This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 191
The reason why it is perfect to find water ice is because after finding water ice, the "outpost test cabin" can be upgraded to an "outpost".

After the title of "experiment" is removed, it is the first cabin of the Starry Moon Base, and this is the best place to build the Starry Moon Base.

In that case, the unmanned probe vehicles will leave the crater and return to the outpost, and then use the outpost as the center to detect outwards and draw a detailed topographic map around the outpost.

This is done to clear the obstacles for the landing of manned lunar landing ships, cargo transport ships and other construction cabins in the later stage, and also to provide a basis for the earth's technicians to plan a complete lunar base construction plan.

Outposts are meant to open the way.

But if no water ice can be found in the crater, then the "outpost test module" will really be a "test module".

After that, the unmanned vehicle will find a suitable landing site next to the test cabin, and after finding it, it will go to other places to look for water ice.

And that landing land is used to land the starry first manned moon landing spacecraft, where the astronauts will live in the test cabin and complete the feat of human beings staying on the moon for the first time for a long time!

As for how long it can stay, it depends entirely on the status of the astronauts and the continuous supply capabilities of the stars, as well as the progress of the search for the new base construction site.

If no good place can be found in recent years, then this "experimental cabin" will be used for a longer period of time.

Of course, if the inner wall of the crater is too steep and the unmanned vehicle cannot descend to the bottom of the 4000-meter-deep pit and cannot confirm the existence of water ice, then that is another matter.

After all, the inner wall height of 4000 meters is not easy to reduce. The inner and outer walls of a crater are different. Because it is defined as a "pit", it sinks.

And because of the impact force, the interior is relatively "smooth and steep", while the outer wall is relatively flat.

If it is assumed that the inner wall is at a 60-degree inclination, then the outer wall is at a 30-degree inclination, or even less.

Of course, this is a numerical assumption. The inside of the real crater is not a smooth wall, and its craters are also uneven. As long as you find a suitable mountain pass area, even if it happens to be connected with the lava pipes inside and outside, you can still enter the depth of 4000 meters. of craters.

Before that, though, the car had to be unloaded.

The outpost test module carries a lot of smart lunar rovers, a total of 15, of which 5 are large and 10 are small. The mass of the large one reaches 500 kilograms, and the mass of the small one is only 50 kilograms.

Needless to say, a large lunar rover weighing 500 kilograms is actually not too small. After all, the mass of the Yutu and Yutu-50 lunar rovers is only 140 kilograms.

Moreover, the lunar rover made by Practical Science and Technology has higher technology, and a lot of unnecessary weight has been reduced. For example, various physical wires have been replaced by wireless transmission equipment.

After all, the first unmanned Yutu lunar rover lost its ability to move, so it was suspected that a wire at the bottom of the rover was hung up by a rock.

After using the wireless transmission equipment, there will be no hanging wires. Coupled with advanced protection technology, there is no need to worry about the safety of the practical science and technology intelligent lunar rover.

The lunar rovers are hung on the outside of the bulkhead, to be precise, at the position of the fuel compartment below, so after the landing support is laid down and the balance is adjusted, the lunar rovers are only more than one meter away from the lunar surface, so the movement The bracket easily put 5 large lunar rovers down.

After the large lunar rovers landed, they did not deploy the equipment immediately, but drove the mechanical arms to put down the two small lunar rovers on their respective bodies.

So far, 15 lunar rovers have landed on the lunar surface.

And this scene was completed under the witness of all live viewers.

Yes, Fanxing's live broadcast is live again, but now it's mainly about the outpost test site and its related equipment, so the dominant position is on the practical technology side.

As a private company, it certainly wants to show off its strengths.

The audience watched in amazement as the lunar rover unfolded its solar panels, turned on all equipment, raised its camera and probe, and began to gather on the side of the outpost.

At this time, the live broadcast has been replaced by a camera facing the Shackleton crater in the outpost test module, so when all the lunar rovers turned to this side, the audience saw a spectacular scene.

Fifteen rovers move on the moon together.

At this time, their speed was not fast, and they even stopped after walking a certain distance, allowing the outpost to take a group photo, and then the camera of the No. [-] vehicle turned around, and also took an image of the outpost test module landing on the surface of the moon.

The audience who watched it said they were hooked.

After the mutual shooting was completed, 15 lunar rovers started racing on the moon.

It's really fast racing, even if they are not familiar with the "road conditions" on the moon, they also raced to 20 kilometers per hour!

Don't think that 20 kilometers per hour is very slow. It's not as fast as your two-wheeled electric bicycle, but this is on the moon.

And it depends on what its competitors are.

Take Fanxing's own lunar rover Yutu as an example, its design speed is 200 meters per hour.

Yes, that is, walking 200 meters in an hour.

This speed is equivalent to... 5.6 centimeters per second, which is comparable to the speed of five centimeters per second when cherry blossoms fall.

Theoretically, the Yutu lunar rover can walk 5 meters in 1000 hours.

But how long did it actually take to walk 1000 meters?

3 years!
In fact, it's not to blame that the little rabbit can't run fast, because it was not designed for drag racing, but for scientific research.

It carries equipment such as a panoramic camera, lunar radar, infrared imaging spectrometer, and neutral atom detector. It is moved just to carry out scientific research tasks in different areas.

Moreover, it is an unmanned exploration vehicle. If it falls on the moon, there will be no one to help it. Therefore, the self-protection system of this unmanned exploration vehicle is very strict. Basically, it stops for 10 seconds every 20 seconds.

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

So the actual effect of the Yutu is... Take 10 seconds to walk forward slowly, about the length of a human palm, and then stop for 20 seconds to see if there are any pits in the road ahead, and then continue to move forward or change course .

Sometimes you even have to stop completely and look at a certain place for a long time.

Sometimes you have to listen to the command on the ground and look around the mission point. It is normal to walk slowly.

Similar to the little rabbit is Lao Maozi's lunar rover 50 years ago. It ran a little faster, basically running 1 meters in a month.

During the 10 months of its operation, it carefully inspected the lunar surface of about 8 square meters, took more than 2 TV photos, and conducted research on the physical and mechanical properties of the lunar soil at more than 5 points on the driving line. The study carried out a chemical analysis of the soil at 25 points and a long-term investigation of the radiation properties of the lunar surface.

Can the lunar rover be fast?

of course.
