Chapter 1045 : Mars Window Period
Half a year later!
The Longguo Mars lander equipment was developed under the leadership of Jiang Fan.
Mars landing equipment is mainly used to carry astronauts to Mars.
This link is very risky. If it is not done well, accidents may occur, resulting in the failure of landing on Mars.
Now Jiang Fan only has a 70% success rate for the Mars landing equipment he is researching.
After all, the environment on Mars is much harsher than the environment on the Moon, and you will be subject to location risks such as sand and dust storms on Mars at any time.
After many experiments, Jiang Fan came to Longguo's senior leader No. 1 with the experimental results report.
After No. 1 listened to Jiang Fan's report, he immediately summoned several other high-level officials from the Dragon Kingdom to hold a meeting.
All the senior leaders of Long Kingdom soon arrived.
Number 1 said to Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, please report the situation to everyone!"
Jiang Fan then said to everyone.
"Dear leaders, now we have developed Mars landing equipment, but the success rate is only 70%. The remaining 30% is due to external force majeure factors, so we cannot control it..."
The senior leaders of Dragon Kingdom also know that there are many situations that they cannot control.
The success rate of 70% is already very high.
"Jiang Fan, since we have achieved perfection subjectively, as for some objective reasons that cannot be changed, we can only listen to God's will."
"So when can we launch a Mars landing?"
One of the senior executives said.
Jiang Fan thought for a moment.
"There will be a window period for landing on Mars in half a year. If this window period is passed, we may have to wait another 26 months."
The Mars detection window period is the closest distance between Mars and the blue star.
This landing on Mars is the fastest and most economical in terms of time and cost.
It's like when you go to visit a friend, if it's close you can just walk a few steps, but if it's far away you have to drive there, which wastes gas!
The same is true for visiting Mars. The closest Mars is to Blue Star is only 50 million kilometers, and the furthest is 400 million kilometers. Therefore, the Mars cycle is when Mars is 50 million kilometers away from Blue Star.
They were really reluctant to wait for more than two years.
Because they have already paid too much to land on Mars, if it takes more than two years, I don’t know if Dragon Kingdom can survive.
"I agree with Jiang Fan's proposal. This time our Dragon Kingdom must try to land on Mars."
"You're right, we can't wait any longer."
"According to reliable information, the United States and developed countries have developed super lunar energy ore on the moon."
"The energy contained in the super moon energy ore is higher than any energy source in the past."
"The beautiful country has developed a lot of high technologies based on super energy ores. Maybe these technologies have surpassed our dragon country."
"..."
Regarding the super energy ore, No. 1 and others have talked about it before.
But they did not choose to compete with the beautiful country. The main reason was that the dragon country put all its energy into the Mars landing project.
There is simply no extra money or time to search for super energy ores.
So No. 1 and others chose to give up and compete with the beautiful country for super energy ores.
"According to the character of the beautiful country, they have been so quiet in the world during this period. They must be concentrating on high technology and give us a painful blow to the Piaolong country at any time!"
"Our current situation in the Dragon Country is still very dangerous. The Beautiful Country may challenge us at any time."
"Now that our Dragon Kingdom has many high-tech weapons developed by Jiang Fan, the beautiful country doesn't dare to do anything to our Dragon Kingdom!"
"..."
However, Jiang Fan fell into deep thought when faced with the contents of the discussion among Longguo's senior leaders.
Then, he said to these senior officials of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Leaders, I'm afraid the matter is more serious than you think."
"Although I have developed many high-tech weapons, if the beautiful country mines super lunar energy ore, they will definitely develop even more powerful technology."
"Don't forget that the emergence of a new type of energy will greatly improve existing technology. Just like the energy ore we developed on the moon!"
"..."
When the senior leaders of Long Kingdom heard what Jiang Fan said, they suddenly felt worried.
"Jiang Fan, if this is the case, what should we do?"
"The best way is to land on Mars, bring back the californium material, and develop controllable nuclear fusion."
"You must know that controllable nuclear fusion is currently the most powerful energy source on Blue Star. It is also known as the key to outer space technology..."
The senior officials of Dragon Kingdom are very familiar with the controllable nuclear fusion.
If, in the near future, the Alliance of Developed Countries really has any thoughts about the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom can only rely on controllable nuclear fusion if it wants to resist.
On the 1st, they all agreed that Jiang Fan would lead the Long Kingdom's scientific research team to carry out this Mars landing.
"Regarding this Mars landing, we have successfully researched all relevant technologies, but we still face a serious problem."
"What's the problem?"
A senior executive asked.
"Due to the flight distance of our Mars manned lander, the propeller fuel is only enough to fly to Mars, but it cannot return."
"Can't return?"
The senior officials of Long Kingdom were a little shocked.
If we can only fly to Mars, we cannot return to Blue Star.
So even if they discover californium matter on Mars, how can they transport californium back?
You know, the main purpose of their entire nation's effort to land on Mars is to mine Martian lithium materials.
But at this time, Jiang Fan told them that the Mars manned lander could not return.
"Jiang Fan, if we can't return, how will we bring the californium material back to Blue Star?"
"Yes, Jiang Fan, if we can't bring back the californium material, then our landing on Mars will be meaningless!"
"..."
Several senior leaders of Dragon Kingdom were disappointed.
And No. 1 knows Jiang Fan best.
Jiang Fan will not land on Mars rashly.
He guessed that Jiang Fan must have other methods.
"Everyone, don't worry, Jiang Fan must have other solutions."
After hearing what No. 1 said, everyone reacted and hurriedly looked at Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan said with a frown.
"There is indeed a way to solve this problem, but the risk is still relatively high."
"For this Mars landing, we are carrying a controllable nuclear fusion device and some related equipment. As long as we find that those dark red stones are californium, we can extract californium on the spot."
"Controllable nuclear fusion was developed on Mars, and then controlled nuclear fusion was used as a propeller to transport the mined californium material back to the Blue Star."
"..."
After listening to Jiang Fan's plan, the senior leaders of Long Kingdom fell into deep thought.
Jiang Fan's plan is quite risky.
First, they couldn't tell for sure whether the material found on Mars was californium.
Secondly, even if it is a rare substance, can they extract it?
Thirdly, even if they refine this californium material on Mars, can they successfully develop controllable nuclear fusion?
"Jiang Fan, is the risk of the plan you proposed too great?"
One of the senior executives said.
"Dear leaders, due to time constraints, we simply cannot develop an energy source that can provide energy from Blue Star to Mars and back in a short period of time."
Nowadays, the energy problem of space thrusters is a very serious problem.
In a short period of time, they would not be able to study it at all.
Currently Jiang Fan is the only solution.
But if there is a small mistake in one of the links, their Dragon Kingdom will lose everything.
