Chapter 622 Establishing a Moon Base
In addition to the continuous development of rocket technology, Xu You and others have also upgraded the lunar rover.
Compared with the Jintu-1 lunar rover, the Jintu-2 lunar rover has more comprehensive capabilities. It can not only carry out various survey work, but can even play a vital role in the construction of lunar scientific research bases and rocket bases.
effect.
"If every launch mission can go so smoothly, then even without the help of Sam Space Agency, we can complete the construction of the rocket launch base by ourselves." Xu You thought.
However, after all, rocket launches cannot always be 100% successful. Especially with such frequent rocket launch missions, failure is probably inevitable.
At this time, Hu Shucheng frowned and asked:
"Xu You, do you think this time the asteroid will really enter the low-Earth orbit?"
"I'm not a god, so how can I predict whether it will come? But I always have a feeling that the probability of this asteroid approaching the Blue Star will continue to increase."
During this period, Xu You was also constantly conducting simulations and predicting the final trajectory of the asteroid.
However, due to the randomness of the event, Xu You's prediction results are different every time, and there is indeed a situation where the asteroid eventually enters a low-Earth orbit.
It even includes the extremely special situation that an asteroid just happens to land on the moon.
After the moon landing rocket mission officially started, Xu You was monitoring various data of the rocket and spacecraft in the control center, and paying attention to the dynamics of the asteroid.
The primary purpose of this group of astronauts landing on the moon is to first complete the construction of the lunar scientific research station and station it on the moon for a long time to meet the astronauts who will arrive later.
With the artificial gravity system, astronauts can experience the same gravity in the scientific research station as on Blue Star, and will no longer encounter common problems astronauts such as osteoporosis.
As long as there are sufficient resources, you will not encounter any physical problems if you stay on the moon for a long time.
This time the rocket launch mission was still very successful. The two astronauts successfully carried supplies to the moon and started the establishment of a scientific research base.
The materials carried by the astronauts are all very light and compressible materials. After expansion, their density is very small, but their hardness is high enough to ensure the stability of the base.
In the live broadcast, two astronauts are constructing a lunar scientific research base with the help of the Golden Rabbit-2 lunar rover.
"As you can see, our Jintu-2 lunar rover is excavating the foundation. Compared with Jintu-1, Jintu-2 has stronger digging capabilities and is a good helper for our construction on the moon.
And the building materials we use are also brought directly from Blue Star."
On the screen, two astronauts are using the moon bricks they carry to build a base.
"These are lunar bricks we specially made based on the lunar environment. As long as astronauts stack these bricks together, they can automatically stick together. This kind of lunar bricks not only has high strength, but also has good properties."
The radiation protection effect. Once the lunar base is set up, the astronauts no longer need to wear heavy extravehicular suits inside, and can change to lighter in-vehicle suits."
The mass of the extravehicular suit is very high. Wearing the extravehicular suit for work for a long time is a great test for astronauts.
Such a scientific research base can allow astronauts to ensure their rest after work and restore their physical strength and energy faster.
In the following time, we successfully launched several lunar landing rockets and sent more astronauts to the moon.
With the completion of the construction of the lunar scientific research base, the construction of the lunar rocket launch base has also begun.
"Academician Xu, Sam Space Agency has contacted us again and wants to have a conversation with you."
Xu You heard this and asked, "Is it Robert again?"
"No, this time it's Director Williams."
Hearing this, Xu You felt a little disappointed.
Speaking of which, Xu You prefers to communicate with technical staff like Robert rather than the more powerful Williams and Johnson.
After all, Xu You is essentially a scientific researcher and prefers technical exchanges.
But at this time, it was definitely not a small matter for Williams to find him, and Xu You had no reason to refuse.
Putting the work at hand aside for the time being, Xu You came to the liaison room and started a call with Williams.
"Academician Xu You, I'm glad to be able to speak with you! Speaking of which, this is the first communication between us."
Before the conversation with Robert, Sam Space Agency had always sent Commander Johnson to talk with Xu You. This was the first time Williams had a conversation with Xu You.
"Yes, Director Williams. It was Commander Johnson and Researcher Robert who were talking to me before. I don't know why Director Williams remembered to talk to me personally this time?"
"Don't dare, I'm just a little person compared to you, Academician Xu You. Academician Xu You, you should know that our Sam Space Agency is also going to restart the manned moon landing project. We still have a certain amount of payload remaining.
, I wonder if I can help you?”
Judging from what Williams said, this time Sam Space Agency wants to help us send some goods to the moon.
Xu You did not answer hastily, but asked:
"The load capacity of your spaceship is also very tight, right? Is there really any left?"
"After all, it is returning to the moon again after decades. It is more of a proof of ability. Many survey missions are actually not that important, and what you have done during this period will not be too big if we repeat it.
The significance. Our most important task now is the construction of the lunar rocket base. Our capabilities are limited, but as long as we can make a little effort, we will definitely do our best."
"What conditions does Chief Williams have?"
Williams paused and replied:
"We don't have any conditions. Of course, if our astronauts can live in your scientific research base, then our astronauts can help even more."
Hearing Williams' answer, Xu You immediately became vigilant.
It is definitely not a good choice to rashly let Sam's astronauts live in our scientific research base.
"Director Williams, I can't make a decision on this matter personally. It still needs to be discussed with superiors. You know, in fact, like Robert, I am just a researcher. I am not in charge of the entire Sam Space Agency like you.
"Xu You replied.
