When NASA Space Administration discusses and analyzes the propulsion system used by the Xinghai, on the other side, Beijing.

In a not-to-tall building on Chang'an Street, after the successful entry into the track of Xinghai, a top-level small meeting was held in a not-so-large conference room.

In the conference room with a low-key and simple decoration style, a silver-white curtain is clearly placed on the Star Sea, which has already boarded low-Earth orbit and sailed in outer space.

In the conference room, people arrived quickly one after another.

When Yuan Zhouli, the leader of science and technology, arrived, he happened to run into Liang Hongyi, the leader of industry and information.

The old man, whose hair had made a major change in the development of the aerospace field, smiled and greeted his colleague in front of him. The two nodded to each other and entered the conference room side by side.

Although it was a temporary notice, those who are qualified to attend today's meeting naturally know what was organized because of something, or what was happening.

After quickly entering the venue, Yuan Zhouli sat in his seat and briefly flipped through the meeting report on the table.

The targeted title made his pupils shrink slightly, and his eyes were filled with some thoughts.

The meeting was chaired by the boss of each sect present. After the staff arrived, there was no need to wait for a long time.

The old man sitting in the first seat said a few brief words and announced the beginning of the meeting.

The first thing to start was not the speeches of leaders from various corpses. On the silver screen opposite the conference table, the Star Sea was launched from the space center, then tested in the atmosphere, climbing the gravity well, and breaking through low-Earth orbit and entering outer space quickly played.

The video in less than a minute was not long, but it completely recorded the launch of Xinghai.

It was not until the aerospace video was completed that the old man re-spoken: "Everyone, the successful launch of Xinghai is not only a major breakthrough in the aerospace field. It is a rare opportunity and development for the country."

"Last year, due to the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology, we discussed and decided on the development route of the aerospace mothership. For the detailed report, Comrade Liang Hongyi from Industry and Information Industry will be asked to report it."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hongyi nodded, stood up quickly, and spoke calmly: "The development route of the aerospace mothership determined based on the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology is recorded in pages 7-12 of the report document in front of you, so I will not elaborate on it here."

He paused slightly, and when everyone at the conference table began to flip through the report documents, he continued:

"The development of aerospace motherships has been discussed by many institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Science and Technology, Industrial Information, and Engineering, and confirmed that they have relevant feasibility in terms of theory, technology, engineering, etc.."

"At present, relevant technologies and research and development are underway. It is initially predicted that the detailed drawing design of the aerospace mothership will be completed by 2025 and the overall design will be completed around 2030..."

The brief report was completed quickly. After the Industry and Information Industry completed its own report, the old man nodded and said, "After the Xinghai successfully completed the launch, we already owned a nominal aerospace fighter jet that can cruise in the atmosphere and outside the space."

"Based on this, there are repetitive discussions on the development route of the 'Aerospace Mothership' to determine whether the relevant routes are still selected."

At the meeting, the old man's speech stunned everyone present for a moment.

In just over a year, we have conducted repetitive route discussion and decision on a major project that has been decided, which can be said to be involved in the national fortune level, and may even choose to reject this project...

To be honest, this kind of thing has not been a few times since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But it has to be said that the relevant discussions are indeed necessary.

After all, with the successful launch of Xinghai and the maturity of electric propulsion technology, the aerospace fighter has been able to cruise freely within and outside the atmosphere.

Its deterrence is no smaller than a space mothership cruised in outer space.

The former has already accumulated a lot of experience and technology. Even if it is modified according to the model of the Xinghai Space Shuttle, the feasibility of the aerospace fighter can continue to develop smoothly.

The latter, an aerospace mothership with a diameter of more than 300 meters, has already had enough foundation to complete it according to the reports of industry and information. However, the time and investment required is unimaginable.

Sitting in the chief, the old man was also thinking.

In fact, he is not the one who has come to this point today and has proposed to re-discuss the development route of the aerospace mothership.

However, whether it is worthwhile to build such a huge amount of manpower, material resources and funds when aerospace planes can replace the aerospace mothership to cruise in the atmosphere and outer space is indeed a debatable task.

Not only investment, but also related international influences are also things that need to be considered.

A spacecraft that is so large that it is comparable to an aircraft carrier, it is cruising in outer space with a semi-permanent nature in low-Earth orbit. Is this a bit too much for international pressure?

In the conference room, the discussion paused for a moment.

After everyone thought quickly for a while, a participant from other departments stood up and spoke in cautious words:

"I think it is necessary to consider carefully about the development of the aerospace mothership route."

"At present, the international situation is not optimistic for us. A spacecraft with a size of more than 300 meters and comparable to an aircraft carrier, not considering its investment for the time being. Just facing the pressure brought by the international situation is huge."

"Now we have a space shuttle that can freely travel between the atmosphere and outer space. Then we develop a space mothership, which is likely to cause major changes in the international situation."

Sitting opposite the speaker, Yang Hansui from the Air Force Equipment Office stood up and stood up and spoke, "I think the opposite is true."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "The maturity of the Xinghai space shuttle technology can more effectively drive our development and deployment in the aerospace field. The aerospace mothership is an important force for national defense strategic deterrence. Just like nuclear weapons, we can not use it, but we cannot do it."

"Today, when other countries are developing aerospace weapons and aerospace equipment, it is the luckiest thing for us to be at the forefront."

"I believe that with the support of space shuttle technology, the difficulty of building aerospace motherships will be reduced a lot, and we can complete the construction of aerospace motherships as quickly as possible."

Sitting beside Yang Han, Qin Anguo, the former head of science and technology, stood up and said, "I agree with continuing to complete the construction of the aerospace mothership."

"First of all, it can play an important role in the field of national defense. It is two different things to have no sword in your hand and not have one. Even if we do not provoke conflicts on our own, we should pay attention to the development of aerospace motherships today as we are developing rapidly in the aerospace field!"

After a pause, he continued: "Secondly, in today's competition in the aerospace field, an aerospace mothership is enough to lead us to victory."

"In the aerospace field that is increasingly developing and gradually becoming the mainstream in the future, even if it is not necessary to use military purposes, the role of the aerospace mothership should not be underestimated."

"In the future, whether it is the construction of the lunar base, the mining of related Helium 3 resources, or even the development of Mars, the aerospace mothership can undoubtedly play an important role."

In the conference room, the discussions were quite intense.

The old man sitting at the top of the conference table listened to many opinions and exchanges and gently knocked on the table, interrupting everyone's argument, and slowly spoke.

"I agree with President Qin Shi's point of view."

"Putting aside the deterrent power in the defense field, aerospace motherships are equally important in the subsequent competition in the space field."

"Whether it is the construction of the lunar base or the development of Mars resources, we need to have stronger space power to carry out the process."

"As for international influence and pressure, it is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored. But we can also guide the first aerospace mothership, I think it can be built into a dedicated ship in the aerospace field, rather than a ship in the military field."

"On the one hand, this can greatly alleviate international pressure and the sensitivity of other countries. On the other hand, first building ships in the aerospace field can accumulate experience for subsequent real aerospace motherships."

"In addition, ships in the civil aerospace field can also shift the attention of other countries to competition in the aerospace field. To a certain extent, we can restrain our competitors."

"In addition, a series of aerospace activities, including manned space flight and moon landing projects, are also of great value in themselves, and are worth investing money and human resources to build a 'pilot' aerospace mothership."

The old man slowly expressed his thoughts.

This is not all his idea, but also integrates all the key points that everyone present has just discussed at the meeting.

Even some of the thoughts and ideas of the man far away in Jinling are also in his compilation and summary.

After the controlled nuclear fusion technology was completed, he had listened to some suggestions and ideas from the young and magnificent young man about the future development direction and technological layout.

And among those thoughts, there was an idea that even he was shocked, no, it should be shocking.

In that grand concept, the second and third generations and miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion are just part of it. Even the development of manned spacecraft, moon landing, fire landing, lunar bases, Mars colonies and other undertakings are all included.

He still remembers that the young man once said:

Even if controlled nuclear fusion liberates energy, the resources and land on the earth are still limited. Human beings cannot stop developing, so in order to obtain more resources and land, their eyes will sooner or later look at the starry sky above their heads.

Only there are endless resources and possibilities.

It is precisely because of this that he strongly supported the development of the aerospace field in his subsequent layout.

The success of the Xinghai space shuttle also proves the other party's views and means.

After the controlled nuclear fusion technology solved the problem of earth's energy restrictions, humans' eyes have already looked up and started to look up at space.

As the moon closest to the earth and Mars in the solar system, which is most suitable for human transformation and residence, it is undoubtedly a bridgehead for human civilization to step into space and into the universe.

Whoever can gain a foothold on these two planets and whoever can master them will have a future.

On the other side, the Atlantic coast.

At the headquarters of NASA's SA, Washington state, a large number of media reporters gather here.

After the successful launch of the Xinghai Institute, the first to notice the news was, in addition to space agencies like NASA, they were naturally major media with a sensitive sense of smell.

After CBS media reported the Xinghai and Electric Propulsion messages, these media with keen sense of smell arranged for reporters to go to NASA for interviews.

In order to obtain first-hand information, some media even arranged personnel to rush to the NASA headquarters building in the middle of the night after obtaining the successful launch of Xinghai.

Faced with the siege of so many media reporters, NASA cannot and cannot turn a blind eye. After all, with the fermentation of time, the outside world will only get higher and higher.

Last night, the Xinghai space shuttle reported by major media had caused many people who stayed up late to suffer from insomnia, and this matter was discussed on almost all major social websites and forums.

As time fermented, after waiting for dawn to learn the news, the entire US Internet was in full swing.

Related news is being discussed on social websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., and countless people are shocked and unbelievable. There are also many people wailing and lamenting.

If it is understandable that the failure in the field of controlled nuclear fusion is not very good, the United States' development in this field is not very leading. The failure in the field of aerospace is something that the American people cannot accept no matter what.

As a space power, its glory has been engraved in the bones of the Americans since the end of the competition in the last century.

And today, the country across the Pacific Ocean has broken this unattainable glory.

Especially when I heard that the propulsion system used by the space shuttle was electric propulsion, countless people were shocked and unbelievable.

What they can't do in the United States, but the country on the other side actually did it?

Especially after seeing the images circulated by satellites, everyone fell silent when facing the space shuttle sailing in the sky, swaying with red and purple tail flames.

Faced with this situation, NASA, as the center of the US aerospace field, cannot stand up and respond.

After arriving at work hours, media reporters surrounded outside the headquarters building were invited into the reception hall.
