Chapter 396: There Are Surprises
"We will broadcast the whole space rescue operation live, and you can follow it through the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer." Xu Yun looked at the reporters in the audience who were aroused, and said calmly: "The next report will be presided over by Bai Ruisong from the Aerospace Office." ”
After explaining this, he did not delay time, and then left the field and returned to the hall of the space command center.
Although the Yutu-3 lunar rover is specifically responsible for this rescue operation, after all, it is related to the lives of the two astronauts, and he still has to sit in person to rest assured.
Since you have promised to provide assistance, you must not mess things up.
What's more, he has decided to broadcast the whole process.
Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng naturally will not continue to stay here, throughout the entire history of aerospace development, there has never been such a lunar rescue operation, and now they must participate in it.
By the way, you can also accumulate experience for future space rescue.
So he left with Xu Yun.
The rest of the time will continue, but news of the failure of NASA's lunar lander has spread online.
Almost in a short period of time, it was reported by many media outlets.
Quickly appeared on the hot search of major websites.
Originally, netizens still wanted to pay attention to today's report meeting and witness the achievements made in the aerospace field over the years.
I didn't want to suddenly drop the hot search.
When I learned that the overseas moon landing program had failed to restart, I was immediately attracted to attention.
Especially after knowing in detail that the other party took the initiative to ask for help, I felt a sense of joy in my heart.
After all, not long ago, the words of Nibison, the head of the Aerospace Administration, were still in my ears, and at that time, the Tsukinomiya-1 base was openly questioned.
However, now it is necessary to use this base to solve its own space accidents.
In a sense, it can be regarded as irony.
However, everyone also expressed support for Xu Yun's agreement to help, because astronauts are worthy of admiration.
Moreover, this is also an opportunity to show the world its strength in the field of aerospace.
As for the failure of the rescue operation?
This thought never came to anyone's mind.
In their cognition, as long as Xu Yun is in charge, there is no such thing as failure in the dictionary.
If you open the commonly used social platforms at this time, you will see that the comment area of related topics is full of messages, all saying that they are going to the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer to witness this unprecedented rescue operation.
"After more than half a century, landing on the moon again can be a problem, which is too vegetable."
"I really didn't expect this wave."
"The lunar lander could not be ignited, whether this serious accident was a lie about the moon landing half a century ago, or whether the technology has not advanced in the past few decades."
"Not to mention growth, this is obviously a technical retreat."
"It should be an accident, but this overseas moon landing was in cooperation with Lao Ma's Space Exploration Technology Company."
"Anyway, this time the face of the space agency on the other side is swollen, and I just said that our base can't last for three months, so we have to be cheeky and move in."
"I think this can be done, just send the lunar rover and our astronauts without taking risks, and then all the expenses incurred by the rescue will be paid by the other party, just to earn extra money for the operation and maintenance of the lunar base."
"The live broadcast has begun, everyone hurry into the live broadcast room."
……
At the same time, compared to the domestic attitude towards the incident, overseas is a completely different picture.
Since Nibison originally intended to block the news, the relevant news media did not get any news, which led to the fact that it was clearly his own space accident, but in the end it was the news that came back from other people, which made people feel deceived.
As the news spread, many people expressed dissatisfaction with NASA's approach.
In particular, the person in charge, Nibison, was even more scolded.
"NASA should immediately replace such a stupid person in charge who actually hid this from us."
"We have the right to know."
"What an idiot."
"God will never forgive such behavior."
"This is the most absurd thing I have ever encountered, it was actually my netizen who told me the truth of the matter, no wonder the live broadcast room was suddenly cut off."
"Hopefully those two astronauts will be rescued, God willing."
As time passed, when the world's eyes were focused on the rescue operation of the century, Nibison, who was in the command and control hall of the Kendini launch center, had an extremely ugly face.
It's like eating some dark food.
"The other side has promised to provide assistance to the trapped astronauts, but they have not sent astronauts there." As soon as Teblanc finished communicating with the Space Office, he reported to Nibison non-stop.
When Nibison heard this, he was instantly furious, and immediately asked, "What do they mean by this?!" ”
In his opinion, since the other party promised to help, but did not send astronauts, it was obviously playing tricks on him.
Coupled with the already suppressed emotions, how could it not explode.
Fortunately, Teblanc didn't sell it, and hurriedly explained: "They sent two lunar rovers to the location of the lander. "I'm in a hurry, and I'm almost sweating.
"Lunar rover?"
Hearing this, Nibison couldn't help but ask.
Instead of transporting astronauts, Hagrid and his teammates are locked in the lander's bay right now.
Someone needs to open the hatch from the outside.
Now that only two lunar rovers have been dispatched, he can't figure out how to open the door.
Just when he doubted the other party's purpose, he heard Musk suddenly take over and say: "Their latest generation of lunar rover was designed by Xu Yun and helped the construction of the Yuegong-1 base, and may be able to complete the rescue mission." "Nibison wasn't left to vent his emotions.
Knowing this information, Nibison naturally couldn't continue to have a seizure, so he had to remain silent for the time being.
Who gave them only this one choice.
He also had other thoughts in his mind, so he didn't have to worry about it.
In any case, now that the Space Office has taken over the rescue operation, he can shirk responsibility if the rescue fails.
Even the responsibility for the accident was taken out.
When the time comes, he will be able to keep his position by directing pressure from the outside world to the space office.
But just as he was planning these things in his mind, his thoughts were interrupted by one of his subordinates who suddenly came over, and he had to stop thinking for a while.
"Sir."
"What's the matter, if you have something, talk about it quickly." Nibison looked up and said impatiently.
was reprimanded, where did the subordinate dare to delay time, and immediately replied truthfully: "The aerospace office just disclosed this matter to the public, and decided to broadcast the whole rescue operation live, and now it is already known on the Internet that it was the live broadcast ordered by you, sir." When he said the last sentence, his tone was noticeably weaker.
Really.
Nibison, who had just looked a little better, instantly lowered his face after hearing the news.
Gloomy and terrible.
"Who asked them to make the news public, didn't they ask the other party to keep it secret?" When he asked this question, his eyes instantly locked on Tebran.
He knew exactly what it meant for the accident to be made public.
At the very least, he'll be the target of public criticism.
Not to mention being attacked online, offline is not necessarily absolutely safe.
The most important thing is whether he can keep his position as head of the aerospace agency in such a situation.
Although Teblanc does not belong to the NASA system, he can't help but feel a little timid in the face of Nibison's questioning at this moment.
After all, his task is mainly technology, where can such a thing happen.
Wen Sheng paused for two seconds before slowly answering:
"The other party has been informed about the confidentiality, but that doesn't mean they will do it."
It has been made very clear.
As the party who takes the initiative to find someone to ask for help, it is not easy to persuade the other party to agree, and who is qualified to ask the other person to do something else.
"Chief Nibison, I don't think now is the time to talk about that." I don't know if I have the intention of giving my own employees a platform, but at this time, Musk suddenly took over the conversation and reminded him deliberately.
In this regard, Nibison also understands that he is at fault for this matter, and knows that the situation cannot be changed.
Finally took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.
Then he looked at Teblanc again and said in a softer voice, "Take the picture from the live broadcast room." ”
It's just a sentence, but it seems to drain your strength.
Teblanc obviously didn't expect Nibison to change so quickly, and was a little stunned in the face of this request, and then hurriedly responded.
"I'll do it."
With that, he quickly walked towards the console.
After about half a minute, I saw the picture of the live broadcast room of the Moon Overseer appear on the main screen.
The two Yutu-3 lunar rovers formed two perspectives and were heading to the lander's location at a fast speed, and the surrounding scenes on the lunar surface quickly receded in the live broadcast screen.
Whether it is ordinary people or professionals in related fields, the well-known lunar rover is relatively slow.
Even the Jade Rabbit 3 did not use full speed when it was on a mission in the early stage.
After all, the previous mission of Yutu-3 was to explore lava pipe caverns and clean up lava pipe caverns to build a lunar base, and the area of activity was relatively fixed, in this case, it must focus on energy consumption, and it is necessary to use energy for other functions rather than speed.
But now it's different.
Carrying out rescue operations on the moon can only be said to be the same old saying.
Time is of the essence.
No matter how long the two astronauts are able to support themselves, they need to arrive as soon as possible.
Bringing it to the base is a success.
So this time it also made everyone feel the real speed of Yutu No. 3.
It's like walking on the ground.
Even when encountering complex terrain, it can pass quickly.
And this is to shock the jaws of the audience in the live broadcast room, and their inner feelings can be described in two words.
it!
Vivid and relevant.
At the same time, the number of barrages is growing rapidly.
"Damn, this is a lunar rover?"
"I definitely didn't wake up and actually saw two lunar rovers racing on the moon."
"There's nothing wrong with this speed of travel, it's okay to say it's a drag race."
"It feels like it's almost as fast as my usual commute to work, so is it okay for the lunar rover to run so fast?"
"Today is an eye-opener again!"
"I thought I already knew all the awesome places about Jade Rabbit No. 3, but I didn't expect that there would be surprises."
"Although it is important to save people, it feels better to be stable."
"It's worthy of the lunar rover designed by Xu Shen, it's so amazing."
……
"This is the first time that Yutu 3 has traveled at full speed, and it is estimated that the outside world will be stunned now." Zhou Mingwei, who had returned to the hall of the command and control center, looked at the perspective of the lunar rover with a smile on his face.
When he first saw the design plan of a new generation of lunar rover completed by Xu Yun, he was shocked by the theoretical speed in the plan.
The feasibility of the scheme is even doubted for this.
As a professional in the industry, he is well aware of the speed of the lunar rover.
It's definitely not easy to go too fast.
The gravitational environment on the moon means that the lunar rover cannot travel too fast, otherwise it will easily roll over or even roll.
What's more, you have to face the complex and changeable terrain of the lunar surface.
Once the lunar rover loses its balance, not to mention the difficulty of regaining its normal attitude, if it causes parts or sail boards to collide, it is very easy to cause the lunar rover to be scrapped.
It is no longer possible to work.
But the new generation of lunar rover designed by Xu Yun has changed this.
Gave the rover high speed.
To achieve this point to ensure the safety of the lunar rover at full speed, in addition to the problem of the body structure, the key is to quickly adjust in the event of a collision and rollover, so that the body always maintains a normal attitude.
As it turns out, Xu Yun's design does exactly that.
When the lunar rover was simulated and tested in a simulated environment, the results showed amazed everyone.
However, after Yutu-3 reached the moon, it never had the opportunity to travel at full speed, so that it only showed new functions today.
Based on these analyses of everyone's emotions in the outside world at the moment, Zhou Mingwei really has nothing wrong with it.
"Not to mention that it shocks ordinary people, even if I see it now, I feel like my blood is boiling." Zhang Feng stood next to him and took Zhou Mingwei's words, and responded with a smile.
After all, the first two generations of lunar rovers were designed by him.
Be more aware of the power inside.
"Keep driving towards the target at this speed, and you should be there soon." Xu Yun listened to the two of them praising the Jade Rabbit No. 3, and echoed the reply, if you want to say that you are not happy at all, it is absolutely fake.
In the following time, they did not go to the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer to join in the fun, but still paid attention to the movement of the lunar rover.
It didn't take long for them to enter a place ten kilometers away from the base.
There are still a few kilometers to reach the target position.
It is worth mentioning that, according to normal conditions, this is already beyond the range of activities of the lunar rover, so the terrain will be more unfamiliar.
Requires a lot of attention.
In this regard, Xu Yun took the initiative to give instructions to the artificial intelligence deep sea connected to the lunar rover for the first time.
"Scan the terrain ahead."
……
"The scan is complete, and the 3D model is being generated."
With the backing of the Zu Chongzhi-4 quantum computer, the speed of the deep sea can be said to be amazingly fast, and the terrain scanning is quickly completed and the data is automatically generated into a three-dimensional model, which is displayed on the screen for engineers to make more intuitive judgments.
And at this moment, it was not only Xu Yun, but Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng next to him also cast their eyes.
I just frowned when I saw the three-dimensional model.
"It's not good, the terrain here is far more complicated than we thought." Zhou Mingwei was the first to speak, and the whole person fell into a state of thinking.
The terrain environment is too complex, which will undoubtedly increase the probability of overturning.
Even if Jade Rabbit No. 3 has certain advantages, it needs to be cautious.
After all, the number of lunar rovers in the base is limited, it is impossible to send new ones, and the time will be stretched, so it is necessary to ensure that the two lunar rovers arrive smoothly.
And safely bring the trapped astronauts back to base.
"With such a large terrain drop, even if you slow down, the probability of overturning will be very large." Zhang Feng agreed with Zhou Mingwei's opinion very much, and said his opinion: "Can you re-plan the route and bypass this area?" ”
"It's not easy."
"Judging from the data from deep-sea scanning, it will take a long distance to get around this area, and the energy of the lunar rover will not be able to sustain it." Xu Yun shook his head when he heard this, and then said to Shen Hai: "Further analyze the terrain and calculate the probability of success." ”
"...... under analysis
"Calculating ......"
"The probability that Yutu-3 will pass through this area is ninety-eight percent."
As the sound of the deep sea sounded in the hall, Xu Yun's eyes suddenly became firm.
When even if the order is given.
"Continue on the original route."
Yes.
After making sure that the probability of passing was high enough, he decided to make his way through the area to the target location.
Although Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng were a little worried about this, they did not object.
Apparently they also have a lot of trust in the analysis of the deep sea.
However, the speed of the lunar rover will definitely drop compared to the road that traverses this terrain.
Soon, as the two lunar rovers entered the front area, the audience in the live broadcast room also noticed that something was not right, especially seeing that the tilt angle of the lunar rover was becoming more and more exaggerated, and they began to worry in their hearts.
Fear of a rollover.
"It's not easy to walk, I'm almost afraid to look at it."
"I didn't expect that the last section would be in trouble, and I hope it will pass smoothly."
"Come on!"
"Absolutely."
"Not good!"
Suddenly, under the gaze of the audience in the entire live broadcast room, I saw that one of the lunar rovers overturned due to the excessive tilt angle, but just when everyone was worried, they saw that the lunar rover quickly used its own mechanical arm to correct the body and control the mechanical arm to support and assist in passing.
Because the process happened so quickly, many people didn't even react.
In the end, only the screen was full of foul language.
"it!"
"This is obviously a battlefield robot, who dares to say that it is a lunar rover."
"No wonder I can build the No. 1 base of the Moon Palace, I'm really convinced of this function."
"What a surprise."
"Xuyuan's products must be high-quality."
"Dare to be worried about it in vain just now."
The analysis of the deep sea proved to be very accurate, and in the end, both lunar rovers passed through the area without any problems, and the lander parked on the lunar surface can already be seen from the perspective of the lunar rover.
——
The time spent waiting for rescue was an absolute pain for Hagrid and his teammates, who were not sure that they would be rescued, but also had hope of surviving, since they had not received a call from the other astronaut until now.
"Hagrid, can we really wait for help?"
"There must be no problem, we have to believe in the achievements of the Chinese side in the field of aerospace." In the face of his teammates' reconfirmation, Hagrid replied firmly.
It was at this moment that he felt a movement in the position of the hatch. (End of chapter)
