Chapter 217: The Jaw-dropping Navigator Mars Probe
It's not new for Merrican to find someone to work with, and even the cause of finding Tianxia to cooperate with is not new, but many things don't work out in the end.
As for why, of course, it is because Merrican has always been dominant.
In fact, Tianxia doesn't have any opinions on whether to dominate or not, as long as it allows me to learn.
But Merriken is afraid of Tianxia's ability to learn, because if every country wants to reach the top, it must go through a period of crazy learning and crazy development, which is how it came to be.
It's just that its growth stage encountered a world war, and its special geographical location allowed it to taste the sweetness of a world war, so it embarked on the road of military development, shortened the time of its rise, and soon became a new world hegemon.
Seeing that Tianxia has entered a stage of frenzied learning and development, it must restrict it from all aspects to prevent Tianxia's rapid learning and development.
So there are all sorts of restriction bills.
In order to prevent others from exceeding themselves, card restrictions are set everywhere...... How to say it, I can't make a mistake, it's just that the pattern is too small.
Fortunately, this thing has little to do with space agencies, because astronauts know best how small human beings are in the universe, and the space agencies of the two countries have always wanted to cooperate and explore the universe together.
Now the time has finally come.
Although this timing is full of uncertainties, and I don't know whether it is good or bad, it is indeed an opportunity for the space agencies of the two countries to cooperate.
If the cooperation is pleasant, perhaps the two countries can abandon their estrangement, truly achieve comprehensive cooperation, and jointly lead human civilization to the stars.
Well, this is the good wish of astronauts.
I don't know if it will be possible in the end.
And the people in the conference room all fell into deep thought when they heard the director say this.
The suggestion is good advice, and they also want to mobilize the whole world to unite to explore space, but given that Merrican has so many bad records, they really can't make up their minds for a while.
After a buzzing discussion below, an old qualified aerospace expert said: "How to say this, there are too many criminal records in the United States, I feel that it is better to let the upper side probe the opposite side first." ”
"If there is also the idea of cooperation, then it is possible to cooperate without participating in the United Nations General Assembly, and if the other side does not want to cooperate, I don't want to experience another visa refusal."
With veteran experts taking the lead, others have also expressed their opinions.
"Yes, let's just let the upper side contact first, in case the people at our space port are busy for a long time, and the other side disagrees, isn't it a waste of time? The last thing to waste now is time. ”
"I think it should be the same, the ideas of our astronauts are relatively simple, we have wanted to cooperate with the opposite space agency for a long time, and have also made a lot of efforts, if we can cooperate this time, of course, if we can't cooperate, don't delay time, so it's best not to stop preparing here."
"Well, let the upper side contact the other side, and the plan we thought of before will also be reported, and we had better move when we wait for the news, and once there is news or funds in place, we can start work immediately."
Everyone, you and I basically said the main problem of this matter.
Indeed, although the two space agencies cannot cooperate because of the "Wolf Act", the two usually interact with each other.
Today you successfully launched the rocket, I wish you well, tomorrow I successfully launched the rocket, you also congratulate you.
At the beginning, Tianxia's aerospace technology was really not good, but after realizing manned spaceflight, it was able to prove its capabilities.
Obviously capable, but both sides want to develop their own on their own, and even do what they have done again, the hearts of astronauts will be broken.
But this is the reality, the reality that they can't change, so now it is possible to break the previous barrier and cooperate, how can they try again.
But if it doesn't work out, it's really nothing, it's just a continuation of the previous plan.
Listening to them talk about this, Tang Chao knew that it was time to speak by himself.
So far, the news of the "alien probe" has been spread outside, except for those who are irrational, people with a little brain know that the space powers, whether they cooperate or come alone, will definitely use various methods to figure out what that thing is.
In this way, there is still no country that has come forward to declare that the unknown probe was secretly launched by them, so the probability that that that thing does not belong to the earth is as high as 99.9%.
If he doesn't say anything at this time, then this mission may not have anything to do with him.
Even if he is useful, it is estimated that he will not be able to enter the core layer.
After all, the course of action was almost discussed, and even the matter of cooperation with various countries was on the agenda, and most of the people in the room had not even seen the real "extraterrestrial signal".
Including Tang Chao.
That raw signal has been classified as top secret, and all they know now is simple data based on that raw signal.
The signal was rather messy, and professional analysts tried various deciphering methods using supercomputers, but in the end they could not find a reasonable answer.
It's definitely useless to take out the raw data and look at it directly, most of the people here are not even data analysts, plus the need for confidentiality, so they show the people in the conference room the processed simple information.
Even the wide dissemination of various information on the Internet does not list the most primitive signal sequences, and all the information is added more than once.
Therefore, as the most suitable person on Earth to deal with extraterrestrial affairs, he must take over the matter of being the first to contact extraterrestrial probes.
Whether it is the first to come into contact with the alien probe, or the original signal sequence after entering the core layer, after getting those things, he can send them to Kanxing, and then gather the power of the entire Kanxing to decipher.
Add ten times the time on this side of the earth, and I believe that you will soon get something useful.
"I have something to say, about the direct use of orbital probes to find unidentified probes."
"Say." The Director is a resolute man.
"That's right, everyone has discussed it before, and letting the orbiter find the unknown probe is the fastest way, but Tianxia is such a Mars orbiter, and it also has a lot of important tasks, so it can't be used so easily."
"It just so happens that our Navigator company has a Mars rover, which should be usable."
Hearing him say this, he was anxious to say something, but he waved his hand to stop and continued: "Our probe has been built for a long time, and it is also the first integrated probe of our Mars program, which is similar to the combination of Tianwen-1, but it is different. ”
"It can be said to be the culmination of our company's aerospace technology, and its power system uses our company's most advanced ion thruster ......"
Because he didn't prepare in advance, Tang Chao could only say whether there was even a PPT or not.
But now he is not the same person he used to be, and now he has a lot of material in his stomach.
And everything he said was available on the Kan planet, plus the little green man loves modular manufacturing, so he can now tell what is on the non-existent Navigator Mars rover.
It is equipped with a variety of advanced detection instruments, a solar wing with a very high conversion rate, a huge communication antenna, an extremely advanced ion thruster and working fluid storage equipment.
These things can make it to Mars orbit in just one month, a batch of high efficiency.
As an integrated rover, it also carries a rover, and even more and more complex things, so it weighs much more than Tianwen-1, reaching an unprecedented 32 tons.
Because it was originally designed to be used with the "Voyage".
As soon as this weight came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked.
It's a Big Mac!
"Comrade Xiao Tang, your thing called 'Probe' can't be carrying a small Martian survival module, right? It's also too heavy. ”
"Hehe, of course not, now that you don't carry out a manned Mars landing mission, why do you launch an inactive survival module?" Tang Chao smiled and shook his head.
He gestured three fingers and continued: "What finally landed on the surface of Mars was a rover, a Mars helicopter and a small orbital rocket. ”
"The rover and helicopter are both 5-ton class, and the orbital rocket can carry 100 kilograms of Martian rock samples into Martian orbit, and after the sample bank and orbiter dock, the orbiter can separate a return cargo ship to send the rock samples back to Earth orbit, and a large part of the orbiter will remain in Mars orbit to continue to perform detection and signal relay work."
"This is the integrated Mars rover that our Navigator technology has combined!"
Everyone in the room: "......"
