Restarting the Apollo program?

boom!

The three of them were shocked again and looked at Benjamin in confusion.

Joseph, in particular, was almost about to start cursing.

I'm talking to you about the city gate tower, and you're talking to me about the hip axis?

Now that the situation is so serious, why bother restarting the Apollo program?

And what is the Apollo program?

This was an action carried out by the Eagle Sauce in the 1960s and 1970s that shocked the world.

It is to develop manned rockets and spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon.

That was the first time that humans left the Earth's orbit, entered the moon 38 kilometers away, and successfully landed on the moon.

The Apollo program was carried out a total of 17 times, and all spacecraft participating in the mission were named after the number.

The first to sixth times, that is, Apollo 1 to 6, were responsible for simulating the moon landing mission and making adequate preparations.

It was not until Apollo 7 that attempts were made to enter lunar orbit and simulate the landing process.

After several consecutive tests, when Apollo 11 flew into space, mankind finally embarked on the journey of conquering the universe.

From then on, people all over the world remembered the two names.

Armstrong, Aldrin!

They set foot on a planet other than the Blue Star for the first time, leaving a deep mark in human history.

The Apollo program did not end there.

Spacecraft No. 12 to No. 17 all successfully completed the manned lunar landing project.

To date, a total of 12 astronauts have set foot on the lunar surface.

Unfortunately.

Due to funding and technological reasons, the exploration of the moon has been slow to yield huge economic returns.

In the early 1970s, the United States finally stopped this massive project.

From then on, humans landed on the moon.

Until today in the 21st century, perhaps apart from Longguo, which is still working tirelessly on the research and development of manned lunar landing, no other country wants to do such an earth-shaking thing.

And now...

Benjamin actually proposed to restart the Apollo program?

The three of them were dumbfounded.

"Forehead……"

Joseph felt embarrassed and sat back on the soft sofa chair.

He tried to ask the other party in the most elegant tone possible.

"Mr. Benjamin, I...can I ask you, what is the relationship between restarting the Apollo program and Yecheng, or controlled nuclear fusion?"

He really didn't expect it.

The other party did not allow Fo Bole or the National Defense Agency to participate in the arrest of Ye Cheng, but mentioned this matter.

Benjamin, however, looked at Joseph as if he were an idiot.

"Oh! God damn!"

"If the intelligence of the leader of the Eagle Sauce doesn't improve, it would be better to elect a dog to be the leader of the Eagle Sauce in the next election."

"you……"

Joseph's face flushed again.

puff!

Jacob behind him almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Perhaps, apart from the previous Mr. Eagle, the only person in the world who dares to talk to Joseph like this is Benjamin.

"You're so damn..."

When Joseph heard Jacob's laughter, he could only turn around and glare at him.

But I am still confused.

Depend on!

What does restarting manned lunar landing have to do with controlled nuclear fusion?

Cheng Jun on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

He tried to say, "Mr. Benjamin! As far as I know, the Apollo program in the last century also brought back lunar soil for experiments to promote the full implementation of controlled nuclear fusion."

"You mean..."

"Since Yecheng has handed over all the technology to Longguo, it means that Longguo has completely mastered this technology."

"It's useless to capture Ye Cheng anymore. We can only stop him on the moon?"

Benjamin's eyes lit up and he looked at Cheng Jun with admiration.

"Haha, kid! Forgive my offense just now. It seems that you are really a qualified Eagle Sauce person."

Cheng Jun ignored the other party's appreciation and continued his analysis.

"Controlled nuclear fusion requires the use of helium-3! Because it is too difficult to extract tritium and deuterium."

"If Longguo masters this technology, it will also have to go to the moon to obtain a large amount of helium-3."

"Especially... recently, Longguo's Chang'e 6 just landed and started collecting data, so..."

Following Cheng Jun's analysis, Joseph broke out in a cold sweat again.

Yes!

Helium three!

Helium three!

What an important energy source.

Back then, the Apollo program brought back a large amount of lunar soil, which provided an important foundation for the United States to study the universe.

But scientists soon discovered that helium-3 extracted from the lunar soil is the most important thing.

Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, only a few hundred kilograms were accumulated in the end.

Could it be that Dragon Country has already begun...

Joseph imagined all the action on the other side of the ocean.

First step, open the refrigerator...

Pooh!

Build a large-scale controlled nuclear fusion device.

The second step is to launch a manned rocket, drive a manned spacecraft, land on the surface of the moon, and collect a large amount of lunar soil.

third step……

Fully realize controlled nuclear fusion!

Snapped!

Joseph, who figured everything out, couldn't help but slap himself again.

I'm so fucking stupid.

How come my son-in-law hasn't thought of such an obvious thing?

He said excitedly: "That's right! Mr. Benjamin, since Longguo has already mastered this technology, it will be useless to capture Ye Cheng or kill him."

"The most important thing for us now is to capture Ye Cheng to obtain this technology, and at the same time restart the Apollo moon landing plan, and take all defensive measures before Longguo..."

Joseph said no more.

Because he understood that this plan was too grand.

We have the technology.

We have no shortage of astronauts either.

In terms of financial strength, it ranks first in the world.

However, this time, the manned lunar landing may not only involve collecting a large amount of lunar soil and extracting the helium-3 contained in it.

More...

Block the Dragon Kingdom from landing successfully.

What will happen in lunar orbit or on the lunar surface at that time?

He simply couldn't figure it out.

This requires a large think tank to analyze dozens of countermeasures.

But the premise of all this...

Or restart the manned lunar landing program!

"That's it!"

Joseph stood up excitedly, clenching his fists.

"Mr. Benjamin, once I tell the parliament about what Dragon Country knows, the parliament will never stop this from happening."

"It is imperative to restart the Apollo moon landing program!"

"In addition, the Apollo 18, 19, and 20 spacecraft have even been built long ago. We can launch three launch vehicles in succession to send them all to the moon!"

As soon as Joseph finished speaking, Jacob quickly gave him a thumbs up.

"Boss, you are so wise! With a brain as stupid as a pig, I can't think of such an excellent response plan!"

"Hahaha……"

Joseph laughed triumphantly, his hands on his hips, and looked at Benjamin proudly.

Are you saying I'm stupid?

And let a dog be the boss for the Eagle Sauce?

Lao Deng, you are a little too shameless.

"Hehehe!"

Benjamin also showed a gratified smile on his face, with an expression that showed he was a teachable child.

In my heart, I felt greatly relieved.

Idiot!

If Qin Wenjing hadn't been able to drive the [Escape Pod] back to Area 51 and hadn't gotten the silicon source, why would I have persuaded you to go on a manned moon landing?

The collection of lunar soil was false, and so was blocking the Dragon Kingdom from landing on the moon.

Achieving our ultimate dream is the most urgent thing!

With Joseph's help, everything went smoothly.

"That's it. We'll find a way to capture Ye Cheng, and you guys will be responsible for the execution of the manned moon landing!"

"I'm tired. If you need anything, let's talk over the phone later..."

Benjamin stood up, leaned on his crutches, and left without hesitation, hastily ending the conversation.

This made Joseph feel like he was halfway through pulling out his shit and suddenly sucked the other half back in.

Let’s not talk about that uncomfortable feeling.

Benjamin, why are you walking?

When will manned landing be carried out, when will the rocket be launched, what mission will be carried out, and how will large amounts of lunar soil be collected.

And can you provide us with technical support?

You just ran away without explaining everything clearly?

Hey!

It’s really unreliable.

But Joseph had no choice. What could he ask for when facing an old man who might ascend to heaven at any time?

You have to solve everything by yourself.

After one hour.

The three of them were on the special plane returning to the White Palace.

Joseph's face was flushed as he sat in a spacious chair, drinking red wine in big gulps.

The thought of what he was about to do made him excited.

Now that we have the hostages in our hands and with the strong support of Area 51, capturing Ye Cheng should be easy.

After all, according to Ye Cheng's temper, he would definitely go to Yingjiang in person and save his lover with his own hands.

Catch him, develop key technologies, and then manned the moon to stop the Dragon Kingdom. The Eagle Sauce will fully implement controlled nuclear fusion...

Joseph felt extremely happy when he thought about the future.

Perhaps, he will be the greatest American leader in history, no doubt about it!

Cheng Jun, who was sitting not far behind Joseph, had been frowning since he boarded the plane.

Jacob, who was beside him, felt relaxed.

It’s so nice that we don’t have to use Fo Bole to organize the capture of Ye Cheng.

Seeing Cheng Jun looking worried, he couldn't help but ask.

"Colonel Cheng Jun, what are you thinking about? Haha, are you regretting missing the chance to fight Ye Cheng?"

"Haha... If you really want to participate, I advise you to find Mr. Eagle and ask him to transfer you to Area 51..."

Jacob said this insidiously, but secretly he wished that idiot Cheng Jun would die quickly.

It would be best if you died in the mission of capturing Ye Cheng, and don’t jump around in front of me in the future.

Cheng Jun was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He glanced at Jacob with contempt and laughed.

He raised his hand and patted his future father-in-law on the shoulder.

"Mr. Yingtong!"

"Hmm? Cheng...what's the matter?"

When Joseph saw Cheng Jun calling him, he turned his head and a smile appeared on his face.

"You don't want to join this arrest operation, do you? No, forget it. I will arrange for you to go to Nasa and be responsible for cooperating with them to carry out the entire manned lunar landing plan!"

Since it is a matter that will go down in history, there is no way Joseph would not send his own people there.

In the old man’s opinion, finding the best home for his daughter will allow him to live his life without regrets.

However, Cheng Jun didn't care at all whether to participate in the manned moon landing or not. Instead, he frowned and shook his head.

"No! Mr. Yingtong, what I want to say is not to participate in the operation to capture Ye Cheng, but..."

"Do you feel that, Mr. Benjamin, you look so familiar?"

"look familiar?"

Joseph was stunned.

The empty bottle of red wine told him that he had drunk too much.

The old man laughed, reeking of alcohol.

"How could he look familiar? Cheng, let me tell you! Apart from Yingjiang, there are only a handful of people in this world who have seen Benjamin in person."

"Apart from the important researchers around him, only the former Eagle Commanders can see him."

"You and Jacob should be thankful that you have the opportunity to meet him today. How could he look familiar?"

Jacob on the side also hurried over to compliment him.

"Yes, yes! Boss, if you hadn't led us to Area 51 today, I, as Director Foberle, would not be qualified to investigate..."

"Get the hell out of here!"

After Joseph scolded Jacob, he smiled at Cheng Jun and handed him the red wine glass.

"Haha! Cheng, stop frowning! What awaits us will be the greatest era of the Eagle Sauce. Why not drink a glass and face the most difficult challenge..."

He wanted Cheng Jun to drink as well to celebrate everything that happened today.

However, Cheng Jun did not take the wine. Instead, he thought for a moment and muttered to himself.

"Looks familiar! Really familiar..."

"and many more……"

Cheng Jun's eyes lit up, and he took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and placed it in front of Joseph and Jacob.

"Look, Mr. Benjamin, doesn't he look very similar to him?"

"he?"

Joseph and Jacob turned to look, their eyes widened.

But what Cheng Jun took out of his trouser pocket was actually a hundred-dollar bill.

Above, a bald old man was facing the two of them...

It seems like a smile but not a smile!
