Chapter 608 (1/2)

Kagoshima space launch center.

It is affiliated to the Space Science Research Institute of the island countries and the launch site of the deep space rocket of the island countries. It has been used for decades and still carries out the launch plan every year.

Edo City calmly looks at the launch tower of Miao launch site, with lofty sentiments and ambitions.

In a small country, there are two space launch sites. As can be seen from these small points, their national ambitions have never been small.

They are located in an island country with frequent disasters and scarce resources. Every year, they are warned to have crisis awareness, so they have been looking for new territories.

So they have an ambition that is totally different from their own size.

For them, the arrival of a new era is another opportunity.

Huaxia has successfully landed on the moon and retrieved Yueyan, which will take the lead in the coming changes.

The oil resources on earth are not their share, but they are different on the moon. As long as they have technological development, there is an inexhaustible supply of helium-3, which is an inexhaustible wealth and a place for them to fulfill their imperial ambitions.

China has the Chang'e plan, the United States has the Hercules plan, Europe has the dawn plan, Russia has the Yuri plan, their island countries also have the ”moon reading plan”.

In the age of great navigation, the British island country will become the sun empire that rules the world. If they succeed, even if the next sun empire does not belong to them, it will definitely become one of the world powers.

Over the years, they have been pressed too hard by the United States. Once the change comes, it means chaos. It's also their chance to be equal to the world powers.

”Director Edo, the base called to say that the rocket manufacturing is nearing the end, and it will be completed in about a month.” A female assistant came and interrupted the thoughts of Edo city.

”Well, I see.”

Waiting for the female assistant to leave, Edo city continues to look at the launch tower dazed.

A month, not long, not short.

No one is sure. Maybe this is where their empire set sail.

……

South America, the North Atlantic coast, Guyana, is the location of the European Space Launch Center.

Ariane's second launch site is busy.

As director of the European Space Agency, young Werner was also on the scene, watching the progress of preparations for the site.

Soon, the rocket will be delivered for assembly. This time, their goal is very clear, that is to start the long stranded ”dawn plan”.

Dawn plan is a European lunar landing plan, which has many similarities with the new space plan ”Hercules plan” of the United States. The main contents of the plan include:

a series of unmanned lunar exploration, including lunar orbit exploration, lunar soft landing and lunar rover exploration.

To realize manned landing on the moon and establish a lunar base.

Take the moon base as the springboard for manned Mars exploration.

The plan is to take lunar exploration as a technical exercise, establish a lunar base, and then, based on the development of lunar resources, take the moon as a springboard to implement manned landing on Mars.

The plan was put forward as early as 2004, but it has been delayed by various excuses.

After the completion of their mission, there has been no new lunar probe or lunar lander launched.

During this period, China successfully surpassed them and launched Chang'e lander, becoming the third country to land on the moon.

In recent years, the development of China has become more terrifying.

First, it landed on the back of the moon, and then recently, the March ant group successfully entered space, and the space boom appeared, so all countries around the world had to pay attention to this matter.

The countries in dispute in Europe also have to fuse different opinions and unite at this moment. They have finally made new progress in their long shelved dawn plan.
