Hehehe...
Hearing Yu Chengwu's teasing, everyone present laughed.
Wu Hao nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I can see that you have put a lot of effort into this.
Forward thinking and imagination are extremely valuable qualities. They play a vital role in the development of mankind. They not only lead us to explore unknown areas, discover new laws, and innovate ways to solve problems.
It also allows us to stand out in a fiercely competitive environment and provide continuous power for the progress and development of human society. They illuminate the way for humans to explore the world and lead us into unknown territories.
It is the light of these thoughts and imagination that allows us to take the lead in the ocean of science and technology and create remarkable achievements one after another.
Well done, keep it up! "
"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Hearing Wu Hao's praise and recognition, Yu Chengwu's face felt as if he had eaten honey, showing a very bright smile, and he was very happy from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, it seemed that all their previous hard work and efforts were worth it.
It's not just that. The excited Yu Chengwu immediately changed a picture and continued to preach energetically.
Our Moon Express Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft can not only be used as an Earth-moon transfer spacecraft and a Earth-moon orbiting space station, it can also be used as our exploration spacecraft to Mars and deep space.
We only need to modify the Lunar Express cislunar transfer spacecraft, such as replacing it with a resource propulsion module that has greater thrust and carries more fuel and resources. Larger solar panels.
Add new compartments to expand the internal space to accommodate more non-urgent supplies and personnel.
We even installed a Stanford ring on this spacecraft, which is the huge ring we see in science fiction movies. The ring itself is also a spacecraft cabin. It will rotate slowly in space, thereby generating centrifugal force. Yes, the cabin on the ring will generate gravity, which can make it easier for astronauts to live in space for a long time.
We know that one of the biggest problems that prevents astronauts from surviving in space for extended periods of time is that space is in a zero-gravity environment. Therefore, astronauts will always suffer from a series of physical problems, the most common of which is the body's circulation problems, resulting in edema and a series of other problems. Physical problems.
With this centrifugal gravity chamber, our astronauts can be subject to gravity in space without any health problems caused by it.
Not only Mars, we can modify it on this basis, such as replacing it with an engine with greater thrust, or installing a nuclear power engine, a Hall engine with higher thrust, or replacing it with a solar sail. Let it have the capability of deep space navigation, so as to carry our spacecraft to explore the mysteries of the deep space universe further away.
Good guys, you guys have played a big game of chess. Zhang Jun sighed with emotion, then turned to look at Wu Hao with an annoyed look: "You are pretending to be here, I don't believe there is no handiwork of yours in this."
Hehehe...
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Yu Chengwu smiled, Zhou Xiangming smiled, and Wu Hao also smiled helplessly.
Yes, how could such a huge project not have Wu Hao's handwriting? In fact, it was he who proposed these deformation development plans. However, what he proposed was only plans and ideas. The specific design and development work was completed by the technical team led by Yu Chengwu and Lin Jiaming.
Of course, many of the technologies designed here naturally come from Wu Hao's golden fingers. Otherwise, how could we achieve so many technological breakthroughs in such a short period of time? This is obviously impossible.
So this Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station can also be turned into a Mars research station. Zhang Jun glanced at Wu Hao and then asked.
Yu Chengwu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's all right. The technologies we used on the moon can also be applied to Mars.
Of course, the environment on Mars is very different from that on the moon, so it cannot be fully tested. For example, Mars has an atmosphere, and sandstorms often blow on Mars. These are all issues that need to be considered.
In addition, the magnetic field of Mars is only one-tenth that of the Earth. Therefore, it has to withstand more cosmic rays, so the protection needs to be strengthened.
In addition, the soil on Mars is still very different from the soil on the moon, so how to use a 3D soil printer to print buildings is also an issue that needs to be considered.
Therefore, we are preparing to launch a Mars rover to conduct in-depth exploration of the Martian surface environment and prepare for our future Mars exploration. "
I know this. When is this Mars rover going to be launched? Zhang Jun then asked.
next year!
Yu Chengwu looked at Zhou Xiangming, who nodded and replied with a smile: "At present, the development work of this Mars rover has been basically completed, and relevant testing work is ongoing. If everything goes well, it can be launched next summer, which is exactly two years. A rare launch window.”
At this point, Zhou Xiangming changed his tone and continued: "Actually, this Mars rover is similar to the two 'Wangshu' lunar exploration rovers we launched to the moon. It should be that this Mars rover is the same as the Wangshu lunar exploration rover. developed on the basis of.
We have made relevant improvements based on the characteristics of the Martian environment so that it can adapt to the Martian environment.
For example, the most important point is to prevent sandstorms. Therefore, we equipped it with our latest generation super solid-state battery to give it better endurance performance.
In addition, we also equipped it with an isotope thermoelectric engine. Although its power is relatively small, it can keep the entire lunar rover in standby operation. Unlike traditional probes that rely on solar power to generate electricity, they are easily covered by sand and dust on Mars, or after entering aphelion, the intensity of sunlight is not enough and power generation drops sharply, causing them to sleep and shut down.
With this isotope thermoelectric generator, even if the entire solar panel is covered with sand and dust, it can slowly charge the battery, thereby starting the dust removal function and cleaning the dust on the solar panel.
In this way, the Mars exploration rover no longer has to worry about being covered by Martian dust, thereby greatly extending its operating time.
At the same time, because of the charging of solar panels, it can provide abundant energy support for the entire Mars exploration rover, which can support the Mars exploration rover to travel longer distances and run more powerful scientific research and detection equipment.
This is something that the isotope thermoelectric engine does not have. Although it can continuously supply power, its power is limited and the electricity generated is too little to support the operation of higher-power equipment. "
