(I, Hu Hansan, am back!)
After the meeting, Commander Tang drafted the latest announcement.
Arriving at Su Lin's office,
"Principal Su, please check and see if there are any other oversights?"
Commander Tang handed the drafted plan for the Chang'e lunar exploration mission to Su Lin.
According to the plan,
The first phase of the project will achieve the goal of landing the launch vehicle entirely on the lunar surface.
The second phase of the project will involve manned landing.
The third phase will utilize the existing launch vehicle's propulsion system and cargo transport capabilities.
The first scientific research base, Guanghan Palace, was officially established on the moon.
Although it's called a research base, it's actually China's first military base in outer space.
"The overall plan is roughly what I envisioned. The first phase is planned for 3 years???"
"Principal Su, this isn't just a simple moon landing; we need to land the entire launch vehicle on the lunar surface."
Three years is a very short time!
"Why would we need three years? Our power system, control system, and circuit system technologies already meet the requirements."
Including research and development time, it should be ready for official launch in six months at most. What? We still need to crash it for two and a half years first?
"Just succeeded?"
Commander Tang leaned against Su Lin's desk.
"Principal Su, this is the moon landing program; I need to report it to the higher-ups."
If we say we'll succeed in one year and it doesn't, we'll bear a huge responsibility!
Based on Su Lin's experience before his transmigration...
What China lacks is not talent or technology, but creativity and the courage to innovate.
I certainly can't repeat the same mistake.
Keep in mind that the US had already successfully landed a man on the moon almost 30 years ago.
Theoretically, the technology is certainly feasible.
If one is afraid to take responsibility for the sake of one's own reputation and position, how can one achieve the ideal of unifying the interstellar space?
When will that be possible?
"One year is the maximum allowed. Our actual R&D time must be shortened to about six months!"
"You said it yourself, and I'll say it was Lanxiang Group that said it."
I'm just a roughneck, I don't understand any of this cutting-edge technology, so you can write it however you want!
Commander Tang sent the revised Chang'e lunar exploration plan to the propaganda department of the Northern Military Region.
The official representative for this operation was the Northern Military Region.
The partners are Lanxiang Group, its various research institutes, R&D bases, and new technology companies.
At noon, Commander Tang, representing the Northern Military Region, held a press conference at Huaxia Daily.
The news was announced.
This immediately sparked a barrage of questions from reporters in the audience.
"Commander Tang, are you saying that if this plan succeeds, China will be able to establish a research base on the lunar surface within 5 years?"
Before the press conference, Commander Tang had already communicated with Su Lin.
However, when asked such a highly technical question, Commander Tang handed the microphone to Su Lin.
"This is Mr. Su Lin, the chief designer and person in charge of our Chang'e lunar exploration program. I believe he can answer your question!"
The reporters' cameras instantly all pointed at Su Lin.
"Cough cough~~~~~"
Su Lin adjusted his state.
"Not five years, but within two years we will establish a research and development base on the moon!"
"Two years???? China's lunar rover hasn't even landed yet, so which school did Su Lin graduate from?"
Have you ever worked on the International Space Station? I've never heard of that before.
"I checked, he's not very educated, just the president of Lanxiang Vocational School. But according to Chinese reports..."
The J-20, the USS Mantis Shrimp (USS Pipi Shrimp) aircraft carrier, and the Dongfeng series missiles all participated!
"Anyone can build missiles. We already have more than ten aircraft carriers; we can't fit them all. This is the lunar landing program."
This is probably just another smokescreen from China!
An American journalist simply didn't believe what Su Lin said.
The US previously established the Apollo program to send a person to the moon.
A series of manned lunar landing missions were organized and implemented between 1961 and 1972.
It cost over 25 billion US dollars, equivalent to 200 billion RMB.
That was 200 billion over 60 years ago; with today's inflation, it would be at least three times that amount.
In the end, they only sent a few people up for a quick look around; they couldn't establish a research base on the moon at all.
"Chief Designer Su, according to the plan you announced, this lunar landing program will cost at least trillions of yuan."
Will it cripple China's current economic development?
Su Lin and Commander Tang only announced the specific timeline of the plan, but not the technology used.
All of this is absolutely confidential.
"I can only tell you that the project funding for this plan is absolutely within China's capabilities."
Furthermore, your technology is far too outdated.
Su Lin's words caused an uproar at the scene.
The US is currently number one in the world in the aerospace field. Not to mention China, even Europe has been left far behind.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, even the Russians have conceded defeat.
"So, Chief Designer Su, could you please disclose the project funding for this project?"
Another reporter from the United States raised his hand and asked a question.
"Could you get Clinton to send me a detailed breakdown of the US military spending tonight?"
This is a press conference, can you use your brain when asking questions?
The reporters below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment.
At previous press conferences, the spokespersons from China basically gave evasive answers.
It's either firm opposition or severe condemnation.
I was really unaccustomed to encountering Su Lin's bluntness today.
"Then, Chief Designer Su, did this project involve any cooperation with other countries? The relationship between China and Saudi Arabia has been very delicate lately!"
"The entire project will be independently developed by China. Of course, after the project is successful, China also hopes to collaborate with research institutions around the world."
We will establish a cooperative relationship, but everyone must abide by all the regulations of our Huaxia R&D Base!
"Alright, that concludes today's press conference. We hope you will all stay tuned."
There have been significant advancements in China's Chang'e program, and we will respond accordingly as soon as possible!
Commander Tang figured that if Su Lin kept going like this, he'd probably get a call from the Chinese Foreign Minister tonight.
After all, in this kind of situation, even a single wrong word could trigger huge global controversy!
"Click-clack click-clack~~~~~"
The sound of cameras clicking filled the air below the stage!
