The four of them chatted briefly for a while, and then started talking about business, about the moon landing.
The goal of both parties is very clear. They want to achieve the moon landing in advance instead of waiting for the completion of the three-door plan two months later.
Before the two sides discussed in detail, Dai Pingan, dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, first described their assessment of the early moon landing, and then Fan Xiaoming described the evaluation of the scientific research team of the Jiutian Research Center on the early moon landing.
Both assessments are positive for an early moon landing.
The difference is the timing and the details of the moon landing plan.
The former is very conservative. The moon landing plan is for ten people to fly directly to the moon on a space shuttle using the existing beam channel and SS-defense system.
After the personnel land on the moon, they have a two-hour stay, and then they have to return to the earth in the space shuttle.
In terms of time, this plan requires half a month of preparation.
The latter is different. In the moon landing plan, fifty people will fly to the moon on a space shuttle.
Among them are thirty moon landing candidates who have been screened through layers of screening, plus nineteen professionals.
The last spot was reserved for a rich man in China, who bought the first spot to go to the moon for 10 billion.
This moon landing has a mission.
In addition to simply landing on the moon, a beam channel generator must be built in lunar orbit.
As for the time to stay on the moon and in lunar orbit, the plan is three days, because it takes three days to complete the construction and commissioning of the beam channel.
In terms of time, this plan only takes seven days to prepare.
After the introduction between the two parties, Xu Zhengping said with some surprise: "You... are your moon landing plan too radical?"
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Principal! Is your moon landing plan too conservative?"
Dai Ping'an coughed lightly and said: "It's better to be conservative. Being conservative is not only safer, but also saves money. Do you know that our test flight today is about it. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the electricity bill. Just today's test flight. The electricity bill is as high as 500 million, please calculate how much electricity is used."
As for today's test flight, whether it is a space shuttle or a space suit, except that there is no power output in synchronous orbit, there is power output at other times.
Especially when accelerating and decelerating, a lot of power is needed, which means a lot of energy needs to be consumed.
"Actually, we have also considered this in our plan." Su Zhe explained, "No matter what, the beam channel generator in the lunar orbit needs to be built. We will take advantage of the opportunity to build it this time to land on the moon. It will not be built when we go there again. It will consume a lot of energy, and the most important thing is that we can have a lot of energy left when we come back."
The main purpose of building beam channels is to save energy.
At both ends of the beam channel are beam generators.
To put it bluntly, a beam generator is a combination of a beam emitter and a beam receiver.
The light in the beam channel is a collection of light from two directions, which can greatly reduce the waste of energy.
In fact, light from one direction can also charge the space shuttle, but this charging is only available in a small area. If it is used in a large area, it will cause a waste of light energy.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "To be honest, we can afford to spend billions or tens of billions, but we still have to consider the cost. Otherwise, this time we will not just build a lunar orbit beam channel generator, but a permanent connection to the moon." The base was built together.”
"This... okay!" Xu Zhengping said, "This is just the preparation time. Is seven days really enough?"
Dai Pingan nodded and said: "Seven days of preparation time is too short. Although we are eager to land on the moon, there is no need to be in such a hurry!"
"Seven days is completely enough." Fan Xiaoming said with certainty. "The module of the beam channel generator has been prepared for a long time. It can be installed on the space shuttle and it can fly. The trouble is the personnel, but it is not a big trouble. It only takes a few days to train." ”
"This time we will land on the moon directly using a space shuttle. We..." Su Zhe said with a smile.
The beam channel generator and related supplies will be sent to the moon in advance.
For this moon landing, the interior of a Black Wither space shuttle will be modified to become a residence for fifty people.
The Black Wither space shuttle and the Bluebird aircraft will land on the moon in advance.
The former is a residence, and the latter is a backup just in case.
As for the beam channel generator module, it will be gradually transported to the lunar orbit via a Black Wither space shuttle and two White Goose space shuttles.
After listening to Su Zhe's account, Xu Zhengping and Dai Ping'an nodded.
"Okay!" Xu Zhengping said, "But if you go fifty people at a time this time, isn't it too much?"
"I won't talk about letting the rich man go. After all, it will help the school's publicity. Nineteen majors are also indispensable. But for the thirty candidates for the moon landing, I think they will go according to the original plan. Just choose ten among them," Dai Pingan said.
This rich man spent 10 billion to get the first place to travel to the moon.
Ten billion!
Whether it is for the school or the rich man himself, it has a positive meaning.
And nineteen professionals are necessary to build the beam channel generator.
Only the final thirty candidates for the moon landing.
In his opinion, just pick ten as planned.
"No! Except for the rich man, all the members of this moon landing have missions, and they are all important missions." Fan Xiaoming said, "Let's be honest! The supplies we brought this time are enough for 100 yuan." People use it for seven days, but they can actually go to more people.”
"Mission! Okay! Please tell me in detail." Xu Zhengping said.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded and began to introduce the moon landing plan and some details in detail.
Soon, the time came to half past eleven at night.
The introduction was almost complete. After listening to it, Xu Zhengping and Dai Ping'an strongly supported this plan.
This time, not only fifty people will land on the moon, but they will also carry 60 humanoid robots.
Although this humanoid bionic robot is not very stable, it can still perform some simple tasks.
And these sixty humanoid bionic robots will stay on the moon.
After finishing speaking, Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "By the way! I forgot to mention that this time, Su Zhe and I will participate as professionals in this moon landing."
"Are you going to participate in this moon landing?" Dai Pingan asked in surprise.
Xu Zhengping quickly rejected it and said: "No! Absolutely not! No matter what, you two can't go. If an accident occurs, it will be a loss for the entire human race. No! You can't take this risk."
"What accidents can happen!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "We will plug all loopholes. Besides, we are not stupid and will not take our own lives for granted."
"This moon landing is not a big problem." Su Zhe said, "It's a moon landing! I also want to experience it. This is the first time. Once we build the beam channel generator, moon landings will probably become normal."
"You...you are sure that there will be no accidents." Xu Zhengping said.
"Of course! Today's experiment is the best proof." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "If something unexpected happens, I can fly back from the moon wearing an armored space suit. If not, I can still wait for rescue, right?"
Su Zhe nodded and said: "Sooner or later we will take this step. Now that the conditions are mature, we must take a big step forward, otherwise it will only affect the subsequent development of the moon."
Dai Ping'an looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming, thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will also participate in the moon landing! Who doesn't want to experience it?"
"Well, just add me as well!" Xu Zhengping said with a smile.
Both of them are veteran astronauts and know the current conditions very well.
We all know that this moon landing is very reliable, otherwise we would not have landed on the moon in advance.
"This..." Fan Xiaoming looked at Xu Zhengping and then at Dai Ping'an and said, "Principal! You are in your early sixties. It's better not to participate this time. There will be complete preparations next time. Dean Dai can go , happens to be the leader of this moon landing operation."
"Is this true? I will be the leader!" Dai Pingan said with excitement.
Xu Zhengping glared at Dai Pingan.
Dai Pingan said without fear: "Teacher! You are too old. It is not good to go to the moon rashly. It is better to let the students take you to see it first, and then accompany the teacher next time."
"Hey! I'm getting old! If I were five years younger, I wouldn't change my mind." Xu Zhengping sighed.
After chatting, we decided to adopt the moon landing plan proposed by Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.
According to the plan, it will take seven days to prepare, and 51 people will fly to the moon on the Bluebird space shuttle seven days later, that is, on June 15th.
The next morning, more than 3,500 key personnel involved in the moon landing program were convened for a mobilization meeting at the space shuttle assembly factory.
The main content of the mobilization meeting was to introduce the entire moon landing plan and the breakdown of the mission.
After learning the news, all members present at the meeting were excited.
The most excited ones were the thirty candidates for the moon landing and the super-rich man named Chang Kang.
According to the original plan, ten of the thirty moon landing candidates would be selected to carry out the moon landing plan. They did not expect such a result.
Go together.
Among these thirty people were Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming's assistants, Bi Yuankui and Ma Ping.
The two of them went from initial screening to becoming one of thirty candidates for the moon landing.
After the two learned the news last night, they were so excited that they stayed up all night at the astronaut training center.
They weren't the only ones who didn't sleep, there were twenty-eight other people.
After all, this time it was so unexpected, and the moon landing was scheduled much earlier.
As for the super rich Chang Kang, that is even more surprising.
He took the first commercial moon landing shot with a whopping 10 billion, which actually had two purposes.
First, he really wants to go to the moon. After all, his longing for space and the moon have always been his dream.
Secondly, it is for business and reputation. For him, spending 10 billion to take the first place on the moon can greatly increase his popularity. This alone is worth it.
】
According to his idea, he would have to wait a long, long time to land on the moon, but the result...
After reading the email early in the morning, he was extremely excited.
You know, he watched the public videos of the test flights of the space shuttle and armored space suit yesterday.
Especially when Zuo Dajun flew straight into space wearing an armored space suit, he was extremely excited.
He became even more excited when he learned that he would wear an armored space suit and stay on the moon for three days.
After the mobilization meeting in the morning, relevant personnel began to take action in the afternoon.
The fifty-one people who landed on the moon were gathered together for training.
In the afternoon, they participated in training on moon landing knowledge. In the evening, the group used the virtual solar system to practice operating armored space suits.
On the morning of the third day, a group of 51 people trained wearing indoor space suits and armored space suits.
The group of people was divided into several groups, and one group after another flew into space through the beam channel.
However, they did not fly too high, and they only operated within an altitude of 500 kilometers.
After participating in this training, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming stopped participating. In the following training, they only need to participate in a simulated moon landing in the virtual solar system.
That night, others continued training, and the two of them came to the control hall of the test airport control center.
Tonight, a Black Wither space shuttle and two White Goose space shuttles loaded with the first batch of supplies will fly to the moon.
Among the first batch of supplies is a set of energy storage stations composed of super batteries, which can be charged through the SS-Defense System from a long distance.
The total mass of this energy storage station alone reaches 1,800 tons, and requires a Black Wither space shuttle and a White Goose space shuttle to load it.
As for the other White Goose space shuttle, it will carry 60 humanoid bionic robots and related equipment, such as small electric forklifts, stratum drilling equipment, various instruments, etc., totaling a total of 800 tons.
Three space shuttles are already at the test airport ready for launch.
In the control hall, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, Bao Qizheng and others were sitting in the visiting area.
This time they came not only to watch, but also to participate.
For example, after three space shuttles land on the moon, they will control humanoid bionic robots to help unload the cargo.
You know, this time the humanoid bionic robot is different from last time.
This time the humanoid bionic robot is not only equipped with a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine, but also a pair of wings.
Now, on the earth, relying only on the energy it carries, the humanoid release robot can fly twenty kilometers, and it can fly further on the moon. In space...
Fan Xiaoming glanced at the big screen and saw that the time was not up yet. He whispered to Bao Qizheng who was sitting next to him: "Not bad! You guys have built these flying humanoid bionic robots in two days. It's fast enough." .”
"To tell you the truth, the design has been in place for a long time. It has been simulated countless times in the virtual solar system. Coupled with Tamu Gobi's manufacturing capabilities, it is not surprising that it was completed so quickly." Bao Qizheng said.
"That's true! Tamu Gobi's abilities are slowly starting to show up." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "Don't look at how much money we have invested in Tamu Desert. Just do some calculations. So far, the funds invested in Tamu Desert have exceeded 3 trillion. If it doesn't work again, it will be too stupid." ”
Su Zhe nodded with a smile and said: "With the improvement of Tamu Gobi industry, it will only become stronger and stronger."
"Yes!" Xu Zhengping nodded with a smile, "That's right! After the moon landing, when building a permanent base on the moon, the light pillar project will also be carried out simultaneously. As long as the energy problem is solved, our capital expenditure will be reduced. It’s a lot, and you can make money selling energy.”
