Chapter 608: National Moon Landing Plans

Island country, Kagoshima Space Launch Center.

It is affiliated to the island country's space science research institute and is the launch site of the island country's deep space rockets. It has been used for decades and still carries out the launch plan every year.

Edo Castle calmly looked at the launch tower of the Myu launch site, with pride in his expression.

A small country has two space launch sites. It can be seen from this small detail that their country's ambitions have never been small.

They are located in an island country where disasters are frequent and resources are scarce. Every year, disasters remind them to have a sense of crisis, so they are always looking for new territories.

Therefore, they have an ambition that is completely inconsistent with their own size.

For them, the arrival of a new era is another opportunity for them.

Huaxia has successfully landed on the moon, retrieved the moon rock, and took the lead in the upcoming changes.

The oil resources on Earth do not have their share, but it is different on the moon. As long as they have the technology to develop, there is an inexhaustible supply of helium-3, that is the endless wealth, and it is where they fulfill their imperial ambitions.

China has the Chang'e plan, the United States has the Hercules plan, Europe has the Dawn plan, Russia has the Yuri plan, and their island countries also have the "Monthly Reading Plan".

In the era of great voyages, the island nation of the United Kingdom will become the empire on which the sun never sets to rule the world. If they succeed, even if the next empire on the sun does not belong to them, they will definitely become one of the world powers.

Over the years, they have been oppressed by the United States too hard. Once the change comes, it means chaos. It is also an opportunity for them, an opportunity to be on an equal footing with the world powers.

"Director Edo, the base called to say that the rocket's production is nearing completion and will be completed in about a month." A female assistant came over and interrupted Edo Castle's thoughts.

"Oh, I see."

After the female assistant left, Edo Castle continued to stare at the launch tower in a daze.

A month is neither long nor short.

No one can say for sure, perhaps, this is where their empire set sail.

...

South America,

The North Atlantic coast, Guyana, is home to the European Space Launch Center.

Ariane's second launch site was busy at this time.

As director of the European Space Agency, Jan Werner was also on site, keeping an eye on the progress of preparations for the work on the site.

Soon, the rocket will be shipped to assemble, and this time their goal is clear, to start the long-stranded 'Dawn Project'.

The Dawning program is a European moon landing program, which has many similarities with the new U.S. space program "Hercules Program". The main contents of the program include:

Carry out a series of unmanned lunar exploration, including lunar orbital exploration, lunar soft landing and lunar rover survey.

Realize manned landing on the moon and establish a lunar base.

Using the moon base as a springboard, manned Mars exploration.

The plans are to use lunar exploration as a technical exercise to establish a lunar base, and then on the basis of developing lunar resources, use the moon as a springboard to implement manned landings on Mars.

The plan was proposed as early as 2004, but it has been delayed under various excuses.

After their launched lunar satellite Wisdom 1 completed its mission, there have been no new lunar probes and no lunar landers.

During this period, Huaxia successfully surpassed them and successfully launched the Chang'e lander, becoming the third country to land on the moon.

In recent years, China's development has become more terrifying.

First, the landing on the back of the moon, and then recently, the army ant group successfully entered space, and the space boom appeared, and countries around the world had to pay attention to this matter.

Countries in Europe that are still in dispute have to combine different opinions and unite at this moment. Their long-shelved Dawning plan finally made new progress.

No progress is possible. Now that the Huaxia nuclear fusion power station is about to be successfully launched, the resources on the moon are particularly important.

It used to be the era of oil, and the future is the new energy era of nuclear fusion. Helium-3 is the next 'oil', and no one wants to fall behind.

"How long will it take for the rocket to be built?" Werner asked.

"Claude replied just now, it will take about ten days. It will take half a month to send it here." The assistant beside him said.

"Half a month? Just right." Werner said.

As long as the probe successfully landed on the moon this time, it will be of great help to their future plans, and the participating countries will also give them more research and development costs.

...

The Baikonur Space Center, built in 1955, is the former Soviet Union's spacecraft launch site and missile experimental base, located in a desert area of ​​Kazakhstan.

It used to be the largest space launch site in the Soviet Union and the place where the dream of human spaceflight began.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia and Kazakhstan signed a lease agreement in 1994 to reopen the space center, which is still an important place for the world's spaceflight after decades.

Mendelov looked up at the super-heavy rocket standing on the launch tower, pointing straight at the sky, with a wrinkled face that seemed to be full of stories.

The rocket in front of you is the latest Russian super-heavy rocket, the Polar Bear series.

This rocket also has a story.

Its predecessor was the N-1 rocket that the former Soviet Union planned to use for manned landing on the moon. After the N-1 rocket failed to launch four times in a row that year, the former Soviet Union had to suspend the manned lunar landing plan.

Before the moon landing program was launched again, the Soviet Union disintegrated.

Russia inherited most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, including the technical information of rockets, as well as most of the scientists and technical teams.

Over the years, Russia has been secretly developing and improving the N-1 rocket. After decades of technical improvements, it has finally succeeded. And the hot spot of space exploration is once again buzzing, and the Polar Bear series of rockets will be the core of their new space journey, the "Yuri Project".

Only they know how much the rocket team has suffered over the years for the Polar Bear series of rockets.

The designer of this rocket is his teacher. His teacher has devoted his whole life to the rocket. After the teacher left, he took over the teacher's work and continued to improve the design of the rocket.

After years of continuous improvement in design and testing, the rocket technology has matured.

The last time Chen Mo went to the sky, after the Kremlin issued an order, the space agency announced the launch of the 'Yuri Project' to the moon again.

The Army Ant Group announced that they had retrieved the Moon Rock, and their team also heard about it.

Huaxia has mastered nuclear fusion technology, and now they have mastered moon landing technology. If they do not plan ahead, no matter how large their land is, they will not have a place in the future.

Their country maintains its economy by selling energy resources. Once nuclear fusion technology emerges, they will not be far from collapse, so they have to make up their minds and move closer to high-tech.

Mastering lunar exploration technology will definitely help them, because the era of nuclear fusion technology has arrived, and the moon is another "oil field", an "oil field" the size of a planet.

"Teacher, the assembly of the rocket is complete, and you can refuel at any time."

A middle-aged man in a research robe came over and reported the progress.

"Then it's up to God." Mendelov looked up at the Polar Bear rocket on the launch tower and sighed.

The story of the predecessor of the Polar Bear rocket is not good. This is the last test launch. If it fails, it means that their efforts over the years will be in vain. And as long as the test launch is successful, it means that it can perform the mission of manned landing on the moon.

The Marching Ant Group announced the successful return of the Moon Rock, which affected the hair of the global lunar exploration program.

Not only the United States, Russia, and Europe, but also India, island countries, and Israel, all ambitious and capable countries are preparing for the moon landing plan, and no one is willing to lag behind.

The two nuclear fusion power stations started by the Marching Ant Group are nearing completion, and the nuclear fusion technology will soon be put into practical use. This means that the era of nuclear fusion is about to open the door, and the resources on the moon will become the object of global competition.

It has been brewing for a long time, and now the wings of the butterfly have been flapped.
