Chapter 263: Humans Need to Live on Mars

Looking at Musk's handsome face, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

Elon Musk.

When it comes to this person, everything you know about him can think of a series of keywords.

Tesla, SpaceX, Falcon 9, real-life Iron Man, and...... Mars colonization!

In major public occasions, Musk has announced his crazy plan more than once - to send humans to Mars in 2024! and establish colonies, so that human civilization can live on Mars completely.

For this "delusion", some people support and some praise, but more than that, they are still ridiculed and dismissive.

But Chen Yu, since he knew about Musk's deeds, he has a belief in this "delusion".

A year ago, in order to argue with Li Liang, he also deliberately analyzed the development schedule of SpaceX for his own BB theoretical support.

This is also one of the few active learning experiences that Chen Yu has ever had.

In 2002, Musk founded SpaceX, announcing to the world that he would design, manufacture and launch advanced rockets and spacecraft, comprehensively changing existing space technology and allowing human beings to live on other planets.

What I got was naturally unanimous ridicule from the official to the non-governmental.

In 2005, SpaceX had 150 employees. But it is still in the "preparation" stage, and nothing has been launched, not even a Sky Monkey.

This time, some people lacked even the interest in ridicule, and only contempt.

It looks like the first car in the 18th century that traveled at 4 km/h......

And then, it seems that the six-year-old SpaceX company has finally risen to level six, acquired R skills, and began to develop at a terrifying pace!

In 2008, the Falcon 1 rocket was successfully launched!

Become the first private company in human history to successfully launch a liquid rocket!

In 09, the satellite was successfully put into orbit.

In 10 years, the Dragon cargo ship entered low orbit and was successfully recovered.

In 11 years, the company's market capitalization exceeded $1 billion.

In 13 years, under the criticism of the civil and launch alliances, the medium-orbit SES-8 satellite was successfully launched.

In 15 years, the launch of the high-orbit satellite was completed, and the Falcon 9 rocket was successfully recovered!

This is also the first time in human history that a used rocket has been brought back to Earth intact. The world was in an uproar.

In 18 years, a Tesla sports car was put into orbit between Mars and Jupiter.

In 19 years, it has become the provider of launch vehicles with the strongest launch capacity and the lowest cost on the earth, and has almost snatched the satellite launch contracts of all space powers, including Jianguo, Huaxia, Mao, and Japan......

Until now, the design and construction of the Great Falcon rocket (BFR) has begun, and it is expected that two cargo spacecraft will be sent to Mars in 2022.

It is expected that in 24 years, a fleet of manned spacecraft will be launched and a large-scale landing on Mars......

Although Musk's vision of 2024 is a bit exaggerated in Chen Yu's eyes, he has always been sure that Musk will be able to do all this in his lifetime.

And now, Chen Yu is ready to advance this time by three years, so that human beings can permanently settle on Mars and achieve planetary colonization!

It is also the dream of countless astronomy enthusiasts around the world!

At this point, Chen Yu glanced at Musk up and down, and got straight to the point: "Man, I said it before, are you interested in cooperation?"

"What cooperation?" Musk is an extremely intelligent person, and from Chen Yu's behavior and tone, he vaguely guessed the truth, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Martian colonization. Chen Yu smiled.

Musk suffered a cardiac arrest, and his eyes almost turned into copper bells.

When the other people in the capsule heard this, they also looked at Chen Yu with shocked eyes.

Especially the president of the Huaxia Aerospace Academy and Engineer Mao Guo, their normal standing posture has been deformed.

"Fire... Martian colonization?"

Clenching his fists, Musk tried to calm down and said seriously: "The kind of large colonies?"

"Of course. Chen Yu nodded: "Your kind of colony of a few people, a dozen people, is too small and small." I have water-jet launchers and intra-star portals, so naturally I have to build a big one. How? Are you interested in such a cooperation?"

"Yes!"

Musk did not hesitate: "Very interested. ”

"Good. The cooperation will be decided verbally, and I will take a moment to invite you to the floating castle in detail, and we will discuss it in detail. Now let's talk briefly about the establishment of the colony into the city. ”

You say. Musk bent down slightly, his posture very low.

"First of all, I'll use a portal to connect to the orbit of Mars and drop a few of your reconnaissance satellites directly to find water sources and suitable anchors. Chen Yu had a clear idea and talked eloquently: "After finding the landing site, a large number of goods, equipment and operators will be transported, and a series of buildings such as living cabins, training cabins, scientific research cabins, collection points, propellant factories, and solar fire nuclear fission power generation modules will be established. ”

"You... How long will your portal be used for us?" Musk asked.

"Only twice. Chen Yu stretched out two fingers: "One is for you to release satellites, and one is for you to transport supplies." That's enough, I can't be a babysitter. The Earth's orbit is synchronized with Mars about once every two years, and in 2021, your SpaceX company will only need to wait for a year for the Great Falcon rocket to deliver supplies to Mars, which is exactly what you planned. ”

"......" Musk was silent, calculated quickly in his mind for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Enough! If [Earth Water Spray] can also be used by our company, you don't need to wait for orbit synchronization." The supply of goods will definitely be self-sufficient. ”

"Okay. Chen Yu stretched out his hand: "Then it's decided." ”

"Thank you very much!" Musk hurriedly shook hands and suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I promise, it won't take three years to build a colony city on Mars!"

"The king... Mr. Wang......"

At this time, the president of the Huaxia Aerospace Academy on the side finally couldn't help it: "Can our Chinese side also participate?"

"And our Mao Fang!"

"Valley... Does Google have a chance?"

"No, none. Chen Yu waved his hand: "This cooperation is none of your business. Who told you not to be active in exploring space? Now when you see the net profit, you will make it up?"

The three people in the reward group were suddenly embarrassed, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say.

"Besides, there are so many forces in the world, how busy will I be with opening the door for you one by one to launch satellites, find locations, and transport supplies? If you want to become a colony, launch your own launch pad. Whoever can build it is their own ability. ”

This topic is now discontinued. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yu turned around and turned his back to everyone and looked out the window: "Yo, can you already see outside?"

When the barrage group saw the lively five people hearing this, they immediately came back to their senses and hurriedly lay in front of the window to watch the scenery outside the cabin.

"Oh......"

β€œperfect!”

β€œγγ‚Œγ„γ ...... (It's so beautiful)"

At a height of 70,000 meters, the curvature of the earth is already obvious.

The deep space above, draped in glass-like gauze, is crystal clear. The darkness is bottomless.

The white clouds and blue ocean below are like jewels, shining brightly.

The two extremes echo each other, and the beauty is beyond the extreme of words......

"It's almost time for the second stage of liftoff, right?"

Probe, Chen Yu carefully looked at the turbulent sea water below, and reopened the live broadcast room to radio: "The audience and friends have been waiting for a long time. It won't be long before the second phase of the liftoff will begin, and when it's over, this review will come to an end. There's nothing to watch when it comes to landing, it's just opening the capsule parachute and landing in a regular way......"

"Huh?"

The old engineer Mao Guo on the side was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "Parachute? The space capsule that has not yet been completed, where did the parachute come from?"

Chen Yu: "?!"

Audience in the live broadcast room: "?!!"

Everyone present: "!!"
