Wu Hao stared at the location marked on the big screen, then nodded to Shi Zhaoping and said: "It can be used as an important alternative to enter the final screening stage.
In addition, if necessary, the detection time of the 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle in Zhihai can be extended to collect as much detection data as possible to facilitate subsequent site selection and construction of scientific research stations.
And prepare for scientific research projects.”
Shi Zhaoping nodded and said: "At present, Zhihai is indeed the best candidate. Of course, we cannot rule out that there are better ones.
Therefore, we will appropriately extend the detection time of the 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface patrol rover, and collect as much data and information as possible.
However, we do not recommend delaying for too long. This intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle "Wangshu" still has its own mission.
Therefore, I suggest that we screen several current candidate plans and find the most suitable location, and then launch our second intelligent lunar exploration rover to conduct more detailed scientific exploration in the selected area.
Prepare for the next step of construction of the scientific research station.
The 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle has limited detection capabilities, and more professional equipment is needed for more accurate detection."
Okay, you can sort out a detailed plan as soon as possible, and then we will invite experts and professors in related geology and planetary exploration to discuss and select together, and finally decide on the plan.
Speaking of this, Wu Hao asked Shi Zhaoping: "How is the development of our second intelligent lunar exploration vehicle going?"
Hearing Wu Hao's question, Shi Zhaoping replied with a smile: "It went very smoothly. Our second intelligent lunar exploration vehicle is actually based on the technology of the first 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle.
Developed on the lunar surface, it itself uses the sister backup vehicle of the 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle.
Therefore, there is no need to change the large platform system framework, and only need to replace and add new equipment and instruments. The overall development work is currently progressing very smoothly, and it is expected to be successfully developed in another two months. If possible, there should be no need for launch this autumn.
question."
After listening to Shi Zhaoping's introduction, Wu Hao showed a satisfied look, then nodded with a smile and said: "Then work harder, let's try to send this car to the moon in the autumn.
Many institutions, companies and individuals have shown strong interest in our lunar scientific research station project, so next, this will also become a focus of our work.
But before that, our commercial space station project must be completed as a priority."
Hearing Wu Hao mention the commercial space station, Shi Zhaoping couldn't help but said emotionally: "How is the commercial space station project over there going? Last time I went there, they had developed the core module frame system."
Shi Zhaoping belongs to the lunar exploration project, and the commercial space station is an independent project, parallel to the manned space project. Although they are both affiliated with Haoyu Aerospace, he does not know much about things there. On the one hand, he is too busy at work
, I don’t have the leisure time to pay attention to those. On the other hand, it also involves confidentiality and other issues.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded and said: "The progress is relatively smooth. At present, the core cabin-related technologies have been conquered, and the next step is the steady advancement stage. If everything goes well, we may launch ours next winter or the summer after that.
The core module of the first commercial space station will be launched, and then two more rockets will be launched in one year to complete the T-shaped basic configuration of the entire commercial space station. Subsequently, the space station will be gradually improved and expanded as needed to turn it into a complete form.
.”
Shi Zhaoping smiled and nodded happily when he heard this: "This is really great. The inflatable expandable space capsule in the commercial space station is the main technology used in the construction of our scientific research station. Only after this technology has been fully verified
, there will be no problems during the construction and use of our lunar scientific research station.
Moreover, the subsequent manned moon landing will also require the cooperation of our entire manned space system, including the space station. Therefore, its success or failure directly determines the progress of our scientific research station project."
Don’t worry, this technology has been fully verified and there will be no problems. The reason why Wu Hao said this is that the performance of the Space Oasis inflatable expandable space experimental capsule they launched before was perfect, so for this, he
Very confident.
Seeing Wu Hao say this, Shi Zhaoping also nodded and smiled.
Next, how will the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle go? Wu Hao then changed the subject with a smile and refocused his attention on the lunar satellite map on the big screen.
Hearing Wu Hao's inquiry, Shi Zhaoping replied with a smile: "Next, after the 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface patrol rover completes the relevant detection mission of Zhihai, it will keep going south and pass by the Herrigonius Crater.
, passing through Agathakides, then entering the Sea of Humidity, and exploring a series of craters such as Gassendi on the north side of the Sea of Humidity, focusing on searching for water resources here.
Based on the detection results, they will stay here for a long time and strive to fully detect the water resources of the entire Moist Sea. After that, they will enter the Plague Swamp from the southeast of the Moist Sea, and then find a suitable route to the Tycho Crater near the Moon's Antarctic Circle.
This is one of the two very famous craters on the moon, which is as famous as Copernicus Crater. Tycho Crater is about the same size as Copernicus Crater, but the impact power is indeed much greater than that of Copernicus Crater.
The impact and explosion radiation range has even reached the Liquor Mare impact crater located almost at the equator of the moon, which can be said to be very terrifying.
We hope to find new material elements here. It is possible that the six new elemental materials we launched in and around the Copernicus crater will also be found here, and they are rich in reserves.
This is definitely great news for our future commercial development of the moon.
After detecting Tycho, the 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface patrol rover may start looking for a route to see if it can go around the back of the moon."
Why not reach the south pole of the moon? Zou Xiaodong, who had been silent until now, interrupted and asked.
Haha, Shi Zhaoping smiled at Zou Xiaodong and explained: "The topography and environment at the south pole of the moon are very harsh, and this intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle 'Wangshu' may not be able to withstand it.
So after arriving at Tycho, we will make an assessment and, if possible, get as close as possible. If not, we will have to make a detour. After all, safety comes first."
