a few days later.

As the oolong incident of "alien creatures" was thoroughly fermented, the reputation of the Phoenix Group reached its peak again.

Everyone was surprised not only that even NASA began to learn from Phoenix Group's "lunar exploration plan" and "lunar exploration equipment", but what shocked everyone even more was that Phoenix Group quietly started a "large-scale lunar exploration plan".

Among the heated discussions around the world, the "Donghai Dragon King", which was specially designed to collect "lunar solid water", also successfully returned to Earth.

At this moment, even the western media, which is full of arrogance and prejudice, can't pretend to be ignorant. The major media have reported this important news one after another, and everyone has personally felt the changes that the Phoenix Group has made to the world.

The feelings of the space agencies of various countries are far deeper than that of ordinary people. Before that, even the Phoenix Group's "Chang'e Series" has achieved extraordinary results, realized the exploration of the back of the moon and even discovered "lunar solid water".

But in everyone's mind, after all, NASA is the only country in the world that landed on the moon 50 years ago, and it is definitely ahead of other countries in the world technically.

But at this time, the Phoenix Group is launching a new large-scale exploration of the moon in an unprecedented way of lunar exploration, a way that even NASA is imitating!
All scientific research scholars are aware of a problem - a new era of spaceflight may really be coming!

……

the other side.

"Now we have eight 'looking up at the lunar rovers' at the south pole of the moon, and they are all fast and very flexible lunar rovers. If we suddenly lose control and crash into their 'Viper probe'..."

Of course Hu Lai knew why they chose this area.

"When they dealt with us, they were cruel and ruthless. They used all means for us, spreading rumors, smearing, threatening, suppressing, blocking..."

After personally notifying Factory Manager Zhang, Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, and then called Professor Wu to ask him to come with him.

Hearing this, the factory manager Zhang beside him couldn't help but cursed.

"I don't know if you still remember, two years ago, our Yan Kingdom's official 'Tiangong Space Station' suddenly encountered a very dangerous space accident!"

Coincidentally, the star chain at an altitude of 550 kilometers suddenly lost control, and it happened to be out of control at 382 kilometers, and it stopped only 8 kilometers away from the "Tiangong Space Station".

While the whole world was amazed by the Phoenix Group, Hu Lai was thinking about other things at this time.

Hu Lai sighed softly, the cost of exploring the moon is really high.

With such an amount, there is no choice but to worry a lot.

"Yes, we actively restrict NASA."

Hu Lai's expression turned serious and he didn't speak.

You know, the largest crater on the moon can reach 8.05 kilometers. This is the depth, not the width!
It is also normal for ordinary craters to reach a depth of 2 or 3 kilometers.

After all, the "Magpie Bridge Relay Satellite" was only used to provide communication transmission for "Chang'e-[-]" to carry out activities on the moon and the surface of the moon. Now that the Phoenix Group's "large-scale exploration activities" have begun, a large number of pictures have been collected , and even the image data needs to be sent back to the earth, the data transmission volume is more than ten times more than the original design!

Factory Manager Zhang is busy selling the "solid water" brought back from the moon these days, and Professor Wu happened to help Factory Manager Zhang, using the "lunar solid water" as a bargaining chip to bring the Phoenix Group from other space agencies. Come more benefits.

After thinking for a while, he slowly sorted out his thoughts:

but……

On the contrary, Professor Wu on the side suddenly became extremely excited. Seeing this, he laughed and said:

"Don't they like the rhetoric of being out of control? We can too!"

However, he came back to his senses after a while, and under the limitations at this time, he could completely understand Hu Lai's concerns.

"Boss, you have finally figured it out. There is nothing 'gentle, courteous, courteous and frugal!'"

The "ultra-high-power satellite" matter can only be regarded as a problem of capital investment, but another problem makes Hu Lai even more difficult.

It is reasonable to say that the difference between the two is close to 200 kilometers, and it is impossible to collide.

This has also led to the fact that if it is on the "lunar surface", whether it is a "lunar rover" or other communication equipment, it can directly transmit communication signals to the earth.

As we all know, because the moon is "tide-locked" by the earth, the moon always has a fixed side, that is, the "moon side" facing the earth, while the other side, the "moon back", always faces away from the earth.

"And they only have one 'Viper probe' performing missions at the south pole of the moon, which means that as long as the 'Viper probe' is restricted, they can actually limit their current 'solid water detection' activities at the south pole of the moon... ..."

Now that this matter was mentioned, Hu Lai nodded affirmatively without hiding anything.

After a while, he looked at Professor Wu and asked expectantly:

Hu Lai frowned, and in the next second, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had guessed what Professor Wu wanted to say.

After finishing this sentence excitedly, Professor Wu paused, and then said to Director Zhang:
"Old Zhang, tell me if I'm right."

After the two of them sat down on the sofa, they got straight to the point.

The reason is that if you want to land on the "moon's back", you must first solve the communication problem between the "moon's back" and the earth.

The solution adopted by the Aerospace Group is to launch the "Queqiao Relay Satellite" to the "Earth-Moon Lagrangian L2 point orbit", and then use it as a data transfer station for Earth-Moon communication to realize real-time data transmission.

Hu Lai is already considering whether to invest a lot of money to start the production of "ultra-high-power giant phased array antenna communication satellites".

"And what is the attitude of SpeacX and North American officials in the end?"

As a result, the communication bandwidth of the "Magpie Bridge" is obviously not enough, and the efficiency is very low.

This time, after the "Fufeng-[-]" carrier rocket sent the first batch of "mobile power vehicles" and "looking up to the moon rover" to the moon, it did greatly speed up the progress of exploring the moon, but it also discovered many question.

After several days of adjustments, the Viper probe started its "solid water" detection mission yesterday.

After a long time, Hu Lai felt a little irritable, and still didn't have a good solution.

Hu Lai's personality is quite upright, and he is not the kind of person who makes publicity and takes the initiative to cause trouble. If this matter did not touch the core interests of the Phoenix Group and the future competition for the moon, Hu Lai would not take the initiative to restrict NASA.

"If our space station hadn't discovered it in advance, and even if we made two emergency evasions, we would have suffered heavy losses!"

on the other hand.

"Boss, we took the initiative to find a way to limit NASA's 'solid water detection' activities on the moon?!"

Director Zhang took a slight breath, and his surprise became more intense.

In such a deep crater, if you want to keep the communication signal stable, the current power of "Magpie Bridge" is more than enough.

The most infuriating thing is that we have nothing to do with them!

Hearing Hu Lai's name-calling, the smile on Professor Wu's face also subsided, and his frowning expression suddenly became serious.

"God damn 'satellite out of control'!"

"Okay, Professor Wu, do you have any good ideas?"

When a cigarette was burned out, Professor Wu suddenly looked startled, and his expression suddenly brightened.

This time the Phoenix Group is conducting "large-scale detection of solid water", and the "probe vehicle" will inevitably need to reach some very deep and harsh craters for exploration.

When the Phoenix Group established the satellite department, he knew about it on purpose, so he knew it very well.

"They didn't apologize or explain. In the end, under the tremendous pressure, they just said lightly, 'satellite out of control' and got away with it."

Professor Wu's tone also dropped.

What the hell is rubbing everyone's IQ on the ground.

He lit a cigarette again, and then continued with some excitement:

There is no need to elaborate on the importance of solar panels for spacecraft.

Tiangong space station?

Not long ago, NASA's SLS rocket was successfully launched, not only the problem of the launch vehicle was solved, but also NASA's "Viper Lunar Exploration Rover" successfully landed on the south pole of the moon.

To be honest, this was also the first time that Hu Lai proposed to restrict NASA, so Director Zhang was a little surprised when he finished speaking.

The "Tiangong Space Station" has been operating stably at an altitude of 390 kilometers, while SpeacX's Starlink satellites were operating at an altitude of 550 kilometers at that time.

"Be it selfish or for other reasons, can we think of a way to limit NASA's activities on the moon?!"

Because the back is facing the earth, it is impossible for the signal sent on the "moon's back" to be transmitted back to the earth, and it can only get farther and farther away from the opposite direction.

You should know that because the "ultra-high-power giant phased array antenna communication satellite" uses a folded rectangular phased array antenna, the maximum area of ​​the rectangular antenna can reach [-] square meters after unfolding. Such a giant antenna and its ultra-high power itself It is designed for planet-to-planet communication.

Hu Lai nodded slightly.

"That time, SpeacX's 'Starlink Satellite' changed its orbit rapidly and continuously at an altitude of 550 kilometers without warning, and then crashed into our 'Tiangong Space Station'."

at last.

And "Moon Back" will not work.

And the most coincidental thing is that this happened twice, both times were continuous orbital maneuvers from an altitude of 550 kilometers, and finally stopped at an altitude of 390 kilometers.

"We can't be kind to them, so we should use black hands and try our best to kill them!"

More than half an hour later, Director Zhang and Professor Wu successively came to Hu Lai's office.

At this moment, Hu Lai chuckled twice and interrupted the conversation between the two.

but.

NASA's "Viper rover" landed just within the area that the Phoenix Group is currently exploring, and it is also near the site where the Phoenix Group first discovered "lunar solid water."

Thinking of this, Hu Lai frowned. Deep down in his heart, he definitely didn't want NASA to discover "lunar solid water". He even said that he didn't even want NASA to carry out "lunar solid water" detection!
Although the south pole of the moon is very wide, it is not easy to find "solid water" in a short while, but...

According to Professor Wu's method, if the goal is to hit the "solar panel", it is indeed somewhat possible.

Very dangerous space accident? !

After thinking about it, he decided to call Director Zhang to discuss it together.

"Boss, according to what you mean, we want to find a way to limit NASA's 'solid water detection' activities on the moon..."

NASA has also started the "Lunar Solid Water" detection mission.

and so……

After all, the Phoenix Group has discovered "solid water" here, which means that the temperature environment and geographical conditions in this area can exist "lunar solid water". The probability of them detecting new "solid water" is naturally very high .

With a pause in his tone, Professor Wu looked at Hu Lai.

What if? !

Today's Phoenix Group has already invested a huge amount in exploring the moon. If the "ultra-high-power phased array satellite" is to be launched next, the investment will reach tens of billions of dollars!

Hearing Director Zhang curse so angrily, Professor Wu smiled on his face, and said lightly:
"Old Zhang, don't get excited, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, now it's time for us to 'repay him in the same way'."

Hu Lai was not in a hurry, he knew that this was Professor Wu's habit when thinking about problems.

"...so, my thinking is that now NASA is doing the same as us with 'solid water' missions on the South Pole of the Moon, which is obviously something we don't want to see!"

Once successfully launched, not to mention the realization of data transmission between professional communication equipment and the earth, I am afraid that satellite calls between the earth and the moon can be received!
but.

Director Zhang smiled, but did not answer.

He had followed Hu Lai back when the Phoenix Group was still the Phoenix Bicycle Factory, so he knew Hu Lai very well.

"Boss, if it only targets a 'moon probe', then things will be much simpler."

The first is the problem of communication signal transmission.

"We don't need to damage their power units either..."

Such a giant communication satellite needs a preliminary statistical cost of about 120 billion US dollars...

"Now we just need to find a way to hit the solar panels on their probes that are already working...with the fragility of the solar panels, if there is any failure, they will lose enough power sources. The Viper probe will Totally inoperable."

Seeing that both Hu Lai and Zhang were stunned, Professor Wu went on to say:

This is why although humans have explored the moon for decades and left 19 probes on the "lunar surface", it was not until 2019 that the "Chang'e-[-]" of the Aerospace Corporation completed the first "lunar back" in human history. login.

"Their 'Viper probe' is a traditional probe. After landing on the moon, the probe immediately deployed the solar panels on the rover."

What worries Hu Lai most is.

After saying these few sentences, Professor Wu didn't continue talking, but frowned even more, subconsciously lit a cigarette and smoked.

The fragility of solar panels is also well known, not to mention battery damage caused by severe impacts, and even sometimes covered by wind and sand may cause a short circuit and fail to generate electricity.

At this moment, Hu Lai fell into silence.

If you hit the "Viper probe" under the pretext of being out of control, you only have one chance.

and.

Such a move will definitely anger North America completely, causing the situation to suddenly heat up!
