From black technology to super engineering

meeting room.

"If Lao Mei knows that our three ships are launching together this time... Do you think they will vomit blood?"

After Ye Ming took his seat, he joked directly.

Everyone laughed.

That's just inevitable, right?

In order to grab the resources of the moon, Lao Mei even did not hesitate to change the Ares, which was originally used to fly to Mars, to fly to the moon. In order to be safe, she did not hesitate to cooperate with Aita...

But domestically, this time they flew three ships at a time.

Two manned spacecraft and one unmanned transport ship.

And the functions of these three ships are not the same.

Among them, Wenyue and Xuntian will carry out the mission of landing on the moon, and continue to carry out the construction of the industrial base and the construction of the most important helium-3 commercial fusion reactor on the moon.

Only when the helium-3 fusion reactor is put into operation can a permanent scientific research, production and living base be built on the moon.

The Yaoyue will stay at the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrangian point to build the prototype of the space city.

After all, Space City is an international cooperation project, and when it comes to this kind of project, it is inevitable to pay for it - but the country may not have so much time to ink, first use the space capsule to create a prototype, and then ask you if you still want to talk about it. pull.

Taking a step back, even if you want to sell off-plan housing, you have to make a model first, and then set up the construction site first! You can’t just point to a barren area and say, we’re going to build a skyscraper here in the future, so hurry up and pay for it.

And half a year later, Xuntian 2, which is under construction in Jiuquan, will also take off with supplies to further improve the lunar base.

And that's not all.

Everyone knows that once a large industrial country starts the dumpling mode, the world will be shocked.

...

"A small thousand-ton lunar and orbital commuter ship is definitely needed. After all, the lunar and L2 orbital designs are large residential areas that can accommodate tens of thousands of people." Ye Ming looked at the meeting minutes and nodded: "Engine Just met the minimum requirements."

"But the 10,000-ton civilian ship...is it a little exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration, it's mainly because of space travel." Director Zhang smiled and said, "Do you know what is the most popular voice among the people?"

"What is it?"

"Xiaohui is not everywhere, and the people are not obedient..."

Ye Ming was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Cao GUI's words of debate can be used by ordinary people like this...

Well, but in a sense, this sentence is also true.

It is the most expensive thing for human beings to step out of the earth and go into space, but it is also...the least directly related to the lives of ordinary people.

In the past, it could only be "extremely symbolic".

Otherwise, why hasn't there been any movement for decades after Laomei landed on the moon?

In essence, spending so much money at the beginning, except for earning face, has no real change in the lives of ordinary people.

Of course, not now, after all, helium 3 can now be collected to solve human energy problems.

But it's a long, not-so-intuitive process...

What is the intuitive experience that ordinary people want? It was today that I bought a ticket on a whim to travel to the moon.

"Well, if this is the case, then we have to refer to the design of the cruise ship."

"Yes, besides, the aerospace industry is a job that costs a lot of money, and it is also the direction of the future to benefit all mankind and go to space, so we have to do it sooner or later. It's better to make a plan early."

"That's fine." Ye Ming nodded again: "But the current main focus is still on small-tonnage commuter scientific research ships."

Everyone looked at Ye Ming with a smile.

Especially Director Zhang, who was sitting next to him, even winked at him: "Then this first boat, is it going to go far away?"

Ye Ming coughed.

Everyone is happy together.

The space membrane model announced by Ye Ming two months ago has already spread throughout the academic community, and according to Ye Ming, this discovery was originally designed by him to fight against dense gravity.

So... what is compact gravity?

In other words, what kind of dense gravity requires Ye Ming to use his brain to overcome it with the power of dimensions?

Of course it's a black hole.

That "unknown object" is currently not far from the position of the earth, which is also the position of Neptune, but because of its extremely slow speed, it will take about fifty years to reach the predicted orbit close to the asteroid belt.

Obviously, not to mention Ye Ming, even these people here don’t want to wait until 50 years to detect it. At present, the government has begun to guide public opinion, believing that black holes will affect Mars, and it is even very likely to affect Mars. Earth, causing uncontrollable disasters.

This kind of statement is naturally to improve space cohesion and leadership.

Therefore, whether it is in China or in the United States, they are actively preparing to detect that wandering black hole.

And to detect black holes, it is obvious that conventional rockets are the most cost-effective...but it will take decades to fly, which does not conform to the domestic style.

And if you use the Yaoyue account... not to mention it is too risky, it will take a few years to go back and forth.

Therefore, the best choice is a small Helium 3 engine spacecraft.

Seeing everyone's tacit understanding, Ye Ming got up as a bachelor, and said with a smile: "There are indeed considerations in this regard, although many models now believe that the celestial body has little impact on the earth as a whole, but what if... right. "

"In case, it's probably Jupiter who made the move—speaking of Jupiter who made the move..."

"Simulate the merger of Jupiter with a black hole three times the mass of the earth. Basically, a new black hole with the mass of Jupiter will be formed. On the cosmic scale, it will not cause any waves, but what will happen during the merger... No one can guarantee that."

"So, it's best to take a look first if you have the conditions."

Everyone naturally nodded in unison.

Being able to detect black holes at close range is much more exciting than going to the moon and fire.

And now there is also long-distance communication-if there is a wormhole through the singularity of the black hole, and it is really possible to reach a new star field, then...

Just thinking about it makes your blood boil.

So then everyone began to focus on the design of small commuter spacecraft.

...

At the end of the meeting, Ye Ming found Mogu who had already settled down, went to the construction workshop together, and saw Wenyue who was doing the final test work.

In terms of appearance, as sister ships, Wenyue and Yaoyue cannot be said to be exactly the same, but there is no difference.

But in terms of internal structure, Wenyue canceled the weapon compartment and reduced the cargo compartment. At the same time, the area of ​​the crew compartment has been increased, and the number of crew members has been increased—the rated crew of the Yaoyue is 80 people, and the rated crew of the Wenyue has almost doubled to 150 people.

In terms of function, it actually tends to be a pure scientific research ship.

The reason for this design is entirely because in the early stage of the construction of the moon, all spacecraft must bear the responsibility of manning and transporting materials, so it was a last resort.

"You really want to go up?"

Seeing the longing in Ye Ming's eyes, Mo Gu pursed his lips and smiled, picking which pot he didn't open.

"nonsense."

"It's a pity, your goal is too big, otherwise I will smuggle you up."

Ye Ming stared at her: "The soil in front of the door is exhausted, and there are no tiles on the house... Those who are covered in silk are not silkworm farmers..."

"It was written for me!"

Mo Gu covered his mouth, smiling prettily.

(It's over, the next chapter will have to wait for an hour...)
