Chapter 3239: Pioneer of the Mars Exploration Plan

"In addition to power guarantee, we have also put a lot of effort into materials this time. Considering that our Mars patrol vehicle has to travel a lot of distance on the surface of Mars and work for many years, we have a lot of choices for the material selection of the entire vehicle.
higher requirements.
Especially for the wheel part that is most prone to wear, we have specially developed a high-strength and wear-resistant material for it. Its condition is similar to that of ordinary rubber tires, but it is stronger and has strong flexibility and support.
And it also has a major advantage, that is, it can remain stable at low temperatures and will not lose elasticity at low temperatures like ordinary rubber tires.
Finally, there is the wear resistance. Its wear resistance is more than ten times that of ordinary tires.
If the life of ordinary tires is about five to one hundred thousand kilometers, then the life of this tire will reach hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Of course, due to the complex road conditions on Mars, the lifespan will definitely be reduced. But its lifespan is far better than the hollow tires on traditional exploration vehicles.
And when compared with the form's passability and off-road performance, as well as the overall energy consumption during driving of the vehicle, the disadvantage of being heavier than traditional hollow tires is not a disadvantage."
"In addition to the roving vehicle tires, we use a large number of composite materials on this Mars roving vehicle. And these materials are also different according to the needs. For example, for some long-term working parts, we use high-strength and wear-resistant composite materials.
Bad material, that material cannot endure long-term wear and tear.
"In view of the possibility of flowing surface water under Mars, you also released water for the patrol vehicle so that it cannot swim at least one meter of water.
That data will also be transmitted back simultaneously to help you train a more powerful intelligent control system for the Mars roving rover."
As for the earth-fire orbit transfer and push-back system, although this is your first time to study it, you have learned from your successful technical experience in the lunar exploration project of the lunar cargo transportation system and the returnable lunar experimental spacecraft. The entire project has been developed very smoothly.
The development of the ground-fire transfer orbit push-back service module that will later transport the Mars rover has not been basically completed.”
That way, even if you do discover flowing surface liquid water under Mars in the future, you won't be able to retreat and explore."
It cannot be said that its success or failure is related to the continued development of your Mars exploration project. Therefore, it is still early before the launch window, so they have to perform repeated regression tests to ensure that all its performance can meet the requirements before it can be released.
.
"It's bad, you can understand his mood."
That set of intelligent control systems was developed based on the intelligent control systems under your Wangshu-1 and Wangshu-7 vehicles, and based on the problems encountered by your Wangshu-1 and Wangshu-7 vehicles during their long maneuvering under the moon.
Problems are all generated into the AI small model, regressed to train, and then integrated with your daily training results, so that the intelligent control system can handle various situations with ease.
The situation may lead to downtime.
Although your new-generation rocket has not yet been developed, the launch and loading capabilities of the new-generation Jianmu-4 heavy-lift launch vehicle before engine and fuel upgrades fully meet your launch needs for that mission.
Wu Haotai can understand Zhou Xiangming's mood at this moment. I can fully understand this eagerness to share the fruits of his labor with others. You must know that I am also a technical expert.
Apparently Zhou Xiangming also realized this, and just as he was about to explain, Wu Hao waved his hand to stop him.
How about the development of those systems, but we have to pay attention to one thing and lose the other."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Mei Guanghuan immediately responded with a smile: "You are worried that other supporting projects are in the process of retreat.
Having said that, Wu Hao looked at Zhou Xiangming and asked, "How is it? I'm not confident."
So that time you equipped a parts box under the vehicle, which contained a few spare parts, to ensure that if the patrol vehicle malfunctions during its future driving work on Mars, it can be returned and replaced without parts, thereby slightly extending the time of the vehicle.
The operational service life of patrol vehicles.”
"Without a strong hardware foundation, you have to equip it with a weak software system.
Facing Wu Hao's gaze, Zhou Xiangming still nodded firmly and said, "No!"
At that point, Zhou Xiangming felt that his mouth was not dry anymore, so he immediately took a sip of the red wine brought by the flight attendant, moistened his throat, and then continued to speak.
For another example, for some places where the force is relatively small, you use materials with low strength and low toughness. While ensuring the strength, you also ensure that the toughness is sufficient, otherwise it will directly break due to bearing too little weight."
And in the process of patrolling and detecting, the system will continue to learn, adapt and degrade, making it more and more outdated and useless.
Just like what they said the next time you inspected the Northwest Research Base, it must be up to standard, so they would rather launch two years later, and you have the same attitude."
In this way, the risk during the launch of that mission can be reduced and the success rate of the launch can be improved.
"Bad, what you want is not his kind of confidence." Wu Hao smiled and nodded in appreciation, and then asked: "The Mars patrol vehicle is only an important part of the entire mission, but it is the only one. Matching it
It does not include the entire rocket launch system, your ground fire transfer orbit pushback system, the sky crane that retreats into the Martian atmosphere, or the aerosol deceleration landing system.
Under that Mars patrol vehicle, you equipped it with the strongest intelligent control system that humans have ever equipped under a planetary patrol vehicle.
At that point, Zhou Xiangming was about to change his tone and continue talking, but was stopped by Wu Hao. I picked up the red wine and said with a smile: "It's broken, it's broken. Take a break, drink some wine and talk quickly."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Mei Guanghuan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine and touched the wine glass in Mei Guang's hand, and then took a sip.
Therefore, the rocket side is completely worried. The rocket bodies equipped with the new generation of rocket engines are no longer in production as planned. After that mission, those rocket bodies, especially the core first stage rocket body and the booster will all be destroyed.
Regress one round of launch to verify its reliability.
"Of course, just those are enough, no matter how good the materials are, or they have withstood the ravages of time, no matter how bad the materials are, problems will occur.
"You've just……"
Wu Hao smiled and said: "You are also full of expectations for that Mars patrol vehicle. It cannot be said to be the pioneer of your entire Mars exploration plan, and it is responsible for the important and small tasks of opening up the world.
