Chapter 903: Future Boundary Plan
Over the next few days,
Xu Mang has been with Xiaoman, although he went to visit the Forbidden City, but he didn't buy Mercedes-Benz, first of all, Mercedes-Benz G63 is out of stock, and secondly, the car has to increase the price... For Xu Mang, this car is not a good car, nor is it a 6X6 layout, and the G63 alone is useless.
afterwards
Xu Mang went to the Space Bureau alone, and Secretary General Tian received him, although he didn't know what happened, but seeing Secretary Tian's serious expression, Xu Mang knew that it might be a big deal, could it be... Will the WhiteCat rover go to the skies next month?
"Secretary Tian?"
"What's the matter?"
"This hurry... Is the White Cat rover going to the sky?" Xu Mang asked curiously, "Anyway, are you all ready? Didn't you say it would be postponed?"
"It's not!"
"I'm talking to you about a plan, and a lot of people think it's time lately. "Four years ago, the Jupiter exploration program was proposed, and the basic scientific objectives of the program include studying the magnetosphere structure of Jupiter, the atmospheric model of Europa, the morphology and thickness of the ice on Europa's surface, and the solar wind structure between Venus, the Earth and Jupiter. β
At the same time, the extraterrestrial survival state and evolution characteristics of life on Earth are studied, and the miniature telemetry and remote-controlled biological experiments during the exploration of the Jupiter system are carried out to observe and study the life state, adaptive response and change process of life on Earth in different space segments. β
Words fall,
Secretary Tian continued: "Of course, this is one of the plans in the plan, and there are many similar plans, and we came to you to discuss the feasibility of the package. β
"Huh?"
"Exploring Jupiter?" Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's not expensive... The Juno probe of the United States, which cost only 1.1 billion dollars in total, was built by Lockheed Martin, Jupiter is very important to the Earth, and it should be studied relatively. β
"After all, we are a space power, and we show our due strength in space exploration, and the thrust of the rocket is not a problem, as long as the calculation is accurate... Using a gravitational slingshot, the planet's gravitational field is used to accelerate the space exploration ship and throw it to the next target. Xu Mang said with a smile.
"Yes!"
"That's what our scientists think the same way. Secretary Tian said: "Academician Xu, you are really an insider!"
"A must!"
"After all, one of my fields is astrophysics. Xu Mang said: "What problems are you encountering now? Do you calculate the gravitational slingshot? But... The exploration of Jupiter requires a moment and the cooperation of Mars..."
Secretary Tian shook his head and said seriously: "This aspect is already being calculated, we are looking for you... is a more important thing. β
moment
Xu Mang came to a conference room and saw a group of people already sitting inside, and couldn't help but be stunned. It's a bit grandiose, although I don't know what it is, but seeing this pomp, I'm afraid it's amazing!
"Academician Xu!"
"Come on, come on... You are here. When Zhang Ju saw Xu Mang, he hurriedly beckoned to him and said, "The position has been arranged for you." β
Xu Mang glanced at the front row of positions, and sure enough, they were all academician-level, and then reluctantly walked to his position, although it was the most on the side, but... Who makes himself an outsider, in fact, it is better to sit in the corner of the audience.
soon
The meeting began,
Xu Mang glanced at everyone in the audience, basically they didn't know each other, but the people on the stage were all old faces...
"Before the start of the meeting, I would like to briefly add a few words, in principle, this meeting is our internal discussion, but Academician Xu Mang has cooperated with us many times before, and without him, many projects will not be completed, so I called him to participate this time. β
"Academician Xu Mang can be regarded as half of the staff of our space agency. Zhang Ju said solemnly: "Whoever has an opinion can put it forward now, I will explain it to you on the spot." β
"No?"
"Then it's on!"
For everyone present, they naturally knew that this was just a polite remark, who would dare to expel Academician Xu Mang, unless he was already crazy, or he drank some fake wine last night.
"In accordance with the spirit of the superiors, in the future we will implement a comprehensive plan, this plan is called the 'Future Frontier Project', which plans to launch a Jupiter probe in the first step to detect Jupiter's composition, gravity and magnetic fields, etc., and is expected to cost about 1.3 billion US dollars. β
"The second step of the plan is to launch a Venus probe to collect information about the atmosphere and surface of Venus, to understand why Venus is the same size and close neighbors as Earth, but so different, at an estimated cost of about $700 million. β
"The third step of the plan is to launch a landing craft to the south pole of the moon to collect rock samples and learn more about the evolution of the Earth and the Moon..."Zhang continued: "The fourth step is the most important part of the 'Future Frontier Project', where we will land on a near-Earth asteroid, collect samples and return to Earth. β
"This will help humanity understand the origins of life in the solar system, and the final step of the Future Frontiers Project will cost a total of $3 billion, giving it a one-time opportunity. β
Xu Mang: ???
What?
The first few plans are easy to understand, and there is no difficulty, but this landing on a near-Earth asteroid is a bit difficult!
In the unlikely event of a subtle vulnerability, it would be devastating... Not only will you be sprayed to death by domestic trolls, but... And to be ridiculed by those neurotics abroad, this plan... Too bold and too advanced...
"We talked it over. β
"The head of the program to land on near-Earth asteroids... Academician Xu Mang!" Zhang Ju turned his head to look at Xu Mang and asked seriously: "Academician Xu Mang... This is the decision above. β
Xu Mang:( Μβ³ Μ;)
it!
It's cold!
I'm afraid it's going to heaven.
Then
The damned system was resurrected, giving a desperate task.

meanwhile
Many people present sweated for Xu Mang, this responsible person is difficult to be, more than 20 billion projects, if there is any slight mistake in the middle, this is to bear the charge of history, it can be said to be a very thankless project.
Of course...
If successful, then Xu Mang will once again become a superstar in the eyes of everyone, just in his twenties, he served as the head of this kind of project, and at the same time succeeded... This is an inspiration to many people, showing that success has little to do with age.
But will Academician Xu accept such a high-risk project?
Probably not, right?
"I obey the arrangement of my superiors!" Xu Mang nodded and said solemnly.
β...β
β...β
β...β
This... He looks like he's happy,
What's going on?
Don't you worry about accidents at all? If something goes wrong, you won't be able to wash yourself by jumping into the Yellow River.
After the dissolution of the meeting,
Xu Mang was stopped by Zhang Ju, and then came to his office, and Secretary Tian was present, and the three of them communicated on the details of this 'future boundary plan'.
"What's new!"
"NASA intends to launch another moon landing program. Zhang Ju handed Xu Mang a document and said seriously: "Look at it... Then talk about your impressions. β
Take the file,
Xu Mang took a closer look and roughly knew the situation, which was similar to before, but there was a space station above the lunar orbit, and after arriving at the space station, he entered the lunar lander, and then reached the moon, and after completing the lunar survey mission, he returned to the lunar space station and returned to the earth using the lunar gravitational slingshot effect.
This plan is perfect, after all, the United States is no longer the United States of the Cold War, and without the Saturn 5 launch vehicle, this is the only way to do it, but this method can be referred to.
"Very good!"
"I've heard about America's plan to return to the moon before, but... Can Congress agree?" Xu Mang asked curiously, "Now they don't have any money, this plan feels... It's competing with us for the moon. β
"Yes!"
"It's really competing with us!" Zhang Ju said: "I don't know if this plan will be suspended for the time being, in many cases, NASA is using us, thinking about his Congress, to cheat money, but we must also be vigilant, a new round of space competition is about to begin." β
"Oh..."
"What should I do now?" asked Xu Mang.
"There's nothing wrong with that, I just hope you can withstand the pressure in the future, whether it's from home or abroad. Zhang Ju said: "Don't be affected by some discordant voices. β
Words fall,
Zhang Ju showed a helpless smile and said to Xu Mang: "Your temper is very stubborn, and it is easy to go to a dead end, can your wife be such a person?
Speaking of Xiaoman,
Xu Mang's heart was cold, and he said with a sad face: "My wife... Not to mention, she's even more stubborn than me, although she's very beautiful and very good at making money, but... What a temper... It just stinks. β
"Zhang Ju?"
"You know my wife's uncle, right?"
"It's Yang XX!" Xu Mang said cautiously: "I'll see you when I have time... Help me bring a word, let Xiaoman be a little stable, I'm a little unbearable. β
β...β
β...β
What's the situation?
This resentment is not ordinary!
Zhang Ju coughed lightly and said helplessly: "This is your own family matter, I just... Don't get involved. β
"That's right!"
"I want you to take a temporary position in the space agency, I don't know what you think?" Zhang Ju asked: "After all, you are the person in charge of the most important stage of the 'Future Frontier Project', and if an outsider is put in charge of this project, I am afraid that others will gossip." β
"Although you are very famous in China, but... Because of the large collider project, it offended a lot of people. Zhang Ju said, "You should know." β
"Hmm!"
"No problem!"
