PS: I wish you all a happy and happy New Year, a happy family, and all good health!

The letter does not end here, and at the back of the paper, there are some examples and examples about the impact of the development of the aerospace field on real technology.

Take Honeywell, for example, a Fortune 500 company that developed in the process of space exploration. Guidance and navigation systems, spacecraft and satellite control systems, display systems, and many other aspects have lit up the human technology tree.

In the aerospace system, the familiar 'ring laser gyroscope' was developed by Honeywell.

For space exploration, spacecraft need to accurately measure and control their position, speed, and direction, whether on a space exploration mission near Earth, the Moon, other planets, or beyond.

The navigation system is a key tool used to achieve this goal, helping the spacecraft determine its current position and velocity, and calculating the attitude adjustments that need to be made to meet the mission requirements.

In the navigation system, how to measure angular velocity, direction of rotation, positioning one's own posture and so on are undoubtedly the most critical issues.

The gyroscope is to solve this problem, and its emergence has greatly improved the aerospace field, and also made stable navigation the key to being able to accurately actuarial through computers.

After quickly browsing the letter in his hand, Yuan Zhouli folded it up and put it back on the desk.

On the other side, the old man smiled and asked, "How is it?" How do you feel after reading it. ”

Yuan Zhouli pondered for a moment, a little unsure of what this person thought of the letter.

After thinking about it seriously and organizing the language, he said cautiously: "It is undeniable that with the changes of the times, space has indeed become one of the important strategic development objects in the future. ”

"And the moon is an important outpost for us to go into space, and whoever can establish a base on the moon first will have a head start in this competition."

"Just."

After a slight pause, he looked at the old man and said cautiously: "It's just that this plan, will it be a little too advanced?" ”

From the Earth's biosphere project to the lunar biosphere project, the span and difficulty of the project are unimaginable. Even if the power of the whole world is gathered, this project will probably take at least five to ten years.

However, he was quite impressed by that person's suggestion.

Not only is aerospace indeed the direction of future strategic development and deployment, but the plan proposed in this biosphere project plan to take China as the dominant position and work with other countries to develop the lunar surface together is worthy of their careful and serious consideration.

As the man wrote at the beginning of the letter, it is foreseeable that space will undoubtedly be the future of China and the future of mankind.

This is a change of times, a turning point in fate, if they can stand in a leading position in this change, there is no doubt that the future will be theirs.

On the other side, the old man smiled and said, "It's a little ahead, but I still have confidence in Academician Xu's research, and I can seriously consider it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "After you go back, you will organize a meeting of experts in the corresponding fields from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering to discuss and study the feasibility and impact of the lunar biosphere project." ”

The lunar biosphere project does sound quite outrageous, but the letter sent from that man's hand seems to have a reassuring magic.

From the reuse of nuclear waste, to controlled nuclear fusion technology, to miniaturized fusion reactors and aerospace engines, he has solved one problem after another that in the past seemed almost impossible to solve in this era.

It seems that as long as he makes a move, there is nothing that cannot be done.

This brilliant achievement alone deserves their support.

On the other side, Yuan Zhouli's eyes couldn't help but move when he heard the old man's words, and he immediately replied respectfully: "I know." ”

I have to say that his current status in China is really unique.

The lunar biosphere project, which is advanced, and even outrageous to some extent, would probably be rejected directly if it was proposed by other scholars.

Now, the meaning of the top management is to conduct a feasibility study, and even from the words of this adult, there is a faint hint that the state will fully support it.

It can be said that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, throughout the more than 70 years, there is really no second person who can have such prestige and status.

Of course, theoretically, the lunar biosphere project is also a worthwhile project.

Not only the value brought by the field of scientific research, but also the combination of the forces of all countries and regions in the world, so that China occupies a leading position in the future space development, is worthy of their support.

At the same time, the other side.

Xinghai Research Institute, in Xu Chuan's office, footsteps sounded outside the door.

After a while, there was a crisp knock on the door twice, and then, Weng Yunzong, who managed the Aerospace Research Institute, walked in and greeted him respectfully: "Academician Xu, are you looking for me?" ”

After the successful completion of the Xinghai manned lunar landing project, he also returned to the Aerospace Research Institute from the Xiashu Space Base to preside over the internal work.

In the office, Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand, pushed over a plan document on the table, and said, "Well, you take a look at this first." ”

"Okay."

Hearing this, Weng Yunzong nodded, and after answering, he reached out and picked up the plan document from the desk and flipped through it.

"The development and integration of lunar resources?"

After briefly flipping through the report documents in his hand, he subconsciously looked at Xu Chuan, who was sitting behind the desk, and couldn't help asking, "Is it a little too early to prepare to mine minerals on the moon now?" ”

Xu Chuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not early." ”

"The development of lunar resources is a matter of time, whether it is helium-three, or titanium, or precious water resources, we need it."

"More critically, the resources on the lunar surface are finite relative to the Earth. And these resources are not evenly distributed on the moon, rich in some places and scarce in others. ”

"Especially the ice resources that we have detected before, we have mined a little less. Preparing in advance and occupying these areas of enrichment can also save a lot of time for subsequent space development. ”

Weng Yunzong smiled bitterly and said: "But we are only now able to complete the manned lunar landing project, and we have not even established a lunar base, so we have set our sights on the mineral deposits on the moon. Too difficult? ”

It is undeniable that the manned landing of Xinghai on the moon was indeed a success, they not only successfully sent their own astronauts to the moon, but even rescued two NASA astronauts along the way.

But no matter how you look at it, there is still a long way to go from the mining of lunar mineral deposits.

Not to mention the rest, at least you have to build a lunar base first, right?

When there is no moon base, to talk about the mining of lunar mineral deposits, this step is a little too big, right?

Behind the desk, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is the purpose of my search for you." ”

"One of the purposes of our moon landing is for all kinds of minerals on the moon, and there are plans in the plan report in your hand. Moreover, the construction of the lunar base and the mining of lunar minerals can be carried out simultaneously. But that's going to require you to do the work. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "You also know very well that in the low-gravity and atmosphere-free environment on the lunar surface, it is unrealistic to artificially mine deposits to build a base. ”

"In this case, I need a series of intelligent equipment to replace manual labor."

"For example, the intelligent equipment used in lunar mineral mining, the intelligent engineering vehicle for transporting mineral deposits, the supporting intelligent refining plant and so on."

"These things will be one of the next tasks on the side of the Space Research Institute, and I need you to allocate some of your energy, or recommend or find a reliable person to preside over these tasks."
