Technology Bigshot Chapter 534: ：Overtaking on a curve]

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to him, and Musk stared at the screen and said word by word: "I think it can, not only can allow the time lag, but also give us enough time to prepare, and also It can relatively save a lot of investment money!"

"What do you mean?" Charles looked at each other suspiciously.

Elon Musk got up from his seat in an instant, without even glancing at Charles, he quickly came to the main screen, everyone watched Musk's every move silently, the latter glanced at everyone, then looked at Go to the home screen and say: "Three and a half months later, the orbit of Mars will arrive here, which is the so-called golden launch cycle, right!"

Musk looked back at everyone, saw everyone nodded silently, he looked back at the screen again, pointed at three terrestrial planets, and said, "This is Mars, this is Earth, this is Venus, three planets orbit , Mars will begin to orbit from the shortest distance and gradually move away from Earth on the 260th Earth day."

"What if we choose to chase the distant Mars from the inner orbit?" Musk said more and more smoothly, pointing to the three planets in the orbit of the star map, "Guys, this year! It's the prime launch time. During the golden launch period of 2019, let's look at the diagram of the orbits between the three celestial bodies of Earth, Venus and Mars..."

The scientist looked at the orbits of the three planets in the star map, and Musk's remarks instantly made his eyes light up, and his heart suddenly brightened and excited, "Mr. Elon, don't you mean yes... yes..."

"That's right!" Musk nodded slowly, then looked back at the star map, and said: "Not only can we get more preparation time when Mars is far away, but also transport more materials to outer space for assembly. , including the outpost base, can also complete the pursuit of the target Mars, and complete the curve overtaking from the inner ring of the earth's orbit."

"Look, our spacecraft is assembled and resupplied at the Earth's orbital berth, then accelerated away from Earth, into low-Earth lunar orbit, using the moon's gravity to gain the first additional acceleration, not much but as much as possible Use, this can save the first fuel, and then change the orbit to fly to the inner orbit of the earth..." Musk said while pointing to the star map towards Venus, and said at the same time:

"At that time, our spacecraft will start to go straight to the orbit of Venus, and obtain a second additional free acceleration through the gravity of Venus. The acceleration obtained from the gravity of Venus is not small. The acceleration provided by the gravity of Venus can save us With a large amount of fuel, after gaining acceleration from Venus, our aircraft will leave the orbit of Venus, go straight to Mars in front, and overtake through the inner ring curve to finish chasing the distant Mars!"

With that said, Musk looked back at everyone.

"Is this okay?" Charles asked when everyone was silent, looking at the scientist.

"It is feasible, I think the feasibility of Mr. Musk's proposal is as high as 80%. Venus is currently located between the earth and Mars, and is also a planet in the inner ring of the earth and the orbit of the second planet in the solar system. Mars is the fourth orbit, absolutely feasible! This is the golden position in the golden position." The scientist said excitedly, "No no, I need to verify the new channel proposed by Mr. Musk immediately, I have to go, time is precious !”

Charles Boll, with his hands on his hips, watched the scientist leave excitedly, and immediately said to his assistant: "Free up the quantum computer, all the delays in use and application for use are completed in the new waterway. No one has the right to use it, understand?"

Elon Musk said with a smile: "Once this channel is verified to be feasible, it will be a matter of killing three birds with one stone. The outpost base is feasible, two free gravitational accelerations, and the completion of the Mars landing."

"Finally, there is some exciting news!" Charles showed a rare heartfelt smile.

A week later, the new channel was calculated many times in a quantum computer produced by dwave company purchased by NASA, and the results were confirmed to be completely feasible. The possibility of overtaking on a curve from the inner orbit of the earth can be described as a real golden segment. This kind of launch golden cycle is a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

The new channel was immediately established, all plans were overturned and re-formulated, and everyone in the entire NASA agency was busy. At the same time, they did not forget to announce the news of the new channel. After the new plan was disclosed, The outside world knows that NASA is also ambitious this time, and it is going to play a big ticket.

Both sides are ambitious, and these are the things that the global media loves to see However, the two sides have proved to the outside world with practical actions that in the field of space exploration and in the future, who is the real global leader.

Recently, the whole world can feel the heat of this space race. Other countries and institutions can only sigh with admiration for the competition between cnsa and nasa, and the Mars competition between cmsx and spaex. The means of these two heavyweight "players", other aerospace agencies or space exploration technology companies can only be used as a foil for comparison. The purpose of existence seems to be more to set off the strength of these two "super players".

2027 is undoubtedly the most exciting year for practitioners in all aerospace fields in the world. The competition between the two super players has set off a turbulent frenzy in the field. Practitioners call it a new era of post-US-Soviet space hegemony.

The field of global space exploration is frantically stimulated by the admission of two "super players", and it is constantly developing. Even the US-Soviet space hegemony in the last century seems to be stretched.

In promoting the development of human space exploration, the competition between these two "super players" will inevitably go down in history. No matter who wins or loses, they all have indelible achievements in promoting human aerospace.

That being said, no one wants to be defined as the loser's side in later documentaries. Especially for the United States, which has always been regarded as the global leader in this field, this challenge is even more unacceptable.

In terms of NASA, there are two famous rocket launch sites, one is Cape Canaveral Air Force Base at Kennedy Space Center in Florida; the other is Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on the west coast. The two famous rocket launch sites ushered in the busiest stage of use since the US-Soviet space arms race.

At Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, the lure tube is being broadcast live to the world, and a large number of American people are gathered at the scene, because today, NASA will deliver a core module weighing 158 tons to the in low Earth orbit.

NASA's spacecraft to Mars has been officially named "Noah" and announced, and this core module is the core component of "Noah". On the launch site, a skyscraper-like super rocket stands around the launch tower, which is the famous American sls rocket.
