The major general added: "I believe some comrades have guessed that you are the first batch of candidates to implement this plan. Why is your training so much simpler? On the one hand, the cost of comprehensive training is too high; on the other hand, time does not allow for it.
One aspect is that building a lunar base requires a lot of human resources."
"The previous astronaut training strategy was elite training, which was time-consuming and costly. Is it appropriate to let a large number of astronauts go to the moon to dig holes and dig soil? Of course, if there is comprehensive and systematic training, at least some of you will
You can become a real astronaut, but time waits for no one, the country does not, the earth and mankind need you to be in position as soon as possible, so the training time can only be shortened. To put it in a sensational way, you will be the pioneers and heroes of mankind going into space."
The lights were turned on, and the major general slowly stood up: "Space is not a pure land. There are many crises in aerospace. In the future, there will be honors but also difficulties and sacrifices. I don't want to say anything grand, but comrades," his voice suddenly became extremely heavy, "the motherland needs
you."
There was silence in the audience, and every participant's mood was extremely complicated.
In the eyes of a true soldier, honor is above all else. The opportunity to join such a program is undoubtedly an opportunity that many people never dare to dream of.
But opportunities also mean dangers. Space is not the ground. A little negligence will lead to death without a burial place.
Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have emotions, joys and sorrows. They not only have to consider themselves, but also their families. How can everyone stay calm?
And many people heard another meaning from the major general's words: astronauts will get out of the elite siege and become civilians and popular. In the future, more and more ordinary people will join the astronaut team.
You must know that the lunar base is used to resist alien invasion, and its scale must not be small. Only a few hundred people cannot bear such a heavy burden.
Furthermore, the cost of aerospace engineering is so high that every detail must be considered. The space of each spacecraft must be carefully calculated.
How many resources are needed to maintain the operation of such a large base? If all resources are transported from the earth, human beings will be dragged to the brink of extinction by the moon project before the aliens attack. Therefore, the moon base cannot be maintained entirely by blood transfusions from the earth. It must be given
The lunar base has hematopoietic capabilities, whether it is food supplies or military weapons.
Ye Han had only studied astronomy for a few days. He was not an expert in space, let alone a scholar of the moon. He could not guess what the specific plan was. In short, self-sufficiency and even feeding back the earth was the inevitable result.
If you think about it deeply, the lunar base not only has important military significance, but also has important political significance!
The lunar environment is not suitable for human survival, and it is also not suitable for insects. No matter how big the base is, humans must build it brick by brick. There is absolutely no living space for giant insects.
As long as the lunar base is successfully constructed, it will become a truly safe place and will never be threatened by any kind of giant insect!
This is of great significance. Imagine moving the capital of a country to the moon. What would happen? What if some of the citizens were moved to the moon?
It is true that today's technology cannot achieve large-scale space immigration at all, and everything has to be started from scratch, but this is a good start after all. There is hope in the beginning, even if only a part of the people are moved up.
Maybe they, the pioneers, might have the opportunity to obtain the qualifications for their relatives to immigrate to the moon.
Thinking of this, Ye Han's heart was burning.
The meeting was over, but everything seemed like it had just begun. Ye Han, who had been unable to find his direction for a long time, suddenly became full of confidence in the future.
He wanted to share his happiness with Bai Xiaoting, but currently all the information was confidential. Even students could only discuss development plans in confidential places. Any student who leaked secrets would be severely punished by the military.
From this day on, Ye Han and other students began to pay attention to aerospace news. Judging from various clues, the country was indeed actively preparing for a development plan. Even the military's resources were insufficient because the development plan took up too many resources.
.
The training team has not been disbanded, and the trainees are continuing to learn their respective professional knowledge. When will they board the spacecraft, and when will the training end?
Studying was no longer the focus of his daily life. Ye Han finally had time to meet Bai Xiaoting, talk about the pain of missing each other, and also take some time to care about the situation.
Half a year is not a long time, but a short time. The military has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the north during this time, and the insect swarms moving south have also put great pressure on the military.
At the end of August, the temperature in the north begins to drop, and the insects living in the Siberian forests are driven away from their homes by the cold and move southward from the east, west and central directions at the same time.
Although the military was fully prepared in advance, the huge insect swarm still made the military embarrassed. Part of the defense line had to retreat under the pressure of the insect swarm, even to the point where conventional weapons could not stop the insect swarm. The central and western lines
Chemical weapons were used to keep the insect swarm out of the defense line.
Not only do wolves attack humans, but giant scorpions, which are the natural enemies of wolves, also attack humans from time to time. Every time a giant scorpion appears near the defense line, the military has to use artillery to control the situation.
Although the insect swarms on the eastern front were blocked by giant ants, the number of wolf worms was so great that the ant colonies on the eastern front suffered heavy losses. If the military had not taken timely action to attack the insect swarms, the ant-occupied areas would have been destroyed by the wolf worms.
.
In order to deal with the insect swarms, the military and civilians have also thought of many extraordinary methods.
For example, the center line took advantage of having a nuclear power plant and built a coil defense network of more than 100 kilometers long, which played a great role in resisting the insect swarm.
The Western Front was inspired by the coil defense line and built several coil tanks. To put it bluntly, they installed a set of Tesla coils on the tank, installed a set of power generation equipment in the car, and drove it to the battlefield with enough fuel.
This thing rushes into the swarm of insects, and the sound and light generated by the discharge act like a magnet to attract the wolves. Either the wolves will die or the tank will collapse, otherwise the confrontation between the two sides will not stop at all.
In order to stop the insect swarm, the Eastern Front placed a batch of highly radioactive metals on the defense line. Any giant insect that came close to the defense line would be attacked by extremely strong rays, and even if it broke through the defense line, it would not survive for a few days.
Although the method is good, it is a sharp sword that can hurt the enemy and yourself. If you are not careful, it will cause heavy casualties to your own side, and it will also cause serious damage to the environment. If it were not for the menacing insect swarm, the military would not use it.
This method deters the enemy.
All in all, although a considerable price was paid, the northern defense line was always firmly in the hands of the military, and the insect swarm was never allowed to cross the line from beginning to end.
