Super technology leader

[Driving, driving, get in the car!

[Excitement, this is a lunar rover, let me get in!

[I didn’t get in the car, hello, I didn’t get in the car. GIF]

[Gan, why can your barrage launch a picture!

[Hey, this driver is so familiar, isn't this Captain Tang?

[How lagging behind your news, people’s actual identity is the chief technology officer of Navigator!

[Fuck, isn't he, he is not 25 years old yet?A CTO at such a young age?

[Haha, there are even more exciting ones. People first learned art and space technology is just a hobby!

[Hey, why does this setting sound so familiar?

[No, space technology is just a hobby??Hobby becomes the chief technology officer of an aerospace company?

[No way, talent means being able to do whatever they want. People are real.

[Yes, the two rockets and all lunar equipment of the Navigator are currently led by others.

[Is it a super genius like Korolev and Von Braun?

[You said that, Captain Tang is only in his twenties, it is really possible!

[I'll talk about things later, let's see how Captain Tang's car skills are, don't overturn the car.

Tang Chao was ready. He and another lunar remote-controlled unmanned vehicle driver checked the various systems on one side, and then they were about to start.

The live broadcast of the driving this time is a split screen, with one screen each for "7 cars" and "8 cars", and then there are small screens of two drivers in the corner.

However, although it is a normal split screen, Tang Chao's reputation is greater, so there are still many viewers watching him.

After the preparation was completed, another driver was waiting for his order. He clicked on the console a few times and said, "The first time, 10 meters."

"Understood, 10 meters."

7 The driver of the car repeated his command and also pressed a few times on the keyboard.

They manually set the limit so that when the rover reaches 10 meters, it will automatically stop.

The two drove the lunar rover together, and the corresponding live broadcast began to move forward.

I saw the lunar rover traverse countless miniature moon craters and small moon rocks, and it took 8 seconds to walk 10 meters.

Then, the first manual manipulation test is over.

The command center began to analyze the data urgently.

But most of the viewers who watched the live broadcast...

???

what happened?

[Looking at Ji Mo...]

In their opinion, isn't it just 10 meters away?

Need to be so grand?

And is it proud to walk 10 meters in 8 seconds?

Is this too slow?

It's not surprising that these audiences can't figure out what's going on inside.

In fact, the top speed of the No. 7 and No. 8 lunar rover can reach 10 kilometers per hour, and the average running speed is 5 kilometers per hour.

This speed is naturally nothing on earth, not as fast as his red two-wheeled small electric car.

But on the moon, this is the old driver's speed. Once they run, the ordinary lunar rover can't see their taillights.

Take a running lunar rover as an example, such as...

Uh, 10 of the 12 lunar rover that can move on the moon are all pilots. It is obviously inappropriate to take my own lunar rover as an example.

So the remaining two cars, the one from Sakura Country, forget about it, for fear of causing international disputes.

Then only the "Yutu No. 2" rabbit is left.

Tianxia is his own, and he is well-known.

The movement speed of "Yutu II" is 200 meters per hour, which is equivalent to 5.6 centimeters per second.

Comparable to the falling speed of cherry blossoms.

But what does the little rabbit do?

Its full name should be "Monthly Watcher".The biggest advantage of the patrol device is that it can move!

Don't underestimate this feature, which means that it has much more research scope and content than landers that land on fixed points.

It carries equipment such as panoramic cameras, lunar radars, infrared imaging spectrometers, and neutral atom detectors, and can carry out a series of scientific research tasks in different areas.

Therefore, its most important mission-scientific research!

This means that most of its energy needs to be used in scientific research instruments, and the motion function only assists these instruments.

What about other similar lunar rover and Mars rover?

For the public, the most popular vehicles before were none other than Merrican’s "Courage", "Opportunity" and the larger "Curiosity" rover.

Rather than the White Bear’s Lunar Rover One and Lunar Rover Two, they are still "nuclear-powered."

No way, Meriken is good at publicity, and they are still alive.

Both the Valor and Opportunity are of the 185 kg level, and the mass is similar to the 140 kg of Yutu II.

However, the movement speed of the two Mars rover is also calculated in centimeters per second. The limit speed of the two Mars rover is only 5 centimeters per second, and the average movement speed is 1 centimeter per second.

The self-protection system of this kind of unmanned rover is very rigorous. They basically stop for 20 seconds every 10 seconds.

They need to check the terrain ahead, and then use their weak "IQ" to calculate to avoid risks and prevent overturning.

So in fact, the effect of the two Mars rover driving is: it takes 10 seconds to walk forward about the length of a human palm, and then stop for 20 seconds to see if there are pits in the road ahead, and then continue to work hard to move forward or change lanes. .

Even the later "nuclear-powered" Curiosity rover was larger, reaching 900 kilograms, but its speed was at this level.

In fact, if it is used in scientific research, the speed is not good. It is more important to "observe the smallest details" than "walk the horse and watch the flowers".

Therefore, scientific research patrol vehicles have this speed level of centimeters per second.

Not only do they have to walk slowly to facilitate their observation, but sometimes they have to stop and observe a certain place for a long time.

This is the case with Yutu-2, even though it can reach a speed of 200 meters per hour, but that is a straight line speed when there are no obstacles.

In fact, it has been running on the moon for more than two years, but it has not even reached 1,000 meters.

Can the lunar rover be fast?

of course.

Of course there are fast ones in the lunar rover, such as the "open-top" lunar rover driven by astronauts during the Apollo moon landing.

The fastest of these was the lunar rover of the Apollo 17 mission, which drove 17 kilometers per hour, or 4.7 meters per second.

Created the fastest human driving speed record on an alien planet.

However, it is only a one-time transportation, because its energy source is silver zinc potassium hydroxide, and it is a non-rechargeable battery.

To do scientific research, the astronauts still need to get off the car with equipment.

The advantage of the unmanned rover is that it does not require the presence of astronauts in person, but the disadvantage is that the speed is too slow.

In addition to "following the trend" to obtain scientific research data and photos, there is very little that can be done.

If scientists use photos to discover something that may have research value in a place a little far away, if they need to study in the past, it will take a long time.

This time the 7 and 8 cars are designed to solve this situation.

People can manipulate them on the earth, up to a maximum of 10 kilometers per hour, but the general maneuvering speed is limited to 5 kilometers per hour, which is about 1.39 meters per second.

The viewing angle of the lunar rover is good and can see far away.

Seeing the danger from a distance, except for the prompts given by the computer, the driver can see it with naked eyes, and the human brain can be counted. They can be manipulated to stop in time. Even if the signal is delayed, it is just another two or three meters ahead.

The speed of the remote control car is not "too fast", just make good predictions.

In this case, the remote control lunar rover does not say that it runs 5 kilometers per hour, but it must be at least 3 kilometers.

If scientists find strange places nearby through unmanned lunar rover or satellites, and want to study it in the past, they can allow ground drivers to remotely control such lunar rover to investigate.

The half-ton car body can take into account both speed and scientific research. There are as many scientific research equipment as the other six vehicles in the same batch.

We must know that the mass of the manned lunar rover is only 431 kilograms, and manned equipment is required, so it can only be used as a tool.
