"That is, basic science."

Ye Changsi refined the most critical words, and what Penrose said all depended on the progress of basic science, and it was not entirely a matter of technology.

Everybody agrees with his summary, and this is their field, and it can be said that half of the world's basic science is here.

Frank Young: "I just briefly read the development plan of the base, and you also plan to take the route of weak-force controlled plasma fusion provided in the information?" ”

Ye Changsi: "At least someone has proven that this is a success, and Yu Qian's formula is there,"

Frank Young: "Then we've got to get TEPA up and running as quickly as possible, and in ten years, I'd be dead in ten years."

Even the vast majority of those present are still in the base, and I believe that together we will be able to move forward a little more in the next few years, but without experimental support, it will end here. ”

His words immediately resonated with others, the best of the basic science field are old people who are close to the limit of their lives, and they are desperate to make something as soon as possible, but time and energy greatly limit them.

It takes 10 to 15 years for TEPA to be built and put into operation, which is a normal rate, but a third of the people present at that time may have died, and not many of them are still capable of doing scientific research – and there is already such momentum.

"Then we will take a two-pronged approach, the Advisory Committee will promote the construction of TEPA as much as possible, and the base will try to extend the life span of human beings."

Lin Ju was silent for a while after speaking, and Ye Changsi, who was familiar with him, knew that he was using the system.

"In the next year, I plan to increase investment in biological laboratories, and the actual funding is expected to be 5 billion, and the systematic research fund is 5 billion, a total of 10 billion yuan, to find a way to improve your body and prolong your life.

You are all elites of human science and should not fall on the eve of an outbreak, and I hope that everyone who was present when TEPA was built will still be enthusiastic and full of enthusiasm for their work. ”

These words made the originally somewhat pessimistic scientists a little excited, they all know the research capabilities of the base, not to mention getting better, as long as it can maintain the current state in ten years, it is enough.

However, Penrose noticed that Hawking's mood was a little low, after all, the latter's body was on the verge of running out of oil, and even if he lived, he could no longer work, and he was destined to not see the day when TEPA was built.

But that didn't frustrate him too much, and soon a line was typed on the computer screen:

"Roger, I'm going to communicate with God first."

Penrose smiled slightly, he could understand how Hawking was feeling right now.

……

"Xiaolin, you ......"

Academician She looked at Lin Ju, whose dark circles were about to become substance, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed, and finally said meaningfully:

"Be young and temperate, and stay up late to be moderate."

“……”

Lin Ju couldn't refute the teasing word by word, he couldn't say that he had a discussion meeting all night last night.

The scientist of the Advisory Committee can rest on the grounds that he is old and toils in the car, and he still has something to do today.

The Nine Chapter spacecraft has completed its final equipment in the final assembly hangar, and today you can see this extremely sci-fi spaceship entity.

In the following week, the base will test it as a whole except for the engine, and then it will also be transported by water to Qiongzhou.

Academician She also has great expectations for the regular scaled-down version of the XN90, so he has been staying at the base until now.

Walking into the final assembly hangar, the huge black and gray size of the Chapter 9 immediately catches your eye, and its body is also covered with scaffolding, which is being inspected by engineers.

Although the "Chapter 9" is smaller than the H2 space shuttle as a whole, it is more stout because it has no wings, and the angular sci-fi shape also looks oppressive, like a large snapping turtle with thick limbs and almost no neck.

Just such an appearance can feel its completely different design concept from traditional spacecraft, and for a while, it made an old spaceman like Academician She a little at a loss and didn't know where to evaluate.

Seryov, who personally supervised the work, rested a little earlier yesterday and led the two of them directly to the side of the Jiuzhang between the two propulsion modules, where there was a hatch for unloading, which was now open.

There are a total of five hatches in the Nine Chapters, one on each side of the head of the spacecraft in front of the spacecraft for personnel to get on and off, and is equipped with a cabin for disinfection and transition to ensure that the crew cabin is not polluted by moon dust.

There is a large hatch like the tail door of the transport aircraft on the side and the front, and the size of the side hatch is only half the size of the front door that opens downward, and the opening speed is faster and more conducive to the entry and exit of small cargo, and the front door is used for large cargo transportation.

Therefore, after the three of them walked into the cargo hold of the Jiuzhang, they saw that the interior decoration was extremely simple, and the floor was covered with various protrusions and openings to facilitate the fixation of the goods.

Seryov: "The cargo compartment size of the XH40 is 22 x 10 x 7.5, which can provide a total effective volume of 1,650 cubic meters and carry 220 tons of cargo, which is enough for the mission with just one spacecraft.

Although the cargo hold cannot be pressurized, it can also be equipped with seats to transport people, and it is no problem to carry forty or fifty people at a time. ”

Academician She patted the bulkhead that sounded a little hollow, the height of 7.5 meters was already more than two floors, and standing inside the cargo hold, it looked extremely spacious, and it didn't look like something that humans could have now.

"It's a pity that a lot of weight has to be wasted to protect against the atmosphere, otherwise I believe it could be even lighter."

Seryov: "Yes, but we have weakened its protection and designed it to only pass through the atmosphere during launch, in fact, we can't use it even if we build a larger fairing, so Xinyuan-4 will be difficult to launch, so we can only resist." ”

"Another thing...... Will there be too many landers at the end of the year? There are 17 astronauts preparing to go over, more than 40 experts and scholars invited by United Mining, and so many people working on hydrogen bombs, adding up to more than 100 people in total.

Even if you can go up several times, the supply of living materials is still a big trouble. ”

Academician She looked at Lin Ju, the Wutu space station in the lunar orbit can accommodate seven or eight people at most for a short time, and such a huge number of lunar expeditions still makes the space agency tremble.

"Then don't leave so many people on the moon."

Lin Ju replied quickly, obviously having already thought of a way:

"The ferry spacecraft has been built and can be launched this month, we will first send people to the Tiangong space station in batches, and then use the ferry spacecraft to run the Earth-Moon route once a week, so that nine people can stay on the moon for 3 to 4 days at a time.

By the time they returned on the ferry, the space-time plane had already sent the next batch to the space station, where they completed the handover and returned to the ground and headed for the moon.

The Wutu space station and the lunar surface can now maintain a long-term presence of 3 people each, and all tasks can be basically completed in batches within two months. ”

"At that time, our first expansion plans were completed."

Seryov followed suit, adding:

"Now the production capacity of the base has been completely vacated, and in the next three months, we plan to manufacture 11 new cabins, 3 50-ton modules for expansion in the Wutu space, and 8 for long-term stationing on the lunar surface, about 20 tons of habitation cabins."

There are still two chapters to be released tomorrow morning, and there will be no skips in the morning
