Chapter 3228: Living on the moon is not romantic at all
After hearing his words, Jiang Nan nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Whether it is an integrated manned lunar landing spacecraft or the relay manned lunar landing system you pioneered, they are actually
They are all serving your Lunar Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station.
Since the construction of your Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station project started, everyone has been very concerned about the progress of the research station. Can you take this opportunity to introduce to us the relevant situation of the research station? The construction of the research station is now in progress.
What stage?”
Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled. Although he had read the script a long time ago, after hearing this question, Wu Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This reporter's questions are really one after another.
Buckle, seamless connection.
Wu Hao made a slight complaint in his mind and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a very good understanding of our projects. Thank you for your concern for our Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station.
Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station is an important base for our future lunar exploration and scientific research. Its construction is a complex and huge project. From the initial site selection and design to subsequent construction and assembly, every step requires careful attention.
Planning and rigorous implementation. Now, after several years of hard work, our research station has begun to take shape.
At present, our construction is progressing smoothly. The completed parts include the living area, the energy area and some scientific research facilities. The living area provides the basic life support of the astronauts, the energy area is responsible for providing power and heat support, and the scientific research facilities carry out various
A place for scientific experiments and research.
Next, we plan to further improve scientific research facilities and add more experimental equipment to conduct more in-depth scientific research. At the same time, we will also build more residential and activity facilities to improve the quality of life and work efficiency of astronauts.
In general, the construction of the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station is a long-term process that requires our continuous efforts and investment. But we have made a lot of progress, and I believe that in the near future, this research station will become our first choice for exploring the moon.
An important base for studying the solar system.
In addition, the Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station is not only a scientific research base, it is also an important step towards deep space exploration. Here, we will carry out a series of unprecedented scientific research and explore more for the future development of mankind.
possibility."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Jiang Nan also showed a look of excitement on his face, and then asked: "When I heard you say that, I think many people are very concerned about when this Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station will be able to
Welcoming the first batch of astronauts and scientists, when will our ordinary tourists be able to go to this scientific research station and travel to the moon."
Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled and then said: "Our Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station is divided into three phases. Currently we are building the first phase of the scientific research station. The current first-level project is
The construction progress is more than half over, and 80% of the main project has been completed. The next thing to do is the later improvement work of the project, which is relatively more complicated than the main construction in the early stage, so the progress of the project is also much slower.
According to the current project progress, if everything goes well, we are confident that we will complete the construction of the first phase of the Zhihai Lunar Scientific Research Station within two years and make it meet the occupancy standards.
However, if you want to wait until the first batch of astronauts are admitted to the Zhihai Lunar Science Exploration Station, it still depends on whether other supporting projects are completed.
For example, whether our Moon Express Earth-lunar transfer spacecraft, our lunar landing ascender and other projects can be successfully launched and operate normally.
Only when these projects are completed can astronauts take this complete relay-type manned lunar landing system to the moon and stay at the Zhihai Zhihai Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station.
However, the stay for the first batch of astronauts will not be too long, about three months.
We need the first batch of astronauts to help us verify the overall operation of the lunar scientific research station, including the living environment, quality of life, working conditions, etc.
Only when the performance of the entire Zhihai lunar scientific research station is evaluated can we continue to open it and welcome the next batch of astronauts and even scientists to live there.
It would be too wasteful for such a large Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station to only house astronauts, so we sent some scientists there. After all, they have more advantages in the field of scientific research.
From now on, there will be a clear division of labor in this Zhihai lunar scientific research station. The astronauts will be responsible for the maintenance of the station, the control of equipment, and the execution of related tasks.
Our scientists only need to concentrate on their research, and they don’t need to worry about other things.”
Hearing Wu Hao's answer, Jiang Nan nodded and said: "It is true that astronauts and scientists have different physical fitness and professional directions. If they can perform their respective duties, it will definitely be very good.
I believe this job will be welcomed by everyone. Imagine working on the moon, how romantic it is."
Wu Hao smiled and said: "In the eyes of scientists, this job is not romantic at all, but full of risks. Maybe life on the moon is a little better than in space, but it is not much better, and the risks are still huge.
And being together for 380,000 kilometers makes it even more difficult to escape.
On the space station, in an emergency, you can take a spacecraft to evacuate the space station and then return to the earth. But on the moon, all this becomes difficult because of the distance."
"I heard that living on the surface of the moon is much better than living on the space station. At least it has gravity. Although it is very small, it will not let the astronauts fly around, let alone make their muscles atrophy, so that they can achieve long-term
Living. So how big is this gap, compared with the earth?" Jiang Nan asked, revealing the doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, Wu Hao shook his head: "Although the moon's surface has a weak gravity, the challenges it brings are still huge. Living on the moon for a long time requires solving many problems.
First of all, the moon's gravity is very small, only about one-sixth that of the earth. This means that the living environment on the moon is very different from that on the earth. In order to simulate the earth's gravity environment, astronauts need to constantly train and adapt.
to cope with physical and mental challenges.
Secondly, there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, which means there is no air and water source. Air and water are necessary to maintain human survival, so it is necessary to establish closed living facilities on the moon and transport supplies from the earth or other places. This not only increases the cost
and difficulty, and also puts forward higher requirements for sustainability.”
