Chapter 803 Doubt about life

On that day, thick smoke billowed from the land of the United States, and the smoke column shot straight into the sky. People shouted, ran, and cried.

Especially some old people who experienced the incident decades ago, they all shed tears silently. After all, they lived in that era, and the memory of that incident is extremely deep.

Although the young people of the new generation have not experienced those things and don't know what the situation was, they also know something through some video, text, and picture materials.

So although young people don't feel as deeply as those old people, seeing such a situation now makes them feel quite uncomfortable.

I was excited, but also regretful, and the rest were deep sighs.

Yes, I'm very excited, because this kind of scene was not caused by the bombing of the United States, and of course, it was not done by the Arc Light Group.

The plume of smoke soaring into the sky is just the flight trace of the launch vehicle, not the bombing of a missile, let alone the world nuclear level, nor the flight trace of an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead.

The reason why the American people reacted so strongly, and some even cried, um, cried with excitement, is because the American country has not had such a spectacular and intuitive scene of proclaiming strength for a long time.

Since there will be a lot of propellers to be used this time, their size is small for the "Tutatis" asteroid that is close to five kilometers, but the pressure on the carrying capacity of the US launch vehicle is still not small.

Although due to alien technology, their launch vehicle technology has also been upgraded, but each rocket of different types can carry at most two to three "Hercules" thrusters, so a large number of launch vehicles are required .

Moreover, due to the particularity of the mission, they need these propellers to reach the predetermined area at the same time. Even if they cannot arrive at the same time, the interval should not be too long. The private rocket launch site just built by the former Musk Aerospace Company has been used.

In order to facilitate the implementation of follow-up plans and the later development of the company, Musk Aerospace put forward the request to build a private rocket launch site. As a result, it was acquired just after it was built, and before it was used once or twice, Musk Aerospace was acquired.

It just so happened that the United States would not let the Arc Group take it away, and the Arc Group did not want it, so in the end the United States spent some money and bought it again.

With the addition of initial island alien technology, the United States has launched a plan for a large aerospace aircraft. They also need such an aircraft, but the launch vehicle is not insignificant and cannot be left behind.

In the foreseeable near future, in terms of cost, the simple and crude recyclable launch vehicle will still be of great use, and its performance will continue to improve due to the addition of new plans.

Space activities in the future will increase sharply, and launch vehicles will definitely be indispensable, but this requires more rocket launch sites, so the United States directly bought the private rocket launch site built by Musk Aerospace.

This is the spectacular scene of more than a dozen rockets taking off together today.

It also made many elderly Americans seem to have seen the scene of the United States landing on the moon. It was so spectacular and exciting, and they could really feel the power of the United States.

However, some people lamented that this kind of scene looks so spectacular, so it feels like a general in his twilight years.

It looks quite strong, and it looks mighty even in armor, and it can dance a set of sword skills to kill enemies with a knife, but only you can know whether you can play and kill enemies.

At this time, the space command center in the United States is also highly tense, and several command rooms are constantly busy.

It was also the first time for them to launch more than a dozen rockets at the same time, because there were so many items to monitor and command that one command room could not be busy at all, and several command rooms had to be used.

Moreover, these command rooms have to cooperate and cooperate with each other, and their respective data must be closely communicated with each other, and there must be no mistakes at all, otherwise there may be a chain reaction.

"...No. 3, No. 4, and No. 7 rockets are tracking normally, their attitude is normal, and their fuel consumption is normal..."

"...No. 5, No. 9, and No. 11 rockets are tracking normally, their attitude is normal, and their fuel consumption is normal..."

"...reaching the predetermined altitude, the auxiliary thruster and the first-stage thruster are disengaged, and the landing process of the auxiliary thruster and the first-stage thruster is started..."

"...The fairing is detached, the detachment is normal, the rocket flight attitude is normal, and the fairing landing procedure begins..."

Listening to the report one after another in the command center, all normal sounds, until the rocket enters space, and then those third-stage rockets carry all the "Hercules" smart thrusters towards the "Tutatis" asteroid After passing by, Victor was finally relieved and applauded following the applause of the staff in the command center.

Next to Victor is his acquaintance, Deputy Director Bretta of the Tactical Technology Division of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Yes, so this plan also received their strong support.

Bretta reached out to shake hands with Victor and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Victor, the pressure on your space agency should be much less this time, and you have finally made such a big achievement under the pressure of Arclight Aerospace. One incident brought the eyes of the world to America once again."

"It's true that the eyes of the whole world are refocused, but the pressure is reduced," Victor shook his head preoccupied, "I don't think so."

"How to say?"

When things have progressed to a certain stage, they don’t need officials like them to stare at them all the time. At this time, the propellers are rushing to the asteroid “Tutatis” in space. There are not many things, and it is not easy to go wrong. , so the two came to drink coffee.

Victor took a sip of coffee before answering Bretta's question, "You know, our mission this time is actually to pick up cheap, and the Arclight Group didn't think or plan to mine asteroids, so we came up with this plan .”

"With the scientific and technological strength of the Arclight Group, if they want to mine small stars, it must be much easier than ours. How can this gap in strength reduce the pressure?"

"That's true," Bretta was also aware of the problem, frowned and took a sip of coffee, "From the perspective of the technology we have come into contact with, take the aerospace project that is about to succeed, although we have borrowed a lot Alien technology, but the final results may not be as good as the first-generation aerospace plane of Arclight Aerospace.”

"What's more, the aerospace planes of Arclight Aerospace have been improved many times, and even the third-generation aerospace planes we have classified for them can already do vertical takeoff and landing."

"This type of aerospace plane is already the prototype of a small spaceship. The only difference from the small spaceships in science fiction movies is that it is not yet capable of deep space voyages."

"That's right, this is the gap between the two," Victor said a little sadly.

"There is nothing on Arclight Aerospace, but it has the same level of technology as science fiction movies, while our side has obtained the alien technology in science fiction movies, but it looks like real life."
