Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 343 Target: Mars

Because of the invention of artificial gravity technology, Ye Wenxin won the Physics Award in the 2028 Shennong Innovation and Progress Award.

Even Lin Wei and others who participated in the follow-up research were nominated for the Materials Science Award, which was a sensation in that year.

It was Deng Lin who won the Materials Science Award that year. His new technology of nanomaterials has made large-scale human migration to aliens a reality, and new nanomaterials will also become the main materials for space elevators in the future.

The reason why Lin Wei missed the Shennong Innovation and Progress Award is that the synthesis of Zhong-322 is more difficult than that of Gong Kong-310.

Therefore, the cost of Taiyi alloy 401 is 50% higher than that of other Taiyi alloys, so it cannot be put into large-scale applications.

However, Zhong Cheng has already used it on the latest Luanniao aerospace plane, and plans to use it on future deep space navigation spacecraft.

In the future, after the construction of a large-scale space station connected to the ground through a space elevator, the synthesis device of Zhong-322 will be built on the space station, so that its cost will be greatly reduced, and large-scale application will be possible.

When Zhong Cheng and Ye Wenxin were discussing the Zhong-322 synthesis device, Qin Wenyu came up excitedly.

"Cousin-in-law, cousin, what good things did you bring me back?"

Zhong Cheng helped Ye Wenxin up, pointed to the metal box on the ground, "A living genetic warrior!"

Qin Wenyu, who originally wanted to care about Ye Wenxin, was stunned, "Really?!"

She then threw herself on the metal box, about to open it.

Seeing this, Ye Wenxin quickly grabbed her, "Wenyu, you can't open it without the password, and you have to think about how to deal with the people inside to open it!"

"Oh?!"

Qin Wenyu stood up and slapped his head, "Yes, genetic warrior, that must be very powerful, let me think about it!"

Zhong Cheng said helplessly: "You first think about where to put her. I'll ask 9528 to take her there. As for how to deal with her, you can think about it slowly, but don't mess around!"

Qin Wenyu said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I am the same as the people from Xingwang Company? I have a bottom line, and I will return him alive and kicking to you!"

Ye Wenxin was unhappy when she heard this, "You can just keep it for yourself, why would you give it to Zhong Cheng, he is not a human trafficker!"

Qin Wenyu gave Ye Wenxin a strange look, "Is there a beautiful warrior here?"

"Okay, Qin Wenyu, hurry up, I still want to take your sister home, she still can't adapt to the gravity of the earth, this person will be handed over to you!"

Zhong Cheng interrupted Qin Wenyu's words, and with a few strokes, the fate of Alicia, the most powerful human warrior at present, was decided.

Zhong Cheng didn't want to care about what would happen to Alicia if she fell into the hands of researchers like Qin Wenyu. He didn't have any sympathy for those who almost killed him.

……

As soon as he got to work the next day, Zhong Chengcheng made a phone call with the director of the federal army's mecha training base, saying that he would send him a video of the latest mecha battle.

Let them study how mechas fight and fight in vacuum weightlessness or microgravity environment.

But don't ask about the context in which the combat video recording took place, only as teaching material research.

It would be best to put forward some suggestions for improving the White Tiger Mecha.

The director of the base replied happily, "Please rest assured, the chief, and ensure that the task is completed!"

Zhong Cheng smiled wryly and said, "Don't call me chief, I'm just an entrepreneur now, and I'm just fulfilling the obligations of a federal citizen!"

The director of the base resolutely replied: "No matter what, you will always be our instructor and commander!"

Zhong Cheng's heart felt warm, and he didn't say anything more.

Being a member of the China National Defense Force was the proudest thing in his life. Although he has left the army now, his heart has never left.

After fighting in the sea of ​​clouds on the moon, he was immediately worried that the current soldiers would not be able to predict the changes in the way the mechs fought.

In the past, the White Tiger Mecha was almost invincible on earth, and it didn't need to think about the problem of being hurt. The tactical actions it pursued were to wipe out the enemy as quickly as possible.

But if the opponent also has mechas with the same performance, or even better mecha fighters, in this case, the mecha combat technology must be completely changed.

Zhong Cheng was very worried. If the mecha fighters of the Federation really faced the genetic fighters equipped with the black warrior mechas, they still had a slight chance of winning.

But for the improvement of the mech warrior's physical fitness, the normal means must not be able to surpass the genetic warrior, unless...

While Zhong Cheng was walking back and forth in the office thinking about the problem, Shi Hanxing walked in lightly.

"Zhong Dong, everyone is here!"

"Oh!"

Zhong Cheng replied and checked the time, it was already 8:55.

"Let's go, let's go together, and you listen too!"

He has completed his expedition to the moon this time, and it is time to make a decision on the development plan of Red Star Company in the next few years.

This morning, a joint meeting will be held with the participation of all senior executives of Red Star Company and Kunlun Research Institute to finalize the development plan that was not finalized at the previous meeting.

Although this matter is important, it cannot be delayed any longer. The huge chariot of the Red Star Company has been ignited and ready to go.

Zhong Cheng walked into the conference room on the 30th floor, and the noise in the conference room fell silent.

He came to the main seat and beckoned everyone to sit down.

On the long conference table, on the left hand side are the senior leaders of the company headed by Zhou Hu, and on the right hand side are the leaders of the research institutes such as Zhao Wei, Lin Wei, Yang Xi, Liu Yuzhu, and Huang Wen.

Although Zhao Wei is now the principal of Red Star University of Technology, he still retains the post of vice president of the research institute.

According to the practice of Red Star Company over the years, after an important decision has been discussed by everyone, if there is no conclusion, Zhong Chenglai will make the decision directly, and there will be no endless discussion.

Red Star Company is an operating company, and unlimited democracy will only make the company unable to do anything.

So today's meeting is actually Zhong Chenglai announcing the result of his consideration, and there will be no further discussion.

Everyone looked at Zhong Cheng excitedly, guessing what he might think.

Zhong Cheng first introduced his experience on the moon, but only talked about the development of cities and industries on the moon.

He believes that the best development opportunities on the moon have been missed, and the best important resource collection sites and the most suitable settlement sites have been preempted.

Moreover, the moon itself is not suitable for large-scale development. Apart from being close to the earth and rich in helium-3 resources, it has no advantage over Mars.

So Zhong Cheng decided to give up developing on the moon, and the current development goal of Red Star Company is set on Mars.

However, the distance between Mars and the Earth is not comparable to that of the moon. The shortest distance is about 5500 million kilometers, and the longest distance is more than 4 million kilometers.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, the second closest to the earth, and Venus is the closest planet to the earth, but the environment is even harsher, so it is not suitable for the first development.

Mars and Earth have different revolution periods, so the distance between the two is constantly changing as they revolve around the sun.

When Mars moves around the sun to the point of difference of 180 degrees from the sun's ecliptic longitude, Mars, the earth, and the sun are on a straight line with the same orientation, and the earth is in the middle. At this time, the distance between Mars and the earth is the closest.

This situation is called Mars opposition in astronomy, and it occurs about every two years and two months.

This is the best time to travel from Earth to Mars.

But it will take 5500 days to reach the shortest distance of more than 24 million kilometers according to the current speed of Luanniao aerospace plane.

Moreover, it is impossible to complete the large-scale development of Mars with the load capacity of Luanniao aerospace plane of several thousand tons.

Therefore, the development of Mars must be divided into three steps!
