Chapter One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-One Twenty Kilograms Load
After saying this, Zhou Xiangming immediately asked Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, why did you suddenly make this request? What's wrong? Why?"
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then explained to Zhou Xiangming, Yang Xiaoyun and Guo Yulong who were concerned about this: "Of course it is for cooperation. I plan to give ten kilograms of the payload to the space agency for free, so that they can use it to carry relevant scientific research equipment.
instrument.
As for the other ten kilograms, we want to open it internationally so that it can carry some international experimental payloads."
After hearing his explanation, Zhou Xiangming shook his head again and said: "No, I can't even move a kilogram of load out.
If you insist on letting me give in, then I can only cut down on some important existing projects.
I won’t talk about other projects. I will introduce the two experimental equipment mounted on our lunar rover. If you think they can be cut off, then I have no objection.
The first is a lunar laboratory consisting of a multispectral electron microscope and elemental analyzer and other equipment that we equipped on the lunar rover. It is mainly used for the mechanical arm of our intelligent lunar rover during its travel.
Some lunar soil and rock samples were collected for timely analysis.
These data will also be transmitted back to the earth in real time for us to study and analyze the lunar soil conditions in different areas and locations of the moon.
This provides very beneficial data and information for our scientists to study the moon and lunar soil. Whether it is scientific research value, strategic value, or economic value, it is very high.
This mission will be something that all human manned and unmanned detectors have been unable to accomplish in the past, and is of milestone significance.
Do you think such an important project can be axed?"
After hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao and Yang Fan looked at each other and laughed helplessly.
Yes, they knew Zhou Xiangming would say that.
Seeing Wu Hao and the others smile bitterly, Zhou Xiangming continued: "This second one is also a lunar soil and geological detector. We developed a small fixed lunar soil and geological detector for this mission. This kind of detection
The instrument is like a rod, about 60 centimeters long and about 4 centimeters in diameter. Each rod is controlled to be about one kilogram. We have prepared a total of 100 such small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors.
Every time our intelligent lunar rover travels to an area that we think is valuable, we will order the intelligent robotic arm on the lunar rover to take out such a small fixed lunar soil and geological detector, and then insert it into the lunar surface.
in the soil.
After being inserted into the lunar soil, this small fixed lunar soil and geological detector will start working on its own.
It carries a battery itself, and there is also a small solar panel extending from it, which can track the sun's rays and provide power for small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors.
The parts of the small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors that go deep into the ground are covered with various sensors, which are used to measure long-term temperature and humidity changes inside the lunar soil, as well as collect weak moonquake data.
In this way, one hundred small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors can cover a very large area, and each small fixed lunar soil and geological detector has a transmitter and receiver on it, which can serve as a relay station.
, to carry out relay data transmission.
In this way, we can rely on these one hundred small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors to long-term monitor data changes in a large range of the moon.
This provides us with very good data information for our next step in detecting and using the moon. At the same time, this data information will also become a new point for foreign cooperation and profitability.
According to your request, we can only reduce the number of these small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors. Twenty kilograms, that is twenty small fixed lunar soil and geological detectors.
The moon has no air, so the transmission distance of radio waves is farther. Twenty radio waves can cover a large area.
Do you think we have to cut off a project like this just for the sake of a mere 20 kilograms of payload? It’s such a pity.”
Wu Hao couldn't help laughing and scolding when he heard this: "I haven't seen you in the past few days. I didn't expect that you, Zhou Xiangming, are so eloquent.
I think you should stop being engaged in technology and just go back to the head office to engage in management and operations."
Hearing his joke, Zhou Xiangming felt a little embarrassed and said: "Don't make fun of me. I'm suitable for scientific research. If you ask me to do this other job, it's not like rushing a duck to the shelf and embarrassing me."
Having said this, Zhou Xiangming couldn't help but plead to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, I really can't give up. You think otherwise, wait until the next time, the next mission, we will give up the payload from the beginning of the design.
It’s easier this way.”
Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but shook his head, and then explained to Zhou Xiangming: "Of course I know that the twenty kilogram load is not easy to give up, but from the perspective of the development of the overall project, it still has to be given up.
Twenty kilograms of load is neither too much nor too little. Since there is no way to reduce it, the only choice is to increase the overall load."
Increase the overall payload of the lunar rover?
When Zhou Xiangming heard this, he immediately shook his head: "You know how much weight our sky crane, lunar orbiter, and launch vehicle will increase for every additional kilogram of load, and how much cost this will bring."
In response, Wu Hao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. The transportation capacity of our Jianmu-7 rocket is more than enough, so you don't have to worry about the rocket's transportation capacity at all.
The weight of twenty kilograms does not have much impact on the orbiter, so there is no need to worry about this. So the only thing you have to pay attention to is the landing, especially the impact on the sky crane.
We are still almost a year away from launch, and I believe you can successfully solve this problem."
After hearing his words, Zhou Xiangming lowered his head and thought carefully, then looked up at Wu Hao, gritted his teeth and said with a determined expression: "You can increase the load by 20 kilograms, but I have a condition.
"
Oh, you are really good at finding opportunities to speak. Talk first and I will listen. Wu Hao joked and did not agree directly. He had to listen to the other party's conditions first. Otherwise, if he agreed rashly,
If the opponent's lion opens his mouth and puts forward an embarrassing condition, then he will really be riding a tiger in a difficult situation.
After hearing his words, Zhou Xiangming moved his mouth, and then said: "In this way, our workload will double. So not only do you have to give us additional bonuses, but you also have to increase the scientific research funding for the project. No
