Chapter 359: The Decision of the Space Office
Zhang Feng was testing the lunar rover in the simulation environment laboratory, and although he was a little confused about his eagerness after receiving the notice, he still handed over the work at hand to the people below to be responsible, and hurriedly left for Zhou Mingwei's office.
Although he has made a promise, as long as Xu Yun's design is better, he will take the initiative to abolish the current design of the lunar rover.
But I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was impossible to do it.
Therefore, the tests on the lunar rover will definitely continue.
You can't just stop and delay the progress because of Xu Yun's words.
After all, if Xu Yun's design plan does not meet the requirements, the current lunar rover will continue to be used.
In addition, he is also very confident in the lunar rover he designed, which is enough to complete the manned mission to the moon.
Not much.
When Zhang Feng came to the door of Zhou Mingwei's office alone, he immediately raised his hand and knocked on the door without hesitation, and only pushed the door in until a familiar voice came from inside.
"Come in."
"Is something wrong with calling me over in such a hurry?" Zhang Feng came to the desk and stopped, and asked Zhou Mingwei about the situation in a slightly anxious tone.
He knew very well that Zhou Mingwei knew that he was working today, and according to normal circumstances, if there was no emergency, he would not have called him back in such a hurry.
And if Zhou Mingwei can be anxious, the problem will definitely not be small.
If something really goes wrong with the project, it's not up to anyone to take the blame.
In particular, if it affects the planning of the manned lunar landing project, the situation will be beyond the controllable range.
As the chief designer of the manned space project, he must not let this situation appear in front of him.
Therefore, thinking about solving the problem quickly, Zhang Feng was so eager.
Zhou Mingwei raised his eyes and saw Zhang Feng's figure, and hurriedly beckoned the other party to sit down on the sofa next to him.
"Sit down first, let's sit down."
Although Zhang Feng couldn't wait for a second at the moment, he hesitated a little in the face of Zhou Mingwei's words and chose to do it. It's just that as soon as the butt touched the sofa, he couldn't wait to say: "Is there something wrong with the project, I will personally bring someone over to deal with it." ”
"It's not what you think, it's a good thing to have you here." Zhou Mingwei raised his hand to signal Zhang Feng.
Let them calm down first.
As this sentence reached his ears, Zhang Feng was even more surprised.
"A good thing?"
He repeated these two words in a soft whisper, his eyes full of puzzles.
He really couldn't imagine that there could be anything good at this time, and it was worth Zhou Mingwei calling him so eagerly.
The thought stayed here, and he subconsciously blurted out, "What's the good thing?" ”
I couldn't help but lean forward a little.
Having said this, Zhou Mingwei no longer sold Guanzi, and immediately told Xu Yun about the design drawings.
"Just now, I received a document from Academician Xu, which contains the design drawings of the new generation of lunar rover."
"What?"
"He's done!?" Zhang Feng stood up from the sofa suddenly, and his whole face was instantly full of surprise.
It's as if a few words were written on it.
Unbelievable.
You must know that today is only the third day, strictly speaking, Xu Yun will submit the design plan tomorrow, and the design will be completed one day ahead of schedule.
What does this mean?
Obviously, when Xu Yun released this promise before, he didn't take the situation here to heart at all.
"It's only been more than two days, how did he do it alone......
"Could it be that the level of this program is limited......
At this moment, Zhang Feng was thinking about this matter in his mind, and he never believed that Xu Yun could get up and complete the plan easily, mainly in his opinion, this was not something that one person could complete at all.
Under the high-speed operation of his thinking, a relatively bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
That is, doubting the content of the program.
If Xu Yun completed the design plan at the last moment of time, then he would think that Xu Yun was really doing it with his heart, but now it is difficult not to let people think about it.
Perhaps the reason why Xu Yun was able to complete the plan ahead of schedule was because the content value of the plan was limited.
The premise for him to give up the current lunar rover design plan is that Xu Yun's plan is better than his plan, but if it is just a garbage plan that is completed casually, it is naturally impossible for him to look sideways.
So then he hurriedly asked Zhou Mingwei: "The other party has really completed the design drawings of the lunar rover?" ”
"What level of content can I achieve?"
In the face of Zhang Feng's second question, Zhou Mingwei, who was sitting opposite, looked a little complicated at the moment, and didn't know how to explain.
"You'd better see for yourself." He paused for two seconds before throwing out this sentence, and then thought of something and instructed: "It's best to be mentally prepared first." ”
After speaking, he used the equipment next to him to call up the plan sent by Xu Yun.
Listening to Zhou Mingwei's words, Zhang Feng was only slightly stunned and immediately returned to normal.
Obviously I don't think this plan can be very impressive.
Without saying anything more, he immediately focused on carefully examining the design drawings.
Seeing Zhang Feng's movements, Zhou Mingwei shook his head, then got up to busy his work, and did not deliberately disturb Zhang Feng, who was immersed in it.
Then a special figure appeared in his office.
I saw Zhang Feng's eyes staring at the screen in front of him, as if all his attention was attracted by the plan, and the expression on his face changed rapidly, from calm disdain at the beginning to being completely shocked at the end.
If you look closely, you will see that even the body is trembling slightly, as if you have discovered something extraordinary.
There was no disdain.
I don't know how long it has been, but I saw Zhang Feng come back to his senses, and raised his eyes with a complicated face to look at Zhou Mingwei in the office.
Xia Si was extremely excited: "This design plan is simply fantastic, if we build a lunar rover according to this plan, not to mention improving the success rate of our manned lunar landing project, maybe there is no problem in building our own lunar base in a short time." "The attitude shown at this moment is simply the same as just now.
Compared with Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng's research on the lunar rover undoubtedly has more say.
Although he still couldn't imagine how Xu Yun did it, he had to admit that this plan was indeed very amazing.
It is simply beyond the development of existing space technology.
As the deputy chief designer of the manned space project, his biggest goal is undoubtedly to see a manned landing on the moon.
As long as this can be achieved, let alone just abolish one of his designs.
Even if you don't have the deputy chief designer, it's no problem.
It can be said that if he had known that Xu Yun could come up with this plan, he would have been very happy to announce the abolition of the current lunar rover at that time.
Zhou Mingwei obviously knows his partner very well, and he didn't feel any surprise in the face of Zhang Feng's attitude at the moment.
"You should be able to see that the new generation of lunar rover designed by Academician Xu has already surpassed the functions of conventional lunar rover, and the technology mentioned in the plan is not a fake big air, according to our current strength, it can be developed."
When mentioning this to Zhang Feng, Zhou Mingwei did not hide the joy and excitement that appeared on his face.
You must know that no matter how advanced the design drawings are, if there is no matching basic technology, then even if you have detailed drawings, there is no way to manufacture them.
Or that it doesn't meet the performance it should have in the drawings.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the drawings designed by Xu Yun are raised to some higher levels, then even if they are very satisfied, there is no way to use them.
Thankfully, that doesn't exist in the current design drawings.
Relying on the strength of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, it will not take long to produce a new generation of lunar rover.
And Xu Yun's design drawings also let the two of them see a new opportunity.
That is an opportunity to speed up the development of space technology.
At this time, Zhang Feng took the lead and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and soon put forward new suggestions for this design plan.
"Academician Xu's plan has given me some new ideas, maybe we can first send a new generation of lunar rovers to the lunar surface through the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle and a lunar lander, and carry out environmental surveys of landing sites and even base establishment in advance."
As Zhang Feng finished saying this, the two people present couldn't help but become excited.
I could feel the blood in my chest as if it was boiling, and I seemed to have seen the picture of the Chinese people conquering the moon.
According to the previous plan of the manned space project, after the manned landing on the moon, an attempt will be made to establish a base on the moon, so that astronauts can live on the moon for a period of time.
In this way, various explorations and scientific experiments can be carried out to prepare for the possibility of exploiting the resources of the moon.
But now there is a new generation of lunar rover designed by Xu Yun, which can completely replace astronauts to build a lunar base.
And they are also much more efficient than astronauts.
As long as a few lunar rovers can be successfully sent to the surface of the moon, after being connected to the ground artificial intelligence, they can efficiently use limited resources and lunar terrain to build a human lunar base.
At that time, the manned mission to the moon will be equivalent to giving these astronauts a temporary place to stay.
Even if you don't return immediately, it's no problem.
I believe that if this goal can be achieved, it will definitely have a huge impact on the world.
Regarding the new plan proposed by Zhang Feng, Zhou Mingwei naturally thought about it.
However, there are still some problems.
For example, transporting a large number of lunar rovers and corresponding modules to the lunar surface requires frequent rocket launches, which consumes an absolutely astronomical amount of money, unless the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle can be recycled and refueled.
In addition, it is necessary to establish a stable network communication transmission between the ground and the moon to ensure the normal construction of the base.
The thought stayed here, and Zhou Mingwei said to Zhang Feng: "This is indeed a good opportunity for the development of our aerospace project, but in this way, it is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of the manned lunar landing project, and there is not much time left for us now." There was a clear tangle in the words, and it was clear that he had not yet made up his mind.
"Isn't it normal to have difficulties, who would have thought that we would be able to achieve a manned landing on the moon so soon."
"Don't forget that at the moment there is no country in the world that has been able to build a temporary base on the moon."
"If it succeeds, it will be a huge breakthrough for the entire human civilization." Zhang Feng still insisted on his own point of view, and in the end, he mentioned Xu Yun again: "Maybe we can have in-depth cooperation with Academician Xu." ”
After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Zhou Mingwei also suddenly fell into contemplation.
Xu Yunneng designed a new generation of lunar rover, which brought an opportunity for the rapid development of the aerospace industry.
Coupled with Xu Yun's previous achievements in various fields, if he can provide support in the manned space project, then he can indeed try to change the previous plan.
The lunar rover will be transported to the lunar surface to establish a temporary base, and then a manned landing on the moon will be carried out.
Of course, such a major matter cannot be decided by the two of them in a few words, and it is necessary to convene a meeting of the Manned Space Engineering Office to collectively discuss and apply to the above.
In addition, it is necessary to come up with a feasible implementation plan as soon as possible, so that Xu Yun can better join.
With his thinking running fast in his mind, it didn't take long for Zhou Mingwei to have a preliminary plan.
Then he stopped pacing back and forth in the office, turned around and faced Zhang Feng solemnly: "Come up with a feasible specific implementation plan as soon as possible, and I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter." ”
"I'll do it." Zhang Feng was overjoyed when he heard Zhou Mingwei's words.
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
I don't want to delay the slightest time.
Originally, with the gradual maturity of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle and the development of a new generation of manned spacecraft, they gradually became full of confidence in the planned manned lunar landing.
But with that comes a loss of the sense of urgency that it once had.
Now that the manned space project has ushered in an opportunity, they seem to be full of fighting spirit again.
How could the research of the moon base not be successful in such a state.
Soon accompanied Zhang Feng's figure completely disappeared in the office, and Zhou Mingwei picked up the phone on the desktop again and asked the staff to notify all departments to hold a meeting of all researchers.
This includes the Office of Manned Space Engineering, as well as the Aerospace Science and Technology Group and the launch site.
In addition to announcing the abolition of the current lunar rover program and adopting a new generation of lunar rover designed by Xu Yun, it is also to discuss the feasibility of a new manned lunar landing program.
……
I have to say that Zhou Mingwei really made up his mind this time, and within a few days, the conference was successfully held in the Manned Space Engineering Office. In addition to more than a dozen academicians and a large number of core-level researchers, the meeting was attended by the director of the Manned Space Engineering Office.
This kind of scene is not something that can be put together in ordinary times.
After all, there are multiple systems in it.
It is worth mentioning that being able to sit here and participate in this conference naturally has a very deep research in the field of aerospace.
It has made great contributions to the development of the aerospace industry.
Therefore, after seeing the new generation of lunar rover designed by Xu Yun, he was quickly shocked by the powerful performance, especially after hearing that this was a plan that Xu Yun completed in only three days, his face showed an extremely shocked look.
In addition, Xu Yun is now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as scientific research achievements in many fields.
With little effort, the entire crew approved the replacement of the design of the new generation of lunar rover.
And asked the Aerospace Science and Technology Group to start manufacturing immediately.
During the whole process, Zhang Feng and the team he led did not show any objections.
After all, they have already been convinced by Xu Yun's plan, so the previous efforts are basically in vain, but as long as they can see the development of the aerospace industry, it is worth it.
After solving the problem of replacing the old and new plans of the lunar rover, Zhou Mingwei finally mentioned the most important purpose of the conference.
"The new lunar rover developed by Academician Xu has far more functions than ordinary lunar rover, which is a very good opportunity for the development of our aerospace industry."
"In order to maximize the effect of the lunar rover, I propose to make adjustments to the next space mission."
"This is our initial adjustment plan."
On the stage, as Zhou Mingwei told everyone about this matter, an assistant immediately distributed this preliminary plan to everyone present.
In the following time, neither Zhou Mingwei nor Zhang Feng continued to express their positions.
Instead, it gives others time to digest the plan.
Perhaps they didn't expect Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng to have such a big appetite and actually wanted to build a lunar base in advance before landing on the moon, and soon there was a commotion in the venue.
It can be seen that many people are surprised by this adjustment plan.
Mainly in accordance with the current plan, the proceeds are carried out step by step, and with the newly replaced new-generation lunar rover, it will not even take two or three years to officially implement the manned lunar landing program.
And the probability of success is basically close to 100%.
However, if the new plan is adjusted, there is no guarantee what the final result will be.
Therefore, in the face of this adjustment plan, many people are very entangled.
I don't know if I should agree or not.
I don't know how long it has been, but a sudden voice on the podium finally broke the silence in the venue.
"How sure are you that you will control these new lunar rovers to build a temporary base on the moon?"
Hearing this, Zhou Mingwei hurriedly looked at it and found that it was Bai Ruisong, the director of the office, who raised this question, and hurriedly replied without hesitation: "With the ability of the new generation of lunar rover, it is possible to complete the construction of the temporary base by selecting the appropriate lunar terrain and adopting modular construction. ”
As soon as the words fell, in order to increase the persuasiveness, Zhou Mingwei followed up and added.
"In addition, we will also cooperate deeply with the Academy of Sciences, so that Academician Xu Yun and Xu will also participate in the technical overcoming."
Although Xu Yun has not yet been discussed about cooperation, at this moment, Zhou Mingwei can be said to have identified Xu Yun in his heart, and he must get the help of the other party to realize the adjusted manned lunar landing project.
Bai Ruisong was silent after listening to Zhou Mingwei's report, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
Make a trade-off between the two.
And at this moment, Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng are also very nervous, after all, if they don't get the support of the director, it is even more impossible to pass the application from above.
In this way, nearly half a minute passed, and Bai Ruisong made a decision to slowly raise his gaze.
