Everyone looked in the direction that General Manager Yang pointed.
Next to the launch site, there is also a giant factory.
"What's that? A military factory? I didn't hear you report it."
Commander Yang of the Western Theater Command then realized that General Yang was actually right next to the launch site.
They also built a large factory.
"Commander Yang, this is our assembly plant."
8 production lines, fully modular production.
This way, subsequent Gravity launch vehicles won't need to be disassembled, transported, and then reassembled.
"Direct assembly allows it to be sent to the launch center, saving a significant amount of time!"
"Mr. Yang, I didn't realize you had such strategic thinking?"
Commander Tang never expected that General Manager Yang would think of this!
"Has the first batch of Gravity rockets been assembled?"
"Report, Principal Su, four have been assembled, including all the power systems."
All the supplies that needed to be transported have been installed.
If these four launch vehicles successfully land on the lunar surface,
We can then proceed with a manned launch immediately!
"Principal Su, with our current pace, aren't we going to scare the Americans?"
Since the announcement was issued by the Northern Military Region
The original plan was to establish a research and development base on the moon within a year.
It's only been a little over three months, and it has already met the requirements for its first test launch. It won't be long before a manned lunar landing is achieved.
"Moreover, four test launches can ensure the safety of our launch vehicle, an absolute guarantee!"
Su Lin stood silently to the side.
If Gravity rover were to actually land on the moon, it would certainly provoke strong opposition from major countries around the world.
The pressure to launch a manned rocket again at that time would be immense.
It's better to make a decisive decision right away and wait for the Americans to react.
The foundation for the Moon Palace research and development base has already been laid!
How long does it take to assemble a launch vehicle at the assembly center now?
Mr. Yang thought about it for a moment,
"If all eight production lines are running at full capacity, eight brand-new Gravity launch vehicles can be assembled in three days!"
"Commander Tang, how's the astronaut selection going?"
"I don't know about other theater commands, but the four astronauts from the Northern Theater Command have passed all the tests."
We are currently providing final psychological counseling and emergency response training!
"Commander Yang, where is your Western Military Region?"
Commander Yang's lips curled into a smirk.
"When it comes to enduring hardship, no other theater command can compare."
The Northern Theater Command is ready, and our four astronauts can't wait!
Each Gravity rocket will employ a two-astronaut transport configuration.
Landing on the moon,
Currently, there are 16 astronauts in the four theater commands, who have undergone rigorous selection and training.
stand out
"Commander Tang, contact Commander Yuan and Commander Wang, and have all the astronauts assemble at the launch center tomorrow!"
"Principal Su's thinking is truly meticulous; he allowed the astronauts to witness the entire test launch process."
This will allow for a better understanding of the Gravity rocket's various operations and how to handle unexpected accidents!
General Manager Yang assumed that Su Lin's intention was to enhance astronaut training, hence the decision to relocate the launch site.
As the final training center.
"This is not training; there was no test launch for the Chang'e lunar exploration program this time!"
Su Lin said coldly,
"What? No test firing? Just fire it directly???"
Mr. Yang thought he had misheard. What rocket in the world doesn't go through design, manufacturing, and testing?
Ultimately, based on data from multiple test launches and through iterative improvements, it was officially put into use.
Launching a manned vehicle directly is far too dangerous!
"Principal Su, you're not joking, are you? Our astronauts are selected from hundreds of thousands of outstanding soldiers."
They were selected through a rigorous process, making them even more precious than J-20 pilots.
If anything goes wrong, the losses could be huge!
Commander Tang also felt that Su Lin's decision this time was too rash.
"What kind of soldier is he if he's afraid of death, Principal Su? What if astronauts from other war zones back down?"
Our astronauts from the Western Theater Command are ready to carry out missions at any time!
Commander Yang has a long history of conflicts and friction with the Indians in the west.
I am fierce by nature, and I am not afraid of dying in battle, as long as I die a worthy death.
"Principal Su, I have confidence in our Gravity rover, but is this really necessary?"
Either we test-fire one first, and if it's successful, then we can conduct a manned test launch.
This won't waste much time.
Su Lin looked at the launch tower in the distance.
Once China's Gravity rover successfully lands on the moon...
The US will definitely restart the Apollo program.
The Russians won't just sit idly by.
There will certainly be great resistance from the international community at that time. Will the moon really become the first satellite of Chinese colonization?
It's hard to say.
Both countries have successful experiences.
Given enough time, it's highly likely that the first research and development base can be completed soon.
Other countries will then join the race to land on the moon in other locations.
"Eight missiles, to be launched in three days!"
"Eight??? Principal Su, are you saying you're sending 16 astronauts to the moon in one go???"
Everyone around fell silent.
"I've made up my mind. Take me to see the transport bay!"
Accompanied by General Manager Yang, Su Lin and his entourage arrived at the assembly plant.
