Gangyi said: "Lao Dou, I want to send a machine to Mars to have a look." ”

Chen Xin was stunned: "Go to Mars?"

Gangyi said: "Lao Dou, this is a rare opportunity, our vision can not be limited to the earth, the resources on the earth are limited, and it is our pursuit to open bases on other planets in the solar system in the future." ”

Chen Xin also agrees that the future of war is not on the earth, but in the entire solar system.

Although he is still fighting for the interests of metal batteries on the earth and Lao Mei, this is inevitable in the primitive accumulation stage of capital, as long as he integrates a sufficient amount of resources, builds a space elevator, and brings mankind into the interstellar age, then the resources on the earth are dispensable for the war.

Not to mention anything else, the moon alone also has amazing value to Chen Xin.

The volume of ilmenite in the basalt on the moon accounts for 25%, and titanium is about more than 100 trillion tons. In the future, humans will be able to directly use this stone to produce water, liquid oxygen fuel and other resources. The scarce uranium, rare earths, etc., on the earth, are also quite abundant on the moon.

In particular, helium-3, which is unique to lunar soil, will completely change the original energy structure of human society. The surface soil of the moon contains millions of tons of helium-3, an efficient, clean and safe nuclear fusion fuel, and one ton of helium-3 produces enough electricity for all mankind to use for a year.

In addition, the abundant metal resources such as silicon, aluminum, and iron on the moon are also a huge reservoir of mineral resources on the earth in the future. Not to mention the resources contained on planets such as the asteroid belt, Mars, and Mercury.

In the past, when Chen Xin was chatting with Gangyi, Gangyi said that the resources in the solar system were enough for human beings to upgrade to the level of civilization above the fourth-level civilization. Planetary systems with such resources are relatively rare in the entire galaxy.

The only thing that makes people wonder is that life on earth has appeared for so many years, why it is not until thousands of years ago that such an intelligent civilization as human beings appeared, which is completely unreasonable.

Gangyi felt that there should be a lot of secrets in this, but for it and Chen Xin, they were not yet capable of pursuing these secrets that had been buried in the ashes of time.

Chen Xinxin said: ", if we repair the Forbes-Soil and add our own machine and human probe on it, then can you be sure that we can guarantee communication? After all, we do not have our own deep space tracking and control network like Russia." If you borrow their network. So will the information we get leaked?"

Due to the energy dissipation of radio waves during transmission, the measurement and control technology in space activities has become extremely important.

No matter which country is concerned, the space TT&C system is the "nerve center" of all spacecraft flights, and the spacecraft is inseparable from TT&C communication support in key flight segments such as the launch stage, the ascent stage, the orbit change stage, the separation stage, and the return braking stage. The level of aerospace TT&C is an important indicator for the aerospace community to evaluate the level of a country's aerospace development.

Especially for interplanetary exploration. The deep space TT&C network is even more important.

The U.S. Deep Space Tracking and Control Network (DSN) was established in 1958. It consists of 3 ground terminal facilities located in Goldstown, California, USA, Canberra, Australia, and Madrid, Spain. The longitude is separated by about 120 degrees from each other, which provides continuous observation and appropriate overlapping arcs in the tracking and measurement of deep space probes.

DSN has changed a lot in more than 50 years. Not only has the scale been expanded, but more importantly, there has been a huge improvement in technology and performance. Telemetry reception capacity has increased from 8 bit/s at the beginning to tens or even hundreds of megabits per second.

China's deep space tracking and control network is in its infancy, and coupled with the limitations of high-thrust launch vehicles, this is why China will use Russian space forces for its first Mars exploration.

The current strength of the steel hammer is not comparable with the peak at all, so it is difficult for it to identify the radio signals transmitted back from Mars, so if the war is to release a probe on Mars, then it must be inseparable from the support of the deep space monitoring and control network of Russia or the United States.

quacked and said: "Old Dou, don't worry, when the time comes, I will do some tricks on the Forbes-Soil to establish an independent transmission channel to ensure that it will not be discovered by the Russians." Besides. Mao Zi came to you this time, I am afraid that the political factors are far greater than the technical factors, and it is natural for us to get some benefits from them. ”

After Gangyi's explanation, Chen Xin's mood that had become a little gloomy because of Chang Siwei's uninvited arrival was also relieved, and he looked at Chang Siwei and Chen Deyan with a smile and said: "General Chang, it's not impossible for us to make a move, and the Dream has the ability to do this." However, there are still a lot of risks in this operation, after all, there are still tons of toxic fuel on board the Forbes-Soil, and if we explode or something while we repair it, then we will lose a lot. ”

Chang Siwei, Peng Guochen and the others looked at each other and smiled, and at this time, Russian Ambassador to China Ivanovich stretched out four fingers and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of the four Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines?"

Chen Xin was stunned, and suddenly scolded in his heart,, Mao Zi is so big!

No wonder Chang Siwei, Peng Guochen and others came to the door with Ivanovic without their consent, and it turned out that they couldn't refuse Maozi's conditions.

With four Typhoon-class nuclear submarines, Chen Xin has to admire the courage of Putin and Medvedev.

The former Soviet Union built a total of six Typhoon-class nuclear submarines, except for one that has been dismantled, of the remaining five, one is in the hands of the war, one is in service in the Russian Navy, and three are moored in the harbor waiting to be dismantled.

Now Lao Maozi has given all the remaining four Typhoon-class nuclear submarines to the war in one go, so that the war situation has five super nuclear submarines that can cruise infinitely in the world's seas, and has become the world's second largest super weapon with underwater nuclear counterattack capabilities, even Maozi's nuclear arsenal may not be comparable to himself.

At that time, even if the war is out of the air and space planes, the nuclear counterattack force composed of five ballistic missile nuclear submarines will be enough to deter the United States.

At this moment, Chen Xinzhen's heart was moved.

In fact, not to mention Chen Xin at this time, even the steel hammer shouted excitedly in Chen Xin's mind: "Old Bean, deal deal, whoever doesn't do this business is a fool." ”

Chen Xin ignored the crazy steel hammer, and said lightly: "Mr. Ivanovich, the four Typhoon-class nuclear submarines, you have a good calculation, and handing over these four nuclear submarines that were originally intended to be decommissioned to the War Surprise Bureau not only saves a huge amount of dismantling costs, but also allows the War Sudden Situation to help you attract the attention of the United States, which is really a few in one fell swoop!"

Ivanovich said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, it can't be said that the Russian Federation is committed to developing friendly and cooperative relations with you, and we hope that this relationship will be based on mutual benefit, so I will provide you with the much-needed nuclear submarines, and you will help us repair the Mars rover, which is a mutually beneficial deal, and I don't think Mr. Chen should refuse so unwisely." What's more, if we do this, we will inevitably be under great pressure from Western countries, and we have also taken a lot of risks. ”

Chen Xin smiled slightly and said, "It's not impossible for me to agree, but I have one more condition." ”

"On what terms?"

Chen Xindao: "Presumably, you should be no stranger to metal batteries, right?"

Ivanovic was slightly stunned and nodded, and Chang Siwei, Peng Guochen and others on the side also looked stern.

Russia, as the largest backup of the Assad regime in Syria, naturally got a lot of samples of metal batteries from Bashar, but like the United States, Russia is also unable to copy samples of metal batteries in a short period of time, and they have only figured out the principle of metal batteries, and there is still a long way to go from actually manufacturing them.

Chen Xindao: "I hope that after the metal battery is launched in the future, you can open the market to Transwarp as soon as possible, and at the same time, through the reduction of oil production, increase the international crude oil price, and help Transwarp to promote the new energy revolution around the world to the greatest extent." ”

Ivanovic's brows furrowed suddenly, Chen Xin's mention had already touched on the fundamental policy issues of the state, and he could not give an accurate answer at all.

The reason why Medvedev and Putin sent him this time is that on the one hand, there is an excuse to establish contact with the Guò Forbes-Soil Mars rover, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the future energy revolution.

When it was learned that the space plane that took off from Mogadishu landed at China's Capital International Airport, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had already made a judgment that the introduction of metal batteries in the future would be inevitable.

As a result, the Russian Federation, which fuels its economy through petrochemical energy exports, is in an awkward position in this transformation, especially for Putin and Medvedev, who rely on oligarchs for support.

So after several nights of secret discussions with President Medvedev, Putin finally made a decision to take advantage of the war at any cost, and for this reason they even made huge concessions to the Chinese in the oil and arms export negotiations, hoping that the Chinese government would be able to match the bridge.

This strategy of the Russians succeeded 90 percent, but no one expected that at the last moment of the negotiations, Chen Xin would put forward such a condition.

Ivanovich thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Mr. Chen, this condition is beyond my authority, I can't give you an accurate answer now, if you don't mind, President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin welcome you to visit Moscow at any time." (To be continued......)
