I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 383 Mars Expedition Team
"Teacher, it is because of your generation's dedication that we have everything we have now!"

"Just like our current efforts can bring prosperity and confidence to our future generations."

Liu Fei looked at Li Yunfan.

To be honest, it is difficult for the new generation of young people to understand the feelings of Li Yunfan and his generation.

The new generation of young people is much more confident than the older generation.

"Yes!"

“Without the dedication and hard work of generations, how can there be a better life?”

Li Yunfan smiled and nodded.

At this time, Liu Fei's secretary Gu Qinghe came over and said, "Boss Liu!"

"We have just received calls from many overseas research institutes and institutions. After learning that we are organizing a scientific expedition to Mars, they hope that we can allow their team of scientists to join the expedition!"

"All rejected!"

"What a joke! We worked so hard on the research and spent so much money to organize the Mars expedition. Why should we bring their scientists along?"

Without even thinking about it, Liu Fei directly and decisively refused.

"Yes!"

Gu Qinghe nodded solemnly and turned around to deal with these matters.

"Ha ha!"

"Happy!"

“Back then, when there were some international academic research and activities, it was very difficult for us to join in.”

"It's like the International Space Station just doesn't take us with it."

"Things have changed. Now it's time for them to beg us for help."

"It's just that they are much more shameless than us. They have no shame at all and dare to ask for anything they want."

Li Yunfan laughed happily.

In recent years, technological development has been very rapid, especially in the field of interstellar space. With the advent of anti-gravity technology, space technology has developed extremely rapidly.

Various overseas scientific research institutions and research institutes began to come to us constantly seeking cooperation, and each of them made shameless and outrageous demands.

Things like wanting anti-gravity spacecraft, requiring the disclosure of anti-gravity technology, etc.

Sometimes I wonder if they have lost their brains.

"They will ask us for help more often in the future."

"They will slowly learn how to bow their heads and ask others to do things for them."

Liu Fei raised his eyebrows and said confidently.

At this time, the "Flying Star" spacecraft had completed the final inspection, all the supplies had been loaded into the cargo hold of the spacecraft, and the battery had been fully charged.

It's time to set off.

"Teacher, are you really going to Mars?"

Liu Fei looked at Li Yunfan. He was already in his sixties, but even though he took good care of himself and ate star mushroom soup every day, he looked only in his forties.

But after all, given his age, to be honest, there are still many risks for him to go to Mars.

The average distance between the Earth and Mars is 2.25 million kilometers. The closest distance is about 5500 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is 4.3 million kilometers.

Such a long distance would take several minutes to reach even at the speed of light.

The distance between Mars and the Earth is not the closest now, it is about 1.5 million kilometers away.

Moreover, when flying from Earth to Mars, space travel does not mean flying in a straight line to Mars. Instead, you need to calculate the time and position in advance to fly to a certain position in Mars' orbit and finally reunite with Mars.

This mode of flight is professionally called "Hohmann transfer orbit" in academia, which is the most fuel- and energy-saving mode.

According to scientists' calculations, the final flight distance was 2.5 million kilometers.

Such a long distance, even according to the scientists' settings, the spacecraft will fly to Mars at a speed of 100 kilometers per second.

Taking into account the deceleration time when approaching Mars, it will take more than 30 days to reach Mars.

Being in a space environment for such a long time is acceptable for professionally trained astronauts and young people.

But for people in their 60s like Li Yunfan, there is still a great risk.

Apart from anything else, in space, you have to exercise every day and ride a fitness bike, which is very tiring.

This is just the journey there. If you count the time for scientific research in between, the possible trip to the asteroid belt, and the final return trip, it will also include the time for scientific research in between.

The whole process may take nearly half a year, and if there are changes in the middle, it may take even longer.

For an old man like Li Yunfan who is over sixty years old, if something happens, he may never be able to return to Earth.

"must go!"

"I have already made a will!" "Even if I die, I want to die on the road of exploring science."

"I think there must be extraterrestrial life on Mars."

"It is impossible that our Earth is the only living thing in the entire universe."

"The fact that there is no extraterrestrial life is more terrifying than the fact that there is extraterrestrial life. Life must exist in every corner of the universe."

Li Yunfan said very firmly.

After saying that, he walked straight outside. A large number of scientists, engineers, and astronauts had already started boarding the Flying Star spacecraft.

This time, there are a lot of people going to Mars to participate in the scientific expedition, and the entire team has more than 200 people.

In addition to engineers, astronauts, and mechanics, the largest number of people here are scientists.

There are not only scientists from Feiyun Institute of Technology, but also scientists from the national team.

The opportunity to conduct scientific research on Mars is extremely rare. Many scientists from national teams want to go, especially astronauts and biologists.

The natural purpose of astronomical scientists' scientific expedition to Mars is to study cosmic astronomy, Mars, the origin of the solar system, and so on.

Biologists travel to Mars mainly to search for extraterrestrial life.

For a long time, scientists believed that Mars should have been a planet with life more than a billion years ago.

Because all the signs we have learned so far indicate that Mars should have once had life, and that the conditions on Mars should have been able to give birth to life.

Biological scientists are going to Mars to look for signs of life.

If we can find traces of life on Mars, even the simplest and most primitive life, it will be the greatest and most significant discovery of this century.

There are many biological scientists who want to go, including some older scientists like Li Yunfan.

"Principal, it's time for me to leave too."

"Have a nice trip! Take care!"

Qiao Dan looked at Li Yunfan who was striding forward, said goodbye to Liu Fei beside him, and quickly followed Li Yunfan.

Qiao Dan studied biology and physics, and also did some research on cosmology and astronomy. He had always been clamoring to go on a scientific expedition to Mars.

There was no way out. Since he was a student of his school and an employee of his company, Liu Fei could only agree.

Liu Fei looked at the backs of Li Yunfan and Qiao Dan, and to be honest, he was still very envious of them.

Unlike me, who is entangled with so many mundane affairs that I can’t even move forward if I want to.

For a scientist, it is definitely a rare thing to be able to participate in such a major scientific research project.

Although it is just an exploration of Mars, it is definitely one of the most important scientific research projects in history.

Travel to Mars, more than 2 million kilometers away, and truly set foot on other planets to find the secrets of the origin of the universe, look for traces of extraterrestrial life, study the origin and evolution of the solar system, and explore the mysteries of the universe.

Soon, the Flying Star spacecraft started up slowly and rose into the air, its speed getting faster and faster. Soon, it became smaller and smaller in the field of vision and finally disappeared into the sky.

This spacecraft can be said to be the crystallization of the most advanced technology today.

In addition to anti-gravity power, there are also traditional rocket engines used to accelerate and decelerate in space.

At the same time, the spacecraft is equipped with more than a dozen small anti-gravity spacecraft, equipped with a large number of most advanced laboratories, exploration instruments, etc.

The cost of the entire spacecraft plus the various advanced equipment and instruments on board exceeds 500 billion yuan.

To be honest, now only Feiyun Technology has such strong financial resources and is willing to invest such a huge amount of money.

Even if the national team has money, there are so many places where money is needed, and it is difficult to invest hundreds of billions of yuan into this scientific expedition project at one time.

This is also the reason why many scientists insist on taking Feiyun Technology's scientific research spacecraft to Mars.

The opportunity is really rare.

To do scientific research, you need not only passion, but more importantly, you need money, equipment, instruments and opportunities.

Many scientific research results are actually achieved by spending money.

In space.

The 'Flying Star' spacecraft is orbiting the Earth to gain a greater initial velocity.

On the spaceship, master Li Yunfan and his apprentice Qiao Dan were assigned to the same room.

At this moment, the two people looked at the earth through the window, at this blue planet.

They will soon leave Earth for Mars, which is more than 2 million kilometers away, and the journey may take half a year.

"Please note!"

"The spacecraft is about to leave Earth's orbit and fly to Mars!"

"Everyone, do not leave your room and do not unfasten your seat belts. You can only move freely after the spacecraft completes acceleration and enters inertial flight!"

Soon, accompanied by the broadcast sounded on the spacecraft, the spacecraft accelerated at the apogee to break away from the Earth's orbit and flew towards somewhere in the void, officially starting the long scientific expedition journey.
