Chapter 471 Lunar mobile charging vehicle and small power station
Master Ouyang sat up straight.

"In fact, since 2004, North America has started the drawing of lunar geological maps, but the progress has been very slow."

"Including we also started this work after 2012. After the exploration and research of 'Chang'e-2' and 'Chang'e-1', we finally made a breakthrough on the geological map of the moon. Until last year, we successfully drew A 250:[-] million scale 'Moon Geological Map' has reached the international leading level."

Hu Lai and Director Zhang nodded slightly.

"but……"

"The focus of the 'Lunar Geological Map' is to map out the geological conditions, time of appearance, and causes of formation of various places on the moon. It is a professional map for geological research, not a map in our traditional sense."

"And what I proposed this time is to draw a 'moon topographic map', an electronic coordinate map!"

After a simple explanation, Hu Lai became more interested.

Phoenix Group does have a dedicated map navigation department.

He still remembers that when Phoenix Group entered the map navigation business, Google and Hongguo jointly shut down the "map service" on the mobile phone because the first-generation "Super" mobile phone entered the overseas market.

In the end, the Phoenix Group had to make its own electronic map. For this reason, it also set up a special satellite department and launched more than a dozen remote sensing optical satellites specially used for map drawing and shooting-"Observation No. [-]".

In the subsequent development, the map department of Phoenix Group has gone one step further.

In order to achieve "lane-level" precise positioning on the car, and to enable unmanned public transportation and unmanned automatic driving to improve better safe driving, the map department has updated the ultra-high-definition navigation map!

just now.

Hu Lai couldn't help thinking, Chief Master Ouyang suddenly mentioned that he wanted to draw an accurate electronic coordinate map on the moon, is it also for the application on the unmanned exploration vehicle?
He didn't speak, waiting for Master Ouyang to continue.

but.

Master Ouyang didn't directly explain the reason, but instead changed the subject, looked to the side of Factory Manager Zhang and said:
"General manager Zhang should know that the design speed of our 'Chang'e-15' probe on the moon is [-]KM/H."

"But in fact, when the mission is actually carried out, the speed of our detector can only reach 5KM/H or even lower."

Director Zhang nodded in agreement.

"On the one hand, the moon is not like the earth; the environment on the moon is harsh, and the road conditions are complicated. If you are not careful, your car may get stuck or even overturned."

"Once the probe rolls over or gets stuck on the moon, we will not be able to help the probe get out of trouble like we did on the earth, which basically means that the probe will be completely reimbursed, and all subsequent detection missions will also be terminated."

"So, in order to ensure the normal completion of scientific research tasks, we have to slow down the speed and try our best to ensure the safety of the detector."

"On the other hand."

"It's also because we don't fully understand the environment, road conditions, geology, obstacles, etc. on the moon. Like we can use a lot of pictures and road conditions on the earth to let the 'AI chip' learn how to deal with various road conditions, but for the moon , we don’t have much learning data, and the effect of ‘AI intelligent identification and obstacle avoidance’ is not very good.”

"So when the probe is performing its mission, the project team corresponding to our probe monitors the road conditions of the probe throughout the entire process and is operated remotely by the ground command center on the earth."

"It can be said that it is these multiple reasons that lead to the very low efficiency of detectors in various countries, and the speed that can be maintained at 5KM/H is already very fast!"

Hu Lai was a little surprised. He always thought that the lunar probe should have some rudimentary artificial intelligence. For example, after setting a certain path of several hundred meters, the lunar probe would independently detect and collect data.

Today, I have learned a lot. All the lunar unmanned vehicles in the world are actually remote-controlled vehicles, and they are all operated by remote control from the earth 38 kilometers away.

Seeing Hu Lai was a little surprised. Director Zhang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, took a sip of tea and said:
"Boss, the situation is indeed as Ouyang said."

"This time we were able to discover 'solid water' at the south pole of the moon so quickly. Not to mention the 'manned moon landing' project team thought it was incredible, even every staff member in the entire aerospace department felt that we were so lucky, almost straight We found the location of 'solid water'!"

Hu Lai was silent.

indeed.

According to what Ouyang said, a probe with a speed of only 5KM/H found "solid water" on the endless moon in just two months, which can only be described as good luck.

And next, the Phoenix Group wants to find more "solid water", obviously it is impossible to rely on luck every time.

but.

The current speed of the detector is 5KM/H, and the project team needs to keep an eye on the remote control operation at all times. Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive operation, the efficiency is extremely low!

With this efficiency, do you want to detect "solid water" on a large scale?Hu Lai felt unacceptable.

He frowned, and carefully connected the words of Master Ouyang before and after in his mind.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand the significance of Master Ouyang's proposal to draw an electronic map of the moon.

Immediately Hu Lai raised his head and asked:

"Master Ouyang, can I understand this way? Your proposal to draw an electronic map of the moon is actually preparing for the next large-scale detection of 'solid water'."

"Because once we really detect "solid water" on a large scale, it will not be one or two detectors involved in the detection, but a dozen or even dozens of detectors, and these detectors Not only can it detect 'solid water', but it can also serve as a map collector to provide us with a large amount of Antarctic topographic data."

"Perhaps at the beginning, the speed of the detectors was still very slow, but once the route traveled by one detector was recorded by us and confirmed that there was no problem, then other detectors could follow this route and travel at a faster speed. will be greatly improved.”

"As more and more safety routes are recorded on the map, although the moon is not a paved road like the earth, after connecting each coordinate point, it is also a road that belongs to the probe."

"In other words, as long as the moon does not undergo major environmental changes, these routes are safe routes!"

As soon as the words fell, Master Ouyang immediately nodded again and again. What Hu Lai said was indeed his consideration.

"Boss Hu, you are right."

"With the precise positioning capability of our current Beidou positioning system, once we have an electronic map of the moon, it is like having a detailed sea chart in the age of great navigation. It is good for us to use detectors to detect 'solid water' in the future, or to develop Whether it is the moon or not, there are great benefits!"

This time, Master Ouyang didn't rush to answer after talking nonsense.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his mind running fast.

The "electronic map of the moon" mentioned by Chief Ouyang is indeed a very important first-line data content for the future "development of the moon". In the future, any country or organization that wants to develop on the moon will inevitably need an electronic map.

In the big picture, this investment can do it.

Thinking again and again, Hu Lai already had a general idea in his heart.

However, just when he was about to agree to this proposal, the matter of "exploring bionic robots" mentioned by the chief engineer Ouyang suddenly popped up in his mind when he visited the "Chang'e [-]" project team a few days ago.

The "detection-type bionic robot" is fundamentally different from the traditional detector. The traditional detector is essentially a motor-driven "new energy vehicle" that travels on tracks or wheels.

Although the bionic robot is also powered by a small motor, but because it imitates the structure of a human being, it is completely driven by two legs. In theory, there is no such thing as a car overturning or getting stuck and completely losing control.

Coupled with the latest "AI chip" provided by the Phoenix Group's chip department, even if the "AI chip" does not have enough moon data, it can also detour when encountering unrecognizable road conditions, which is very flexible.

The "detection-type bionic robot" designed in this way should be more efficient than the "detector" in the face of unpaved roads!
how?I feel that the bionic robot did not play any role in "Chang'e [-]" this time.

correct.

Hu Lai suddenly remembered, at that time, the chief teacher Ouyang was talking about the "bionic robot" lying down? !
"Master Ouyang... By the way, I remember one thing."

"I remember that we carried a 'detection-type bionic robot' on the 'Chang'e [-]'. Last time you said that you were lying down, what is the specific situation?"

Speaking of this, Master Ouyang rarely showed a wry smile on his face.

"Mr. Hu, this is actually the second thing I want to tell you next."

"Actually, from the very beginning, we had relatively high expectations for the 'detection-type bionic robot'. After all, its movement ability is very strong, and it has a natural flexibility advantage compared with ordinary detectors, but..."

"After we let the 'bionic robot' perform three tasks, the bionic robot completely fell to the ground."

"To be precise, it's out of power."

"out of battery?!"

Hu Lai was so surprised that he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Logically speaking, the design of these projects in aerospace, power, that is, the problem of electric energy is a routine problem, and generally a mature team will not have such a big flaw in the design.

"Yes, the battery is out."

Master Ouyang sighed with a wry smile, and explained:
"On the moon, our main energy source is solar energy; probes like the 'Chang'e series' and the 'Moon Rabbit Lunar Rover' are powered by solar panels to charge batteries."

"The robotics department also designed solar panels when designing the 'bionic robot', but...maybe it was the first time to design solar panels, and the actual effect was not good...after three uses, the solar panels could no longer be charged."

"Oh."

Hu Lai let out a soft oh, but he didn't mean to blame him.

In the field of aerospace, it is too common to fail to open the solar panels for charging. Mechanical reasons, vibration during transportation, and even air pressure may cause the failure to open normally.

but.

Just when he thought it was an accident, Master Ouyang went on to say:

"Things are not as simple as we thought."

"Actually, we found in practical applications that because of the special human body structure of the 'bionic robot', the solar panels are doomed to have a small expansion area, and they cannot charge enough power for work if they encounter insufficient sunlight!"

"In addition, because the 'bionic robot' has its solar panels hidden in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity, it will only unfold automatically when it is charged. However, it will be deployed repeatedly every time it is charged, and the probability of mechanical failure will also increase significantly."

"These are just the problems we've discovered so far, but even so, these two points are fatal shortcomings for 'bionic robots'."

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be like this.

He knows the situation of traditional detectors. Generally speaking, whether it is a satellite or a detector, the first thing to do after arriving at the predetermined position is to deploy the solar panels and start to get solar energy to charge the battery.

Devices such as satellites and detectors will not fold back after opening the solar panels, which means that as long as they are successfully deployed for the first time, there will be no major problems in subsequent solar energy acquisition.

A special human body structure like a "bionic robot" is born without a position for solar panels, and can only stop and unfold the solar charging panels when charging is needed.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai frowned.

Compared with traditional detectors, "bionic robots" have many advantages such as flexibility and strong functionality, but their shortcomings are also obvious.

At this moment, Director Zhang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said:
"Since Mr. Ouyang said that this is the second thing you want to talk about today, I think you should have a solution?"

Hu Lai also raised his head to look at Master Ouyang when he heard the words.

"Ah."

"Although the 'bionic robot' has only performed three missions, the actual effect is really good, and it works very well with traditional detectors!"

"As for the issue of solar panels, my idea is that we simply abandon the installation of solar panels on the 'bionic robot' and completely simplify the structure."

Giving up on installing solar panels? !

How to solve the energy problem? !
When both Hu Lai and Director Zhang were surprised, Master Ouyang went on to say:

"And our solution is to install a 'mobile power vehicle' in the south pole of the moon, where the 'bionic robot' is active, to provide power for the 'bionic robot' and even the probe!"

Mobile power car? !

Good guy.

Hu Lai was stunned. Master Ouyang came today to provide him with a complete set of plans for the follow-up development of the moon!
He glanced at Chief Ouyang.

You know, Chief Ouyang was the chief designer of the "Manned Moon Landing" project of the Aerospace Corporation before, so it's hard to say whether this plan is the original internal plan of the Aerospace Corporation...

However, Hu Lai's inner activities did not affect Master Ouyang at all.

He continued:
"President Hu, Manager Zhang, it's actually relatively simple to realize this function."

"The terrain at the south pole of the moon is relatively high, and the sunlight energy obtained by the edge of the crater is also very sufficient. We only need to unfold the solar panels of the mobile power vehicles to align with the sun, and then the solar energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in the power vehicles. At that time, the 'bionic robots' and 'detectors' that perform tasks can be wirelessly charged there."

"We can even place a larger 'charging cube' at a suitable location to store excess power. In this way, a small storage power station will be formed."

"Small storage power station..."

Hu Lai and Director Zhang looked at each other, how the stall got bigger and bigger.
