"The Chang'e lunar exploration program? Principal Su, you're taking too big a step; you might end up tearing your balls!"

"Yes, the Americans and the Soviets landed on the moon decades ago."

I haven't logged in since, and now I'm starting to wonder if the Americans were just trying to fool us.

"We don't even have the capability to launch Earth satellites yet, so how can we land on the moon? Should we have Chang'e carry us there?"

Even if we use nuclear power technology and reach the level of a moon landing, without reusable technology...

"We can't launch many rockets, and the national treasury is already empty. Sigh..."

The experts at the scene also seemed very unconfident about Su Lin's lunar landing plan.

Of course, Su Lin could understand this; at that time, China's aerospace technology was not yet among the world's best.

Even the International Space Station has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Even countries in Europe, America, Australia, and Japan have refused to cooperate with China in aerospace.

The intention is very clear: to nip China's space program in the bud.

Only Su Lin knew that after more than 20 years of development, China had long since become one of the world's leading spacefaring nations.

Did I say we would use recyclable technology?

From the very beginning, Su Lin had no intention of using recyclable technology.

I'm someone who traveled back from 2023; Musk's reusable technology is all talk and no action.

The mission to colonize Mars ultimately failed.

Large launch vehicles are not the first choice for Su Lin's Chang'e lunar exploration technology.

"Principal Su, without recyclable technology, the funding simply won't be enough."

"Didn't we calculate it before? The cost of rocket launches is too high!"

According to Su Lin, Musk made a very basic mistake by thinking about using launch vehicles indefinitely.

Transporting supplies to colonized planets was a huge waste of manpower and resources.

The second phase, utilizing Earth's gravity, presents significant challenges in terms of recyclability technology.

If it were the moon, the difficulty would actually be greatly reduced.

"If we don't recover them, our rockets will never come back after being launched?"

An elderly aerospace expert looked at Su Lin with disdain.

Having done aerospace research for decades, I can be considered a leading figure in the field.

"Of course we won't come back. Why would we come back? Our nuclear power system..."

They are all reusable; these are the first power sources for our Moon Palace!

After speaking, Su Lin looked at General Manager Huang, Huang Tianguo, the chief person in charge of the Qingshan Nuclear Power Plant.

"Mr. Huang, how long can our fourth-generation nuclear power system be used on a single refueling?"

Based on the experience gained from the previous development of the Pipi Shrimp's propulsion system,

The nuclear reactor technology at the Qingshan Nuclear Power Plant is now quite mature.

"Principal Su, it's been about a year now, but I think there's still a lot of room for improvement."

With further improvements to the fuel, it's possible to extend the lifespan to around three years!

"Enough! Enough!"

One year is enough time for Lanxiang Group to establish its first colony on the moon.

It's the Moon Palace!

"Principal Su, do you mean our launch vehicle will land directly on the moon?"

Then, we'll modify the launch vehicle's propulsion system to provide energy for our lunar base?

Finally, one of the younger experts understood what Su Lin meant.

It's worth noting that 10 fourth-generation miniature nuclear reactors would be enough to power the entire electrical system of a large aircraft carrier like the USS Mantis Shrimp.

The propulsion system used in this launch vehicle will consist of six fourth-generation miniature nuclear reactors.

Launching 10 rockets would provide enough energy for the entire Guanghan Palace base.

"But doesn't that still require reusable technology? What if our rockets fall to the moon?"

What if it explodes?

"Don't worry about that. With our 031 R&D base here, are you afraid of a failed landing?"

The 031 R&D base is the research and development institution for the fifth-generation fighter jet's vector engine.

For fine-tuning the power, and how to land in the best flight attitude,

They all have a wealth of experimental data and actual flight experience.

Ultimately, a rocket is just a large aircraft, just like the J-20.

"With the 031 R&D base, I think this method is feasible!"

Deng Liyong, director of the China Missile Technology Research Institute, said,

The video of the J-20's vertical takeoff previously sparked intense discussion worldwide.

This stability, when applied to launch vehicles, can also ensure the rocket maintains a good attitude.

Landing on the moon.

"Don't forget, the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth's, so its speed is very easy to control."

Su Lin added!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

"Damn, the Americans have been bragging about their Apollo program for 30 years now."

Finally, it's China's space program's turn to shine!

"According to current international aviation law, if we are the first country to establish a research base on the moon..."

Then that area belongs to our China!

"What is a research base? Once the first research base is completed..."

The entire moon belongs to China!

With the current space technology of other countries, let alone establishing a lunar base,

It's impossible to send another person up to plant a flag.

It's not good value for money.

However, according to Su Lin's plan, as long as 10 launch vehicles successfully land on the moon...

The first batch of researchers and construction workers can rely on the supplies carried by the rocket.

And with energy, they've begun constructing a base on the moon!

This time, Su Lin didn't plan to hide anything anymore.

The last aircraft carrier crisis completely severed ties between China and the United States.

Secretly launching rockets and building bases might actually fail to gain global recognition.

Then let's launch it openly and honestly!!!

"Commander Tang, will your military region be in charge of leading this project?"

Previously launched communication satellites, meteorological satellites, navigation satellites, broadcasting satellites, etc.

Most of them are for commercial or civilian use.

This Chang'e lunar exploration program is a formal announcement that China will become the first country to achieve this goal.

Countries that want to colonize the moon will naturally need the support of their military.

"Principal Su, you're so good to me. What have I, the North China Military Region, done to deserve this?"

"With your ability to drink three catties of liquor without getting drunk, Commander Tang, tell me if this is acceptable or not?"

"Okay! Absolutely! You'll handle the technology, and I'll talk to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Tonight I will officially announce the Chang'e lunar landing program!!!

"Okay, I hope that this time all departments, research institutes, and R&D bases will..."

If we work together, and encounter any difficulties or conflicts, you can report them directly to me, Su Lin.

Our goal is the stars and the sea!

"Received, Principal Su!"

"Damn it, once we colonize the moon, I'll show these Americans what a great power really is!"
