Chapter 1,268 Who is looking in the distance, above the moon
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao waved his hands and said: "No, this is not what I want. If this is the case, then there is no need to proceed with this project."
After hearing his words, everyone tensed up. As for Zhou Xiangming, he immediately nodded at Wu Hao and said, "Yes, of course we can't do this.
Therefore, since the establishment of this project, we have focused on researching the autonomous driving technology of the lunar rover.
In order to fully obtain relevant experimental data, we simulated a test site similar to the lunar terrain and landform environment in the Gobi Desert, dozens of kilometers away from here.
Then put the experimental lunar rover inside, equipped with the autonomous driving technology we developed, and drive autonomously inside.
At the beginning of the experiment, there were naturally many difficulties and problems. Not only did the experimental lunar rover travel very slowly, it was also prone to malfunctions, such as hitting rocks or falling into pits.
Also, if you increase the speed a little bit, the vehicle will hit some relatively small rocks and bump, causing the vehicle to be bumped and damaged."
“Basically, our lunar rover autonomous driving technology research and development team is all eating and drinking on this test site, constantly conducting experiments and making improvements.
Up to now, our lunar rover autonomous driving technology has enabled the lunar rover to achieve a maximum driving speed of twelve kilometers per hour in a simulated lunar terrain environment.
Although it is still far from the maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour we set, compared with all previous extraterrestrial ground patrols and exploration vehicles, this speed can be said to be very amazing."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiangming said to Wu Hao: "We have asked someone to prepare a video recording of the experimental process of this lunar rover's autonomous driving technology. It is about two minutes long. Why don't you take a look first."
When Wu Hao heard Zhou Xiangming's words, he nodded immediately, then picked up the water glass and drank slowly.
When Zhou Xiangming saw this, he casually motioned to the staff to start playing.
The video still starts with some preparations and some introductions about the experiment and autonomous driving technology. Then, with a countdown command, the experiment officially begins.
After receiving the order, a four-group eight-wheel lunar test vehicle quickly started to drive on the test site full of demonstrations and bumpy terrain, and continued to accelerate.
Immediately, the main screen in the video switched to the first perspective of the lunar test vehicle, and the remaining screens switched to electronic maps, and red lines were used to record the trajectory of the eight-wheeled lunar test vehicle on the test vehicle for use after the experimental test.
analysis and research.
There are also several pictures, which record the left and right and rear perspectives of the lunar test vehicle, as well as the overhead tracking perspective of the drone that was taken in the air.
As the eight-wheeled lunar test rover moved quickly, the first-person view of the vehicle also moved quickly. I saw that the eight-wheeled lunar test rover was constantly avoiding some rocks and potholes that suddenly appeared in front of it. It can be said that it adapts naturally.
.
Then the main perspective switched to the overhead tracking picture of the tracking drone. Through this perspective, everyone can more clearly see the form and status of the eight-wheel lunar test vehicle on these rocks and pitted terrain.
In the overhead tracking picture, the eight-wheeled lunar test rover shuttles very flexibly over these rocks and potholes. When encountering some difficult potholes or rock piles, the eight-wheeled lunar test rover will actively slow down and move slowly.
On some flatter routes, this eight-wheeled lunar test vehicle will immediately increase its speed.
According to the speed displayed in the lower left corner of the large screen, the eight-wheeled lunar test vehicle traveled at the test site at a speed of 12.7 kilometers per hour, nearly 13 kilometers.
To be honest, it is very satisfying to be able to maintain such a speed on such complex terrain.
Seeing this, Yang Fan immediately asked: "Is the topography of this test site fixed, or will it be rearranged and changed before the test."
Hearing the question raised by Yang Fan, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at Zhou Xiangming.
When Zhou Xiangming heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "In order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental test data, and to adapt to more lunar terrain and landforms, our test site will be rearranged after each test, and the difficulty will continue to increase.
For example, at the beginning, we must have simulated the relevant environment on the lunar plain. Later, we deliberately set up some more complex terrain areas for testing, so as to obtain more realistic experimental test data.
Moreover, we are also preparing to continue to increase the difficulty, so that after our lunar rover actually reaches the moon, it will be able to cope with various complex terrains with ease."
After listening to Zhou Xiangming's answer, Wu Hao also showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then nodded to Zhou Yonghui and affirmed: "Well done, let me say hello to the lunar rover autonomous driving technology research and development project team, they have worked hard.
Tell them that when this project is over, I will personally toast them to celebrate."
Thank you, Mr. Wu. Zhou Xiangming thanked him happily.
Wu Hao waved his hand, then looked at Zhou Xiangming and said: "There is still almost a year until the launch of our intelligent lunar rover. I hope you can cherish this year and make persistent efforts to make it the best and most reliable.
The best technologies and solutions are used in this intelligent lunar rover.
Let it fly above the moon with the expectations of all of us."
Having said this, Wu Hao looked at Zhou Xiangming and everyone present and said: "This intelligent lunar rover is crucial to our lunar exploration plan.
It will be our first attempt to enter the moon and will lay a solid foundation for our future lunar projects.
For example, one of the most important tasks of this intelligent lunar rover is to find an area on the moon for us to establish a lunar scientific research station.
If it is blocked or even fails, then a series of our follow-up projects and plans related to lunar exploration will be blocked, delayed, or even canceled.
So the burden on your shoulders is very heavy."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy.
Zhou Xiangming, on the other hand, assured Wu Hao: "Don't worry, we will do our best to complete this task.
In fact, this project also embodies the efforts and expectations of all of us.
Even if you don't remind us, we will work extra hard.
Don’t worry, we will definitely give you and everyone a satisfactory answer when the time comes.”
