Chapter 797: New Space City
An hour later, Pangu Technology's Landing Crew was installed with the help of robots, and all the ecological equipment was put into operation.
Chiesa and Bradward enjoyed a summer hot pot in the eco-pod, and as long as the two of them were able to poop and pee, and the eco-pod could continue to provide energy for the nutrient colonies of the energy carriers in it, then the eco-pod would be able to maintain balance for a long time.
Xu Limin and Chiesa had a video call, "Now I give you two choices, one is to rest for a few days and reach the return of the Firefly to Earth, and the other is to continue the experiment here, according to our agreement with NASA, the Firefly will wait here for you to complete a series of experimental missions before sending you back to Earth." ”
Part of the agreement is that the research results of the astronauts on Mars will be shared with Pangu Technology.
Chiesa was able to video in time and on the ground, and it was a really cool feeling.
"We need to ask NASA for instructions. Chiesa said.
Xu Limin directly forwarded the signal to NASA headquarters, and Chiesa was able to talk to Jim.
After inquiring about the physical condition of the two men, it was decided that the Mars mission would continue for a week, and after completing the basic experiments, the two would be sent back to Earth by Firefly.
It's not that NASA is unwilling to carry out long-term Mars experiment missions, but a large amount of experimental equipment is in the resource module, and if the resource module is lost, then the experiment cannot be carried out.
In the past two months, the basic experiments that the two astronauts will be able to do have been basically completed, coupled with the physical condition, it is time to carry out the return mission.
Now that the rescue targets have been decided, the Firefly will return to Earth with the two of them in a week's time.
Pangu Technology's ecological cabin and the Yong robot will continue to stay in the Eden area, and the Yong robot will complete a series of data sampling on Mars to provide Pangu Science and Technology Life Science Laboratory with data basis for Martian lifeforms.
Yes, Martian lifeforms.
The transformation of a world should start from the microcosm, and Pangu Science and Technology Life Science Laboratory does not believe that life on Earth can adapt to Mars, which has a thin atmosphere and a very different climate from Earth. Only the creation of life forms adapted to Mars is the key to transforming the Martian ecological environment.
A week later, Chiesa and Bradward boarded the Firefly spaceship in the summer kingdom with the results of their experiments and their tired bodies, and a month later they would return to Earth without incident.
Pangu Technology has demonstrated its strong aerospace strength to the world.
In the aerospace world, there are two technologies that are crucial, one is power technology, which deals with the engine and operation of rockets and spacecraft. One is communication technology, which deals with the issue of remote information transmission.
If these two technologies are solved, then aerospace will be more than half successful.
Pangu Technology has a huge advantage in these two technologies, even a monopoly advantage that is unique in the world, which makes many countries and institutions salivate.
NASA did not spend money on the surface in this rescue operation, but when it comes to Pangu Science and Technology scientific research materials and the heavy water, deuterium, and tritium gifted, the cost of rice is more than 100 billion meters.
At the cost of these things, NASA certainly won't just work with Pangu once and finish the deal.
NASA officially proposed a joint space exploration program to Pangu Technology to achieve information sharing.
In addition to NASA, the Russian Space Agency and ESA also sent representatives to Jiangcheng in person, hoping to cooperate with Pangu Technology.
The center of the world's space exploration has shifted from the country of rice to the country of Xia.
The scientific community of Xia Kingdom also saw the future of interstellar exploration because of the birth of Pangu Technology's controllable nuclear fusion engine.
Yanjing, Xia Guo Institute of Space Technology, a discussion is raging.
"We should develop the resources of the moon, and at the speed of our trip to Mars this time, it will only take a few hours to go to the moon, and we will be able to become the first country in the world to develop the moon. ”
"What's the use of us developing the moon? We don't need the resources on it, and if the resources can be used, only Pangu Technology can use it itself. One professor's language was a little sour, "When will the exploration of space technology be subject to the technical standards of private enterprises." ”
"Oops. We all know that Pangu Technology's success this time makes your decades of research results almost useless, but Pangu Technology is our country's technology company after all, and we should still be happy. ”
Professor Li Yanming is the leader of the Deep Space Power Research Group at the Xia National Institute of Space Technology and a professor at Yenching University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
He is engaged in the study of the dynamics of high-thrust rockets and deep space probes.
This was originally the hottest research topic in deep space exploration, and thousands of graduate students apply for Professor Li Yanming's examination every year, with an acceptance rate of less than 1 percent.
Now Pangu Technology has directly launched a controllable nuclear fusion engine, which has a performance that kills chemical fuel engines and makes what Li Yanming has studied for decades useless.
It is foreseeable that in the just-concluded graduate admissions examination, many people will give up studying with Li Yanming because of Pangu Technology's controllable nuclear fusion engine.
was originally the hottest major and became a major that no one cared about, how could it be said that Li Yanming was not angry in his heart?
"Talk, I'll go out for a cigarette. Li Yanming said and stood up, "Also, don't be too optimistic, Pangu Technology may not cooperate with you." ”
The entire conference room was lifeless after Li Yanming left, and the presiding officer of the meeting said, "Let's continue to discuss." ”
Unlike the Yanjing conference room, which has a somewhat depressing atmosphere, the newly established aerospace department of Pangu Technology has just completed the listing ceremony, and Xu Limin has temporarily served as the person in charge of the new department.
Xiao Ming and Xu Limin, as well as employees of the new department, held a roundtable.
The first proposal of this meeting is the development of the moon.
According to the speed of Firefly-1 to Mars, Pangu Technology can reach the moon in three hours, and if the speed of launch and landing is calculated, it will be more than half a day to reach the moon.
So Xiao Ming took a fancy to the resources of the three-month earth - one is helium-three, the best raw material for nuclear fusion, the other is to use the moon as a transit station to explore deep space or observe deep space, and the last one is also closely related to ordinary people, using the moon as a travel destination to develop travel resources.
All three are very feasible and can bring huge economic benefits.
Pangu Technology has spent a lot of money on the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion, and it is impossible to make a profit without using the technology.
After the talks, the company decided to choose Jiangcheng to build an aviation base in the city around Jiangcheng.
The base has three purposes, scientific research launch, interstellar resource cargo and interstellar travel collection and transfer.
Xiao Ming got up and stretched and said, "Now we have to see what kind of managers are willing to give up the place." ”
