Super technology leader
Chapter 337 Spaceship "Fan Yue"
The previous wave of mankind’s moon landings was more than fifty years ago. At that time, when Meriken and Lao Maozi were fighting for hegemony, mankind stopped landing on the moon since they discovered that the moon landing was not very beneficial.
In other words, Meriken does not need to use the moon landing to increase its influence and show off its strength.
After all, the initial manned landing on the moon is really meaningless to most humans.
It is the same even for the senior executives of Meriken, as long as they win the first time, the next few times are obviously in the category of "loss."
The main reason was that the opponents at the time were not up for the better. In the early days of the space race, Meriken was crushed and beaten. As a result, Lao Maozi got stuck when he was manned to the moon. Later, Meriken flew into the sky, and Lao Maozi did not take any man until his death To the moon.
If the opponent does not land on the moon, it is equivalent to giving up. That Meriken will be a big fool if he spends money on the moon landing project, so the two sides opened a new battlefield and fought again in the space station field.
The matter of landing on the moon was naturally left behind.
But with the development of technology and the progress of the times, the importance of the moon has become more and more prominent.
Let alone a nuclear fusion project that is getting closer and closer to success, there is a large amount of pollution-free nuclear fusion fuel on the moon, enough for humans to use it to death.
For this, it is time for the moon to occupy its territory.
Not to mention there are aliens here.
Aliens are staying honestly on Mars, but who can tell if they have summoned a fleet?
It's really going to start an interstellar war. The moon, a satellite orbiting the earth, is a strategic location.
If military facilities can be built on the moon, they can definitely become a bridgehead for mankind to resist aliens.
Even internally, it is an absolute military fortress.
Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the air supremacy of modern warfare.
At the beginning, the two countries’ manned moon landing plans included this purpose, but it was not easy to go up with the technology at the time, let alone build on it, and the moon was close to each other on a cosmic scale. But it is still too far from a human perspective.
Going back and forth for several days, for humans who have always talked about "quick strikes", the strategy of hitting the world in a few hours is too long. Then the military operations on the lunar base are too long.
It's just that I haven't cared about the moon for decades, and I don't want to spend 10 billion to do 100 million things. Then the crude rocket and the same crude moon landing equipment must not be used, but it is cheaper to redesign and manufacture. The rocket and moon landing equipment will take time.
Fortunately, at this time, private aerospace forces appeared, and the situation was much better than before. So there was a phenomenon that the national team paid money and then various private aerospace companies grab orders.
Gradually, there is the current situation.
At present, there are several new moon landing equipment in the world, but the equipment of Maozi, Europa and Peacock is still in the design stage. At present, the most is PPT. The ones that have been remanufactured are the three from Meriken and Tianxia. One.
Tianxia is naturally the pilot's "Fan Yue" moon landing spacecraft.
Among the four spacecrafts, netizens are most optimistic about the Navigator and Space Fork.
Because the average netizen is the group that looks the most and likes the new and dislikes the old.
Meriken’s other two moon landing devices seem to have a high success rate, because their essence is not much different from the devices used for decades of moon landing. Although the technology must be upgraded, but in terms of appearance, it is still extremely pragmatic. .
Typical "building violation" style.
Many people felt sorry for the word "spaceship" in the original Meriken manned moon landing spacecraft, because they did not look aesthetically pleasing, many equipment were bare, and the landing legs, reinforcement rods, and antennas were also stretched wantonly.
The most important thing is the manned cabin because it needs to house people, put equipment, and wrap the fuel tank. It is really a protruding part here and a recessed part there. In order to reduce the weight and manufacturing difficulty as much as possible, it does not have any arcs. Now, straight up the tablet.
In this regard, the old Maozi moon landing spacecraft that may have failed to land on the moon is a little more beautiful. Its power injection module is a bit crude and the fuel tanks are exposed, but the manned cabin is beautiful.
Compared with the messy polyhedral manned cabin of Meriken, which has no idea how many faces, at least the manned cabin is designed to look like a spherical shape.
Of course, Lao Maozi’s lunar landing spacecraft is relatively small, weighing only 5 tons, and carrying only one astronaut, so the design is "relatively" simpler.
And the beautiful moon landing spacecraft weighs 16 tons and needs to carry two astronauts. Naturally, there are more requirements. In order for it to complete its mission, it naturally has no time to take care of other aspects. You must first make it fly and be able to Landing and able to carry people.
Now the other two Meriken spacecraft are similar to the spacecraft at that time, and they are more advanced in technology, but the appearance is...very traditional.
Most of the netizens are Yangou. The so-called "Three Views Follow the Five Senses", some netizens look at people like this, and they look at technological equipment like this.
Of course, people and machines are incomparable. A good-looking person is not necessarily a good person, but the appearance of a machine is higher, which really means that it has a high technological content and a stronger "combat".
In this regard, the space fork’s starship moon landing spacecraft won. It maintained a consistent "bullet" shape, smooth and concise, and it was white all over and looked very beautiful.
And it can also be reused, using a booster to take off from the earth, and then launch two more fuel to refuel the "starship" to refuel it, and it can fly to the moon.
After landing on the moon, unload people and unload cargo, refuel and then take off and return to Earth.
The idea is good, but... too much preparation is required.
Therefore, in the eyes of industry insiders, the success rate of the other two "retro" schemes is high, just for the return to the moon.
However, the progress of the three plans is similar. Although the Starship Rockets have won in low-Earth orbit, the victory of the three on the moon has not yet been determined.
Meirui's return to the moon is definitely approaching. I don't know which one will be chosen.
On the navigator's side, the "Benyue" moon landing spacecraft has checked the last few items and can be transported to the launch center after the inspection.
The moon landing spacecraft "Benyue" is 12 meters tall, which is 4 meters higher than the Moon Palace II, which is already on the moon without solar panels, but its weight is 10 tons less, only 40 tons.
Because the diameter of the Moon Palace 2 reached 6.5 meters, and the diameter of the Moon Landing spacecraft was 5.5 meters.
Also because of the need to carry people, its "belly" is relatively empty, at least eight lunar rover is not packed in.
Its shape is also similar to the bullet type, but compared to the completely smooth starship moon landing spacecraft, it also has a lot of external equipment added to the shell, so it is considered to be between "old-fashioned moon landing spacecraft" and "science fiction moon landing spacecraft". A design between.
This makes it attractive and powerful, and it can be easily manufactured by Navigator.
From the beginning to the present, it has not yet been a year.
Compared with the "telephone poles", it is erected quite high, the manned cabin is still on the top, and the starship lunar landing spacecraft, which relies on elevators to get out of the cabin, is much shorter. In addition, the fuel tank and the propeller are hung on After four weeks, the hatch can be placed at the bottom, and the landing can be completed by walking three or four steps.
And it can be reused.
As long as it gets fuel replenishment on the moon, it can easily travel between the earth's orbit and the moon's surface.
