Chapter 573: ：The pattern of the era of spaceflight]

...
This artificial celestial body dominates the network signal coverage of the virtual world in the three regions of the European continent, the African continent, and the Atlantic Ocean. All virtual world information generated in these three regions must be temporarily processed on the Tianqing II. Information feedback, the information in these regions must be connected to other regions such as the Americas, and the information transfer and link must be completed through the "Tianqing II", and the "Tianqing System" is responsible for the core of the virtual world of the Matrix Technology headquarters.
The "Mars Express" carrying astronauts, researchers, or the armed defense tactical team of outpost bases from China and the United States left the earth, officially starting the journey to Mars.
"Mars Express" has disappeared from people's sight, but it has caused a huge response all over the world.
Questioners on whether Matrix Technology has achieved and realized controllable nuclear fusion energy chose to be silent at this moment. Thousands of lasers are illuminated by hundreds of thousands of invisible high-energy beams, except for nuclear fusion energy reactors that can generate nearly endless energy. Besides, ｀no｀wrong｀novel｀w.uld.om can support such high-energy output?
Europe was also silent. At the moment this scene was confirmed, a solemn look and a sense of powerlessness emerged spontaneously, Japan was also silent, and countless countries that did not want to step down in the era of space flight were silent, "Mars Express As soon as the number "Jechen is riding, its unparalleled speed seems to reflect the development of that country in the era of spaceflight."
Perhaps it was because she had missed the lessons of the great nautical era 500 years ago, which made her feel very upset. The painful lessons made her swear to regain everything she had lost in this era.
The magnificent era of spaceflight has kicked off, and currently only two players can truly start a new competition in that endless universe.
The second-echelon space countries such as Europe, Russia, and Japan are awakening at this moment like a dream, represented by the speed of the "Mars Express", the volume of the "Tiangong Ring Star Harbor", and the "Noah System" that conquered Mars. The ambition of this series of shocks finally told the second echelon a cruel fact that the chance of advanced space first echelon is slim.
If you want to become the third player to participate in this brand new competition in the era of spaceflight, you will never be able to catch up with the two countries that are already in the forefront. The space competition is not just a powerful country. Games are games that can only be played by superpowers.
As of 2027, there are only two superpowers with global GDP exceeding the 10 trillion U.S. dollar mark, and both have exceeded the 30 trillion U.S. dollar economic volume. They want to gain a seat in the era of large aerospace. Not to mention other things. Only in terms of economic strength, economies with a GDP of no more than 10 trillion U.S. dollars are simply unable to participate. Russia is the best example.
The total volume of the world’s two largest super-economies exceeds 50% of the global GPD in all respects, and Japan’s GDP of the third largest economy in 2027 is only US$7.4 trillion. If the second-tier countries complete the alliance in space exploration, if only measured by economic volume, their 41% of global GDP will indeed exceed that of China and the United States alone.
However, space exploration is not about a certain aspect, but a comprehensive national strength. Economic size is not one of the important indicators to measure. However, if you want to achieve the second-tier alliance, this step is very difficult, and its internal interests are complicated. Entanglement and distribution can make this second-tier space alliance difficult.
Before the first echelon has a clear victory or defeat, as long as the second echelon dares to appear in a joint situation, it is bound to usher in a heavy bombardment with two iron fists. The combination of the second echelon forces the first echelon to unite and the second echelon. The only major economic advantage has to be stretched by more than 10% by the first echelon, and the second echelon presents all-round weakness.
The reason is simple. A strong third-party space alliance is not in the interests of the United States or the interests of the Republic. A biscuit can be divided evenly into two pieces and one size cut can get more, and divided into three pieces, you get less, not to mention the effort to cut one more.
In unavoidable circumstances, Mars, two flags will suffice, and neither side will allow a third party to force a kick.
There are no fools in this world. In this form, any second-tier space power in Europe and Russia knows this truth well. Forcibly intervening to turn the chessboard game into a "three-nation" confrontation will only die miserably in the end, the last hope Will be deprived.
Under the current situation, there will never be a "three-nation game" phenomenon in the space competition in the great aerospace era, let alone the phenomenon of the "Warring States" in which great powers have risen and declined successively in the great nautical era. This era will only be a "board game". In the end, either there is no loser or there is only one winner who takes all.
The two super players have never thought about bringing a third party together to deal with their competitors. The so-called asking God is easy and difficult~EbookFREE.me~ Even if you defeat your competitors in this way, your allies will inevitably develop Growing up, allies will eventually become new opponents.
If this is the case, either simply separate the results from the two, and finally get all of them as the only winners, or keep the existing balance and no losers.
If the second echelon wants to join its competition, every step must be on thin ice. Facing the tacit understanding of the two super players, they can only wait and see helplessly, and they can only become spectators.
One step behind, one step behind, missed the beginning of the era of spaceflight, the cost is painful, the protagonist can not be just want to be.
This is the new pattern of the space age, the game of the space chessboard.
Three months later, the "Mars Express" arrived in the orbit of Mars as scheduled. Martian adventurers ushered in the beginning of 2029 in a place far away from their hometown. Christmas and Spring Festival were celebrated on the spacecraft. The American accident caused the "Gemini Project" to be extended by half a year and forced the Chinese to postpone their landing on Mars for half a year.
The Americans have made historic achievements and the title of the first man on Mars, but also paid a heavy price. CMSX also secretly feels fortunate that, otherwise, landing on Mars will not be able to keep facing the same American experience.
After tossing for more than half a year, finally landing on Mars, Ren Hong completed the latest link with "Incarnation", this time being his 152nd connection.
Because today, a forward team will land on Pezos Heights to explore the heavily damaged outpost base and search for the unidentified Skovo Alderland, although there is little hope of survival.
