drawn 10,000 yuan in cash, but I only drew 100 yuan.
