Xu Yun didn't feel strange about receiving the news from Zhou Mingwei.

Whether the other party wants to inquire about the research and development progress of the quantum repeater, or there are problems to be solved on the side of the manned space project, this is related to whether the adjusted manned lunar landing program can be successfully implemented.

There is no room for sloppiness.

As collaborators, it is normal for the two sides to communicate from time to time.

So after Xu Yun roughly arranged the work of the Quantum Information Technology Research Institute, he set off for the Imperial Capital Aerospace Science and Technology Group.

I'm going to go over and see how it goes.

Since learning that Zhou Mingwei decided to maximize the use of the lunar rover and did not hesitate to adjust the moon landing plan for this purpose, Xu Yun has also been looking forward to it, and also hopes to see the Chinese people build their own lunar base and realize the great dream of flying to the moon for 5,000 years.

What's more, lunar resources are indispensable for the development of human civilization.

Only by establishing a base first can a crucial step be taken to pave the way for the exploitation of lunar resources.

……

Xu Yun was quite surprised that when he landed on time and came out of the airport, he saw that it was Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng who came to pick him up.

You must know that human spaceflight can face a lot of task pressure.

As the chief designers, the two of them should be very busy at this time.

Being able to deliberately take the time to pick him up is enough to show that he attaches great importance to him.

However, this made him a little embarrassed, and after the three of them converged, Xu Yun hurriedly said: "How can you bother the two academicians to come over in person, now the burden on your shoulders is not light." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Mingwei and the two hurriedly waved their hands.

"This time, we suddenly called Academician Xu over, if we let someone else pick it up, it would be even more unpleasant."

"The car is in front, it's ready." Zhang Feng took the opportunity to take Zhou Mingwei's words and echoed the sentence.

Seeing the sincerity on the faces of the two, Xu Yun naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he followed the two to the parking place.

Not much.

When the three of them got into the special car and drove to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group by the driver, the atmosphere in the car fell into a short silence, as if they couldn't find a suitable topic, and no one dared to speak and talk.

Although Zhou Mingwei deliberately asked Xu Yun for help this time, he must be embarrassed to be too direct in the car.

After a little hesitation, I finally found a random topic.

Be the first to break the silence.

"Academician Xu, I heard that the project of your Institute of Quantum Information Technology is progressing smoothly, I don't know what the situation is now?"

Although Zhang Feng next to him did not speak, he also set his eyes on Xu Yun after hearing this.

It can be seen that he is also curious about this answer.

Who made quantum technology also a link in the manned lunar landing project.

is essential.

Originally, Xu Yun wanted to wait for the quantum repeater to be researched and confirmed to ensure quantum communication between the earth and the moon, and then announce the good news to Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng.

But now that Zhou Mingwei has taken the initiative to ask, there is no need to continue to conceal it.

It's a good thing to celebrate, anyway.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun immediately told the truth: "It's not a secret that we have just developed a new quantum material, which is enough to solve the problems in quantum information technology if nothing else." When he said this, his face remained calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

However, the speaker had no intention of listening, and when this sentence reached the ears of Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, it instantly seemed like someone had thrown a big stone in their hearts.

Shocked.

Although Xu Yun was calm when he said this, they knew very well the value of it.

New quantum materials.

Solve the current problems of quantum information technology.

If any piece is put to the outside world, I am afraid it will cause an uproar.

When Zu Chongzhi's No. 3 quantum computer came out, the number of tens of thousands of qubits shocked the world.

It marks the first time that mankind has real quantum computing power.

So much so that all regions of the world had to relent, choosing to join the Quantum Global Alliance, just to be able to use the quantum computer cloud platform.

It is conceivable that if this new material really has such a great effect, the computing power of quantum computers will be improved, and it is not surprising that quantum communication networks will be fully deployed in China.

Information security will no longer be an issue.

On the contrary, the rest of the overseas will not pose a threat.

They have not heard the slightest news or rumors of such a major scientific research achievement.

If they hadn't asked Xu Yun for help this time because of the project, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known.

In addition, they did not have any doubts about what Xu Yun said.

After all, not to mention what they know about Xu Yun, there is no point in exaggerating the facts at such a time.

"This is definitely the best news I have heard in recent times, and Academician Xu's research in the quantum field has not disappointed."

Zhou Mingwei's face was full of smiles at this time, and he was very happy to say this, and Zhang Feng's excited voice came immediately after saying this: "In this way, it will not be a problem to realize quantum communication between the ground and the moon, so I am more confident in the implementation of the manned lunar landing plan." ”

Just when Zhang Feng was immersed in this great joy, Zhou Mingwei thought of another thing.

He clearly remembered that it seemed that Xu Yun had only taken over the Institute of Quantum Information Technology for more than two months, and Pan Xiaozhi had not said anything new to study quantum materials before that.

In other words, this new quantum material is the result of Xu Yun's research in just two months.

Even if he knew that Xu Yun's talent was amazing, he couldn't help but turn up the waves in his heart in the face of this kind of thing that was enough to shock his jaw.

It can be said that it has exceeded the cognition of normal scientists.

Looking at the entire materials industry, who would dare to say that a new type of material can be researched in two months.

Not to mention the quantum realm.

With this kind of achievement in his body, he immediately did not feel that there was anything wrong with the academicians of the two academies and the highest science and technology awards.

Indeed, it is well deserved.

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Thinking quickly about these contents in his mind, after temporarily suppressing the stunned in his heart, his mind suddenly became active.

Inviting Xu Yun over this time was indeed a tricky problem in the project.

For this reason, a number of academicians and researchers held a meeting to discuss, but in the end they did not come up with a plan that satisfied everyone.

In this case, there must be no delay, otherwise there will be an impact on other projects.

Thinking that Xu Yun designed such a superior lunar rover, he planned to listen to Xu Yun's opinion, and maybe he could come up with a plan that everyone agreed on.

Originally, he planned to go back to the institute to talk about this matter, but Xu Yun's news just now made him change his mind.

Now that the quantum information that Xu Yun is responsible for is progressing so fast, it seems that they are dragging their feet.

As the chief designer of this project, it is absolutely false to say that he is not in the slightest eagerness in his heart, and where can he still take care of his superiors at such a time, he must act quickly when he should ask others for advice.

It was a waste of time.

So when the conversation between Xu Yun and Zhang Feng ended, he hurriedly inserted a new topic.

"Academician Xu."

"Inviting you over this time is actually a problem with the project, and I want to ask you for advice."

Get straight to the point.

Zhang Feng saw Zhou Mingwei say this matter directly, and immediately took over the conversation and added.

"We have been discussing this project for a few days, and we can't decide on a suitable plan for a long time, and I think this matter can only be solved by you, Xu Yuan." Speaking of the back, there was a little bitterness on his face.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that their family, as the chief designer of the manned space project, has problems in their own project, but they have to find others to discuss solutions.

It's a bit like they're limited in level.

But in fact, they are indeed inferior to Xu Yun, so it is not a shame to ask Xu Yun for help.

What's more, this is also a joint adoption by many people in the institute.

Xu Yun basically guessed Zhou Mingwei's purpose when he came, so he was not surprised to hear this sentence now.

Just asked about the specific situation with a calm face.

"I don't know what kind of project it is?"

"It's about the construction plan of the lunar base, and it can be said that it is a headache to think about these days." Zhou Mingwei naturally didn't dare to hide anything at this time, even if he told the specific situation.

Listening to all these words, Xu Yun nodded in understanding.

The construction plan of the lunar base is undoubtedly very important, which is related to the safety of astronauts.

In order to ensure that astronauts live safely on the moon and carry out scientific experiments and explorations normally, the base where they live is their greatest guarantee on the moon.

It really needs to be carefully considered.

It is necessary to anticipate the various situations that may arise on the moon and determine that the base has the corresponding countermeasures.

Zhou Mingwei and the others have not been able to determine the base construction plan for a long time, which is a good thing.

It shows that everyone is very responsible.

If the plan is determined to be implemented casually, I am afraid that even if the base is built, I will not dare to send astronauts.

In the following time, Xu Yun got more detailed content from Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, and basically had a rough judgment of the current situation.

The lunar base has always been a hot topic in academic research, from academicians to undergraduates, all of whom have designed a variety of different lunar base programs.

But either there are loopholes, or it is too difficult to build.

Not enough to be included in a formal programme.

In order to determine a suitable plan as soon as possible, Zhou Mingwei deliberately drew his strength to set up a special project team.

Everybody's job is to design a lunar base.

During this time, they solicited many versions of the proposal, and finally selected three of them.

Although these options also have some problems, they can be called good.

It's just that there is a disagreement on how to determine the final one from these three options.

So much so that it has not been determined to this day.

"We have now produced our first lunar rover, and it is performing very well in all aspects, and if nothing else, the first test flight of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle will carry the lunar rover to the lunar surface."

"If the matter of the lunar base cannot be resolved for a long time, then the follow-up work cannot be carried out."

Zhou Mingwei and Xu Yun added after talking about the situation, and they did not hide the worry in their pupils when they spoke.

There is no doubt that he very much hopes to see the day when the manned lunar landing project Jackie Chan is realized, no matter how hard he works for this dream, since he has chosen to believe in Xu Yun now, he will definitely not have any reservations.

Xu Yun must be confident in what he designed, and he was not surprised by Zhou Mingwei's surprise.

However, since Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng have found themselves, the matter about the lunar base must be resolved.

It's really not a big deal to use the scientific simulator again, or turn on the brain overclocking, and work out the most suitable plan for building a lunar base.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun cleared his throat and said, "Then let's wait until we go to the place and look at those plans." ”

At the moment, he has not seen the content of those lunar base plans, and he must not be able to answer.

Whatever you ultimately choose, it will have to wait until the research is done.

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Mingwei naturally had no objection to Xu Yun's answer, but responded twice with some excitement.

Although Zhang Feng next to him no longer spoke, the smile on his face became more and more vigorous.

Since seeing the strength of the new generation of lunar rovers designed by Xu Yun, he has an indescribable trust in Xu Yun.

There are so many unsolved lunar bases by academicians and professors, but he thinks that it is not a problem here in Xu Yun.

After saying this, there was silence in the car again, until the vehicle drove into the Lunar Base Research Institute of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.

Zhou Mingwei, who couldn't wait for a long time, led Xu Yun towards the conference room as soon as he got out of the car.

And let people prepare in the conference room in advance.

Perhaps because Xu Yun's fame is too great, and he has just won the highest science and technology award, several academicians and professors who got the news also rushed over as soon as possible.

Want to see what the final lunar base scenario will look like.

They are also very much looking forward to this.

After all, inviting Xu Yun to come over to solve the lunar base plan was originally a decision passed by everyone.

……

Not much.

Under the guidance of Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, Xu Yun came to the conference room.

Originally, Zhang Feng proposed that Xu Yunzhou go to rest first after a tiring car, which also made Zhou Mingwei react and blame himself for not thinking about it.

It's just that Xu Yun shook his head and refused.

It can be seen that Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng attach great importance to this matter, and there are so many people waiting for him in the conference room, how can there be any reason to hang everyone there.

Besides, it's just flying, and there's no fatigue.

In addition, with the mood of Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, this will make them calm and not calm down at all.

It's better to settle the business first, so that you can return from dealing with this side of the matter earlier.

The people who were sitting in the conference room waiting, after seeing Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng pushing the door in, immediately stood up and looked over.

Of all the people present, absolutely no one dared to despise Xu Yun.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingwei hurriedly said: "In the past few days, everyone has been bothering about the construction plan of the lunar base, but the time left for us is really not long, so I specially invited Academician Xu to come over to help." ”

"Warm welcome, everybody."

As the words fell, he took the lead in applauding, and suddenly there was warm applause in the conference room.

Xu Yun didn't expect Zhou Mingwei to be so grand, which can be said to give him enough face.

It's a bit embarrassing if we don't properly solve the problem of the moon base.

After about four or five seconds, when the sound of applause gradually disappeared, Xu Yun took a step forward, still maintaining his usual style and modestly expressing his attitude to everyone.

"The two chief engineers invited me here this time to determine the construction plan for the lunar base as soon as possible, and I hope that all of us can communicate with each other to solve this problem."

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yun did not sit on the main seat in the middle after saying this.

Instead, he left the main seat to Zhou Mingwei, and he sat on the right-hand side.

The main thing is that he was invited over this time, even if he needs to play a decisive role in this matter, it is not good to directly occupy Zhou Mingwei's identity.

After all, the other party is the chief designer.

Speaking of which, Zhou Mingwei must have hoped that Xu Yun would sit in the main seat, who asked him to put all his hopes on Xu Yun.

But seeing Xu Yun take the lead in sitting down on his right hand, he had to give up for the time being.

As for Zhang Feng, he didn't mean to sit down, but walked to the smart screen in front of the conference room, and as the keynote speaker, he introduced the three preliminarily determined plans for Xu Yun.

"Let's get started."

Soon, as Zhou Mingwei opened his mouth, Zhang Feng no longer continued to delay time.

Immediately explained in turn.

Although Xu Yun has not officially participated in the lunar base project, he has also studied privately out of interest before, and most of the majors involved are also in his field of expertise.

So he was very careful when he listened, and at the same time he quickly made a lot of analysis calculations in his head.

Help yourself determine the most suitable plan for building a lunar base.

In this way, as the minutes and seconds passed, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

And Xu Yun can also be said to have a basic understanding of the three plans that have been retained.

One of the options is more daring, choosing to build a base on the surface of the moon and arrange various facilities, but this is equivalent to exposing the base to various shocks in the universe.

If the building materials are not upgraded, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the base.

The other option, although built inside the moon, is too difficult to implement and still faces great technical challenges.

However, for the last plan, Xu Yun feels that it is extremely feasible.

There is a lava cavern inside the moon, and if you use a lunar robot to detect the specific location and then bombard the object from a high altitude, you can get a space suitable for the construction of the base.

At that time, it is even possible to directly build a dedicated core module ship and let it land in a lava tube to act as the core of the base.

And with the capabilities of the lunar rover, it is enough for later construction.

Although it is quite difficult to complete this project, it is even necessary to overcome some technology.

But for now, the lava tube lunar base is indeed the most suitable and promising solution.

At the same time, when Xu Yun was thinking about these in his mind, Zhou Mingwei's voice finally sounded in his ears.

"Academician Xu, I don't know what you think of these plans?"

When this question was asked, Zhou Mingwei was also quite nervous, for fear that Xu Yun would veto all three plans.

If this is the case, the new moon landing project will definitely need to be postponed.

That's something that no one wants.

Xu Yun naturally wouldn't sell Guan Zi in this regard, and after a slight pause, he opened his mouth to tell his choice.

"I think building a lunar base in a lunar lava tube is the most suitable and feasible option at the moment."
