"You robots are ......"

Although the Chang'e-4 project was completed by the two families together, Shen Zuozhou couldn't help but complain when he saw the explorer robot.

For the space agency, Chang'e-4 was supposed to be a continuation of the Chang'e-3 mission, and the technical level and mission content were not much different, but because of Xinyuan's intervention, the magic change was made.

The mass of the lander is as high as 2.8 tons, more than double the original plan of 1.2 tons.

Yutu-2 has also benefited from the fact that the mass of the lander has increased from 135 kilograms to 150 kilograms, but it is still the smallest lunar rover in the world......

Even if the 420-kilogram Explorer robot comes out, it is still small, and the mass of the "Lunar Rover 1" and "Lunar Rover 2" launched by the former Union is almost 800 kilograms.

The Ami lunar rover is 210 kilograms, but that was given to the astronauts by the Apollo mission.

Of course, it is incorrect to judge the ability rashly based on quality, and the Jade Rabbit No. 2 is still very good, but the explorer next to it is too black technology.

Traveling on the moon with a jump, and eight mechanical legs?

There are still differences in the eight mechanical legs of the explorer, the first two are "secondary legs", which are more flexible and carry a lot of equipment, and the back six "main feet" are mainly used for walking or heavy work.

The first two "auxiliary legs" and the middle pair of the back six can be used to hold or transport things, not to mention that the maximum output of each pair of mechanical legs is only 50 kilograms, which is 300 kilograms of weight lifting capacity on the moon, which is only one-sixth of the earth.

In case of encountering aliens, two pairs of feet can grab two astronauts and flee for their lives.

Each "spider foot" has a fully unfolded length of 1.6 meters, and the explorer is a big toy in the truest sense of the word, so it can really be used as a vehicle, but there is no place to sit and can only stand, and it is a little bumpy.

The Explorer's attitude system supports at least three-legged movements, but four-legged is more stable.

Of course, it is not without a price, of the 420 kilograms of weight, 240 kilograms are nickel-hydrogen batteries all over the body, 50 kilograms of scientific research equipment, and the remaining 130 kilograms are the body of the explorer, with an average of only more than 10 kilograms per foot, which has been quite light.

But almost 60% of the weight of a detector goes to the battery...... Shen Zuozhou, the chief engineer sent by the Space Bureau, couldn't get used to it and felt that it was too wasteful.

If you let him come, at most 80 kilograms will be rowed to the battery, and the rest of the space will bring more solar panels, anyway, this big spider can wipe the dust by itself.

Xinyuan engineers are very satisfied, unlike the slow rover, the explorer has to work, the battery can extend the time of each activity, and the charge will be charged for a while.

The space agency has been very concerned about the reliability of this multi-step robot that relies on motors, which is cold in space and the temperature is low, so can such a high-speed activity mechanism really be reliable?

But in any case, at least in terms of the degree of science fiction and the function of design, the explorer is much stronger than the moon rabbit, and it is a science fiction product at first glance.

In other words, it is very suitable for use as a movie prop at first glance.

"Ah, is this really going to run on the moon and still be able to jump all the way forward? This is great, I don't even need to do special effects, just shoot the explorer and add a filter. ”

Guo Fan excitedly touched the Explorer 2, which was the backup of the Explorer 1, which had been transported to Qiongzhou for launch.

Last month, "The Wandering Earth" officially started filming.

With the support of Xinyuan Aerospace, the father of the super financier, the Wandering Earth crew, which wants funds for funds, technology and funds, and talents for funds, officially started.

Unlike Guo Fan, who broke his leg in the last world line, he only needs to move his fingers to let others take the initiative to run to the door, and he solves 99% of the problem with funds.

The confidence of the investors of the whole movie has also increased greatly, Lao Liu's IP, coupled with the strong support of a real high-tech company, there is no problem in recovering it from the buff.

What's more, what can invest in this sci-fi movie now is still a little bit of support for domestic sci-fi films, which is more tolerant than ordinary commercial films.

The rough script has been reviewed by Lin Ju, who feels that it is not much different from his previous life, but the casting is quite different, but he still believes in Guo Fan's vision.

In fact, he himself doesn't have a great feeling about the wandering earth, mainly because he wants to push this project to accelerate the maturity and development of domestic science fiction, and the gap between China and Hollywood in this regard is still quite large.

Guo Fan's attitude is also quite "more serious", and after getting sufficient funds, he formed a props team that may be the strongest science fiction crew in Huaguo, and began to design various science fiction props.

As a result, as soon as Chang'e-4 was released, he found that the explorer robots had more sci-fi elements than the props they designed......

So Guo Fan took a few people to the B-level base to look for sci-fi inspiration, and there was a special person among them.

Lao Liu, an electrician in his 50s, was not outstanding in the crew at all, he originally went to the crew to see the situation, but was taken to the B-level base by the way.

Although he is the most imaginative science fiction writer in China, Lao Liu still feels very novel after seeing Xinyuan's base, and feels around in the area where he can see.

When Lin Ju heard that he was coming, he made a special trip to meet him.

Lao Liu: "I used to think that chemical rockets were a group of people using manual methods to produce rocket parts little by little in a workshop-like space, creating delicate but expensive, complex and inefficient products, but here in Xinyuan Factory, I don't have this feeling. ”

Lin Ju: "But the era of rockets is passing, we all understand this, although it is still not abandoned, but we are doing some epoch-making work. ”

Lao Liu was very surprised, and then he saw the surface parameters and imagination of the XN90 spacecraft.

This is something that humans can make now?!

Lin Ju smiled, and then brushed off his clothes, after the three-body problem, Lao Liu had no creative passion, this is not good, he has to give him some stimulation, maybe he will be inspired to write another book of "four-body problems".

Entertainment works are still very important, which represents the characteristics of a social environment, and will also affect the thinking of one or several generations.

Although the last year's settlement items for the "Fly Higher" long-term mission are speechless, it is still necessary to continue to do it, and stimulating people's enthusiasm for space will help some future plans.

At the beginning of the rescue mission of "Operation East", Huaying had already discussed with Lin Ju the possibility of adapting it into a movie, the cost was not very high and the audience was very wide, and he had authorized it to be filmed by another crew.

The title of the film is "Oriental Action", and some of the characters will be played in their true colors, such as the personnel of the Qiongzhou Launch Center, such as the Unity Space Shuttle, which can also be filmed on the spot, but the on-site shooting in space is a bit ungood, this is a Spring Festival movie, and the launch schedule is too late, and there is not as much time as the Wandering Earth crew.
