Chapter 422: Tianmu No. 2

Compared to the regular version, it has made quite a few improvements in order to adapt to the lunar environment.

First of all, the battery has been completely upgraded, as the low gravity environment of the moon has increased the mass of the battery to 60 kilograms, and the battery life has increased to 10 hours due to the significant reduction in energy consumption of the joints, mainly in the torso position.

Another major improvement is to protect against damage to mechanical structures caused by lunar dust and space radiation, which is covered with a protective layer modified from the spacesuit and designed to be non-removable in order to reduce failure rate and quality.

At the same time, because the limbs and torsos do not need to be pressurized, most of them are supported by a hard shell to enhance the protective ability, which does not look as bloated as a normal spacesuit, and is much more durable.

However, although the spacesuit does not provide pressurization, it retains the heating function, which can maintain a constant temperature of -80 degrees to -20 degrees Celsius for the robot, and this power is provided by the battery pack on the back, which can both keep warm and act as an additional power source for additional activities, so the overall appearance of the "14" is actually similar to that of a real astronaut.

The reason why it needs to be heated and insulated is because the No. 2 robot was originally not intended to be used on the moon, and its system cannot support facing extremely low temperatures, and minus 80 degrees is the limit after simple modification.

After the whole transformation, the mass of the "14" is only 120 kilograms, and the much more powerful Warrior 1 robot weighs 300 kilograms, which is too troublesome to carry.

"14" is an existence that needs to be kept secret, and the Dawn 3 crew, who only learned about it before departure, doesn't know much about it, but fortunately, 14 is a strong artificial intelligence robot, and it does not need to rely on excessive human control.

When the live broadcast of Dawn 3 is over, it will be put on the moon for various tests and exploration work, and if it is really easy to use, it will try to send more during the construction of the moon to reduce the supply needed by personnel.

But in this mission, it also has a function that can be controlled synchronously by real people, and Ding Jihua, who stayed in the spacecraft, can control "14" in real time through VR wearable devices, making up for the regret of not being able to descend to the ground.

This is still a project proposed by Xinyuan, anyway, a modified No. 2 robot is nothing, it doesn't matter if it is broken, on the contrary, it can allow the three astronauts to reunite on the lunar surface, if it can be publicized to the outside world, it must be quite good material.

Now Ding Jihua is using the simulation software on his notebook to practice control, but because he is not familiar with it, he always encounters inexplicable problems.

Fang Lin, who had the highest education, couldn't find a reason after looking at it for a long time, so he could only write down this question first, and then send it back to the ground to ask.

Neither he nor Ding Jihua had been to Xinyuan's base, and they didn't know how powerful the "14" was, but they just used it as a somewhat advanced test item.

……

On the evening of July 2, Qiongzhou.

Reyana Alcari landed at the airport with a group of people from the Arbor Space Agency, and Lin Ju and Academician She were personally present to greet him.

Reyana Alcari, a former Air Force pilot in Arbor, is now the deputy director of the Arbor Space Agency, an astronaut, who has not only been to the International Space Station, but also served as the commander of the "Self-Mecca" many times, and has been training in China since the end of last year.

He is not the only Abel astronaut or a member of the royal family, but he has an extremely important identity: Abel was the first astronaut to land on the moon.

He was joined by Ali Alkarli, an Abel pilot who had been training since his early days.

Of all the trainees, Alkarli did not have the best overall performance, but he had an important advantage: he had an extremely proficient foundation in Chinese, and he had no barriers in reading or communicating Chinese characters, even with a Henan accent.

At least when Lin Ju heard "It's good", if he hadn't seen that exotic face, he really thought he was a fellow villager in the Central Plains.

The day after Reana and Alcalli arrived, they held a brief-hearted press conference in Qiongzhou.

There were a lot of media outlets that received invitations, but most of them had just completed the Dawning 3 mission in Qiongzhou, and most of them had not yet left.

Among them is Susanna, who shows off to others all day how she "captured" Lin Ju with her sexy body, she has been waiting for Lin Ju to call the phone on the small note these days, and even opened the room, but there is no response.

Knowing that the two important figures would hold a press conference, she came to the scene early to look for Lin Ju, but unfortunately only the staff were present before the opening, wasting half an hour in vain.

Waiting until around 9 o'clock, the media arrived one after another, and they were all relatively relaxed at this time, after all, they had just participated in the big news, and now this temporary press conference should not be an important content, that is, just participate in it.

However, when more than 20 people from the Aviation Development Commission and the Abor Space Agency arrived one after another, they found that something seemed to be wrong, especially the background panel was covered by a red curtain, which was even more mysterious and abnormal.

In an atmosphere of anticipation, Academician She strode to the speaking position and said loudly:

"The main topic of today's press conference is: the crew information and mission time of Tianmu-2, the first international cooperative manned lunar landing operation of the Space Development Commission."

It took some time for the reporters in the audience to chew on this sentence, and only some recalled the mission around the moon more than a month ago.

"The Tianmu-2 mission is the second manned lunar mission led by China, and it is also the first manned lunar mission to cooperate with other countries.

The Storm nuclear-powered space shuttle and the Full Moon lunar lander are responsible for the Tianmu-2 mission, which is initially scheduled to take place from July 30 to August 4 at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. ”

Susanna, who was still trying to flatter Lin Ju on stage, stopped moving, and her pursed lips turned into an "O" shape.

The press conference, which originally seemed a little deserted, immediately became extremely lively, except for a few domestic official media, no one knew that such a hurried press conference would have such a heavy content.

Amid the noise of the media, the red curtain on the background board was pulled down, revealing the bilingual text on the billboard:

"Announcement of the Tianmu-2 Mission Crew and Signing Ceremony of the Cooperation Agreement"

Next to the font is a drawing of the Storm, and directly below is the portrait of the four astronauts of the entire mission, and Reyana and Deng Lei are placed in the center.

Then Lin Ju, who represented the contractor of Tianmu No. 2, and the leaders of the First Courtyard moved slightly to the middle, but left a large gap in the center.

After the camera gave them a close-up, two Chinese astronauts and two Abel astronauts entered from both sides.

When they walked into the media field of view in their one-piece suits, they immediately caused an even bigger sensation.

The Arbor group is naturally Reana and Alcarli, but the Huaguo group is much more shocking:

On the right side of Deng Lei, it is Li Wei, who has a classic flat head, waving his hand.
