From black technology to super engineering

After everyone laughed for a while, Ye Ming pondered again, and said seriously: "However, going to Mars is not as simple as landing on the moon-the higher-ups know the difference in difficulty, right?"

Director Niu nodded: "Don't worry, we are very clear-headed here, and there is no one who wants to inject disinfectant into the body..."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Ye Ming and He Mo coughed at the same time.

Good guy, that's what it means.

But since Director Niu said so, Ye Ming felt relieved a lot.

What he is most afraid of is that his superiors do not know the difficulty of landing on Mars.

Although they are all landing on "alien celestial bodies", the difficulty of Mars is much higher than that of the moon. It seems that after the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion engines, space travel has become a reality, but long-distance and short-distance running, that is It's so different.

As far as this moon landing is concerned, whether it is NASA or Xichang, countless countermeasures have been made in various aspects-to put it bluntly, as long as there are no dead people, at this distance between the earth and the moon, if you resist it for a few days, the ground will be fine. Can launch rockets up to retrieve people.

It is nothing more than a question of cost.

Try changing to Mars? The period of landing on Mars can be as long as several months or even several years. The most effective plan is to pray that nothing happens.

Moreover, the lengthening of the time scale will not only increase uncertainty, but also greatly test the reliability of the spacecraft and the psychological and physical fitness of the crew.

"Then let's calculate the window period for landing on Mars first - I remember the last window period was November 2024. Then the window period this time is..."

Ye Ming was stunned immediately after speaking: "January next year?"

The so-called window period refers to the two or three months before the phenomenon of "Mars opposition to the sun"-the spacecraft launched at that time will reach Mars at the fastest speed.

Mars is at opposition to the sun, which means that the sun, the earth, and Mars are in a straight line, and the earth is between Mars and the sun-at this time, the distance between the earth and Mars is the closest.

Since the revolution period of Mars is about 780 days, the period of this window time is also 780 days-exactly 26 months.

If you miss it, the farthest distance between Mars and the earth will reach 2.6 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit = the average distance from the earth to the sun, about 150 million kilometers).

It will even run to the other side of the sun, facing the earth every other day...

"This is impossible."

Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death, I really want to go to heaven in January next year... Don't talk about the repair time, it's a communication..."

Ye Ming closed his mouth and didn't finish speaking.

Because the brand-new Weibo interference receiving end that he added to the Weibo encryption system has not yet been designed, and even if the design is completed, even if it can run, it can only be used with the super simulation at present.

Before it is adapted to Aita, don't reveal too many details.

Director Niu didn't care about his sudden stop, and laughed: "I don't think Musk will dare to go to heaven next year, right?"

"Well, they should also wait for 2029."

"So, how can we be faster than them, to see if we can avoid the window period..."

Ye Ming nodded: "Li Dazhuanfei, if Musk doesn't change the engine, even if he uses all the tritium in the world, he has to launch it in time for the window - and then the fusion engine, the momentum conservation must also be followed of."

"But what if they change the engine?" Director Niu looked at Ye Ming: "Change the position, if you were with Lao Mei, if you were Musk... would you deal with the current situation?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback.

...

white house.

A special meeting of the aerospace sector is being held.

Since the astronauts who landed on the moon were packaged on the Yaoyue, everyone present was actually relieved-because if other plans were implemented, not to mention more money, there would be fear...even if the plan was carried out according to the safest plan. If you let them go home directly, it will become a laughing stock.

Now it's like this... Apart from losing face, it's actually okay.

But if you lose face on the moon, you will definitely have to find it elsewhere.

"The opposite party has never announced the Mars plan, and I also believe that according to the character of the opposite party, since they preemptively built a factory on the moon and gave a series of plans such as a space city, an orbital factory, and a space observatory, then they did not It means landing on Mars."

Director Bowles analyzed seriously. Although he spoke to the owner of the white house, his gaze was on Musk.

Hmm... In fact, today's protagonist is Musk.

Because everyone wants to persuade him to give up landing on Mars, and instead let Ares land on the moon with supplies and equipment, and build a helium-3 factory on the moon-then use the helium-3 engine spacecraft to complete the feat of landing on Mars.

Not a good idea for Musk's aspirations.

But for the whole country, it is the best choice to catch up and surpass in the space competition.

Only by realizing the industrialization of helium 3 can it keep up with the pace of the opposite side in space.

Facing everyone's eyes, Musk remained silent.

"We must repeat the plan of Yaoyue, it is definitely not possible." Musk frowned, shaking his head slightly: "The design of Zhanshen is an orbital spacecraft, and we do not have anti-gravity devices."

When Musk mentioned the anti-gravity force field, everyone's expressions were ugly.

——After confirming that the Yaoyue took off using the anti-gravity force field, everyone believed that the space carrier plan on the opposite side was not a gimmick, but a real plan that could be realized.

But the anti-gravity field...

Let's put it this way, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid everyone would think it was absurd.

At this time, the owner of the white house looked at the head of the intelligence department: "Is there no news about our agents?"

"Sorry... there is no chance." The intelligence chief shook his head, his eyes a little frustrated: "Their Skynet is too strong to penetrate at all. And all the scientific researchers have also replaced their Ita system... It can be said , Whether online or offline, all communication will be noticed."

"...Damn it! Doesn't the scientific community have anything to do?"

The chief scientific advisor shook his head: "No technology and related theories have been revealed."

"...Damn it!" The master continued to look at Musk: "But your spaceship is currently the most capable, right?"

"yes."

"So, only your spacecraft can complete the task of building a helium-3 factory on the moon." The master clenched his fists: "This is a national task!"

Musk frowned and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"Then more powerful engines, we use to land on Mars!"

"No, we don't just use it to land on Mars, we also want to build space battleships! Space motherships! Star destroyers! We want our battleships to float in the entire universe!"

"That's it!"

The master took a deep breath and waved his fist: "We want to make this country great again!"
