On March 9, the command module of the Aurora 2 spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and landed on the savannah with four dummies and storage tanks.

The helicopter search and rescue team found the position before the command module landed, and the search and rescue team members in orange clothing rushed up less than five minutes after the command module landed.

A group of people couldn't wait to pry open the hatch, and they dodged into the cabin without caring about the residual temperature on the surface of the command cabin, and saw the tightly wrapped storage tank at a glance.

The first members of the search and rescue team tentatively lifted the handle on the metal belt, but did not lift it.

In the end, it was the two of them who laboriously moved the storage tank onto the stretcher, and then flew to the capital immediately to start the work under the baby-like care of the experts of the Aviation Development Commission.

After 10 hours of emergency work, the weight of the retrieved sample was finally calculated:

The mass of ice, lunar rock, and lunar soil inside the tank is 78.452 kg, and the outside of the tank and the lunar soil attached to the metal woven bag: 41.3 grams, and some particulate gravel.

A total of 78.4933 kilograms, that is, about 157 kilograms, the weight of an adult lunar soil!

157 pounds!

The Apollo program brought back a total of 382 kilograms of lunar soil, and Aramco gave 1 gram as a gift, and then distributed half of it, or 0.5 grams, to produce 14 reports.

Now, about 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil, everyone in the national scientific research institutions can share it, 10 grams per person!

And the 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil are worth more than the 382 kilograms of the Apollo program, and it is a valuable sample that the explorer robot collected from many different places and contains ice as a strategic resource.

It is foreseeable that the literature on lunar geological resources is about to usher in another round of explosion, and human beings are likely to raise the level of lunar resources and geological research.

On the day that the lunar soil returned to the earth, Lin Ju and Ye Changsi flew to the capital on the ARJ21, why didn't they fly the higher education plane? Because I was complained about by my superiors......

To get back to the point, how to distribute the 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil to the Aviation Development Commission is planned, and due to the unburied credit of the Explorer series of robots, the base can also get a lot of samples.

The distribution ratio is 7:3, but it is not publicly publicized, and it can be quietly taken back according to the type of sample.

However, the allocation of lunar soil is more of a formal significance, and the real valuable results in research are very limited, so it is good to wait for others to make a plan directly with the results after research.

As for the lunar soil forest torch assigned to Xinyuan, it has already been arranged, the cooperative colleges and universities will take a part, the base research will take a part, and the remaining little bit will be placed in the glass display case as an ornament...... Finished.

After all, lunar soil is not an uncommon thing in the foreseeable future, not to mention 78.5 kilograms, 7850 kilograms can be done.

However, the Aviation Development Commission immediately held a lunar soil acceptance ceremony, and by the way, because of the amazing performance of the explorer series robots, an artificial intelligence conference was held together, so the meeting that Lin Ju participated in was:

"Lunar Sample Acceptance Ceremony of Dawning-2 Mission and HD Artificial Intelligence Conference"

The artificial intelligence conference is in a hurry, but the lineup is not bad, and now the Internet technology companies involved in artificial intelligence research are here, and they are all heavyweights.

"Commissioner Lin, your position is in ......"

Lin Ju found his place in the first row in the eyes of the astronauts' greeting personnel, and sat with Ye Changsi.

For Xinyuan, this kind of meeting is mainly to show up to enrich the audience lineup, to match the joy of the space agency, and more often to participate in the specific work formulation of the Aviation Development Commission.

The two came relatively early, and they whispered there to discuss the installation progress of the A100.

Because he was too involved, Lin Ju turned his head for a long time only to find an unexpected person sitting next to him - Repentant Ali Jackma.

In a trance, he realized that Ali is still in full swing, and the presence of the BAT triumvirate after setting off the wave of ternary and artificial intelligence is not low at all, and the current Ma Yun is still "Ma Dad" and "President Ma".

Seeing Lin Ju, Ma Yun said hello very happily, and Lin Ju also gave the same response.

"Hello, hello, Donglin Xima, I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence...... indeed"

Lin Ju didn't have much intention to chat, but Ma Yun was obviously very interested in him and hurriedly started the topic.

"I heard that the explorer robot is made by Xinyuan, and your intelligent technology is really powerful."

Lin Ju: "AI is the future development direction of mankind, we are just investing in research in advance, and this kind of learning artificial intelligence should actually originate from the Internet-based big data model at the beginning. ”

Jack Ma: "I don't particularly like to call AI artificial intelligence, I call it 'Alibaba Intelligence'......"

Lin Ju: "......"

Good guy, I cut off the words that I should have said to Musk two years in advance?

"Uh, indeed." Lin Ju smiled reluctantly, which could be regarded as a response to this cold joke.

"E-commerce actually has a great prospect for AI applications, such as ......"

Jack Ma: "I'm particularly surprised by your vision for technology. I'm not a high-tech person, I'm talking about life...... People should have more self-confidence, AI is not a threat, it is not a scary thing, and humans can learn it. I'm optimistic, I don't think AI is a threat, I don't think AI is a scary thing because humans are smart. ”

Lin Ju looked at Ma Dazui, who was talking eloquently but had no useful information at all, he had been used to communicating with professional and technical personnel for a long time, and he didn't know how to respond, so he took advantage of the gap between not paying attention and glanced back at Ye Changsi, who shook his head secretly.

……

After the ceremony, the world knew that Dawn-2 had brought back 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil, a record for the weight of a single sample retrieved from the moon, the previous record being 73 kilograms brought back by the Apollo 17 mission.

The second country to complete the return of lunar samples was the former coalition, which returned 326 grams of lunar soil from three unmanned missions.

Then everyone is concerned about whether these lunar soils will be given to which countries, and what is special about them compared to what they have been obtained before.

Of course, the most promising NACA, after all, gave 1 gram of lunar soil as a national gift in 1978, looking forward to whether there would be a return gift.

However, after waiting for several days, I waited for the result that stunned everyone.

The space agency presented 1 kilogram of lunar samples from the Dawning 2 mission to Lucia, Lucia, Italy, and Arbor to demonstrate their partnership in space and other aspects.

Just these four countries, 1 kilogram per family, is obviously an extremely expensive gift, but there is no other list.

Although NACA didn't say yes, CNN was quick to report that an unnamed source accused CASA of disregarding the traditional friendship between the two countries and should share a lunar sample in return, at least one kilogram in return.

However, a daily newspaper immediately published the Wolf clause in response, and at the same time praised the "generous gift" that NACA had given, and Aramco gave lunar soil to 145 countries, almost only 1 gram.

In contrast, I know how generous the space agency has to give a kilogram, of course, they also have the confidence to be generous, and there are so many follow-up missions in the Dawning Project, even if a country in the world has a kilogram, a mission can almost be completed.
