Chapter 469: Surprising Progress (200 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Mr. Ou's words certainly have confidence in Ye Chen, and he also has confidence in new fuels. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Chen's interest came, and he asked, "Chief Ou, how much do you know about the new fuel?" ”
When Ye Chen was designing and perfecting the new launch vehicle, he knew the performance of many new fuels, which was indeed very powerful, but Ye Chen still didn't know where he went, and he only knew that he had touched the threshold of industrialization.
The lunar exploration project must be related to the rocket, and if the rocket does not meet the requirements, the designed equipment cannot be transported, and it is useless. As the chief engineer of the lunar exploration project, Chief Master Ou may know more, and Ye Chen also wants to find out.
"Xiao Ye, I only know some performance data, and I don't know the specific situation." Chief Engineer Ou shook his head and said, "Xiao Ye, you also know that if this new type of fuel is successful, it will be of great significance, that is, it will have a much more far-reaching impact than the lunar exploration project. For such an important scientific research project, confidentiality comes first, and the less people know about it, the better. ”
Ye Chen nodded heavily, agreeing very much.
Judging from the performance data obtained by Ye Chen, this new fuel is very remarkable. If nothing else, let's just say that the new launch vehicle, with the existing fuel, our country was initially going to make a launch vehicle with a take-off weight of 3,000 tons and a carrying capacity of more than 100 tons. And now, the take-off weight has been directly increased to 18,000 tons, and the carrying capacity is tens of thousands of tons, which is too scary.
This shows how powerful this new fuel is.
If this fuel is made, it will be of revolutionary significance, and the impact will be no less than that of the lunar exploration project, or even greater, much greater.
Therefore, confidentiality comes first.
It is a world-renowned scientist like Ye Chen, who has participated in many major national projects, and the state has not shown him specific data. It is estimated that he will not give him the data until Ye Chen is really involved.
"The lunar development program has been put on the agenda, and our lunar exploration project has become the preparatory stage of the lunar development program, and our work must be accelerated, and we must speed up the progress, and strive to complete a comprehensive study of the moon before the lunar development plan is really launched." Mr. Ou said.
Although the lunar exploration project has made great achievements, there is a big gap between it and the lunar development plan advocated by Ye Chen. It can be used as a preparatory stage for the lunar development program, collecting data for the official launch of the lunar development program, and understanding the situation on the moon.
Without these preparations, it would be difficult for the lunar development program to unfold.
Only by knowing the moon can you choose the location of the base. If you don't understand the situation and choose the wrong location of the base, it will be more difficult. If nothing else, if there are no needed mineral resources near the base, it will increase the cost a lot.
"We came to Fengzhou this time to meet with Xiao Ye and report the achievements of our lunar exploration project to Xiao Ye. Then, I also asked Xiao Ye to guide us in our work and strive to complete the preparatory work as soon as possible. Mr. Ou said.
Ye Chen is the chief scientist of the lunar development program, and the lunar exploration project is included in the lunar development plan, and it is necessary to prepare for the lunar development and have a meeting to let Ye Chen understand the situation.
It's best to let Ye Chen point out. Ye Chen's magic, Chief Ou knows it, if they can get Ye Chen's guidance, I believe that the lunar exploration project will make amazing progress.
"What have you achieved?" Ye Chen's interest came.
The lunar exploration project has yielded fruitful results and many results have been announced. However, these published results represent only a small part of what has been achieved. Much of the data is confidential and cannot be published.
Our country has spent so much money and time to get so much data. If it is published, others will be able to get it for nothing, which is very unfair to us.
It has been decades since the United States landed on the moon, and many things are still kept secret and have not been announced.
Mr. Ou looked at the company's senior management, and his meaning was obvious, the company's senior management was not classified enough to understand the situation.
Xiao Lingyue stood up and led the company's top management to leave.
Chief Ou took out a super light brain, Ye Chen was a little surprised, they also had a super light brain. When I thought about it, I was relieved. The country has high hopes for the lunar exploration project, and it is inevitable that the country will give them super light brains.
Now, Ye Chen has produced dozens of super light brains here, and there is no problem for the state to allocate some to them.
Mr. Ou turned on the super light brain, called up the data, and displayed it on the projection screen.
"Oh my God! You've achieved amazing things! Ye Chen's mouth opened wider and wider, and the shock on his face became stronger and stronger.
Ye Chen is not exaggerating at all, the lunar exploration project has indeed made surprising achievements, more than 10,000 times better than what was announced.
Although Ye Chen had long known that the announced results were only the tip of the iceberg of the achievements of our country, only now did he know after reading the data that it far exceeded his expectations.
"Our lunar exploration program is a three-step process, and we have four goals." Chief Master Lei introduced Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's ears were propped up, although Ye Chen had already known these four goals, he still wanted to hear them. It is so rare to be able to get Chief Lei, the chief engineer of the lunar exploration project, to explain it in person, and it must not be missed.
"Our first goal is to obtain a three-dimensional image of the lunar surface. Understand the basic geomorphological and tectonic units on the lunar surface, and compile a compendium map of lunar geology and tectonics, so as to provide a reference for the subsequent selection of landing sites. Chief Master Lei explained in detail.
As he spoke, he pulled up the data and said, "These are the first target data we collected. ”
Ye Chen looked carefully, the data was really not small, the three-dimensional image of the lunar surface was very clear, and the surface situation was clearly visible.
"Awesome, this photography technique is very good." Ye Chen was amazed.
"We've accomplished this goal." Chief Lei was very pleased.
"Without this data, it is impossible to choose a landing site, the lunar rover will not be able to go up, and a manned landing on the moon will be a big problem." Ye Chen nodded, he knew very well how significant this goal was, and it could be said to be the most basic requirement.
If you can't do this, what is there to talk about landing on the moon.
The rover has gone up, which is a good indication that this goal has been accomplished.
"With this data, our lunar development plan is much easier, and we don't have to worry about choosing the wrong place for the site." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
To develop the moon, you have to have a base. The location of the base is particularly important, and if you choose the wrong place, the consequences will be too serious. This is on the moon, not on the earth, once you choose the wrong place, a large number of materials are transported to the moon, and if you want to move somewhere, it is difficult to imagine.
"These data are enough for the lunar exploration project, but not enough for the lunar development program, and further in-depth research is needed." Ye Chen pointed out its shortcomings and said: "Our goal is not to establish a research and development base, but to establish a development base, which is very different. ”
Chief Master Ou nodded, agreeing with Ye Chen's statement.
"The R&D base will not be too big, and there will be a lot fewer issues to consider, such as the environment, such as mineral resources, and the R&D base can not be considered." Ye Chen continued: "To develop a base, we must take into account the environment and the distribution of mineral resources. ”
The development base is very large, there are many personnel, there is a lot of equipment, the environment is not good, it is not suitable to be a base, and it is too difficult to relocate.
If you don't have mineral resources, it will be too expensive to transport them to the base.
"Xiao Ye is right, we are working on the preparation of new goals." Mr. Ou agrees with Ye Chen's opinion: "Our second goal is to analyze the content of useful elements and the types of substances on the moon, as well as their distribution characteristics. Exploration of useful elements of the moon and compilation of distribution maps of each element. We have only just started this goal, and we have not yet achieved good results. ”
"This goal is essential for the lunar development program, but it is very difficult, and it needs to be carried out after landing." Ye Chen knew very well how difficult this goal was: "The lunar rover went up and obtained a lot of samples, but the range of activities that the lunar rover can move is limited, and there will not be too many samples. Our research on the Moon is also limited. ”
The lunar rover is a product of high technology, and few countries in the world can make it. When used on the moon, the environment is harsh, which limits the range of activities of the lunar rover, the limited samples obtained, and the limited understanding of the moon.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Ye, I have to thank you again. Your intelligent technology has helped us a lot, and our new generation of lunar rover will overcome these difficulties, and the range of activities will be much larger, and the samples obtained will be much larger, which will be of great help to us in studying the moon. Chief Engineer Ou revealed a good news: "The new generation of lunar rover is progressing well, and the test results are shocking, and the performance has been improved almost tenfold. ”
"So much?" Although Ye Chen knew very well that intelligent technology would inevitably be used in the new generation of lunar rover, he did not expect that it would be improved so much.
You must know that the lunar rover is used on the moon, and it is not easy to improve it significantly. Every time you improve a little, there is no small difficulty.
"That's where smart technology comes in. And, of course, the photonic chips are a bit of a credit. Mr. Ou said with a smile.
Ye Chen's intelligent technology is really good, and it is reasonable to use it on the lunar rover to greatly improve the performance of the lunar rover. Not to mention, there is also the big killer of photonic chips.
"Our third goal is to probe the lunar soil, looking for helium-3. The fourth goal is to study the Earth-Moon environment. Chief Master Ou shook his head and said, "These two goals have a long way to go, and I can't complete them in my lifetime, so I have to rely on you young people like Xiaoye." ”
Helium-3, the main raw material for thermonuclear reactors, is the main source of energy for mankind in the future. The main goal of various space powers to land on the moon is helium-3. Helium-3 is mainly found in lunar soil, and to obtain this helium-3, it is necessary to analyze lunar soil, study lunar soil, and refine it from lunar soil.
That's a lot of work, so much so that it's shocking.
Although our country's lunar exploration program has achieved fruitful results, it has not yet landed a man on the moon, let alone established a research base, and it is impossible to accomplish this goal.
Studying the Earth-Moon environment is similar.
