Super technology leader

Tang Chao went into seclusion after only doing one day of live broadcasting on the moon, which naturally dissatisfied the netizens on Earth who were waiting for the latest news.

Although Pathfinder Aerospace is engaged in aerospace and doesn't need to pay too much attention to the opinions of ordinary people, as ordinary people are unlikely to become consumers of aerospace products, the entire Pathfinder Group is not solely engaged in aerospace.

Its products and services are diverse, and it needs to cultivate and take care of its consumer base.

Therefore, with the BOSS not showing his face, other things had to be done.

If it were another company, they would probably just release some pictures, some viewing videos, and some promotional videos, but is Pathfinder another company?

Obviously not.

So, what happened was that the BOSS did a live broadcast on the first day, went into seclusion on the second day, and on the third day, Pathfinder launched a standard lunar ice refining device.

Its size is similar to Lunar Palace II, but because it is used to process ice, it has many empty tanks, so it is not very heavy and is within the 45-ton lunar payload range of the Far Voyager rocket.

It can relatively quickly convert the ice mined by astronauts into liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and it can also obtain clean water for astronauts to use or for vegetation irrigation.

If they have it, and the water ice supply is sufficient, the fuel tanks of the Benyue could be filled in half a day, so the limitation on the speed of fuel production is no longer the equipment, but the size of the transport vehicle.

In fact, it does not have a large demand for large ice transport vehicles, because it has its own wheels.

Although it can't run fast, and can't speed up to 30 kilometers per hour like a modified lunar rover, it can at least move.

As long as the road is not too rugged, it can drive directly to the ice mine.

However, a new problem arises when driving to the ice mine: although the mirror refraction principle can solve the energy problem, there are still problems with the transport vehicle.

Their current small vehicles can transport some dirty ice, and it doesn't matter if it turns into muddy water halfway, but they are not qualified to transport liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and still need professional transportation equipment.

Therefore, the water resource refining equipment is temporarily parked in the base after landing.

When it needs to be used, it is first moved to the side of the spacecraft, then the fuel port is connected to the spacecraft, and then the small car can transport the ice or dirty water over.

After finishing this, Pathfinder released promotional videos, and not pure CG promotional videos, but with real objects, but these real objects have not been completely manufactured yet.

Inside, there are pressurized lunar rovers that will be sent to the lunar base, as well as more sophisticated laboratories, mineral refining equipment, mechanical repair shops, and small equipment manufacturing centers, etc.

Of course, there are also vegetable greenhouses, or plant and animal cultivation laboratories.

Finally, there are the indispensable leisure cabins, which are used to develop lunar tourism.

Cities on Earth want to develop tourism, and cities on the moon certainly want to develop tourism as well.

Tourism to increase income is an important part of the early self-circulation of the lunar base.

With these things equipped, the initial lunar base is almost completed.

This stage of the lunar base still has a "temporary" nature, and will be abandoned after a few years or a dozen years at most.

After using it to explore a complete human survival model on the moon, humans will establish a permanent survival base at a suitable location on the moon.

By the way, Pathfinder will also launch a large mobile gantry crane to the base during this period.

After all, no matter how accurately those devices land, they must be kept a little further away, in case an accident occurs and other devices are hit.

If the equipment is so far apart, it would be too troublesome for astronauts to put on their extravehicular suits and go back and forth several times to change locations, and multiple donning and doffing of spacesuits and entering and exiting the base will invisibly increase the possibility of danger.

Therefore, they need a mobile gantry crane to gather them together, and then use folding passages to connect all the cabins.

Then, changing scenes directly through the passages will be possible.

This kind of interconnected mode can be called a base, if they don't communicate with each other, it can only be called a "tent camp".

The promotional video first shows the final completed base style, and then begins to analyze it module by module, basically introducing one module a day.

The introductions of each module are very detailed.

After watching the simulation diagram, a lens is inserted to show the manufacturing progress of each module.

Good heavens, people are shocked, Pathfinder's tricks are indeed unusual, and Tang Chao's tricks are even more unusual.

Last time Tang Chao entered space, Pathfinder launched formal commercial space tourism.

This time Tang Chao landed on the moon, and the lunar base modules on Pathfinder's side are almost completed.

Next time, will Tang Chao go directly to Mars to catch those aliens?

"Did I travel to the future? Is the manufacturing of aerospace equipment so easy and fast now? Is this still the slow-developing aerospace industry?"

"Yes, I thought the aerospace industry has been regressing.

Looking at the results alone, decades ago, the Americans landed on the moon easily, but now the Americans landing on the moon has failed, and the regression is too obvious, but now Pathfinder's situation has subverted my cognition, awesome!"

The latest novels are first published on 69shu!

"I have no doubt that Pathfinder will build the first manned spacecraft to Mars.

I just want to know if Tang Chao will be on it and continue to get various first titles.

If it is Mars, then the first titles he gets will definitely be more."

"Then, wouldn't you have to add a bunch of prefixes when introducing it in the future? You would be embarrassed to add titles that aren't first."

"Actually, humans can fly to Mars now, right?

Isn't Elon Musk's Starship rocket made for going to Mars?

And this time Pathfinder also demonstrated Earth orbit refueling technology.

If they cooperate, can they go to Mars?"

"That won't work, don't think of going to Mars as too simple.

Going to the moon is so difficult, and the difficulty of going to Mars will increase by several orders of magnitude.

If you are not careful, astronauts may die on the way to Mars."

"Yes, the three words 'go to Mars' are simple to say, but the journey time alone takes several months.

Staying in a small space for several months puts too much psychological pressure on people, and at least the moon is next to the Earth, and the Earth's extended magnetic field can block some cosmic radiation from the moon.

Once out of the Earth-Moon system, it will be truly exposed to the sun and cosmic radiation."

"Indeed, cosmic radiation is too strong, and several months of weightlessness is also very harmful to the astronaut's body.

It is estimated that the first landing on Mars will not last very long, and they will have to rush back during the window in a few days.

Therefore, astronauts must start working immediately after arriving, which may cause secondary damage to the body.

It will take several months to come back, and they may have to float in space for a year before and after."

"Damn, a year, working in a space station in Earth orbit for a year is quite amazing.

Staying in the universe far from the protection of the Earth's magnetic field for a year, what will happen to the astronaut's body from cosmic radiation and weightlessness?"

"So, going to Mars is not that simple.

If you go without preparation, you can only be as hasty as humans first landing on the moon, planting a flag.

In fact, you should learn from Pathfinder, send the base over first, so that astronauts can live in it with peace of mind, otherwise it will be too urgent."

"Let's see what Pathfinder does.

I believe it will definitely give us a lot of surprises, it's just the beginning now."
