Chapter 187 Inheritance
Lao Ma... Well, Lao Ma actually had plans to go to China many times, but it was difficult to arrange the schedule before, and now he can't go.
Now SpecaX is an important partner of the Artemis program. The heavy Falcon rocket undertakes half of the lunar mission. NACA and NASA are still in competition!
If Lao Ma also has a Tonghua Gate, it will be bad. If SpecaX is reviewed, the Artemis program will definitely be delayed. I can't go.
...
In July, the Earth OL aerospace camp was refreshed.
The Aber camp ushered in an epic enhancement, with its own space shuttle, its own big rocket, and its own world's second largest space station.
Strictly speaking, Aber is now the world's number one, and the space of the five XS-62 improved compartments is amazingly large.
These spaces are of course not wasted. In addition to some scientific research equipment, they are mainly used for enjoyment and prayer.
The Shira Space Station has been broadcasting for three consecutive days, doing nothing else but a series of religious activities.
Believers of Allah around the world have to accurately calculate the time of the five prayers and the time when the Hilla space station passes over them every day, so as to pray to Allah who is resting on time. An astronomy student from the University of Aber made a simple timetable for various places and recorded a video on how to estimate the ephemeris using the traditional method of Aber.
The video quickly became popular and set off a wave of astronomy. They made up their astronomical knowledge in order to accurately observe the space station, set up satellite antennas in order to receive the gospel of Allah (referring to the astronauts reading scriptures), and understand the weather in order to obtain the best observation period.
The global sales of astronomical telescopes ushered in a small peak. After all, the requirements for both human eyes and weather are too high if you look with the naked eye. You can see it clearly with the cheapest astronomical telescope.
Every day, a huge number of believers follow the Hilla space station through the Internet, television, and radio, and call it "Mecca in the sky".
These achievements are attributed to the old King Alert and the brave Crown Prince Hamad. Alert received millions of letters of condolences in the last 6 hours of his life.
Alert was already at the end of his strength when the last module was launched on June 26. On the 26th, 27th and 28th, Alert, who maintained a good spirit for three days, gave a speech, arranged domestic affairs, personally presided over two launch missions, and received dignitaries from various countries.
But his health was actually deteriorating rapidly. When the first scripture came from the Hilla Space Station, Alert could no longer stand up.
With the reputation accumulated from the two launches and the space station, Alert smoothly handed over the power to Crown Prince Hamand, and then went to see Allah.
On the way to transfer Alert's body from the hospital to the temple, the number of people marching on the street exceeded 1 million. They crowded wildly just to tear off a piece of shroud as a symbol of faith.
At the same time, believers from all over the world once again set off a wave of donations. Crown Prince Hamand... The king immediately announced that the money would be used to establish a fund dedicated to the development of the Arab Space Agency to make more contributions to the spread of the gospel of Allah.
On the evening of July 1, Hamand, who had already greeted countless leaders, finally had time to make a video call with Lin Ju.
"Ha! My friend, it's been a long time since we last met!"
"Your Majesty, your Chinese is so good."
Hamand was slightly displeased: "We are friends, Lin, our friendship does not need these titles that represent power. Do you want to call me Hamand, or Lao Ha?"
Lin Ju was a little embarrassed. It was not that he felt flattered, but Hamand, who had been trained in the 507 Institute for so long, now spoke with a Beijing accent. Just listening to his voice, you couldn't tell that he was a foreigner.
"Haman, then I have to say sorry, I may have to go to space before you."
"Oh... yes, but believe me, I will be very fast."
Hamand was a little frustrated when he said this. He thought that once the old king left, no one could stop him from wanting to go to space.
As a result, when he took over the power at the beginning, he found that it was not easy to maintain the past foreign policy and stabilize the domestic situation. Many people wanted to take advantage of the power transition to make trouble.
Although Hamad's position is definitely stable with the support of a group of princes, he still needs to deal with so many games in person. It will probably take until 2017 to deal with all these troubles.
It is considered fast to stabilize power in half a year. It is a bit difficult to find time to go to space during this period.
There are also many conservatives who think that it is not easy to have a crown prince with good character and skills. If there is no one, where can they find one? If Hamad gets on the rocket, they will crash into the palace.
He envied Lin Ju for his decisiveness and doing whatever he wants without having to think too much.
But... is it true?
Lin Ju: Of course not.
Regarding the issue of Lin Ju going to space, in fact, whether inside or outside the company, everyone's first attitude is opposition.
For example, Guo Shen and Androv, what did these two bastards say to Lin Ju?
"Boss, if we are gone, we can just spend some money to rebuild B+. If you are gone, Xinyuan's huge foundation will be gone, and there will be no prince to inherit it."
"That's right, why don't you get married first, raise a successor, and when he is capable, you can take over."
Listen, what kind of bullshit is this?
To have a child first and raise him until he is capable of taking over, won't it take at least 20 years?
So Lin Ju would rather make a big statement on social media to build momentum for himself and prevent the rebels below from having other ideas, and at the same time, carry out the work of going to space as soon as possible.
The space shuttle carrying out this mission is Progress, but it has not been made public.
Progress, Unity, and Steadfast have now completed maintenance in Qiongzhou, and they are maintained separately. Except for the absolute insiders, no one knows which space shuttle it is before refueling, and it is highly confidential.
The general public may have to confirm it before launch to reduce the risk as much as possible.
The crew has also been confirmed, three people, two old and one new.
The space agency will send an experienced astronaut to serve as the commander, Xinyuan’s second-senior astronaut Hu Dong will serve as the deputy commander, and Lin Ju will be responsible for sitting.
Guo Shen and Androv, two senior executives, now personally lead an absolutely reliable team composed of all system engineers to carefully inspect the launched rockets, space shuttles and life support facilities.
It is difficult for outsiders to get close, and the superiors have also given special instructions. The launch site has been conducting a dragnet screening around it since the day Lin Ju issued the announcement, and the frequency has been increasing.
Although Lin Ju's technical level is average and he doesn't have any outstanding qualities, it's just this person who has broken through almost the upper limit of private enterprises.
One after another, unknown but ridiculously capable engineers are willing to join him and steal a large amount of research data from their old employers.
Domestic marginal scientific researchers and ordinary university professors have magically transformed themselves when they arrived at Xinyuan. They are smart and honest, just like a different person.
The superiors once deeply doubted whether this was the legendary leadership ability bonus, especially the latter. How could an ordinary mid-to-low-level engineer take on important tasks and make extraordinary achievements when he arrived at Xinyuan?
This must be a hoof quality problem!
