The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 462

After Master Ouyang finished speaking, all the accompanying staff couldn't help smiling.

Most of them are members of the previous "Manned Moon Landing" project team of the Aerospace Corporation. Cooperation "Manned Moon Landing"!
Before they came, they recognized that the Phoenix Group's original "Manned Moon Landing" project team was capable, but they also wanted to prove that they were also the top team in the world!
But after getting in touch with it, I realized that the research and development team of Phoenix "Manned Moon Landing" is really not the slightest bit strong!

Not to mention the aviation talents in China, even many of the world's top aviation engineers who can be named have joined the Phoenix Group one after another!

In terms of hard power, it is no accident that such a team can fly around the moon so quickly!
What surprised everyone the most was the investment of the Phoenix Group.

Astronauts who are used to living a life of careful planning and budgeting have finally seen what it means to have sufficient funds!
You know, for aerospace, the budget determines what plan and technology will be used for this project!

If the project budget is very limited, then forget about the opportunity cost of trial and error, and everything must be designed around the safest and most mature solution.

In a sense, a mature solution means backwardness, which means that it is impossible to experiment with new technologies.

To use an inappropriate analogy, for example, in the automotive industry, maturity means that when a large number of models use 8AT or even 10AT, your gearbox is still a 4-speed CVT, which is called: mature.

The disadvantage is that the latest technology cannot be fully verified, and the technology will inevitably lag behind competitors in the long run.

The same is true in aerospace.

Because the project budget is limited, engineers can only choose mature solutions when designing solutions, and the verification cycle of new technologies will naturally be extended.

but……

In the Phoenix Group, there is no need to think about this issue at all!

Sufficient budget is enough to support the project team to make various project plans. As long as it is a reasonable and effective plan, I will lose if I frown!
In such a relaxed environment, the original "Manned Moon Landing" project team of the Aerospace Corporation completely let go of their hands and feet. They wanted to try various things before, but because of funding problems, the PASS plan was proposed again...

That's why the words that Chief Ouyang said when he entered the door just now: I have never fought such a surplus battle in my life, and only then did the "Manned Moon Landing" team merged in such a short period of time be able to carry out the next mission immediately. One stage work!
Speaking of this, I have to first introduce the "Manned Moon Landing" plan of Yanguo's official aerospace industry.

To put it simply, Yanguo's official "Manned Moon Landing" plan is divided into three steps-circle, fall, and return!

Orbiting, like the Phoenix Group not long ago, sent the "lunar orbiter" to the lunar orbit to realize the flight around the moon.

This step also corresponds to the missions of Yan Kingdom's official "Chang'e [-]" and "Chang'e [-]", and now the Phoenix Group has also completed the technical verification of this step.

Landing, as the name suggests, is the landing of the lunar rover on the moon.

Yan Kingdom's official spaceflight step has also been completed long ago.

The "Yutu Lunar Rover" carried by "Chang'e-[-]" landed on the moon, and "Chang'e-[-]" landed softly on the back of the moon a few years ago, which have proved that Yanguo Aerospace is capable of landing anywhere on the moon .

This step is also a step for the Phoenix Group to start technical verification, and it is also a step where most countries in the world are stuck.

For example, New Delhi and Neon Country are all stuck here. Last year, the third brother "Lunar 2 Lunar Rover" tried to make a soft landing on the moon, but the final result was that it fell heavily on the moon and completely lost the signal.

It has to be said that the Air Force's tradition of crashing planes has been transmitted to the aviation sector.

And the step of "return" refers to returning to the earth.

"Chang'e-1737" first achieved a soft landing on the moon, and then automatically collected [-] grams of lunar soil. After completing the mission, the ascender of "Chang'e-[-]" will start the second ignition from the moon.

After the ignition, the ascender will take "Chang'e-[-]" into the lunar orbit, and then successfully dock with the returner that stayed in the lunar orbit before.

After the successful docking, the ascender completed its mission and separated separately, and the remaining "Chang'e-[-] orbiter" and "returner" combined to return to Earth at the second speed in the universe!

It can be seen that the "Moon Landing Plan" formulated by Yanguo Aerospace is extremely scientific, and it is going step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Before the "manned moon landing" of the Phoenix Group was still at the stage of "circling", but now after merging the "manned moon landing" project team of the Aerospace Group, it has directly surpassed the technology of "circling, falling, and returning" Reserve, you can start the next step of the "manned moon landing" plan!

It is no exaggeration to say that the Phoenix Group has taken advantage of it!

Although Phoenix's original team is strong in scientific research, it is a newly formed team after all. The entire "moon landing plan" is still in the process of groping and verifying. It will take a certain amount of time to really realize the "manned moon landing"!

But now, after the aerospace group's "Manned Moon Landing" team has merged and joined, the Phoenix Group can directly follow the official plan of the Yan Kingdom!
And next, after completing these preliminary technical verifications, it will be the real "manned moon landing"!

but.

Because of the thrust problem of the rocket engine on the one hand, even the strongest "Long March [-] carrier rocket" of the Yanguo Aerospace Group cannot complete sending astronauts to the moon.

You know, if it's just an unmanned "lunar rover" landing on the moon, the payload that needs to be carried is not much!

The unmanned moon landing of the "lunar rover" does not need to consider space radiation, how many Gs the aircraft needs to be overloaded when it ascends, flies, and lands, and does not need to consider food and water sources during the flight for dozens of days.

but.

Once there are astronauts, the conditions become very harsh.

In order to protect the lives of astronauts, the lander cannot be as simple as a "lunar rover". It is necessary to use a "Shenzhou spacecraft" with a buffer function and radiation protection function or even a better lander.

In this way, the load of the rocket is greatly improved.

At the beginning, the "Apollo 11 spacecraft" in North America carried three astronauts, with a total weight of 45 tons. It used the first rocket in history, with a low-earth orbit carrying capacity of 119 tons and a lunar transfer orbit of 45 tons. "It's shipped up!
And our Long March 25 has a low-earth orbit capacity of only [-] tons. That is to say, the Long March [-] cannot yet send the spacecraft to low-earth orbit, let alone send it to the moon.

of course.

On the other hand, the situation is completely different now.

At the beginning, the "Apollo spacecraft" was able to forcefully land on the moon in spite of everything, it was to compete with the Soviet Union and to gain international prestige.

And now Yan Guo is in a hurry to send astronauts to the moon, which doesn't make much sense.

Astronauts go up to plant a flag, step on footprints, and take a few photos. Is it just to prove that I am 60 years behind you?
According to our consistent pragmatic and frugal tradition, we must reflect our latecomer advantages, such as seeing a lunar base on the moon and staying for a week, that is enough.

and so……

According to the original official plan of the Yan Kingdom, after the "circumnavigation, landing, and return" plans are all realized, the next step is to prepare for the launch of "Chang'e [-]" and "Chang'e [-]" for the next step of landing on the moon, rather than rushing to complete it. "Manned Moon Landing".

After the Phoenix Group's "Manned Moon Landing" project team merged with the Aerospace Corporation's official project team, the two teams also discussed this matter in depth. month" plan to continue.

And this time Hu Lai asked General Master Ouyang about the plans for the next "Chang'e [-]", "Chang'e [-]" and "Chang'e [-]".

only.

According to the previous plan, Chang'e-2025 is to be launched in 2026, Chang'e-2030 is to be launched in [-], and Chang'e-[-] is to be completed in [-].

In other words, Chang'e six, seven, and eight projects are expected to be completed within five years after 2025!
But now, Hu Lai didn't wait any longer, and directly prepared to use his ability to carry out three projects at the same time!
Yes, I don't pretend, I have a showdown.

joke.

The current Phoenix Group has merged with the Aerospace Group, and the project team has greatly increased its strength. If you need people, you need money, and you have money, you can do it!

Thinking of this, Master Ouyang at the side felt all kinds of feelings, and said:
"Mr. Hu, this time our 'Chang'e-[-]' project is the least difficult."

"The last time our 'Chang'e-1731' brought back [-] grams of lunar soil from the moon. After distributing some to other countries, we can only use it ourselves."

"So, this time, the mission of 'Chang'e-[-]' is going to the moon to collect lunar soil again, which will help us further understand the resources of the moon."

"It's just that this time we will use our Phoenix Group's 'Fufeng 2' to transport the 'Chang'e [-]' to the lunar orbit. As far as the carrying capacity of our 'Fufeng [-]' is concerned, it is more than enough to complete this task!"

Speaking of this, Master Ouyang wanted to speak subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he still held back.

In fact, the carrying capacity of the "Fufeng-[-]" rocket of the Phoenix Group has completely surpassed that of the "Long March [-]", and it is a bit wasteful to use it on the "Chang'e-[-]", which is just a simple mission to collect lunar soil.

but.

When he suggested that the improved version of "Fufeng No. [-]", which was smaller but relatively cheaper, could be used to carry out the mission, Hu Lai directly refused.

In Hu Lai's words, it's okay to waste a little performance, and it's okay to be expensive, they are all minor problems.

and so……

The "Chang'e-2000", which was originally expected to collect 20000 grams of lunar soil, changed to collect [-] grams of lunar soil because of the increase in the carrying capacity of "Fufeng-[-]".

Thinking of this, Master Ouyang couldn't help but smile.

It's nice to have money.

"Well, Chief Ouyang, if you have any problems with the rocket, you can communicate with the rocket department, and they will fully cooperate."

After saying this, Hu Lai continued:
"Then how is the progress of 'Chang'e-[-]'?"

"Mr. Hu, our 'Chang'e-[-]' is preparing to land on the south pole of the moon. The main task is to launch a leapfrog exploration and try to find liquid water on the south pole of the moon!"

"If we can find water, it will be much easier for us to build a 'space base' on the moon!"

As he spoke, Ouyang was afraid that Hu Lai might not understand, so he hurriedly explained:

"The moon is different from our earth. Almost every place on our earth can be irradiated by sunlight, but on the moon, the south pole of the moon is not exposed to the sun all year round, and the temperature has always remained at minus 200 degrees Celsius."

"So we think it is very likely that there is water here, in the form of ice!"

"However, the environment at the south pole of the moon is extremely harsh, and there are almost huge craters on the surface. It is definitely difficult for our ordinary 'moon rover' to adapt to such a terrain. Our plan is to use the leaper plus our Phoenix Group's 'Bionic Exploratory Robot' to explore together..."

Bionic explorer robot?

Hu Lai suddenly became interested.

"What? Can you still use the 'bionic robot'?"

"Well, we have already made a request to the robotics department, hoping to create a bionic robot with strong movement ability and obstacle-surmounting ability in a vacuum state."

"Cooperating with the Leaper is also double insurance!"

Hu Lai nodded.

"'Chang'e-[-]' can be launched next week, so can 'Chang'e-[-]' also be launched next week?"

Master Ouyang hummed and said:

"no problem!"

"We originally envisioned that two projects would be put into orbit with one rocket, but..."

"Now that we have decided to use two rockets for 'Chang'e-[-]' and 'Chang'e-[-]', all the calculations and orbit design will be simplified...the time window is no longer in a hurry."

"So, you can launch back and forth at almost the same time."

Hu Lai smiled and said:

"Compared to 'Chang'e-[-]', I am more concerned about whether 'Chang'e-[-]' can find solid water..."

"Okay, Chief Ouyang, what about our 'Chang'e-[-]'? Can we also launch it together?"

Hearing this, Master Ouyang couldn't help but a black line appeared on his forehead.

"Mr. Hu, the mission of 'Chang'e-[-]' is to build a small 'scientific research station' on the lunar surface, which can be regarded as a 'simple version of the space base'. The scientific research station will have a lunar orbiter, a lander, a lunar rover, and a instrument and a number of scientific detection instruments."

"At present, it is possible to force it to start, but... with our current technical reserves, we may not be able to guarantee that the 'Scientific Research Station' will be 100% in normal operation, and it may even become unusable in a month or two. "

Hu Lai waved his hand.

"It's okay, scientific research is burning money. We have to accept failure and face failure calmly."

"Don't think about saving money, let's start with it and learn from experience, it's okay to spend some money!"

Hu Lai's words completely reassured everyone, and the accompanying staff nodded in agreement.

joke.

With such a tolerant and generous boss, let alone the Chang'e [-], everyone dares to try "manned to the moon" immediately!
……

Early the next morning, the Phoenix Group announced the news on its official Twitter.

The three projects of "Chang'e-[-]", "Chang'e-[-]" and "Chang'e-[-]" led by Phoenix Group are scheduled to start experiments in half a month.
