Super technology leader

From the very beginning, Tianxia's manned moon landing plan is not a "tourist" manned moon landing.

The so-called "tourist" manned moon landing is actually the kind of manned moon landing by Meriken decades ago.

Landing on the moon with a manned lunar landing device, exiting the cabin and landing on the moon, announcing that humans have finally landed on the moon, and then spend a few or ten hours on the surface of the moon, and finally bring some souvenirs, that is, bring some lunar soil back to the earth .

This is the "tourist" manned moon landing.

Of course, this is actually a bit inaccurate and a bit of political irony. After all, this kind of manned moon landing still has some scientific value.

However, it is also limited.

Because the longest activity on the moon is more than 20 hours, there is too little time, and because of the limitations of the moon landing equipment, there are too few scientific experiments that can be done.

It's understandable that Tianxia didn't want to make this kind of manned moon landing. After all, the politically significant title of "Human First" has been taken by Merrican. It's better to do something more practical.

Therefore, Tianxia’s plan skipped the "tourism-style" manned landing on the moon, and did not do those repetitive but meaningless things, and went directly to the moon base so that astronauts could stay on the moon for a long time.

Once successful, the residence time will skyrocket. The initial plan is one year.

During this process, equipment can be transported there again, allowing astronauts and scientists to better survive and do scientific research on the moon.

Studying the psychological and physiological problems of human beings on foreign planets, as well as the geomorphic structure of the moon, historical causes, and resource divisions are very important for the establishment of permanent bases in the future and better development and utilization of the moon.

This plan was originally to be carried out ten years later, but after Tang Chao's full set of Long March 9 technology was obtained, the manned moon landing plan was greatly advanced, but the design, verification, and manufacturing speed of the lunar base housing module could not keep up.

Fortunately, it has already started, and because of the technical success of the new generation of manned spacecraft, it should be able to catch up.

But he didn't expect that Tang Chao gave them another surprise.

Originally, the first test flight of the Long March 9 rocket should carry a test satellite platform to verify various technologies, but its tonnage is too small to verify whether the Long March 9 can fly. If it is to verify other things, that’s true. Can not be verified.

Think of the number of pre-test flights of the famous lunar rocket "Saturn V" in order to achieve a manned landing on the moon, you can see from the mission number of "Apollo 11" that achieved the first human landing on the moon.

Even if the first time that Long March 9 was transported to the moon was an unmanned lunar base living module, and Tianxia didn’t have the money to do so many experiments, but at least two shots would be needed to try it. Open up.

Who can stand this?

And his reason is...

"The technology of Long March 9 is provided by me. I know its capabilities and believe in your manufacturing capabilities. I think you have simulated it many times. What is the success rate?"

What is the success rate?

Although they have not actually launched it, they have simulated it more than a thousand times, and the success rate has reached 99.28%.

This value is quite impressive, even if it is just a simulation value.

After getting Tang Chao's "Long March 9" technology, they made a comprehensive comparison with the Long March 9 technology they were studying. They found that the technology provided by Tang Chao was better than what they were studying.

Not only is the technology more perfect, he even provides the technology for manufacturing equipment.

Due to the long-term blockade in technology, many related cutting-edge manufacturing equipment cannot be bought and can only be made by yourself. However, due to the problem of technology accumulation, the equipment made by yourself is almost meaningless. You can imagine the parts made with these self-made equipment. To the problem.

Now that Tang Chao has given all these technologies, he can manufacture the top equipment in China, and the quality of the parts made with these top equipment can be imagined.

This superposition of positive factors has of course greatly increased the success rate of the "new" Long March 9 and even its performance.

They calculated the latest data, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity has increased to 190 tons, and the lunar orbit carrying capacity has increased to 55 tons.

This is not the final data. Long March 9 still has a lot of room for improvement, and even the first improvement is on the agenda.

After Tang Chao's reminder, they came back to their senses. In fact, the success rate of the Long March 9's first rocket was quite high, but what they had undertaken was a national mission, and they had been following a safe route.

Now that Tang Chao had made this request and wanted to use the Long March 9 flight test mission to transport the moon base residence module to the moon, they naturally... agreed.

The experimental satellite platform that was originally used as a test load is also quite expensive, and it is also helpless to launch with an experimental rocket. It is still noisy with less funds, and I can only think of a way to do more with less money.

But once the experimental rocket fails, the experimental satellite platform will also become fragmented. With the addition of R&D, design, and manufacturing costs, hundreds of millions or billions of dollars will not be able to beat.

"So this matter is so decided?" Tang Chao asked.

"Yes, we can decide on this," the person from the Aerospace Group said, "but some details need to be discussed in a meeting. You prepare the information and let's find time for a meeting."

"Okay, this is okay, how about a week later?" Tang Chao was even more straightforward.

"can."

After receiving a reply, Tang Chao nodded, and then said: "This is the case, then the next one, ten days later and the core module launch. Our company also has a space station plan, or a space capsule."

"You also know that our company intends to engage in space tourism, so we want to provide tourists with a place to stay on orbit. There is a space capsule in the early stage. We plan to dock on the Tiangong space station, don't know if it is possible?"

Commercial space capsule docked to Tiangong space station?

After listening to Tang Chao talking about this issue, the two in the video were stumped, because this matter is hard to say, it is not the same as using the Long March 9 to launch the lunar housing module.

There is no one in the first lunar housing module. The test nature of the Long March 9 launch belt is equivalent to taking a car or the car under test. The Pioneer company also bears certain risks.

But connecting a commercial space capsule to the Tiangong space station is different. It is for tourists. The Tiangong space station undertakes a lot of experiments and experiments, which is very important for Tianxia.

Not to mention whether there will be problems with the Tiangong space station itself, if there is a problem with the cabin in this section, even if the Tiangong is destroyed with it, the loss... it is not just a question of losing money.

Even if there is no technical problem in this section of the cabin, the tourists who stay in the cabin are not professional astronauts after all. If they do something, the consequences will be as bad.

Moreover, people have already explained that it is a commercial cabin and will be delivered by itself, so it is impossible to conduct censorship like selecting astronauts. If someone deliberately messes with it, the consequences will be even worse.

So this matter, they can't make a decision.

But it was Tang Chao who brought it up, so the people from the space agency said, "Well, Comrade Tang Chao, you also prepare the space capsule plan data. We will discuss it when we meet in a week later, how about?"

"After all, this matter is more difficult than the previous one. I hope you can understand. We also have to hold a meeting in advance.

Hearing this answer, Tang Chao smiled, as long as there is a chance.

"Of course, cooperation. It must be mutually beneficial. Both parties' conditions must be taken care of. That's it. Let's see you in a week."

"it is good."
