Chapter 549: Must be ahead of them

As expected, this news has caused high heated discussions around the world.

"Our first lunar scientific research base has finally completed the formal project. I believe that it will not take long to travel to the moon, and it is not impossible for us to do anything."

"It can be seen that the recent exploration results of Golden Rabbit One are indeed very excellent, so that Rabbit can make plans for the lunar scientific research base so quickly. Sam is already at a complete disadvantage in exploring the moon."

"Sure enough, the first lunar scientific research base was built at Shackleton Crater. With the moon base, our exploration of the solar system will be further deepened."

Shortly after the news was announced, Sam Space Agency also learned about the news quickly.

"They actually... are going to build a moon base?"

Even though they were prepared for this news, Williams and others from Sam Space Agency still did not expect that the rabbit would prepare to build a lunar base so soon.

You know, as early as the last century, the Sam Space Agency sent astronauts to the moon for exploration many times.

Even so, they have never established any lunar base, and have only explored the lunar area of ​​a very small area and brought back a small number of lunar samples.

Building a lunar scientific research base is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do.

Not to mention how much construction-related technology is used inside, transporting so many construction materials to the moon 380,000 kilometers away is an extremely huge project.

"We have to tell the sir immediately."

Thinking of this, Williams immediately dialed the private number.

"What? The rabbit is actually going to officially prepare to establish a scientific research base on the moon?"

When the white-haired old man heard this news, he was also shocked.

In fact, just announcing a plan is not so unacceptable.

Because the plans previously announced by many countries were ultimately unsuccessful.

For example, Japan plans to establish a lunar base in 2025 to allow robots to be the "pioneer" of the moon.

So far, no major move has been started.

Tianzhu plans to launch the first unmanned lunar spacecraft in 2008, which has been delayed for more than ten years.

Including the various space programs of the Soviet Union and Sam Country, all of them have been dove for several years or more.

During this period, only Rabbit has been strictly implementing his space plans, with almost no delay.

Such performance is enough to make any other country believe that rabbits have always done their best.

"Sir, the location chosen by Rabbit is also one of the lunar scientific research bases planned by our Sam Space Agency. If they were allowed to occupy this position in advance, we would undoubtedly lose the opportunity to explore the moon."

Because there are no clear regulations on the use of the moon, and basically follow the principle of "first come first served".

Even if Sam Space Agency has long made plans for various lunar scientific research bases, these locations cannot be ready for Sam Space Agency at any time.

"Damn... they actually want to take the first place to occupy our planned position!"

At this time, the white-haired old man was still stubbornly thinking that these areas should be their Sam's, and he gritted his teeth without realizing it.

Thinking of this, the white-haired old man continued to ask:

"How are you preparing for the restart of the space launch system now?"

"We are already under active preparations. It is expected that our space launch system will be able to re-launch the moon rocket in as early as two to three years."

After regaining a large amount of funds, the Sam Space Agency focused almost all its energy on the restart of the space launch system.

But even so, it is not that easy to design a rocket from scratch.

"It's still a bit slow in two to three years."

At this speed, even if all the work goes very smoothly, it is difficult to overtake the progress before Rabbit builds a lunar scientific research base.

At this time, the white-haired old man suddenly thought of another solution.

"Director Williams, I ask you, if we completely replicate the Apollo project, how long can we re-complete the launch of the moon landing rocket?"

When Williams heard the words of the old man with white hair, he was stunned for a moment and then gave his own answer.

"If the Apollo project is completely copied, this will greatly reduce the time required for various research. As soon as possible, the moon landing rocket can be re-launched within one year. Just..."

"Just what?" asked the old man with white hair.

"It's just, you know, the Apollo project costs so much. Such huge funds are completely unbearable for Sam Space."

Although the entire Apollo project has been confirmed many times, it is a space project that can successfully land on the moon.

But the costs that need to be borne are beyond the reach of Sam Space Administration.

This feeling is like in the 21st century today, people still rely on manpower to build a Khufu pyramid.

Even if they can solve technical problems, they are not going to face.

"Director Williams, you estimate how much it will cost to copy the Apollo project?"

"Conservative estimates are about five times the cost of the space launch system research and development," Williams said.

This is also one of the reasons why Sam Space Administration has been reluctant to replicate the Apollo project.

Based on the current price, it would cost about 1.2 billion meters to build a Saturn V rocket, not to mention various other expenses.

The Saturn V Rocket cannot be recycled due to its own technical limitations.

This also increases the launch cost of each manned lunar rocket mission.

It is precisely because of this that the Sam Space Administration deliberately abandoned its original technology and decided to re-study the new moon rocket launch system.

But at this time, the sudden rise of Rabbit Aerospace Technology made Sam no longer have time to delay any further.

"Director Williams, I will help the space agency solve the problem of cost. Be prepared to restart the Saturn V project."

Williams' face was filled with shock when he heard the words of the old man with white hair.

Williams did not expect that in the face of such a huge expense, the gentleman still made this decision firmly.

"No matter what, you must never let the rabbit build a base on the moon first!"

Shortly after hanging up the phone, the white-haired old man found the relevant responsible person and announced a new measure.
Chapter completed!
