Academicians of major countries start from top students

Chapter 351 The expectations of all mankind
"Today is the last batch of spare parts. We estimate that in another half a month, the Zhengtu will be completely completed."

2030 12 Month 18 Day.

Wednesday.

At the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft manufacturing base, Professor Wood stood by and reported to Xu Yuan.

It has been a year since the Jiuzhang-6 quantum computer came out.

During this period, quantum computers not only accelerated the manufacturing of spacecraft, but also helped other domestic university laboratories solve many research problems.

I don’t know how much time it saves.

Greatly reduces the cost of trial and error.

It can be said that because of the existence of Jiuzhang No. 6, technical problems that used to take several years to solve can now produce valuable results in half the time or even less time.

You can imagine what this means.

It is precisely for this reason that Jiuzhang No. 6 is so popular among everyone, and everyone hopes to apply for the right to use it.

For this reason, the Quantum Innovation Institute has had almost no free time in the past year.

Make every effort to increase the number of quantum computers.

However, because an application is required, it has not yet been available overseas.

It makes many company laboratories envious.

On Xu Yuan's side, the construction of the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft was naturally going very smoothly.

Now if you look up, you can already see the huge shape of the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft.

Although it is smaller than the first domestically produced aircraft carrier No. 001, more than meters is still a huge thing for ordinary people, not to mention that this behemoth is also equipped with the latest nuclear fusion engine, which can increase the maximum flight speed of the spacecraft to % of the speed of light. In a sense, it can be said to be more sci-fi than a sci-fi movie.

Some other members of the alliance also participated in the project and were responsible for the manufacture of some components.

These parts are being transferred here one after another at the moment.

The assembly with the main body of Zhengtu was completed.

When all these things are completed, Zhengtu will be able to officially conduct full system operation testing.

Then ignite and take off.

Thinking that human civilization has finally taken the most critical first step in its exploration of space, even Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.

"That's good."

The thought stayed here, and he turned around and said: "The parts delivered must be strictly checked, and there must not be any problems." He specifically instructed Wood.

The voice just fell.

He Luping on the right smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The relevant requirements were set by you, Chief Xu."

"I will take personal responsibility for it." Professor Wood also nodded.

Xu Yuan felt relieved after hearing this.

From the initiation of the Journey starship project to today, more than a year has passed, and he has naturally seen the performance of these experts in the alliance. It can be said that he does not need to worry about their attitude and strength since they were chosen to join the alliance.

Wood was particularly pure, with only one thought in his mind, which was to witness the departure of the Journey with his own eyes.

The conversation between the few people reached this point, and Xu Yuan raised his eyes again and looked at the spaceship that was about to open its eyes.

I just feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

At the same time, we have to sigh that it is truly unimaginable to gather the world's strength and resources.

In the past, it took several years just to build a domestically-made aircraft carrier.

The efficiency and slow progress are so slow that people sometimes forget that the country actually has a new aircraft carrier under construction.

And now, spacecraft capable of traveling within the solar system have been basically completed so quickly.

He became more and more convinced that this was the era of technological explosion for human civilization.

It's coming.

In the following time, Xu Yuan did not leave directly. Instead, he and He Luping, Wood and others went directly to the interior of the Zhengtu to investigate the final progress of the spacecraft.

As reported by the people below, the spacecraft's nuclear fusion engine, reactor, force field drive device and other important parts are now in place.

Combined with some other maintenance systems, astronauts can live like they do on land.

In addition, the Zhengtu does not have a weapon system and is relatively simple.

There are only a few small parts left, and with everyone's superb efficiency, it is estimated that it can be completed in less than half a month.

After confirming that the progress of the spacecraft was developing as planned, Xu Yuan decided not to stay in the spacecraft for too long to avoid affecting the work of relevant engineering personnel.

It is also worth mentioning that in the next half month.

The space agency is also very busy.

The astronauts for the next mission are being selected.

With the advent of the Journey starship, the conventional manned spacecraft used in the past will definitely be retired.

With the performance of Zhengtu, it can carry a large number of people each time.

Unlike before, there were only three astronauts launching the rocket, which was a completely small-scale operation.

Besides, this is the first mission of the Zhengtu and there are many things to do.

In addition to transporting some supplies and space robots to the moon, it is also necessary to complete the construction of the lunar nuclear fusion device and quantum computers.

Make the first human base on the moon worthy of the name.

Therefore, not only will the spacecraft stay on the moon, but astronauts will also live in the lunar base for a short period of time.

Achieve new achievements in human civilization's conquest of space.

After completing these important tasks, the only thing left is to go to Mars.

This was the first time human footprints were left on the surface of Mars.

Fortunately, the Zhengtu is a project of the Global Space Exploration Alliance, and there will definitely not be only domestic astronauts on the spacecraft.

Several core member countries overseas will also send their own astronauts.

Of course, in terms of quota, we can’t compare with domestic ones.

As for whether to agree or not, overseas countries do not have the right to choose at all.

January has arrived in the blink of an eye.

While the outside world is enjoying the New Year's Day holiday, at the Global Space Exploration Alliance base, hundreds of world-renowned experts are on high alert.

Because today the Zhengtu spacecraft will undergo a full system operation test.

This is related to whether the Zhengtu can be successfully launched.

Into space.

At this time, everyone gathered in the core control cabin of the spacecraft, their eyes fixed on the display screen in the middle.

Although there were nearly a hundred people on site, the core control cabin did not seem crowded given its size.

"All preparations have been completed, and the spacecraft can begin full system operation testing at any time."

He Luping spoke first at this time and reported to Xu Yuan again about the current status of the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft.

Although the other people behind him didn't say anything, they didn't hide their emotions at all, and it seemed as if these four words were written on their faces.

Can't wait.

Xu Yuan's mood was naturally the same as everyone else's.

Now that we have reached the last step, there is definitely no need to waste time.

So Xu Yuan immediately gave instructions.

"Begin the test."

Almost as soon as the order was issued, the staff sitting at the operating table took immediate action.

By issuing commands one after another through the control panel, this seemingly sleeping giant gradually woke up.

It was not until the energy from the Hyperloop IV nuclear fusion device was quickly transmitted to every part of the spacecraft that the first interstellar spacecraft of mankind finally truly woke up. As each part of the spacecraft was still running self-checks, system broadcasts began to sound in the core control cabin.

"The nuclear fusion reactor was ignited successfully."

"Force field drive in operation."

"Debugging the tail nuclear fusion engine..."

"Life support system is normal."

……

"The temperature control system is normal."

The whole process lasted only a few minutes, and the spacecraft completed a round of operational testing.

As for the final result, it is naturally normal.

"Chief Xu."

"The operational test results of the Zhengtu are out, and all systems are normal."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"It meets the requirements for ignition and takeoff."

He Luping was so happy that he couldn't help but get excited, and there was an obvious tremor in his voice when he said this.

Similarly, Professor Wood, who was standing next to him, was not much better.

The joy on his face was about to overflow.

"We succeeded, and humanity has its first interstellar spacecraft, which is fantastic."

He had made a lot of achievements in the starship project, and each test launch of the starship became more perfect.

But several years have passed and the starship still has not landed on the moon.

Not to mention the ultimate goal of Mars.

But after joining the Global Exploration Alliance, it hasn't been long since we saw interstellar spaceships, and even space travel speeds of 100% of the speed of light.

If we go at full speed, it will only take a few hours to reach Mars.

This was something I never dared to think about before.

As these thoughts emerged in his mind, he became more and more grateful that he had made the right choice.

Resolutely join the Global Space Exploration Alliance.

The key is that he has learned a lot during this time and his level has improved.

Not long after, when he had calmed down a little, he suddenly thought of something.

He immediately said to Xu Yuan beside him: "Chief Xu, now that the spacecraft has passed the full system operation test, is it time to carry out the specific mission next?"

Xu Yuan listened to everything Wood said, and he naturally understood what Wood was thinking at this time.

So without much hesitation, he said, "It is indeed time to put it on the agenda."

"Humans need to go to Mars to prove to the solar system that we can step out of Earth and into the universe.

He had just finished saying this when he added more.

"Let's tell everyone this good news first, and then confirm a date for the official departure. I believe this will excite all of humanity."

"It's really exciting." He Luping said with a smile.

The conversation between the few people ended here. As for what happened next, there would naturally be special personnel to carry out the work.

This made the few people not rush to leave. They stayed in the core control cabin for the rest of the time and continued to conduct more detailed tests on other small functions of the spacecraft.

Although the overall performance of Zhengtu is very strong, in addition to staying on the surface of the moon, it also has to go to Mars. You know, the environment there is more complex and changeable.

Therefore, we must ensure that everything is foolproof and no problems can occur.

After all, with Xu Yuan, it's always 100%.

-

The official speed was indeed very fast. Almost one hour after the Zhengtu completed the full system operation test, major media newspapers collectively reported on the successful development of the Zhengtu.

They also released a frontal photo of the Zhengtu, which is full of sci-fi elements and makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

In addition, the official also announced the missions that the Zhengtu will perform.

When everyone learned that the first base on the moon was about to be completed and astronauts would also travel to the surface of Mars, the popularity suddenly exploded and sparked heated discussions among many people.

It was particularly noteworthy that the spacecraft's fastest speed reached a terrifying 1% of the speed of light.

He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Because this is news that has not been disclosed before, it is a big surprise to announce it now.

"Oh my god, the speed of the Zhengtu is actually 1% of the speed of light. I am not seeing things."

"The Journey was completed so quickly. That's amazing."

"As expected of Chief Xu."

"With this spacecraft, human exploration of space will become much easier to a great extent."

"If the speed of light is 1 percent, then it would only take a few hours to reach Mars."

“I’m really looking forward to it more and more.”

"It really is easier to use an interstellar spacecraft. We only need one trip to build a quantum computer and a reactor. There should be astronauts living on the moon in the future."

"Will it be broadcast live? I want to witness humans set foot on Mars with my own eyes."

"I heard that many space robots will be left on the moon and Mars to conduct continuous observation. To be honest, it feels like a science fiction movie coming true."

……

While the entire network was discussing the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft, the spacecraft also became busy.

The most intuitive thing is that a large amount of space supplies are transported into the spacecraft.

This includes quantum computers and reactor components, as well as equipment for building a lunar base, instruments for scientific experiments, etc. In short, the number is very considerable.

If we still use a new generation of manned spacecraft for transportation, I really don’t know how many Long March 10 missiles we will have to launch to complete the task.

I'm afraid the cost alone won't be enough to sustain it.

However, what interests Xu Yuan most is the space robot project that the Academy of Sciences is responsible for.

Speaking of this space robot that has undergone several iterations, it made use of Xu Yuan's previous proof of the singularity of difficult mathematical problems.

Under the instructions of the quantum computer, various space robot vehicles can cooperate with each other.

Division of labor and cooperation.

This will enable efficient base construction.

To put it in a simpler way, it is equivalent to moving the title of Chinese infrastructure maniacs to the moon.

that's it.

When it came to the end of January, it was finally the scheduled date for the Zhengtu to ignite and set sail.

For this purpose, CCTV specially organized a special program to broadcast the entire ignition process live around the world.

It is also worth mentioning that quantum computers have been put into use on the moon.

Establish quantum communication with the Earth.

There will also be a 24-hour live broadcast on the moon.

As soon as this news appeared on the Internet, everyone was excited.

After all, since the rise of live streaming, no one has been lucky enough to see real-time live streaming on the moon.

It can be called witnessing history.

Therefore, as soon as the live broadcast of the central station started, netizens who had been looking forward to it for a long time could not wait to enter the live broadcast room to wait, even though there were still several hours before the scheduled take-off time of the Zhengtu.

As for Xu Yuan and a large number of other relevant personnel, they gathered in the control and command hall of the base, where they will pay close attention to the situation of the spacecraft throughout the entire process.
