Super technology leader

"Datong leading students are disappointed with us!"

In the meeting room of the Meriken Space Agency, Kuna, the spokesperson for the chief commander, patted the table and said.

The classic scene reappeared, and everyone else in the conference room felt that this scene had appeared several times, and some even wanted to laugh.

"Tianxia will conduct a manned lunar landing mission on the 16th of this month, so according to our previous plan, we must launch our manned lunar landing spacecraft before the end of the month, but now we have no plan for our lunar landing spacecraft. determine!"

"Before you all said that your plan has reached 99%. It is difficult for us to make a judgment or make a choice. Now it's fine, Tianxia made the choice for us!"

"Therefore, after a meeting of the think tanks, it was decided that the standard adopted for the plan is now unified. There is only one, that is, whose spacecraft can be launched first, and it must be launched within this month, we will adopt whose plan!"

Well, some people can't laugh now.

The previous plan was indeed like this, and at that time Tianxia re-set the manned moon landing mission execution date not so early, and they did not expect the other party to advance so much.

The progress is 99%. Everyone is just talking about it. After all, you have to compete for orders. Why don't you make a big blow?

If you don't criticize yourself, how could the space agency choose its own plan?

Just like you are late for work, did you tell your boss "not up" or "on the road"?

You played for a day, and the client came to urge you to work. Did you say "it didn't start" or was it "doing it"?

The answer is obvious.

On the road (just got up).jpg

Doing it (turn on the computer).jpg

It's just that Tianxia has directly set the launch date on the 16th, and all the systems have been activated. The equipment required for the mission is already on the road, which is obviously a real game.

It’s a real thing to play on the opposite side. The situation on Meriken’s side is like the boss came directly to your door. Do you want to go out or arrive at the company soon, and you will be able to come out soon.

So now the three companies are a bit awkward. Fortunately, not all three companies are "99% (new folder)". Two companies are progressing well.

That is, netizens are not optimistic, but the industry is optimistic about two companies and two moon landing equipment.

The "National Team" moon landing equipment of Deep Blue Origin is a re-enacted version of the "Apollo" moon landing equipment of the year. It is also a classic upgrade and downgrade structure, stacked one by one.

It's just that the "National Team" moon landing equipment is bigger, and the stack is higher.

The height of the Apollo moon landing equipment is 7 meters, while the national team's moon landing equipment has reached 12 meters.

The weight has also changed from 15 tons to more than 30 tons.

Say it is an enlarged replica, it is really an enlarged replica. At the beginning, the Apollo spacecraft was down the stairs, and it also took the stairs.

The point is that even if the original Apollo moon landing spacecraft stairs were only 2 meters high, the astronauts had spent a lot of effort to get down, but the national team's moon landing spacecraft stairs were 9 meters high...

This……

It was really straight, tall, and magnificent.

But it looked spectacular on the ground, and it was a fatal flaw on the moon.

When an astronaut puts on an extravehicular spacesuit with limited mobility and goes down the stairs, it may take him a day to get down to the surface of the moon.

Fortunately, because the spacecraft becomes larger, the spacecraft stays on the moon surface for a longer time. The Apollo moon landing spacecraft can stay on the moon surface for a maximum of 3 days, while the national team spacecraft can stay for 7 days, enough for astronauts to get on and off. Spaceship.

Takeoff is also the traditional way to take off. Throwing away the big descent stage, the upgraded jet module takes the manned cabin into the air, and then docks with the Orion spacecraft in lunar orbit and returns to Earth.

Because its breakthrough is not great, its progress is indeed good, and it is the fastest of the three plans.

Then there is the "base" moon landing equipment of Power Systems.

It is called this name because it looks more like a lunar base than a spacecraft.

Its technological breakthrough is not big, but there is a big breakthrough in the arrangement of power modules.

In contrast to the larger modules, the height of the National Lunar Landing Spacecraft broke 12 meters, but the height of the Lunar Landing Spacecraft Base decreased to only 4 meters.

Of course, the manned cabin is low, and it is not too low if the solar panels are extended upwards, and the height is more than 10 meters.

The reason why the manned cabin has such a "low" degree is because it removed the power platform originally placed underneath and arranged it on both sides of the manned cabin.

There are two large fuel tanks on both sides of the manned cabin. The injection system is installed on the two internal test fuel tanks. When it descends, it first consumes the fuel from the outer fuel tank, and when it approaches the moon surface, it discards the two outer fuel tanks. Tank so that it can land smoothly.

Take off is easy to say, the extra things are already discarded when landing, so just take off directly.

The key is that its manned cabin is very low from the ground, so the stairs are also low, only 1 meter!

Not to mention the 9-meter-high thing, it is lower than the previous 2-meter staircase, which is very convenient for astronauts to get on and off the spacecraft.

Because of the change in structure, its progress is a bit slower than that of Deep Blue Origin’s spacecraft. However, like Deep Blue Origin, it is led by its own company, and then it is jointly developed by several companies. If you urge the progress of other companies, It should be faster.

Of course, if it can be fast, the origin of Deep Blue can also be fast, so basically it is not fast.

Finally, the space fork "Moon Landing Starship" that netizens are optimistic about.

Compared with the joint research and development of the other two, it is solo, and it is not only solo, its moon landing spacecraft is also super huge.

Its height exceeded 30 meters, and its weight exceeded 100 tons.

Because the power system and fuel tank are below, its exit is more than 20 meters away from the moon, and it can only be lifted up and down.

This sounds enthusiastic to netizens, but it also indirectly increases the difficulty of its development and use.

Let's talk about the development first. Originally, its target was the "standard lunar landing time" two years later, which was the time for returning to the moon officially set by Meriken.

Who knew that because of the sudden appearance of the pilot company, the time of Tianxiaren’s landing on the moon was directly advanced several years, and suddenly ran to the front of Meriken’s plan to return to the moon, so Meriken was not reconciled and asked three of them. The company's "99%" progress has also advanced.

In fact, it’s okay to be a little bit earlier, and it’s okay to squeeze in time. Who knows that Tianxia jumped three times and two times and jumped directly to the 16th of this month.

At this point, the other two companies have not completed it, let alone Space Fork's "Big Mac" moon landing starship.

In terms of use, it also requires space orbit "refueling" technology.

The starship is too big and too heavy. If you don't refuel in the earth's orbit, it can't go anywhere.

If the time is two years later, all the problems will not be a problem. With the "sci-fi" performance and appearance, it can definitely get the moon landing order.

Unfortunately, there is no two years.

So this time I can only give up.

Fortunately, Space Fork is now holding a large number of orders in the orbit of the earth, and there is no need to make money. After a year or two, the lunar starship can still grab the lunar market.

The other two companies also understand this truth, so they must take this order down.

Their moon landing spacecraft do not have the advantage of late stage, they can only do the early stage first, and then think of a solution.

The boss of Deep Blue Origin said: "Choose us, we can set the launch time on March 31st, and our equipment progress has really reached 99%. There is enough time for safety testing to ensure that this moon landing mission is 100%. %success."

Although the National Team’s lunar landing spacecraft is not as close to completion as he said, it’s really about the same, working 24 days a day for a month, which is equivalent to three months of working days.

The boss of the power system retorted: "We can set the time on March 30, and we also guarantee the mission is 100% successful, and the other party’s spacecraft stairs are too high, it is very dangerous for the astronauts to go up and down, and it is extremely time-consuming, seriously squeezing scientific research. Working hours."

"you……"

The boss of Deep Blue is in a hurry, and it is difficult to refute if he wants to refute. This is a direct disclosure, so the thoughts in his brain flashed one by one, and he had to think of a countermeasure.

Suddenly he thought of the elevator of the moon starship, yes, we can also build the elevator!

"Height is not a problem, we can also build elevators," the owner of Deep Blue slapped on the conference table and said excitedly: "Elevators can be used for the 20-meter exit height of the lunar starship, and our 9-meter height is not a problem. !"

"And we can also set the launch date on March 29! If done properly, we can also land on the moon in March!"
