Although what Henry said was well-founded, every country has its own selfishness. Who would be willing to hand over their country's elite troops to the control of the Williams Empire? Moreover, the annual expenditure of this 100,000 joint force is huge. Is it necessary for each country to share it equally?

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Henry knew that his idea of ​​setting up the "Weiyuan" joint force was too simple. Henry couldn't help laughing at himself. He was thinking of everyone. After the establishment of the Weiyuan joint force, the power of the entire Weiyuan system country can be greatly improved in terms of external discourse power, but all countries are full of Williams Empire. Guess and precautions, obviously unwilling to agree to the establishment of the Weiyuan joint force.

Others kindly sent troops to help the Williams Empire, but in the end, they annexed their own troops instead. What would these countries think? If this plan is to be forcibly promoted at this time, it will undoubtedly damage the relationship between the Williams Empire and the remaining 14 countries!

Henry thought for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Okay, I don't think you are very willing. If this is the case, forget it! Then I will send my troops back to the countries! This war, thank you for the help from all countries, I will take out 50 billion Wei Yuan as a token of gratitude, and will be distributed among countries according to their contributions! For those who were killed and injured, the Williams Empire will compensate them separately!"

When the presidents of various countries heard this, they were very pleasantly surprised, thinking, how cool it is to get so much money by sending troops to "make soy sauce"!

And Henry did this with a purpose.

These countries got the money this time and tasted the sweetness. Then, next time, if Henry asked them to send troops, the countries would definitely send more troops. Invisibly, the Williams Empire possesses the armed forces of the remaining 14 countries. Before the Williams Empire has really become stronger, the power of the United 14 countries can make European and American countries feel a little bit afraid of the Williams Empire!

After sending away the presidents of 14 countries, Henry became obsessed with the development of artificial intelligence again.

Meanwhile, Henry is keeping a close eye on spaceX's plans to land on the moon. The manned spacecraft used to land on the moon has already been manufactured. It is called the "Zeus" spacecraft. The spacecraft is mainly divided into two parts: the main body of the spacecraft and the lunar module. When the spacecraft stops in lunar orbit, the lunar module and the lunar module The spacecraft separated and began landing on the moon. After completing the mission on the moon, the lunar module returns to the lunar orbit, combines with the spacecraft, and finally returns to the space station!

When the US Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, it used a three-chamber landing mode, with the command module at the top, the service module in the middle, and the lunar module at the bottom. The method of landing on the moon is basically the same. After the spacecraft reaches the lunar orbit, the lunar module leaves the spacecraft and goes to the moon. However, when returning, limited by the technical conditions at the time, considering issues such as weight and fuel, after the lunar module returned to the spacecraft, the lunar module had to be thrown away to reduce weight. Then the service module is powered to return to the earth. In the end, the service module will also be thrown away, leaving only the command module to return to the surface of the earth.

Today is different from the past. After 37 years, the Zeus spacecraft uses nuclear fission and graphene solar energy as a power source, which is enough to ensure the energy supply of the spacecraft. There is no need to throw away the lunar module, which is wasted!

On July 15th, spaceX held a press conference announcing that it will start the manned moon landing project on the 20th of this month.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Because so far, only the United States has successfully landed on the moon by manned people in the world! If spaceX can succeed, it means a lot!

Countless people are looking forward to the early arrival of the 20th.

5 days passed in the blink of an eye.

The launch site of the Zeus spacecraft is located at the spaceX launch center in southern Somalia. The launch center is located on the equator, and the linear velocity of the earth's rotation at the equator is the largest, which can save fuel for the rocket. SpaceX intends to send 10 astronauts there, and these 10 astronauts have taken the first-generation gene evolution medicine developed by Gene Umbrella, their physical strength has reached 1.5 times that of ordinary people, and their resistance to cosmic rays has been enhanced. Can better adapt to life in space!

At 09:00:00 am southern Somalia time, spaceX successfully launched a heavy rocket code-named "Falcon 8" at the launch center in southern Somalia to lift the Zeus spacecraft into the sky. The rocket is a two-stage rocket, the first stage uses liquid fuel, and the second stage uses nuclear fission to ensure that the Zeus will be sent to lunar orbit at the fastest speed.

In fact, spaceX has developed a plasma rocket thruster. However, at the beginning, the plasma thruster was very slow and could only produce 5 Newtons of thrust. If it is used for short-distance voyages like the moon, it is not as fast as other thrusters!

However, don't underestimate the plasma thruster.

Deep Space 1, which was launched as early as 1998, is propelled by an ion engine, and its impulse is equivalent to 10 times that of a liquid rocket (impulse is the final momentum minus the initial momentum, and the unit is kg m/s.) It consumes 100 grams per day Xenon propellant, when the engine is running at full speed, the speed increases by 25 to 32 meters per hour every day. It ended up operating more than 14,000 hours, more than all previous conventional rocket engines combined.

The birth of the plasma thruster has shortened the time from the earth to Mars from 250 days to 39 days, and may even be shorter! ! !

There is no doubt that spaceX has very in-depth research in this field. Retired NASA astronaut Zhang Fulin is now the main person in charge of spaceX's plasma engine. He is the first Chinese-American professional astronaut of NASA. He has a quarter of Chinese descent. He completed a Ph.D. in Applied Plasma Physics at MIT in 1977. Aspect is one of the most authoritative experts in the world! In 2005, he retired from NASA and established the Ad-Astra rocket company. SpaceX launched an acquisition of the company without hesitation, and finally brought talents like Zhang Fulin into the spaceX company!

The gravity of the moon is 1/6 of that of the earth, while that of Mars is slightly more than 1/3 of that of the earth.

Simple first and then difficult, complete the moon landing, and the next goal is Mars.

The rocket successfully sent the Zeus spacecraft to outer space, and flew towards the moon quickly.

The average distance between the moon and the earth is 38,400 kilometers. It took the United States more than three days to land on the moon. SpaceX plans to complete it in only one and a half days!

Thirty-one hours later, Zeus reached lunar orbit. The next moment, Zeus is about to send its lunar module into the moon.

The exciting time has finally arrived!
