Chapter 106 Undercurrent
Mark is not just talking nonsense.
Three days later, at the Xinghai Space Base, a ship that was urgently dispatched and loaded with relevant materials, carrying two astronauts with medical knowledge, took off into the sky on a rocket.
The goal is to reach Mars' synchronous orbit.
In the Xinghai Quantum Communication Laboratory, Fan Ren’s research on quantum communication equipment soon produced results.
Nowadays, the various scientific researches conducted by Fanren require scientific researchers, because the required professional knowledge is too high, and it is completely impossible to recruit new students from schools.
In the laboratory, just like the last nuclear fusion research, most of the scientists involved were from the Academy of Sciences of the Daxia Ministry of Industry.
Originally, Daxia was in an absolute leading position in the world in quantum communications, but it had never been able to solve the difficult problem of how to use quantum to transmit information, so the research and development progress had been stagnant.
After Fanren joined, he proposed a solution.
It took only two months to complete the development of quantum communication technology.
However, since the basic science of this communication technology has not reached a certain level, the information transmission distance is currently limited and can only be effectively transmitted within 5 million kilometers.
It is not yet possible to achieve real-time communication over wireless distance as the system claims.
However, this is completely sufficient within the distance that humans can currently reach.
The current maximum distance between the Earth and Mars is only 4 million kilometers.
Immediately afterwards, a Xingyun series rocket carrying a quantum communications satellite took off and flew towards the Earth-Moon orbit.
He did not forget what Fan Ren had said, that this satellite would temporarily be responsible for civil communications between the Earth and Mars.
After a period of testing, it can completely replace traditional radio wave communication technology, thus realizing ultra-long-distance and zero-delay communication.
Xinghai's development is carried out in multiple projects simultaneously. As long as Jin Qiaoying does not give Fanren a financial warning, he will not stop.
The construction of the space elevator has been completed to an altitude of nearly 10,000 kilometers.
As the technicians become more skilled, the speed will continue to increase, and the remaining 26000 kilometers will be completed in the next three months. If there are no problems with funding, the goal will be achieved without any surprises.
At the same time, Xinghai Technology has announced to the world that it is recruiting professionals with certain qualities who can travel to space and the moon for long-term residence and engage in mining, building space elevators, and other work.
As soon as the news was released, countless resumes flooded into the Human Resources Department of the Aerospace Base.
Who doesn't want to go to space?
Who doesn’t want to take a stroll on the moon?
Regardless of whether they have relevant professional skills or not, hundreds of millions of resumes are received with the hope of getting selected.
There was no other way, Fan Ren could only use a supercomputer to screen these resumes.
But even so, there are millions of resumes from people aged 20-45 who have relevant professional skills and health certificates.
In this painful and joyful situation, this "recruitment" project began.
According to Fanren’s plan, these recruited professionals will undergo three months of simple space survival training.
At that time, they will be transported through the completed space elevator directly to the interstellar spacecraft docked above, and then transported to various places where they are needed.
Among them, the lunar base requires the most personnel.
As this "job recruitment notice" fermented, the space elevator project that Xinghai was building finally surfaced and gradually aroused heated discussion.
Although humans have gradually become accustomed to the two companies, Star Ocean and Spieth, starting to vigorously develop the aerospace industry.
But up to now, the transportation of materials between the ground and the air still relies on rockets with extremely low cost-effectiveness.
But now, suddenly Daxia has begun to actually build a space elevator.
This project was mentioned in the early years, and some relevant forces even made a fuss about it, saying that it would be approved for construction. But seven or eight years later, the company that originally proposed the project has taken the investors' money and disappeared without a trace.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that Xinghai was unknown, there was no public bidding, and no public project fundraising, but it released the news all of a sudden.
Even at this time, the construction height of the space elevator has reached 10,000 kilometers.
This time it is no longer fake. This is a real space elevator that has completed half of the construction period and can replace traditional rocket transportation missions.
It is foreseeable that after completion, the previous spaceflight model will be completely changed.
The United States, the capital.
It's another week of coal body meet-up.
"Mr. President, what do you think of the space elevator that Daxia has almost completed? As far as I know, our Nasa is still reluctant to part with their space station that has exceeded its scrap period. Are the authorities just ignoring this gap?"
Wells was silent. She must have known the news from Daxia, but she had never cared about it before.
I originally thought that I could hold off until the election period, and once her position was completely stabilized, I could make relevant policy adjustments to deal with it.
But now we have to do it in advance.
Just this week, polls showed her approval rating had dropped to single digits, an all-time low.
If he did not have the support of a group of interested parties behind him, he might not even be able to maintain a single-digit approval rating.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "We already know something about Daxia's space elevator project.
At the same time, I have proposed a series of plans for Nasa.
I think this is avoidable. Because of Daxia's unbridled competition, we have to speed up our space development.
With the approval of Guohui, we will increase investment in space development. It is expected that by the end of the year, within half a year, the new space station will be completed to replace the space station that has exceeded its service life. "
Wells paused, and when he saw that the reporters had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to end this terrible meeting early, he was interrupted.
"Is that all? Do we think we can catch up with Daxia in the aerospace industry by relying on a new space station? President Wells, I'm sorry. Although this is very rude, as a journalist from the United States, I still want to tell you that under your leadership, the once great United States will completely lag behind Daxia. It is an honor that you and our contemporaries have become the indisputable sinners of the United States."
After the reporter said this angrily, Wells left the scene in a hurry with a gloomy face.
South Australia Kingdom, capital.
Mohan held a silver cube in his hand, his eyes revealing obsession.
This is the tri-titanium alloy extracted from the fan crystal stone.
The strength level is dozens of times higher than that of aluminum alloy.
It's a pity that even considering South Australia's vast territory and rich reserves of various minerals, this thing is extremely rare.
Thinking of this, a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.
The damn moon actually has such a product.
It was not until Xinghai announced its nuclear fusion technology and the method of refining tri-titanium alloy some time ago that he finally understood why Daxia was vigorously developing the aerospace industry and concentrating human, financial and material resources on investing in lunar mining projects.
The purpose of all this is to get rid of the fact that their own mineral sources can only rely on South Australia.
With this in mind, he picked up the phone and called President Wells' office.
"Wells, I think it's time for us to meet and have a good chat."
