Chapter 373: Mozi II, the long-awaited launch

"This is not the first time we have experimented, take it easy, there will definitely be no problem." Xu Yun noticed Pan Xiaozhi's expression beside him, smiled and said.

Regarding the research of the quantum repeater in front of him, although he did not use external forces at all, Xu Yun was confident.

I am confident that the results of today's experiment will not disappoint.

Pan Xiaozhi raised his gaze a little embarrassed when he heard the voice: "I'm not worried that I won't be able to catch up with the first flight of the Long March 10." ”

Xu Yun naturally understood what Pan Xiaozhi meant, so he didn't continue to say anything.

Anyway, when the results of the experiment come out, I will naturally be relieved.

In fact, when the Manned Space Office determined the time of the first launch of the Long March 10, Zhou Mingwei took the initiative to ask how the research and development of the quantum repeater was.

The sooner the quantum communication network between the ground and the moon is covered, the sooner the construction of the lava tube cavern base can begin.

This is an indispensable part of the manned lunar landing.

It is normal for Zhou Mingwei to be anxious.

After all, after Xu Yun completed the optimization of the lunar base plan, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group has already started the drilling device, the transformation of the lunar rover for lunar soil processing, and the manufacturing of the core module of the base.

These projects are now on track.

It can be said that it is waiting for the quantum repeater.

And Xu Yun naturally did not disappoint the other party, and made it clear on the spot in the face of the inquiry.

It is guaranteed that the research and development and experiment of the Micius-2 quantum repeater will be completed before the first launch of the Long March 10.

It will be able to take the Long March 10 express train to the moon.

As for Micius-2, it was Xu Yun and Pan Xiaozhi who named their quantum repeater project.

As early as a few years ago, the relevant research institute has developed a quantum satellite and successfully launched and operated.

Its name is none other than Mozi No. 1.

For this reason, Xu Yuncai deliberately called the quantum repeater Micius-2.

However, it needs to be explained that the functions of Micius-2 are completely incomparable with the Micius-2 satellite.

"Xu Yuan Pan Yuan, all the work has been prepared, and the experiment can be started at any time."

At this time, as a staff member came over to report, Xu Yun's expression suddenly became serious.

Looking at the equipment weighing only about two hundred catties not far away, Xu Yun naturally didn't delay the time anymore, although he didn't turn around, his voice had already come out.

"Let's get started."

Compared with the traditional clumsy and heavy quantum repeater, the Micius-2 using a new type of quantum material is smart and lightweight, which is not only convenient for transportation and deployment, but also can be carried by the lunar lander.

It's about the same as a lunar rover in terms of weight.

After all, in a way, quantum repeaters are receiving devices.

It is guaranteed that the moon can receive quantum signals from the earth to complete various tasks.

The staff member got Xu Yun's order, and without any nonsense, he turned around and returned to his work and began to immediately carry out the experimental task.

At this moment, in addition to the quantum repeater, there is also a supercomputer redisplay interface with architecture.

The experiment officially began, and after the quantum repeater was activated, it would be connected to the Zu Chongzhi-4 quantum computer deployed in the imperial capital.

At the same time, the strength of the entanglement state of the quantum signal is tested, as well as the maximum distance that can be reached.

These data are all related to whether the connection between the earth and the moon can be realized.

If you think about it carefully, the test experiment of Zu Chongzhi's No. 4 quantum computer has only been too long, and there is really no pressure to conduct the experiment of the quantum repeater at the moment, and it is better to have a good mentality.

Although it is more certain to use brain overclocking and scientific simulators, Xu Yun still trusts his own strength.

After all, if his own ability does not reach the corresponding level, the points consumed to turn on brain overclocking are definitely a terrifying number.

You have to know that his ability to turn on overclocking costs are inversely proportional.

The stronger the ability, the less points will be consumed.

In this way, the person in charge of the experiment in the next time operated quickly, and his expression was very focused and serious.

Soon, the quantum communication docking between the quantum repeater and Zu Chongzhi-4 was successfully completed.

Xu Yun and Pan Xiaozhi did not leave an inch, and always stood here waiting for the final result.

The quantum repeater and Zu Chongzhi No. 4 are connected to each other, and with the blessing of powerful quantum general computing power and artificial intelligence, it does not take long to get the desired accurate data.

So you don't have to wait long.

I don't know how long it has been, but just when Pan Xiaozhi seemed to have some soreness in his legs and couldn't stand anymore, good news finally came to his ears.

"It worked."

"Xuyuan Panyuan, our Mozi-2 docking is smooth, and the strength of the quantum entanglement state is within the theoretical value."

"Based on previous deployment assumptions, it is sufficient for Earth-Moon quantum transmission."

The staff in charge of the specific experiment first shouted out with surprise on their faces, and then stood up abruptly and ran towards Xu Yun and Pan Xiaozhi.

Report back as you go.

He also had a freshly generated experiment report in his hand.

He did not hide the joy that his whole person showed from the inside out.

Whether it is Xu Yun or Pan Xiaozhi, they will definitely not blame a hard-working employee who is too happy and emotional, and at this moment, both of them have happy smiles on their faces.

In the end, Xu Yun took the lead in taking the report and lowered his eyes to check the information displayed on it.

"The performance is not bad, although it is a little worse than the ideal limit, but it is barely enough to meet the requirements of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group."

After saying this with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he handed the report to Pan Xiaozhi.

It seemed that Xu Yun's words were dissatisfied with Mozi No. 2's performance, but Pan Xiaozhi couldn't close his mouth with joy.

The smile on his face is almost substantial.

Others may not know about this data, but he knows very well that the research of Mozi 2 is definitely a real success.

It can fully meet the quantum communication network coverage between the Earth and the Moon.

"We lived up to expectations this time, and we can finally get a good night's sleep today."

Pan Xiaozhi handed the report back to the staff and gossiped with Xu Yun relaxedly.

I don't know how to do it, since Xu Yun easily solved the problems in the hospital, he, the dean, was pleasantly surprised, and now it is not for the new progress in research, and his sleep quality cannot be guaranteed.

Even if you believe in Xu Yun's ability, you still can't relax when you sleep.

Wake up at least a few times in the middle of the night.

Even if the physical fitness is strengthened after being inoculated with cell active agents, the situation still does not improve.

Xu Yun naturally knew about Pan Xiaozhi's situation, and couldn't help but make a joke when he heard this.

"Then it seems that I will have more scientific research results in the future, so that you can sleep well, dean."

"Then I can't ask for it." Pan Xiaozhi also responded with a smile.

The two of them have worked together so many times, and they can be said to be very familiar with each other, and they usually communicate more and more like friends, as if they have completely forgotten the age difference between the two people.

Then Pan Xiaozhi seemed to think of something, and asked, "Should we tell the space office the good news?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll contact Academician Zhou." Xu Yun nodded and said.

Although the specific launch time of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle has not yet been officially announced, it will definitely not be delayed until next year, which means that there will be three months at the longest when it is fully completed.

Since you want the Long March 10 to carry the Mozi 2, you must prepare in advance for docking.

In addition, with the quantum signal strength tested by Micius-2, in addition to the deployment on the lunar surface, it is also necessary to deploy the Lunar Mozi-2 quantum satellite and a large-scale quantum repeater receiving station on the ground.

Only in this way can the stable transmission of communication be ensured.

In this implementation scheme, only the lunar surface is the most technically difficult to deploy, and it also requires the help of a lunar lander.

Pan Xiaozhi naturally had no objection to Xu Yun's decision, and only nodded when he heard the sound and didn't say anything.

In the following time, the two stayed in the laboratory for a while, conducted more comprehensive and detailed experiments on the quantum repeater, and only then did Xu Yun contact Zhou Mingwei after determining that there were no problems with various standards.

……

"I've been waiting for your call, Xu Yuan, let me guess there should be good news to tell me."

As the phone was connected, Zhou Mingwei's familiar and loud voice suddenly came from the microphone.

Xu Yun had previously told the other party that he would conduct experiments in the next few days, so he was not surprised that Zhou Mingwei knew, but he didn't expect that the other party had been waiting for this call.

It shows that the other party is also full of confidence in this experiment.

At this level, Xu Yun will definitely not sell Guan Zi again, even if he informs the other party of the situation.

"Academician Zhou's guess is right, just now we successfully carried out the experimental work on the Micius-2 quantum repeater, and the results meet the theoretical values, and I think the quantum communication network between the Earth and the Moon can be deployed at any time."

Almost the moment Xu Yun finished saying this, Zhou Mingwei's excited voice suddenly sounded in the microphone.

"Okay."

"Great."

"Okay."

After saying yes three times in a row, his mood stabilized: "I knew that there would be no problem with you being in charge of this project." ”

"It's all that should be done, as long as it doesn't delay your aerospace project."

"Our side has preliminarily determined the launch date, if nothing else, it will be launched in late November, and then I am afraid that you will have to trouble you to transport the equipment over and cooperate with us to complete the assembly and commissioning." Zhou Mingwei took Xu Yun's words and directly said the approximate launch time.

Because Mozi-2 was originally designed to serve Earth-Moon communications, the initial design was based on the lunar lander to complete the structural modeling.

For now, it only needs to be transported over to complete the docking commissioning.

You don't have to design a new one.

What's more, Xu Yun not only designed a new generation of lunar rover, but also optimized and improved the construction plan of the lunar base.

Anyway, after the quantum repeater experiment is over, he doesn't have a special project to be responsible for at the moment.

In addition, because Musk invited him to participate in the development of the starship, he also wanted the other party to know who was more likely to complete the plan.

After that, the two had a general exchange on the specific details, and after a simple arrangement, the call ended.

According to the specific process of launch, Micius-2 needs to be assembled at the rocket research and development center first, and then transported to the launch center to wait for launch.

Of course, these are nothing to Xu Yun.

That's it.

As time passed, Xu Yun arranged things in the Quantum Information Technology Research Institute and prepared to personally lead the team to transport Mozi-2 to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and the Manned Space Engineering Office also officially released the first flight time of the Long March 10 through the official account and the media.

——

Since the time of the moon landing has been officially determined, it is also known that the lunar landing mission will be undertaken by the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle.

But there are not many reports on the Internet about the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle.

It's basically news about engine ignition tests.

A real rocket was never seen.

This has gradually calmed everyone's passion, and they don't even believe that they can achieve the moon landing before 2030.

Originally, some relevant personnel analyzed that it might take one to two years for the debut of the Long March 10, but no one expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

The Long March 10 manned launch vehicle, which is full of mystery, will be officially launched in two months.

It will even carry a lunar rover to complete the transportation of the lunar surface.

This is proper preparation for the moon landing.

With the spread of a large number of news reports, netizens suddenly went crazy and clicked on the usual websites to view.

After confirming that the news was true, the whole person was completely immersed in this surprise.

Below related topics, you can see discussions about Long March 10 everywhere.

as well as a variety of popular science long messages.

"Wow, what did I see."

"Didn't you say that the Long March 10 was still early to be successfully developed, why was it about to be launched so soon?"

"I thought it was fake news before I clicked in."

"This is definitely a big surprise, I didn't believe it when I was first told by my classmates."

"Tearful eyes, my family, it's a lifetime!"

"As a space enthusiast, it is necessary for me to give you a detailed introduction to our new generation of manned launch vehicles, and the Long March 10 is the ......."

"The first launch actually carried out the mission of carrying the lunar rover, which is obviously very mature technology."

"Bringing the latest generation of lunar rovers to the moon first is not only a realistic simulation of the moon landing, but also can help the next astronauts to land on the moon, and it seems that there may be hope to see the moon landing next year."

"If it's really next year, it's three years ahead of schedule, and I don't feel like there's much hope."

"Not to mention last year, it is already great news that we can successfully let the world see our achievements in the field of aerospace in the year after tomorrow."

……

The news about the launch of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle is still growing rapidly on the Internet, and a large number of netizens are excited and have also said that they will enter the live broadcast room on time to watch.

Although rocket launches are not unusual, many rocket launch missions are carried out every year.

But the first flight of the Long March 10 was different.

Because it not only represents a new generation of rockets, but also represents the realization of a manned landing on the moon.

It can be said that the 5,000-year-old dream of flying to the moon is close at hand.

How not to get excited.

And if the launch is successful and the lunar transportation mission of the lunar rover is successfully completed, it will prove that the relevant technology is very mature enough to officially start the manned lunar landing mission.

It is worth mentioning that although overseas media have also reported on it, it is relatively normal.

There has been no trampling and declining, which was absolutely unthinkable before.

It can only be said that because of the improvement of their own strength, coupled with the deployment of the quantum computer cloud platform and the cell activation agent, those people do not dare to make any disgusting small actions at all.

But in the two days that followed, another worrisome voice appeared on the Internet.

Some people feel that the launch of the Long March 10 so soon is too rash, especially with a lunar rover on its mission.

This certainly increases the difficulty.

After all, the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle has just been successfully developed, and no launch experiments have been carried out before, so if there is a sudden accident during the mission, it will definitely have an impact on the newly promoted authority.

At present, although the overseas media dare not report any negative news, once the launch mission fails, the situation is completely different.

I really can't say anything at that time.

Supported by this rhetoric, some have suggested that the first launch of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle should be cautious.

For example, postponing the launch of a rocket, or canceling a mission to carry a lunar rover.

But more people feel that since the space agency has made a decision, it must have enough faith and told those who are worried not to be so sensitive.

Under the different views of the two sides, there was also a wave of controversy on the Internet.

Even some practitioners in related fields have come forward to analyze, making the attention of this launch unprecedentedly high.

"Launching a lunar rover mission on the first launch doesn't feel like it's a little too risky, but that's just my personal opinion."

"I haven't heard any new news about Changshi before, and it is estimated that the relevant components have only been developed for a long time, so I feel that the first flight should not be carried out so early."

"Let's just cancel the lunar rover mission and wait until we have accumulated experience."

"Some people seem to know better than those academicians, this is obviously to prepare for the manned moon landing later, and it would be too wasteful to simply launch when the technology is mature and confident."

"I believe that there will be no problem with our astronautics academicians."

"Witness the success of the first flight of the Long March 10!"

……

The more attention there is, the more unlikely the launch will be.

Otherwise, it will have a bad effect.

However, the Manned Space Engineering Office did not respond to the two points of view that have been debated on the Internet.

As for Xu Yun, because he is busy with the docking work of Mozi No. 2, he will not pay too much attention to things on the Internet.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the research and development experiment of the quantum repeater has been successful, and the Institute of Quantum Information Technology has not announced it for the time being.

Since the new plan has not yet been announced, it is not good to take out the quantum repeater alone, especially now that netizens are still arguing about the launch of the Long March 10.

In this case, it is naturally more appropriate to wait until the lava tube cave lunar base plan is announced.

Later, with the passage of time, under everyone's expectations, Xu Yun also cooperated with Zhou Mingwei to complete the docking of Mozi No. 2.

Just waiting for the official launch date to show the strength of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle to the outside world can be said to be all ready.
