Chapter 268 Some suggestions for my country’s aerospace development

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology!

Seeing the rave reviews from major media and the Internet, as the first person in charge who agreed to select scientists and engineers for the second batch of astronauts, Minister Liu was still a little hesitant about this matter.

After all, I have never done it before, and our aerospace industry has only just gotten on the right track. Astronauts have only been in space less than two or three times in total. It is really a bit early to open it to talents in other fields so soon.

According to normal planning, Minister Liu believes that it will take at least ten years before astronaut quotas are opened to talents in other fields, and by then he will have retired.

It was Zhao Mo who kept urging him, which made him unable to do anything, so he bit the bullet and went to ask for instructions from his superiors.

Now it seems that when it is opened up, it is also opened up. There is basically no opposition from the domestic people and they are full of trust and surprises.

Looking back at Zhao Mo's urging, Minister Liu suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Zhao Mo urged him, otherwise the opening would not have been opened when he was in this position, but someone else. Now that this hole has been opened by him, he will naturally be remembered in history, and the credit will be attributed to him.

"...The big Eastern countries select astronauts on a large scale, intending to start a new space race~"

"We are telling a major country not to act impulsively! Space activities are full of risks, and any negligence will lead to irreversible disaster~"

"China is preparing to send scientists into space, which demonstrates China's ambition to become a space power... Scientists going to space to conduct experiments are full of unknown risks. Once the experiments are leaked, it may cause irreparable disasters. This is a warning to the world. Human irresponsibility..."

……

Corresponding to the good news at home, there is a lot of exaggeration and worry from many foreign media.

There is a lot of exaggeration, exaggerating the threat theory, and talking about the space race and other clichés~

They are worried. On the surface, they seem to be thinking about the overall situation, but in the final analysis, they are all secretly saying that China's sending scientists into space to conduct experiments is a crime against all mankind. This behavior is similar to the attempt to destroy the world in movies and TV shows. mad scientist.

Minister Liu naturally paid attention to this, but he just sneered disdainfully and then forgot about it.

"It's just the same old tune~"

Minister Liu didn't care at all, and even became more determined to implement this policy.

If the enemy opposes it, it means that we are doing the right thing, so we must do it and persist.

"Minister, this is the space activity adjustment plan sent by the space agency. Please review it~"

When he was about to start working, his assistant knocked on the door and came in, took a document and handed it to him.

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Minister Liu nodded, then took the document and read it.

The document was very thick and he read it carefully.

It took about half an hour before he finished reading the document. The content can be complicated or complicated, and it can be said to be simple. It is a strategic plan for my country's future aerospace activities. It has been adjusted based on the previously determined foundation. It is based on the "one-thousand-ton high-thrust rocket engine" developed by Zhao Mo. .

In the document, the space agency believes that with an engine with a thousand-ton thrust, our space station, manned moon landing plan, Mars exploration and even deep space exploration plan can speed up the progress. For example, the construction plan of the space station is planned to be divided into three steps and strive to be completed before 2015; the same is true for the manned moon landing plan, which is expected to be completed by 2025...

"One is seven years ahead of schedule, and the other is five years ahead of schedule~"

Minister Liu thought about it secretly. Judging from his general appearance level, he knew that the file adjustment plan was basically feasible. Then he sighed: "Achievements happen because of people! This is the power of top scientists!"

Seven years!

Five years!

For a country, this time is nothing.

But for a rapidly developing country, and for China's aerospace industry, which is constantly catching up with other people's technology, this is an extremely long time and extremely precious time.

How much time are we allowed to waste?

No!

It can be said that there is not a trace!

In this world where the jungle prevails, our development needs to race against time. Only when the enemy does not come to besiege us, can we develop more strength and catch up with the progress, which will be a piece of capital against the enemy. Seven years and ten years are enough to bring about earth-shaking changes and enough capital savings for quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes.

Which one is more comfortable for us to fight against the enemy now, or for us to fight against the enemy seven or five years from now?

There is no doubt that it will be us seven years later!

And top scientists are here to do this, to shorten development time.

Just like what Mr. Qian and other older scientists did after liberation, and just like what Mr. Yu did incognito, they all greatly shortened our development time and created opportunities for our rise.

Just talk about Qian Lao. Those who don’t have Qian Lao return to China. Many people in China don’t know anything about missiles, so Qian Lao has to start from the beginning.

It can be said that if old people come back without money, the development of national defense forces will be delayed for at least ten years, or even more than ten years.

Minister Liu believes that Zhao Mo is this type of scientist. The development of high-thrust rocket engines has proven this. This report is the best proof.

"Okay!" Minister Liu nodded and prepared to sign his name on the document before submitting it to the cabinet for final review.

This kind of matter is so important that it requires cabinet approval before it can be implemented.

However, just as he picked up the pen and before he could finish writing, his assistant knocked on the door again and came in. He handed him a stack of documents and said at the same time: "Minister, Professor Zhao has sent some reports. Please take a look~"

Minister Liu was startled, then pointed to the right side of the desk and said, "Let's put it here first, I'll look at it right away."

The assistant hesitated for a moment and said: "Minister, why don't you read one of the reports first, and then review the report from the space agency? Professor Zhao's report is also in this regard, but it is different from theirs~"

"is it?"

Minister Liu was surprised, but he was also interested, so he didn't sign it, but took the report he mentioned and started reading it.

"Some suggestions for my country's aerospace development"!

The title of the report is very straightforward and easy to understand at a glance.

Looking through the contents, I didn’t write a long article, but wrote a general outline, and only explained the feasibility plan at some key points.

Minister Liu skipped some arguments and spent about ten minutes reading the report. When he understood what Zhao Mo's suggestion was, he immediately took a breath.

"Sigh~"

In the report, Zhao Mo briefly brushed off the issue of the space station and only suggested completing its construction before 2015, which is consistent with the space agency's plan. On the issue of manned moon landing and Mars exploration, Zhao Mo focused more on it, half and half. Zhao Mo believed that manned landing on the moon could be two to three years later than the space station, and then demonstrated a plan to start building a base on the moon in 2020.

As for Mars exploration, Zhao Mo believes that it can be carried out simultaneously with the manned moon landing. The Mars exploration project will be completed in 2015, and Mars sampling and return will be attempted in 2020 and a manned mission to the moon in 2030.

Minister Liu could tell that Zhao Mo believed that developing the moon was more important. Mars could be ranked second, but it was equally important.

"Good guy! This is much more radical than the space agency's plan~"

Minister Liu thought to himself: "No wonder the assistant's expression just now insisted that I read Zhao Mo's report before speaking."

The space agency is still thinking about manned moon landing missions and Mars exploration missions, but Zhao Mo has already thought about plans to build a base on the moon and manned missions to the moon, and has even demonstrated the plans.

This gap is not generally large.

Zhao Mo's plan is neither radical nor bold.

However, Minister Liu had to admit that Zhao Mo's plan looked more exciting. He couldn't help but feel excited because he had tried it for so long. He wished he could discuss it with Zhao Mo now and promote our country according to Zhao Mo's plan. aerospace development.

Of course, the reason for this is also because Zhao Mo's argument in the report was very detailed and scientific. He felt that it was extremely feasible when he looked at it. It seemed that the lunar base and manned landing were right in front of him and within reach.

After thinking for a while, he laughed and put away the report from the space agency without signing the agreement. Then he picked up Zhao Mo's report, handed it to his assistant and said, "Make a copy of Professor Zhao's report. After the photocopying is completed, the photocopied copy and the report from the space agency will be sent to the space agency for them to carefully evaluate the feasibility; Professor Zhao’s manuscript will be given to me immediately, and I will submit it to the cabinet.”

"Okay~"

The assistant responded and then went out.

He had known it would end like this.

After the assistant left, Minister Liu picked up Zhao Mo's other reports and read them one by one.

There are summary reports on high-thrust rocket engines and research projects on improving human physical fitness in conjunction with aerospace...

"Can the academic report be distributed?"

"If there is no risk of leakage, of course you can send it~"

"Improve human physical fitness in all aspects?"

"Is this possible? This is life science, and the Ministry of Science and Technology should be responsible for it. Why...good guy, you are using me as a support~"

Minister Liu immediately responded to some questions raised in the report after reading the report, and then asked his assistant to reply to Zhao Mo as soon as possible after the assistant completed the copy and returned to his office.

"Ok!"

The assistant puts down the information and immediately responds.

Minister Liu stood up, took Zhao Mo's aerospace development proposal report and walked out of the office, then went straight to the cabinet.

On the way, he looked at the report in his hand and remembered that Zhao Mo asked about the issuance of academic reports in the report, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: "What will happen if this aerospace development report is sent out? Didn't America say that we should do it?" Is it the space race? I wonder what your reaction will be when you see this report? Haha, true and false, false and true, it should be very interesting~"

There was a smile on his face...
