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

The 2018 New Year's Eve aerospace gift seemed a bit petty compared to the past three years, but it was more people-friendly.

The stage for this display was in Qinling. The local government organized thousands of people to participate and gathered in an area in the suburbs.

Everyone was given lanterns with different shapes that mixed traditional and technological elements. The shapes were not particularly exquisite and beautiful, but they all had one thing in common:

There is no battery, just a receiving coil connected to the energy-saving light bulb.

When people are ready, Chiwu-3 transmits microwaves to a large area with extremely low power. The power received by each lantern does not exceed 1 watt. This power will not have any bad effects on the human body or equipment.

But when nearly ten thousand lights suddenly lit up in the darkness, accompanied by countless shouts of surprise, it still gave all participants the most intuitive shock.

Pairs of eyes couldn't help but look up at the night sky, trying to find that magical man-made object that spans 36,000 kilometers and transmits electricity to almost 90% of the length of the equator.

He is also very hands-on, and he found a way to combine the receiver with the wireless charging mobile phone that just appeared on the market, successfully making the mobile phone become a "space battery".

It turns out that the Aviation Development Commission actually proposed that Chiwu-3 take turns covering multiple Spring Festival Gala venues across the country and distribute low-power wireless chargers so that people can experience wireless power transmission with their mobile phones, but in the end it was cautiously rejected.

The main reason is that the coverage range is too large and the impact is unknown. Moreover, the demand for on-site wireless communication is very high. Microwave may affect the normal operation of a large number of electronic devices, so it has to be continuously downgraded to suburban demonstrations.

As for before the show, a large number of netizens boldly speculated that a nuclear bomb might be set off as fireworks, but naturally it did not appear. On the contrary, it was interesting that four lunar astronauts sent blessings to the country on behalf of United Mining. They also showed off the latest T7 mobile lunar base, and A piece of turbid moon ice was dug out with a shovel at the ice mine.

The entire Spring Festival of the Year of the Dog is still spent in a technological atmosphere, but a few people have noticed that the pace of aerospace seems to be faster than before.

…

February 22, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Beijing.

For Lin Ju, the seven-day annual leave was almost unnoticeable. He came to the capital again on the day he officially resumed work.

Firstly, because he is personally responsible for the 210 project, it is more convenient for technical and other exchanges here. Secondly, it is for the intensive Mars exploration plan.

The Tianwen-1 detector has been manufactured and is undergoing more tests and inspections. The remaining three detectors are also nearing completion.

As for Tianwen-5, which is the sister ship of Jiuzhang, it needs to be named. The basic part of its framework has been completed in Xinyuan, and it can be outfitted and ready for launch within April.

However, compared with the relatively smooth technical part, the exploration plan has begun to show the disadvantage of being launched in a hurry. Until now, it still needs to discuss adjusting the specific landing site and planning detection targets.

Entering the Aviation Development Commission office, Lin Ju heard Zhong Cheng talking on the phone and complaining unabashedly.

The latter made a gesture when he saw his arrival, said a few more words before hanging up, and then angrily said:

"These liars have started to deceive people under the guise of aerospace again!"

"what's the situation?"

Facing the inquiry, Zhong Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and told the truth:

“My mother-in-law was deceived into buying an energy-saving lamp. The scammer told her that it was the kind of space lamp that was used in the Spring Festival Gala. It has no batteries and does not require electricity. Pressing the switch can light up for free.

They also promoted a power saver based on the same principle. You can use space power to save electricity by plugging it into a socket. It cost a total of 4,000 yuan!

It’s not that I feel sorry for the four thousand yuan, but this, this, this…”

Lin Ju: "..."

The space electric light is of course a charlatan's trick. In fact, this thing has appeared before, but at that time I told you directly that it was a light that didn't use electricity. In fact, it just had a battery inside.

Now it's just that the words have been updated, and the things are probably still the same, but one still has to admire these scammers' keen sense of catching up with trends.

Even Zhong Ju’s mother-in-law can be fooled, which shows that this trend is not small...

Zhong Cheng: "I have already found someone. It is estimated that there will be many people who have been deceived. We must immediately refute the rumors and make an announcement!"

After being frantic on the spot for a while, Zhong Cheng forced himself to calm down and walked inside with Lin Ju while chatting:

"There are two options for naming the Tianwen-5 spacecraft. One is the personal name 'Zhongyao', and the other is the 'Zhurong'. Which one do you prefer?"

Lin Ju: "Let's stick with Zhurong. People's names should still be used on more meaningful... deep probes or spacecrafts. Jiuzhang is the first XH40. Besides, it is more appropriate to use 'Zhurong' for the Mars mission."

When you designed MTV, it was also called ‘Zhu Rong’, which happened to be used. "

"Then I'll mention it later..."

Zhong Cheng is also more in favor of the name 'Zhu Rong'. In China, not abroad, it is actually not very popular to use celebrity names. It was before and still is now.

"One more thing. We have reached an agreement with Lucia and Yifa. We will carry out the first multinational astronaut joint landing on the moon in April and use the Shuguang 4 spacecraft to start the construction of the Guanghan Palace base.

They proposed to purchase a batch of Explorer II robots for exploration and construction tasks, and we agreed. "

The Dawn 4 mission has set a date, which means that the exchange of interests is in place. Lin Ju doesn't care much about this. As for the purchase of the Explorer series robots, he certainly has no objection.

"No problem, United Mining can also prepare to buy a batch and ride them."

The Explorer II has not been manufactured for a long time. Apart from being temporarily unnecessary, it is also being continuously improved.

Facts have proved that although it is an out-and-out heavy consumable, it is cheap and widely used. In the long run, it is simply an indispensable and excellent labor force, especially when humanoid robots are temporarily inconvenient for public use.

The biggest change in the latest modification plan is the folding seat, which is placed on the back of the explorer. It is much more powerful for astronauts to ride over mountains and ridges than a lunar rover.

As for when the humanoid robot will appear in front of the public, the base already has a plan.

The development trend of humanoid robots in the original world will have to wait until after 2020. OpenAI company has led a huge revolution in the entire artificial intelligence industry. Tesla began to promote humanoid robots in 2021. Before Lin Ju’s rebirth, artificial intelligence models could already control humanoids. The robot followed the instructions and moved smoothly.

In this world, thanks to Xin'an's smart driving system that was released ahead of schedule, mainstream companies are continuing to increase their investment in AI, and overall they are basically about a year ahead of their time.

Now we can basically start to promote the concept of "making humanoid robots" to the outside world, and then gradually unveil the veil. Waiting until the eve of the launch of manned missions to Mars or Saturn, the time will be almost appropriate to release them in a limited manner.
