Chapter 245 Moon Landing Program Confirmed, Energy Storage Station
The four of them chatted briefly for a while, and then began to get down to business, about the moon landing.
The goal of both sides is clear: they want to achieve the moon landing ahead of schedule, rather than waiting for the completion of the Sanmen program in two months.
Before the two sides talked in detail, Dai Ping'an, dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, first described their assessment of the early moon landing, and then Fan Xiaoming talked about the evaluation of the scientific research team of the Jiutian Research Center on the early moon landing.
Both assessments are positive for an early moon landing.
The difference is the timing and the details of the moon landing program.
The former is very conservative, and the lunar landing plan is for ten people to fly directly to the moon on the space shuttle, using the existing beam channel and SS-defense system.
After landing on the moon, they will stay for two hours, after which they will return to Earth on the space shuttle.
In terms of time, this plan requires half a month to prepare.
The latter is different, in the lunar landing program, fifty people will go to the moon together on the space shuttle.
Among them, there are 30 candidates for the moon landing who have been screened through various levels, plus 19 professionals.
The last place was reserved for a wealthy man in the country, who bought the first place to go to the moon for 10 billion.
This moon landing was missionary.
In addition to a simple moon landing, a beam channel generator should be built in lunar orbit.
As for the stay on the Moon and in lunar orbit, the plan is three days, since it will take three days to complete the construction and commissioning of the beam channel.
In terms of time, this plan only takes seven days to prepare.
After the introduction of the two sides, Xu Zhengping was a little surprised and said, "You guys...... Isn't your plan for a moon landing too radical? ”
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Principal! Isn't your plan for a moon landing too conservative? ”
Dai Ping'an coughed lightly and said: "It's good to be conservative, conservative is not only safe, but also saves money, do you know, as far as our test flight today, don't say anything else, just talk about the electricity bill, just today's test flight, the electricity cost is as high as 500 million, you calculate how much electricity you use." ”
As for today's test flight, whether it is a space shuttle or a spacesuit, except for the fact that there is no power output in synchronous orbit, there is a power output at other times.
Especially when accelerating and decelerating, a lot of power is required, which means that a lot of energy needs to be consumed.
"Actually, our plan also takes it into account." Su Zhe explained, "In any case, the beam channel generator in the lunar orbit will be built, and this time we will take the opportunity to land on the moon to build it, and when we go again, we will not consume a lot of energy, and the most important thing is that we can return with a lot of energy." ”
The main purpose of building beam channels is to save energy.
At the opposite ends of the beam channel are the beam generators.
To put it bluntly, a beam generator is a combination of a beam emitter and a beam receiver.
The light in the beam channel is a combination of light in two directions, which greatly reduces the waste of energy.
In fact, one-direction light can also charge the space shuttle, but in this way, there is a small area, and if it is a large area, it will cause a waste of light energy.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "To be honest, we spend billions of dollars, but we still have to consider the cost, otherwise this time it will not only be the construction of the lunar orbit beam channel generator, but the construction of the permanent base of the moon." ”
"This ...... All right! Xu Zhengping said, "It's just that this preparation time, is seven days really enough?" ”
Dai Ping'an nodded and said: "Seven days of preparation time is too short, although we are in a hurry to land on the moon, there is no need to be in such a hurry!" ”
"Seven days is enough." Fan Xiaoming said with certainty, "The module of the beam channel generator has been prepared for a long time, and it can fly when it is installed on the space shuttle, and the trouble is the personnel, but the trouble is not big, and the training will take a few days." ”
"This time on the moon, we will take the way of a direct landing of the space shuttle, and we will ......," Su Zhe said with a smile.
The beam channel generator and related supplies will be delivered to the moon in advance.
This moon landing will transform the interior of a space shuttle Black Wither, making it a residence for 50 people.
The Black Wither Space Shuttle and a Blue Sparrow will land on the Moon early.
The former is a residence, and the latter is a backup just in case.
As for the beam channel generator module, it will be delivered to lunar orbit by a space shuttle Black Wither and two space shuttles White Goose.
After listening to Su Zhe's statement, Xu Zhengping and Dai Ping'an nodded.
"Okay!" Xu Zhengping said, "But this time you go to fifty people at a time, isn't it too much!" ”
"Let that rich man go, I won't talk about it, after all, it will help the school's publicity, and nineteen majors are also indispensable, but the thirty candidates for the moon landing, I think it will be good to choose ten of them according to the original plan." Dai Ping'an said.
This rich man spent 10 billion yuan to shoot the first place for a trip to the moon.
10 billion!
Whether it is for the school or for the rich themselves, it has a positive significance.
And nineteen professionals, this is indispensable for the construction of beam channel generators.
There are only thirty last thirty candidates for the moon landing.
In his opinion, it would be enough to choose ten according to the plan.
"Don't! The members of this moon landing, except for the rich man, everyone else has a mission, and they are all important tasks. Fan Xiaoming said, "Let's be honest! The supplies brought this time are enough for 100 people for seven days, but in fact, they can go to more people. ”
"Mission! All right! Tell me about it. Xu Zhengping said.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded and began to introduce the plan and some details of the moon landing in detail.
Soon, the time came at half past eleven in the evening.
The introduction is almost over, and after listening to it, Xu Zhengping and Dai Ping'an are very supportive of this plan.
This time on the moon, not only will 50 people land on the moon, but also 60 humanoid robots will be carried.
Although this humanoid robot is not too stable, it can still perform some simple tasks.
And these sixty humanoid robots will stay on the moon.
After speaking, Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "That's right! I forgot to mention that this time on the moon, Su Zhe and I will participate as professionals. ”
"You're going to take part in this moon landing?" Dai Ping'an asked in surprise.
Xu Zhengping hurriedly vetoed it and said, "No! Absolutely not! Neither of you can go anyway, and if there is an accident, it will be a loss for the entire human race, no! You can't take that risk. ”
"What could happen!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "We will plug all the loopholes, besides, we are not stupid, and we will not joke with our lives." ”
"This moon landing is not a big problem." Su Zhe said, "Go to the moon! I also want to experience that this is the first time, and when we build the beam channel generator, the moon landing is estimated to be normalized. ”
"You ...... You are so sure there will be no accidents. Xu Zhengping said.
"Of course! Today's experiment is the best proof of this. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "If there is really an accident, I can fly back from the moon wearing an armored spacesuit, and I can wait for rescue, right?" ”
Su Zhe nodded and said, "We will take this step sooner or later, since the conditions are ripe, we must take a big step, otherwise it will only affect the subsequent development of the moon." ”
Dai Ping'an looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming, thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then I will also participate in the moon landing!" Who wouldn't want to experience it. ”
"Well, don't add me much!" Xu Zhengping said with a smile.
Both of them are old astronauts, and they are very clear about the current conditions.
It is very clear that this moon landing is very reliable, otherwise it would not have landed on the moon in advance.
"This ......" Fan Xiaoming looked at Xu Zhengping, looked at Dai Ping'an and said, "Principal! You are in your early sixties, don't participate this time, next time there will be all preparations, Dean Dai can go, just to be the leader of this moon landing operation. ”
"Is this really? I'm the leader! Dai Ping'an said excitedly.
Xu Zhengping glared at Dai Ping'an.
Dai Ping'an said fearlessly: "Teacher! You are too old to go to the moon rashly, so let the students take you to see it first, and then accompany the teacher next time. ”
"Hey! Old! If I had been five years younger, I wouldn't have changed my mind. Xu Zhengping sighed.
After chatting, it was decided to adopt the moon landing plan proposed by Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.
According to the plan, it will take seven days to prepare, and it will be seven days later, that is, on June 15, 51 people will fly to the moon on the space shuttle Blue Sparrow.
On the morning of the next day, more than 3,500 key personnel involved in the lunar landing program were summoned and a mobilization meeting was held at the space shuttle assembly plant.
The main content of the mobilization meeting was the presentation of the entire lunar landing program, as well as the breakdown of the tasks.
After knowing the news, all the members attending the meeting were excited.
The most excited are the 30 candidates for the moon and the super-rich man named Chang Kang.
According to the original plan, ten of the thirty candidates for the moon landing would be selected to carry out the moon landing program, and they did not expect such an outcome.
On it together.
Among these thirty people are Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming's assistants, Bi Yuankui and Ma Ping.
The two of them began with the initial screening and became one of thirty candidates for the moon landing.
After the two learned the news last night, they were excited all night at the astronaut training center and didn't sleep.
They weren't the only ones who didn't sleep, there were twenty-eight other people.
After all, this time was too unexpected, and the time of the moon landing was also much earlier.
As for the super-rich Chang Kang, it is even more surprising.
He photographed the first place for the commercial moon landing, and he still used as much as 10 billion to photograph it, in fact, it has two purposes.
First, he really wants to go to the moon to see, after all, the yearning for space, the yearning for the moon is what he has always dreamed of.
Second, that is, for the sake of business and reputation, for him, it is worth it to use 10 billion to shoot the first place on the moon can greatly increase his popularity.
】
According to his thoughts, he would have to wait a long, long time for him to land on the moon, but the result was ......
After reading the email early in the morning, he couldn't get excited.
You know, he watched the public video of the test flight of the space shuttle and armored spacesuit yesterday.
In particular, Zuo Dajun flew directly into space in an armored spacesuit, which made him excited.
He was even more excited to learn that he would wear an armored spacesuit and stay on the moon for three days.
After the mobilization meeting in the morning, the relevant personnel began to act in the afternoon.
The 51 people who landed on the moon were gathered together for training.
In the afternoon, the group participated in training on the common sense of moon landing, and in the evening, the group used the virtual solar system to practice operating armored spacesuits.
On the morning of the third day, a group of 51 people trained in indoor spacesuits and armored spacesuits.
The group was divided into several groups, and one by one flew into space through the beam channel.
However, they did not fly too high, and they moved within an altitude of 500 kilometers.
After participating in this training, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming did not participate, and the next training only needs to participate in a simulated moon landing in the virtual solar system.
That night, while the others were continuing their training, the two of them arrived in the control hall of the control center of the test airport.
A Black Wither and two White Goose shuttles loaded with the first supplies will fly to the moon tonight.
Among the first batch of supplies is a set of energy storage stations composed of super batteries, which can be charged over long distances through the SS-defense system.
The total mass of this energy storage station alone reached 1,800 tons, and it required a space shuttle Black Wither and a space shuttle White Goose to load it.
As for the other White Goose space shuttle, it will be loaded with 60 humanoid robots, and the related equipment, such as small electric forklifts, ground drilling equipment, various instruments, etc., add up to 800 tons.
Three shuttles are already being prepared at the test airfield.
In the control hall, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, Bao Qizheng and others sat in the visiting area.
They didn't just come here to see it, they were going to get involved.
For example, after the three space shuttles land on the moon, they will control humanoid robots to help unload cargo.
You know, this humanoid robot is different from last time.
This time, the humanoid robot is not only equipped with a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, but also equipped with a pair of wings.
Now, on Earth, relying only on the energy it carries, the humanoid release robot can fly 20 kilometers, and even farther on the moon, in space......
Fan Xiaoming glanced at the big screen, and saw that the time had not yet come, so he whispered to Bao Qizheng who was sitting next to him: "Not bad!" In two days, you were able to create these flying humanoid robots, which is fast enough. ”
"To tell you the truth, the design has been there for a long time, and I don't know how many times it has been simulated in the virtual solar system, plus the manufacturing capacity of the Tamu Gobi, it is not strange that it was completed so quickly." Bauchi is saying.
"That's right! The capabilities of the Tam-Gobi are slowly beginning to emerge. Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "Don't look at how much money we have invested in the Tamu Gobi, just calculate, so far, the funds invested in the Tamu Gobi have exceeded three trillion, if it doesn't work again, it will be too pit." ”
Su Zhe nodded with a smile and said, "With the improvement of the Tamu Gobi industry, it will only become stronger and stronger. ”
"Yes!" Xu Zhengping smiled and nodded, "That's right!" After the moon landing, when the moon is built a permanent base, the light pillar project will also be carried out simultaneously, as long as the energy problem is solved, then our capital expenditure will be much less, and we can still sell energy to make money. ”
