Soon, a video was posted on Haoyu Aerospace’s community account. The video shows a "treasure hunt" convoy of four personalized lunar rovers from various angles, slowly driving on a desolate lunar surface, surrounded by large and small circular craters and some undulating soil. Mounds and large and small gravel.

Suddenly the vehicle and the convoy stopped, and when the camera zoomed in, it was discovered that the Wangshu-2 lunar patrol test vehicle driving at the front had sunk into the lunar soil.

Soon the rescue began, which showed that the Wangshu-2 lunar patrol test vehicle began to increase the power of the four pairs of driving wheels, allowing it to increase its power output, so that it could escape from the lunar soil.

Immediately afterwards, a rope was seen extending from the winch at the rear of the Wangshu-2 patrol test vehicle, and then a small six-wheel remote control vehicle was pulling it towards the three stopped vehicles behind.

The Wangshu No. 2 patrol test vehicle pulled the rope and continued to move forward.

Behind this video is a magnificent lunar scene. The lower half of the scene is the lunar surface, with large and small craters, craters, gravels of different sizes, and undulating mounds. From near to far, disappearing into the curved skyline.

Above the skyline, there is a deep universe, without any stars appearing, it looks so dark and pure.

But a set of white calligraphy fonts jumped out from the screen, forming a sharp contrast with the dark universe behind it.

"We are on the way, please don't worry about us!"

Just these eight short words, without any explanation or explanation. But these eight words and this short video are telling everyone, don’t panic, everything is under control.

Although the team had problems on the moon, it was under control and it was no big deal.

And from this video, everyone can also see the real process of the movement of these four vehicles. Although the video is short, everyone still found out a lot of useful things.

For example, the convoy of these four vehicles moves very fast, unlike other patrol detectors on planets that move slowly. The speeds of these four vehicles are all very fast, although compared to the vehicles on Earth, this speed is already considered slow.

But on extraterrestrial planets, they are definitely second to none, and there is no other proud existence.

According to the calculations of netizens, the speed of these four vehicles reached 22 kilometers per hour. This is definitely a pioneering feat. It should be said that they are racing on the moon.

If a car runs so fast, it is taking a risk, or it is a coincidence and an attempt. The fact that a convoy of four vehicles all ran so fast shows that Haoyu Aerospace has mastered very advanced technology in extraterrestrial planet patrol detectors, especially the high-speed travel technology of detectors.

This technology is so difficult that many detectors have not been able to try it until now.

The first difficulty with this technology is that it requires a very powerful power system. This may sound easy, but how to operate it normally on an extraterrestrial planet requires its full performance, which is more difficult. Difficult.

As far as the moon is concerned, because there is no atmosphere, it is exposed to radiation from the universe and the sun. So how to resist this radiation is a problem.

Secondly, because there is no atmosphere, the temperature difference between day and night on the moon is very huge. During the day, the temperature of the moon under sunlight can reach 127 degrees, but at night, the temperature of the moon's surface can plummet to minus 183 degrees. A temperature difference of more than 300 degrees is a severe test for the performance of any equipment and materials.

The power equipment itself is a piece of equipment that requires ordinary operation. Especially in high temperature conditions during the day, the lunar exploration rover has to travel at high speed, so it must generate very high temperatures, which is also a test for the driving equipment.

At night, the extremely low temperature is a very severe test for the materials on the driving equipment, especially some materials that are not resistant to low temperatures, such as lubricating oil, rubber materials, etc.

Therefore, it is not easy to ensure that the driving equipment can still operate at high speed in such a cruel environment.

Secondly, at such high speeds, it is simply impossible to achieve remote control command. Because the moon and the earth are relatively far apart, there is a delay in communication back and forth. Coupled with the processing and response speed of the equipment itself, this also takes time. Therefore, during continuous driving at such high speed, the ground cannot intervene at all.

Because of the time delay, by the time the ground remote control command intervenes, the vehicle may have traveled more than ten or dozens of meters.

This is also the reason why those extraterrestrial probes travel so slowly, because they need to rely on earth controllers to remotely control the direction and distance of the probe by detecting the images fed back.

Basically, it's a little bit of control and a little bit of walking, so the whole process is relatively slow. This is also for the sake of safety. After all, extraterrestrial planets are very far away from the earth. Even the nearest moon is 380,000 kilometers away. The average distance of the popular planet Mars is 200 million kilometers.

Therefore, the cost of launching a detector is very high, and it is also not easy.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the detector does not have malfunctions or accidents during travel, extra care must be taken every step forward. Only after repeated confirmation that there are no problems will the order be issued, which is why the travel speed is so slow.

The four vehicles in Haoyu Aerospace's fleet are traveling so fast, which means that these four vehicles are not controlled by ground remote control, but use automatic driving technology. Only in this way can we say Yes, why are these four vehicles traveling so fast, and how can they easily avoid the potholes, scattered gravel and uneven roads on the moon?

And everyone knows that Haoyu Technology, the parent company of Haoyu Aerospace, has always been an important contributor to autonomous driving technology. Therefore, there is no reason for the excellent autonomous driving technology displayed by these four vehicles during driving. It’s hard to understand.

Despite this, everyone is amazed by such advanced and intelligent autonomous driving technology, especially the performance of driving wildly on the moon.

Once upon a time, we all watched the various displays of other people's detectors, and we could only drool with envy. Space fans must feel this deeply.

It's like about two thousand years ago, we were drooling when we looked at other people's 88 Fleet, Aegis, and Kitty Hawk. Now, we are finally proud. The 10th Fleet, Aegis, Kitty Hawk, and even the Enterprise are all rotten fish.

What others have, we have the same, and better!
