Chapter 515 Is this Xu You really so amazing?
In the moon landing project, Sam and I are competitors, and both hope to be the first to carry out various development work on the lunar surface.
Naturally, Xu You had already considered this matter a long time ago.
"I've thought about the problem you mentioned. So my suggestion is to only provide key parts without providing any technology. In this way, if they want to launch a rocket, they will need the parts we provide. And I will make arrangements for this matter after our moon landing plan is successful."
Xu You’s meaning was very clear. Sam wanted to rely on our help to complete the moon landing, but the cost was to become technologically dependent on us.
"I think what Professor Xu said makes sense. It's not that the current SAM is incapable of landing on the moon. They successfully landed on the moon decades ago. It's just that the space launch system they redeveloped had some problems due to technical reasons, which led to the repeated postponement of the moon landing. Even without the help of Professor Xu, they will solve these problems sooner or later."
If that doesn't work, they can pay a little more and simply copy the technology from last century, and they will be able to complete the moon landing again.
Another key point that made Xu You make this choice was to let Sam get some benefits first so that they would be willing to share more technical information with him.
With the skill of "information brain supplementation", Xu You is confident that he can learn all of Sam's advanced technologies through limited information.
By that time, the world's technological landscape will be completely overturned.
Due to time constraints, everyone did not discuss too much at the meeting. After determining a general direction, the meeting ended.
In the end, everyone agreed that as long as the conditions were right, they could consider cooperating with SAM Space Agency.
Such strong cooperation is definitely a good thing both for the country and for all mankind.
Blindly engaging in confrontation will only consume both sides.
After confirming the direction, Xu You immediately asked the staff to help contact Commander Johnson.
"Professor Xu You, why did you reply to me so quickly?"
Johnson was a little surprised at Xu You's response speed. After all, on previous occasions, Xu You took at least a few days to respond.
"Yes, Commander Johnson, I said that as soon as I can confirm it, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Now I can tell you that I can help you solve the problem of the fuel leak in the Space Launch System."
After hearing Xu You's words, Johnson was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
"Professor Xu You, are you sure you are serious?"
"Of course. I'm a straightforward person. You may not hear all the truth from me, but I will never tell you a lie. If I'm not mistaken, in the previous test, the liquid hydrogen leakage of the space launch system was about 7%, right?"
When Johnson heard the number "seven percent", he was shocked again.
Because this number is almost identical to the number counted by SAM Space Agency.
At this time, Johnson even suspected that Xu You had secretly hacked into the internal system of Sam Space Agency to obtain such precise data.
"Commander Johnson, I know that even if what I said is completely correct, you will not give me a direct answer. But I have full confidence in my judgment. I promise to help you solve this problem, but it would be best if you could provide more detailed information, especially information about the Apollo program in the last century. This will increase my hope of solving this problem."
After a few seconds of silence, Johnson replied, "I understand, Professor Xu You. I will pass on your proposal to my superiors."
"If you have any news, please tell me as soon as possible, because it takes time to solve the problem. I don't want you to keep postponing the launch date of the rocket when we have already had several waves of astronauts landed on the moon."
After finishing the conversation with Johnson, Xu You felt relaxed and happy.
Xu You had never thought that every conversation with Johnson could have such a good relaxing effect.
"We just asked them to provide some technical information. I'm afraid it won't be so smooth this time. Let's ignore that for now and focus on preparing our own moon landing plan."
…
SAM Space Agency.
Johnson, who had just finished a conversation with Xu You, truthfully reported to his superiors the request made by Xu You.
"What? Xu You actually wants us to give him more information? Including some information about the Apollo program? Is he crazy?"
"Director Williams, with the information we provided earlier, it is indeed difficult for Professor Xu You to solve the problem. However, with just this information, Professor Xu You accurately estimated that the leakage rate of liquid hydrogen in our rocket fuel chamber is about 7%."
"Is this Xu You... really so amazing?"
"Yes. If we are unable to resolve the problem of liquid hydrogen fuel leakage, turning to Professor Xu You may be our only hope."
This problem may not seem complicated, but it is actually very difficult to solve.
If we continue to launch rockets at the risk of our lives, it is likely to cause another accident.
Simply postponing the rocket launch date will only make SAM Space Agency ridiculed by the whole world.
"The information on the Apollo program is the most valuable asset of our Sam Space Agency. Even if I am willing to give it out, it is not something I can decide on my own. Let's first see the progress of their moon landing project and then make a decision."
"But, Director Williams, this project can't be delayed any longer. With our current research progress, it will be difficult to solve this problem in the near future. By then, I'm afraid..."
"I understand. I will submit this application first. Before that, let's try to solve this problem by ourselves and see what new response Xu You will give."
"Okay, I understand."
…
Before we knew it, the launch date of Starry Sky 1 finally arrived.
Because of SAM's repeated delays, Rabbit became the first country in the 21st century to launch a manned spacecraft to the moon.
This rocket launch attracted the attention of billions of people around the world.
Before the rocket launched, Xu You specially found the three astronauts again and gave them some precautions.
"After landing on the lunar surface, if any problems arise, our other lunar orbiter will immediately land on the moon to provide you with assistance."
