Chapter 135: It's actually Moon Palace 2 on the 1st
Humans’ current mission to the moon is actually equivalent to land reclamation.
It's just that the moon is too barren for humans. Not only is the way to go, but there is also no way to survive there alone.
But the moon is very important. Its positioning is equivalent to a transit station for human beings to the stars.
Even the "station" underestimated the moon, which is at least a giant logistics base with industrial production capacity.
As long as humans can build a gathering place on it, then it means that humans have the qualifications to go to the stars.
It has low gravity, no atmosphere, abundant minerals and a large amount of water resources, allowing humans to construct various facilities in space in a cheaper way, because its orbiting conditions are much easier than that of the earth.
But these conveniences are the advantages of the later stage, and its early survival and construction conditions are quite ~ high!
So far, the human category says that it has used it to go to the stars, and it can't even develop it or even survive for a long time on it.
To develop, people must live there first, but humans have been there several times, each time they stayed for a short time and then left in a hurry.
Human beings to the moon are equivalent to paddling a canoe across the ocean to a deserted island. After arriving, they found that the place was not suitable for human survival. Not only did they not have food, drink, and use, but there were no houses that could shelter from wind and rain.
I can't live on it for a few days, without equipment and materials, it's impossible to smash a house with bare hands, I can only come back helplessly.
If there is a house on a desert island, it feels completely different.
People can feel at ease if they have a place to shelter from wind and rain.
It's a pity that humans can only travel across the ocean to a desert island in a canoe, and it is impossible for a canoe to carry a house over.
The same is true on the moon. Humans have been planning for a long time and have always wanted to build a forward base on it, so that scientists can live in with peace of mind, and then study everything on the moon with greater peace of mind, paving the way for future development.
In the past, people can only watch the promotion of CG and related film and television works, but now...
It turned out to be realized!
All of this originated from an aerospace press conference of the Tianxia Space Agency.
A CG promotional video was shown at the press conference, confirming the launch mission and launch time of the first Long March IX.
After that, the promotional film was officially posted to their respective official websites for everyone to watch and reprint.
[Tianxia and Navigator cooperate, Long March 9 will send mankind's first lunar test module to the moon!!
As soon as the news came out, related fields were directly fried, and then spread to other fields, and soon the world became aware.
Of course, it does not mean that more than seven billion people on the earth know it, but that the news has spread to every corner of the world.
Ordinary people may not understand the meaning of this matter, and only know that it is very critical, otherwise the news will not spread throughout the world, and those relevant people will directly shine.
They don't care about the Long March 9th or something. After all, Big Trotter is the same virtue as the Tianxia Army fans.
I have already understood it thoroughly before, even if there is an increase in transportation data.
Even if many people had the capacity of the Long March 9 last year, the settlement turned out that there is still considerable room for upgrades in its carrying capacity. Now this capacity growth is expected.
What they are concerned about is this lunar test module that suddenly emerged.
Its official name is "Yue Gong No. 2" Lunar Surface Laboratory, which is analogous to the previous Tiangong No. 1 space laboratory. Its function is to test a series of survival guarantee technologies and to do technical verification for the creation of a real "Moon Survival Zone" in the future.
But everyone knows that as long as this thing can land on the moon smoothly, it will be the first lunar base of mankind!
Because from its name and data, we can see the ambitions of Tianxia and Navigator.
Obviously it is the first one, why is it called "Moon Palace No. 2"?
That's because there is a "Yue Gong No. 1" on the earth, which is a comprehensive experimental device based on the life support artificial closed ecosystem of a space base at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Tianxia.
It is a large-scale ground-based experimental system established for the integration and verification of biological regeneration life support system unit technology, research system basic theories and methods, system design theories and methods, and system control technology.
In other words, this is for experiments, at least for ground experiments.
Ground tests are available. If you want to go to the moon to test and collect data, just make a smaller one?
It's easy and save money.
But Navigator doesn't have it, and it's a big guy.
The "Yue Gong No. 2" weighs 50 tons and has a diameter of 6.5 meters. After the upper Tianyang energy plate and the lower landing gear are deployed, the height can reach 8 meters.
Its landing engine is not underneath, but uses 4 "Cub" engines, installed in 4 positions on the outer bulkhead.
Regardless of its small size, 4 fully open can provide 13 tons of vacuum thrust for soft landing.
Netizens who have played Kanxing games know that this is another engine mentioned in Kanxing games.
They nodded in relief: "This is a navigator."
With this kind of engine layout, the cabin door of Moon Palace No. 2 is only one meter high from the surface of the moon, just a few steps.
The most important thing is its internal layout, it has two practical cabins!
Inside it is divided into air lock cabin, maintenance area, cultivation area, exercise area, work area, dining and entertainment area, sleeping area, etc., as well as independent bathroom to ensure no smell.
It allows four astronauts to live comfortably without feeling crowded.
This preparation is simply luxurious!
You tell me it's just an experimental cabin?
Do you believe it?
I don't believe it anyway.
We will call it the first lunar base of mankind.
Aerospace experts have done calculations in the past. If you want to explore and research something on the moon, such as finding water and mineral resources, studying the impact of the lunar environment on humans, etc., you must stay on the moon for at least one year.
The design life of this so-called experimental cabin is 5 years.
Everyone knows about space equipment. Just like the International Space Station, its design life is 10-15 years. How long has it been used now, and how long do you plan to use it?
Your product.
There is also the analogy of Yuegong-2 to Tiangong-1. The design life of that space laboratory is 2 years, and it is actually more than 4 years in orbit.
It is conceivable that this lunar base can be used for at least 10 years.
In the past 10 years, they are sure that Tianxia and Navigator will launch other components and finally form a larger moon base, a real "moon palace."
Just like the "Heavenly Palace" that will appear soon.
Nothing else, Niubi!
It's just that this flight mission made them very worried. Why did the first flight test of the Long March 9 carry out such an important mission?
The Moon Palace No. 2 alone is not counted. It seems that to prove that it is for testing, it does not carry any supplies in it. In addition to the stuffed equipment, it also carries 8 unmanned lunar vehicles.
8 lunar rover, it's damned!
Moreover, each lunar rover weighs 500 kilograms, and 8 takes up 4 tons of weight, one by one fixed on the outer bulkhead of Lunar Palace II.
"Didn't Tianxia always follow a prudent route? Why is it so reckless this time?"
"That's right, was it stimulated by Meriken's recent actions, in order to grab the top spot?"
"No, Meriken has only put up a bunch of animation simulations recently. In addition to watching lively cheers, anyone who knows a little bit knows that they have basically nothing to do. Tianxia will make such a reckless plan for this?"
"Then your knowledge is short. Public opinion is also a way of competition. Although the simulation animations released by Meriken only watch the lively cheers, there are so many people who watch the lively. So many people watch the lively. Ten thousand people believe it. Surprisingly, three people can become tigers, let alone ten thousand people."
"That is, if you let the marketing account hype and multiply it directly by 10,000 times, 100 million people would believe it was true, and that day, I would vomit blood.
"I don't think Tianxia will be so reckless. Perhaps they have confidence in their rockets. The SLS rocket on Merrican's first flight will have to hit the Orion spacecraft and orbit the moon directly. Are they also reckless?"
"Hey, after watching the video, let's go to the live broadcast, maybe we can ask this question."
Compared with a few minutes of video, the press conference takes a long time, so after watching the video, they watch the live broadcast of the press conference. The live broadcast has a comment area and a barrage question answering link. There are also reporters asking questions on the spot. This question is quickly received Answered.
The conference spokesperson smiled three times.
"This is just a normal first flight test mission."
"Not targeting any specific organization."
"The so-called space race is even more fictional."
Foreign netizens may not understand, but domestic netizens understand it.
"Here's here, it's three serious ties, steady!"
