Chapter 355: Wasn’t My Calculation in Vain? (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

"The number you have dial can not be reached."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."

Alexander was stunned as he held the phone.

Is Academician Luo's phone turned off?

This has never happened before.

Since Alexander got Luo Yao's phone number, he actually didn't call it a few times.

But as long as he called, the call would be connected every time.

Why was it shut down this time?

Could it be that he fell ill again?

If Luo Yao really falls ill, can the lunar base project continue smoothly?

Alexander called Shan Xing worriedly.

The call was quickly connected, and Shan Xing's voice came: "Mr. Alexander, what can I do?"

Alexander didn't mince words and asked directly: "Mr. Shan, how is Academician Luo's recent situation? I can't contact him. His phone is turned off."

Shan Xing looked surprised after hearing this, but he quickly calmed down.

"Academician Luo has been busy recently, so the phone is turned off. Do you have anything to ask him about?"

Alexander felt a little relieved after hearing this. He said: "Academician Luo is fine. I just received information that there is a problem with the V3 engine of the starship on Mars."

Shan Xing Yilin: "Where did you get the news?"

"Well, we have our own channels to ensure the confidentiality of information."

Shan Xing was silent.

I instantly knew that the other party had definitely obtained the information through illegal means.

But it's none of his business.

"Thanks very much for the information, but we will not be taking any action."

Alexander heard Shan Xing's answer and asked curiously: "Then will you take action?"

"The Mars exploration mission is currently led by NASA. We should respect their decisions and actions and not interfere without authorization."

Alexander understood, he had to wait for NASA's words.

Alexander nodded slightly to express his understanding of Shan Xing's position. He is well aware of the complexity of international space cooperation and understands that each country has its own decision-making processes and principles.

He thought for a moment and then said: "Mr. Shan, I respect your decision very much, but I also hope that you can pay close attention to the progress of the Mars exploration mission and provide support and help when necessary. After all, this is also an opportunity to show your strength. "

Alexander was actually exploring the bottom line of Chinese technology.

He still doesn't know yet whether Baidi can carry people to Mars.

After hearing this, Shan Xing responded with a smile: "Alexander, don't worry, our Chinese Space Administration has always been committed to promoting international aerospace cooperation and contributing to human aerospace industry. We will pay close attention to the progress of the Mars exploration mission and stay close to NASA." communicate."

"If there is a need, we will do whatever we can to help."

Shan Xing's words reassured Alexander a little, but he still wanted to know more details about China's aerospace technology.

He continued to ask: "Mr. Shan, I know that China Aerospace has made many remarkable achievements in recent years, especially your lunar base project. I want to know, does China have the ability to send astronauts to Mars? "

Shan Xing smiled slightly, knowing that Alexander was testing China's aerospace technology strength.

But he did not answer directly, but said in a humble and confident manner: "We, China Aerospace, have been working hard to improve our technical strength and make greater contributions to human aerospace industry."

"As for the Mars exploration mission, we do have relevant technical reserves and research, but there is currently no specific plan. The Mars exploration mission is a complex and huge project that requires joint efforts and cooperation from all countries."

He didn't reveal it at all, what an old fox.

After communicating with Shan Xing, Alexander released the news about the problem with the starship V3 engine.

Soon, major media outlets received this big news.

Internationally renowned news agencies, such as Reuters, have reported this matter in prominent positions, analyzing its possible impact on Mars exploration missions and possible countermeasures taken by space agencies of various countries.

Technology media pay more attention to technical details, trying to analyze the causes of engine problems and possible solutions.

In addition to written reports, major TV stations also rushed to broadcast relevant news and invited aerospace experts to interpret and analyze it. On social media, discussions on related topics continue to heat up, with netizens expressing their concerns about the Mars exploration mission and concerns about the safety of the exploration team.

NASA's public relations department has its hands full in this media storm.

Like hounds that have scented prey, reporters called NASA one after another, hoping to get more details and official responses. NASA's public relations department was busy for a while, constantly dealing with media inquiries from all over the world.

Local reporters heard the news and picked up their cameras and recording equipment one after another and rushed to the NASA building for on-the-spot interviews and reports. For a while, there was a crowd of people in front of the NASA building, flash lights were coming and going, and reporters were vying for a vantage point, hoping to capture the latest news and news. picture.

"Director, the reporters have surrounded the gate, and there are people squatting in the underground garage. Now we want to get out, but we can't get out at all." Pique reported to Bill worriedly.

Bill took a deep breath, knowing that this crisis was much more serious than expected.

The media and public attention far exceeded their expectations, and the problems with the Starship V3 engine undoubtedly cast a huge shadow on the entire Mars exploration mission.

"We cannot avoid it, we must face it." Bill said calmly, "Be prepared to hold a press conference, and I will personally explain the situation to the media and the public."

Of course, Pique hopes that Bill will come forward. If Bill doesn't come forward, reporters will guard the door every day.

Soon, NASA's press conference was held urgently.

Bill stood in front of the camera, facing countless pairs of eyes, he took a deep breath, and then began his speech.

"Thank you all friends from the media and the public for paying attention to us." Bill's voice was firm and powerful. "We deeply regret the problem with the Starship V3 engine, but we want to emphasize that we are doing our best to solve this problem. One issue to ensure that the Mars exploration mission can proceed smoothly."

"Mr. Bill, are you sure your people can solve the problem?"

"There's something wrong with the engine. Is this a small matter?"

"How long have the detection team been trapped up there?"

"There is a problem with the engine. Can it be said that the exploration team members are about to face the risk of energy shortage?"

"What are your current plans?"

"The first people to land on Mars encountered this situation. Are you sure you have a solution?"

The reporters’ questions were sharp and direct one after another, as if sharp knives were pointed directly at the heart of NASA.

This is no longer a heart-wrenching question, this is a direct stab into his heart.

None of them showed any mercy to him.

"We are currently working hard to find a solution. Please give us some time." After Bill finished doing Tai Chi, he quickly left the scene under the escort of security personnel.

Bill's departure did not calm the reporters' doubts, and many reporters immediately sent out news about the scene.

"Starship V3 engine problem? How does NASA save the Mars exploration team?"

"Can NASA solve the technical problems and ensure the success of the Mars exploration mission?"

These headlines spread quickly on the Internet, causing widespread concern and discussion, and people speculated on the severity of the engine problem and its possible impact on the entire Mars exploration mission.

The kind-hearted Chinese netizens couldn't help themselves after seeing this news.

"Damn it, are the Ugly people stupid? Those three people on Mars look like they've almost given up!"

"Those three people were originally victims, right?"

"So, if you don't have diamonds, don't take up the porcelain job. If you're so good, why will you end up on Mars?"

"There is something wrong with the engine. You don't expect NASA to remotely start it, do you? Don't you know that Mars is full of dust?"

"If NASA can't solve the problem this time, it will really be the laughing stock of the world."

"I really feel sorry for those exploration team members. If the ugly people are smart, they should quickly find a solution to the National Council!"

Many Chinese netizens did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement and put forward their suggestions without reservation.

These words were sent back to the Chou Country, and the people of the Chou Country discovered that something was wrong almost at the same time.

Yes, why hasn’t NASA taken any concrete action?

Does the other party really want to give up on the people on Mars?

Countless speculations arose at this moment, and the ugly Chinese called the National Congress unceremoniously, asking the other party to put pressure on NASA and send a rescue team to rescue the exploration team on Mars.

"NASA is just taking money and doing nothing. I hope you will contact NASA immediately!"

On the other end of the phone, the congressional operators also looked solemn. They knew the importance of the Mars exploration mission and how much the safety of the exploration team concerned the entire country and even the world.

The operators quickly reported the situation, and soon the Congress urgently summoned Bill and others to discuss countermeasures.

"Bill, can I ask what your plans are now?"

The congressmen stared intently at Bill, hoping to get some positive response from him.

Bill stood in the center of the conference room and met a pair of eyes full of expectation and doubt.

"Members of Congress, I understand your concerns and dissatisfaction." Bill's voice was a little hoarse. "First of all, I want to emphasize that NASA has never given up on the rescue operation of the Mars exploration team. We have been working hard to find solutions to ensure that Their safety."

"However, the Mars exploration mission itself is full of unknowns and challenges. The engine problem is the biggest problem we currently face. Together with the space exploration technicians, we have tried to restart, but failed." Bill said.

"Failed? Then why didn't you contact Hua Guo?"

"NASA's status..."

"Are you still considering status or not? The old gentleman just announced that Mars is our new colony some time ago, and now you have overturned?"

"If you can't repair the engine, the exploration team will have to wait three months on Mars for your rescue!"

"Are you going up to collect the mummies?"

"Now, the safety of the exploration team must be ensured. Otherwise, brain-computer experiments on humans will no longer be used in future space launch missions."

Bill felt embarrassed.

If the people of China really want to rescue them, where will their faces be put?

How could the congressmen allow him to say no? In the end, the congressmen used next year's R&D funding as a threat, and Bill finally compromised.

Bill returned to NASA and contacted Director Lei of the Space Center.

"Hello Mine Bureau, our exploration team has a problem on Mars. We hope for your support and assistance in carrying out rescue operations."

Director Lei: ...

"This, I would like to ask if you have obtained the consent of the old gentleman?" Director Lei did not reply to Bill, but asked the key question.

He didn't want to do something good and see the other person go crazy.

That old gentleman was notoriously insane.

"At present, our National Congress has agreed. The old gentleman is still communicating, so the problem should not be big."

Director Lei frowned slightly when he heard Bill's answer.

He knew that this rescue operation not only involved issues of technology and resources, but also issues of international relations and cooperation. Without the consent of the old man, the entire rescue operation may face huge risks and uncertainties.

"Bill, I understand your plight and needs, but we must also respect the old gentleman's wishes and decisions."

Director Lei said in a serious tone, "The rescue operation requires trust and cooperation from both parties. If Mr. Lao does not agree, then our cooperation may be greatly affected. I hope you can get in touch with Mr. Lao as soon as possible to ensure that he agrees to participate. This rescue operation.”

Everyone in Bill was speechless.

Why does Director Lei seem to care more about the old man's opinion than he does?

Bill had no choice but to tell the congressmen about the situation.

Fortunately, the old gentleman was unwilling to break up with the National Assembly and finally agreed to the congressmen's proposal.

Director Lei was also very happy after hearing the news.

He said that he would fully cooperate with NASA's actions and provide necessary technical and resource support to ensure the success of the rescue operation.

After communicating with Bill, Director Lei contacted Luo Yao. Blue Star flew to Mars and needed the assistance of the developer of Baidi.

He found that Luo Yao had turned off his phone.

The anxious Director Lei found Shan Xing and Zheng Yang. After explaining the situation, the three of them asked Xiao Moss. After confirming that Luo Yao was in the laboratory of the institute, the three of them went to the institute together.

"Gong Luo!" Director Lei shouted loudly, with a trace of anxiety in his voice.

Luo Yao raised his head and saw Director Lei, Shan Xing, and Zheng Yang standing at the door of the laboratory, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Lei Ju, why are you here?" Luo Yao asked doubtfully.

Director Lei quickly walked up to Luo Yao and told him everything about Bill's request and the exploration team's predicament on Mars.

His tone was urgent, hoping that Luo Yao could make an immediate decision to support the rescue operation.

"Rescue."

Luo Yao was speechless. Why did he come to the door after turning off the phone?

Needless to say, it must have been Little Moss who leaked it.

"Well, actually we don't need to take action."

Luo Yao shook his head.

"Gong Luo, what are you talking about?"

"The starship's engine is broken, and now they can't start it."

Luo Yao picked up a document from the table and said, "Well, I've already expected this."

"After a parallel engine like the Starship V3 breaks down, it can be repaired. That means re-arranging the engine starting sequence and synchronizing the ignition time of each engine. Although this process will be very complicated, Xiao Moss conducted a simulation and it is It’s completely achievable.”

"I have listed the calculation process and detailed operation steps here, you can show them to them."

After speaking, Luo Yao handed the document to Director Lei.

Director Lei took the document and looked at the dense formulas inside, his mind was in a mess.

Director Lei, who didn't know what to do, looked at Shan Xing.

Shan Xing hesitated and said, "Let's show them first. Maybe this way, our people don't have to fly over."

"It will take at least a month for Baidi to fly to Mars, which is quite stressful for our space pilots."

Zheng Yang also agreed with Shan Xing's statement, so Director Lei was responsible for taking the information to Bill, while Shan Xing and Zheng Yang stayed behind in case Director Lei needed them to provide further technical support or assistance after communicating with Bill.

After Director Lei returned to the space center, he quickly had someone send the information to Bill.

After seeing the information, Bill's face turned red.

He immediately asked Director Lei: "Director Lei, what do you mean by sending this information?"

Director Lei said inexplicably: "Of course I'm giving you a reference so that your people can find ways to repair the engine!"

Bill was so angry that he almost had a fit.

What a shame!

"Lei Bureau, the operation on your information is too complicated. It is difficult for our people to do it under the siege of sandstorm."

"Are you deliberately trying to embarrass us and want to see our jokes?"

"Is that so? Was this provided by Academician Luo?"

Bill couldn't think of a second person in China who could do such a cool thing.

There are more than fifty A4-sized pages filled with operation methods.

When their people are robots?

Bill thought of Luo Yao's triumphant face and felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

Needless to say, Luo Yao will definitely use this to diss them.

Lei Ju was also speechless.

How can you still make sense if you can't do it?

What does this have to do with him?

"Then the current situation requires us to send Baidi to rescue?" Lei Ju didn't want to argue with Bill and asked about business.

"You can't implement the method in the information?"

With a lump in his throat, Bill took a few deep breaths angrily before saying, "That's right."

Director Lei had no choice but to contact Shan Xing.

Shan Xing conveyed Director Lei's words to Luo Yao, and Luo Yao looked depressed: "They can't implement it? Then wasn't my calculation in vain?"

"The people at NASA are not as smart as I thought."

"Gong Luo, the current situation is special and we have to send Bai Di."

Luo Yao said helplessly to Little Moss: "Immediately calculate the shortest flight from Blue Star to Mars, and analyze all problems that may be encountered along the way, including but not limited to radiation belts, atmospheric crossing, etc."

【Calculating...please wait(￣▽￣)／】

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Moss came up with the calculation results.

Luo Yao planned this rescue operation based on the results given by Xiao Moss.

Shan Xing looked at Luo Yao and asked worriedly: "Gong Luo, are you really going to bring people back from Mars?"

Luo Yao looked at him inexplicably: "If I don't bring them back, why should I plan a rescue plan?"

"I'm worried that you won't bring them back because you think they are stupid."

Luo Yao stopped what he was doing and said seriously: "This is indeed a good idea."

Shan Xing:......

Why did I just say that?

It’s over, it’s time to become a sinner!

p.s. Guys, the new month is here. I’m asking for monthly votes and recommendations~
