Chapter 91 Phase II Project The successful launch of Xingyun-1 did not give the Xinghai Space Base any time to rest. As soon as the rocket body was recovered, it was transported back to the base for inspection and maintenance. Due to time constraints, the second launch vehicle is still under construction. At this time, the Xingyun-1 took on most of the subsequent launch missions. This was also the reason why Fanren strongly requested the use of recovery technology. If we have to wait for a new rocket to be built every time, it will take a long time to complete the lunar mining project. And the funds consumed will also increase exponentially. Fan Ren sat in the office, looking at the busy workshop in the distance and listening to Zeng Yingying's report. "According to the plan, the inspection and maintenance work of Xingyun-1 will be completed today, after which it will be reassembled for a new round of pre-launch preparations. In the next stage, the plan is to meet up with three astronauts in Asgard space, then head to the Earth-Moon orbit and fly to the moon first. At the same time, if nothing unexpected happens, Xingyun-2 will also be assembled during the same period and can enter the mission launch phase.
The plan is for Xingyun-2 to carry the lunar orbital command center and go to the moon together with Xingyun-1, which will carry the first three astronauts. Zeng Yingying finished speaking and stood quietly aside. "How long will it take to complete the construction of the remaining three Star-Fortune series rockets?" Fan Ren sat down and asked a question that had been giving him a headache recently. The two spacecraft are responsible for the voyage between the Earth and the Moon, and also have to take into account the transportation of materials. There is no chance for rotation at all. Even if recovery technology is used, after each launch and recovery, it will take about 15 days of transportation, inspection and maintenance before a new round of launch preparations can be made. The round trip takes at least 20 days. This is the fastest speed that can be achieved in Daxia, which now has the world's top industrial scale. It is too slow. If we want to fully take into account every link of transportation and save the lengthy recovery and inspection cycle, five Star Series rockets are the minimum number. Zeng Yingying said quickly: "The Ministry of Industry is already operating at full capacity. The project that was expected to be completed in five months can now be completed two months ahead of schedule." Fan Ren nodded. Although he wanted to launch five rockets at the same time, it was impossible in reality. Even so, the speed was already jaw-dropping for everyone. Seeing that Fan Ren didn't say anything, Zeng Yingying took out another document. “The second phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in six months. The first step is for the three astronauts to reunite with the Xingyun-2 and fly to the lunar synchronous orbit to build a command center. In the second step, the return Xingyun-1 and 345 will be responsible for transporting the lunar lander, mining and exploration equipment, base construction materials, living systems and other supplies. It is expected that the infrastructure construction of the lunar base will be completed within five months. The third step is that after completing the above work, Xingyun-15 will transport astronauts in batches to the lunar base to carry out a small-scale semi-automated mining plan. The project is expected to be completed in six months, at which time the third phase of mining expansion will begin.” "very soon." After listening to this, Fan Ren couldn't help but sigh. It would only take about half a year for him to get the first batch of Fan Crystal Stone from the moon. By then, we will be able to truly carry out the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion projects.
"Yes, that's right. In order to ensure our progress, Chief Li travels around the various rocket construction factories all day long. He wants to keep an eye on them all the time, fearing that they will slack off." When Zeng Yingying said this, a smile appeared on her face. "Don't talk nonsense. Commander Li and I signed a military order in front of Elder Ye. This project not only has many benefits for us Xinghai, but is also extremely important for Daxia. It involves the upgrading of future industrial levels. How can he not be anxious?" Thinking of Chief Li's somewhat fanatical expression when he talked about the many uses of tri-titanium alloy, Fan Ren also laughed. "Oh, by the way, President Jin asked me to ask you, don't you plan to go to Mars next?" Zeng Yingying said this, looking at Fan Ren mischievously on her sweet face. "Haha, we won't go to Mars for now, it's too far. For now, we just need to complete our set goals one by one. Mr. Ye's strategy of taking steady and slow steps is actually very correct. Xinghai is a private company and we don't need to consider the attitude of investors. The most important thing is that we take every step steadily." After Fan Ren said this, he fell silent. When he was in college, Mark's Spieth Company was also a great company that he aspired to work for. Later, when the other party proposed the "Mars Project", he began to admire Mark. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that this guy was actually using this extremely hot topic to drive up the company's stock price, and actually had no operational support for the plan. The other party's image in his eyes also plummeted. But now, whether it is because of the need to stabilize the stock price or because Mark still has a dream in his heart, this plan has finally entered the implementation process. Zeng Yingying looked at him standing there lost in thought. That face, which was not very handsome to begin with and was just so-so, now made her somewhat obsessed. Fan Ren suddenly turned around and touched his nose awkwardly when he saw her like this. "Report to Chief Li, I want to meet with President Mark to see if we can reach some cooperation projects." A look of shyness flashed across Zeng Yingying's pretty face, and her charming eyes looked around awkwardly. Seeing this, Fan Ren understood what the girl was thinking. After hesitating for a while, he took two steps forward with a smile on his face and came in front of Zeng Yingying. "Does your family still ask you to go back for a blind date?" "Ah? No, no!" Zeng Yingying was so surprised that she looked up quickly. She was frightened by Fan Ren who was so close to her and tried her best to deny it. Fan Ren looked at her mischievously without saying anything, and his gaze gradually became gentle. It has been four years since he 'picked up' this girl. During these four years, Zeng Yingying took care of his daily life, and in the early days she also took care of Xinghai's logistics management work. During the busiest times, I would work for days and nights with Fan Ren and a group of researchers, and then just rest in the company office. Later, after the chip laboratory was established, she followed him to the laboratory and continued to be responsible for his daily life, as well as some miscellaneous secretarial work. There are few women around Fan Ren. Zeng Yingying is the only woman who has always been by his side and knows every aspect of his life. It's simply unrealistic to say that I have no idea at all.
But earlier, because Xu Min and the other party were roommates, she never thought about it in this way. But now, Zeng Yingying has already moved out of the shared dormitory in Linhai for a long time. The embarrassing thoughts I had in the past gradually faded away. Even now, he could see Zeng Yingying's growing admiration for him. Fan Ren smiled slightly, no longer hesitated, reached out and gently held her in his arms. "Since you don't want a blind date, then it's a bargain for me." He held the beauty in his arms, and it was the first time in his life that he truly hugged a woman. (End of this chapter)
