Five Hundred and Sixteenth Direction
The major general said again: "I believe some comrades have already guessed that you are the first batch of candidates to implement this plan. Why is your training so much simpler? On the one hand, the cost of comprehensive training is too high; on the other hand, time does not allow; Another aspect is that the construction of a lunar base requires a lot of human resources. 』E Xiao┡ said Ww┡W.』1XIAOSHUO.COM”
"The previous astronaut training strategy was elite training, which took a long time and cost a lot. Is it appropriate to let a large number of astronauts go to the moon to dig holes and dig soil? Of course, if comprehensive and systematic training is carried out, at least some of you You can become a real astronaut, but time waits for no one. The country... No, the earth and mankind need you to be in place as soon as possible, so the training time can only be shortened. To put it bluntly, you will be the pioneers and heroes of mankind going to space. "
The lights came on, and the major general slowly stood up: "Space is not a pure land, and there are many crises in spaceflight. In the future, there will be honors as well as difficulties and sacrifices. I don't want to say any bold words, but comrades——" His voice suddenly became extremely heavy, " The motherland needs you."
There was silence in the audience, and the mood of every participant was extremely complicated.
In the eyes of real soldiers, honor is above all else, and having the opportunity to join such a program is undoubtedly an opportunity that many people dare not even dream of.
But opportunity also means danger. Space is not the ground, and a little negligence will result in death without a place to die.
Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have emotions, joys and sorrows. They not only have to consider themselves, but also their families. How can everyone be calm?
And many people have heard another meaning from the major general's words: Astronauts will get out of the siege of elites and begin to become civilians and popularizers. In the future, more and more ordinary people will join the astronaut team.
You know, the moon base is used to resist the invasion of aliens, and the scale must not be small. Only a few hundred people can't bear such a heavy burden.
In addition, the cost of aerospace engineering is too high, so high that it must be carefully calculated, and the space of each spacecraft must be carefully calculated.
How many resources are needed to maintain the operation of such a large base? If all resources are transported from the earth, before the aliens attack, human beings will be dragged to the brink of extinction by the moon plan. Therefore, the moon base cannot be maintained entirely by blood transfusion from the earth. The moon base must be given the ability to produce blood, regardless of food supplies or military weapon.
Ye Han has only studied astronomy for a few days. He is not an expert in space, let alone a scholar in the moon. He can't guess what kind of plan there is. In short, self-sufficiency or even feeding back to the earth is an inevitable result.
Thinking about it deeply, the moon base not only has important military significance, but also important political significance!
The lunar environment is not suitable for human survival,
It is also not suitable for insects to survive. No matter how large the base is, humans must build it brick by brick. There is absolutely no living space for giant insects.
As long as the moon base is successfully built, it will become a truly safe place, and it will never be threatened by any kind of giant insects!
This is of great significance. Just imagine what it would be like to move the capital of a country to the moon? What if some of the citizens were moved to the moon?
It is true that today's technology cannot achieve large-scale space immigration at all, and everything has to be started from scratch, but this is a good start after all, and there is hope if there is a start, even if only some people are moved there.
Probably...maybe...probably...they, the pioneers, may have the opportunity to win the qualifications for their relatives to immigrate to the moon.
Thinking of this, Ye Han's heart was burning hot.
The meeting ended, but everything seemed to have just begun. Ye Han, who had been unable to find his way for a long time, was suddenly full of confidence in the future.
He really wanted to share his happiness with Bai Xiaoting, but all the news is confidential at present, even the students can only discuss the development plan in a confidential place, any student who leaks the secret will be severely punished by the military.
From this day on, Ye Han and other students began to pay attention to the news of aerospace. Judging from various clues, the country is indeed actively preparing for the development plan. Even the military's lack of resources is because the development plan takes up too many resources. .
The training team has not been disbanded, and the trainees are still learning their respective professional knowledge. When will they board the spacecraft, and when will the training be considered over.
Learning is no longer the focus of daily life, Ye Han finally has time to meet with Bai Xiaoting, talk about the pain of lovesickness, and take some time to care about the situation.
Half a year is not long or short. During this period, the military has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the north, and the insect swarms going south have also put great pressure on the military.
At the end of August, the temperature in the north began to drop, and the insect swarms living in the Siberian forest were driven away from their homes by the cold, and went south from the east, west and the middle at the same time.
Although the military had made sufficient preparations in advance, the huge swarm still made the military embarrassed, and some defense lines had to retreat under the pressure of the swarm, even reaching the point where conventional weapons could not stop the swarm. Chemical weapons were used to keep the swarm out of the line of defense.
Not only wolves attack humans, but giant scorpions, which are natural enemies of wolves, also attack humans from time to time. Every time a giant scorpion appears near the defense line, the military must dispatch artillery to control the situation.
Although the insect swarms on the eastern front were blocked by giant ants, the number of wolf insects was too large, so that the ant colonies on the eastern front suffered heavy losses. If the military did not take action to attack the insect swarms in time, the ant-occupied area would have to be broken through by the wolf insects .
In order to deal with the insect swarm, the military and the civilians also thought of many extraordinary ways.
For example, the central line took advantage of the nuclear power plant and built a coil defense network with a length of more than 100 kilometers, which played a great role in resisting the insect swarm.
The western front was inspired by the coil defense line, and several coil tanks were manufactured. To put it bluntly, a set of Tesla coils was installed on the tank, and a set of electrical equipment was installed in the car, so that it could be driven on the battlefield with enough fuel.
This thing rushes into the swarm, and the sound and light generated by the discharge is like a magnet to attract the wolves. Either the wolves will die or the tank will lie down, otherwise the confrontation between the two sides will not stop at all.
In order to block the swarms of insects on the eastern front, a group of extremely radioactive metals were placed on the defense line. Any giant insects that approached the defense line would be attacked by the extremely strong rays, and even if they broke through the defense line, they would not survive for a few days.
Although the method is good, it is a double-edged sword that hurts the enemy and ourselves. If you are not careful, you will cause heavy casualties, and the damage to the environment is also very serious. If it is not for the menacing insect swarm, the military will not use it. This method blocks the enemy.
All in all, although a considerable price was paid, the northern line of defense has always been firmly in the hands of the military, and the swarm has not been allowed to overstep the barrier from beginning to end.
