Chapter 104: What is it like to drive a Gundam on the Moon?

He Xiao personally piloted the Yuegong-2 lunar module and landed accurately at the Hawk Island base on the moon, at this time the landing site of the Hawker Island base has been artificially renovated and buffer facilities have been laid, which can slow down the impact of the spacecraft landing, and thus allow heavier spacecraft to land.

This time, the Yuegong-2 lunar module weighed 72 tons when fully loaded, which was more than 5 times that of the Apollo system lunar module, so the number of people carried at a time also reached 12, and the number of people who landed on the moon was directly increased from the original 18 to 30.

The number of people who have landed on the moon twice on Hawk Island has reached 18, exceeding the 12 people who have landed on the moon six times in the history of the United States......

Even if the Artemis III of the United States is about to be launched, it will not be surpassing if 4 astronauts can land on the moon by then.

He Xiao put on a spacesuit and was the first to open the hatch, becoming the 19th human in the history of Blue Star to land on the surface of the moon, which was not an adventure for him.

His entry ability can test the reliability of each spacecraft, such as compiling an entry to detect a failure, and judging the reliability of the spacecraft and the possibility of failure by comparing the changes in the number of readers, which is more accurate than manual detection, which is also the reason for the extremely high success rate of the Hawk Island rocket launch.

The vast space, the towering craters, and the desolate and uneven lunar surface are really shocking to see with your own eyes.

Of course, he was definitely going to try the Adventurer 1, and with the assistance of other astronauts, he managed to get into the inner cabin of the Adventurer 1.

Due to its limited carrying capacity, the size of the Adventurer 1 is not very large, far from the height of tens of meters in the fantasy works, it stands only eight meters high, slightly fat, and weighs 28 tons.

The main body is not made of steel or titanium alloy, but high-strength aluminum-lithium alloy and carbon fiber materials, which are commonly used in spacecraft, mainly to reduce weight, on the one hand, to reduce the launch cost, on the other hand, to make it have stronger athletic ability.

In a sense, the Adventurer-1 can also be regarded as a manned spacecraft, with its own internal feeding system, which can isolate radiation and maintain a constant temperature.

The main power is the current four state-of-the-art hydrogen-oxygen engines on Hawk Island, which have been upgraded with Fuso technology, with a total of 950 horsepower, which is slightly higher than the tanks of the same tonnage on the Blue Star, but due to the gravitational pull of the moon, its athletic ability is by no means comparable to that of bulky tanks!

He Xiao put on a helmet with brain-computer interface technology and began to control Adventurer-1 to walk on the moon.

At first, he was not proficient, because children learn to walk, if it weren't for the Adventurer-1's own balance system, it is estimated that it would have fallen several times, but he soon mastered the control skills.

It is his own imagination in his brain what action he makes, and the Adventurer No. 1 will receive the brain signals and make the same movements, and it will even evaluate and optimize these brain signals to make more standard and smooth movements.

What is it like to fly a Gundam on the Moon?

One word, it's cool!

In order to reduce the pressure on the lunar surface, the paws of the Adventurer-1 were made particularly large, more than 1.5 meters, which looked very impressive.

Especially when it runs and jumps......

Because the Moon's gravitational pull is so small, it is able to run 60 yards and jump up to 6 meters......

A 28-ton monster with such strong athletic ability is so crazy that it will never be possible to do it on the Blue Star.

Of course, the high-strength carbon fiber material used in its key parts is also the key, which is a high-tech material that is systematically deduced, of course, it is not out of nowhere, but according to the improvement and upgrading of the Hawk Island aerospace carbon fiber material......

Aluminum-lithium alloy also uses a special process, which is 30% stronger than the general aerospace aluminum-lithium alloy, which is also a technology deduced by the system......

Now this technology can be applied to spacecraft in reverse, but the cost is slightly higher, and it needs to be slightly reduced......

Compared with the wheeled lunar rover, a big advantage of the adventurer-1 is climbing, its forelimbs are strong and powerful mechanical arms, which can penetrate the lunar soil or jam the moon rock, and pull the whole body up, of course, this is also thanks to the low gravity of the moon, and if the 28-ton monster wants to do this on the blue star, the power and material strength must be increased by at least five times, otherwise the body may be split directly......

He Xiao drove the Adventurer 1 and ran to his heart's content in the Rainbow Valley, leaving a line of giant footprints on the lunar soil!

It was his lost youth......

Ahem, the style of painting doesn't seem right......

Immediately afterwards, he climbed a small crater at a height of 2,000 meters, and sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain.

Because the moon has no atmosphere, it is the boundless dark space, and the stars can be faintly visible during the day, the dazzling sun is on the "horizon", and the blue star is a blue and white behemoth that is more dazzling than the sun, with the unique landform of the moon, it is extremely shocking.

Not enough energy! Please return to the base immediately to replenish your energy! ……】

Suddenly, a mechanical sound sounded, it was the Adventurer No. 1 that was hungry, and reminded He Xiao to take it home for dinner......

Of course, in fact, it is not so urgent, just like the knife electric car, it is said that there is no power, but in fact there is a reserved space, "you can run five kilometers without power", this is done to prevent emergencies, resulting in the inability to return to the base.

Although the Adventurer 1 also has solar cells, the power is too small and it is impossible to carry a large number of lithium batteries, so if the hydrogen energy runs out, the driver can only call for help......

Isotope decay nuclear batteries are not really nuclear batteries, they are mainly superior to longevity and stability, and they cannot be the power source of large men such as mobile armor.

In fact, there are already nuclear power engines on the Blue Star, which are essentially atomic fission reactors, but because the volume of the reactor is too large, the amount of cooling water required is huge, so it can only be applied to aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.

If it is miniaturized, it has always been a difficult technology to be applied to equipment such as trains, automobiles, and spacecraft, and it is even considered impossible.

As for fusion nuclear power, it is necessary to develop controlled nuclear fusion first......

He Xiao used the entry to test nuclear-powered rockets], and the description guaranteed safety and gave it a carrying capacity of about 3 times more than ordinary rockets, and the difficulty of the result was 87 million readers.

This difficulty, with the influence of He Xiao and Hawk Island now, is possible to complete, but it will take a long time, and the fake is fake after all, so the entry task must be solved quickly, and if it drags on for too long, there may be accidents, such as attracting the attention of many professionals, then it will definitely fail.

It can be dismantled to further miniaturize existing nuclear reactors and improve cooling technology......

And controllable nuclear fusion], the difficulty of this entry at the beginning was the requirement of 540 million readers, and after He Xiao made the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, the difficulty dropped a little and became the requirement of 510 million readers......

There is still a long way to go!

But think about it, if controlled nuclear fusion is studied, then the whole world will be completely changed, interstellar flight will become possible, and even the transformation of the Moon and Mars will not be difficult......

Almost unlimited energy is enough for an entire civilization to upgrade directly.
