[Chapter 534: Overtaking on a Curve]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to him. Musk stared at the screen and said word by word: "I think it can not only allow time lag, but also give us enough preparation time, but also save a large amount of investment funds!"

"What does it mean?" Charles looked at the other person in confusion.

Elon Musk got up from his seat instantly, without even looking at Charles, and quickly came to the home screen. Everyone silently watched Musk's every move. The latter glanced at everyone, then looked at the home screen and said, "Three and a half months later, the Mars orbit will arrive here, which is the so-called golden launch cycle, right!"

Musk looked back at everyone and saw everyone nodding silently. He looked back at the screen, pointing to three earth-like planets, and said: "This is Mars, this is Earth, this is Venus, the orbits of the three planets. Mars will start to advance along the orbit from the shortest distance and gradually move away from the earth on the 260th Earth Day."

"What if we choose to chase Mars from the orbit inside the Earth?" Musk said more and more smoothly, pointing to the three planets in the orbit of the star map. "Guys, this year! It is the golden launch period in the golden launch period. Everyone sees the orbital division map between the Earth, Venus and Mars..."

The scientist looked at the orbits of the three planets in the star map, and Musk's remarks instantly made his eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly became clear and excited, "Mr. Elon, do you mean...yes..."

"That's right!" Musk nodded slowly, then looked back at the star map and said: "We can not only get more preparation time when Mars goes away, transport more materials to outer space for assembly, including outpost bases, but also complete catching up with the target Mars and completing curves from the inner ring of the Earth's orbit."

"Look, our spacecraft completes assembly and supply at the earth's orbit mooring port, and then accelerates away from the earth and enters the near-Earth moon orbit, and uses the moon's gravity to obtain the first additional acceleration. Although there is not much, it can be used to save the first fuel, and then change orbit and fly to the inner ring orbit of the earth..." Musk said while pointing at the star map towards Venus, and said:

"At that time, our spacecraft will start to go straight to Venus' orbit, and get a second additional free acceleration through Venus' gravity. The acceleration obtained from Venus' gravity is quite large. The acceleration provided by Venus' gravity can save a lot of fuel. After obtaining acceleration from Venus, our aircraft will leave Venus' orbit and go straight to Mars ahead, and overtake through the inner ring curve to complete the pursuit of Mars that is moving away!"

After saying that, Musk looked back at everyone.

"Is this OK?" Charles looked at the scientist and asked as everyone was silent.

"It is feasible. I think the suggestion made by Mr. Musk is as feasible as 80%. Venus is currently located between Earth and Mars, and it is also a planet in the orbit of the inner ring of the Earth and the second planet of the solar system. Mars is the fourth orbit, which is absolutely feasible! This is the golden position in the golden position." The scientist said excitedly, "No, no, I need to verify the new channel proposed by Mr. Musk immediately. I have to leave, time is precious!"

Charles Bor, who put his hands on his hips, watched the scientist leave excitedly and immediately said to his assistant: "Empty the quantum computer, all the use and application lag behind. No one has the right to use it until the new channel is verified, do you understand?"

Elon Musk said with a smile: "Once this channel is verified to be feasible, it is a win-win situation. The outpost base is feasible, and the free two gravitational accelerations will complete the Mars landing."

"At last there is great news!" Charles showed a rare smile from the bottom of his heart.

A week later, the new channel was calculated several times in a quantum computer produced by DWave, which was confirmed to be completely feasible. The physical divisions of the three celestial bodies of Earth, Venus and Mars allowed Nasa to achieve the possibility of overtaking from the orbit of the inner ring of the earth. It can be said to be a real golden segment. This golden cycle of launching is rare in a century. This time it happened to be hit, and the plan could not keep up with the changes, but that's the case.

The new channel was immediately established, all plans were overturned and re-formulated, and everyone in the entire Nasa organization became busy. At the same time, they did not forget to announce the news about the new channel. After the new plan was disclosed, the outside world knew that this time Nasa was also ambitious and wanted to play a big game.

Both sides are ambitious, and these are things that the global media like. This space competition has evolved more and more passionately with time. Both sides have put in full force. Although neither side has made any official response, both sides are using their practical actions to prove to the outside world. In the field of space exploration, in the future, who is the real global boss?

Recently, the whole world can feel the passion of this space race. Other countries and institutions can only sigh at the competition between CNSA and Nasa, and the competition between CMSX and Spaex. Compared with the two heavyweight "players", other aerospace agencies or space exploration technology companies can only serve as foils for comparison. The purpose of existence seems to be more to reflect the strength of these two "super players".

2027 is undoubtedly the most exciting year for all aerospace practitioners in the world. The competition between the two super players has caused a surging craze in this field. This year, it is called the new era of the post-US-Soviet space competition by countless astronomical institutions or aerospace practitioners.

The global space exploration field is being crazy and exciting with the entry of two "super players", and is constantly developing. Even the US-Soviet space battle in the last century seems to be in a short position.

In promoting the development of space exploration for all mankind, the competition between these two "super players" will inevitably be recorded in history. No matter who wins or loses, they have indelible achievements in promoting the human aerospace industry.

Having said that, no one hopes to be defined as the loser in later documentaries. Especially in the United States, which has always regarded as the world's leader in this field, this challenge is even more unacceptable.

In the United States, there are two famous rocket launch sites, one is the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida; the other is the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on the west coast. The two most famous rocket launch sites in the United States ushered in the busiest stage of use since the US-Soviet space arms race.

At Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, the Tube is broadcasting live to the world, and a large number of Americans have also gathered on the scene, because today, Nasa will send a core cabin weighing 158 tons to the Earth's low-Earth orbit.

The Nasa's aircraft to Mars has been officially named "Noah" and has been announced, and this core compartment is the core component of "Noah". On the launch site, a super rocket like a skyscraper stands around the launch tower, which is a famous American SLS rocket.
