Chapter 773 Wherever You Go, Spray Wherever You Go!

Across the ocean, Washington, DC.

Hansen was in his cold home, holding a cup of coffee, watching the TV in silence.

It was another big move. The international channel on the other side also broadcast the same content. From the behavior, it can be seen that the other side is becoming more and more confident, not only in the field of aerospace.

He had experienced the golden age of the United States and was vaguely familiar with this feeling.

When the huge rocket component slowly landed, he just frowned deeply.

But when he saw the mechanical squid-like thing holding a melted satellite.

His hand holding the coffee trembled.

Some hot coffee drops fell on his feet, but he didn't feel it at all.

Satellites

It can be said that they are an indispensable and important part of current human technology.

Communication satellites, navigation satellites, observation satellites, meteorological satellites, military satellites, reconnaissance satellites.

Whether it is life, transportation, agriculture, or military, they cannot do without the support of satellites, but ordinary people don't perceive it clearly.

Despite its importance, satellites were considered "safe" in the past. For example, in low-Earth orbit, the satellite moves at a speed close to the first cosmic speed, which is 7.9km/s. It is impossible to shoot it down stably.

Rocket? Yes, satellites are sent up by rockets, but in comparison, it is the difference between accelerating chopsticks to the first cosmic speed and using chopsticks to kill a fly flying at the first cosmic speed.

And there is only one chance.

In higher orbits, although the speed is slower, it is thousands of kilometers away from the earth, which is beyond the reach of jumping.

But now. China has mastered this ability.

And it is exclusive.

The change brought about is equivalent to his missiles being able to blow up other people's pockets, but others cannot blow up his pockets.

Although Hansen is very disgusted with the Cold War mentality and the "politicization" of aerospace technology, he can also realize that the impact of this technology is greater than "rocket recovery".

Hansen stood in front of the TV in a daze for a long time, until the coffee was cold, and then he reacted.

He walked back to his workshop and turned on the light.

On the wall, there are all kinds of design drawings.

Design drawings of the lunar probe.

If you are familiar with the history of spaceflight, you can see that there are many shadows of the lunar module of "Apollo 11".

He sat in front of the computer, opened the drawing software, and tried to analyze the strange device of the "mechanical squid".

Unfortunately, after trying many times, he only had the shape but not the key.

He couldn't help but feel that he was old and had long passed the peak period of an engineer.

Although he was getting more and more experienced, experience could only make him see clearly when "looking back", but could not make him creative and inspired when "looking forward".

After a few times, he had to give up the plan of "analysis", pondered for a moment, and opened the email.

There was a content that had been edited long ago.

It was an application for the "Return to the Moon" plan and the lunar probe project.

Although today's news made him feel a little sad about his aging, he had to say that it should also increase the probability of this "project" being promoted.

Those politicians would care about whether the United States is still leading.

Even if it is superficial.

So, he may want to make some achievements quickly to offset the impact of the "breakthrough" over there.

He has been preparing for this for more than ten years. If it is approved, the action should be very fast.

Hansen re-edited the content, suppressed his disgust, and went against his own ideas, adding the concerns and threats about the "Chinese technological breakthrough".

Then he clicked send.

He is really old and his time is running out.

——————

On August 22, two days after the launch of the "Two Cakes Modified".

News from the outside world is still flying all over the sky.

Ordinary people are shocked by the technological breakthrough.

Multinational space agencies have also actively or passively expressed their views on this technological breakthrough.

Although most of them are congratulations, it is obvious that these departments are under pressure.

Amid the undercurrent, Xichang Base.

Zhou Rui is saying goodbye to Director Sun.

"Only one part was recovered. The remaining second stage and the capture device are still on the way. I will leave the car to do some work and carry out follow-up work here."

Director Sun wiped the teacup. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still advised: "Mr. Zhou, why don't you stay a few more days? If you feel bored in the base, you can go around the surrounding area."

Zhou Rui waved his hand: "No, if you count Beijing and North, it's been almost two months since I came out this time."

The phone vibrated slightly, Zhou Rui took it out and took a look. It was Guan Ge's feedback on public opinion in the past few days.

Because it was also related to the Space Administration, Zhou Rui forwarded it to Director Sun on the spot, and the two read the report together.

Guan Ge's public opinion feedback has become more and more professional over the years.

First of all, in overseas regions, the reputation of "Kaiming Intelligence" has skyrocketed again, with a feeling of changing from "a world-renowned technology company" to "the world's strongest technology company."

At least that's the reputation.

Now that "Taiyi Tiangong" has just begun to show its strength, most of the reputation still falls on "Kaiming Intelligence". Anyway, the outside world thinks it is the same group.

They are all companies under Master Zhou.

Of course, the "satellite recovery" technology has its own sensitivity and deterrence. Many netizens are discussing whether their country's satellite will be taken down one day.

When it was announced to the public two days ago, Zhou Rui and Director Sun also discussed it. However, after all, this technology is unique to "Tai Tian Gong", which is a private enterprise!

When the thing is taken out, it looks scary and face-saving, and it won't hurt people too much at once.

When it is shown and shaken, the deterrent effect is just right.

At the level of ordinary people on the Internet, people are still discussing how sci-fi this technology is. There is not much content exposed in the program, only a salvage scene, and most people don't understand the principle.

As for how much professionals can see, Zhou Rui doesn't care much.

The core of the "capture device" is still "mechanical intelligence", not the structural secrets.

Of course, it is inevitable that the "satellite recovery" technology will be feared by people, but it seems that there is no good outlet.

You say it threatens other countries

We are a private enterprise.

You say it has bad intentions

We are a private enterprise.

You say it.

Well, let's not talk about it for now.

As for the domestic public opinion, how to say it? This summer, aerospace is hotter than Tokyo in 1945.

Let’s not talk about the topic on Weibo. The story of Gangzi and Yutu is still being broadcast as a TV series. “Rocket recovery” and “satellite recovery” have been exposed again.

The title of a space power is getting brighter and brighter, and deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Director Sun looked at the statistics in the report and smiled sweeter than his first love.

Finally, he experienced the feeling in the aviation field before.

What is a “technical blowout”?

Zhou Rui is a walking well!

Wherever he goes, he blows!

Director Sun put down his reading glasses, and his smile was kind and gratified.

The more he looked at Zhou Rui, the more he liked him.

If his son was not old, he would want to make them a pair of brothers.
