I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

On March 9, the command module of the Shuguang-2 spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and landed on the prairie with four dummies and storage tanks.

The helicopter search and rescue team found the location before the command module landed. Less than 5 minutes after the command module landed, search and rescue team members wearing orange clothing rushed up.

A group of people couldn't wait to pry open the hatch. Regardless of the remaining temperature on the surface of the command module, they ducked into the cabin and saw the tightly wrapped storage tank at a glance.

The first search and rescue team member tentatively lifted the handle on the metal belt but did not move it.

In the end, it took two people to move the storage tank onto the stretcher with great difficulty, and then immediately flew to the capital to start the opening work under the precious care of experts from the Aviation Development Commission.

After 10 hours of emergency work, the weight of the retrieved samples was finally calculated:

The total mass of ice, lunar rock, and lunar soil inside the storage tank is 78.452 kilograms. The lunar soil outside the storage tank and attached to the metal woven bag: 41.3 grams, and some particulate gravel.

A total of 78.4933 kilograms, which is about 157 kilograms, the weight of an adult!

157 pounds!

The Apollo program brought back a total of 382 kilograms of lunar soil. Aramco gave 1 gram as a gift, and China divided half of it, or 0.5 gram, to produce 14 reports.

Now, there are about 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil, and everyone in scientific research institutions across the country can share it, 10 grams per person!

Moreover, these 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil are more valuable than the 382 kilograms of the Apollo program. They are precious samples collected by explorer robots from many different places and contain strategic resources such as ice.

It is foreseeable that the literature on lunar geological resources will soon usher in a major explosion, and human beings are likely to raise their research on lunar resources and geology to a higher level.

On the day the lunar soil returned to Earth, Lin Ju and Ye Changsi flew to the capital on ARJ21. Why not fly a high-tech aircraft? Because I was complained about by my superiors...

Getting back to the topic, the Aerospace Development Committee has a plan on how to distribute the 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil. Due to the unforgettable contribution of the Explorer series robots, the base can also get a lot of samples.

The distribution ratio is 7:3, but it will not be publicized to the public. You can just take it back quietly according to the type of sample.

However, the allocation of lunar soil is more for formal purposes, and the truly valuable research results are very limited. It is enough to wait for others to finish the research and directly use the results to formulate plans.

As for the lunar soil Linju allocated to Xinyuan, its destination has been arranged long ago. The partner universities will get part of it, the base research will get part of it, and the remaining bits will be placed in glass display cabinets as decorations... That's it.

After all, lunar soil is not a rare thing in the foreseeable future. Not to mention 78.5 kilograms, 7850 kilograms can be achieved. At the beginning, Ami gave away 1 gram of lunar soil purely to show its greatness.

However, the Aerospace Development Commission immediately held a lunar soil acceptance ceremony. By the way, because of the astonishing performance of the Explorer series robots, they were invited to hold an artificial intelligence conference together, so the conference Lin Ju attended was:

""Shuguang-2 Mission Lunar Sample Acceptance Ceremony and HD District Artificial Intelligence Conference""

The artificial intelligence conference is relatively rushed, but the lineup is not bad. Now all Internet technology companies involved in artificial intelligence research are here, and they are all heavyweights.

"Commissioner Lin, your position is..."

Lin Ju found his seat in the front row under the adoring eyes of the space agency's welcoming staff, and sat with Ye Changsi.

For Xinyuan, this kind of meeting is mainly to make an appearance to enrich the audience lineup and to match the joyful mood of the space agency. Most of the time, it is mainly to participate in the specific work formulation of the Aerospace Development Committee.

The two of them arrived relatively early, so they quietly discussed the installation progress of the A100.

Because he was too involved, it took a long time for Lin Ju to turn around and find an unexpected person sitting next to him - Huichuang Ali Jackma.

In a daze, he realized that Alibaba was still at its peak, and that after setting off the wave of ternary systems and artificial intelligence, the existence of the three BAT giants was not low at all. Now Jack Ma is still "Dad Ma" and "President Ma."

Seeing Lin Ju, Ma Yun happily greeted him, and Lin Ju responded in kind.

"Hello, hello, Donglin Xima, I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"It's really a coincidence..."

Lin Ju didn't have much intention to chat, but Ma Yun was obviously very interested in him and quickly started the topic.

"I heard that the Explorer robot was manufactured by Xinyuan. Your intelligent technology is really quite powerful."

Lin Ju: "AI is the future development direction of mankind. We are just investing in research in advance. This kind of learning artificial intelligence should actually originally originate from the big data model based on the Internet."

Jack Ma: "I particularly don't like to call AI artificial intelligence. I call it 'Alibaba Intelligence'..."

Lin Ju: "..."

Good guy, did you cut off what you were supposed to say to Musk two years in advance?

"Uh, indeed." Lin Ju smiled reluctantly in response to this cold joke.

"E-commerce actually has great AI application prospects, such as..."

Jack Ma: "I am particularly surprised by your vision for technology. I am not a high-tech person, I am about life... People should have more confidence. AI is not a threat or a scary thing. Humans can do it too." Learn. I’m very optimistic. I don’t think AI is a threat. I don’t think AI is a scary thing because humans are very smart.”

Lin Ju looked at Ma Dazui, who was talking eloquently but without any useful information. He was used to communicating with professional and technical personnel for a long time, and he didn't know how to respond. He took advantage of the inadvertent gap to look back at Ye Changsi, who was secretly shaking his head.

…

After the reception ceremony, the whole world knew that Shuguang-2 brought back 78.5 kilograms of lunar soil, which also set a record for the weight of samples returned from the moon in a single time. The previous record was 73 kilograms brought back by the Apollo 17 mission.

The second country to complete the return of lunar samples was the former Alliance. Three unmanned missions returned 326 grams of lunar soil.

Then everyone is concerned about which countries the lunar soil will be given to, and what is special about it compared with what was obtained before.

Of course, NACA has the most expectations. After all, they presented 1 gram of lunar soil as a national gift in 1978, and they are looking forward to whether there will be a return gift.

However, after waiting for several days, everyone was stunned by the result.

The space agency donated 1 kilogram of lunar samples from the Dawn-2 mission to Lucia, Laiguo, Italy, and Arbor each to show their partnership in aerospace and other aspects.

Just from these four countries, 1 kilogram per family is obviously an extremely valuable gift, but there is no other list.

Although NACA did not say yes, CNN soon reported that an unnamed source accused CASA of disregarding the traditional friendship between the two countries and should share lunar samples, with at least one kilogram required in return.

However, a daily newspaper immediately published the Wolf Clause in response, and at the same time emphatically praised the "generous gifts" NACA had given. Aramco has donated lunar soil to 145 countries, basically only 1 gram.

In comparison, we know how generous the space agency is to give one kilogram. Of course, they also have the confidence to be generous. There are so many follow-up missions of the Dawn Project. Even if one kilogram is given to one country in the world, it can be almost completed in one mission. .
